Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 7. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Reminiscences of the campaign of 1864 in Virginia. (search)
of such a movement would not only have disposed of Hancock for the day, but would have thrown a powerful force perpendicular to General Grant's centre and right wing, already confronted by General Ewell. There is a lull all along the line. It is the ominous stillness that precedes the tornado. Three brigadas under Mahone — a dangerous man — are already in position for the flank attack, whose spectre seems to have been haunting Hancock from the beginning. No wonder, it was so near Chancellorsville. A yell and a volley announce the opening of the tragedy. The din of battle rolls eastward; the enemy are giving way. It is a moment pregnant with momentous results, and to those of us not engaged one of intense anxiety. The left brigades begin to move forward. Already they have made considerable progress; and still eastward roll the fiery billows of war. Can it be possible that we are on the eve of a great victory? But the fire begins to slacken; the advance movement ceases. What

ngton, North Carolina, had been assigned to General Stephen Elliott's brigade a day or two before the engagement. Not a great many of the officers at Averasboroa had had much experience in infantry field fighting. Captain de Rosset was one of the few who had, he having served with distinction, as an officer of the Third North Carolina infantry, in the Army of Northern Virginia through the campaigns of both 1862 and 1863, in which he was twice wounded, first at Sharpsburg, and again at Chancellorsville. On the morning of the 16th of March, at Averasboroa, the battalion was moved to the left of Rhett's brigade, which held the left of our line. During the fighting of that morning, as described by General Taliaferro, Captain de Rosset, finding his men slowly pressed back, asked Colonel W. B. Butler, commanding Rhett's brigade, for orders; explaining that General Elliott was too far away, on the extreme right, to report to in the emergency. Colonel Butler replied: I have no orders to

Cumpsten, John A. Russell, and John Charles. The Virginia division A. N. V. Association have happily selected as their orator at their annual reunion in October next, General Fitz. Lee. He has chosen as his subject Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, and we can promise in advance, something which shall be at the same time entertaining to those who may hear it, and of great value to the historian. This Association have been very fortunate in the orators who have represented them at previe entertaining to those who may hear it, and of great value to the historian. This Association have been very fortunate in the orators who have represented them at previous reunions, and the series of addresses embraced in the A. N. V. Memorial Volume (see advertisement) will compare favorably with any historical addresses ever delivered. But the value of the series will be greatly enhanced when the gallant Fitz. Lee shall have added the true story of Fredericksburg and of Chancellorsville.

illery serving with it. If, therefore, the peculiar functions of cavalry with the army were not satisfactorily performed in the absence of my command, it should rather be attributed to the fact that Jenkins' brigade was not as efficient as it ought to have been, and as its numbers (3,800) on leaving Virginia warranted us in expecting. Even at that time by its reduction incident to the campaign, it numbered far more than the cavalry which successfully covered Jackson's flank movement at Chancellorsville, turned back Stoneman from the James, and drove 3,500 cavalry under Averill across the Rappahannock. Properly handled, such a command should have done everything requisite, and left nothing to detract, by the remotest implication, from the brilliant exploits of their comrades, achieved under circumstances of great hardship and danger. Arriving at York, I found that General Early had gone, and it is to be regretted that this officer failed to take any measure, by leaving an intelli

Editorial Paragraphs. The reunion of the Virginia division of the army of Northern Virginia Association will take place on Wednesday, October 29th, 1879, in the State Capitol at Richmond. General Fitz. Lee is the chosen orator of the occasion, and will speak on Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. With his personal knowledge of the subject, and the earnest study he is giving the official reports and other authorities on both sides, we shall expect from our gallant friend, General Fitz, a most entertaining address and a valuable contribution to this important chapter of our glorious annals. The annual meeting of the Southern Historical Society will occur on Thursday, October 30th, 1879, in the State Capitol at Richmond. Our programme, which has not yet been fully arranged, will be duly announced; but we are expecting a pleasant and profitable meeting.

stly desired at this office; for, while we have already an invaluable collection, we are as anxious as ever to make it as full and complete as possible. And, where our friends have valuable documents which they are not willing to part with, but which they are willing to have copied, we beg that they will send them at once to our office, where they can be copied both for our own use and that of the War Department in Washington. Our annual report for the year ending 1st of November, 1879, will appear in our next (December) number, together with a report of our annual meeting.
