and was the first military commander Of the
City OF Mexico after its capture. Then he

Union army in 1851, he became a brigadier
general. He fought all through the war, and
became military governor Of Savannah on
its capture by Sherman. After the war.
true to his fate, he was elected governor of
pennsylvania. This was in 1867. He was
reelected. In 1873, while still serving as
governor, Gen. Geary died suddenly.

MAY 2.

On the morning of May Q the Union army
occupied around Charlottesville what Gen.
Doubleday describes as "a plain covered by
dense thickets," with clearings in front Of
the few houses. South of them were the hills
OF Fairview and Hazel Grove. The latter
was an important strategic position. These
hills terminated in a deep rayine. Various
small streams running through broken RAJ
vines lay between the two armies. AS
Hooker and Lee now faced each other,
Hooker was on the west. Lee on the east.
The ground held by the Confederates was

to draw attention away from tho movement

of May |, Hancock was still somewhat in adj
vance of the main Union line, and his divls-
ion of Gen. COUGHS corps received the heav-
lest fire.
jackson had endeavored to conceal his
movement south and west around the Union
army. He was seen, however, as his troops
crossed n hill toward the south What did
it mean. Either the ConfederateS were re-
treating southwark or else they were going
to attack the Eleventh corps Accordingly
Hooker sent an order addressed to "Maj.
Gen. Slocum and Maj. Gen. Howard" direct
ing them to prepare for the possibility of an
attack OF the right flank. In the order
occurs these words:
1.-THE right of your line does not appear to
be strong enough. No artificial defenses
worth naming have been thrown up and
there APPEARS to be a scarcity OF troops at
that point"
Gen. SickIes went out end shelled Jack
sons corps and drove it to another road.
Then Sickics asked and got leave to attack
tho apparently retreating corps and cut it oiS
from the main body. Two divisions were
given to him, that Of Birney in the advance.
1t was now past moo of Saturday, May 2.
Sickles ollowed on through the swamps to
the road which Jackson was pursuing, build
ing bridges as he went. Berdan'S sharp
shooters captured n Georgia regiment that
had been lett to guard the Confederate rear.
From the Georgians 1t was learned that
whatever else Stonewall Jackson was doing
he was not retreating.
Sickles wished, after separating Jackson
from the main Confederate army. to fall
upon the left iank Of the latter, where An
derson's and McLaws' divisions were, and
make a sharp attack.
Among Union soldiers who distinguished
themselves CALAMITY at Charlottesville was
Maj. Gen. DAME L. Sickles, commanding
the Third corps. He was one OF the few officers
not received a military education. Gen.
Sickles was born in New York city In 1921,
and early i'll life learned the printers trade.
He afterward studied law, and engaged in
political life He entered the Union army at
the beginning OF the war. When the war
closed Gen. Sickies had left d leg upon the
battlefield. He was long minister to Spain
after the war. and married a Spanish lady.

Gen. Pleasonton was sent forward with his
cavalry to overt2Ge Jackson with his Con
federate corps. vale Sickles talried to at
tack Mc1aws and Anderson On Lees left

attack, and so Sickles' corrs waited, doing
nothing.
Pleasonton attempted to pursue Jackson,
but found he could ma o no progress through
the thicketS. He came back accordingly,
and took position on the elevation known as
Hazel Grove, before mentioned He had.

professor OF applied mechanics In that school.
1t is to be observed that at the commence
ment OF the war both Rodes and Stonewall
jackson were professors in the Virginia Mill
tary institute. Both took the field for the
Confederacy, both rose to be distinguished
generals, both took important part in the
fight of Charlottesville, and both were
killed in battle, Jackson at Charlottesville
and Rodes at Winchester in the autumn of
1864. At the battle of charlottesville
Rodes, still a brigadier general, commanded
u. H.. Hills division. It was Rodes, division
that finally broke the Union line at Chancal-
louisville. 1T was his gallant charge with
his clarion shout: FORWARD men, over
friend or foe,' that broke the enemy's line.n
jackson saw this gallant charge and said:

ELEVENTH CORPS ROUTED.

