WAaniNQTON, D. C., May 15,1861.
To the Cdltors of tht Chicago Trlbun*
GENTLEMEN—On mj return from tbe
front three days ago, I found jour favor
of the 6th inst., urging the forwarding
of reinforcementa to the greateit posaible
extent. I can well .appreciate your in
tense anxiety, but you will hare seen
that the very thing you suggest is being
done. The campaign of Lieutenant Gen­|Hancock,
eral Grant, now in progress, must be re
garded as one of the most important and
stupendous of which history makes men
tion, taking into consideration the great
numbers of both armies, the character of
the troops, the country to operate in,
and the vast results depending. It was
my fortune to be with General Grant
from the commencement of the move
ment, the 4th of this month, through
(he six days of battle, and into the sev
enth, when I left, as the bearer of im
portant dispatches from the General to
the War Department.
I cannot pretend to give you, in tbe
limits of a nasty letter, any just idea of
the great movements and battles of the
six days I witnessed. The experiences
of more than a lifetime were crowded in*
to those eventful and exciting days. I
arrived at Gen. Grant's headquarters, at
Culpepper C. II., Va., on Tuesday after
noon, May 3, 1864. So well had the
General guarded his great secret, that
hardly an officer, and none of the troops,
knew when the movement was going to
be made. After dark on that night, the
orders were given to move at precisely
midnight. So quietly and stilly was ev
erything done, that the people of the
village knew nothing of what was going
on, and when they awoke in the morn
ing, what Was their astonishment to find
that our whole army had disappeared, as
if by mngic.
The great thing was to seite the prop
er fords, and get the army across tbe i
Rspidan, before Lee could interfero to
resist the crossing of that river So
completely was the rebel Genersl deceiv
ed as to where wo intended to cross,that
by Wednesday night, the entire army of!
the Potomac was safely over, while
Burnside's corps (not belonging to the
Potomac army) was coming up as rapidly i
as possible. Ilia first troops catna up to
the river early Thursday morning. Lee
finding Grant on the move, "onward to
Richmond," by the lower fords of the
RapiJan, was obliged to come cut from
his intrenchnieots nt "Mine Run" and
attack on Grant's flank in order to pre—
vent our forces getting between him and i
Richmond, and fight him on equal i
ground. The two armiea came together
in the "Wilderness" about noon Thurs
dsy, May 5th. Grant's orders were to
attack the enemy instantly at every point
where lie appeared.
By three o'clock in the afternoon the
lines of battle were formed along the
whole line, and both armies heavily en
gaged. Both sides attacked with great
fury along the entire line, but so dense
was the wilderness, and so thick the un
dergrowth, it was absolutely impossible
to see anything of the battle at any point.
The enemy knowing the ground, knew
But the great fight of all was on the
•ext dsy, Friday. The rebels opened on
the right at 4:45 a. m., and our attack
along the whole line began at 5 o'clock
precisely. Hancock went in on our left
with the dash and courage which belongs
to him, and which has rendered his name
immortal. He attacked with unsurpass
ed fury, and drove the enemy for a mile
and a half, taking one line of works and
captaring many prisoners and several i
flags. The enemy finding his right like
ly to bo turned by Hancock's masterly
attack, saw that his salvation depended
upon pushing back Hancock and turning
bini.
At about 4 o'clock, p. m., Lee again
•taased his forces tor a last and grand i
assault. It cam* and it waa terrific—
The rebela seem to have staked all on
that attack—up, np, up, they pushed on
our columna, which overpowered by num
bers, wore slowly erowded back, contest
ing every inch of ground. Falling back
gradually, our soldier* got to their rifle
pits. Tbe timbers have been cut down
in their front, so tbey can frave a fair
ahot. On came tho enemy, flushed with i
the maddened hope of certain success—a
lebel color-beares advances clean np to
fihe rifle-pit and places his standard defi
antly on the top. Then rise up our

waa attacking on tho right. 8o all
around there was the most desperate and
determined fighting, but the enemy fail

night, they surprised and drove a brigade
whiob held our extreme right. This
misfortune was soon repaired by the

this msrch, and we arrived at "Todd's
Tavern" about 1 or 2 o'clock in the morn

till about 8 o'clock, and then went to
Piney Branch Church and established
headquarters.

H., Sunday morning,
Warren encountered Longstreet's corps,
which had got ahead of him. Ho im
mediately attacked, but rebel reinforce
ments came iu faster than oura. There
waa heavy fighting all day, and our losses
were very severe. We were not enabled
to get ahead much on Sunday. On Mon
day there was much skirmishing along
the line, but the main fighting waa done
by Hancock, who crosscd the river Po,
and obtained what he supposed to be a
strong position, but which, from an un
known bend in the river, turned out not
to be so valuable.
On Tuesday morning, heavy skirmtah
ing was begun by our troops from one end
of the line to the jthcr. A little after
mid-day, thinking that Hancock had got
himself into a bad position by crossing
the Po, Lee massed a very superior force J1
to attack him. Hancock, seeing what
was coming, quietly retired to this side
of the I'o, and took tfp a new position.
Here the enemy made one of his moat
terrific charges upon him, which was not
1
where it was best to attack. He com
menced early his old tactica, by massing
his entire force upon a particular part of
oar line. It was Hancock's position on
our left, which it was necessary for him
to win, as he (Hancock) held the road
towards Richmond, and with him once
driven from that position, our army
would be at great disadvantage. Long
street and Hill's corps pitched into Han
cock with great impetuosity, about 4
o'clock in the afternoon, with the full
expectation of driving him away, and I
getting possession of the coveted road.
Bat Hancock was equal to the occssion.
With several members of General Grant's
•taff, I rode out to whero Hancock was
at the very height of the battle, and
never did a soldier meet an attack with
mora courage, coolness and skill, repell
ing every assault upon his lines with
great slaughter. Aa we rode back to
headquarters, some two miles, the road
waa literally filled by our wounded sol
diers, making their way back to the hos
pitals, and it was a most ghaatly and
heart-rending spectacle. The great nurn- I

Then began tho assault whioh old offi
eers and soldier' tell me was without a
parallel in this war. No language can
give any idea of that dreadful charge by
our forcea on tbe enemy's line of defence.
The sslvos of artillery, the terrible roll
of musketry, the shouts of our own brave
hearted soldiers, ns they rushed to the
deadly breach, rising above all the din of
battle, made an impression on the centrc
and part of our left, till darkness closed
in upon the bloody soeno. Our troops
had driven the enemy, and carried his
first line of Works, and aa t« turned tn
ride back to the headquarters, the shouts
of our victorious heroes were still ring
ing in our ears. In this chsrge Wright,
on the left, had captured an entire rebel
in the. melco and confusion some of the
risoncrs got away, and we could not
ing off the gnns.
K
But after the battle had closed in the
front, Burnside was moving bis forces
upon our extreme left upon the right of
the enemy, pushing bim back vigorously
till ten o'clock at nrglit, when he found
himself within one quarter of a rjile of
Spotsylvania Court Houso. Thus ended
the great work of Tuesday, a real and
substantial vietory, inspiring our officers
and soldiers with renewed confidence.—»
The enemy was not only beaten and driv
en, but his'losaes were vastly heavier than
our own.
Of the fighting since Wednesday morn
ing, I can give no personal description
of, but it has been one continued success,
tnrt purchased by tho moat desperate ex
ertions, and the most superhuman cour
sge snd persistence of ovr troops.
When I left the front on Wednesday,
all seemed to feel that the great crisis bad
passed, sod that our success was oertaio.
