gr ?:?<i arri by aero limier liurnsidc,
!i )Jki.?r au?! * * run t in the successive
?ta vis l"t Iliehuiond. There were
:'.. rs in tin- party who ha?! been with
I. and Jackson und Longstreet.
What they marveled at most wa- that
thirty-odd years after they faced each
other ob thc bloodiest fields .<!' the
war they came to lina the same build
ings, the saine proportion- of farm
and forest, thc same roads and stone
walls. Perhaps nowhere else in all
of thc States which furnished lighting ;
g rou ml could there Le found so little
chauge as here. It is almost as if thc j
Almighty had said to thc shrines of .
\morion's greatest sacrifices, "I'eace!
Ile Still!" and thereafter the progres
sive hand ol' mau had been stayed for
a third ol' a century.
The engineers and their party rode i
. ?ut of Fredcricksburg by what was ,
the peach orchard over which Hum- ,
side's lines uf hattie advance 1 to thc
impossible attack upon Maryc's
Heights in December of ist?. They
passed along the sunken road and in
fr? nt of thc stone wall ai the foot of
the heights, where dead men lay so j
thick that December morning ol' IHiiLi ,
that, as a local historian said it was
possible to walk for a quarter of II
mile stepping from corpse to corpse. ?
From this awe-inspiring sjiot the party
took the old Orange plank road and ?
went due west over a gently undulating
country with wheat in the shock, the
corn knee high and the grass ready for .
thc mower. Some of the farms have
passed to thc possession of others ,
than those who held them a third of a '
century ago. Hut in many cases thc |
buildings and the fields arc as they
were.
Tour miles out on thc plank road is j
Salem church, a plain brick structure, |
standing at a convenient crossroads,
with a little graveyard behind and no
houses immediately near-a place of
worship in the woods typical of thc
old Virginia custom. Sedgwick, with
his corps, came out thc plank road on
the ?Uh of May, I8t?. He had cross
ed the river near Fredericksburg and
had stormed Maryc's Heights success
fully, because ' his longer lines were
able to wrap themselves around thc
flanks of thc smaller forec Lee had
left there to cheeky this movement.
Sedgwick was on the way by forced
mardi to reach Hooker nt Chancellors
ville. Having won thc second Frcd
cricksburg, where Burnside had failed
sb signally thc previous December, he
proceeded out thc plank road, but
wheu he reached Salem church, a lit
tle less thau half of the way to Chan
cellorsville, he came upon McLaw's
division, posted to stop him. And
thcu followed a day of fighting which
has gone into history as thc battle of
Salem church and which is only
dwarfed by thc much heavier losses
on the neighboring fields. Thc walls
of thc brick church are scarred and
perforated with the cannon and mus
ket balls. Frank Hume. a Washing
ion merchant, who was in the fighting
at Fredcricksburg, tells how the
wounded were brought into Salem
church all night long to be treated by
the surgeons. Thc operating tables
were near the altar. A window near
was oj ion, and as thc shattered limbs
were taken off they were tossed out
through that window.
"On the morning after thc battle,"
-aid Mr. Hume, "1 saw in front of
that window a heap of arms and legs
higher than my head."
Where those operating tables stood
and where that ghastly work went on
fill night there is to day a memorial
altar, in front of which the farmers
worship. It was erected by thc joint
contributions of survivors of a South
Carolina regiment and a new Jersey
regiment which fought each other
desperately at the church in I80il.
And tho Sunday school of Salem
is to-day supported by an annual con
tribution of an army post in New
Jeraoy.
Sedgwick was dolayed by having to
take Maryo's Heights. Ue was more
severely checked at Salem church, be
ing compelled to draw off after the
fighting of May 5, aflpi to make his
way to the northward toward the
Happahannock instead of prooeeding
straight along the plank road to thc
support of Hooker, only half a dozen
miles away.
Salem church is left behind for a
succession of rolling farms, with fre
quent strips of dense timber. The
farm houses are set well back from
the plank road upon thc elevations
commanding thc surrounding fields.
Each has its clump of stately trees
and its look of simple comfort. Bat
the soil is none too fertile. Much of
the corn is what a western farmer
would call spindling and light in color.
