is only true and authentic account of the battle. Headquarters army of the Potomac, March 24, 1864. I have been very busy to-day. The much-talked — of order for reorganizing the Army of the Potomac has at last appeared. Sykes, French and Newton are relieved. Sedgwick, Hancock and Warren command the three corps. This evening an order has arrived relieving General Pleasanton, which, although I did not originate it, yet was, I presume, brought about by my telling the Secretary that the oetc., and says he will be happy to attend any innocent amusement we may get up, he including among these horse races, of which he is very fond. I join with you in the regret expressed at the relief of Sykes. I tried very hard to retain Sykes, Newton, and even French, as division commanders, but without avail. I had very hard work to retain Sedgwick. As to Pleasanton, his being relieved was entirely the work of Grant and Stanton. I hear Butterfield has been swearing terribly against me.

the field. It was now pretty clear that General Meade had awakened to the fact which he treated with such indifference when pressed on him by Sickles in the morning—that our left was the assailable point, if not the key to our position, for he began to pour in reinforcements, whose presence in the beginning of the action, would have saved thousands of lives. Perceiving great exertions on the part of the enemy, says Meade's report, the Sixth corps (Sedgwick's) and part of the First corps (Newton's) Lockwood's Maryland Brigade, together with detachments from the Second corps, were all brought up at different periods, and succeeded, together with the gallant resistance of the Fifth corps, in checking and finally repulsing the assault of the enemy, who retired in confusion and disorder about sunset, and ceased any further efforts. If this remarkable concentration of troops was necessary, at last, to save the left of our army, it is almost incredible that the single corps of General Si

sipated, I did not feel that I would be right in assuming the responsibility of blindly attacking the enemy without any knowledge of his position. I therefore called a council of my corps commanders, who were the officers to execute this duty, if it was determined upon, and laid before them the precise condition of affairs. Question: Will you, as you pass along, give us the names of those corps commanders in that council? Answer: The 1st corps was represented by General Wadsworth; General Newton, who commanded the corps, being sick at the time. The 2d corps was commanded, I think, by General William Hays; the 3d by General French; the 5th by General Sykes; the 6th by General Sedgwick; the 11th by General Howard, and the 12th by General Slocum. I represented to those generals, so far as I knew it, the situation of affairs. I told them that I had reason to believe, from all I could ascertain, that General Lee's position was a very strong one, and that he was prepared to give

Headquarters ared intact. 3d. One of the corps commanders (Newton) urged some objections against the military pod on this particular point I voted (having General Newton's objection in my mind, and having confidet into a retreat. My recollection is that General Newton voted substantially the same way, and thatplies,—one corps commander, I think it was General Newton, said he did not think the position of Getire ground, but he had great confidence in General Newton's military eye for these matters, and he ve a retreat. I understood afterwards that General Newton really had the same view, and did not propng the First Corps, at once sent orders to General Newton, commanding a division of the Sixth Corps,nding general's side Sedgwick, Hancock, Sykes, Newton, Howard, Gibbon, A.
