Buckeyestown. Colonel Donelly has two pieces of artillery, which he is directed to send to you if required. Call on Colonel Geary to send you two by express train. Can the enemy ford the river? I suggest you send your baggage to the rear; dayligo come around by Maryland Heights, and therefore plainly implied that he would not come. I also sent a despatch to Colonel Geary, at Point of Rocks, informing him of the reported movement of the enemy; and that, from the entry of a heavy force ofa chance I would pitch into the enemy; that Kenly, at Williamsport, was ordered to watch the fords at Harper's Ferry, and Geary at Monocacy, and advising, if I should go into Harper's Ferry, that I should destroy the mill-stones. And there was a telegram from Colonel Geary, at Point of Rocks, that he was directed not to permit cars to pass that point (which he had christened Camp Korpony), should the enemy cross, or attempt so to do, above him; followed shortly after by another despatch from

erly commanded by General Charles P. Stone, at Poolsville, and consisted of three brigades, commanded by Generals Gorman, Burns, and Dana. Only the first two were with us, and these were commanded by General Sedgwick, to whom, after Stone's removal and incarceration, the division was assigned. We had also a force of some six thousand men commanded by General Shields, formerly Lander's force, which was ordered to report to Banks. Then there were about fourteen hundred nen, commanded by Colonel Geary, not serving with any brigade. This made up the whole of Banks's command. Banks's command, including railroad guards, etc., numbered 38,484, -made up of Banks's division, 15,398; Lander's (Shields's) division, 11,869; Sedgwick's division, 11,217. Without guards, etc., its effective strength was 30,000. See McClellan's Morning Report, March 2, 1862, Rebellion Record, vol. i. p. 546, supplement. Gorman's brigade of Sedgwick's division had been guarding the Potomac from Great Falls

executed as ordered. It was two o'clock on the afternoon of the 8th when our corps received its orders. Tents, all we had, were struck, and we were ready; but Geary's brigade was before us, and making such slow progress that we were delayed in a burning sun three hours before we got off, and then it was not much better,--a fewh Pennsylvania, Roemer's battery of six 3-inch rifled guns, two sections of Knapp's battery of 10-pounder Parrotts, and Muhleuberg's battery. In Augur's division, Geary's brigade, with its right resting on the left of the road, was made up of the 5tl, 7th, 29th, and 66th Ohio Volunteers, and Knapp's battery,--total enlisted men, 1,000. This aggregate is very nearly correct, and may be confirmed from official reports of General Augur, who gives as the total of enlisted men in his division,--Geary's brigade, 1,121 ; Prince's, 1,435; and Greene's, 457: of General Crawford, who reports as present in the engagement,--officers, 88; enlisted men, 1,679: and of Ge

Simultaneously with Crawford's advance, Geary in centre and Prince on left moved against the enemy with vn historian, and hurled back all efforts made against him.

Then, while the left of Taliaferro's brigade gave way, Geary's blows upon its right and upon the left of Early began to rom whence our guns had not been moved during the day. Then Geary's skirmishers came into view, following up those of the enehis regiment went forward through the woods and saw part of Geary's brigade of Ohio troops in the road advancing by flank.

der an impression that he could carry the field? Had he not in entire ignorance of the numbers in his front precipitated Geary's and Crawford's brigades, and six companies of my Third Wisconsin Regiment, against two whole brigades in position, and and in front of Early's brigade. At this time General Prince, in ignorance of what had transpired, was riding to where Geary had been, to find out what had become of Banks's corps. In this laudable pursuit his bridle was suddenly seized, and him to surrender. He was captured when surrounded by the enemy, who were silently moving over the ground lately occupied by Geary and enveloping his own troops, whom he could not warn of their danger, though his officers soon discovered it and fell baur line, but found that we were in full retreat. The battle was over. On our left, General Prince was a prisoner, Generals Geary and Augur wounded; but one general officer was left of those who formed that part of our line of battle. In the cent

And again, Williams, Geary, Augur, Carroll, Gordon, Crawford, and Greene behaved with distinguished gallantry. It may be asked why, after the severe language we have quoted from Pope, upon Banks's disobedience of his orders, there should have been so much mildness about it in Pope's first despatches to Halleck and in the former's official report upon this subject. Pope has answered the question in his letter to the committee, saying, I endeavored in my official report to avoid the censure justly chargeable upon Ba
