bout Perryville 54,000 strong. In March, 1888, General D. C. Buell wrote to the editors: Adopting this estimate and adding Sill's Division, say 7000, which moved on the Frankfort road and did not join until after the battle (i. e., on the 11th), will make the entire army 61,000 before the battle and 57,000 after. The corps were of about equal strength. Gilbert told me recently that he estimated his corps at about 18,000 before the battle. About one-third of the whole were raw troops. Jackson's division was composed almost entirely of raw regiments.--editors. Perhaps not over one-half of these were actually engaged. General McCook, commanding the First Corps (which bore the brunt of the fight), says that Rousseau had present on the field 7000; Jackson, 5500; the brigade of Gooding [from Mitchell's division of Gilbert's corps] amounting to about 1500. The strength of Crittenden's (Second) and Gilbert's (Third) Corps is not any — where officially stated. Crittenden did not reac

l McCook, and his march began at 5 A. M. McCook had with him then two divisions, Rousseau's and Jackson's. Rousseau's division took the lead on the march, but when it arrived at Perryville only two oent — the remaining one, Starkweather's, having been thrown to the rear by the interposition of Jackson's division, which cut it off at Mackville. Without waiting for the arrival of this brigade, General McCook, after giving his assistant adjutant-general particular instructions to post Jackson's two brigades on a commanding piece of ground immediately to the right of the Mackville and Perryvilthe old Mackville pike.

hey silently passed me they seemed to stagger and reel like men who had been beating against a great storm. Forman had the colors in his hand, and he and several of his little group of men had their hands upon their chests and their lips apart as though they had difficulty in breathing. They filed into a field, and without thought of shot or shell they lay down on the ground apparently in a state of exhaustion. I joined a mounted group about a young officer, and heard Rumsey Wing, one of Jackson's volunteer aides, telling of that general's death and the scattering of the raw division he commanded. I remembered how I had gone up to Shiloh with Terrill's battery in a small steamer, and how, as the first streak of daylight came, Terrill, sitting on the deck near me, had recited a line about the beauty of the dawn, and had wondered how the day would close upon us all. I asked about Terrill, who now commanded a brigade, and was told that he had been carried to the rear to die. I though

At the same time I ordered Hood, in case Jackson'Jackson's line should be broken, to wheel around to his right and strike in on the attacking bodies, telling him that Pisions of Hooker's grand division, were in front of Jackson's 30,000. The flags of the Federals fluttered gayl splendid array it was. But off in the distance was Jackson's ragged infantry, and beyond was Stuart's battered. Franklin then advanced rapidly to the hill where Jackson's troops had been stationed, feeling the woods with through a gap between Archer and Lane. This broke Jackson's line and threatened very serious trouble. The Fe. P. Hill's and the latter of Hood's division; and, Jackson's second line advancing, the Federals were forced td not be promptly handled in offensive operations.

n of infantry could be seen halted on the other side of the river, along the road leading from the hills beyond to the pontoon-bridges in front of the town, and extending back for miles, as it looked to us, and still we could not see the end. In Jackson's front the enemy had advanced, and their forming lines were plainly visible, while in Longstreet's front we could see no body of troops on the Fredericksburg side of the river. The indications were that Jackson was to receive the first blow, aeatening us as appeared in the lines opposite General Jackson. General Longstreet agreed with me, and remained. Not long after, the grand division of General Franklin, in plain view from where we stood, was seen advancing in two lines against Jackson's front, marching in most magnificent order. No perceptible check could I observe in the advance, and the first line in good order entered the woods and was lost to our view. But the immediate crash of musketry and the thunder of artillery tol

teady and unwavering, these three lines advanced, preceded by a heavy skirmish line, till they neared the railroad, when Jackson's right and right center poured into these sturdy ranks a deadly volley from small-arms. Spaces, gaps, and wide chasms arms and artillery. Again the scene of destruction was repeated; still the Federals crossed the railroad, when a gap in Jackson's line between Archer's and Thomas's brigades was discovered by some of the assailants. [See map, p. 74.] This interval their lessening ranks, and in the utmost confusion they again sought the shelter of the railroad. Archer's brigade, of Jackson's corps, was on the extreme right of A. P. Hill's front line, composed of the following regiments, posted in the order narters. A very general impression prevails, and it is in a great measure confirmed by writers on Fredericksburg, that Jackson's lines were strongly fortified. This is not correct: we had no time to construct anything like fortifications. D. H.

he flower safety from the nettle danger, and plunging into the brimming stream swam over. The rest followed, Stoughton being next to me. The first thing he said as he shivered with cold was, This is the first rough treatment I have received. I knew that no cavalry would ever swim after me. Leaving Hunter to come on with my men and prisoners, I galloped on ahead with George Slater and once more got on the pike at Groveton. This was the very spot where, the year before, Fitz John Porter had made his disastrous assault on Jackson. From this hill I had a view of the pike seven miles back to Centreville. No enemy was in pursuit. I was safe. Just then Hunter appeared and the sun rose. It seemed to me that it never shone with such splendor before. I turned over my prisoners to Stuart at Culpeper Court House. He was as much delighted by what I had done as I was, and published a general order announcing it to the cavalry, in which he said that it was a feat unparalleled in the war.

d undertaken. It was about 5:30 in the evening when the head of Jackson's column found itself on the right and rear of the army, which on lines were assaulted by artillery and infantry. Just previous to Jackson's attack on the right a desperate effort was made by Lee's people to be used for that purpose. At the same time it was a menace to Jackson's right wing or flank. Before midnight some of the latter's entertion was restored at the point of the bayonet. The situation of Jackson's corps on the morning of May 3d was a desperate one, its front anch eventually saved this wing from utter annihilation.
