r camp. Every thing and every one seems changed, sad and dejected. I sadly miss my dear friend Captain John W. McNeely. He was my most intimate associate, and I love him as a brother. May he soon recover and return! May 7. Several letters received and written. May 8. Received and wrote more letters. Lieutenant J. W. Wright wrote me of his proposed return to duty. May 9. Went with Lieutenant Marbury to station. He has resigned and will go home and put in a substitute. General Longstreet came on cars from Richmond, and perhaps it augurs some important movement. The Yankee balloon again ascended from Stafford heights. The regiment was ordered on twenty-four hours picket duty. I am now acting quarter-master and in command of my company. I have repeatedly asked Colonel Pickens to relieve me from the former, but he has not yet consented to do so. My men urge my return to them. May 10. A beautiful Sabbath, recommended by General Lee as a day of thanksgiving and pray

mith was a native of Kentucky, and graduated from West Point in the class of 1842. I append the order of general merit at graduation of (subsequently) prominent members of that class, as a fitting introduction to this interesting narrative: 5. William S. Rosecrans; 8. Gustavus W. Smith; 9. Mansfield Lovell; 12. Alex. P. Stewart; 16. Martin L. Smith; 17. John Pope; 24. Abner Doubleday; 28. D. H. Hill; 40. R. H. Anderson; 41. Geo. W. Lay; 48. Lafayette McLaws; 52. Earl Van Dorn; 54. James Longstreet. He was assigned to the engineer corps and stationed at West Point as assistant professor of engineering until September 24, 1846, when he took the field in General Scott's column in Mexico and served until May 22, 1848; he was breveted for gallantry at Cerro Gordo and for gallant conduct at Contreras and Cherubusco; was promoted captain of engineers. After the Mexican war he served on the coast defences. He resigned December 15, 1854, and with General Quitman, was engaged in prepara

of the occasion seemed to be to us explained; certainly if we could have held these formidable heights, Hancock would not have had an easy task to drive us from them. Lee arrived at the junction with the head of Ewell's Corps at 9:30 A. M., on the 22nd, having marched all night, a distance of over thirty miles, from Spotsylvania Courthouse. The following is his report to the War Department in Richmond: Hanover Junction. I arrived here with the head of Ewell's Corps at 9:30 A. M. Longstreet is close behind. I expect A. P. Hill to-night. I have as yet seen nothing of the enemy east of the Mattapony. Thus it will be seen that on the morning of the 21st, Lee was at Spotsylvania Courthouse, thirty miles off, while Hancock was at Milford, only sixteen miles from the junction. Lee lost no time in reaching the junction to select his ground, and how well he shaped his line when his opponents came up is a matter of history. An important bearing. These facts will show that

the battle of Gettysburg, by the failure of Longstreet to move in time to the support of Pickett anvision, advancing at 6 A. M., was blocked by Longstreet's troops, and in spite of herculean efforts,held in reserve by General Johnston, in case Longstreet was in danger of being overpowered, and who truth of history is, that eight brigades of Longstreet's thirteen, had not even been engaged. Coders of the Civil War, Vol. II, p. 247. Longstreet says, in writing on June 7th: The faill was in full progress all along the lines. Longstreet's and A. P. Hill's men were attacking in theed through on the right, and led the way for Longstreet's Division, while on the left the roll of mu the Nine-Mile Road, obstructed by troops of Longstreet's Division.

ecord. Said a distinguished writer during the war, How unfortunate it is that so many fine engagements of the cavalry are lost sight of in the great battles of infantry and artillery that follow. He was doubtless referring to the very fight we have described, or to the brilliant engagement of Fitz Lee at Todd's Tavern, where that daring and gallant commander, with Wickham's and Lomax's brigades, held back Sheridan's cavalry and a portion of the Fifth Army Corps a day and a night, until Longstreet could reach the scene of action and place his seared ranks in front of Grant's heavy colums. Ten thousand stories unchronicled on the historic page are told by comfortable hearthstones, or wherever comrades meet; stories of hardship and ever recurring dangers, where they fell—not by scores and hundreds it may be—but by twos and tens; on the outposts, in advance guards, in surprises, by the camp-fires as they slept—or waking, died midst flame and smoke, or, yet, in the grand charge by f<
