its best soldiers. On the 1st of February, Longstreet was sent with three divisions of his corps i army: Lee, general, was commander-in-chief; Longstreet and Jackson, lieutenant-generals, had each aorps until night. It now fell to the lot of Longstreet's soldiers to undergo long marches and hazarred. The news that Hill had received from Longstreet had prompted him to this step, and, turning nine to fourteen thousand men. This is what Longstreet, who was perfectly well informed by his spiery difficult to defend, and seemed to invite Longstreet to force a passage: he had the bridge-equipauns, and well garrisoned by Peck's infantry, Longstreet saw at once that all surprise was impossiblel line, but without attacking it seriously. Longstreet, in fact, had changed his tactics. He was g Branch along both sides of the stream. But Longstreet has taken every measure to cover the retreatned to it, needed a powerful reinforcement.

Gardner, evacuating Port Hudson, would have brought his little army to Jackson, instead of sending only a few regiments. Finally, since Lee could dispense with Longstreet's corps and gain the battle of Chancellorsville without him, instead of letting those choice troops waste their time and trouble in an operation of so little importance as the siege of Suffolk, they might have been sent to the borders of the Mississippi. The troops taken from Bragg and Beauregard in the early part of May should have been forwarded sooner in order to reinforce Pemberton, or all those whose departure had been ordered after the battle of Champion's Hill should have been sent

This corps, added to that of Longstreet, would have been sufficiently strong to fighfantry in the direction of Washington, while Longstreet quietly planted himself at the foot of the eed on the summit of the ridge. On the 20th, Longstreet, having been ordered to hold himself in read. But appearances alone were favorable; for Longstreet's two divisions, being at that moment withine morning, and we must believe that he finds Longstreet still delayed in his preparations by difficuhe earlier part of the 2d.

On the evening of the following day Longstreet arrives at Millwood, but the Shenandoah's waf Pickett's division, which is arriving with Longstreet, follows his example: the men, after having countermanding the marching orders given to Longstreet, Lee forms the plan of surprising the littleto Chester Gap.

The First and Second corps have thus found themselves reduced to three divisions each. Longstreet has kept the first, and Ewell the second.

The first relates to certain movements of Longstreet's corps during the afternoon of the 29th of on to believe to be scrupulously correct: Longstreet, arriving from Gainesville with General Lee,assas Junction.
