tained from the following incident: Gen. E. P. Alexander, my engineer and superintendent of artillery, had been placing the guns, and, in going over the field with him before the battle, I noticed an idle cannon. I suggested that he place it so as to aid in covering the field in front of Marye's Hill. He answered, General, we cover that ground now so well that we will comb it as if with a fine comb. A chicken could not live on that field when we open on it. Gen. Lee, who was with me on Lee's Hill, became uneasy when he saw the attacks so promptly renewed and pushed forward with such persistence, and feared the Federals might break through our lines. After the third charge he said to me General, they are massing very heavily and will break your line, I am afraid. General, I replied, if you put every man now on the other side of the Potomac on that field to approach me over the same line, and give me plenty of ammunition, I will kill them all before they reach my line.

The crossing of the river in the boats gave rise to one of the poems written during the war by George H. Boker of Philadelphia. They leaped into the rocking shallops— Ten offered where one could go; And the breeze was alive with laughter Till the boatmen began to row. And many a brave, stout fellow Who sprang in the boats with mirth Ere they made that fatal crossing Was only lifeless earth. Cheer after cheer we sent them As only Armies can,— Cheers for old Massachusetts.— Cheers for Young Michigan. They formed in line of battle, Not a man was out of place; Then with levelled steel they hurled them Straight in the rebel's face.
