Appendix to Vol. III.

Detailed statements of the situations, to facilitate a proper understanding of Vol. III.

The battle of Chancellorsville.

for the first time we are enabled to give herewith complete and official details of the situations, together with statements of the effective forces of both armies, for which we are indebted to the courtesy of the Secretary of War, and especially to General Townsend. In these details will be found the designation not only of brigades, but also of each regiment. As the mention in full of the States to which these regiments belonged would occupy considerable space, we have adopted the official abbreviations, the key to which we append here:

Alabama,Ala.
Arkansas,Ark.
California,Cal.
North Carolina,N. C.
South Carolina,S. C.
Connecticut,Conn.
Delaware,Del.
Florida,Fla.
Georgia,Ga.
Illinois,Ill.
Indiana,Ind.
Iowa,Ia.
Kansas,Kan.
Kentucky,Ky.
Louisiana,La.
Maine,Me.
Maryland,Md.
Massachusetts,Mass.
Michigan,Mich.
Minnesota,Minn.
Mississippi,Miss.
Missouri,Mo.
New Hampshire,N. H.
New Jersey,N. J.
New York,N. Y.
Ohio,O.
Pennsylvania,Pa.
Rhode Island,R. I.
Tennessee,Tenn.
Texas,Tex.
Vermont,Vt.
Virginia,Va.
Wisconsin,Wis.

U. S., abbreviation for United States, designates those bodies of trooops that were raised directly by the Federal government.

The statements of effective forces are a summary of those furnished monthly by the general staff to the Departments at Washington and Richmond, which contain thousands of figures. It will be seen from [830] this what was the condition of the two armies. Fortunately, both parties continued to employ the forms adopted in the old army of the United States, which render comparisons easy.

The special duty comprises posts and detachments of every description, most of the men being able to join the ranks again on the day of battle. The reader will observe, by comparing the two statements, an increase in the number of absentees without authority after a great battle, such absentees being nearly all within the lines, and not in the [838] hands of the enemy. The increase of men absent sick is owing to the admission into the hospitals of those who had been wounded at Chancellors-ville. The diminution in the total effective force is due somewhat to the number of killed, but especially to the disbanding of regiments whose term of service had expired.

Effective force of the army of Northern Virginia before the battle.

We have not been able to procure an account of the effective force of this army up to a date as near the battle as for the Army of the Potomac: we subjoin that of March 31, 1863, whose figures do not differ materially from those of the following month:

The statements subsequent to the battle having been prepared after Longstreet's return with the largest portion of his corps, all comparison with the above is out of the question: one of these statements will be found in the latter part of this volume, on the occasion of the battle of Gettysburg.

This list having been prepared, not from official sources, but simply from information collected here and there from various reports, is very incomplete, and contains perhaps some inaccuracies. We have found it impossible to correct it and supply the documents that are wanting.


Detailed statement of the forces.

the following statement of the forces of the two armies, although made from returns having the difference of one month's date between them, may be useful for comparing the various elements of these armies and their respective forces. It will be noticed, for instance, that the disabled men play by far a greater part in the Confederate than in the Federal army. In fact, the total number of soldiers and officers on the sick-list, either in field or general hospitals, under arrest, absent with leave, or deserters, amounts for the Confederates to 45,423; that is, more than three-ninths of an aggregate force of 133,680 men; for the Federals to 26,704, or two-ninths of an aggregate force of 167,251 men.

The total number sick, absent with leave, and in arrest is greater in the Southern than in the Northern army. [843]

Here is now the detailed statement of the forces of the two armies at the dates above stated. It will be remarked that between this date and that of the 30th of June, to which relates the statement of the composition of the Army of Northern Virginia by regiments, that army has been greatly altered. But in this organization, of which we have spoken elsewhere, there has been but little modification in the whole of its effective force; the aim has been to divide the army into three corps instead of two. A new brigade has been formed for General Davis of the Second and Eleventh Mississippi, which were long separated from the army, and of two new regiments, the Forty-second Mississippi and the Fifty-fifth North Carolina; Pettigrew's strong brigade, recently arrived from North Carolina, and Archer's and Pender's brigades, borrowed from Hill, have been added to it to form a division commanded by General Heth; Hill's division has been placed under General Pender; and Anderson's, taken from Longstreet, with the two preceding ones forms the Third corps, commanded by Hill. The First and Second corps have thus found themselves reduced to three divisions each. Longstreet has kept the first, and Ewell the second. From the 31st of May to the 1st of July the army has gained—1st, Pettigrew's brigade; 2d, Jenkins' and Imboden's; it has lost—1st, Corse's brigade and a regiment of Pettigrew's, left at Hanover Junction; 2d, three regiments of Early's division, left at Winchester.
