rther down, opposite the lower part of the city, and a third a mile below. As the time drew near for laying the bridges I ascended the Stafford Hills, where General Hunt had placed Burnside's numerous cannon so as to cover the bridge approaches. The Confederate lines, of which I had glimpses here and there, appeared to be draw the enemy's galling fire. Burnside came to our front in the afternoon and, noticing that the whole force in that vicinity was in waiting, sent for Woodbury and Hunt. Woodbury showed him the impossibility of getting any farther, now that the fog had cleared away and that his bridgemen had no cover from Confederate riflemen. HHunt mentioned the daring feat of crossing in separate boats. Burnside said: Let us do that. I selected Hall's brigade of my division for the trial. The instant Colonel Hall in the presence of his men asked who would go ahead in the precarious enterprise, Lieutenant Colonel Baxter and his entire regiment, the Seventh Michigan, v

he drills, occupied the time and the minds of the soldiers. The cavalry became a corps, and Stoneman was put in command of it. The artillery reserve, given to General Hunt, was brought to a high degree of efficiency. In truth, during February, March, and April, the old cheerful, hopeful, trustful spirit which had carried us thFirst Corps, Reynolds; Second, Couch; Third, Sickles; Fifth, Meade; Sixth, Sedgwick; Eleventh, Howard; Twelfth, Slocum; cavalry corps, Stoneman; reserve artillery, Hunt. The Confederate army opposite numbered about 60,000: four divisions under under Stonewall, two (Anderson's and McLaws's) acting separately, and Stuart's cava and Brooks's division, aided by a battery, held a stone bridgehead below Fredericksburg and kept the way open for his corps. The preliminaries to all this work --Hunt planting the helpful artillery and Benham bringing up his bridges, and the concentration of the troops — were thoroughly provided for and executed with secrecy and

was not deemed possible to cut out and cut down our reduced brigades and regiments. It might have destroyed our existing morale. And I think General Hooker, like McClellan, enjoyed maneuvering several independent bodies. At any rate, he had the awkward number of eight small corps, besides his artillery. John F. Reynolds commanded the First, Hancock the Second, Sickles the Third, Meade the Fifth, Sedgwick the Sixth, Howard the Eleventh, Slocum the Twelfth, and Pleasonton the cavalry; while Hunt had general charge of the artillery. We had then, in May, 1863, an average of about 11,000 in each infantry corps, in the neighborhood of 10,000 cavalry ready for the field and 4,000 artillery with 387 guns-making an effective force of about 102,000 of all arms. The armies thus organized stood on opposite sides of the Rappahannock. Rumors had reached us soon after our defeat that the Confederate authorities proposed another effort to turn our flank, similar to that of the year before whi

For a time the Fifth Corps arriving, was placed in reserve; and all the army reserve of artillery Hunt carefully placed in the angle between the Baltimore pike and the Taneytown road. Buford's cavalry had gone to the rear fockett's main force had in support Willcox's brigade on its right and Pettigrew's six brigades on its left. On our side, Hunt had arranged the artillery into four divisions: 1. On Cemetery Heights, under Osborn, having a large sweep of the frontve. 3. McGilvery about 40, near Little Round Top, favorable for a direct or oblique fire; and 4. The reserve, which Hunt kept ready under shelter, for quick replacement of any which might become disabled. The infantry had changed place but
