on. Hancock's corps had now been marching and fighting continuously for several days, not having had rest even at night much of the time. They were, therefore, permitted to rest during the 22d. But Warren was pushed to Harris's Store, directly west of Milford, and connected with it by a good road, and Burnside was sent to New Bethel Church. Wright's corps was still back at Guiney's Station. I issued the following order for the movement of the troops the next day: New Bethel, Va., May 22, 1864 Major-General Meade, Commanding Army of the Potomac. Direct corps commanders to hold their troops in readiness to march at five A. M. to-morrow. At that hour each command will send out cavalry and infantry on all roads to their front leading south, and ascertain, if possible, where the enemy is. If beyond the South Anna, the 5th and 6th corps will march to the forks of the road, where one branch leads to Beaver Dam Station, the other to Jericho Bridge. then south by roads reachin

t Division, on the battle-field of Resaca. The regiment remained in reserve until May 15, when it moved about one mile to the left and took position on the front in the second line of the Third Brigade, on the right of the division. Here the regiment remained under the fire of the enemy, protected by earth-works, until May 16, when the enemy having fled the previous night, the regiment started in pursuit. The pursuit was continued until May 21, 1864, during which and the following day, May 22, 1864, the regiment laid in camp making preparations for a farther advance. On the morning of May 23 the regiment again broke camp, crossed the Etowah River at Island Ford, and camped on Euharlee Creek.

Without further molestation, both corps reentered the historic bottle, which was at once carefully corked by a Confederate earth-work. Of the details of the fight sustained by the Eighteenth Corps on the 16th a few may be given. Brooks and Weitzel report that not a man was driven from their lines in front; that the enemy in falling over the telegraph wire were slaughtered like partridges. General Weitzel says, May 22d, 1864: The four regiments of Heckman's brigade were crushed by the attack, but there was no surprise on account of the fog, as the whole line was in line of battle and prepared for the shock, having several times received warning from the farm-house. The other seven regiments of my line did not move until, after they had twice repulsed the enemy with terrible slaughter,--he being piled in heaps over the telegraph wire,--they were ordered to fall back.

The regiment was favorably known in winter-quarters as well as on the field; and while encamped near Culpeper in 1864-5, the Brooklyn boys gave a series of Minstrel Entertainments, which were enjoyed and patronized by the Corps, from headquarters to the wagon train.

The loss of the Union Army, from the time it crossed the Rapidan 122,000 strong until it reached the James, was within a few men of 55,000, which was almost equal to Lee's whole force in the Wilderness. The Confederate loss is unknown, but it was certainly very much smaller. J. F. Rhodes, History of the United States, IV, 40, 447.] Headquarters Army of Potomac Sunday evening, May 22, 1864 Gen.
