gning position to the several commands in the Harper's Ferry move. This lost order has been the subject of much severe comment by Virginians who have written of the war. It was addressed to D. H. Hill, and they charged that its loss was due to him, and that the failure of the campaign was the result of the lost order. As General Hill has proved that he never received the order at his headquarters it must have been lost by some one else. See General Hill's statement on p. 570, and General Colgrove's on p. 603. The following is the text of the lost order as quoted by General McClellan in his official report: Special orders, no. 191. headquarters, Army of Northern Virginia, September 9th, 1862. The army will resume its march to-morrow, taking the Hagerstown road. General Jackson's command will form the advance, and after passing Middletown, with such portions as he may select, take the route toward Sharpsburg, cross the Potomac at the most convenient point, and by Frida

rs there were 3,613 who were over 6 feet 3 inches, and among them were some who were over 7 feet. The tallest man for whose stature the testimony is complete and unimpeachable, is Captain Van Buskirk, of the Twenty-seventh Indiana. General Silas Colgrove, formerly colonel of that regiment writes that he has frequently seen him measured and that his stature was full 82 1/2 inches, without his shoes, or 209.5 centimeters. General Colgrove adds that he was a brave man, and bore the fatiguesGeneral Colgrove adds that he was a brave man, and bore the fatigues of marching as well as most men of ordinary stature. The shortest man for whom the record is satisfactorily verified was a member of the One Hundred and Ninety-second Ohio. At the time of enlistment he was 24 years old, and 40 inches in height. Colonel F. W. Butterfield, his commanding officer, vouches for the correctness of this record. He also assures us that he knew the man well; and, that there was no soldier in his command who could endure a greater amount of fatigue and exposure.--D

. The enemy having, upon the withdrawal of Ruger's troops for reinforcement of the left wing, occupied the position on the spur, the morning of the 3d of July dawned upon an entirely different disposition of the troops on this part of the field. Geary's line, which had been along the main hill in the direction of the prolongation of the spur, was now extended and sharply refused on the ridge west of the indentation on the hill, while Ruger's troops, consisting as before of McDougall's and Colgrove's brigades, had formed in the order named, from left to right, a line slightly concave to the enemy's position, entirely south of the swale, with their left resting almost on the Baltimore Pike and their right on Rock Creek. See Map No. 19, July 3, 4.30 A. M.
