shall in this note indicate some details
of the action from day to day.
May 13.-The battle of the 18th having
ended in Lees retirement to an inner and
shorter line. it was resolved to attempt to
turn his right flank. With this view, the
Fifth Corps, during the night of the 18th,
was ordered to march from its position on
the extreme right, take post on the extreme
left, to the left of Burnside's Corps. and
a. m. on the 14th. The march was be-
gun at 10 p. m. The wet weather had,
however, badly broken up the roads; and
the night being one of Egyptian darkness,
the move was made with immense difficulty
The route of march was past the Landrum
House (see map to the Ny River which
had to be waded. Across the Ny the route
followed no road. but traversed the fields
and a piece of woods where a track had
been cut. Here, midway of the journey, a
dense fog arose and covered the ground, SO
that not even the numerous fires that had
been built to guide the column could be
seen. The men, exhausted with wading
through the mud knee-deep and i'm the dark
ness, fell asleep all along the way. In addi-
ton to this, the locality where the troops
were TO take position was quite Unknown:
and at broad daylight, when T.. 'tad of
the column got to the left lies

crates quickly rallied on their reserves, and
| assuming the offensive, threw back thelI
pursuers on the captured line: but Han.
cocks men, forming on the right and left
of the angle of works, resisted the attempt
| to dislOdge them from the position won
Yet its tenure demanded all the force that
could be brought up, for the Confederates,
reinforced by heavy masses, began an I'M
petuOus assault to retake the lost line: Sc

the Sixth Corps reached the ground and
relieved the Second Corps from the salient

on the left of the angle.
LEE MADE FIVE FUTILE ASSAULTS.
The weight of the pressure brought to
line led to the inference that the concentra-
tion against the Second and the Sixth
Corps must be -at the expense of a. Dreduc-
ton of force in front of the rest of the
army-that is, against Burnside on the left,
and against Warren on the right-and at
8 o'clock these officers were ordered to
make a general attack, both to take advan-
tage of the supposed diminution of the
force in their front, and to relieve Han
cock and Wright. The assault was made
as directed, but produced no impression,
though it resulted in very heavy loss of
life. Seeing, at length, that nothing could
be hoped from this, two of Warren's Divi-
detached and sent to aid the Second aud
Sixth Corps, where the angle of works con-
tinued to be the prize hotly contended for.
Lee seemed to be determined to retake, at
any cost, the line wrested from him, and
throughout the day made not less than five
heavy assaults, each of which was in sue
cession repuIsei by the troops of the diff
ferent corps now concentrated at the point
assailed.

g. At Todd's Tavern, the Brock road is
intersected by road (the Catharpin road
that connects the routes on which the rival
armies were moving; and as hostile parties
made their appearance close to the Union
line of march, this caused Gen. Meade to
retain Hancock's Division all day at Todd's
Tavern, though one division THAT of Glib
bon) was in the afternoon sent forward
toward Spotsylvania Courthouse. To OBJ
serve the Catharpin road against any hos
tile approach, Miles's Brigade of Hancock's S
Corps, with brigade of Gregg's cavalry
and battery of artillery, moved out in
the afternoon, and took up position with
in mile of Corby's Bridge. This Miles
held, meeting only an artillery fire, till he
was recalled, late in the afternoon. While
retiring. he was assailed by Mahone's Diyi-
sion of Hills Corps; but Miles, with much
skill, repulsed the attack. 1t would prob
ably have sufficed to retain only a small
masking force, such as that of Miles. In
this case Hancock would have been able to
push on to the critical front. His reten-
ton at TOdd's Tavern was very unfort,i-
nate, and must be accounted rather timid
generalship; for the army, having been cut
loose from the Wilderness, should have
been pushed to Spotsylyania with the ut
most vigOr. The situation was such as to
present quite as much danger to the head
OF the column as to its rear; and had War
ran gained Spotsylyania Courthouse, his
position, with nothing within supporting
distance, would have been very critical.
u This brigade belonged to Neili's Diyi-
sion OF the Sixth Corps.

GREAT STRUGGLE OF WORN TROOPS.
Forming in line, Robinsons division adj

had left III the Wilderness, the line way

CAUSES OF DELAYS.
The force encountered before Spotsyl-
vania Courthouse was the head of Long
streets column, which, having left the Will
derness battlefield almost simultaneously
with Warren's setting out. had hurried for
ward toward the threatened point, and, be-
ing favored by the delays that had befallen
Warren, reached it in time TO bar further
progress. 1t is probable that vigorous
attack by an adequate force, any time dur
ing that day, would have carried the posi-
ton, for the Confederate army was but in
process of arrival, and the defenses, being
such as were improvised on the spot, were
not formidable. But there were various
causes that prevented this. The task was
too much for the Fifth Corps alone and
when, in the afternoon, Sedgwick came up
with the Sixth Corps, and took command
of the field, there was much delay in deter
