ution of the war with all the means in our power. To Mrs. George G. Meade: camp near Falmouth, Va., March 17, 1863. I returned to-day from Washington. I went up day before yesterday, the 15th, arriving in Washington about 7 P. M. I went to Willard's, where, as usual, I saw a great many people. Finding Burnside was in the house, I sent up my name and was ushered into his room, where I found himself and Mrs. Burnside, the latter a very quiet, lady-like and exceedingly nice personage, quitenal favor to have the thing stopped.

after the wounding of Sickles instructs him to assume command of that corps. Hancock orders up Willard's brigade, of Hays's division, and, personally leading it out beyond McGilvery's guns, places it in position. Willard almost immediately comes into action with Barksdale, whom nothing heretofore has seemed able to stop, but who is finally brought to a stand. A fierce combat at close quarters ensues; Willard and many of his men are killed, but the further advance of the enemy on this part of the field is stayed. Barksdale also has fallen at the head of his brigade. The Twenty-first eutenant Peeples of the battery placed himself at the head of the Thirty-ninth New York, one of Willard's regiments which had been left in reserve, charged and recovered it. Slocum, in obedience ten abandoned for want of sufficient force to carry them off the field. Hancock, after seeing Willard well engaged, rides farther to the right, when he suddenly perceives a force of the enemy makin

ad directed, he detaches two regiments from Hays' division for the purpose of supporting Humphreys, and, taking with him Willard's brigade of the same division, pushes it more to the left, to the very centre of the open space it is sought to fill. e the right as their guide, they soon find themselves separated from Barksdale, whose objective point is the breach that Willard is endeavoring to close. These three brigades no longer march at the same pace. At the moment when they pass beyond thd: Hancock encounters it, and hurls against it the First Minnesota, which stops its progress, but at a great sacrifice. Willard, whose two wings are equally deprived of all support, sees his brigade decimated; he soon falls dead among the corpses t, to the weak point at the depression in the ridge connecting the Round Tops with Cemetery Hill. He covers the right of Willard's brigade, and gathers around him the batteries and scattered troops that cannot maintain themselves without assistance,
