t. There was severe fighting even after dark, and the sparkle of musketry made a fine display. Then the big rebel rifled cannon ceased to mark time, the sputter and crackle of small arms ceased on the centre, Franklin and Jackson's guns throbbed heavily a few times on the left; and all was still on the north side of the river, save the rumble of army-wagons, which are probably intimately connected with Bryant's innumerable caravan, that moves for ever through the gate of death. A kind Providence cared for the wounded. The air was s mild in the night, as if the month were June, and the wind came balmy from the South. If the night had been cold, hundreds of wounded, faint with the loss of blood, would have perished. It was not possible for any one who had witnessed the fight, and was candid with himself, to dispute the fact that we had had the worst of it. We had started out to take the enemy's batteries on the hills. That we had done no such thing was painfully apparent. Tho

I saw the struggling hosts of freedom stretched along the plain, their ranks ploughed by the merciless fire of the foe. I saw the dead and wounded, among them some of New-Hampshire's gallant sons, borne back on tile shoulders of their comrades in battle, and laid tenderly down in the hospitals prepared for their reception, in the houses on either side of the street as far as human habitations extended.

Officers who have witnessed most of the imposing scenes of the war, say that the cannonading at that time was the loudest they ever heard, except at Malvern Hill. It was difficult to mark the distinct reports. I attempted to count the guns by the watch for a minute, but could not be sure that I counted all, as there were at times volleys, so that you could not tell whether half a dozen or a dozen had

for our army on the Rappahannock, which is distant thirteen miles. The landing has been much extended, and the crowd of steamers, tugs, and canal-boats, and long trains of cars, the clanging of locomotive-bells and blowing of whistles, suggest the rush of urgent and important business. The freight here transferred from the various vessels to the cars consists chiefly of bales of hay, sacks of corn, barrels of pork, and boxes of hard bread. There is another depot for landing supplies at Belle Plain, a few miles below and nearer the Rappahannock, where the herds of cattle consumed by the army are put ashore, and whence endless wagon-trains struggle forward with the supplies, for the movement of which a single-track railroad is inadequate. The boat was behind time in reaching Acquia Creek, and the train for the army, with which it is supposed to connect, had taken its departure. Major-General Franklin, commanding one of the grand divisions, was with us, and taking a special train,

listening silently to the heavy cannonading and sharp musketry, principally on our right, or watching the smoke, rising from the burning buildings of Fredericksburgh, directly in our front. Just after dark we moved to the river, and crossed, without opposition, the pontoon-bridge near the lower end of the city. My regiment took up its position for the night in Caroline street, one of the principal streets of the city, and threw out two companies, company B, Capt. Dodge, and company E, Captain Julien, as pickets toward the enemy. This position we occupied until Saturday morning, the two companies on picket-duty being relieved by company C, Capt. Bradley, and company G, Lieutenant Forbush commanding. At an early hour on Saturday morning, the eventful and disastrous day of the battle, we took up our position with the brigade under the hill on the bank of the river, just below the bridge which we crossed on Thursday night. Here we remained under arms the entire day, our position bei
