dam, where the Great Frederick sleeps, do I remember ever to have seen the colors of any single regiment or battery which bears upon its folds so many pitched fights as this battle-flag is entitled to bear. To those who do not know its history so well as we do, this may sound the mere extravagance of rhetoric. There are but few names left upon this flag, but omitting many minor combats and countless affairs, there belong upon it of right and with honor— First Manassas,Jericho Ford, (North Anna), Mechanicsville,Cold Harbor, Gaines' Mill,First Reams' Station, Frazier's Farm, (Glendale),The Crater, Malvern Hill,Actions on the Weldon Railroad, (August 18th, 19th, and 21st), Cedar Mountain, Warrenton Springs,Second Reams' Station, Second Manassas, (both days),Battle of September 30th, 1864, right of Petersburg, Ox Hill, (Chantilly), Harper's Ferry,Battle of Squirrel Level Road, Sharpsburg, (Antietam),Battle of the Dabney House, Shepherdstown,Burgess' Mill, October 27th, 18

gh spirit, and the morale of Lee's army was never better than after the battle of Cold Harbor. See Army of the Potomac, Swinton, pages 491, 492. Four Years with General Lee, Taylor, page 135. Southern Historical Papers, General C. M. Wilcox. page 75. But General Humphreys, in his Virginia Campaign of ‘64 and ‘65, putting our forces at 61,953 at the commencement of the campaign (page 17), gives the Federal losses as follows; Wilderness (page 53), 15,387; Spotsylvania (page 116), 17,723; North Anna (page 133), 2,100; Cold Harbor (page 191), 12,970; total, 48,180. True, Lee had received reinforcements at Hanover, which General Humphreys estimates at 8,700 muskets and 600 officers (page 125). But he admits that before Lee had received these reinforcements, with an army of 61,953 men, he had inflicted a loss upon the enemy of 33,100. Is that not enough for the vindication of Lee's strategy and of his army's skill and discipline? So that if we suppose the two armies starting out on t

Had Hooker been a Lee, and Sedgwick a Jackson, Sedgwick would have moved out of Deep Run with his 30,000, square across the plateau between Barksdale and Early during the night of the 1st of May, and presented himself on the hills on the Mine road; General Early would have been captured or routed back to North Anna, Barksdale would have evacuated Marye's Hill, and, perhaps, made his escape by the plank road and gained Lee, and Jackson would not have made his flank movement to Hooker's right flank. Still, then, nothing but action on the part of both Hooker and Sedgwick would have prevailed. If General Hooker had prudently remained at Chancellorsville, defending his ninety thousand men against half of Lee's army, now reduced by the loss of Early, Stonewall Jackson would have turned upon Sedgwick with