And yet thc strips of forest, with the

Jackson consulted and devised one of
the mo.?t noteworthy of strategic
movements ou the morning of thc 2d
of May, ISO.'!. Hooker's army, ex
cepting Sedgwick's corps, was stretch
ed in a long line less than two miles
away. Hooker himself was making
the Chancellor mansion his head
quarter-. His divisions were ulong
thc plank road and in the woods near
it. His left was turned back around
the eastern side of thc Chancellor
mansion. His right lay westward
down the plunk road, covering a dis
tance of two n;iles ur more. lt was a
magnificent position. A civilian can
see its strength to-day. Around the
Chancellor house were open fields in
which to place the guns and to ar
range the supporters. Fringing thc
fields was the timber, in which the
line ol' battle had been formed in rifle
pits to await thc attack. And thc
very nature of the respective positions
forced Lee to assume thc offensive or
to retreat down the Catharpen road to
ward Richmond. Numbers as well as
position favored Hooker. At I'rcdcr
icksburg was Sedgwick getting ready
to come up in the rear of thc Confede
rate army.
On that morning, under the oak still
standing, a betting man would have
j said that Hooker had by all odds thc
best of it. Jackson's proposition was
daring. He asked Lee to let him take
his command, 22,000 men, about two
thirds of thc force present, and march
away down the Catharpen road. This
road would be called not much more
than a path in some parts of the coun
try. It is narrow. It winds through
the forest so closely bordered that
large trees make au arch overhead.
The undergrowth is so thick that at a
distance of 100 yards passers on the
road cannot bc sec.n. Lee consented
rather dubiously. Tho 'proposition
was better than a retreat, which was
about all that could be said of it as a
promise of results. Living to-day on
thc battlefield is James Talley, a well
preserved, substantial old farmer, who
was sent for by Lee, and assigned to
guido Jackson. Mr. Talley tells how
the 22,000 men were put in motion
immediately down thc Catharpen road.
He led the way by a course rapidly di
verging from Hooker's front.
At thc start Hooker was only two
miles or less away. Hut Jackson's
column widened the distance until
three or four miles separated it from
the 1'nion front. From time to time
oommands were sent out int" the
wooes between the marching column
and the front of Hooker to do some
shooting and a good deal of shouting,
with thc idea of making the Federals
believe an attack was coming from
that direction. Thc Catharpeii road
was followed to the fork, where the
Furnace road bears off to the west
ward. Tally conducted Jackson into
thc Furnace road. Thence the route
was almost parallel to Hooker's front,
but three miles or so to thc south. It
led past thc (dd furnace. Talley came
to a cross road, a narrow neighborhood
lane connecting thc Furnace road with
thc Orange plank road. It had been
tuc purpose to turn up this road and
to form at that point thc lines for
attack upon the front of Hooker's
right, which was along the plank road.
But Talley says that just before the
advance, which he was guiding, reach
ed this cross road, an old negro came
running to meet them and told them
thc Yankees were cooking supper and
could bc seen from a hill on thc cross
road. Calling Tally to go with them,
Jackson and Fitzhugh Lee galloped
up thc cross road to the hill. There,
looking across the intervening woods
a mile or more, they saw the men of
Howard's Eleventh corps, with arms
stacked in the open fields along the
plank road, their camp fires smoking.
Jackson grasped the situation at a
glance. He saw that his intentions
were wholly unknown to the Federal
commanders. He saw that there was
opportunity to make the surprise even
more complete than he had expected.
Turning to Lee he told him to go back
to prevent the column from turning
into the cross road and to keep it
moving right on westward by the Fur
nace road. Jackson followed, and his
army went right on beyond thc un
conscious I nion troop- two miles to
thc right. Thc westward course was
continued until it brought thc van.
with Talley guiding, to thc Brock
roads, leading northward to the < ?range
toad. I'|> the Brock road .Jackson
turned hi- column at quickening step.
About where Howard'.- corp.- was
cooking meal and collet- and getting
ready lor i peaceful night, thc Orange
road fork- into thc Orange pike and
thc Orange plank road. The plank
road is south. After diverging for'
some distance the plank road runs
nearly parallel with the pike, with a
distance of a mile or so between. As
his column moved along across these
two roads it executed a movement
which brought it into position for
action almost without baiting. Battle
lines were formed facing east. From
marching northward in a column, the
divisions, as fast as they reached the
pike and lapped over, faced to the
right and presented a battle front.
Tally says there were, three lines, thc
front in heavy skirmishing order* the
other- solid and heavy. There was
hardly a check in thc movement. As
thc lines of battle were formed the
men shed knapsacks in long rows and
went forward. A hiil and several
strips of forest made up thc mile
which separated Jackson in battle
formation from Howard's corps. Thc
time was ? o'clock in the aftcrnoou.
