Ίο the Editor qf the Prêta :
Oil Saturday, May 2d, Gen. Hooker's head
auarters were at Cbancellorville. The lltli
corps was in position on the right of the army,
and two mile* toward Gordon ville ou the plank
road, at a place called Dowdall's Tavern, where
the old turnpike joins the plank road at little
less than a right ancle. There had been some
apprehension thai the enemy would attempt
to turn the right flank of our army. The 11th

corps was there lore so disposed as to front in
three directions—one third lacing like the rest
of the army, one-third having its line nearly
perpcodicular to this and to the plank road,
and the remainder of the line, situated on the
extreme right, being almost perpendicular to
that portion upon its immediate left, and in
tended to meet the enemy should he succeed
in marching entirely around the army, and
make the attack from the old turnpike, or still
further to our right by coming through the
woods. The tlrst front was tried on Friday
evening, but then lieu. Howard had a strong
position for artillery, and very little impression
was made. Kitle pits had been extended along
our eutire front, and every eligible position
for artillery was occupied. There was a mod
erate elevation in the center of the opening
and in the vicinity of Dowdall's Tavern (Gen.
Howard's headquarters), where a second line
of rifle pits was made to be held by the re
serve brigade, and here the reserve artillery
was located. Gen. Hooker oileu expressed
his confidence that he could hold this position,
even il driven from his front liues. The great
extent of the front allowed only one brigade
to be held in reserve.
lu the afternoon our scouts reported that
the reliels were marching towards the right
across the plank road at right angles. Word
also came from headquarters of the ariny, that
the enemy was moving towards Gordousvilte.
Slocum and Sickles thereupon moved upon
their rear and right flank and met w ith con
siderable resistance. Sickles lay next to the
1 lth corps on its left, but when he advanced
bore to the lelt, leaving a gap. Ile sent to
Gen. Howard asking lor support, saying he
bad fouud a portion of the enemy entrenched
and was going to attack them. Gen. Howard
sent liiin word that he would support him, and
ovin η οναιι uiuuli »ν ΐΜννιιαιιι tuc c&att lUliir
ity of Gen. Sickles' line of battle iu order to
join It upou the right. At this lime he re
ceived an order from Gen. Hooker, to send α
brigade to (Jeu. Sickles. He had only the re
serve, Bolau's brigade, and that the best of
hi» corp<, consisting partly of Ohio and Mas
sachusetts troops, under a most brave and
thorough officer.
There was do alternative, and Gen. Howard
conducted the brigade to its position iu j»er
son, taking some prisoner's on the way.
tien. Howard galloped back to his head
quarters with the greatest speed; and it was
fortunate that lie made no delay, for within
live minutes after his return a couple of shots
from two of our rifled cannon located on the
right, upon the old turnpike, announced the
enemy in that vicinity. Soon a territlc storin
of musketry continued the belief that the
rebels had attacked our right tlank. The
General and stall' were in ihe saddle and gal
loping to the point of attack without a mo
ment's delay ; but before the General got there
the right brigade (German) had given way
and was pouring back in utter rout. As he
went along Gen. Howard changed the direc
tion il' a brigade, so that it would face the en
emy coming from the right. He also sent di
rections to the artillery, which now opened a
mom destructive lire upon the impetuous foe.
But notc he found it necessary to use every
etlort, both in person and by employing staff
officers, to rally the broken regiments. A
panic had seized the brigade second Irom the
right (McLean's, American). A few shells
striking among them, the overwhelming charge
of the reMs, accompanied by their triumph
ant yells,the rushing hack ot the routed troops,
all so sudden and bewildering, seemed to turn '
the heads of many of the officers as well as
men.
Gen. Devens, who commanded the division
first attacked, was badly wounded while en
deavoring to rally his command. The panic
was communicated to the division of Major
Geu. Schur ζ—the two rilled cannon contrib
uting to the same end, as the shot came tear
ing through one of his regiments in retreat.
Gen. Schurz had received his instructions
how and where to form in case of an attack
upon the right. Only two of his regiments,
however, fell back fighting and in order.
Three regiment· under Col. Bushbeek, and
located on the left of the line, held their po
sition bravely, and fought till they were com
pletely outflanked. They held their ground
so well, although compelled to take the out
side of their defence» (the enemy coiniug op
posite to their pro|>er front that some of our
artillery was enabled to bring a most destruct
ive fire upon the rebels as they came tumbling
and rushing furiously on. ·
The artillery held to the last, and iudeed
some pieces were lost by the killing of the
horses.
Every effort was made to rally the troops all
the way aloug, and especially when any pos
sible position presented itself, such as a fence
or thick woods. All was In vain, and w hen
Col. Bushbeek had been forced to retire, Gen.
Howard then passed to the rear of Berry's di
vision, and there first succeeded in halt ing and
rallying the corps. Gen. Hooker had located
G«n. Berry iu the rear in order to prevent the
further advance of the enemy. His veteran
troops stood firmly.
About the time the retreating and compound
masses of the 11th corps paessd the line of
Gen. Berry, Uie other two divls'ons of Sickles'
corps, which had been pushed far out on the
left. Undine themselves outflanked marched
back and changing front met the pursuing reb
els at the left. It was now 8 o'clock in the
