with three corps-Porter's in the advance
to follow up rapidly on the Warrenton
turnpike, and "press the enemy vigorously
during the whole day." But no sooner
were the troops put in motion to make this
pursuit OF supposed flying foe, than the
Confederates, hitherto concealed in the
forest in front Of Porter, uncovered them
selves, and opened heavy fire from their
numerous artillery; (28 and while King 8

is quite obvious that this disposition Gov
cred Porter's whole front, and that it
barred his approach to Gainesville. Any
attack by Porter would therefore neces-
ceiyed Pope's order to attack the enemy's
right and turn his rear, Morelps Division
was already deployed in front of Long
street. and 1t was near dark when the or
der came to hand. Probably there is no
military man who will now say that the
operation indicated by Pope was at that
time possible. Gen. Porter many months
subsequent to these events, and after hav-
ing in the meanwhile had command Of the
forces for the defense OF the Capital, and
been at the head Of his corps at the battle
or Antietam, was arraigned before q
court-martial at Washington and dismissed
from the service Of the United States, fol
alleged disobedience to the above orders
OF Pope. l do not constitute myself the
champion Of Gen. Porter, or Of any other
officer; but having become possessed of the
Confederate Official reports, and having
been struck with the new light thrown on
these events by the unconscious testimony
given above by the Confederate Generals
I should have violated the first duty OF q
historian had suppressed these facts.

right of the Confederate line. Towards
d. when he thought Porter should be COM
ing into action, he directed HeintZelman
and Reno to assault the enemy's left. The
attack was made with vigor, especially by
Kearny, who struck Jackson's left under
Hill, at moment when the Confederates
had almost exhausted their ammunition.
(25) Doubling up Hills flank on his center,
kearny seized the railroad embankment
and that part of the field of battle. This,
as kearny says, ''presaged a victory for
us all. Still" he goes on to observe, "Our
force was too light. The enemy brought
up rapidly heavy reserves, SO that our
further progress was impeded."(26) In
fact, kearny was compelled TO fall back
altogether from the railroad, and the
''presage Of victory" was turned to
naught. (26a)
Turning now to the left, where Porter
was to have assailed the Confederate
right, it appears that the order which
The National tribune., 1904-03-17


ing his contemplated attack on Pope's
left, gave the impression that the Confed-
crates were retreating up the Warrenton
turnpike toward Gainesville. This i'm
preston was further strengthened by the
report Of a wounded Confederate soldier
who fell into the hands Of the Union pick
cts, and reported that he had heard his
comrades say that Jackson was retiring
to unite with Longstreet." Now this
statement was quite correct in the sense
in which Lees manuyers have already
been presented-that is, as a tactical
change OF Jackson's position on the left
to REINFORCE Longstreet on the right But
Pope, who had not that day been to the
front, accepted the story as indicating a
real failing back, and telegraphed to
Washington that the enemy was retrea ting

people a few hours, at least, of unmixed
pleasure.

treat Of Lee, Pope ordered Mcdowell

whereas at Manassas Lee was sure 70 re-
ceive fresh accessions of force, while rope
could hope for none. The army was mucI
cut up: thousands had struggled from their
commands; the troops had had little TO
eat for two days previously; the artillery
and cavalry horses had been in harness
and saddled continually for lO days.
SECOND DAYS ODD MANUvERs.
With untimely obstinacy, Pope deter
mined to remain and again try the issue
Of battle. To utilize Porter's Corps, ne
drew it over from the isolated position IL
had held the previous day to the Warren
ton road, on which he pivoted, dlspos1hs

and Porter, Sigel, and Reno the right.
with Heintzelmans two divisions ho!d-
ing the extreme right. Lee retained the
same relative position he had he'd the day
on the right and Jack
son on the left; but he drew back ms le1t
considerably, abandoning during the night
some Of the ground he had held on that
flank.
Now, by one Of those curious conlunce--
lures which sometimes occur in battle, II
SO was that the opposing commanders had
that day formed each the same resolution:
Pope had determined to attack Lees left
flank, and Lee had determined to attack
Pope's left flank. And thus it came about
that when Heintzelman pushed forward to
feel the enemy's left, the refusal of that
flank by Lee, and his withdrawal Of
troops to his right for the purpose OF max
