hty miles-one day and parts of two others being occupied In the operations around Winchester. Longstreet's corps left Culpeper Courthouse on the 15th, and Hill's left the heights of Fredericksburg on the same day, and, as they crossed the Potomac on the 25th, after Longstreet's corps had done some extra marching to support Stuart's cavalry, it follows that both corps did much severer marching befover ten per cent., and hence, as the marching they had done was not as severe as that done by Longstreet's and Hill's corps before they crossed the Potomac, I have assumed ten per cent. as the ratio fantry-during the same period. To show the likelihood of there being at least as much loss in Longstreet's and Hill's corps as in Ewell's, I quote from General Kershaw's report the following statemenom the heights of Fredericksburg on the 15th, I believe, and his march had to be rapid to join Longstreet's corps, and hence the probability is that the loss in his corps exceeded the ratio in my divi

May the command on whose behalf you receive this flag never have occasion to bear it save in holiday processions, and may they prove as loyal in preserving South Carolina's honor through the peaceful agencies inaugurated by your administration, as their predecessors were faithful in defending it at the cannon's mouth.

, they had to pass a sleepless night, during the long hours of which the enemy could be distinctly heard in the thick covert of the Wilderness making arrangements to envelop them. It was expected that we would be relieved about daylight by General Longstreet's corps, and hence, I suppose, the line was not readjusted; but as the day began to dawn without any appearance of relief, and as I believed from many indications that the enemy would attack us as soon as they could see, I sent for the porty stood — their balls reaching that position from the south side of the road, and Lieutenant-General Hill directed me to cross the road and drive them back.

Early, Colonel Taylor and others have charged General Longstreet with the loss of the battle, and he has, withstness of the first two of these allegations, General Longstreet, if his statements are to be believed, seems the failure to give proper support is true. General Longstreet had advised against the campaign and the battigadier-General Law's brigade of Hood's division, Longstreet's corps. As to when the division left Chambersbunty-five miles. When we arrived, Generals Lee and Longstreet were together on an eminence in our front, and apine of battle; so that it is manifest that if General Longstreet had crowned Round Top with his artillery any until sunset, he would have won the battle. General Longstreet, in his article of the 3d of November last, c erroneous, as I have already shown, for although Longstreet was a lieutenant-general commanding a corps, and sunset, and probably not until after dark.

ain he came, but on they went. Following the line was the unarmed squad, unable to do more than swell the volume of the wild shouts of their comrades. Following them also was the commissary department, consisting of two men, with a piece of bacon swung on a pole between them, yelling and hurrahing. As the line advanced, the blue-jackets sprang up and ran through the broom-straw like hares, followed by a shower of balls. Finally an officer — some say General Gordon, and others an aid of Longstreet's — rode out to the front of the battalion, ordered a halt, and in the name of General Lee thanked the men for their gallant conduct and complimented them in handsome style. His words were greeted with loud cheers, and the battalion marched back to the road carrying several prisoners and having retaken two pieces of artillery which had been abandoned to the enemy. After the enemy was driven back out of reach of our trains and column of march and the troops were in line of battle, General

General Longstreet, with his letter, sends a letter from Coenied, but, on the contrary, quoted from General Longstreet's official report to establish the fact and show that my eighteen guns were on Longstreet's left, between himself and Jackson, in a commandicial extract. It is the misfortune of General Longstreet, if in trying to explain his official anstorical Society Papers (as suggested by General Longstreet), for I make a direct issue with him as otations given in my former article from General Longstreet's pen, he clearly lays claim to the entiission have occurred had Colonel Walton kept Longstreet's artillery in the same position it occupiedo do with its signal repulse; and before General Longstreet's version of the battle can pass into hi was no better artillery in the army than in Longstreet's corps.