•veniug. The enemy met every where astable
line, of battle; several lull batteries operted
from a hill in rear of Kerry's line; they were
checked at every point. Gen. Howard lost no
time in rallying and collecting the troo[» of
his command, and when the furious attack
was made upon Berry about midnight he
inarched them forward to the support. At
that time the Are from all the batteries was a
splendid spectacle and must have been terrific
to a foe attempting to approach in the face of
it. They were soon driven back, as they were
in every similar attempt, aud there were sever
al during the night.
Before leaving that day's account I cannot
fail to mention the death of C'apt. Dessous,
one of (Jeu. Howard's aids de canp. He fell,
shot through the body, while bravely halting
and rallying one of the fleeing regiments. He
showed no regard for {lersonul safety in his
zeal for the cause and was indefatigable in his
efforts to execute the orders and fulfil the de
sires of his General.
Between two and three in the morning, Gen.
Hooker settled upon a re-arrangement of his
lines, and the 11th corps took the extreme left
resting on the river. The 1st corps which had
crossed last, formed the right and also rested
on the river at United States Ford. Then
came the. 5th, then the 3rd, the 12th and the
2d which touched the right of the 11 th and
was mostly in reserve. The right of the 11th
was now about three fourths of a mile from
Chancel!orvil!e, near the Ely's Ford road. On
Sunday morning the battle o|>encd In front of
Meade (5th corjw) ; one of his brigades went
into the woods and fought desperately. Ar
tillery cooperated from a good position on the
right, and for a while the roar of battle was
truly deafening. Much of the 2nd corps sup
ported Meade on his left, and in his entire di
vision. They drove the rebels at every point,
and Carroll's brigade went through the
woods in the pursuit till they reached the ritle
pits which had been abandoned by the 11th
corps me evening oeiore. iney couia not re
tail) so advanced a position, however, especial
ly as the rebels had made meanwh'le an over
whelming onset upon what was now our cen
ter, in front of Cliancellorville. The 3rd corps
was driven from Its position. Even the line of
(ien. Berry was compelleil to yield, and the
brave and gallant General here gave of his life
for his country. The 12th corps also gave
way, and Chancellorville was given up—the
3rd and 12th retiring under cover ofSnmtier's
old division of the2ud corps, now commanded
by Hancock.
(ien. Hooker kept his headquarters at Chan
cellorvllle, until the shot and shells fti'wa!>out
him like a storm of enormous hail-stones.
These projectiles, unlike hail-stone:, however,
had fearful explosive quality and all carried a
destruction in their path which comparisons
fail to convey to the mind. There were ladies
at the Chancellor house. They were taken
away by Lieut. Col. Dickenson ol Hooker's statf
alter the firing became very hot. One of the
ladies fainted. It was a forlorn sight, to see
that trou|>e passing through our lines at such
a time. Soon after they left, the house, which
was a large and elesant mansion, took fire and
burned to the ground.
Again our lines were re-cnns'.ructed. The
fierceness of the light was over before noon.
The 12th was put upon the left of the 11th
corps sharing its line all the way. These two
corps now formed one side of a triangle rest
ing ii|)on the Kappahnnnock on the left. The
river was the base of the triangle — the foot
between Slocum and United States Kord, a
b/iut a mile and a liait". The other side of the
triangle was formed by the 1st and 5tb corp·.
The 2nd and 3rd were accumulated at the an
gle, which was cleared ground about a two
storied white house near which were Hooker's
headquarters, upon the Ely's Kord road not far
from where the United States Ford road (along
which lay the 1st corps) forms a junction îjith
it. Here was a strong position for artillery,
and it was undoubtedly the key to the posi
tion of the army as now located. This was
the position Monday and Tuesday.
On Monday night a council of war was held
at Gen. Hooker's headquarters. It was deci
ded to withdraw the army Tuesday night. I
shall be allowed to say that this ilecinion tenu
certainly not nn<tninti>u*. On Monday and
Tuesday the line of the 11th corps was sever
al times tried, but they held their position be
hind the strong defenses which hail been con
structed of logs and earth, and easily repelled
every attempt of the enemy in that quarter.
Gen. Howard was several times a target for
rebel sharpshooters, as lie would not go out of
sight of his front line. The horse of his Ad
jutant General was shot under him as he rode
by the side of the General on Tuesday.
On taking this line on the left Gen. How
ard obtained by request of Gen. Couch the
64th New York regiment—one of those which
followed him at Fair Oaks—and posted it in
the rear of Gilsa's brigade, which was the tlrst
to break the Saturday before, with instructions
to shoot every man who ran back. The (14th
greeted the General with a cheer, and he knew
that they would not only obey, orders, but
would never leave their position.
On Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock the army
was to begin the crossing ; but the storm car
ried away the bridges, ami it was 3 A. M. be
fore the 11th corps started. The 11th was the
last to leave its position. The 5th was drawn
up at the bridge head, to repel any attack
while the other troops were crossing. A kind
Providence prevented any disaster. In fact it is
thought thatthe rebels retreated the same night.
I will not here discuss the wisdom of these pro
ceeding». I trust we shall soon be in motion
again, and towards the rebel army, and that
the lltli corps will have an early opportunity
to win a more desirable reputation than it now
lias—and this I confidently expect.

