William Swinton, Campaigns of the Army of the Potomac, chapter 10 (search)
Buckland, the horses at full speed the whole distance, the enemy retreating in great confusion.—Stuart's Report. But the reports of Custer and Kilpatrick are naturally not so frank as to avow this. Lee retired behind the Rappahannock. The Army of the Potomac being pushed forward as far as Warrenton, General Meade was compelled to halt there to await the repairing of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. This work, undertaken with much energy, was accomplished early in November; and on the 7th, the whole army continued the advance towards the Rappahannock in two columns. General French had command of the left wing, composed of the First, Second, and Third corps, and General Sedgwick had command of the right wing, composed of the Fifth and Sixth corps. The left column was directed to cross the Rappahannock at Kelly's Ford, and the right column at Rappahannock Station. Lee held position south of the Rappahannock, in the vicinity of Culpepper, with outposts at Kelly's Ford on the s

ssailed, he dared not venture further attack. When, therefore, the skirmish line was thrown forward on the morning of the 7th, the Confederates were found standing at bay behind their intrenchments. General Grant appears to have drawn an inference from Lee's remaining behind his intrenchments on the morning of the 7th, which facts do not justify. From this, says he, it was evident to my mind that the two days fighting had satisfied him of his inability to further maintain the contest in tes now to be mentioned, first retarded and finally foiled. The advance of Warren's corps was begun at nine P. M. of the 7th. Reaching Todd's Tavern, he was delayed for an hour and a half by the cavalry escort of General Meade blocking the way. Oauregard's army, drawn from Charleston, Savannah, and Florida, reached Petersburg. When, therefore, on the morning of the 7th, a column of five brigades moved out to destroy the Petersburg and Richmond Railroad, the enemy was found in a position co

position and posted between the Fifth Corps, which then became the right of the line, and the Eighteenth. On the 6th, the Fifth Corps was retired and massed in rear of the centre. The Ninth Corps then became again the right of the line. On the 7th, the Second Corps, then forming the left of the line, being stretched to the Chickahominy, the Fifth was transferred to that flank to extend it as far as Dispatch Station on the York River Railroad. At this date, two divisions of cavalry under Shr and the breaking of the railroad in several places. He was therefore not in position to check the irruption of the enemy into Maryland, and the Confederates, the way being thus open, passed the Potomac, and marching by way of Hagerstown, on the 7th, reached Frederick—a central point whence they might threaten both Baltimore and Washington. The only force at hand with which to dispute Early's advance was a body of a few thousand foot artillerists, hundred days men and invalids under Genera

n to General Lee. But the Confederate commander did not think such extremity was yet upon him; or, rather, he did not think he could with honor surrender until he should be compelled to surrender; and this had not yet been. Moreover, all deliberation was cut short by an ominous outburst of sound which told that the hunter was again upon the track of the hunted. When the whole of the Confederate column had filed across the Appomattox, near Farmville, which was not till towards dawn of the 7th, the bridges were fired to prevent pursuit. But the Second Corps, under Humphreys, taking up an early pursuit, came up with the Confederates at High Bridge, six miles east of Farmville. The rear-guard was overtaken just as it had fired the wagon-road bridge, and as the second span of the railroad bridge was burning; but Humphreys succeeded in saving the wagon-road bridge—a matter of great importance, as the Appomattox was unfordable. A considerable force of the Confederates was observed d
