The main body immediately crossed at the Raccoon Ford, the rear getting over about 10 P. M. No fires built to-night, as we were in plain view from Clark's Mountain, a few miles to the south of the ford, and on the top of which the enemy have a signal station. We learned here that Stuart, with Fitzhugh Lee's brigade, had that morning crossed at Somerville Ford, five miles above Raccoon Ford, and had gone toward Fredericksburg, and we thought it more than probable that we should find him on the Plank road at Verdierville, where we had to strike it on our way south. Orders were issued to be in the saddle at 2 o'clock in the morning, and we lay down on the wet ground to get a couple of hours' sleep. Two o'clock came, but the fog was so thick that it was impossible to move, more particularly

distance. The position of Lee's army remained unchanged until the 29th, when Lee was informed that large bodies of Federals were moving toward Chancellorsville. It was the first information he had received of Hooker's movement on his left, and it is said he was incensed at the delay of the communication. [See p. 233.] At midnight Anderson's division of Lee's army hurriedly moved from Fredericksburg and intrenched about four or five miles from Hooker's headquarters. In an address of Fitzhugh Lee delivered to the Association of the Army of Northern Virginia he stated: General Robert E. Lee said that Jackson had first preferred to attack Sedgwick's corps in the plain at Fredericksburg; Lee told him he felt it was as impracticable as at the first battle of Fredericksburg; it was hard to get at the enemy and harder to get away, on account of the artillery on the north bank, if we drove them into the river; but, said he to Jackson, If your think it can be done, I will give you orders

Longstreet, indeed, urged General Lee instead of attacking to turn Meade's left, ttack the Confederate army in position; but General Lee probably saw that Meade would be under no s waiting game, which it would be impossible for Lee to maintain in the open country. He could not these advantages. It is more probable that General Lee was influenced by cool calculation of this attack and awaited Ewell's instructions. General Lee had, however; during the night determined twhere he was, and he had some apprehension that Lee would attempt to turn his flank and threaten hi the ridge. It would appear from this that General Lee mistook the few troops on the Peach Orchardipe Creek line for Gettysburg on the chances of Lee's army not yet being assembled; and also, that eft him without any reserve.

The answers to this last question showed the only material variation in the opinion of the members. When the voting was over General Meade said quietly, ext day. By a reference to the votes in council it will be seen that the majority of the members were in favor of acting on the defensive and awaiting the action of Lee. In referring to the matter, just as the council broke up, Meade said to me, If Lee attacks to-morrow, it will be in your front. I asked him why he thought so, and If Lee attacks to-morrow, it will be in your front. I asked him why he thought so, and he replied, Because he has made attacks on both our flanks and failed, and if he concludes to try it again it will be on our center. I expressed the hope that he would, and told General Meade, with confidence, that if he did we would defeat him.

t too near to our lines to retreat, and threw down their arms, ran up close to our works, threw up their handkerchiefs or white rags, and were allowed to come unarmed into our lines. Shaler's and Canda's brigades were sent to our support and took part in the defense of our lines on the morning of July 3d. By 10 A. M. the fighting ceased, and at 1 P. M. the enemy had disappeared from our front, and our men went to Rock Creek for water. Of the disastrous consequences to the Union army, had Lee succeeded in penetrating our lines and placing himself square across the Baltimore pike in rear of the center and right wing of the entire army, there can be no question. Fortunately it was averted by the steady and determined courage of the five New York regiments above named, The assailants were Johnson's division of Ewell's (Second) Corps, consisting of twenty-two regiments, organized into four brigades — Steuart's, Nicholls's, Jones's, and Walker's — the latter being the famous Stonewall
