the 27th, halting one day at Chambersburg to secure supplies. The marching was as rapid as the weather and the detours made by Major-General Early and Brigadier-General George H. Steuart would admit. Early, having marched parallel with us as far as Greenwood, there turned off towards Gettysburg and York. At Carlisle General George H. Steuart, who had been detached to McConnellsburg from Greencastle, rejoined the corps, bringing some cattle and horses. At Carlisle, Chambersburg, and Shippensburg requisitions were made for supplies and the shops were searched, many valuable stores being secured. At Chambersburg a train was loaded with ordnance and medical stores and sent back. Near 3,000 head of cattle were collected and sent back by my corps; and my chief commissary, Major Hawks, notified Colonel Cole of the location of 5,000 barrels of flour along the route travelled by my command. From Carlisle I sent forward my engineer, Captain Richardson, with General Jenkins's cavalry

Law's brigade was ordered forward to his division during the day, and joined about noon on the 2d. Previous to his joining, I received instructions from the Commanding-General to move, with the portion of my command that was up, around to gain the Em

I, at the same time, sent Colonel White's cavalry on the turnpike from York towards Gettysburg, to ascertain if any force of the enemy was on that road. At East Berlin aordon, however, but from some straggling courier or cavalryman. These reports all proved to be false, but they were very embarrassing to us. no effort was made to get possession of the wooded hill that night. Johnson had come by the way of Shippensburg and the Greenwood and Cashtown Gap, and did not arrive until after the fighting was all over on that day. As much censure has been cast upon General Ewell for the failure to prosecute the advantage gained on the first day — more, however, b
