It is vivid, and, wiof his command whose strength is reported at Cedar Run is Archer's brigade, which was 1,200 strong regiments. The strength of nine of these at Cedar Run is given in the Confederate official reports Colonel Taylor puts at 8,000 men. But at Cedar Run Jackson had in addition six regiments, constt the strength of Pope's army at the time of Cedar Run, August 9. General Pope reports officiallPope says that Banks had only about 8,000 at Cedar Run, meaning infantry and artillery, as the abovrps from heat and diarrhea on their march to Cedar Run, and recalls the fact that one regiment,.

Relative numbers and losses at slaughter's mountain ( Cedar Run ) By Colonel Wm. Allan, late Chief of Ordnance, Second Corps, A. N. V. McDonough school, Md., March 2, 1880. Rev. Dr. J. Wm. Jones, Secretary Southern Historical Society: My Dear Sir--General G. H. Gordon, of Massachusetts, has published several valuable papers on the war. His last book (noticed in your last number) is, however, by far the most elaborate and useful. Indeed, it is the most extensive and carefully prepared account of Pope's campaign (after Cedar Run) that I have met with. It is vivid, and, with some exceptions, which may be credited to the natural bias of an earnest and active participant in the struggle, it is fair and truthful. The faults of style, which are many, and the diffuseness with which the jealousies and spites of Halleck, Pope, Fitz John Porter, McClellan and others are told over and over again, may be pardoned to a gallant soldier, more at home on a hard fought field than in the c

Robertson's Brigade--Second, Sixth, Seventh and Twelfth Virginia cavalry4 A. P. Hill had nine batteries on July 23d, of which six seem to have been with him at Gordonsville, while the batteries in the other divisions were eleven. Total batteries, seventeen. Now the return of A. P. Hill's division for July 20th, 1862, gives his officers and men present for duty as 10,623 (see Colonel Taylor's Four Years with General Lee). He had twenty-eight infantry regiments and nine batteries then, and assuming his infantry to have been 10,000, we have the average strentgh of his regiments as 357. The only portion of his command whose strength is reported at Cedar Run

t have taken place between the latter part of July and August 9th, due to the heat and sickness of the season. In the ten days preceding the battle, Banks' Federal corps seems to have lost twenty-five per cent. of its strength from this cause. Jackson's strength was lessened, but not to the same degree. Jackson's losses in the battle itself were 1,314. There seems to be an unnecessary tangle about the strength of Pope's army at the time of Cedar Run, August 9. General Pope reports offiJackson's losses in the battle itself were 1,314. There seems to be an unnecessary tangle about the strength of Pope's army at the time of Cedar Run, August 9.

shall certainly be over rather than under the mark. Hence Jackson had, exclusive of Hill, possibly 12,000 infantry and artillery. Robertson's cavalry, after its hard service, could hardly have exceeded 1,000 or 1,200 men. Thus the Confederate force under Jackson on August 9 was-- Hill's division10,623 Winder's and Ewell's division's12,000 Cavalry1,200    23,823 Nearly 24,000 men. Of this force two brigades, Lawton's and Gregg's, were not on the battlefield. This diminished Jackson's strength by eleven regiments or about 3,800 men. So his force engaged against Banks was, by the above, about 20,000 men. But this is no doubt an excessive estimate, for in it no account is taken of the diminution which must have taken place between the latter part of July and August 9th, due to the heat and sickness of the season. In the ten days preceding the battle, Banks' Federal corps seems to have lost twenty-five per cent. of its strength from this cause. Jackson's strength was le
