crossed to the south bank of the Po and joined Barlow. Barlow was half a mile south of his bridges. His left, composed of Miles's and Smyth's brigades, was along the Shady Grove road, facing south, their left rested at the bridge. Brooke's and Brown's brigades were in front, or south of the Shady Grove road. North-east, and to their rear one and a half miles, Field's guns were planted in intrenchments, sweeping the ground behind them and covering the pontoon-bridge over the Po. Hancock drew back Brooke and Brown to the right and to the rear; and then Miles and Smyth retired to the crest south of the pontoon-bridges. Relative positions of the opposing Corps at Spotsylvania, May 8-21, 1864. These troops formed a tete-du-pont facing south. Heth's division, of Hill's corps, attacked the two right brigades with vigor, but was twice repulsed. The Union loss was very heavy.

ieve. The force of the balls can be imagined when I say that the bucket was made of one-eighth-inch iron. One curious circumstance on the morning we captured the works [May 12th] was, that musketry shots seemed to make such a slight noise; instead of the sharp bing of the shot, it was a dull thud. This may have been an important aid to our success, as the [first] firing of the enemy's skirmishers did not alarm their men in the breastworks. G. N. G.

This staggered the apparently exultant enemy.

Hardee was requested to send Granbury's Texan brigade to the help of our people, and to take command there himself. These accessions soon decided the contest, and the enemy was driven down the hill. A. sharp engagement was occurring at the same time on the crest of the mountain, where our right and center joined, between Pettus's brigade holding that point and troops of the Fourth Corps attacking it. The assailants were repulsed, however. The vigor of this attack suggested the addition of Brown's brigade to Pettus's. On the 9th a much larger force assailed the troops at the angle, and with great determination, but the Federal troops were defeated with a loss proportionate to their courage. Assaults as vigorous and resolute were made at the same time on Stewart and on Bate, and were handsomely repulsed. The Confederates, who fought under cover, had but trifling losses in these combats, but the Federal troops, fully exposed, must have lost heavily — the more because American sol

pril, 1885, General Cheatham, in an article dated November 30th, 1881, says, in reply to the above paragraph: General John C. Brown states that at or near Bear Creek the commanding general, apprehending an attack on our left flank, ordered your rom that point, to move in two parallel columns, so that it could come instantly into action in two lines of battle. General Brown's division marched five or six miles through fields an(d woods and over rough ground some four hundred yards to the right of the road, necessarily causing more or less delay. General Brown further states that about the commencement of this movement, or soon afterward, by the orders of the commanding general in person, the whole of Gist's and about one-half of Stresboro' in rear of our right, with about eight thousand men, heavily intrenched. General Bate's division and Sears's and Brown's brigades were ordered, on the 5th, to report at that point to General Forrest, who was instructed to watch closely that

[See p. 432.] As soon aing toward Cleburne's right, and just then General Brown's division had come up. I thereupon ordered Brown to proceed to the right, turn the range of hills over which Cleburne and Bate had crossed, to the right of Cleburne. The division of General Brown was in motion to execute this order, when d a half miles south of Spring Hill. After Brown had reached the position indicated to him and t. Going to the right of my line, I found Generals Brown and Cleburne, and the latter reported thatse I had been along my line, and had seen that Brown's right was outflanked several hundred yards. t I intended to move forward with Cleburne and Brown and make the attack, knowing that Bate would be until dusk. If General Stewart had followed Brown he would have been in position on my right, ac[3 more...]

. Hood. That they were not successful, especially as the other two divisions of the same corps, Brown's and Bate's, were close at hand, and Stewart's corps not far off, seems unaccountable. Breve whom would have been madness, and to avoid whom would have been impossible. Why Cleburne and Brown failed to drive away Stanley's one division before dark; why Bate failed to possess himself of t They had no tools to throw up works; and when struck by the resistless sweep of Cleburne's and Brown's divisions, they had only to make their way, as best they could, back to the works. In that wius made, without an instant's delay, swarmed the jubilant Confederates, urged on by Cleburne and Brown, and took possession of both works and guns. For a moment it looked as though these two enterprnd Granbury were killed near the pike. On the west of the pike Strahl and Gist were killed, and Brown was severely wounded. General G. W. Gordon was captured by Opdycke's brigade, inside the works.
