[see P. 546 and foot-note, P. 545.] in battle and by disease. But among these 89,000 for duty. According to General McClellan's Tri-monthly return, dated July 10, 1862 ( Official Records, Vol. XI., Pt. III., p. 312), he would appear to be mistaken, above, in saying that the 89,000 for duty included all the extra duty men, for in the return he classifies (excluding the forces under Dix) 88,435 as present for duty, equipped, at Harrison's Landing, and in the next column he accounts for 106,466 as the aggregate present. Obviously there is no meaning in the return if the 88,435 present for duty, equipped, did not exclude the 18,021 (supposably extra duty

is, of course, clear that the first item comprises all the officers and men who are effective for the immediate work of the army, yet-either through ignorance, or to injure me by exaggerating the force at my disposal — often the total present, often the aggregate present and absent, was given, by those occupying official positions, as the effective strength of the Army of the Potomac. In the latter case this sometimes involved an exaggeration of over sixty per cent; as, for example, on July 10, 1862, the total present for duty was 89,549, while the aggregate present and absent was 144,886. Nor, as our returns were made during the first two years of the war, were the numbers given as present for duty by any means a true measure of the effective force, because one of the instructions for making out the returns was that all officers and enlisted men present on extra or daily duty will be borne in the column of present for duty. Therefore there were included among the present for d

d energy, and the army and its material were embarked and transported to Fortress Monroe in a very short space of time and entirely without loss. During the operations on the Peninsula, until the arrival of troops at Harrison's Landing, Gen. Van Vliet retained the position of chief quartermaster, and maintained the thorough organization and efficiency of his department. The principal depots of supplies were under the immediate charge of Lieut.-Cols. Ingalls and Sawtelle. On the 10th of July, 1862, Gen. Van Vliet having requested to be relieved from duty with the Army of the Potomac, I appointed Lieut.-Col. Ingalls chief quartermaster, and he continued to discharge the duties of that office during the remainder of the Peninsular and the Maryland campaigns in a manner which fully sustained the high reputation he had previously acquired. The immense amount of labor accomplished often under the most difficult circumstances, the admirable system under which the duties of the depa

I shall leave it to others to decide whether that was the best that could have been done, and, if they find any one who can do better, am perfectly willing to step aside and give way. I would not for worlds go through that horrid work again, when, with my heart full of care, I had to meet everybody with a cheerful smile and look as light-hearted as though nothing were at stake. . . .

by this that his effective strength was 117,226 on the 20th of June? In his testimony before the Committee on the Conduct of the War, McClellan said: The largest number of men I had for duty at any time on the Peninsula was 107,000 men; and in reply to the question: How many available men did you estimate that you had at Harrison's Bar? he said: I think I had about 85,000 or 90,000 men at Harrison's Bar. The same statement in his report that has been referred to, shows that on the 10th of July, 1862, when he was at Harrison's Bar, he had, present for duty, 3,834 officers and 85,715 men, total 89,549 for duty, and an aggregate present of 106,466. The Comte, therefore, is slightly mistaken in this respect, and the fact will abundantly appear from the various returns of McClellan contained in the same volume with his testimony, which are certified by the Adjutant-General. Upon this unwarranted assumption, the Comte takes the figures stated by Butterfield and Meade as the present fo

The Forty-fourth, Fifty-second and Fifty-eighth Virginia regiments, all small regiments at that time, were subsequently transferred to the brigade, and constituted a part of it in the battles around Richmond. The artillery attached to tie brigades was absent at Mechum's River depot, to replenish ammunition and get new horses.
