ana a division of Hits were lighting
with Hancock.
Longstreet was wounded here, but
told his division leaders to push on
with the charge. Lee ordered the at
tack suspended until the lines could
be Strengthened out. BY that time the
Federals had recovered from their con
fusion and built breastworks along the
whole front.

End of the Battle.

It was nightfall when Lee pushed
forward two divisions and captured a
line of breastworks, but the Federals
rallied and quickly drove the v~ictors
out. Burnside got his troops into po-
sition north of the plank road between
Hancock and Warren and drove the
Confederates back to their lines of the
morning. Ewell merely held his own
against the assaults of Warren and
Sedgwick. Thus the day ended with
the opposing forces locked in a death
grapple.
Grants losses in the Wilderness were:
Killed. 2,246; wounded, 12,037; miss
ing, 1888; total, 1866. The Confed-
crate loss has been estimated at about
1000 in all. Early on the morning Of
May z Grants officers found that Lee
had posted his artillery so as to sweep
the approaches to his lines; also that
the whole front was covered by a
tangled forest of young growth. Grant
gave the order to commence a move
ment by the left flank, with the inten-
ton of reaching S~pottsylyania Court
House, eight miles farther on the road
to Richmond, ahead of Lee.

were taking up the battle. The Fed
eral corps Of General A. e. Burnside
was working its way into the gap be-
tween Warren's left and Hancock's
right and was threatening to do for
EwelIs right flank above the plank
road what Hancock was doing for Hills
left flank south of that road-namely,
roll it up and widen the distance be-
tween the wings of Lees army. Lee
stood on the plank road, and shortly
before the decisive moment he sent
messengers in hot haste to meet Long
street back on the plank road and urge
him forward. Just when it was a
turn Of the hand whether or not the
C~onfederates must retire in disorder,
Longstreet's troops came to the field.
Fighting For Position.
Lee In the wilderness had but $4,000
men with which to oppose the army
led by General U. s. Grant, number
ing 100000 He selected and intrench-
eS ground higher than that in front
where Grant must advance. The Con
federate artillery was in battery back
in the clearings ready to pour shot
into the Federals should they attempt
to pass through the woods.
HIPS guns were massed to cover the
plank road and the crossroads leading
from the Federal lines to Parker's
store. Farther to the north, along the
Orange turnpike, the Federals. under
Sedgwick and Warren, were checked in
their advance by swamps and streams
which separated the corps from each
other.
The positions held by the columns
under Hancock and Warren the morn
ing Of Mayo had been gained at the
cost Of much hard fighting the day be-
fore. Both commanders had been or
dered to march to Parker's store, which
at the time was within the Confeder-
ate lines, Hills corps being east of it
on the plank road. with Ewell's corps

extending HIS line northward across
the Orange turnpike.
The advance of Warren's corps
against Ewell on the turnpike was de-
layed all the morning of the 9th by the
nature of the ground and Ewell's line
of battle. About 2 O'Clock that day
Hancock, who was forging his way to-
ward Parker's store. heard Of Warren's
situation and also learned that Long
street had not yet reached the field.
He led out three divisions to force the
passage on the plank road, where he
was confronted by the single Confeder-
ate division of General Henry Heth.
Heth's line was finally broken and
driven back upon the division of Gen.
eral C. NJ. Wilcox. At 8 o'clock Will
cox's troops were giving way in disor-
der, and Lee sent his message to Long
street.
Confusion In Federal Lines.
Having learned from prisoners that
Longstreet should arrive at daylight,
May 6, with $4,000 troops, Grant gave
his order for an attack all along the
lines at 8 o'clock that morning. At the
hour set all were ready except Burn
side. Hancock's divisions leaped first
a log intrenehment and then a line of
rifle pits. In less than an hour the

Race For Spottsylvania.

Within one hour after the Federals
got In motion orders were issued In
the Confederate army to move south.
General Grants orders were that War
ren's corps should march at 8 O'clock
the evening of the 7th to Spottsylvania,
Sedgwick's corps to a point halfway
between Todd's Tavern and Spottsyl-
vania, Hancock's corps, after holding
the lines on the plank road until the
other troops had gone, to Todd's Tav-
ern, and Burnside's corps back on the
Catharpin road, two miles east of
Todd's Tavern. to prevent a possible
lunge by the C~onfederates at the Fed
eral communications with Fredericks-
burg. As soon as Warren seized Spott-
side would close up on that position.
The corps all secured the points as
signed excepting Warren.
Lees orders were that Longstreet's
corps NOW commanded by General r.
Fl. Anderson should o on the night
of the 7th to Spottsylvania. Anderson
had his troops in position, covering the
roads to Spottsylvania, at daylight on
the 9Th. Warren's corps moved, pre-
ceded on the Brock road by General
Wesley Merritt's cavalry.
At 3 o'clock In the morning of May 8
Warren's infantry had oyertaken the
cavalry a mile below Todd's Tavern,
engaged with General Fitzhugh Lees
cavalry. Warren sent in his leading
division under General John @. Robin
son and about s o'clock a. m. Robinson
reached the outposts Of Anderson's line,
intrenched two miles north of the court
house. Warren deployed the division
of General Charles Griffin on the right
of Robinson and that of General s. w.
Crawford on the left, drove back the
enemy and held a line in the woods.
