the Federal army operating in Northern Virginia had been kept up to about 150,000 men. Gen. Lee had less than 50,000 men. He had been compelled to detach nearly a third of the army with which he had fought at Fredericksburg to confront demonstrations of the enemy on the coasts of Virginia and North Carolina; and Longstreet had been sent to command the department which included Richmond and its vicinity, together with the State of North Carolina, placed under the immediate supervision of Gen. D. H. Hill. There was nothing more remarkable about the great Confederate commander than his cheerful self-possession, his calm, antique courage in the most trying and terrible circumstances of life.

Gen. Polk replied that he had ordered Hill to open the action, that he was waiting for him, and he added: Do tell Gen. Bragorted the reply literally. Bragg uttered a terrible exclamation, in which Polk, Hill, and all his generals were included. Maj. Lee, he cried, ride along the line, a
