1, 1861, the resignation of his army commission was tendered and accepted. Hardee's course in this matter produced quite a sensation at West Point. Lieutenant Colonel John F. Reynolds, of Pennsylvania, almost the first to fall at Gettysburg, succeeding Hardee at the academy, commanded the cadets till after my departure. His emineg ambition; for were not civilians without military knowledge taking regiments or even brigades? Surely, I was as well prepared as they I I hastened to Lieutenant Colonel Reynolds, the commandant of cadets, who was many years my senior and had seen service in various capacities, and asked him to tell me about a regimental command. Reynolds smiled at my ardor. Why, he asked, what is the matter Oh, I've had the tender, or what amounts to it, of a Maine regiment. What answer would you give, colonel You'll accept, of course, Howard. He then took up the army regulations and turned to the duties of regimental officers, folding down the leaves,

rward. Soon a stubborn resistance came from Jackson's chosen position. It was a hard battle that day, begun differently from the first battle of Bull Run, but not far from that point. Sigel put in the divisions of Schurz, Schenck, Milroy, and Reynolds, and kept on firing and gaining ground till noon, when the ardent Kearny arrived. By two o'clock Hooker and Reno also were on the ground. Pope coming up rearranged the battle front; he placed Kearny's troops on his right, Reynolds's on his Reynolds's on his left, with Hooker's and Reno's at the center, and then made a reserve. There was irregular fighting till about 4.30, when a desperate attack was made. Kearny and Hooker got nearer and nearer, firing and advancing, till it appeared as though the railway cut and embankment of Jackson would certainly be taken by their repeated charges. McDowell and Porter, quite early, marching from the east had come upon a stubborn skirmish line; the former left Porter to watch this resistance, whatever it wa

he Twelfth; Sumner remaining in charge of the two. The Fifth and Sixth Corps retained the same chiefs, Porter and Franklin, each having been enlarged to three divisions. Willcox, taking the Ninth, had succeeded Reno (killed in battle), and John F. Reynolds had the First Corps in place of Hooker (wounded). These two (the First and Ninth) were still under Burnside's direction. The new troops promised from the defenses of the capital were commanded by Sigel, Heintzelman, and Bayard, the latter htly transferred to the vicinity of the Manassas Gap Railroad. Sigel's Eleventh Corps, and part of Heintzelman's, with Bayard's cavalry, had marched out from Washington and were holding Thoroughfare Gap, New Baltimore, and Warrenton Junction. Reynolds's corps was at Warrenton, Willcox's at Waterloo; ours (the Second) at Rectortown, while Porter's and Franklin's were not far in the rear, toward Upperville-McClellan's headquarters being at Rectortown.

mile above. On the 12th Franklin's two corps, Baldy Smith's and Reynolds's, completed their crossing before 1 P. M. Smith put out two divisoad, which here was parallel with the river and a mile from it. Reynolds formed his corps in the same style on Smith's left, but refused hiandom shots from Lee's artillery during this unfolding operation. Reynolds's front now looked directly toward the Massaponax, less than a miliar formation, were straight and parallel with the river excepting Reynolds's corps, which on the extreme left faced almost south and was nearnklin. To obey his instructions Franklin chose the corps of John F. Reynolds, which was made up of three divisions: 1st, Doubleday's; 2d, Gman's corps were brought up from the bridges and made a reserve to Reynolds. Meade started southward as if to cross the Massaponax, moved se Second Corps (Couch's) on his right hand and to the First Corps (Reynolds's) on his left. The word support is an uncertain one, and often a

He here made sunas early as Monday A. M. Our army at that time numbered for duty about 130,000--First Corps, Reynolds; Second, Couch; Third, Sickles; Fifth, Meade; Sixth, Sedgwick; Eleventh, Howard; Twelfth, Slocuonsist of the First, Third, and Sixth Corps, Sedgwick to command. According to instructions, Reynolds took his command (the First Corps) to the lower place, near Pollock's Mills Creek. The Sixth C Run. With some little delay and after overcoming the enemy's pickets, Wadsworth's division of Reynolds's corps was firmly established on the other shore, and the remainder of that corps held at handin, from the roads on our maps, that Lee would have to make a large detour. To withstand this, Reynolds's corps, recently come up from Falmouth, was on hand, besides the artillery and the reserves of

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 st now, at Fairfax Court House. Charlie (Major C. It. Howard) is quite well, and so is Captain Stinson, aid-de-camp. Charlie has just at this time gone to General Reynolds's camp, and Captain Stinson to that of General Meade. I have a new officer on my staff-Captain Daniel Hall, additional aiddecamp, formerly John P. Hale's pr the long marches began they became few and short. We first, setting out the next day after Ames's return from Brandy Station, came to Catlett's Station. General J. F. Reynolds was given a wing of the army, just then the right; it consisted of the First (his own corps), the Third (Sickles's), and the Eleventh (mine). When I was

It was near the run, on the right-g would be likely to play in the conflict. Reynolds seemed depressed, almost as if he had a prese Buford near the seminary. It appears that Reynolds, who commanded our wing, gave that morning thely fire upon the enemy's right. Just as General Reynolds beheld the movement of his Iron brigade gte from Taneytown. Being obliged to wait for Reynolds's order of execution, the columns did not stas were already hotly engaged.
