n the right, in place of the detachment under Jenkins; Pryor's brigade next on the left; Kemper, Anderson, and Colston near the stage road (Williamsburg). They made blazing fires of pine-knots to dry their clothing and blankets, and these lighted reinforcing Union troops to their lines behind the railroad. The brigades of Huger's division (Armistead's and Mahone's) were near the left. Pickett was ordered to report to General Hill at daylight, also the batteries of Maurin, Stribling, and Watson. It was past eleven o'clock when all things were made ready and the killed and wounded cared for; then I rode to find the headquarters of our new commander. Summary of forces and losses.

de fire from his artillery, would come into battle and give it cohesive power. I left Headquarters at three o'clock, and after an hour's repose rode to the front to find General Hill. Wilcox's brigade was on my right on the return front, Pryor's brigade on his left, and R. H. Anderson, Kemper, Colston, Armistead, and Mahone occupied the line between the Williamsburg road and the railroad. Pickett's brigade was ordered to be with General Hill at daylight, and Maurin's, Stribling's, and Watson's batteries, of Pickett's brigade, to take position on the right of Armistead's. I found General Hill before he had his breakfast, enjoying the comforts of Casey's camp. Pickett had passed and was in search of his position, which was soon disclosed by a fusillade from the front of Richardson's division. A party of bummers from Richmond had found their way into the camp at Fair Oaks, and were getting such things as they could put their hands on. They were taken in the gray of the mornin

makes no mention of any injury which could have been inflicted by a ram. (4) It seems impossible that the Manassas should have struck such a blow to the Hartford as Warley describes and have left no traceable injury. (5) It is exceedingly improbable that the Manassas would have struck the Hartford under such advantageous circumstances as Captain Kautz describes (when the Hartford was ashore) and have had no effect other than to turn the Hartford round so that she slid off the shoal. (6) Commander Watson informs me that he thinks it is a mistake to suppose that the Manassas touched the Hartford at any time. He goes on to say: Farragut thought it was the Manassas which pushed the fire-raft against the Hartford's port side, while the Confederate reports state that this was done by a certain tug-boat. The admiral never, to my knowledge, entertained the idea that such a blow as the Manassas is supposed to have given would have released the Hartford's bow. I believe that he ascribed her r
