and such ans may be drawn from others in Tennessee and destroy Rosecranz's army. I feel assured that this is practicable, and that greater advantages will be gained than by any operations from here. I remain, General, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, (Signed) James Longstreet, Lieut.-General. General R. E. Lee, Commanding, etc. It will be noticed by those who have watched the desultory controversy maintained upon this subject, that after I had proved the fallacy of Gen-Pendleton's and General Early's idea of a sunri se attack, they fall back upon the charge that I delayed bringing my troops into action, waiving all question of an order from General Lee. I have shown that I did not receive orders from General Lee to attack until about 11 o'clock on the 2d; that I immediately began my dispositions for attack; that I waited about forty minutes for Laws' brigade, by General Lee's assenting authority; that by especial orders from General Lee my corps marched into posi

rian, were in substance the same attack upon General Lee which he has repeated in this paper. It was, therefore, in him, and came out before any of the utterances now complained of were made. The official reports of Generals Ewell, Early, and Pendleton, written soon after the battle, clearly stated it was well understood and expected that General Longstreet would make the main attack early in the morning of the 2nd of July. If these reports furnished the sly under-current of misrepresentatim on the night of the 1st, when he reported to him the result of a reconnoissance on the right flank, that he had ordered General Longstreet to attack on that flank at sunrise next morning. The official reports of Generals Ewell, Early, and Pendleton, all confirm this testimony. General A. P. Hill, in his official report of the battle of Gettysburg, says, speaking of the operations of the morning of the 2nd, General Longstreet was to attack the left flank of the enemy and sweep down his li

amsters, guards, &c., I have deducted, instead of 13 per cent., only 6 per cent. for men on the sick list or under arrest; 4,090 seems already a very low figure if it embraces all the men on duty with the trains of ammunition, which is a military duty, as it gives only men per gun. If all these troops were not at Gettysburg during the whole battle, every man out of them was at a certain time within reach of the field of battle, and therefore under the hand of General Lee. According to General Pendleton's official report, the artillery was divided in 15 battalions, 5 to each corps: each battlion contained 4 batteries of 4 guns each, which give 16 guns per battalion, 80 per corps, and 240 for the whole, to which should be added the horse artillery, containing 6 batteries of 4 guns each or 24 guns, and one brigade battery of 4 guns in Early's division, or 268 guns in the whole. I reckon, therefore, the whole strength of the Army of Northern Virginia, in Pennsylvania, at about 76,000 p
