volley into them. killing or wounding all

crawled in under our pieces, while We

The battle. which during the morning

oak trees. which grew just in the rear OF
the works, We're completely gnawed off
by our converging fire. and about =
o'clock in the day fell among the enemy
with loud crash. The stump of one of
these trees is preserved in Washington.
In his official report, Brig. Gen. Samuel
MCGOWAN, who commanded a brigade in
Wilcox's Confederate division, says:
ITO give some idea of the intensity Of
the fire, an oak tree twenty-five inches

Breyet Major General. L. S. v. Chief OF stan
Sixth Corps.
- - AY 8. 1864 the 9th Corps (Gen.
IL Sedgwick. commanding), made
t"u a rapid march to the support
of Warren commanding the
5th Corps of the Army of the
Potomac near Spotsylvania Court House.
We arrived there about am and passed
the rest of the day in getting into posi-
ton on Warrens left.
After nightfall Gen. Sedgwick rode back
into an open field near Gen. Warren's
headquarters, and with his stan, lay
down on the grass and slept until day
light. Shortly after daylight he moved
out upon his line of battle. We had no
tents or breakfast during that night or
morning. The general made some neces-
sary changes in the line and gave Few
unimportant orders, and sat down with
me upon a bareback box with his back
resting against a tree. The men. 100 rect
in front were just finishing a line or rifle
pits, which ran to the right of section
of artillery that occupied an angle in our
line. The lst New Jersey Brigade was in
advance Of this line.
After this brigade, by Sedgwicks di-
rection, had been withdrawn through
little opening to the left of the pieces OF
artillery, the general. who had watched
the operation, resumed his seat on the
bareback box and commenced talking
about members of his staff in very COM
plmentary terms. He was an inveterate
tease, and ! at once suspected that he
had some joke on the staff which he was
leading UP to.
He was interrupted in his comments
this time had been filing from the left
into the rife pits, had come TO a halt and
were lying down. while the left OF the
line partly oyerlapped the position of the
section of artillery. He stopped abruptly
and said, THAT is wrong. Those troops
must be moved farther to the right:
don't wish them to overlap that battery
l started out to execute the order ana
he rose at the same moment, and we
sauntered out slowly to the gun on the
right.
About an hour before l had remarked
to the general, pointing to the two pieces
in a half-jesting manner which. he Wen
