th Col. Kimball, commanding the Fifteenth Massachusetts regiment, when Maj. Philbrick of that regiment shouted: See the rebels! Gen. Sumner looked in the direction in which Maj. Philbrick pointed and exclaimed My God, we must get out of this! Howard's brigade was then facing toward the west. He was at once directed to face it to the southwest, but there was not time before the blow fell. French's division had not yet arrived near enough, so that the left of Sumner's Corps was not properly lank from being turned, as he states in his official report (pp. 279– 280) and by the re-forming of Sedgwick's broken division, Stonewall Jackson could not secure the results of his original advantage. In consequence of Gen. Sedgwick's wound, Gen. Howard came into the command of the division. At the Middlekauff house the roll was called and the regiment was found to have been very much reduced in numbers. Every field officer was either killed or wounded. Col. Hinks had fallen with a bulle

ts of the bugle aroused everyone to activity. The rude breakfasts were hastily eaten, the sick and disabled were hurriedly tolled off for the guard of the camp; the bustle of aides and orderlies increased, and at half past 4 the opening roar of artillery in front announced that the dread business had begun. The heavy columns of the Ninth Corps swept rapidly to the front. French moved his division to the heights of Stafford, Hancock followed close and just at dawn the gallant division of Howard moved up. Word that the Engineers had succeeded in laying the bridges below the city and that Franklin and Hooker were crossing was received, but the bridge over which the Third Brigade was to cross could not be laid in time. About two hours before daylight the brigade marched down to the river bank, and found but a small section of the bridge laid. There was about an inch of snow on the ground and the fog was so dense that it was impossible to see across the river. The Nineteenth Mass

nd too well posted so that the men were driven back to the river. As the men of the Nineteenth fell back toward the river, the Twentieth Massachusetts marched up Fauquier street. Upon reaching Caroline street, the latter regiment wheeled to the right, but before the full line had reached the street, the enemy from their snug retreats poured such a deadly fire upon them that they were forced to retire with great loss. Over the completed bridge rushed the divisions of Hancock, French and Howard, the old Second Corps, followed by the columns of the glorious Ninth. As the men of the Nineteenth Massachusetts lay upon the bank of the river they recognized and received the plaudits of the heroes of other days. Palfrey, with the Twentieth Massachusetts, Farnham, with the First Minnesota; Owens, with his regulars; Meagher, with the Irish Brigade, the Fifteenth Massachusetts and Rickett's battery recalled the Dunker Church and the terrible cornfield at Antietam; Hancock's old brigade re

ers were received to Fall In and, as everyone was anxious to get into the fight, which they knew was soon to come, the line was quickly formed. The Ninth Corps was in advance, the Second lay in support, in line by Division,—Hancock, French and Howard. From far away upon the left came the roar of Franklin's guns, but the order to advance did not come. Sumner fumed, the fiery Hooker fretted and swore. Hancock stood leaning upon his sword, a silent statue of manly beauty, brave and true as handsome and beloved. French's red face grew redder, and Howard prayed. As the men waited, from the centre came the sound of a sputtering fire that grew momentarily louder. Hooker is engaged Why do we wait? Yet we wait! We wait! Now the Ninth Corps dresses its lines, deploys its columns, and advances. The storm bursts upon the right with dread, magnificent power. The concentric fire of many guns sweeps the heroic Ninth. They near the foot of the hill and from behind the Sunken R