MRS. MANCHESTER
IS constantly receiving unsolicited Testimoniale
of the astonithing curet performed by her.
Among many recently received are tlie following,
which are commended to the notice of the afflict
ed. Mrs. Manchester may be consulted at the
Preble House, Portland, Rooms Nos. 40 and 41.
Another verv bad Case of Fits cored by
Mrs. Manchester.
Thinking a statement of my case may be of
some benefit to others similarly affected, I will
give it to the public : i^ome years ago I was at
tacked with spasms, and had them often ; final
ly they became very hard Fits ; I would have
them at any time and in any place. I have been
to a number of physicians, and all to no pur
pose. I grew worse until I was almost unfit for
any business. I came to the conclusion to cal
on Mrs. Manchester, through a friend's persua
sion. I did call on her. She gave me a satis
factory examination in every particular—she
told me that she could cure me, but that the pro
cess would be alow. I commenced taking her
medicine ; the disease gradually lessened, not
having the fits so often or as hard. Finally my
general health gained in the meantime, and for
several months I have not had any of the fits,
and can truly say that I think Mrs. Manchester
has been my benefactor. For further particu
lars call on me at my residence, 88 State street.

Mm. Makphestf.r—Dear JMaAtim :—Think
ing a statement of my case may be of service to
others similarly afflicted, I hasten to give it to
you.
This is briefly my case—I was taken sick about
18 months ago with the Liver Complaint in a
very bad form. I applied to four different phy
sicians, but received no benefit until I called on
you. At thatjtime I had given up business, and
«ras in a very bad state, but after taking your
medicine for a short time I began to recover,and
η two months I was entirely well, and had gain
ed several pounds of flesh, and can truly say
that by j'onr skill I am a perfectly healthy man.
Joseph Davis.

Limington, July 10th.
This is to certify that I have been cured of
Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint and Female Weak
ness, by Mrs. Manchester, after I had been giv
en up by twelve or fifteen physicians ; and when
I commenced taking her medicine I was so weak
that I could not bear the least food on my stom
%ch; but in a very short timti I began to recover,
and have rapidly regained my health, and am
now going on a long journey. I would heartily
recommend all invalids to go and see her above
all other physicians. Abby L. Higuins.
I wish to say to the public generally that I
calle-1 on Mrs. Manchester with a child of mine
that had fits, and had had them for five years;
I carried him to a great number of physicians,
but they all did him no good, and he finally
grew worse. I took him to Mrs. >f. ; she told
me what his complaint was, and how he was
while in the fits,and told me she could cure him,
and she has, for he has never had but two fits
since, and before that he had them every night

I wish to say for the benefit of my fellow citi

ty years* standing, have tried various remedies,
and a number of physicians, and I must truly
say that I have never got any relief until I call
ed on Mrs. Manchester, and in one month I was
relieved of it.
