A CRITICAL REVIEW.

The simple recital have made of the
operations attending the battle of Chan
cellorsville will have served to reveal the
extraordinary character of that action
which. opening with an exhibition of grand
tactics marked by mastery skill, sank into
conduct so feeble and faulty, as to be
almost beneath criticism.
]. II is in war as in life a single false
step often involves an endless train of
swift-succeedng misfortune. This false
step in the conduct of Hooker was that,
having started out to fight an offensive bat
tie. he reduced himself. at the very mo-
ment when action was above all impera-
tive, to a perilous defensive. The strategic
operation of crossing the Rappahannock
merits all the praise it has received. 1t
was accomplished with complete success,
and resulted in placing at aChancellorsville
on the night Of Thursday. April 80 four
corps. in position on the rear of the
left Of the Confederate defensive line,
with Lees forces scattered down the Rap
pahannock. distance of % miles. All the
enemy between Hooker and Fredericks-
burg was mere handful of a division.
Then was the moment for bold
initiative on the part of Hooker.
Then was the time for vigorous impulse
and fiery action before his opponent re-
covered himself BY what prompting of
chivalrous generosity, rare in war-and
eclipsing forever the conduct of the com
mander of the English Guards, who at
Fontenoy insisted on the French deliv-
ering the first fire-was it that i'm this
situation he voluntarily resigned all the
advantage of the surprise. and allowed Lee
~ hours to concentrate against him?
DEADLY DELAY.
2. That delay at Charlottesville from
Thursday afternoon. till Saturday after
noon undid all that had been accomplished.
1t is true that the Wilderness is a region
unfavorable for manuvering a large army;
but 1t was as bad for Lee as for Hooker,
and the latter is estopped from availing
himself of this excuse by his own order,
in which he declared it to be ground of
his own selection" Besides, this objec-
ton wholly disappears 10 face of the fact
that the reconnoissances of Friday, May
!, showed he might have pushed out beyond
the woods, thus uncOvering Bankss Ford,
reducing the line of communications by
II miles. and practically uniting both his
wings. 10 the special wonder" of all the

AT A DEADLOCK.

Monday. May 4. found both armies, and
the opposing halves of each army, in a
curious deadlock. Hooker had assumed
strictly defensive attitude in his new
line Lee felt unable to attack with less
than his whole force, which could not be
concentrated until he was relieved of the
danger that menaced his rear in the per-
son of Sedgwick (52) Sedgwick, on the
other hand, while able to hold his own.
was unable to advance in face of the Op-
position he encountered. This was now not
lessened but rather increased, for Gen.
Early on Monday morning retook the
nights of Fredericksburg. thus cutting off
Sedgwick from communication with that
place, and envelOping him on three sides.
sEDGwIcK DRIVEN ACROSS THE RIVER.
To cut this knot, Lee resolved to further
reenforce the troops opposed to Sedgwick
and drive him across the Rappahannock,
thus eliminating from the problem one i'm
rortant factor. Accordingly, on Monday
morning Anderson was directed to proceed
with his remaining three brigades to Join
McLaws. (33) Reaching Salem Hights
about noon, he threw his force around on
Sedgwick's left. with the view of cutting
his command off from the river. The Con-
federates, however, met considerable de-
lay In getting into position. and the at
tack was not begun till 6 o'clock, when il
was made with great impetuosity-Sedg-
wick resisting with the utmost stubborn
ness. but forced to yield ground, especially
on the left. Happily, darkness soon en-
sued TO prevent the enemy's following up
his advantage. and, under cover Of night.
Sedgwick safely withdrew his corps across
the RappahannOck at Banks's Ford. where
a pontoon bridge had been laid the day
before.
HOOKER ESCAPED IN THE NIGHT.
Thus it was that Lee on Tuesday morn
ing inlay - saw himself relieved from,
this menace in his rear; and having now
but a single foe to cope with, he promptly
recalled the divisions of McLaws and An.
derson, united them with his main force AT
Charlottesville, and resolved to give the
remaining section of the Union army the
coup de grace. Preparations were made
