THE VALUE OP DISCIPLINE.


lin the battle OF Fredericksburg, Gen. Sykes,
M Brigade, (reguiars,) then under command Of
Naj. Andrews, was ordered to take particu-
iaT position at midnight preceding the terrible
engagement, and to hold il st all hazards 1t
crossed the river, arrived at the point, and the
whole command were ordered to lie upon the
ground. At daybreak the cause of this last Or
der became apparent. The brigade was within
eighty yards OF stone wall, behind which
were stationed the Rebel sharp shooters, and not
far behind them thirty six Rebel cannon, en-
tirely commanding the position thus occu-
pied by our troops if they stood up. They
were protected (layins DOWN by a ridge i'm
mediately in their front, hardly higher than
that thrown up by deep wagon rut. As long
as they laid perfectly still 1t was, however, a
sufficient cover for them. Thus the brigade
Held the position for twenty.four hours, not
firing gun, but suffering to the extent Of ONE
tenth the whole number killed and wounded
by the rebel sharpshooters, who picked of
every man Of them raising his person but high
enough to permit him even 10 light pipe. The
discipline and sallantry thus shown by this
brigade is we'll nigh unexamplsd in the history
OF modern warfare.
