Have you seen the article in the Herald, signed Staff Officer, Fifth Corps, For article mentioned, see Appendix K. and one in Monday's (yesterday's) paper signed by General Barnes? For article mentioned, see Appendix L. I think Historicus after awhile will be sick of his only true and authentic account of the battle. Headquarters army of the Potomac, March 24, 1864. I have been very busy to-day. The much-taestimony of all others. I suppose you have seen the last effusion of Historicus. There is no doubt now about the author, as he quotes a private letter from Birney, which could not have been written to any one but Sickles. The best joke is that Barnes, it is said, has a letter from Birney, denying that he ever made any statements of the kind quoted in his letter to Historicus. Is it not too bad that one's reputation should be in the hands of such men? Headquarters army of the Potomac, Apri

ey were met with a valor and stern fortitude that defied their utmost efforts. An alarming incident, however, occurred. Barnes' division, of the Fifth corps, suddenly gave way, and Sickles, seeing this, put a battery in position to check the enemy if he broke through this gap on our front, and General Birney was sent to order Barnes back into line. No, he said, impossible. It is too hot. My men cannot stand it. Remonstrance was unavailing, and Sickles despatched his aides to bring up any trll in with General Zook at the head of his brigade (Second corps), and this gallant officer instantly volunteered to take Barnes' place. When they reached the ground Barnes' disordered troops impeded the advance of the brigade. If you can't get out of the way, cried Zook, lie down and I will march over you. Barnes ordered his men to lie down, and the chivalric Zook and his splendid brigade, under the personal direction of General Birney, did march over them and right into the breach. Alas!

ted by General Sickles on the left of the Third corps. Second—General Sykes was never requested to relieve Ward's brigade and Smith's battery on Roundtop for the very good reason that neither that brigade nor that battery was on Roundtop; and what is undeniable, was held by Vincent's brigade, First division, Fifth Corps; Weed's brigade, Second division, Fifth corps, and Hazlett's battery of regular artillery. Each of these commanders lost his life in its defence. Third—two brigades of Barnes's division (First), Fifth corps, were posted on the edge of a wood, and in front of a portion of the Third corps (Ward's brigade) before any musketry firing began; so that the hour's conflict sustained by the Third corps before the Fifth Corps came up has no existence. Fourth—General Crawford's troops, Fifth corps, were thrown into action by order of the corps commander, not by any order of General Sickles, or by any solicitation of Captain Moore, of General Sickles's staff. Fifth—The

For article by A Staff Ofle of Gettysburg Historicus In reply to General Barnes and the staff officers of the Second and Fng one, has appeared in your columns signed James Barnes, Brigadier General, United States Volunteerd to make in my first letter. I narrated that Barnes' Division suddenly fell back and left a gap in Sickles remonstrated at his conduct, but that Barnes refused to return to his position. I further ordered to lie down for this purpose. As General Barnes denies all this roundly, under his own sigollowing from General Birney's letter:— He (Barnes) moved to the rear from three to four hundred Brigade, the first one brought to me, came up, Barnes' troops (being in the way) were, at my request Trobriand's left. A portion of the troops of Barnes were afterwards detached and fought splendidlyve. In final confirmation, I may add that General Barnes was relieved of his command after the batt[10 more...]
