General Bragg recognized the inadequacy of General Smith's force, and on June 27th he transferred the division commanded by Major-General John P. McCown from. Tupelo to Chattanooga. General Kirby Smith, in a letter dated July 14th, 1862, estimated Stevenson's division at 10,000, Heth's and McCown's at 10,000, Morgan's cavalry 1300. Official Records, Vol. XVI., Pt. II., p. 727.--editors. Forrest and John H. Morgan had already been sent into middle Tennessee and Kentucky, and the operations of these enterprising officers materially lessened the pressure upon General Smith. Correspondence between Generals Bragg and Smith resulted in an order, dated July 21st, transferring the entire Army of Mississippi to Chattanooga. To mislead the enemy and to prevent an advance upon Tupelo, Bragg had, on the 19th, sent Colonel Joseph Wheeler wi

The organization on the 3d of July was as follows: Second Brigade, Col. James E. Rains: 4th Tenn., Col. J. A. McMurry; 11th Tenn., Col. J. E. R

f my command in some telegraphic dispatches to the War Department at Richmond relative to the battle of the 13th, General Longstreet indorses these words: General Ransom's division was engaged throughout the battle and was quite as distinguished as any troops upon the field ; and the same day, the 19th of December, I received from both him and General Chilton notes expressing the regret felt by General Lee at the injustice of which I complained. Those original letters are now among the Official Records in Washington. I may be pardoned for remembering with pride that among the Confederate troops engaged on the whole battle-field of Fredericksburg, Va., December 13th, 1862, none were more honorably distinguished than the sons of North Carolina, and those of them who, with brother soldiers from other States, held the lines at Marye's Hill against almost ten times their number of as brave and determined foes as ever did battle, can well trust their fame to history when written from tru

army for active operations . . . independent of the forces he may deem necessary for the defense of Washington, when such active army shall take the field. ( Official Records, Vol. XIX., Part II., p. 169.) The published extracts from Chase's diary, though voluminous in the earlier stages, are silent on the subject of McClellantrative services in Washington; that some of the supplies did not reach the troops for a long time, In particular the statement of General Rufus Ingalls ( Official Records, Vol. XIX., Part I., p. 95) seems to me conclusive, although the contrary view is strongly held by high authority.--R.

h General Burnside's plans. He also remarked that he could have forded the stream with a part of his command at Falmouth several days before had he been allowed to do so; he then rode away. We were ordered back into camp, and the golden opportunity passed — a blunder for which we were in no way responsible, but for which we were destined to suffer. We did not receive the order to leave Berlin, six miles below Harper's Ferry, until late on the seventh day after it was issued. The Official Records show that this order, issued by Captain J. C. Duane, Chief-Engineer of the Army of the Potomac at Rectortown, on the 6th of November, did not reach Major Spaulding, at Berlin, until the afternoon of November 12th. General Halleck's report exonerates the engineers from all blame.--editors. We took up two bridges, each 1100 feet long, loaded and moved them by canal and land transportation to Washington, where we received 500 unbroken mules. We then fitted up two trains, moved through the

up their own wounds, and the coffee we had given them had cheered them into life and hope. Their cheerfulness grew into hilarity and merriment as they found themselves clear, at last, from the dead, and facing toward home, with a hope not by any means so impossible of realization as it had seemed not long before. Poor fellows! their joy was more touching than their sufferings,--which, indeed, they seemed to have forgotten. In our own brigade we found we had lost nearly 150, The Official Records (Vol. XXI., Pt. I., p. 136) give the loss as 12 killed, 114 wounded, 14 missing; total, 140.--editors. out of a present-for-duty strength of about 1000 men. This would have been a fair average loss in any ordinary battle, but we had suffered it as we lay on the ground inactive, without the excitement and dash of battle and without the chance to reply: a strain upon nerves and physical endurance which we afterward remembered as severer than many more fatal fields.

Regarding the strength of his army on the morning of December 13th, General Burnside says ( Official Records, Vol. XXI., p. 90): The forces now under conmmand of General Franklin consisted of about 60,000 men, as shown by the morning reports, and was composed as fo of General Stoneman's divisions having reported to General Franklin. These numbers aggregate 113,000. According to Burnside's return for December 10th ( Official Records, Vol. XXI., p. 1121), the present for duty equipped, or available for line of battle, was 104,903 infantry, 5884 cavalry, and 5896 artillery == 116,683. .

lank. As to pickets, each division had a good line of them. My aide, Major Charles H. Howard, assisted in connecting them between divisions, and during the 2d of May that fearless and faithful staff-officer, Major E. Whittlesey, rode the entire circuit of their front to stimulate them to special activity. Those of Devens were thrown out at a distance from a half-mile to a mile and stretching well around covering our right flank ; See General Devens's report of Chancellorsville ( Official Records, Vol. XXV., Part I., p. 632).--O. O. H. and the picket-posts in front on the pike were over two miles beyond the main line. The nature of the country in the neighborhood of the three adjoining farms, Dowdall's Talley's, and Hawkins's, became well known to the Army of the Potomac in subsequent experiences, never to be forgotten. It is the terrible Wilderness where, later in the war, so many brave men fell. Here were stunted trees, such as scraggy oaks, bushy firs, cedars, and junip
