and Lieutenant McLaughlin, was sent to the Potomac, opposite Williamsport, Md., where the Federals were expected to cross the river. This section after a few days returned to Harper's Ferry and rejoined the rest of the company. During the time from the mustering at Staunton (say 11th May) to that of the mustering at Camp Stevens, the following members joined the company: May 15th, John Livingston Massie; on 17th, Francis K. Nelson; the 22d, William M. Brown; 27th, Daniel Blain; and on 3d June, William F. Singleton, all of whom joined it at Harper's Ferry. On the 14th June, at Winchester, Va., John M. Goul; on the 15th, Michael J. Emmet; on 17th, Nicholas H. Lewis, and 19th, Dudley S. Pendleton joined the company. On the 21st June, on the march between Winchester and Martinsburg, C. D.

General Martin sent me to Colonel Moore with an order to protect his flank by retiring his right wing to the rear. The Sixty-sixth nobly held its ground andld me that his command—Corcoran's Irish Legion from New York—had but twelve men who escaped death or wounds in that charge, our buck-shot peppering nearly all of them.

The commands of Longstreet and Ewell were put in motion on the 3d of June in the direction of Culpeper Courthouse. On the 5th of June, as soon as their march was discovered by the enemy, he threw a small force across the Rappahannock about two miles below Fredericksburg, and it was thought prudent to halt the command of General Ewell until the object of that movement could be ascertained, but the movement itself, as General Lee says in a letter dated June 7, 1863, was so devoid of concealment that he supposed that its object was to ascertain what troops remaine
