British that they broke and fled down the hill. They were rallied by Brock, and were about to ascend the heights, when their commander was mortally wounded at the foot of the hill. Wool was left master of the heights until the arrival of General Wadsworth, of the New York militia, who took the chief command. General Sheaffe, who succeeded Brock, again rallied the troops. Lieutenant-Colonel Scott had crossed the river and joined the Americans on the heights as a volunteer, and at the request of General Wadsworth he took active command. Early in the afternoon a crowd of Indians, led by John Brant, son of the great Mohawk chief, fell upon the American pickets with a horrid war-whoop. The militia were about to flee, when the towering form and trumpet-toned voice of Scott arrested their attention. He inspired the troops, now about 600 strong, to fall upon the Indians, who turned and fled in terror to the woods. General Van Rensselaer, who had come over from Lewiston, hastened

aign of 1864 It consisted of stubborn, continuous fighting, with frightful losses. of 127,471 men (O. R.). The Army of Northern Virginia had an aggregate of about 80,000 men. Geo. G. Meade, Major General Commanding. Official: Assistant Adjutant-General. To Mrs. George G. Meade: battle-field, Spottyslvania Court House, May 11—9 A. M. I have only time to tell you we are all safe—that is, George Son of General Meade. and myself—and as far as I know, all your friends, except General Wadsworth, who fell into the hands of the enemy, mortally wounded, without hopes of life. We have been fighting continuously for six days, and have gotten, I think, decidedly the better of the enemy, tough their resistance is most stubborn. Return thanks to the Almighty for the gracious protection extended to us, and let us try to deserve its continuance. I am quite well and in good spirits, and hope we shall continue to be successful and bring this unhappy war to an honorable close. <

this duty, if it was determined upon, and laid before them the precise condition of affairs. Question: Will you, as you pass along, give us the names of those corps commanders in that council? Answer: The 1st corps was represented by General Wadsworth; General Newton, who commanded the corps, being sick at the time. The 2d corps was commanded, I think, by General William Hays; the 3d by General French; the 5th by General Sykes; the 6th by General Sedgwick; the 11th by General Howard, any attack without further examination. I cannot state positively what each individual vote was without referring to my papers. But I am now under the impression that there were but two officers decidedly in favor of attacking; I think that General Wadsworth and General Howard were the only two in favor of attacking, while all the rest were opposed to it. In view of this opinion of my subordinate officers I yielded, or abstained from ordering an assault, but gave the necessary directions fo
