Russell's division was in line of battle upon the rough and somewhat stony slope leading up to the works, one brigade, Colonel Upton's, being deployed as skirmishers. Here comes Russell; he can speak for himself, answered Wright. As Russell joined the group, Sedgwick asked, ` Russell, do yen of his command tumbling over the parapet, he yelled, I take it back, and made a dash for the colors, which he secured. He was mentioned in orders the next day. Upton's men had swarmed over the rifle-pits and rapidly advanced to the head of the pontoon-bridges, thereby cutting off the enemy's retreat. This affair was singularlybe formally presented at headquarters by General David A. Russell, escorted by one company of each of the regiments engaged, the column under the command of Colonel Emory Upton. It was an interesting occasion.

author, while generally accurate and graphic, omits any reference to that brigade of the Sixth Corps (Colonel Oliver Edwards's Fourth Brigade, Second Division) which was first engaged there, which was holding the key to the position when his own (Upton's) brigade came upon the field, and which fought longer than any other brigade of the Sixth Corps engaged. On that day the brigade had present for duty three small regiments, the 10th and 37th Massachusetts and the 2d, Rhode Island. When the Fim the intrenchments, and the enemy, crossing the works and taking position in a piece of woods, gave an enfilading fire on Edwards's right, so severe and well directed that it threw the 10th Massachusetts into confusion. It was at this time that Upton's brigade came upon the field and, in the words of that officer himself, encountered so severe a fire that it was unable to occupy the intrenchments, but resting its left on them, near Edwards's right, lay down and opened fire.

A gleam of victory had come when the selected column of the Sixth Corps, under Russell and Upton, carried the works near Spotsylvania on the 10th of May. Upton was promoted the next day by telegraph to be brigadier-general — an honor he had more than once deserved.--M. T. McM.

I Failure elsewhere and conflicting orders had led to the abandonment of the works and the guns, and about one thousand prisoners remained as the sole fruits of the success. On the 12th, at the Bloody Angle, Hancock had inspired the army with new hope, taking there also four thousand prisoners by a brilliant dash, but the slaughter that followed in holding the works all day had saddened his success. Gloom and discouragement had taken hold of the army also, because of the death three days before of Sedgwick, an officer who would have been worth to that a

ered from east Tennessee to south-western Missouri, much the greater part of the real work of reorganization had yet to be done. By special orders Kilpatrick's division of something over five thousand men, and a full complement of horses taken from other divisions and brigades, was detached from the corps and marched down to the sea with Sherman, while the nuclei of the six other divisions into which the corps was divided, commanded then or afterward by Generals E. M. McCook, Eli Long, Emory Upton, Edward Hatch, R. W. Johnson, and Joseph F. Knipe, in the order named, took part in the campaign against Hood and in the final overthrow of the rebellion. Meanwhile the work went on of collecting, remounting, and reequipping these troops and disposing them so as to cover the operations of the Federal infantry and to develop the plans and movements of Hood. On the 30th of October, 1864, Hood's army crossed the Tennessee on its northward march, three miles below Bainbridge, and this cir
