squadron of cavalry, and 4 batteries of horse-artillery, followed, on the Yorktown road to Williamsburg, by Hooker's and Kearny's divisions, and on the Winn's Mill road by those of W. F. Smith, Couch, and Casey. Gen. McClellan remained at Yorktown doubtless mistaken. Gen. Heintzelman and staff, but no troops, had arrived early in the afternoon. At 4:30 P. M., Gen. Kearny arrived, with his division, and pressed to the front; allowing Hooker's thinned regiments to withdraw from the fight and be held as a reserve. Kearny, under Gen. Heintzelman's orders, at once deployed Berry's brigade to the left of the Williamsburg road, and Birney's to the right, leading forward two companies of the 2d Michigan to beat back the enemy's skirmishersine, and our regiments began to gain ground. Finding that the heavy timber in his front defied all direct approach, Gen. Kearny ordered Col. Hobart Ward, with the 38th New York, to charge down the road and take the rifle-pits on the center of the

tood in greater need than did ours. McDowell, Kearny, and Reno reached, during the night, the positmultaneously from Greenwich upon Manassas, and Kearny upon Bristow. Kearny reached Bristow at 8 A. Kearny reached Bristow at 8 A. M., August 28. with Reno on his left, and was immediately pushed forward, followed by Hooker, on street's advance. Pope reached Manassas, with Kearny's division and Reno's corps, about noon; Jacksold their ground at all hazards, and directing Kearny to push forward at 1 A. M. August 29. from Reynolds; while Heintzelman, with Hooker's and Kearny's divisions, was to push forward from CenterviDowell and Sigel, at Gainesville, and Reno and Kearny, at Greenwich, as held that night, are also shet, our army was for once superior in numbers; Kearny's and Hooker's fresh regiments pressing forwarost effectively as a breast-work.

ey could do nothing but charge, and fall, and die. And when night at length mercifully arrested this fruitless massacre, though the terraces and slopes leading up to the Rebel works were piled with our dead and our disabled, there was no pretense that the Rebel front had been advanced one foot from the ground held by it in the morning. We had reason enough for sorrow, but none for shame. Franklin, on our left, beside his own 40,000 men, was reenforced, the night before, by two divisions (Kearny's and Hooker's own) from Hooker, raising his command nearly to 55,000. At least half our entire force across the river was thus with Franklin on the left, where the main attack manifestly should have been made, and where Burnside appears to have purposed that it should have been made. But it was after 7 A. M. of the fatal day when Franklin received his orders; which, if they were intended to direct a determined attack in full force, were certainly very blindly and vaguely worded,
