General Jtch to Fitz John Porter, on the evening of the 27th, Pope ordered him to be at Bristoe at daylight the next moing to bag Jackson, who was then five miles off. General Pope says that Jackson made a mistake in leaving Manaere. If Jackson went there to be caught, it was. If Pope had reached the place at daylight he would have founorter for not getting there in time to bag Jackson. Pope himself arrived about noon. It happened that the evnd as silent as the cities of the plain. So, if General Pope and Fitz John Porter had come at that time they d charges against Porter.

to what this meant, and he told us that the night before he had made a raid upon Pope's Headquarters, near Catlett's Station, with orders to capture him. He had surrolding] and one or two minor staff-officers, whom he took greatly by surprise. Pope's cloak and hat were in the tent, and he was told that the general had taken theners, particularly officers, and securing public property to a fabulous amount. Pope's uniform, his horses and equipments and money-chests were included in the enumemere cavalry reconnoissance, and not aware of the Confederate forces between General Pope and himself, had demanded Fitz Lee's unconditional surrender, adding that, as Pope was in the rear and his retreat was entirely cut off, there was no alternative. Lee returned him a facetious answer, requesting an hour to consider the questihem.

The reorganization of the disrupted forces of Banks, Fremont, and McDowell under a new head seemed a direct challenge to the soldiers who had made the Valley Campaign, and the proclamation of General Pope The following is the full text of General Pope's address to his army: headquarters Army of Virginia, Washington, D.

These labors are nearly completed, and I am about to join you in the field. Let us understand each other.

could have escaped across the Potomac, but the force under Lee in person (Longstreet's corps and my division) must have been caught. My division was very small and was embarrassed with the wagon trains and artillery of the whole army, save such as Jackson had taken with him. It must be remembered that the army now before McClellan had been constantly marching and fighting since the 25th of June. It had fought McClellan's army from Richmond to the James, and then had turned about and fought Pope's army, reenforced by parts of McClellan's, from the Rapidan to the Potomac. The order excusing barefooted men from marching into Maryland had sent thousands to the rear. Divisions had become smaller than brigades were when the fighting first began; brigades had become smaller than regiments, and regiments had become smaller than companies. Thus the 18th Virginia Regiment (p. 899, Vol. XIX., of the Official Records ) is put at 120 men; 56th Virginia Regiment at 80; 8th Virginia at 34; H

When General Lee began his campaign against Pope I was in command of a division (of three brigades) which was not a part of either of the two corps of the Army of Northern Virginia. I was left on the James for tolonel Van H. Manning, and with the brigade of General Robert Ransom. It was our hope that we should overtake General Lee in time to take part in the fight with Pope; but when we reached the field of Bull Run we found it strewn with the still unburied dead of Pope's army, and learned that Lee was pushing for the fords of the UpPope's army, and learned that Lee was pushing for the fords of the Upper Potomac. Following him rapidly, on the night of the 6th of September my division reached the vicinity of Leesburg, and the next morning crossed the Potomac at Cheek's Ford, at the mouth of the Monocacy, and about three miles above White's Ford, where Stonewall Jackson had crossed. At Cheek's Ford I overtook G. B. Anderson'

rning. Don't burn any of these fencerails. of course we obeyed orders as to the corn, but, the rails suffered.--extract from a letter written by Lieut. Robert Healy, of Jackson's corps. On the 3d of September, 1862, the Federal army under General Pope having been confounded, General Lee turned his columns toward the Potomac, with Stonewall Jackson in front. On the 5th of September Jackson crossed the Potomac at Whitens Ford, a few miles beyond Leesburg. The passage of the river by the troor put the safety of his army rashly to the touch, to win or lose it all. General McClellan was inclined by nature to magnify the forces of the enemy, and had he known General Lee's weakness he would have ventured more. Yet when we remember what Pope had done and suffered just before, and what happened to Burnside and Hooker not long after, their friends can hardly sit in judgment upon McClellan. On the afternoon of the 13th Colonel Miles, in command at Harper's Ferry, made the fatal mistak

nxiety the advance of Lee into Maryland, of Bragg into Kentucky, and the hurrying of the Army of the, Potomac northward from Washington, to get between Lee and the cities of Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. The suspense lest McClellan should not be in time to head off Lee — lest Buell should not arrive in time to prevent Bragg from taking Louisville or assaulting Cincinnati, was fearful. At this time I was stationed at Corinth with the Army of the Mississippi, having succeeded General Pope in that command on the 11th of June. We were in the District of West Tennessee, commanded by General Grant. Under the idea that I would reinforce Buell, General Sterling Price, who, during July and August, had been on the Mobile and Ohio railway near Guntown and Baldwyn, Miss., with 15,000 to 20,000 men, moved up to Iuka about the 12th of September, intending to follow me; and, as he reported, finding that General Rosecrans had not crossed the Tennessee River, he concluded to withdraw f
