After the battle at Fredericksburg, General Lee's army went into winter quarters along the south side of the Rappahannock, and the Federal army made itself comfortable on the north side of the same river.

Morgan, of the same regiment, greatly distinguished himself by serving gallantly a piece of artillery commanding a bridge desired by the Federals. The losses in the two regiments were only 9 killed, 28 wounded. The brigades in General Rodes' division were engaged in a successful pursuit of the enemy at Berryville and Martinsburg, but had no serious engagement until they reached Gettysburg. The weeks following Chancellorsville were busy weeks with the cavalry. At Middleburg, General Robertson, commanding the Fourth and Fifth North Carolina cavalry, attacked a brigade of Pleasanton's cavalry, and more than held his own in a plucky fight. In this engagement, Maj. James H. McNeill was wounded. Again near Middleburg, on the 19th of June, a sharp skirmish took place, in which the First, Fourth and Fifth cavalry w

To cover Jackson's march, Lee at intervals during the day tapped at the lines in his front, prird, in spite of repeated warnings, had not strengthened his position, and when Jackson's troops rushed fiercely upon his command, over half of which was composed of but partial only. But the force on the right was swept away like a cobweb by Jackson's mighty besom. . . .Never was an army more completely surprised, more absolutely overwhelmed. . . . Happily, night was approaching and Jackson's troops had to be halted and reformed, his three lines having become inextricably mixed. Boston Ss by effective work against him, and won General Heth's hearty praise. During Jackson's triumphant progress, Anderson hotly attacked the Federal front, but there werst McLaws and then Anderson to meet and check this advance. No force except Jackson's corps was left in front of Hooker's vast army. Here, then, is Colonel Dodge

nnock, and the Federal army made itself comfortable on the north side of the same river. It was a rigorous winter, and many of the Confederates suffered severely from lack of proper uniforms and shoes, and from want of proper food. In April, General Hooker, who had succeeded Burnside in command of the Federal army, began a demonstration against the Confederate front and right, and under cover of this movement, marched the Eleventh, Twelfth and Fifth corps up the Rappahannock, crossed at Kelly's ford, and concentrated at Chancellorsville on Thursday afternoon, the 30th of April. The Second corps crossed at United States ford, and the Third was ordered to follow by the same route. Four corps were thus massed on Lee's left flank, and a fifth was nearly in position, with scarcely a man lost. The initial success was certainly with Hooker, and a continuation of this vigorous offensive would have desperately compromised the army of Northern Virginia. But Hooker's energy seemed to expend

ker's objective point was his flank; so leaving Early's division, Barksdale's brigade and part of the reserve artillery under Pendleton, to guard his lines at Fredericksburg, he ordered McLaws to move toward Anderson's position at midnight on the 30th, and Jackson to move at dawn. General Jackson reached Anderson's hasty works ate First and Third regiments were in Colston's division. Hooker's plan was to uncover Banks' ford so as to get in easy communication with his troops left at Fredericksburg, and advance to the open ground beyond Chancellorsville. He had already lost a day, and the day was very valuable to Lee. His troops moved forward, and Syketoward the Rappahannock by 10 a. m., and General Lee halted his men to rest and reform.

The whole line moved forward shortly after daylight, with Remember Jackson as a watchword. The breastworks, where the night attack stopped, were carried after desperate effort.
