d men opposed to Butler's six thousand five hundred.
According to Whiting, on December 18th, there were 667 men in the garrison, and 800 reserves at Sugar Loaf; and on the 23rd, 410 reinforcements were thrown into the fort, of whom 250 were reserves.
This makes 1,077 inside, and 550 at Sugar Loaf.
On the 25th, Bragg reported Kirkland's brigade and 400 of Hagood's men arrived.
Hoke's effective strength was returned, December 20th, as 5,893.
He had four brigades.
My calculation is:
Garrison1,077
Reserves at Sugar Loaf550
Kirkland1,473
Hagood (Lee's dispatch)400
——
3,500 The garrison, it is true, were in a work of decided strength; but Butler had the most formidable fleet that was ever assembled to cover and protect his movements.
Doubtless, if he had not at once assaulted and captured the work, the whole of Hoke's division, and perhaps a thousand militia or reserves, altogether seven thousand men, would have been assembled on the peninsula under Bragg.
But this was t
etected a reserved dignity in old Dr. Baugher.
It was very natural for him to be so, and I appreciated it. The old Doctor, while kindhearted, was of a very positive and radical character, which he evinced on all subjects.
He was thoroughly conscientious, and was of the stuff of which martyrs are made.
He was thoroughly orthodox in his Lutheran faith; and in politics, without ever hearing a word from him, I venture to say he was in sympathy with, I will not say, Thaddeus Stevens, but with Garrison and Phillips.
My knowledge of him left me no need to be told that his views and feelings involved in the war were intense.
And there he was, breaking bread with a red handed rebel in his gray uniform, giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
Was he not put to it to keep mastery of himself?
Happy for man that he is double sighted; that there is within him a quality allied to conscience,—call it charity—that enables him to choose on which side to look.
The venerable Doctor saw before him