The sun was casting long shadow.- as
Jackson's lines went forward. Most
of Howard's men never got into posi
tion to face thc onset. They were
caught upon the side and in thc rear.
Regiment after regiment, brigade after
brigade was rolled up into the strug
gling mass as Jackson came on, and
was shoved along eastward. The
Orange road is of generous width. It
was soon filled from side to side with
thc panic-stricken. Thc great roaring
mass moved down thc road toward the
Chancellor mansion, threatening to
break thc Twelfth corps into thc same
confusion. Hooker saw thc mass of
fugitives coming, and with bis staff
faced and charged it. Heroism of
officers gradually drew au organi/.atian
here and another there out of the
wreck. Lines were hurriedly formed
across thc road and in the fields and
woods facing Jackson. When thc
Confederates struck the right of
Howatd in thc beginning, Talley says,
there was no resistance. But the
progress of Jackson's linos grew slower
and slower. The Confederates were
themselves thrown into confusion by
the woods and by thc varying degrees
of resistance encountered at different
parts of thc lines. I >arkness came on.
Whether it was smoke or clouds, the
men who were there agree that the
night was inky. Subordinate officers
appeared to Jackson and urged a halt
until morning, telling how exhausted
their men were and how impossible it
was to maintain their organization in
the confusion which had developed.
The word was given and Jackson's
men lay down to eat the supper
Howard's men had left behind and to
j wait for morning.
Books have been written in thc con
troversial efforts to explain the sur
prise and to locate thc responsibility
for it. Tally lives on the road. His
fields are where Howard's men were
taking things easy. Thc Union sol
diers had slaughtered cattle in thc
morning, and were cooking the meat
for supper. As thc Confederates
came up they speared gres? hunks of
meat with their bayonets and carried
them along in the charge. Thc house
in which Talley now lives was the
headquarters of Hevens. Across the
road from Talley's is the Hawkins
house, where General Carl Schurz had
his headquarters. Hawkins was at
home that day by no will of his own.
He had been made a prisoner by Gen
eral Schurz. He heard the 'specula
tions of thc Federal officers as the day
wore on. Thc officers had learned
that the Confederates were marching
down thc Catharpen road, and they
interpreted it exactly as Jackson and
Lee intended. They wero sure it
incant retreat. And so they remained
in ignorance of the Confederate plan.
It wasn't until half an hour before
Jackson's lines came charging over
thc fields that there was the slightest
impression of impending danger, and
then it was too late to make any gen
i eral formation of opposing lines. As
the Union troops retired in disorder
and Jackson's lines came up Hawkins
says found himself in thc presenco of
his ova regiment. He was a Confed
erate, and had come homo on a fur
lough. His company charged through
his own door-yard, and he fell in.
Perhaps in thc whole history of the
war there was no such night as fol
lowed. Hooker and his subordinate
generals worked at the reconstruction
of the lines to be ready for the fight
ing which everybody knew must come
at dawn. Bodies of troops were moved
in thc darkness and through the
woods. Hooker had to complete a new
front, faoing Jackson, as well as main
tain his old front faoing Lee. Regi
ments moving to take their places on
countered other' regiments of their
own side, and fired volleys into them
before the mistake was discovered.
The same was true on thc Confederate
side. Scores of soldiers fell that
night from millets fired by their com
rades. <
Great as was thc successs of his.
movement against the right flank,
.Jackson did not rest with thc fruits
of one piece of strategy. Scarcely
had his men lain down by their arms
to wait for daylight when Jackson
began to plan another surprise. He
formed a column of half a do/en regi
ments of cavalry and infantry in thc
rear of his line of battle and sent them
away wi.h Talley as their guide. They
were to go back some distance and
make a detour to thc north, with the
purpose of reaching and rc-inforcing
Stuart, who was moving to g? t a small
force between Hooker and thc fords
of the Happahannock. The additional
regiments which Talley was leading
were to give Stuart the strength to
seize and hold the fords and thus cut
off Hooker's communication with
Washington. This done, Jackson be
lieved tliat the destruction of thc
Union anny was assumed.
But while Talley led the re-enforce
ments away in the darkness Jackson
rode forward to the front and to death.
