ading as they slowly retired, and rallying in squads in every ravine and behind every hill — or hiding singly among the trees. They continued to make it very hot for our men in the advance. Night closing in too dark for pursuit, our weary soldiers bivouacked in positions from which they had driven the enemy.

Based upon the maps in the Official Records, Vol. XII., Part I., pp. 362-365. A represents the first position of Kimball's and Sullivan's brigades on the morning of March 23d. Sullivan remained to hold the Union left, while Kimball moved to the position at B, and finally to the main battle-field, F (evening of March 23d), where he joined Tyler, who had previously been in position first at C, and then at D, whence he advanced to oppose Stonewall Jackson in his flanking position at F, to which Jackson had marched by wood roads fr

on. The bewildered and uncontrollable horses wheeled about, and, dashing through the batteries, satisfied the gunners that they were charged by the enemy. To this alone I always attributed the failure on our part longer to hold the battle-field and to bring off all our guns, with few exceptions, in an orderly retreat. Most unaccountably this cavalry was not used to cover our retreat or gather the stragglers, but was peremptorily ordered to cross to the south bank of the river. See Official Records, Vol. XI., Part II., pp. 43, 223, 273, 282.--F. J. P. I never again saw their commander. At night I was called to General McClellan's headquarters, where the chiefs of corps, or their representatives, were gathered. The commanding general, after hearing full reports, was of the opinion that the final result would be disastrous if we undertook longer to hold the north bank of the river with my command in the condition in which it was left by a hard fight and the loss of rest for two

And that was just when the cavalry did go in and give confidence to the three batteries on the left, and the saving work was done. I have examined the Official Records and found reports of about twenty batteries engaged in the battle, and the above is the only mention of the cavalry fugitives to be found in them; their loss

Porter says that the force opposed to General Holmes consisted of Warren's brigade and the Eleventh U. S. Infantry; in all, 1500 infantry and 30 pieces of artillery. Here was afforded an example of the proneness to overestimate the number of troops opposed to us. The Federals reported Holmes to have 25,000 men, and he thought himself confronted by a large part of McClellan's army. That night he fell back to a stronger position, Half a mile below the upper gate at Curl's Neck. (See Official Records, Vol. XI., Part II., p. 908.)--D. H.

The guns and caissons, General Porter states, were afterward abandoned by the Federals. General Holmes occupied the extreme Confederate right the next day, July 1st, but he took no part in the attack upon Malvern Hill, believing, as he says in his official report, that it was out of the ques

gion around Richmond, the lack of proper nourishment, the want of rest, combined with the excitement of the change of base, and the midsummer heat prostrated great numbers. In my notes written at the time, it is stated that 50 of the regiment, about 15 per cent of the duty men, were sick in the camp hospital July 24th. This was in addition to the casualties of 162 sustained in the Seven days. According to the report of Surgeon Jonathan Letterman, Medical Director (Vol. XI., Part I., Official Records, pp. 210-220), about 6000 sick were sent away soon after the army reached Harrison's Landing, over 12,000 remaining in camp. On July 30th, the report says, there were 12,000 sick with the army, and of these only 2000 were able to take the field. Fortunately the Sanitary Commission hastened to our relief with tents, food, medical supplies, and competent nurses. After the departure of Stuart from Westover, July 4th, the army did not see or hear the enemy, with a slight exception, unt

ear-guard was made his command and consisted of his regiment of Heintzelman's corps, First Brigade of Regular Infantry, consisting of the 3d, 4th, 12th, and 14th Infantry, of Porter's corps, and the New York Chasseurs, of Keyes's corps. The Official Records, Vol. XI., Part II., p. 235, confirm this statement. In the same volume, p. 193, will be found Keyes's official report, but no mention of Averell. In fact, Averell was the rear-guard to Turkey Bridge and a mile beyond that point, where hes that it was General Averell who commanded the rear-guard, and that to Averell, and not to Keyes, belongs the credit which General McClellan gives the latter in his article. Mr. Smith cites authorities for his statements, and refers to the Official Records of the Rebellion, Vol. XI., Part II., p. 235, and to my report, p. 193, same volume, in which he says there is no mention of Averell. It is not unreasonable to suppose that Mr. Smith had read General McClellan's and my reports, since he re

and of the Army of Virginia, which consisted of the three corps above named, which numbered as follows: Fremont's corps, 11,500; Banks's corps, 8000, and McDowell's corps, 18,500,--in all, 38,000 men. On the 27th of June, according to the Official Records, the strength of the Army of Virginia appears to have been about as follows: Headquarters, 200; Sigel's corps (Fremont's), 13,200; Banks's, 12,100; McDowell's, 19,300; cavalry, 5800.

These orders to Sigel are not found in the Official Records, but they correspond with the orders given to Kearny and Heintzelman at 9:50 and 10 P. M., on the 28th. General Sigel says he received them during the night, made his preparations at night, and formed in order of battle at daybreak. Such of

The losses sustained by Longstreet's corps are reported ( Official Records, Vol. XII., Pt. II., p. 568) as 663 killed, 4016 wounded, and 46 missing, in all 4725. Jackson reported his losses at 805 killed, 3547 wounded, and 35 missing, or a total of 4387 ( Official Records, Vol. XII., Pt. II., p. 648), but the reOfficial Records, Vol. XII., Pt.

Unquestionably the casualties given in these tables for both armies are too small, but they are the nearest approximation attainable from the records. It is impossible to comp
