f the Union Army, including both the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Virginia, from which Pope had just been relieved, passed quietly again into the hands of McClellan. He at once took the field again to re-organize the forces, and started in pursuit of Lee. The restoration of McClellan contributed a healthy enthusiasm and on McClellan contributed a healthy enthusiasm and on Sept. 7 the Army moved in three columns, the right wing under Burnside, the centre under Sumner and the left under Franklin. Col. Hinks having been relieved of the command of the Brigade by the return of Gen. Dana, took command of the Nineteenth Massachusetts as it started on the march which brought it finally to South Mountain l valley below. The regiment moved at a very quick pace, considering the steepness of the ascent. Song and joke no longer enlivened the march. The army of McClellan was moving in three columns,— one in the road and the others across country on each side of the road. It was the custom to have a column take the road on one da

ver. He failed. The work that should have been done at 9 o'clock in the morning was not done until 2.30 o'clock in the afternoon and the fruits of victory were lost. Sumner, in his position at the centre of the line, received orders from Gen. McClellan at 7.20 A. M. to cross the Antietam with his Corps, but instead of crossing at the bridge, went to the right, through a barnyard and past a number of haystacks, then around the hill upon which he had been encamped, and crossed the quiet, sile hill east of the Hagarstown Pike, near the house of W. Middlekauff, where they remained in support of a battery until dark. Then they moved around and took position on the westerly edge of the east wood. The action of the Brigade had saved McClellan's right flank from being turned, as he states in his official report (pp. 279– 280) and by the re-forming of Sedgwick's broken division, Stonewall Jackson could not secure the results of his original advantage. In consequence of Gen. Sedgwick'

Chapter 20: to Falmouth, in pursuit of Lee. Burnside supersedes McClellan. At 2 P. M. on Oct. 29 the Nineteenth regiment joined its brigade and took up the ling. At sunset the men encamped at the entrance to Snicker's Gap. It being McClellan's intention to throw himself between Stonewall Jackson in the valley and Lee ded with the required staff that night. At Warrenton it was rumored that Gen. McClellan had been relieved of his command and succeeded by Gen. Burnside. This was realized next day, Nov. 10, when Gen. McClellan took leave of his troops, 100,000 strong—all of whom, except the Ninth Corps, had for twenty months shared his fortuneof the Peninsula and Antietam campaigns. The army was drawn up in line and McClellan rode past the men whom he had organized and led so often and who had a very g6,000 troops on the field at one time. For some reason, Burnside abandoned McClellan's plan of operations, which the latter had fully explained to him, and starte

n of Warrenton and even further to the South, gallantly replied to by Arnold's A, First Rhode Island which, having been in action against Stewart, had literally executed the order,—seldom, if ever heard except on the drill ground,—Fire to the rear! Limbers and caissons, pass your pieces. The shells of still another Confederate battery, which had got around upon the Greenwich road, flew in a direction exactly opposite to that taken by the shells leaving Stewart's staff. It was said by Major McClellan, of Stewart's staff that shots from Stewart's guns passed clear over the Union troops and fell among the advancing lines of Ewell, on the other side, actually checking their advance. This shows how closely the corps was invested at this time. On arrival at Catlett's the division halted until the First was able to get away from the enemy and join them. Thus far the Nineteenth regiment had met no loss, although several times under fire. The regiments had started out on the 12th wit

The near approach of the Presidential elections reminded this party that it had still another chance; and, when Lincoln was renominated by the Republicans, General McClellan became the candidate of the Democrats, who openly declared the war for the Union a failure, and demanded an immediate cessation of hostilities. See resoluby protracted resistance they could even temporarily exhaust the endurance of those who had persisted so long—they would exert an influence directly favorable to McClellan. We have already referred to the great consideration which attached to the Presidential contest in the North which was now to take place; we have stated that it, at this crisis, the victory of Atlanta revived the drooping spirits of the nation and gave stamina to the government; and coming, as it did, the very day after McClellan's nomination, was a disastrous blow to the Democrats. Volunteering at once revived, and troops again began pouring into the armies. Meanwhile, the country an
