Af. ter the second Maryland campaign we had- beon sent out to the A rny of Tel. nessee ; our corps had maintained the high reputation 'of t.hle "Virginia troops ;" at the bloody battle of Clcka mauga the ol Sharpshurg sonbriquet was set aside, and General Itongsi reet, no longer called the "Var Horse." was generally known as the "Old Bull of the Woods." Then came the skitmish. es of "lo Noir's" and the Campbell's Station," tite seize of Knoxville and the terrible winter' of IS-68'64, in desolate East Tennessee.. Our men had' borne,. unmurmeringly,, hardships greater tha4 any t9 which' even they had before been accustomed -: they had not conplained, althongli with insufficient food, without blankets. with ragged clothing, and, too,- oftent without shoes, they had tramped witl bleeding feet for Inany a weary mile.. On the inarch, .and in the biviac, duir. ing thoe freezing day. and comfortless night, in hunger and in thirst, they had) been sustaned by the .emenbraice 0' their dear Southern hand. All things,. hiowever,. I:avt ant end, and inl the spring of' 1864 we joyfullf returned to Virgmtia.. Oli the d of May,. 1-864,. we- kt ur emitps near GordonsviUe,. and on the night of.5th our two divisions-Fields' and. Kershaw's-went into, bivotac a few miles from the Wilderness.

Again they eame onl and in increased force, until at last 1 eatth's and \Vilcox's division.s, itn sp1ite of their steady and determined fighting, were driveti back . in con fusion. With a cheer the Federal troops pushed for. ward ; our exhautteal men ould do no more ; there seemlted no hope of further sucel'ssful resistanee, but tihere was a cloud of (list on.the road, and General Longstreet followed by hia colinlll,. camtte rapidly ont.
