Winchester — the rear part retreating towards Strasburg. On Sunday, 25th, the other part was routed at Winchester. At last accounts, Brigadier-General George H. Stuart was pursuing them with cavalry and artillery, and capturing many. I quote from the General's own telegram, dated Winchester, May 26th. And now, notwithstanding our condition in Richmond, our hearts and voices are attuned to praise, and our paeans are more loud and bright in contrast to our late distressing trials. May 29th, 1862. No official accounts from Stonewall and his glorious army, but private accounts are most cheering. In the mean time, the hospitals in and around Richmond are being cleaned, aired, etc., preparatory to the anticipated battles. Oh, it is sickening to know that these preparations are necessary! Every man who is able has gone to his regiment. Country people are sending in all manner of things-shirts, drawers, socks, etc., hams, flour, fresh vegetables, fruits, preserves — for the sic

ted to my misconduct. My object in the following statement is to exhibit the true causes of those disasters. The combination of Federal military and naval forces which produced that result was made practicable by the military errors of the Confederate Government in 1862, and was made successful by its repetition of the gravest of those errors in 1863. The Confederate army that fought at Shiloh was reorganized by General Beauregard at Corinth, and occupied that position until the 29th of May, 1862, when that officer led it to Tupelo in consequence of the near approach of General Halleck's vastly superior forces. There, about the middle of June, General Beauregard was compelled by ill health to transfer his command to General Bragg. The discipline and instruction of those troops had been greatly improved at Corinth and Tupelo; so that they were in excellent condition for marches and for battles before the middle of July. They numbered 45,000. There were 22,000 other Confederat

Plait him a crown, of the flower that comes In the ashes that lie o'er buried homes I Let his sceptre be, the smoking brand Which his fiat sent throughout the land! Let his paeans be the bitter cries From millions of anguished hearts that rise, Both day and night to that listening ear, Which ever stoops their plaints to hear.

The bridge had been completed on the night of May 29, 1862, and Colonel Cross, of the Fifth New Hampshire, was the first man to ride over it. The heavy rains on the night of May 30th had so loosened the supports that when Sumner led his troops across on the afternoon of May 31st only the weight of the cautiously marching column kept the logs in place. Sumner named it the Grapevine Bridge because of its tortuous course. It enabled his troops to turn the tide at Fair Oaks and ward off Federal defeat on the first day. After they had crossed much o
