vision Commanders OF G IN. Gilb,rt upon tho battle Of
Psrryvile will establish the fact, that the revsrs:s lufft-
ed by the Grss corps was solely due to the want Of sup.
port BY the contiguous third corps Of Gen. Gilbart.-
They demonstrate beyond contradiction that tho whole
OF The latter was lyipg within short cannon range, sndi in
full view of the scene OF action during the entire BATH;
that the column Of tho enemy attacking hoCock rnarcl-
ed past LIS en.ire front thA! the enemy was enabled to

unaccoun able backward movement Of Gan Gilbtr's

reinforcemsnts. with representations OF bis precaricus
situation to Gan. Glbsrt, who, instead Of Responding
promptly, referred them TO GsnerL Buel, three miles In
the rsar; and that owing to the d1Iy thereby caused,
two brigades reinforced him only toward the end Of the
battle, AMI that after the stubborn resistance Of General
