reluctance upon our part to ask a flag
OF truce. In effect il was done al last
on the evening of the third day after
the battle, when, for the most part. the
wounded needed no further care and our
dead had to be buried almost where they
fell
The work of intrenching could only be
done at night. The fire OF. Sharpshooters
was incessant. and no man upon all that
line could stand erect and live an in
slant This condition of things con-
tinued for twelve days and nights.
Sharpshooters fire from both sides went
on all day; all night the zigzags and
parallels nearer to the enemys works
were being constructed.
In none of its marches by day or night
did that army suffer more than during
those twelve days. Ratons and ammu-
milton were brought forward from par
allel to parallel through the zigzag
trenches. and in some instances where
regiments whose term of service Had ex-
pired were ordered home they had to
leave the field crawling on hands and
knees through the trenches to the rear
At O'Clock every night the enemy
opened fire with artillery and musketry
along his whole line. This was un-
doubtedly done under the suspicion that
the Army of the Potomac had seen the
hopelessness of the task before 1t and
would withdraw in the nighttime for
another movement by the flank. and. if
engaged in such a movement, would be
thrown into confusion by this threat of a
night attack However, no advance was
made by the enemy.
Another strange order came about this
time 1t opened with a preamble that
inasmuch as the enemy had without
provocation repeatedly opened fire during
the night upon our lines. therefore, at
midnight of that day, the corps COM
manders were directed to open fire from
all their batteries generally upon the
enemys position. and continue it until
daylight. This was coupled with the
proviso that if, in the opinion Of a corps
commander. the fire would provoke a
return from the enemy which would in
flict severe damage upon his troops, then
he was exempted from the operation OF
the order The commanders of the three
corps holding the front communicated
with one another by telegraph with this
result: Smith was satisfied that the fire
which he would provoke would inf1ict
upon him disproportionate damage. Han
cock. for the same reason did not inteno
to open fire unless the fire provoked by
the other corps reached his lines. Wright
adopted the same rule of action. Twelve
