is own hand, wrote the following order: It is virtually certain that General McClellan never saw this order, which, in the form as written by the President, was never promulgated. General Hunter was not placed in command of Burnside's corps. Hooker was ordered to relieve Porter by Special Orders from the War Department, Adjutant-General's Office, dated November 10th, 1862. Executive Mansion, Washington, 1862 By direction of the President it is ordered that Major-General McClellan bof that army. Also that Major-General Hunter take command of the corps in said army now commanded by General Burnside. That Major-General Fitz John Porter be relieved from the command of the corps he now commands in said army, and that Major-General Hooker take command of said corps.

c, Dec. 13th, 1862.--2:40 P. M. General Couch: Hooker has been ordered to put in everything. You mu dislodge the Confederate Sharp-Shooters. Hooker was the ranking general, and as I understood tnce we have is to try to get in on the right. Hooker replied, I will talk with Hancock. He talked and he lost a great many men and horses. When Hooker came he ordered Frank's battery to join Hazard wounded were being brought off the plain, and Hooker was talking about relieving my men in front byrner of Hanover street. It was decided that Hooker's troops should hold the town. The question wrything he would undertake would fail, and General Hooker informed me that that was the general feelinterference in our behalf.--editors.

ur battles. I arrived at the Phillips house about :11 o'clock to learn that I had probably passed General Burnside on the road, who had gone to perfect the details for a second attack. Those present at the Phillips house were Generals Sumner, Hooker, Franklin, Hardie, and Colonel Taylor. I made a brief statement and explanation of the object of my mission, which deeply interested all present. They united in a desire that I should wait until the arrival of General Burnside, which occurred a of an argument, General Burnside asked General Sumner what he thought, and he replied that the troops had undergone such great fatigue and privation, and met with such a disaster, that it would not be prudent to make another attack so soon. General Hooker, who was lying full length upon a bed in one corner of the room, upon being appealed to by General Burnside, sat up and said in the most frank and decided manner that the attack ought not to be renewed that morning. Then a general consultati

before them for decision. The grand division commanders, Sumner, Franklin, and Hooker, were present, and also, I think, the corps commanders. I was present as commae river in our front, and gain a fair field for a battle. From the same ground Hooker afterward marched north-west, and by a series of fine movements placed himself on to offer battle at Chancellorsville on at least equal terms. The outcome of Hooker's campaign belied its beginning, but it led to the battle of Gettysburg, which efully studied, and he stood ready to execute any orders he might receive. General Hooker then said, in substance, that it was preposterous to talk about our crossinat once give the order for Birney's and Sickles's divisions of the Third Corps (Hooker's center Grand division) to cross the bridge and be ready to begin to relieve then he told me that he had it in his mind to relieve Sumner from command, place Hooker in arrest, and Franklin in command of the army. in the third interview Gener

General Sumner had about 27,000 men, comprising his own grand division, except Burns's division of the Ninth Corps. General Hooker's command was about 26,000 strong, two of General Stoneman's divisions having reported to General Franklin. These numbers aggregate 113,000.

isparity in numbers. They would be repeated the next, and often during the same night at a different point, and this created a vastly exaggerated idea of my force. Some conception may be formed of the alarm it produced from a fact stated by General Hooker, that in the spring of 1863 the planks on Chain Bridge were taken up every night to keep me out of Washington. At that time I could not muster over twenty men. A small force moving with celerity and threatening many points on a line can neutralize a hundred times its own number. The line must be stronger at every point than the attacking force, else it is broken. At that time Hooker asked that the cavalry division belonging to the defenses of Washington be sent to the front to reinforce Pleasonton when he crossed the Rappahannock to engage Stuart in the great cavalry combat of June 9th.

my from a strong position occupied by him on the south bank of the Rapidan, after he had crossed and destroyed the bridge. While thus engaged on the morning of the 2d we were recalled to the Army of the Potomac at U. S. Ford by orders from General Hooker. We reached Ely's Ford of the Rapidan after dark on the evening of the 2d, and were fired upon by the enemy's infantry from the opposite bank. A part of McIntosh's brigade forded the river, dismounted, drove away the enemy, some of the 13thange Springs at 12 M. on the 6th. Here we first began to hear rumors, through negroes, of the repulse and withdrawal of our army to the north side of the Rappahannock. After watering and feeding our animals, we pushed on to the Plank road leading from Fredericksburg to Orange Court House, and from thence to Raccoon Ford, which, to our great joy, we found fordable, and were all over safe by daylight on the morning of the 7th. editors.

I was much surprised to find that General Hooker, who up to that time had been all vigor, ehimself that his army had been surprised.
