Death of a Great General

OUR own batteries, with numerous others,
~ extended along the crest of a ridge, and with
Steinwehr's troops faced to the rear. Then a
terrible cannonade by us was begun all along
that formidable position and continued into
the night. Everybody fired into the forest, now
replete with Confederates much disorganiZed
in their exciting chase. The strenuous efforts
of Stonewal Jackson to advance in the face
of that fire were effectually barred. 1t was in
the edge of that forest where General Berry
had entered that he met his death. In there
that evening Stonewall Jackson also fell, in
front of Berry's command, said to have been
fired upon by mistake by his own men. 1t
was here that officers of the Eleventh Corps
successfully rallied their scattered brigades
and helped in the defense, till they were sent
in the night, to replace the Fifth Army Corps
which had been brought away from the left of
Hooker general line.
Years ago l wrote concerning the causes of
the discontinue OF my command as follows:
"SroNEwALL JACKsoN's SUCCESS AND SOME
REASONS Why THE ELEVENTH CORPS WAS
DISPLACED
"Ist was limited by orders to the position
to be defended. Though constantly threatened
and apprized of the moving of the enemy in a
westerly direction, yet the woods were so dense
that he was able to mass a large force (much
larger than mine), whose exact whereabouts
neither patrols, reconnaissance nor scouts
actually ascertained. Jackson succeeded in
forming a column about three times my
strength in the forest opposite to and out

it was, after we had been fighting for an hour,
that SiCkles and Pleasantons guns began to
be heard. They had faced about and moved
obliquely toward the northwest, and were
hurrying artillery, infantry, and cavalry into
positions to do what they could for relief
Much mortified, | had come to my last
practicable stand. The Confederates were
still slowly advancing, firing they came.
The twelve cannon of Schierer, increased by a
part of Diger's battery, fired, but not very
effectively, because the batterymen kept fall
ing from death and wounds Suddenly as
if by an order, when a sheet of the enemy's
fire reached them, the men in the trenches for
the most part, vacated their positions and ran
to the rear.
next ordered a retreat to the edge of the
forest toward Charlottesville, eastward. This
uncovered Steinwehr's knoll the only spot yet
firmly held. The batteries, except four pieces,
were drawn off and hurried to the rear. The
stand at the edge of that forest was necessarily
a short one. Steinwehr now brought back his
regiments, and the whole Eleventh Corps
moved rapidly through the woods and the
opening, through low grounds and swampy
places, the two miles to the first high land west
of Hooker's headquarters. digger, in a manly
way, kept his guns to the rear of the retreatng
corps, firing constantly as he retired The
Confederate masses, partaking OF Jackson s
energy, rushed after with triumphant shouts
and unceasing firing, that they secured
many prisoners and much plumber.

high ground not far from Charlottesville

A Tribute to Jackson

CTONEWALL JACKSON was victorious.
~ Even his enemies praise him; but, fortu-
nately for our cause, it was the last battle that
he waged against the American Union. In bold
planning, in energy Of execution, in indefatiga-
bic activity and moral ascendency, Stonewall
Jackson stood head and shoulders above his
confreres, and after his death General Lee
couldnot replace him.
In his prayers, | was told by General Col
quit, after peace came, that Jackson pleaded
for success, but never for his own life. He at
tanned marvellous successes for himself and for
Lee and the last one was indeed his greatest
achievement. Amid the JOY of victory his
spark Of life went out in meteoric splendor
| was beaten, | was mortified beyond ex-
preston, till, like Jonah watching Nineveh
| wanted to die. 1t was not to be. After that
| had success after success to the end of the
war. At Charlottesville | passed through

cause and the reunion of all the States.
