General Palfrey in his Antietam and Fredericksburg quotes General D. H. Hill's report as saying: I had, however, twenty-six pieces of artillery of my own, and near sixty pieces of Cutt's battalion temporarily under my command. We have referred to General Hill's report (A. N. V. Reports, Vol. II, page 114) and fGeneral Hill's report (A. N. V. Reports, Vol. II, page 114) and find that General Palfrey has correctly quoted him. But it is, of course, one of the many typographical errors in the volumes of Reports printed by order of the Confederate Congress. No Confederate battalion of artillery had in it anywhere near sixty pieces. We find no report of Colonel Cutt's of Sharpsburg in these volumes, but in his report of seven days around Richmond he puts the number of guns in his battalion at fifteen, and he hardly had more at Sharpsburg. Who can give us definite i

ing was the battle, and so demoralized was the larger part of ours, that no assistance was received from it. Battle should have been latter. General Early writes so carefully and accurately, that we are particularly annoyed when mistakes creep into his articles, even when (as in this case) the fault is in the copyist. Captain Polk writes us in reference to his article on Chickamauga, published in our January-February number: On page 5, in the paragraph relating to the operations of Generals Hill and Hindman against Generals Negley and Baird in McLemore's Cove (September 11th, 1863), I am made to say, By daylight of the 11th September Cleburne had forced his way through the felled timber of Dug's Gap, and was ready to respond to Hindman's attack, but being uncertain of his position did not attack. * * * It should read, Cleburne had forced his way through the felled timber of Dug's Gap, and was ready to respond, but Hindman, uncertain of his position, did not attack.

Longstreet accomplished the end in view handsoeverely defeating Hooker's division, and inflicting some damage on Kearney's. D. H. Hill, on the Confederate left, did not manage so well, and in consequence Hancock of many hours in the march of Huger's division. Longstreet with his own and D. H.

Casey's Federal division was quickly routed and the whole of Keyes's Corps ll's division was to cross there, and he was to be followed by Longstreet and D. H. Hill by way of the Mechanicsville bridge as soon as it was open. Magruder and Hugd made attempts on each flank, which were, however, repulsed. Longstreet and D. H. Hill joined A. P.

Captain James A. Bryan, of Newberne, N. C., an educated gentleman and an efficient officer. He entered the service in 1861, with the rank of Second Lieutenant, Company G, Tenth regiment artillery, N. C. S. T., and was assigned to ordnance duty at Raleigh. He afterwards served at Newberne in the same capacity under Colonel John D. Whitford; was then appointed Second Lieutenant Artillery C. S. A., and served as ordnance officer, at the same place, on the staffs of Generals Gatlin, Holmes, D. H. Hill, and Branch. After the fall of Newberne he became ordnance officer of this brigade, and served in that capacity and aid-de-camp on General Branch's staff from Mechanicsville to Sharpsburg. Soon after the battles around Richmond he was promoted to First Lieutenant on the recommendation of General Branch. On my recommendation he was made Captain of Artillery. In his report of the battles around Richmond, General Branch says: My ordnance officer, Lieutenant James A. Bryan, though instru

30, 1862--8.40 P. M. Major-General Huger: General,--The reports of Major-General D. H. Hill give me the impression that the enemy is in considerable strength in h of your division on the Charles City road, and concentrate the troops of Major-General Hill on that to Williamsburg. To do this it will be necessary for you to move as early in the morning as possible to relieve the brigade of General Hill's division now on the Charles City road. I have desired General Hill to send you a guide.General Hill to send you a guide. The road is the second large one diverging to the right from the Williamsburg road; the first turns off near the toll-gate. On reaching your position on the Charlel be necessary for your progress to the front to conform at first to that of General Hill. If you find no strong body in your front, it will be well to aid General HGeneral Hill; but then a strong reserve should be retained to cover our right. Yours, truly, J. E. Johnston, General.

or pontoon bridges, and when these arrived the balloonists reported such an increase of the Confederate force behind the opposite hills, that a flank movement was preferred to a direct advance, and arrangements were made to cross at Skenker's Neck, twelve miles below Falmouth. Before these arrangements were complete, General Lee's attention had been drawn in that direction by the appearance of some gunboats below Port Royal, and Jackson's corps had been brought from Orange Courthouse, and D. H. Hill's and Early's division of that corps thrown in that neighborhood, and the balloonists seeing this, reported that the plan was discovered, and it was thereupon abandoned. General Burnside had hoped to postpone active operations until Spring, Swinton, Army of the Potomac, p. 233. but the temper of the Federal administration, and the northern people, would allow no such delay, so he decided to give up his flank movement, make a direct attack, and endeavor to surprise Lee before he could c

umber of Guns in Cutts's Battalion at Sharpsburg. In our April number we denied the accuracy of the statement of General D. H. Hill's report (as quoted by General Palfrey), that he had near sixty pieces of Cutts's Battalion of Artillery at Sharpsbe before and after the battle other guns were temporarily under his command, these were all he had during the battle. General Hill no doubt meant to say that he had sixteen (instead of sixty) pieces of Cutts's Artillery engaged at Sharpsburg; but th received orders to return to my camp one-half mile from Boonsboro on the Hagarstown road, and across the road from General D. H. Hill's headquarters — this I did, and received no orders to leave through neglect of General Hill's Staff Officer or ChiGeneral Hill's Staff Officer or Chief of Artillery. At about sun-rise next morning, I found that our army was gone, and did not know when they would make a stand for the next battle.

command, among which, Forward to guide centre, could be distinguished, and it was evident that lines of battle were being formed on the Federal left. During the night, the concentration of the Confederates had been completed by the arrival of D. H. Hill's and Early's divisions, the former from Port Royal, and the latter from Skenker's mill. On the evening of the 12th, General Burnside had ordered that the attack should be made in force by Franklin's grand division on the Confederate right at lose range every gun on the south side of the river, but their heavy rifles on the north bank were used with great accuracy in spite of the long range. One hundred and seventy casualties were caused by this artillery fire in a single division (D. H. Hill's), which was held in reserve and entirely concealed from the enemy's view. The Confederate position was so densely wooded throughout that the guns used had to be concentrated in a very few positions and the loss among them was consequently ve
