e Chickahominy at Meadow Bridge when Jackson advanced beyond that point, and to move directly upon Mechanicsville. As soon as the bridge there should be uncovered, Longstreet and D. H. Hill were to cross, the former to proceed to the support of A. P. Hill and the latter to that of Jackson. The four commands were directed to sweep down the north side of the Chickahominy toward the York River Railroad—Jackson on the left and in advance; Longstreet nearest the river and in the rear. Huger, McLaws, and Magruder, remaining on the south side of the Chickahominy, were ordered to hold their positions as long as possible against any assault of the enemy, to observe his movements, and to follow him closely if he should retreat. General Stuart, with the cavalry, was thrown out on Jackson's left to guard his flank and give notice of the enemy's movements. Brigadier General Pendleton was directed to employ the reserve artillery so as to resist any advance toward Richmond, to superintend that

entered the former on the 12th. Meanwhile General McLaws had been ordered to seize Maryland Heightseadiness to open fire upon Harpers Ferry. But McLaws found the heights in possession of the foe, wing the mountains at this point, in the rear of McLaws, so as to relieve the garrison at Harpers Ferrough Crampton Gap, only five miles in rear of McLaws. Under these circumstances it was determined k and rear of the enemy should he move against McLaws, and where we could more readily unite with thame up in the afternoon. The movements of General McLaws were embarrased by the presence of the eneer, delayed their progress until the troops of McLaws arrived, and those of General J. G.

a rough and bold spur of the former. Thus, while Cemetery and Culp's Hills require the formation of a line of battle to face northward, the direction of Cemetery Ridge requires the line to face westward. The crest has a good slope to the rear, while to the west it falls off in a cultivated and undulating valley, which it commands. About a mile distant is a parallel crest, known as Seminary Ridge, and which our forces occupied during the battle. Longstreet, with the divisions of Hood and McLaws, faced Round Top and a good part of Cemetery Ridge; Hill's three divisions continued the line from the left of Longstreet, fronting the remainder of Cemetery Ridge, while Ewell, with his three divisions, held a line through the town, and, sweeping round the base of Cemetery Hill, terminated the left in front of Culps's Hill. These were the positions of the three corps after the arrival of General Longstreet's troops. The main purpose of the movement across the Potomac was to free Virgi
