superiors which he required of those under his command, and those who knew him most intimately assert that under that mantle of sternness beat one of the warmest of hearts. He, too, was a thoroughly brave man in action, and never cooler than in his last battle. The following synopsis of Gen. Hancock's report of this movement will throw light over much of the foregoing: Gibbon's Division, commanded by Egan, and Mott's Division were withdrawn from the intrenchments on the morning of the 25th, and massed in the rear.

ght when we were aroused, and ordered to limber up preparatory to moving out. As we had expected to remain on the field and renew the contest next morning, this was an unlooked for order, but retracing our way through Where the Battery stood Oct. 27, 1864 mire and water, we emerged at Yellow Tavern just as the sun was breaking through the clouds.

Our total loss was two officers mortally wounded, one private killed and two wounded, and seven horses shot. Cornelius McAuliffe was thrown from a caisson on the return march, resulting in the breaking of one of his legs. Lieut. Granger died in the hospital at City Point, October
