ousand men composing his small army corps. On the 20th of May, Jackson left New Market at the head of an army of twenty thousand men. Instead of bearing down directly upon Strasburg by the main road and the broad valley of North Fork, which Banks was carefully watching, he crossed the Massanuten Mountains and re-entered the narrow valley of South Fork, where he was protected both by that river and the mountains. He thus left Luray behind, while his advance-guard encamped unnoticed, on the 22d, only sixteen kilometres from Front Royal. On the 23d the small Federal garrison, consisting of about nine hundred men, with two pieces of artillery, was taken completely by surprise. By a strange coincidence the regiment placed at the head of Jackson's column bore the same name as the one he was about to attack, the First Maryland. This unfortunate State of Maryland, convulsed by conflicting passions, inflamed by its neighbors of the North on one side and by those of the South on the othe

On the morning of the 22d, Porter's corps, which had been detained on the Chesapeake by stormy weather, disembarked at the y crossing the barrier which held him back as near its source as possible. On the morning of the 22d, while Longstreet was extending his lines to cover the positions occupied the day before by the wo prevent McClellan from knowing those of the army of Virginia. Meanwhile, on the evening of the 22d, Pope changed his mind, and adopted a new plan entirely different from that which was in process , Stuart, faithful to his traditions, had crossed Waterloo Bridge with three hundred horse on the 22d, and by a rapid march had reached Catlett's station that same evening, where he fired into a passlly's Ford. In an opposite direction, Heintzelman's corps, which had landed at Alexandria on the 22d, was also on the march to overtake the army of Virginia. On the very day he landed, Heintzelman

s unknown, but elsewhere this vice could not be so completely suppressed. Sherman's orders, however, were promptly executed, and the stragglers soon collected together, seeing that all the fleet had left the piers at Memphis by the 20th. On the 22d this fleet touched at Helena, where lay the army which Curtis had brought to the borders of the Mississippi in the month of July. The greater portion of those troops were placed on board of the transports, which had come down from Memphis withoutober a portion of his troops encountered a regiment of Union cavalry on the borders of the Cumberland, a little below the town. After losing a few men, the Confederates were obliged to recross the river. But Forrest returned to the charge on the 22d; assembling his forces and marching upon Nashville by the left bank, he drove the Federals back into their lines of defence. These entrenchments could not have sustained a long siege; their profile was slight, and they were not sufficiently exten

proceeding toward Falmouth. Being now convinced that this movement was not a feint, Lee ordered the whole of Longstreet's corps, which had occupied Culpepper since the 3d, to strike their camp, and started for Fredericksburg with them. But for the rise in the river and the delay of the pontons, which paralyzed the Federals, he could not have arrived in time; he had, however, the satisfaction of finding McLaws in quiet possession of the heights commanding the town; and on the morning of the 22d, Burnside, from the summit of the opposite hills, to which he was fettered, had the mortification of seeing the enemy's army quietly settling in the formidable positions which he was not yet able even to dispute. During Longstreet's march from Culpepper to Fredericksburg, Jackson, who had hitherto remained in the valley of Virginia, ready to throw himself upon the right flank or the rear of the enemy, made a corresponding movement, and crossing the Blue Ridge came to take position at Orang

ded left on the road, they ran the risk, if they waited till night, of being turned by the enemy, who could not fail speedily to receive reinforcements. Brannan therefore about four o'clock gave the order for retreat, which was accomplished without confusion. The column, carrying back all its wounded, joined the fleet which had brought them over at a late hour; and on the 23d the Union troops landed at Hilton Head. Colonel Barton, on his side, leaving Mackay's Point on the morning of the 22d, where he had received Brannan's instructions, proceeded up the Coosawatchie with four hundred men and four vessels, two gun-boats and two small transports. At three kilometres below the village of Coosawatchie, the tide being low, there was not water enough. He landed his troops on the right bank and proceeded in the direction of the railroad, hoping to be able to reach the great bridge, which he intended to destroy before the enemy had collected sufficient forces to defend it. Whilst his
