grand review of the army in honor of the President. The Second Corps paraded with Howard's Eleventh Corps, I think, for after I had saluted at the head of my corps I rode to the side of the President, who was on horseback, and while near him General Schurz approached at the head of his division. I said: Mr. Lincoln, that is General Schurz, pronouncing it Shurs, after the American fashion. Mr. Lincoln turned to me and said: Not Shurs, General Couch, but Shoortz. But he did it very pleasantly, General Schurz, pronouncing it Shurs, after the American fashion. Mr. Lincoln turned to me and said: Not Shurs, General Couch, but Shoortz. But he did it very pleasantly, and I was just a little surprised that our Western President should have the advantage of me. It was a beautiful day, and the review was a stirring sight. Mr. Lincoln, sitting there with his hat off, head bent, and seemingly meditating, suddenly turned to me and said: General Couch, what do you suppose will become of all these men when the war is over? And it struck me as very pleasant that somebody had an idea that the war would sometime end.

xt to Steinwehr, toward our right, came General Carl Schurz's division. First was Captain Dilger's about half on the front and half in reserve. Schurz's right brigade was that of Schimmelfennig, dion,--the Second Brigade, under McLean, next to Schurz's first, and then pushing out on the pike for Steinwehr's skirmishers, and then passed on to Schurz. Schimmelfennig pushed out a brigade straightticed the breastworks, unusually well built by Schurz and Devens. He passed to the extreme right, a than three or four miles off, and in motion. Schurz was anxious and, with my approval, moved a parno such order came to me.

Over at Hawkins's hill, on the north of the road, Carl Schurz makes a stand, soon to be driven into the same hopeless panic. By the quiet Wilderness Church in the vale, leaving wounded and dead everywhere, by Melzi Chancellor's, on into the deep thicket again, the Confederate lines pressed forward,--now broken and all disaligned by the density of bush that tears the clothes away; now halting to load and deliver a volley upon some regiment or fragment of the enemy that will not move as fast as others. Thus the attack upon Hooker's flank was a grand

It is simply to give you the information you wish for, and which it gives me pleasure to furnish. Very truly yours, C. Schurz. Major-General Hooker. P. S.--Whether General Howard received on that day any dispatches or instructions from you subsequent to those mentioned, I do not know.

By this time, near noon, General Howard arrived, assumed command, and directed General Schurz, commanding the Eleventh Corps, to prolong Doubleday's line toward Oak Hill with Schimmelfennig's and Barlow's divisi longer a question of prolonging Doubleday's line, but of protecting it against Ewell whilst engaged in front with Hill. Schurz's two divisions, hardly 6000 effectives, accordingly formed line on the open plain half a mile north of the town. They wtion for his own right, advanced his division, supported by Wilkeson's battery, and seized it. This made it necessary for Schurz to advance a brigade of Schimmelfennig's division to connect with Barlow, thus lengthening his already too extended line.ed back to its original line, on which, with the aid of Coster's brigade and Heckman's battery, drawn from Cemetery Hill, Schurz endeavored to rally it and cover the town.
