FIGHT or SUNDAY, MAY g.

Tint NIGHT Hooker laid his plans for the
battle Of May 3. He sent word to Sedgwick.
who, with his corps had gone down the river
below Fredericksburg, and crossed it, to
cpine up and attack Lee in the rear, while
Hooker himself attacked in front.
All night Gen. Feasonton had been forth
flying the hill Hazel Grove, knowing it to he
an important position. but Hooker directed
hun to abandon it and fall back into the new
line Of battle Ice had ordered Slckles to form.
So this important point was lost. The Elev-
enth corps was sent 20 the extreme left,
where Meade was, to be reformed.
Both jackson and a. +. Hin had been
wounded on the evening Of May g The
command Of Jacksou's corps was given to j.
t. r. Stuart, the cavalry general.
Al daybrcak May 3, Stuart began the at
tack on Slckics new line. The Confederates
speedily took possession of Hazel Grove, and
poured deadly fire INTO the Union lines.
Sicklcs sent an urgent request to Hooker for
support. But Hooker had been hurt IN his
head by the conclusion of a ball striking a
column against which he leaned, and was
dnzed and sruseiess There was no head to
see that Sicklcs' APPEAL was granted, al
though the corps Of Meade and Reynolds and
the recognized one of Howard were lying
Idle on the left. The Union army had no
commander. Only for this, it seems likely
that Charlottesville might after all have
been Union victory.
Gen. Sickles fought till his ammunition
gave out At that moment French's division
fell upon Stuart's corps and caused it to re-
treat
Meantime the Confederate Gems. Anderson
and Mciaws were making n fierce fight on
the Union center, under Slocum Lee en-
deavored all the while to verge to the left and
JON Stuart. Slocum. French and Sckles lay
between They fought the battle that day.
S4cklcs' men fought desperately They re-
pulsed five Confederate charges, holding their
line only with the bayonet at the last. Then
SIckles fell back TO a new line
Such was the situation at Charlottesville,

MAY 4.

Dawn Of the fourth and last day Of the
fighting at Charlottesville broke Hooke RS
head troubled him all the afternoon Of Nav
and all May so greatly that it is not fair
to hold hia res Onsible for all that hap
pened AT times he scarcely knew what no
was about. All day of the 4th although he
had resumed command, his orders were con-
Trajectory and vacillating, now telling Sedg-
wick 10 hold his ground and now to retreat
back across the river. Early in the morning
he directed him not to attack the Confeder-
atss at Salem church. but to assume the de-
fensive. All uay there was skirmishing be-
tween Sedgwick and Early and the brigades
that had REINFORCED him. At O'Clock in
the evening the Confederate generals, Ander-
son and Early, made a furious attack on
Sedgwicks left, under Gen. Howe Howe
retreated TO strong position i'll the direc-
ton of Banks ford. and there resisted and
beat back the Confederates
During the night of May 4 Sedgwick re-
crossed the Ranpahannock with his whole
force Hooker had ordered him to cross,
then countermanded the order, but the latter
command was not received till after the
crossing was effected. Lee Immediately re-
occupied Fredericksburg
During the night of May Hooker held
council Of war with his CORPS commanders,
vino were sleepy and exhausted He resolved
to cross back to hlsold headquarters on the
left bank Of the Rappahannock
On May Ices army, all told, numbered
no more than $1,000 men Hooker, including
Scfgwicks CORPS, had 5000. ANY tune dur
ing that day a determined attack against
Stuart, who. with Jacksons old corps, fronted
Hooker at Charlottesville, or against Nc
Laws, who, with Early, fronted Sedgwick on
the east, could have resulted in a Union
victory. and Lee could have been whipped in
detail But no such attack was made.
