three roads that can be counted on. These are the turnpike, the plank road south of it, and the plank road that runs from Germanna Ford. There are many narrow roads, winding and little known, that in good weather may serve for the slow passage of columns (though they are mere farmers' or woodcutters' thoroughfares); but a day's rain will render them impassable for waggons and artillery. This whole region (which includes the field of Chancellorsville, a little to the east) is known as the Wilderness. Over much of it there is no chance to deploy troops, scarcely skirmishers, and no place for artillery. . . . Somewhere about 10.30 we got to the turnpike and halted, say a mile before Robertson's Tavern; where the 2d Corps had arrived and found the enemy in front; about eleven they had heavy skirmishing and drove the enemy back, getting also a few prisoners. They then formed line of battle and waited news from French on the right, and Sykes on the left, coming on the plank road. The

pressing on with fifteen thousand men. After passing the Wise Legion he ordered Gen. Wise on the following day to prepare to cover his rear and to follow him to Meadow Bluff, having information that the enemy was advancing one column by the Wilderness road. It was impossible for Gen. Wise to comply with both orders, even had they been positive, and in fact one was not executed at all. It was only by maintaining its position at all hazards, that the Legion could protect the rear of the Floydrom Camp Gauley and the following retreat. The Wise Legion, willing enough to fight, would have been equally demoralized by retreating any further. Meadow Bluff affords no position. No real demonstration had yet or has since been made on the Wilderness road, nor did there exist any reason why there should be, since the enemy could more conveniently, if in force sufficient, strike the turnpike further eastward, as for instance at the Little Sewell. If the Wise Legion had retreated and been

t, Cartersville, and the Etowah Bridge; Thomas holding his ground near Cassville, and MicPherson that near Kingston. The officer intrusted with the repair of the railroads was Colonel W. W. Wright, a railroad-engineer, who, with about two thousand men, was so industrious and skillful that the bridge at Resaca was rebuilt in three days, and cars loaded with stores came forward to Kingston on the 24th. The telegraph also brought us the news of the bloody and desperate battles of the Wilderness, in Virginia, and that Generel Grant was pushing his operations against Lee with terrific energy. I was therefore resolved to give my enemy no rest. In early days (1844), when a lieutenant of the Third Artillery, I had been sent from Charleston, South Carolina, to Marietta, Georgia, to assist Inspector-General Churchill to take testimony concerning certain losses of horses and accoutrements by the Georgia Volunteers during the Florida War; and after completing the work at Marietta we transfe

Run — indeed, it may be said to extend from Hamilton's Crossing, five miles below Fredericksburgh, where the artillery duelling between our batteries and those of the enemy first occurred — up to Fredericksburgh, and from the town up as far as Wilderness, fifteen miles above. The country above where the main fighting took place, has been aptly described by General Lee as a tangled wilderness, and yet this section of densely wooded land, covered with the closest undergrowth ever seen, has been ope that Jackson's wishes in regard to his successor shall be respected, if, indeed, it be true that he expressed a preference. To make a recapitulation of the following events, we would say there were the following battles and participants: Wilderness, fifteen miles above Fredericksburgh, where Jackson succeeded in turning the enemy's flank. This may be called, for a proper understanding of the matter, the battle of the Wilderness. It was here that Jackson turned the enemy's flank on Satur
