Battle of Gettysburg--report of General Junius Daniel. headquarters Daniel's brigade, August 20th, 1863. Major G. Peyton, Assistant Adjutant-General: Major — In compliance with orders received from division headquarters, I have the honor to submit the following report of the operations of my brigade from June 4th, 1863, the time the division left Grace church, to July 20th, when, in consequence of sickness, I turned over the command to Colonel Brabble. The brigade, consisting of the Thirty-second, Forty-third, Forty-fifth, Fifty-third regiments and Second battalion North Carolina troops, in all about twenty-two hundred men, left Grace church with the division on the 4th of June, 1863, and marched in the direction of Culpeper Courthouse, which place we reached on the 7th without encountering the enemy, and encamped three miles beyond the town. On the morning of the 9th firing was heard in the direction of Brandy station, and I received orders to proceed in that directi

six regiments, constituting Lawton's brigade, five and a half constituting Stafford's brigade, and the Forty-seventh and Forty-eighth Alabama regiments added to Taliaferro's brigade. He had lost by transfer one regiment (Sixteenth Mississippi) from Trimble's brigade Hence, he had gained twelve and a half regiments in addition to those that had fought in the Valley. Lawton's regiments were comparatively strong. Stafford's were not; but if we put them at the average of Hill's regiments on July 20th, or about 350, we shall certainly be over rather than under the mark. Hence Jackson had, exclusive of Hill, possibly 12,000 infantry and artillery. Robertson's cavalry, after its hard service, could hardly have exceeded 1,000 or 1,200 men. Thus the Confederate force under Jackson on August 9 was-- Hill's division10,623 Winder's and Ewell's division's12,000 Cavalry1,200    23,823 Nearly 24,000 men.

The return of these troops for July 20th exists in the Archive Office at Washington, and is the nearest one extant to the date of the battle. But in additionduty. General Sorrel puts them at 4,500 when they marched forward from Gordonsville towards Manassas. The return of July 20th gives, according to Colonel Taylor-- Longstreet's division, present for duty, officers and men8,486 D. R. Jones' di, Fourth, Fifth and Ninth Virginia cavalry, accompanied the army on the Manassas campaign. The total of Stuart's force July 20th was 4,035, of which Colonel Taylor estimates that Fitzhugh Lee had 2,500. This estimate is no doubt nearly correct. 500 in August, had over 6,000 after the battles around Richmond, and Generals Porter and Heintzelman had over 30,000 on July 20th, before they left the Peninsula, and though they dwindled to 18,000 in General Pope's estimate, Porter alone had 20,000

That on the 20th July there was delay occasioned by Hardee's shift referring to the contemplated attack on the 20th July, says in his report: Owing to the demonstratue and correct history of the operations of 20th of July, and while charging General Hardee with a feastworks they were about to assault on the 20th of July, and of now needlessly hurling the same trocall for Cleburne's division as early as the 20th July, and our forces had been resisting him all ad orders or otherwise failed of his duty on the 20th or 22d of July, and to show also on whose strons being about two weeks after the engagement of 20th and 22d July, Major-General Cleburne called at ranspire between Hardee and Cleburne on the 20th of July, as Cleburne's division was about to move fnd on duty with him during the operations of 20th July.

r fathers, following Green through the Carolinas or Washington through the Jerseys, so that they wrung from their adversary the confession that, It was a dark day for the Federal arms when they confronted the Confederates on the Chattahoochee. And when the leader changed, and the plan changed, when retreat gave way to advance, and defence to attack, the same soldierly qualities shone even more conspicuously. Take that series of fragmentary and unsuccessful attacks from Peach Tree creek, July 20, passing in swift succession, to Franklin, November 30. Evacuating Atlanta, halting awhile on the Chattahoochee, winding among the hills of Alabama, crossing the Tennessee at Florence, flanking Columbia (a labor lost by the strange apathy at Spring Hill), struggling up that deadly slope at Franklin against that stream of leaden fire — Franklin, where the eagleeyed, keen-sighted Forest was misled — for he said, at the head of our line: Boys, they haven't any works worth naming; you'll go ov
