We had LAB guns in position, the larger portion
Of which we're playing upon the town.
3 said to the officer who had reported to mo
that it was impossible to build the bridges that
they must be built, and some plan must be de.
vised for getting those sharp shooters out of the
way, 90 that our men could get to work: upon
consulting with General Hunt, Chief of Artil-
lery, and Gen. Woodbury., of the Engineers, it
was agreed to al the boats with our men, run
them quickly across under FIRE, throw them on
the bank, and let them 20 up into the streets
ana houses and drive the sharpshooters away.
This plan was successfully carried out, and in
fifteen minutes after the first de tachment Of troops
nso reached the opposite bank, our men began
building the bridges, and in half an hour more
they we're completed.

Q. Do you or not consider your troops de-

A. do not; would add here, that although
ct the time ordered the column of attack to
be formed on the morning after the battle, l
thought the enemy's works could be carried
and adhered to that opinion during that day.
l afterward became convinced that that could
not have been done, owing to the great strength
OF the enemy, the time given them for re-en.
forcing. and the belief also of our officers that
it could not be done. accordingly telegraphed
to the President of the United States that I
withdrew our army because felt that the ene-
my's position could not be Carried.

CAPT II. H. HEATH, 1sr Iowa CAvALRY.-The
action of Secretary Stanton commends itself to
US in granting to Capt H. Il. Heath, of the Let
Iowa Cavalry, authority to raise a regiment of
cavalry 10 his State. Captain Il. has served in
Missouri more than year, and as soldier and
man has done our State much valuable service.
He was for about three months Provost Marshal
at Clinton, in Henry county, early in last spring,
and in that capacity is known to have proved
his ability to not only distinguish between the
loyal and disloyal but to deal rightly With those
who exhibited their proneness to secession, as
we'll as those who had arrayed themselves
against the Government. In August be fought
about three hundred of Cofee's guerrillas with
only seventy Eve men, charging them in ambush
and fiually whipping them, killing seventeen or
eighteen and wounding about thirty.6ve. In
this engagement. be lost four men, aud but ten
or twelve wounded, besides having been severe.
" wounded himself, and was reported killed
He is still suffering from wounds then received,
and has lately acted in this department as As
sis,ant Provost Marshal General Capt. Heath
il among the most meritorious officers of the
service, and We sincerely trust he will 6nd no
difficulty in raising regiment of cavalry, which
be is eminently qualified to command.-Aissouri

my, in my opinion, would not give US decl.
sive BATTLE at any place this side of Richmond;
they would defend Gordonsville until such
time as they felt they had given us Q check,
and then, with so many lines Of railroad open
to them, they would move upon Richmond or
Lynchburg; and in either case the difficulty of
following them would be very great; in con-
barees filled with provisions and forage should
be fioated to Acquis Creek, where they could be
easily landed; that materials be collected for
the reconstruction Of the wharves there, and
that all the wagons in Washington that could
possibly be spared should be filled with hard
bread and small commissary stores, and, with
a large number Of beef cattle, started down
to Fredericksburg on the road,by way Of Dunn.
fries. and that this wagon train and herd of
cattle should be preceded by pontoon train
large enough to span the Rappahanock twice;
I stated that this wagon-train could move In
perfect safety, because it would all the time
be between our army and the Potomac, or in
other words. our army would be all the time
between the enemy and that train; but at the
same time, said that if q cavalry escort could
not be furnished from Washington, would
send some Of my cavalry to guard the tram
On the 14th of November, feeling uneasy with
reference to the pontoons, IS had not neard
of their starting, l directed my Chief Engineer
to telegraph again with reference to them.
Q. To whom did he telegraph
A. He telegrsphed to Gen. Woodbury. or to
Major Spaulding; it subsequently appeared
that that was the 6rst they had ever heard OF
my wish to have the pontoon train started
down for Fredericksburg, although the author
tiles in Washington had had my plan sent to
them on the 7th of November, and it had also
been discussed BY Gen. Hslleck and Gen.

with the assistance of all my officers TO change
its pontoons from Warrenton to Fredericksburg;
and felt, indeed expected, that oil the parts
of the plau which we're to be executed in Wash.
ington would be attended to BY the officers Of
that place under the direction of the different
Departments to which those parts Of the plan
appertsn.
Q. Did you, or did you not, understand that
YOU were to be responsible for seeing that these
orders were carried out? 81
A. did not; never Unsigned for moment
that had to carry out anything that required
70 be done at w sshington. Gen. Meigs told me
distinctly several days ago, in Washington, that
he never saw my plan Of operations until show:
ed il to him on th,t day. siA'sa@ &2~t ,s~=
q. Do understand you to say in your state
ment that you expected Gen. Franklin TO carry
the point at the extreme left of the ridge in the
rear of the town, and thereby enable our troops
to storm and carry their Notifications? ~
A. did expect him to carry that point, which,
being done, would have placed our troops in the
rear of their extreme left, and which thought
at the time would shake their forces on the
ridge to such an extent that the position in front
could easily be stormed and carried.
Q. To what do you attribute bis failure to &C.
complish that!
A. To the great strength of the position and
the accumulation OF the enemy's forces there;
expected the bridges would be built in two or
three hours after they we're unloaded, which was
at about daylight; instead of that, those On the
right we're not built until o'clock in the after
noon, aud had only the means of getting across
one division over the bridges on the right.
Gen. Franklin's bridges were built about noon
aud we're held by our troops on the opposite
,snk. This gave the enemy time to accumulate
their forces, which we're stationed along the river
from Port Royal up to the battlefield, before
vas able to attack. While the men here were
unloading the bridges and putting them into the
water, the enemy's sharp-shooters opened .
very heavy FIRE from the town, aud our batteries
opened on the town with view to silencing
them.
In this manner the bridges we're built about
two thirds Of their length, at which time the
bridge builders were driven of, and had to take
shelter under the bank. Repeated efforts we're
AIDE to get these bridge-builders out to the
ends Of the bridges with the necessary mate
rials but they al failed. 1t was then reported
to me that it vas Impossible to build the bridges
under that fire, and that the sharp shooters could
not be driven out Of the town BY the artillery.
