n will be up to help him. Another officer: General Mott's division has broken, sir, and is coming bis men, shouting to them and waving his sword. Mott's division behaved badly (as you observed, it bhe charged furiously. At a little after eleven Mott's left gave way. On the right the brigade of Stere was sharp fighting all along the line. General Mott's division of the 2d Corps was put on the l General Wright and explain to him, then to General Mott and direct him to demonstrate along his frofor shells. Then I rode along the lines to General Mott and got his position as well as I could, an General Meade and told me to go out at once to Mott and to get a written report from him, which I dre run through the body by their comrades! But Mott's men on the left behaved shamefully, and so Upetly and firmly to Meade: General, I don't want Mott's men on my left; they are not a support; I wouhe Po River and Todd's Tavern road.

are worse than useless; they give way at the first fire and expose the whole line to be flanked. At the Wilderness the 6th Corps would have been stronger without Ricketts's division; at Spotsylvania the whole army would have been stronger without Mott's division.

All was quiet this morning towards the railroad.

temper throughout, so that it was quite pleasant all round. [In writing some days later, Lyman thus describes the country over which this engagement was fought:] The tract marked dense wood on my map beggars description. It is a wood, with a tangled, thick undergrowth that almost stops the passage of a man. The rest of the country is also much wooded, but wherever you see a house, there is a farm of greater or less size. [After a more detailed description of the fighting, he continues:] Mott's men give way, the Rebels yell and their batteries open a cross-fire, and the enemy the other side of the run make as if to attack the 2d division in front. But the valiant Egan faces his line to the rear and charges the flank of the Rebels rushing from the woods; they are in turn smashed up and run back again, and a grand mixed — up fight takes place, in the midst of which Hampton's cavalry falls furiously upon Gregg, who falls furiously upon him, and won't budge an inch. The most singula

just across the road). We gathered in the greatest force, for oysters attracted, even if Riddle didn't, and had a high festival. We had songs, whereof I sang several, with large applause. You don't drink, said Duane, but it don't make any difference, because you look as if you had been drinking, and that's all that is necessary. Before I finish this day I must go back to tell of the beginning and progress of the Weldon road expedition. Last Wednesday, General Warren, with his own Corps, Mott's division of the 2d Corps, and nearly the whole of Gregg's division of cavalry, started in the morning and marched down the Jerusalem plank road, striking across to the Nottoway River, at Freeman's Bridge, a distance of from fifteen to seventeen miles. There a pontoon bridge was thrown and the whole command got over before daybreak the next morning, the advance getting that night to Sussex Court House. Meantime the enemy, getting [wind] of the move, sent off A. P. Hill's Corps, that evening

hat evening, in great glee. Ah! I did see them. I did them ask for to play Yan — kay Doodle; but they vould not! About 9 o'clock we got to General Humphreys on the Boydton plank road, by Mrs. Rainie's. It was now definitely known that the enemy had given up his whole line in this front and was retreating northwesterly, towards Sutherland's Station. He was reported, however, as forming line of battle a mile or two beyond us. Immediately Miles's division marched up the Claiborne road, while Mott, followed by Hays (2d division, 2d Corps), took the Boydton plank. Still more to our left, the cavalry and the 5th Corps were moving also in a northerly direction. Meanwhile, Wright had faced his Corps about and was marching down the Boydton plank, that is to say towards the 2d Corps, which was going up; on his left was the 24th Corps, which had formed there by Grant's orders; so you will see, by the map, that the jaws of the pincers were coming together, and the enemy hastened to slip from
