e very day that the cartel was signed in Virginia, directs the military commanders of the United States to take the private property of our people for the convenience and use of their armies, without compensation. The general order issued by Major-General Pope, on the 23d of July, the day after the signing of the cartel, directs the murder of our peaceful inhabitants as spies, if found quietly tilling their farms in his rear, even outside of his lines; and one of his brigadier-generals, Steinwehr, has seized upon innocent and peaceful inhabitants, to be held as hostages, to the end that they may be murdered in cold blood if any of his soldiers are killed by some unknown persons, whom he designates as bushwhackers. Under this state of facts, this Government has issued the inclosed general order, recognizing General Pope and his commissioned officers to be in the position which they have chosen for themselves, that of robbers and murderers, and not that of public enemies, entitle

ns, who was nearest the enemy, was severely wounded in attempting to rally his men. His division taken in flank was driven back on Schurz's division, and that on Steinwehr's; and all retreated, driven in by sheer force of numbers. Among all their retreating body there was but one Massachusetts regiment, the 33d, this being one of its commander, broken and defeated but not discouraged, and was a mere advance guard of the army. The men captured were largely taken in the effort to reach General Steinwehr's division on Cemetery Hill, which was their rallying point. Doubleday's Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, p. 150. On the second day of Gettysburg (Julans, two army corps were hastily sent, the 11th under Howard, the 12th under Slocum. The first of these included the 33d Mass. (Lieut.-Col. Godfrey Rider, Jr., Steinwehr's division) and the second included the 2d Mass. (Colonel Cogswell, Williams's division). The orders arriving Sept. 24, 1863, the troops travelled west by rail f

ransferred to the 41st Mass. Infantry in this month. It moved in December to Falmouth, and took up winter quarters, engaging in the mud march of January, 1863. As part of General Barlow's Brigade at Chancellorsville, the regiment, with the exception of two companies left on picket with the 11th Corps, was sent in support of General Sickles in his movement on the afternoon of May 2. It acted in support of General Pleasanton in the battle of Beverly Ford June 9. At Gettysburg, as part of Steinwehr's Division, it held Cemetery Ridge during the three days of the battle. Returning to Virginia and posted for a time at Catlett's and Bristoe's stations, it was ordered in September with the 11th Corps under Hooker to join the Army of the Cumberland in Tennessee, and arrived at Bridgeport, Tenn., October 1. It took part at the battle of Wauhatchie or Lookout Valley, forming with the 73d Ohio the force to assault the heights, meeting most severe loss, though finally successful. Colonel Un

General Howard left a division Steinwehr's division. in reserve on Cemetery Hill, and placed the divisions of Schurz This division was, for the time being, under General Schimmelpfenig, Schurz commanding the corp. and Barlow to the right of the First Corps, on a prolongation of itsa more pressing duty forced upon him; for it was clear that if the flight of the shattered masses of the First and Eleventh corps was not stayed, a great disaster must follow. The sole nucleus of stability was presented by a single brigade of Steinwehr's division which General Howard, on arriving, had left in reserve on Cemetery Hill, and the cavalry of Buford, which, deployed on the plain to the left of the town, and in front of the ridge, presented a bold and firm front.

the right was otherwise criminal. In him alone centered all the information of constantly occurring changes. To him alone was reported each new circumstance. His subordinates knew but the partial truth. They relied on him for the initiative. At 6 P. M., then, the situation was this: The left and centre lay as before. Howard held the right, the key of the position, with 10,000 men, a half brigade of Devens's only astride the pike, the rest of Devens's and Schurz's facing south, and Steinwehr massed at Dowdall's. Howard's best brigade was gone, and there was not a man to support him between Dowdall's and Chancellorsville. For this portion of the line under Sickles had been advanced into the woods nearly two miles. On the right flank of this little force lay Jackson's corps of over 20,000 men, whose wide wings, like the arms of a gigantic cuttlefish, were ready to clutch it in their fatal embrace. To cover Jackson's march, Lee at intervals during the day tapped at the lines

ntil next day late in the afternoon. Thus the 1st and 11th Corps, were signally defeated by 2:30, July 1st. General Hill had lost heavily; General Rodes of Ewell's Corps had not suffered much and his men, as I saw them, were in high spirits. General Early had hardly suffered at all and General Johnson had not been in the fight, only reaching the field by sundown. What were the enemy's condition and movements? July 1st. At 3 P. M. the 1st and 11th Corps had been dispersed, except Steinwehr's Division of 3 or 4000 men, a reserve left on Cemetery Hill. General Hancock reached Cemetery Hill in person about 4:30, and at once advised General Meade to bring his whole army there. Slocum's 12th Corps arrived about 4:30 P. M. and was posted on the right (Federal right). Sickles with only Birney's Division, 3rd Corps, arrived about 5 P. M. and formed on the left of 1st Corps. These troops had all made forced marches, and were not in fighting order. General Wadsworth's Division t
