Texas, December 9, 1845. I wrote my last letter to you on the 1st inst. I am sorry to say I have been quite unwell in the meantime, havin Texas, January 20, 1846. Your letters of the 29th ultimo and 1st instant have come to hand since I last wrote you. I had been in perfect all to some five hundred and fifty men. We left our camp on the 1st instant, to march to the relief of this place, and to procure provisionsere in want of supplies, always having had an abundance. On the 1st instant, when we left our camp to go to Point Isabel, we had in camp tenattached to Major Munroe's Company, but on our going down on the 1st instant, he had the good fortune to be transferred to one of the marchinritory of Mexico, but again says that the Congress will meet on the first of this month, and will act as best suits the high interests of theon for this place. We dropped down to the bar of Tampico on the 1st instant, but did not get over it till the evening of the 2d. We had a p

one road to Germanna Ford and I on another to Ely's ford, of the Rapidan. These fords were reached and crossed by the evening of the 29th. On the 30th we advanced and concentrated at Chancellorsville, a small place on the plank road from Fredericksburg to Gordonsville, and distant some ten miles from Fredericksburg. In this movement we uncovered the United States ford and established communication with our left wing opposite Fredericksburg; thus far the movement was successful. On the 1st inst. two more corps were brought over to Chancellorsville, and the Fifth and Twelfth corps advanced from Chancellorsville towards Fredericksburg; but just as we reached the enemy we were recalled. On our retiring the enemy attacked Sykes's division of my corps and we had a smart fight till dark. The next day, May 2d, the enemy attacked in force, and after a day's hard fighting, owing to the bad behavior of a portion of our troops, the Eleventh Corps, we had to fall back and draw in our lines.

ion on my staff—the chief-of-staff, Major-General Butterfield. Now, indulging in the utmost charity towards General Butterfield, and believing that he is sincere in what he says, I want to explain how it is possible that such an extraordinary idea could have got into his head. I utterly deny, under the full solemnity and sanctity of my oath, and in the firm conviction that the day will come when the secrets of men shall be made known—I utterly deny ever having intended or thought, for one instant, to withdraw that army unless the military contingencies which the future should develop during the course of the day might render it a matter of necessity that the army should be withdrawn. I base this denial not only upon my own assertion and my own veracity, but I shall also show to the committee, from documentary evidence, the dispatches and orders issued by me at different periods during that day, that if I did intend any such operation, I was at the same time doing things totally i

. Pleasonton. To Gen. A. Doubleday. By way of rebuttal, Mr. Swinton parades the following declaration of Gen. Meade. A very slight examination will show that it refers to a different period of the battle: to the morning of the 2nd, and not to the evening. Gen. Meade says: I utterly deny, under the full solemnity and sanctity of my oath, and in the firm conviction that the day will come when the secrets of all men shall be made known — I utterly deny having intended or thought for one instant to withdraw that army, unless the military contingencies which the future should develope during the course of the day might render it a matter of necessity that the army should be withdrawn. The italics are mine. I will now give the reason for this emphatic declaration on the part of Gen. Meade. On the morning of the 2nd he directed his Chief of Staff, Gen. Butterfield, to study and mark out the lines of retreat. It was subsequently asserted that this was a positive order for the

General Meade says: I utterly deny, under the full solemnity and sanctity of my oath, and in the firm conviction that the day will come when the secrets of all men shall be made known — I utterly deny having intended or thought for one instant to withdraw that army, unless the military contingencies which the future should develop during the course of the day might render it a matter of necessity that the army should be withdrawn. The italics are mine. This purports to be a passr consideration is now republished on a sheet for special distribution. But is it correct? No. General Meade said: I utterly deny, under the full solemnity and sanctity of my oath, . . .
