age driver. Nothing so pleased the private soldier as to see his officers willing to share his dangers; and among our Confederate soldiers especially, the officer who did not freely go himself wherever he ordered his men soon lost their confidence and respect. But General Lee was an exception to this rule. The soldiers could never bear to see him exposed to personal danger, and always earnestly remonstrated against it. On the morning of May 6th, 1864, in the Wilderness, as Heth's and Wilcox's divisions of A. P. Hill's corps were preparing to withdraw from the line of their gallant fight of the day before, to give place to Longstreet's corps, which was rapidly approaching, the enemy suddenly made upon them a furious attack with overwhelming numbers. These brave men were borne back by the advancing wave. General Lindsay Walker with his artillery (superbly served under the immediate eye of Lee and Hill) was gallantly beating back the enemy; but they were gathering for a new atta

emand. It was unfortunate that any of these troops should have become aware they were to be relieved by Longstreet. It is certain that owing to this impression, Wilcox's division, on the right, was not in condition to receive Hancock's attack at early dawn on the morning of the 6th, by which they were driven back in considerable confusion. In fact some of the brigades of Wilcox's division came back in disorder, but sullenly and without panic, entirely across the Plank road, where General Lee and the gallant Hill in person helped to rally them. The assertion, made by several writers, that Hill's troops were driven back a mile and a half, is a most seriothat the incident of Lee's charge with Gregg's Texas brigade occurred. The Texans cheered lustily as their line of battle, coming up in splendid style, passed by Wilcox's disordered columns, and swept across our artillery pit and its adjacent breast-work. Much moved by the greeting of these brave men and their magnificent behavi

About noon, I was informed by Major-General Anderson that an attack upon the enemy's lines would soon be made by the whole division, commencing on our right, by Wilcox's brigade, and that each brigade of the division would begin the attack as soon as the brigade on its right commenced the movement. I was instructed to move simu move forward upon my advance. This being the order of battle, I awaited the signal for the general advance, which, at about 5 P. M., was given by the advance of Wilcox's and Perry's brigades on my right. I immediately ordered forward my brigade, and attacked the enemy in his strong position on a range of hills running south froe day before, and had been forced to retire. Soon after I was ordered by General Lee to. move my brigade to the right, several hundred yards, and form in rear of Wilcox's brigade, to support the latter in case the enemy should advance upon it, which was now threatened. In this position I remained until after nightfall, when I re

General Lee then ordered me to report to Major-General Wilcox, near the Newman house on the Boydton plank oad. I moved my command at quick time and found Gen'l Wilcox on the plank road, not far from the Newman housein the direction of the South-side railroad.

Gettysburg. Report of Pender's division. by Major Joseph A. Englehard, A. A. G. [As General Pender was killed, and General Trimble, who succeeded to the command, very badly wounded, the report of the division was, by order of General Lee, made by Major Englehard. It should, of course, have a place in our Gettysburg series, now nearly complete, as an important link in the chain, from which is to be wrought the true story of Gettysburg. ] headquarters Wilcox's Light division, November 4, 1863. Major,--The Light Division of Major-General W. D. Pender, consisting of the brigades of Brigadier-Generals J. H. Line, E. L. Thomas, A. M. Scales and S. McGowan (the latter commanded by Colonel A.
