from these, and the skirmishers had to
make their way across on the stringers.
They, of course, got across these string
ers on dead run, but the troops fol-
lowing had to be more deliberate, and
suffered much in the crossing. A little
beyond the race the ground rises slight

needed to complete the deployment of

from no duty and leaving the conse-

The American soldier appears TO great
advantage on every battlefield wher-
ever the conflict has led him, but he
never rose to a higher pitch of supreme
heroism and self-sacrifice than he did
on the morning of Dec. 10, 1862, when,
facing the massed army of the South
ern Confederacy upon the serried nights
in the rear of Fredericksburg, he made
his gallant charges.

disperse the fog, and about II o'clock
there began on Marye's flights thun-
derouS cannonade on the soldiers mass
ed below, and which incidentally de-
stroyed much more of the buildings of
Frederick sburg than the terrific Union
cannonade of the day before. The
significant circles of white smoke tinged
with blue that rose from the crests
showed Burnside and those with him
how well Lee had prepared himself by
filling every point from which artillery
could be used with belching batteries.
Gen. Hunt, Chief of Artillery, set his
batteries to flaming work TO answer
those on the two-mile-away crests, but
the distance was too great for effective
work, and. little disturbed by the guns
from Falmouth, the Confederate artil-
lerymen busted themselves in tearing
up the masses moving to the assault
1t was one of those opportunities for
which the enthusiastic artXeryman
longs and which comes but rarely to
him; that is, of having massed infan-
try at close range as food for his guns.
French Advances.
Burnside gave the signal for the adj
vance. French's Division of the Sec
ond Corps had been selected by Sum
ner to lead the assault, with Hancock's
Division formed in support, French,
throwing out a cloud of skirmishers
under Col. John S. Mason, 4th Ohio,
moved his division by column up the
principal streets. and as the town was
cleared the columns went into line. When
the troops emerged from the cover of
the houses, the Confederate artillery
had fair show at them, and every in
slant tore gaps thru the lines, which
were instantly closed by the admirably
disciplined regiments. Hancock esti-
mated the distance that the troops had
to march under this destructive artfl-
Iery fire at about LOO yards, or very
nearly a mile.
About halfway between the town

similarly, the S1st Pa, Goth N. Y, 11sth
Pa. and Goth N. Y. each having four
different commanders in the short time
they were under fire. Col. Nelson A.
Miles, who had attracted Hancocks at
tention while a subordinate and receiv-
ed command of the 61st and 64th N Y
consolidated, began his career of dis
tinction there by the manner in which
he handled his men, and received the
first of his severe wounds. Out of the
5000 men Hancock led into the charge
he lost 2,O13, of whom 156 were COM
missioned officers.
Like their predecessors, the men who
had forged forward to that dead line
were hot and insistent, and would not
go back. They sought anything that
promised cover, and joined the rest of
the sharp firing upon the brigadesp be-
hind the stone wall, in which the lat
ter began to suffer quite severely, and
which resulted in Gen. Cobb being
killed and Gen. Cook badly wounded
The Union soldiers shook the defend
ers of the stone wall so severely that
Ransom and Kershaw. with their bril-
gades. were sent to their support, and,
taking their places on a terrace in the
rear of the brigades behind the wall,
opened over their heads a fire which
told the Union commanders that the
