crushed the enemy that day, and caused the
destruction of Lees army. But, instead OF
striking the enemy on that day, he seems to
have lost his bearings, and next morning,
when he did move, he fanked the Second
Corps and threw it into confusion and dis
order. This forced that corps across the
Plank road, threw Getty's Division COM
pletely to the rear, rendering that gallant
command completely useless, and Gen. Han
cock ordered them to retire to the works on
the Brock road, from which they had moved
to support the Second Corps in their adj
vance against Gen. Hill. We were all sorry
for the loss of Wadsworth, but cannot shut
our eyes to the fact his fatal movement was
more disastrous to the Second Corps than
all the service that his division could have
rendered on that occasion. The delay that
it caused gave time for Gen. Lopgstreet to
come up just in time to check the rout OF
Hills Corps, which had been crushed by
Gen. Hancock.
l am willing to compare the sweeping
movement of Leasures Brigade across Han
cocks front, over the same ground from
which Rices Brigade had been driven in
confusion about 10 a. M, with that of Wads-
worth's Division, of which Rice's Brigade
was a part, and let the jury decide which
rendered the greatest service on that occa-
sion.
Gems. Grant and Hancock are silent as to
the disorder caused by Rices Brigade in the
morning, but both refer to Leasure's move
ment in the afternoon as one of the best
proofs of Hancock's skill as General. l
do not claim that we drove LongstTeets
Corps, but maintain that we destroyed the
thanking formation that was so successful
in the morning by throwing their skirmish-
ers into confusion and driving them back
upon their line-of- battle, forcing them to
make the assault from the front on the
Second Corps line on the Brock road, and
relieving the latter from repetition of the
heavy line Of skirh1ishers that Gen. Long
street told me he used so successfully in the
thick brush that morning, when he drove
the Second Corps in confusion $50 our COM
rades have told u.s. behind the works on the
Brock road, and which was only saved by
the delay of Gen. Lee to follow up the
success of his Lieutenant, who had been
stricken down at an opportune moment for
us.-J. F. CARTER. Sd Nd, Dorsey's, Md.

been a soldier Of the old army and in the
recruiting service in Richmond years before.
He was then near White Oak Swamp. He
was all right, and Hill had told him about
me and the man wanted TO see me.
A few nights later had an interview with
the man and decided to trust him. l gave
him letter for Miss Van Lew and set him
to work otherwise.

we were obliged to take him to City Point.

and we heard no more of them. have al
ways asked myself whether it was put-up
job, or whether Moodey was really afraid to

Myers proved an excellent man to have,
and never seemed to fear danger. Although
four rebel scouts were prowling through
that part of the country night after night,
and knew he was down there two or three
nights week, yet he never seemed to take
any precautions against being watched by
them. We often changed our meeting
place, but that was all. We never told
Myers what Carter was doing for us.
Myers introduced to us Henry Roach, a
cousin of John Roach, the scout, who wanted

who was at work on them, and ! got Myers

Some "Hot Shot" from Comrade Carter @

Some "Hot Shot" from Comrade Carter of
the Sd Md.
OWE debt of thanks to Comrade
Richardson, of Rices Brigade, for the
- double-barreled testimony that he
produced some time ago on the sub
ject Of the Crossroads in the battle of the
Wilderness: First for knocking out CarrolPs
Brigade; and, second, for the testimony of
Capt. COwdrey, Assistant Adjutant-G General,
Of Wadworth's Division, of the Fifth Corps.
In the first place, he discredited Gen. Han
cocks report of the battle, and helps the
claims of Leasure's Brigade that they are not
impartial, but colored TO save the reputation
of the Second Corps.
He admits that Leasure's Brigade may
have been about the Crossroads, but adopts
the novel method of proving his own case
by the loss sustained by Rice's Brigade as
compared with that of Leasure's as proof of
their CONDUCT On that occasion. That will
do to tell Marines" but not old soldiers
This subject of losses in battle has been sadly
over done, and is not always proof Of val
liant conduct on the part of those engaged.
In this case ii was measure of sacrifices
and not of the services" of Rices Brigade.
who, according to Capt. Cowdrey, Assistant
Adjutant-General, advanced by the head
of column and not in line of battle in the
celebrated charge at the Crossroads. when
they arrived at the point of the works where
they had been vacated by our troops the
brigade was formed in line of battle, the
men firing as fast as they came into linen
/ would like TO know what became of that
famous oblique movement which Capt
Graham has pictured so wildly Besides,
it proves that none of the loss reported by
Rice's Brigade was sustained by them in
this comparatively tame movement by the
right flank from their position in rear Of the
Crossroads; while all the loss sustained by
Leasure's Brigade occurred in the charge
upon an enemy who had not recovered from
the disorder that always follows charge,
even if ii is successful, as all soldiers know
that the first break is not the worst when
fighting veterans but it is the rally that
must be made to meet the reserves of the
enemy that calls for the most nerve and
pluck. In this case ii was the determined
charge made by few men led by gallant
color-bearer that turned victory into defeat
before they realized the advantage they had
gained when they had captured the Cross
roads, which, if they could have held, would
have insured the defeat of Gen. Grant in his
first battle in the East.
fear that Comrade Richardson has been
misled in his report Of losses, as it no doubt
includes all that they sustained on the
Orange turnpike with the Fifth Corps on
May 5, as well as that unfortunate move
ment" of Gen. Wadsworth, when be started
through the brush to turn the flank of Gen.
Hill on the Plank road on the evening of
