or, the quaint portraiture of Ichabod Crane, the schoolmaster of Sleepy Hollow. He passed by the name of William Walker. He professed to be a spy, employed by Gen. Hooker on very secret service, frequenting the Rebel camps to pick up information, and claimed to have saved our camp from a surprise, early in the spring, by giving th returned in a half hour reporting a false alarm. It arose, as we ascertained in the morning, from three or four cavalrymen who had strayed from a detachment of Hooker's army and lain down by the wall to sleep. We treated them to a good breakfast, and from them received our first reliable news of the great invasion. Soon after, men from Edwards Ferry reported the Army of the Potomac as crossing there. An army telegraph was being stretched past our camp, said to connect with Gen. Hooker's headquarters and we now felt safe from attack, but seemed likely to be swept into the current and borne on to the great battle which all felt must soon be fought. Th

o the enemy's purposes being now dispelled, Gen. Hooker crossed the Potomac near Edwards Ferry, andf War and his Excellency the President. Joseph Hooker, Major-General. In regard to this gravece be relieved from the position I occupy. Joseph Hooker, Major-General./signed> The next day brought Col. Hardie to Hooker's headquarters at Frederick, with instructions relieving Hooker, and deHooker, and devolving the command on Gen. Meade, who was therewith advised that he might do as he pleased with theew parallels in history. Whatever his faults, Hooker was loved and trusted by his soldiers, who knehave voted to fight the impending battle under Hooker without the aid of French's 11,000 men, rather were to join the Army of the Potomac, that Gen. Hooker had been relieved and Gen. Meade appointed r victory or defeat, for life or death. Had Hooker been permitted to take French's troops from Mall, and McClellan, and Pope, and Burnside, and Hooker, as principals, and under the more immediate d[4 more...]

e time Kearny adopted a plain red flag to denote his division headquarters, and Hooker adopted a blue one for his headquarters. See De Peyster's Personal and Militutterfield when he was made Chief-of-Staff of the Army of the Potomac in 1863. Hooker then took up the matter, and, having done away with the Grand Divisions, divideas red, the second white, and the third blue. General Orders No. 53, issued by Hooker in May, 1863, and before me as I write, order provost marshals to arrest as strds under guard. This scheme of badges, originated by Kearny and perfected by Hooker, continued, substantially unaltered, to the close of the war. The system of heaters' flags, inaugurated by McClellan, was also much simplified and improved by Hooker. The accompanying plate shows the badges of the first four corps and the artile Eleventh and Twelfth Corps (Howard's and Slocum's), under the command of Gen. Jos. Hooker, to reinforce the Army of the Cumberland. This put Gen. Meade, in turn, o

others, to inspecting the topography of this most interesting battlefield, together with the vestiges of the contest still visible. There was the old line of works hastily thrown up by the Third Corps. Old soldiers point out the spots where the leaden and iron storm fell hottest. The spectral outlines of shattered brick walls mark what was once the Chancellor House, used early in the battle as a hospital. It will be remembered that it was while leaning against one of its columns that Gen. Hooker was stunned by a shell which struck the pillar. Around it for some distance the ground was strewn with broken muskets, cartridgeboxes, belts, belt-plates, canteens, scraps of clothing, etc., taken from the wounded or left by the flying; but the saddest spectacle of all was in the woods on our right. We counted within an area of less than ten rods square, fifty skulls upon the surface of the ground. The graves in which the remains had been buried were so shallow that the bodies were sca
