The following note from Maj Gen. Nc
Mahon explains the real purpose of the
operation misinterpreted by me:
New York, January, 1866.
My Dear Sir: The movement of troops
under Gen. Sedgwick. to which our con
versation referred, was not for the purpose
or deceIving the enemy into the belief that
though such probably was it's effect.
Ihe movements consisted of the with
drawal of Reynolds's Corps from the lower
crossing, which was effected without at
tracing the attention of the enemy; and
the transfer of one division Of the Sixth
corps from the upper to the lower bridges,
TO hold the position abandoned by the First
Corps. The march of this division was So
ordered that only its arrival at the lower
bridges could be seen by the enemy. II
was necessary movement, made so by the
departure of the First Corps for Chancel-
iorsvllIe, and not a stratagem. OF course
| in this as in all similar movements. ad.
vantage was taken of the nature of the
| ground, to conceal our intention from the
| enemy as far as it was practicable.
Very respectfully, etc,
| NJ. Il. MCMAHON,
Late Chief of STAFF to Maj. Gen. Sedgwick
w. Sw1NToN, Esq.
IA. These observations were made in
| presence of the writer.
10. The enemy in our front (Sedgwick)
| near Fredericksburg, continued inactive
and 1T was now apparent that the main at
| tack would be made upon our flank and
rear 1t was, therefore, determined to leave
| sufncient troops to hold our lines, and
| with the main body Of the army, to give
battle to the approaching column. Lee

IL. This place consisted of single large
brick house.
13. There was much in what was visible
to the Confederates of Sedgwick's operation
to inspire them with the belief that Hook
er was preparing his main attack at that
point: and an accidental circumstance, the
details of which are given below, tended
greatly to confirm this impression. Being
spectator of Sedgwick's operations, l at
the time interpreted certain movements rs
ruse de guerre, designed to give the enemy
an exaggerated notion of the strength OF
the force present at that point, whereas
they were the necessary result of an entire
ly different operation: and / elaborated
this point with some fulness In a letter on
the battle of Charlottesville in the New
York Times. What was there stated has
already PASSED into history; and Col. Mac
Dougall, an English military writer of re-
pute, following that account (without
credit given, howeverl, thus writes:
Ihe TOUR remaining divisions of these
two corps tSedgwick's s and Reynolds's) re-
mained on the north bank. and an ingenious
ruse was practiced to deceive the enemy
into the belief that the greater part of the
Northern army was there massed with the
intention of crossing. 1t is to be noted
that, from the configuration of the ground
the enemy could not see the bridges, neither
could they see the four divisions on the
north bank, which were behind the fringe
of hills aforesaid. These troops were then
put in motion, and, mounting the ridge
which, sloping both ways, served as q
screen, marched along the top in full view
AZ the Confederates, and then dipped down

TO their arm-pits. Such as were carried
away by the current were caught by a cav
airy picket stationed below. After dark
uhe crossing being continued all night
huge bonfireS were kindled, and by the aid
OF the light thus cast over the wild scene,
the troops filed over the river and next
morning all were across The soldiers were
in the highest spirits; for. acute judges
of military movements as the rank and file
always are, they knew that the march they
had made was one of those pregnant
marches that are in themselves victories /:
they gayly headed toward Chancellors-
vile. which was the assigned point of con-
centration and which they reached in the
afternoon of the .0th.
While the three corps, whose movements

Rappahannock to Kelly's Ford. the Second

TIE CHANCELLORsvILLE CAMPAIGN

Corps under Gen. Couch had moved no
further than United States Ford. where
1t was directed to remain on the north
bank of the Rappahannock till the turning
column sweeping down the south bank
should have uncovered United States Ford.
Cha hancellorsville. This object was, of
course, accomplished the moment the
Rapidan was crossed; and the same after
noon Couch threw a pontoon bridge over
the Rappahannock. and marched on Chan
cellorsville, at which point the four corps
bivouacked that night (Thursday, April
3O). The same night. Gen. Hooker re-
moved his headquarters to Chancellors-
vile. (12) He had secured position which
took in reverse Lees entire fortified line,
and he held in his hand a puissant force
of $4,000 men.
MAGNIFICENT MILITARY ACHIEVEMENT.
The remarkable success attending this
movement, of which Lee did not become
aware till the Rappahannock had been
crossed, was the result of secrecy and
celebrity of march new in the Army of the
Potomac. To have marched column OF
10000 men. laden with GO pounds of bag
gage. and encumbered with artillery and
trains. 81 miles in two days; to have
bridged and crossed two streams, guarded
by vigilant enemy. with the loss of
half dozen men. one wagon, and two
mules. is an achievement which has few
parallels, and which well deserves to rank
with Prince Eugene's famous passage of
the Adige.
FREDERICKSBURG FEINT SUCCESSFUL.
In securing this result, important serv-
ice was rendered by the skillful manner
i'll which the flank march was masked by
Gen. Sedgwick, under whom had been
placed for the execution Of this duty the
First Corps Reynods) and the Third
Corps tSickles), in addition to his own
Sixth Corps. As soon rs the column de-
stined to make the turning movement was
well under way, Sedgwick was ordered to
cross the river in the vicinity of Fred
ericksburg for the purpose of making a
direct demonstration. Accordingly, be-
fore dawn of the 18th, while the thanking
| force was passing the Rappahannock sc
| miles above, pOntoOn boats, borne noseless
| ly on mems shoulders, were launched three
| miles below the town, near the point n,
which Franklin had made his crossing on
the occasion of the battle of Fredericks
| burg. In these party passed to the south
| bank, capturing the small force i'm obser
| vation. Two bridges were then con
| structed, and two divisions thrown across
! This menace Immediately engaged the at
| tention of the Confederates who promptl,
| began intrenching their entire front, as
| fearing q direct attack. (13) Demonstra
