ted the centre; while a little in advance and perpendicular to the cart-path on its southerly side two other companies of the California Regiment, two of the Fortysecond New York, and one of the Twentieth Massachusetts, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Wistar of the Californians, made the left wing in the line of battle. Three companies of the Twentieth Massachusetts Regiment constituted the reserve; they were opposite the centre and close to the edge of the bluff, and seven were in the fign. They came, and in a few moments officers and men were nearly destroyed: they were of the Twentieth Massachusetts. While this contest was going on in the centre, Major Kimball on the right had been obliged to fall back. On the left, Lieutenant-Colonel Wistar had been wounded, and the fight was progressing languidly on our side, being continued by detached companies. Our ammunition was giving out; some men of the Twentieth were supplying themselves from the cartridge-boxes of the slain. Th

derate capital with a cavalry raid by way of New Kent Courthouse on the Peninsula. As a diversion in favor of this enterprise, the Army of the Potomac was to make a demonstration across the Rapidan. The raiding column, under command of Brigadier-General Wistar, left New Kent Courthouse on the 5th of February, and reached the Chickahominy at Bottom's Bridge on the following day. The 7th, in obedience to orders from Washington, General Sedgwick, temporarily commanding the Army of the Potomac inositions, and considerable skirmishing took place during the day. The troops remained on the south bank until the time fixed for the termination of General Butler's movement, when they were withdrawn. The raiding scheme resulted in nothing. General Wistar found Bottom's Bridge blockaded, and after reconnoitring the position, he returned. He does not appear to have lost any thing; but the troops of the Army of the Potomac, that had the luck to be engaged in the diversion, suffered a sacrifice

e Artillery Brigade of our corps took place under the observation of Generals Meade, French, and Hunt, December 23d, and again by Gen. French, February 23d. February 6th, orders came to pack up, and the next morning we hitched in, momentarily expecting to depart, but on what errand we then knew not. It seems that Gen. Butler, believing Richmond had been stripped of its garrison to strengthen Pickett's force in North Carolina, planned a cavalry expedition against it up the Peninsula under Gen. Wistar, while as a diversion in his favor Gen. Sedgwick, then temporarily in command of the army, threw across the Rapidan two divisions of cavalry and two of the Second Corps to occupy the attention of Lee's army. As a precautionary measure for the safety of the troops thus thrown forward, we were ordered to be in readiness. It is scarcely necessary to add that the expedition came to naught; having found its way blocked at Bottom's Bridge, the troops returned to their starting-point, their fo
