e city of Petersburg than by quoting from the very extraordinary congratulatory order of Brigadier-General Wise, to his command:-- On approaching with nine regiments of infantry and cavalry, and atil he reached a point on that road some four miles distant from the enemy's intrenchments. General Wise was evidently very much misinformed. He further said in his congratulatory order that he hadts again that he captured all there were of Taliaferro's cavalry outside of the intrenchments. Wise further adds that he had the following additional forces: Major Archer's corps of reserves, seconbe discussed. These, then, constituted the entire number of men south of the Appomattox under General Wise's command, being, all told, not more than fifteen hundred effective men. General Kautz rep I thought I could spare to make the attack. I knew that but a few more troops had been added to Wise's command in Petersburg, and that all the troops with arms, second class militia, reserves, penit

e it should have been made; but in his first report, of the 26th of December, he said, as was the fact, that the fire was set under the cabin See Appendix No. 133. [in the stern]. When that department investigated the matter through Chief of Ordnance Wise, both Jeffers and Rodman stated that Porter's report of circumstances for the purpose of that investigation was that the fire was set on the forecastle, as the instructions for its explosion required should be done. Nobody but Porter says so, and he contradicts himself, as we have seen; and the action of the fire, as we have also seen, shows that it could not have been so done. The order of Wise shows that this investigation and all the reports should be confidential. See Appendix No. 134. Why so, unless it was intended that the facts should be kept from me? And they were so kept until I managed to have them developed before the Committee on the Conduct of the War. Porter was over-anxious that a second attack should be

ittee on the Conduct of the War, No. 5, p. 252. [No. 131. See page 806.] . . . The death of the gallant Preston, who fell in the subsequent assault upon Fort Fisher, deprives the record of his written testimony; but in an interview with Commander Wise, while in Washington as a bearer of despatches, he stated that he heard two distinct explosions; others said that they heard three; but this was not his opinion. He could see, however, repeated explosions in the air, evidently those of the iorm and simultaneous explosion, together with the manner in which the plan was executed, and their impressions of the result and the effects produced. This information is desired as early as practicable. I am, sir, your obedient servant, H. A. Wise, Chief of Bureau. Report before the Committee on the Conduct of the War, No. 5, p. 243.
