Robert Underwood Johnson, Clarence Clough Buell, Battles and Leaders of the Civil War: Volume 2., Washington under Banks. (search)
Washington under Banks. by Richard B. Irwin, Lieutenant-Colonel and Assistant Adjutant-General, U. S. V. Heintzelman's headquarters at Alexandria. From a sketch made September 3, 1862.The 27th and 28th [of August], writes General F. A. Walker, in his admirable History of the Second Army Corps, were almost days of panic in Washington. These words mildly indicate the state into which affairs had fallen at the close of August and the opening of September, 1862, on the heels of General Pope's defeat in the Second Bull Run. Yet Washington was defended by not less than 110,000 men; for, in addition to the army which Pope was bringing back, beaten certainly, but by no means destroyed, there stood before the lines of Washington not less than 40,000 veterans who had not fired a shot in this campaign., and behind the lines 30,000 good men of the garrisons and the reserves of whom at least two-thirds were veterans in discipline, though all were untried in battle.

amrods. We heard with delight of the plenty to be had in Maryland; judge of our disappointment when, about 2 o'clock at night, we were marched into a dank clover-field and the order came down the line, men, go into that corn-field and get your rations — and be ready to march at 5 in the morning. Don't burn any of these fencerails. of course we obeyed orders as to the corn, but, the rails suffered.--extract from a letter written by Lieut. Robert Healy, of Jackson's corps. On the 3d of September, 1862, the Federal army under General Pope having been confounded, General Lee turned his columns toward the Potomac, with Stonewall Jackson in front. On the 5th of September Jackson crossed the Potomac at Whitens Ford, a few miles beyond Leesburg. The passage of the river by the troops marching in fours, well closed up, the laughing, shouting, and singing, as a brass band in front played Maryland, my Maryland, was a memorable experience. The Marylanders in the corps imparted much of the

er to be cashiered; fourth, the Board of Officers, appointed by President Hayes, April 12th, 1878, and upon whose report, reversing the findings of the court-martial, General Porter was finally reinstated in the service. In his report of September 3d, 1862, General Pope made certain representations unfavorable to Generals Porter, Franklin, and Griffin. On the 5th, by the same order that relieved General Pope from command, the President directed that Generals Porter, Franklin, and Griffin be ntucky and Tennessee, and punishment even inflicted, as in the former, without charges, or arraignment, and without other trial. No charges preferred against General Porter by General Pope have been found, save in his official reports of September 3d, 1862, and January 27th, 1863; and General Pope testified before the court-martial that he had in fact preferred none. In his letter to General Halleck of September 30th, 1862, General Pope speaks of having laid before the Government the conduct
