Headquarters U. . Forces, Ringgold, Ga., May 2, 1864.
General: In obedience to your orders I sent General Kilpatrick out this morning upon the Tunnel Hill road.
I likewise sent Colonel Van Derveer with his brigade to support him. Before starting I posted General Turchin in front of the gap, with a portion of the Third Brigade, and directing him to take charge of matters here, accompanied the column myself.
General Kilpatrick drove the outposts of the enemy without great opposition from their ordinary positions to Tunnel Hill, and he himself immediately reached the crest this side of the village, at Smith's house, which is almost within musket range of the town.
From this point he sent back word that the enemy had deployed himself in large force beyond the village and on Tunnel Hill ridge, and asked for the assistance of the infantry, as he might otherwise find it difficult to withdraw h

On the 2d of May, 1864, a group of officers stood at the Confederate signal station on Clark's Mountain, Virginia, south of the Rapidan, and examined closely through their field-glasses the position of the Federal army then lying north of the river in Culpeper county.
The central figure of the group was the commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, who had requested his corps and division commanders to meet him there.
Though some demonstrations had been made in the direction of the upper fords, General Lee expressed the opinion that the Federal army would cross the river at Germanna or Ely's. Thirty-six hours later General Meade's army, General Grant, now commander-in-chief, being with it, commenced its march to the crossings indicated by General Lee.
The Army of the Potomac, which had now commenced its march toward Richmond, was more powerful in numbers than at any previous period of the war. It cons