As he returned to Hazel Grove, be SAYS he
heard ''spattering shots going more and
more to the northwest" By the time be
climbed the hill at Hazel Grove be saw the
eleventh corps In full flight, panic stricken
beyond description" They were rushing
madly into u swamp to the rear Of Hazel
Grove, horses, cattle, men, mules and wagons
all together. when the fight was over the
pile of debris was many feet high writes
Gen. Pleasonton in The Century.
Maj. Peter Keenan, was at Hazel Grove
with the Eighth Pennsylvania cavalry.
A moment Gen. Pleasonton paused for
thought; then he ordered Maj. keenan, to
charge into the woods with his single regi-
ment and hold Jackson's whole victorious
corps in check till he himself should be
able to place some artillery. Pleasonton
had with him at Hazel Grove two cavalry
regiments, already in saddle, and a bat
terry of horse artillery. The heroic Kee-
nan gave n glance at the prospect before him.
He, with a single regiment, was to hold In
check a victorious pursuing army of 26, 900.
He smiled sadly, realizing that the task was
almost certain death. Then he said: Gen
eral, 1 will do it," and moved off without a
word more.

thickets of Charlottesville a few minutes

But his brief work had been of inestimabls
worth. During the few moments that occu-
pied the Confederates in moving down the
Eighth Pennsylvania cavalry, Pleasonton
had been able to get twenty-five guns, double
loaded with canister, mo position.
On came the Confederates like a tidal wave
OF destruction. They were flying a United
States flag, and Pleasonton was at first I'M
certain whether they were friends or enc
mics. He said to Maj. Thomson, of his staff:

Charlottesville.
The roads from Charlottesville toward
Fredericksburg run slightly north of east
ward. Along these Hoo..er's columns moved,
facing eastward, toward. the Rappahannock
n Fredericksburg On the ma the situa-
ton will be seen. Banks ford was one Of
Hooker's objective points.
Bravely the four columns moved out.
Slocum's column was on the right, and
nearest fredericksburg. Sykes was next,
while a part of Meade's corps occupied the
left, and followed what was called the river
road, leading to Banks ford. French's col
uIn had been sent further south, so thatSykeS'
column was to be regarded as the center. The
left and right advanced several miles along
their forward route without meeting all
enemy. But, a mile out from Chancellors-
vile, Sykes .avalry encountered the Con-
federate advance. 1t was q part of Mahone's
brigade, and here the first gun of tue battle
OF Charlottesville was fred. Sykes cavalry
was driven back to the main line.
Sykes still pressed On till he had advanced
two miles and a half east of Charlottesville.
There he met McLaws' and Anderson's Com

vision. The roads toward fredericksburg
spread apart here, and Sykes was in advance
of the other Federal columns There was some
sharp fighting, OF which Sykes began to get
the worst. The Cuntelerates fanked him.
Sykes then fell back behind Hancock1s divis-
ion. which was Immediately in his rear.
Hancock advanced to the front. By this
time Slocum had come up and Immediately
formed on the right. Slocum's right held q
commanding position on high ground. Rv
that time, too, the Federal left had advanced
till it was in sight of Banks ford and the
Rappahannock.
But exactly at this point, with Hancock

gave the order that the columnss should retreat
back to the positions they had occupied be-
fore setting out. He determined to wait Lees
attack instead of attacking him, assuming
the defensive instead of the offensive, with
which he had set out, thus reversing his
tactics in the face OF the enemy. He gave AS
the chief reason for this that his army had to
come in narrow columns through the forest
road, while Lee, with full line Of battle. was |
advancing in the clearing to meet him. II

TAIL" said Hooker afterward. So night
found the Union army back at Chancellors-
vile.
But his chief engineer, Gen. G. z. Warren,
testified: 1.-THE advantages of the initiative
in a wooded country like this, obscuring all
movements, are incalculable, and SO far we
had improved them" Warren also thought
the ridge occupied by Hancock when the
order to retreat was given, was a command
ing position for the offensive. But the order
to retreat was given; there was nothing to do
but obey it.

A line OF their works faced toward Jeckson's

possession of this, the Confederates hurried
Oh, on after the flying Union men. Chan

he had only half an hour more of daylight be
