rts. Returning to the road, and crossing the creek, it will be found that in nine hundred yards beyond it an ascent has been made, and a plateau four hundred yards in depth crossed. Just beyond the plateau there was on our left, on the 9th of August, 1862, a cornfield, and on our right a growth of timber, which, touching the road at a point, widened out as it extended back, until in front of my position it was from four to six hundred yards in depth. Beyond this timber there was a stubble-f called his attention to it; and I do not yet understand how General Banks could have been so greatly mistaken as to the forces under his immediate command. General Banks in 1864 testified under oath that he had but about 6,000 men on the 9th of August, 1862; and before he concluded his testimony he put his force at 5,000, and that of the enemy at 25,000. Testimony of Banks before the Committee on the Conduct of the War, December 14, 1864, vol. III. p. 44. My own brigade comprised less th

illed or disabled; until, indeed, the general advance of their brigade. Before five o'clock Banks had determined on a new aggressive movement. This was to attack the enemy with two regiments, one from the left and another from the right of his line of battle. It was a remarkable movement. We have the official correspondence from Banks to Pope, announcing what had been done and what was to follow. I have ordered a regiment from the right (said Banks in his despatch) to advance. August 9, 1862, 4.50 P. M. To Colonel Ruggles, Chief-of-Staff. About four o'clock shots were exchanged with the skirmishers. Artillery opened fire on both sides in a few moments. One regiment of Rebel infantry advancing, now deployed as skirmishers. I have ordered a regiment from the right (Williams's division) and one from the left (Augur's) to advance on the left and in front. 5 P. M. They are now approaching each other.

rders delivered by Colonel L. H. Marshall to General Banks on the morning of the day of the battle of Cedar Mountain, as follows :-- Culpeper, 9.45 A. M., Aug. 9, 1862. From Colonel Lewis Marshall. General Banks to remove to the front immediately, assume command of all forces in the front, deploy his skirmishers if the enef and one or two of his staffofficers, to be taken before your committee in relation to verbal orders which he says he received early in the morning of the 9th of August, 1862, before his corps had ever gone to the front. He seems to have interpreted this alleged order in the light of afterthought, without alluding to other orderor not. Did he send them? I challenge him to name a person, other than General Williams's aid, who brought me an order to move to Crawford's support on the 9th of August, 1862. It cannot be done; it never has been done. And the accusation of not moving when ordered, finally substituted for not moving quickly as first reported, m