"If I had been with him," said
Talley, ''what followed would not have
happened. I do not think he realized
what he was doing. I knew every
foot of the way, and could have kept
him out of danger. Jackson rode for
ward to lay hi.i plans for the morning.
I believe he was looking for a road
which led off from the plank road to
the northward through the woods in
the direction of thc United States
ford. My idea is that he meant to
throw part of his line further over to
thc north of the Orange road, so as to
bo on Hooker's rear, as well as his
flank, in the morning, and thus to co
operate with Stuart in cuttiug off re
treat. This road leading through thc
woods was just where our advance
line had rested at the close of the
fighting. Jackson had given strict or
ders to fire on any one seen approach
i og from the Federal side. He rodt
forward by the plank road and turnee
into thc woods, v' ere this road to th<
ford branched off. It was very dark
I don't believe Jackson knew that hi
had passed his own outposts. He hat
gone along this branch road only ?
hundred yards or so when some soldie
down the Confederate line fired. Thei
there was another shot, and another
as I heard the story from one of th
couriers who was with. Jackson. Th
firing came along the line until oppo
site where Jackson and his party were
and then it became a volley directe
toward them. Nearly every horse wa
killed. Several of the party wer
shot. Jackson was hit io both armt
His horse plunged away from the Con
federate line toward the Federals, bu
thc general was just able to turn hil
back and to*go a few yards, when h
foll. His men crawled out and foun
him in front of their position."
The Union troops replied to the fii
with which the Confederates had she
Jackson. An officer lay down besid
thc beloved general to shield him wit
his body while waiting for tho streiche
and was shot. A stretcher bearer wi
struck as thc general was being carrie
to the rear, and the stretcher fel
giving Jackson a severe shook. Tl
simple but massive monument of grai
itc says, "On this spot fell mortal
wounded Thomas J. Jackson." Tl
ex-Confederates who were with Jae
sou say that the exposure and wea
ness, aggravated by the moving of tl
wounded man from place to plao
brought on pneumonia, which result
fatally several days after the woun
were received. The words which L
uttered standing beside Jackson a
engraved on one face of the monumcn
"Could I have direoted events,
should have chosen, for thc good
the country, to have been disabled
your stead. I congratulate you up
\hc victory which is due to your sk
and energy."
Another inscription are the lt
words pf Jackson :
"Let us pass over the river and rt
under the shade of thc trees."
The granite monument, surround
by a high iron fence, stands wh<
Jackson lay awaiting the stretcl
after his soldiers found him. Foi
feet in front of it is a massive bould
planted to show where Jackson f

cent Decoration day by Pennsyl
nians, who came with Collis to de

Pennsylvania, Collis' Zouaves, v

Jackson's strategy ended with
fall. Talley led the reinforceme
to Stuart, but they were not emplo;
in the movement intended. Ste
was obliged to give up his demons!
tion against the fords and to t
Jaekson'8 command. The fight
seemed continuous on some parti
the field all night, but whoo mt
ing carno it became desperate all al
tho lines. Thc 2d of May was
day of strategy at Chancollorsvi
Tho 3d of May was the day of the 1
tte. Hooker saved his anny*
tried to follow tap thc advantage
the day before, but the resistance was
too much for him. Gradually the
I nion army fell back from Chancel
lorsville. Sedgcwick's forced march
to the relief of Hooker was foiled by
the battle at Salem Church on the 5th.
Retiring slowly. Hooker recrossed the
Rappahannock. The second start for
Richmond by this route had failed.
For twelve months Confederate wagons
were engaged in hauling oil the field
of Chancellorsville the war material
which Hooker left behind.
To Chancellorsville attaches the
iuinr.'.-sion of a town, or at least a
village. Chancellorsville was a mag
itifieeot estate before the war. It had
a great mansion, where fifty people
could be accommodated, with out
buildings and quarters, far-spreading
fields, and mineral springs once of
considerable note. To-day a half of
the great mansion stauds, au imposing
structure on its elevation. Studded
in the massive walls arc cannon balls
and jagged pieces of shells. The barn
has disappeared. Thc outbuildings
are reduced in number.. The cultiva
tion of the fields is only partial. For
miles through the woods can be fol
lowed the earthworks which thc men
of Hooker and of Lee builded while
they faced each other. Chancellors
ville and the fields and woods sur
rounding form one link in thc chain
of battlefields from Fredericksburg to
Spottsylvania which the government
is to acquire and to preserve.
