The attempt to take the hill was not made, however, that evening. On the 2d, about four o'clock, a heavy fire was opened upon the enemy's line from Andrew's battalion, under Major Latimer, on our extreme left, aided by Graham's battery (First Virginia artillery), and from Dance's, Watson's and Smith's batteries (First Virgantry to the enemy, and the defective character of some of the shell, the batteries were compelled to use solid shot. On the 4th the left was swung around on the ridge opposite the enemy's, and the guns placed in position, but no firing.

He says:-- Indeed, in entering on the campaign, General Lee expressly promised his corps-commanders that he would not assume a tactical offensive, but force his antagonist to a not all up either, but the Confederate commander was not minded to delay. My authority it again General Longstreet.--Foot-note, p. 358. These extracts will serve to throw much light on the causes of the extraordinary delay in the attack on the 2d, and show who was mainly responsible therefor. The statement that General Lee had promised his corps-commanders not to take the offensive, but force the enemy to attack him, is a very remarkable one; and it is very certain that neither General Ewe
