led them upon the astonished foe. This took place in the afternoon, and before night had suspended operations Hooker's discomfiture was assured. The advantage was promptly and vigorously pushed on the next morning; in the course of which Lee and Stuart (who had succeeded to the command of the wounded Jackson), again touched elbows, swept Hooker's army out of its works at Chancellorsville and sent it reeling and broken back upon the Rappahannock. Hooker thus disposed of, now for Sedgwick. Ea thousand men! The motives for the advance into Pennsylvania were similar to those already indicated as prompting the movement into Maryland of the previous year. The campaign was attended with misfortune from the start. The miscarriage of Stuart's cavalry deprived General Lee of its cooperation and left him in a strange and hostile country without its necessary aid in feeling his way and keeping him apprised of his surroundings. This precipitated the unexpected clash at Gettysburg, whic

ant-general, arrived at the hospital and asked to see the General. He stated that General Hill had been wounded, and that the troops were in great disorder. General Stuart was in command, and had sent him to see the General. At first I declined to permit an interview, but the colonel urged that the safety of the army and succesen he entered the tent the General said: Well, major, I am glad to see you. I thought you were killed. Pendleton briefly explained the condition of affairs, gave Stuart's message, and asked what should be done. General Jackson was at once interested, and asked in his quick, rapid way several questions. When they were answered, lashed its old fire, but it was only for a moment; his face relaxed again, and presently he answered very feebly and sadly, I don't know, I can't tell; say to General Stuart he must do what he thinks best. Soon after this he slept for several hours, and seemed to be doing well. The next morning he was free from pain, and express

nt soldiers. But such were not the men who marched with Jackson, who fought at Chickamauga, who stormed the heights of Gettysburg, who charged with Hampton and Stuart, or who stood amidst Sumter's crumbling walls. The assembling of our armies was really the gathering of clans. The first two acts of the Confederate Congress y have stormed batteries, formidably defended, at the point of the bayonet; nothing of this kind has ever been attempted by the Federals. Again and again has General Stuart's cavalry surprised Federal camps at night; no Confederate camp has been surprised since the commencement of the war. One or two regiments of these tattered m that stopped their way when hurrying to the fierce battle in the Wilderness are familiar, and have gone into history. Our dashing, brilliant cavalry leader, General Stuart, when he came to die could quietly say: I am resigned if it be God's will, but I should like to see my wife. But God's will be done, and General Lee in annou

than 3,000 of his cavalry were on hand to observe the crossing of the Rappahannock and Rapidan. Stuart had not, until Thursday, fully gauged the importance of this movement, and only on Thursday nighthis new march with cheerful alacrity. They could always follow Old Jack with their eyes shut. Stuart's cavalry masked the advance. Jackson did not know that his column would have to pass some openby just such a height, or else to abandon this line of defence. On Sunday morning at daylight Stuart, who succeeded Jackson, ranged his twenty thousand men opposite the Fairview crest, and supportekson for a watchword, and was gallant in the extreme.

ion. I saw we could not drive the enemy, and that we were suffering a terrible loss of life. I ordered the men to retire behind the breastworks. The regiments to my left, following my movement, also fell back. To show the terrific fire to which we were exposed, I will state that I went into that fight with three hundred and fifty muskets, and in less than ten minutes I had one hundred and sixty men killed and wounded. We had remained behind the breastworks some time, when General J. E. B. Stuart, who, upon the fall of Jackson and the wounding of A. P. Hill, had been called to the command of Jackson's corps, rode in front of the line where the Stonewall Brigade was, and called for it. They responded, they were there—Stuart ordered an advance. The order was given, and I state positively, after recent conversations with men and officers of the Fourth Virginia infantry, that notwithstanding the terrible ordeal through which they had only a short time before that passed, every

tood firm and unawed by the mighty hosts that confronted him. During the night of the 20th of April the Federals attacked some North Carolina pickets, drove in their reserves, laid down pontoon bridges, and crossed the river below Deep Run, near the Bernard house. The alarm was soon conveyed to Barksdale's pickets at Fernahough's house. The long roll and the alarm bell at Fredericksburg soon brought Barksdale's brigade into line. During that day General Lee ascertained through General J. E. B. Stuart that General Hooker was moving his main army to cross the Rappahannock and Rapidan, and fall on his left flank and rear through the Wilderness. General Lee immediately moved his main force, and confronted him at Chancellorsville, on the 1st of May. General Early's division was left at Hamilton's station to watch the Federal General, Sedgwick, who was left in the command of thirty thousand troops in front of Fredericksburg. Barksdale's brigade was left at Fredericksburg to picket

The enemy's cavalry (division) failing to dislodge Stuart, gave up the accomplishment of that work to the Fifth corps (Warren's). When Anderson arrived at Spotsylvania Courthouse, he found the cavalry (Fitz. Lee's divisionight with the Fifth corps and Torbert's cavalry division. Torbert was checked on his right, and Stuart, with the assistance of several brigades of infantry sent to him by Anderson, soon created in thand a tendency to stampede—ascribed by him, however, to want of rest and Wilderness experience. Stuart stopped their advance, and they fell to entrenching of their own accord. The conduct and skill of Stuart in this fight on the 8th, on which so much depended, always met the warm approval of the Commanding-General, and he spoke of it, with grateful remembrance, in the days of March, 1865, when d
