or that long and never-to-be-forgotten march, which we had in no sense anticipated at the beginning of that hour. The weather was warm, the roads excessively dusty, the springs were low, many of the streams were entirely dried up, and for days constantly marching in a thick cloud of dust, nothing but stagnant water in sink-holes could be obtained to slake our thirst. At the same time we had nothing but hard bread and pork, and very light rations of these, without coffee or sugar. At Bowling Green we drew flour, but had no means of baking it but by throwing it into hot ashes. But all this was endured with that patriotic, soldierly bearing which is the pride of our American army. September 27th.--In thirteen days we arrived at Louisville. When actually marching — for we made a few halts for a part or all of a day — we varied from twenty to thirty miles per day in making the two hundred miles from one city to the other. After spending three days in Louisville, in receiving r

The issue then being: will you be slaves; will you consent to be robbed of your property; will you renounce the exercise of those rights with which you were born and which were transmitted to you by your fathers?

Then the action commenced. Newton's division and the Light brigade occupied the streets of Fredericksburgh. This division, General Howe commanding, occupied the Bowling Green road, just outside and on the left of Fredericksburgh, its right resting on a creek which flows into the Rappahannock immediately on the left of Fredericksburgh. Commanding Fredericksburgh are two ranges of hills. The lower range, or Marye's Hill, is on the right of the creek and juricksburgh. The higher or principal range of hills is to the left of the creek and immediately in front of the position occupied by this brigade. Between the Bowling Green road and the base of the principal hills is an open plain nearly a mile in extent, through which passes a railroad. Nearly parallel with the railroad were rif
