Longstreet, afflicted as Early told us he was, often with an intellectual and physical inertia, point blank refused to execute those orders, and the only thing to show on our side is the incomparable achievement of Pickett's division. Stuart rode around McClellan on the Chickahominy and beat back Hooker's cavalry sent to assist that chieftain's on to Richmond. Wheeler rode around Rosecrans' ar
