that would have been promising. The
passage of the river at Fredericksburg was
made for a real attack. Burnside might
have converted it into feint; he might
have made threatening demonstrations of
attack with Summers command, and mean
while, he might have thrown Hooker's two
corps up by Banks's or United States

SO different from what he had expected
SO different from what Gen. Burnside had
given him reason to expect the night be-

and they concluded from its terms that il
meant there should be simply an armed
reconnaissance with single division, es-

elaborate statement on this point by Gen.
w. L. Smith, sworn to by him before a
magistrate. In this he says: Gen. Frank

ing the rebel stronghold directly in front,
would, it was feared, prove most haz

2S The Importance of this road has
been greatly exaggerated by Gen. Burn
side: it was made merely for convenience
of transportation, and was in no sense a
key-point. Meade's attack was certainly
made in spirited manner. but it's success
has also been much oyer-e estimated The
dispositions and force of the Confederates
plainly show that nothing could have re-
suited even had Frankln's entire Grand
Division been put in.

How Young Mccook Corrupted His Brothers

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: While fol-
lowing Bragg to the field of Perryville we
We're short of ratiOns, and had strict or
ders against foraging. We had not found
any green persimmons to draw up our
stomachs. and it stood us in hand to devise
some means to increase our larder. After
going into camp, just before shutdown Nc
Masters and Wilson were appointed COM
missaries extra ordinary by private au-
thority Of our mess. They reported fine
herd of shorthorns about mile from
camp. and about s o'clock We went out
a devils lane we had located, caught and
held her while Glib +. cut her throat, as
we dared not shoot on account of the pro-
yost. We had plenty of fresh meat in
our company the next day.
A few days after the battle of Perry
vile we camped at plantation located
on a large creek and Col. Dan McCook,
commanding the brigade, located his head
quarters at a residence and called for
volunteers from his own regiment for
guard duty, and /, among others, volun-
tered for headquarters guard that night.
There were several hives OF bees on the
place adjacent to the house, and the or
ders Of the General were for careful pro-
lection of the bees and their product.
At this time John J. McCOok was on
his brother Dams Staff. He then was
only a boy of Is or II, and not the staid
I'resl,y terrain that he afterwards became.
Now, John not having the fear OF either
Divine or Civil or Military law, before
his eyes. did, of aforethought wickedly
devise, did proceed to attempt corruption
Of and did corrupt the guard at head
quarters aforesaid, and by such corrup-
ton did induce such guard to disregard
and disobey the orders of his brother, their
General, and to permit him to and to as
sist him In despoiling said beehives Of the
honey they contained. Wherefore the
men of the command cherished great love
and admiration and respect for John of
his brothers staff, when they knew of the
matter, because he was wicked and there
fore they loved him.

teenth Corps surely remembers, the place

1t was there that / and some Of the
comrades concluded that our larder was
getting too low, and ought to be replen-
ished-with fresh pig for preference. The
provost guard was our vexment; the prob
lem hardest to solve-but ever solved
when soldiers yearned for change of diet.
We found a 2JO-pound porcine desecrat-
ing our corps badge, for which l shot him
dead and John +. cut his head off. We
knew. ON reflection, that We were liable to
punishment for such summary proceed
ings, wherefore we cut the body into frag-
ments and stole it into camp where 1t was

however, appear to have been entertained
at this time, notwithstanding that it was
what seemed to be dictated by sound mil
itary considerations. As tactical opera
ton, it was easier than to make the pas
sage below Enthusiastically and it
gave the direction of attack on Lees left,
which was his strategic flank; for the
manuver, if successful, would throw the
enemy back towards the coast But there
We're other considera tons that determined
Burnside's plan. 1t was discovered that
the preparations that had been made to
cross at Skenker's Neck had SO engaged
Lees attention, that he continued to hold
a considerable force near that point; and
Burnside judged that by making direct
crossing at Fredericksburg. it might sur
prise Lee thus divided. 1t will be con-
coded that if this purpose could have been
successfully executed, the result would
is far from clear how its successful exc
cution could have been reasonably ex-
pected. The passage of n river by a great
army, observed by a watchful opponent,
is not an operation of the nature of a coup
de main; and unless the enemy could
neither see nor act, it was manifest he
might concentrate his force as rapidly as
the assailant could defile on the southern
bank. Now this remote contingency Of a
surprise was the sole recommendation of
the operation; for, otherwise the attack
of the fortified position behind Fredericks-
burg was not of a kind to be voluntarily
undertaken. 1t was certainly a slender
chance on which to hazard the issue Of a
great battle: but Burnside boldly accepted
the risk. The 10th Of December found the
preliminary preparations completed, and it
was determined to force the passage of the
Rappahannock the following day.
