ry of War: Mr. Tucker's telegram relating to the vessels was received after Franklin's division had embarked and on the way to West Point. Another division goes im without further instructions. The gunboats have gone up the York river, and Franklin's, and perhaps one other division, will follow up to-day. As soon as the bridare rested and fresh. Sykes's and my other brigades are in camp, also Blake. Franklin, I think, got off. I hope you have got order out of chaos. Capt. Norton says s light. Porter will complete his embarkation as rapidly as possible and join Franklin. The artillery of the divisions Franklin, Sedgwick, and Porter will proceed by water with the least possible delay to join their divisions, also Franklin's cavalry and as many wagons as possible. Hunt's heavy batteries will move to Brick Houst special orders from me: this is imperative. How soon can the artillery of Franklin, Sedgwick, and Porter be embarked? How soon Franklin's cavalry? How soon wil
. It is the most infamous thing that history has recorded. I have made such representations as will probably induce a revocation of the order, or at least save Franklin to me. The idea of depriving a general of 35,000 troops when actually under fire! To-morrow night I can tell you exactly what I intend doing. We have no bagg and faithful. Many of my aides are excellent. No general ever labored under greater disadvantages, but I will carry it through in spite of everything. I hope Franklin will be here to-morrow or next day. I will then invest Gloucester and attack it at the same time I do York. When the Galena arrives I will cause it to pass the th Sweitzer acknowledged that their loss was very severe and the bearing of our men admirable. I received to-day a letter from Burnside, which I enclose. . . Franklin arrived yesterday and spent the night in my tent. He is at Ship Point to-night; I expect his division to-morrow. .. . Don't be at all discouraged; all is going
to Williamsburg. The next, and by far the most important, step was to throw Franklin's division, supported promptly and strongly, as rapidly as possible up the Yorktown so deficient that it was very difficult to bring order out of chaos, and Franklin's division did not reach its destination until the 6th of May. On the mornidson, and Sykeswere held in readiness to support either Keyes, Heintzelman, or Franklin, as might prove most advantageous. Stoneman was thus ordered not only to purshe gunboats started up the York river to ascertain whether the transports with Franklin's division could safely ascend, and to capture any of the enemy's transports ttly required. Sedgwick's division was then held ready to embark in support of Franklin. But I ordered him to move beyond Yorktown a short distance, ready to move toorktown and, together with Porter, embark as rapidly as possible in support of Franklin. Early on the morning of the 6th it was found that the enemy had abandoned
tated that Franklin's division was disembarked on the 3d of May to take part in the approaching assault of Yorktown. Gen. Franklin passed the night of the 3d at general headquarters, his division remaining at Cheeseman's landing. As soon as the evry means for loading and unloading were fully occupied with putting supplies ashore for the rest of the army, so that Gen. Franklin was obliged to improvise his own means; that forage and provision for several days had to be reloaded; but most of allery, all the carriages of which had to be unlimbered and floated out on rafts and then hoisted upon the transports. Gen. Franklin's letter explains this subject in detail, and I need only say that the delay was unavoidable and that Gen. Franklin dGen. Franklin did not lose an unnecessary moment in carrying his order into effect: Hartford, Feb. 8, 1884. Gen. G. B. McClellan, New York: my dear general: It so happens that I have just had a correspondence with Howard about the West Point landing in Ma
gton. The 6th corps, under the command of Gen. Franklin, moved to Buckeystown via Darnestown, Dawshis little army was in reality relieved by Gens. Franklin's and Sumner's corps at Crampton's Gap, wi Miles. On the previous day I had sent Gen. Franklin the following instructions: headquarrge B. McClellan, Maj.-Gen. Commanding. Maj.-Gen. Franklin. Gen. Franklin pushed his corps rapihis brilliant action. It was conducted by Gen. Franklin in all its details. These details are givt officers and men engaged. The loss in Gen. Franklin's corps was 115 killed, 416 wounded, and 2any effect. The close of the action found Gen. Franklin's advance in Pleasant Valley on the night he 14th the following despatch was sent to Gen. Franklin: Bolivar, Sept. 15, 1 A. M. general:ellan. Geo. D. Ruggles, Col. and A. B. C. Gen. Franklin. On the 15th the following were receivthe cessation of the firing indicated, and Gen.

R. E. Lee. R. H. Chilton, Assist. Adj.-Gen, Maj.-Gen. D. H. Hill, Commanding Division. On the morning of the 13th Gen. Pleasonton was ordered to send Reynolds's brigade and a section of artillery in the direction of Gettysburg, and Rush's regiment towards Jefferson to communicate with Franklin, to whom the 6th U. S. Cavalry and a section of artillery had previously been sent, and to proceed with the remainder of his force in the direction of Middletown in pursuit of the enemy. After skirmishing with the enemy all the morning, and driving them from several strong positions, he reached Turner's Gap of the South Mountain in the afternoon, and found the enemy in force and apparently determined to defend the pass. He sent back for infantry to Gen. Burnside, who had been directed t

Franklin to move into Pleasant Valley, occupy Rohreonsborough to Rohrersville, were to reinforce Franklin or to move on Sharpsburg, according to circumstances. Franklin moved towards Brownsville and found there a force of the enemy, much superior ifor a time until more detailed news came from Franklin. About eight o'clock he begged me to let himd Lieut.
