oLD-TIME POSITIONS OF ARMIES REVERSED
Cold Harbor,. where Gems. Grant and
Meade established their headquarters for
the impending passage at arms, is no
harbor, as the name might imply, for it is
quite inland:(41) nor is it even a center of
population, nor SO much as IL collection of
farm-houses, but a mere locality, having
all its Importance from the conveyance OF
roads there. Behind it runs the Chicka
homny, and the map will reveal that we
are here again on classic ground; for it
was here that the battle of Gaines's Mill,
the first of the series of actions in Me-
Clellan's retrograde movement across the
Peninsula, was fought. AS the lines were
now drawn, however, there was this diff
ference, that the relative situati tiOns of the
cOmbatants were quite reversed-Lee
holding McClellan's position and Grant
Lees.
