Kitt) AMONG HEROES. Y Lit JACKSON Al' TUB HAT OK CIIANCKM.OK.SVI1.1.K. The Tributo of i\ Federal Soldier to tho Military Genta* of "tho Most Ablo Lieu tenant ot'our C?TII War." The fourth lecture of il serio? Oil the civil war at the Lowell Institute, Bos ton, was delivered some tune ago by Col. Theodora A. Dodge, one ol'the best known men in Boston military circles. He served constantly Hi the Anny of tho Potomac (in every volunteer reg intentai rank up to that Of colonel), from thc Peninsula, where lie was with Kearney, through Pope's and Burnside's campaigns, and at Chan cellorsville and Gettysburg. The sul.'joct of Col. Dodge's lecture was "Chancellorsville," and particu larly the great Hank movement of Stonewall Jackson which turned tho lido of war on thc memorable second of May, 1862. Col." Dodge related in detail the movements of the Army of tho Polo mac which lcd to their assuming posi tion at Chancellorsville, and gives the position ot tho two annies when they confronted each other on the day ol the great battle between Lee and Hooker. Col. Dodge says: Thc Arni, of the Potomac on Fri day night, lay huddled in the chappa ral around Cheticellorsville, instead of occupy, as they might, a well deli ned position on the open ground in front Bank's Ford. Gradually during thu night the several corps drifted, weary and disheartened at this unexplained check in the midst ol'success, into the position which they had taken up alter crossing the river, without any ?doa ol' lighting there. Tho lino was thus a haphazard one, on the worst conceiva ble ground, where cavalry was useless, artillery confined to tho roads or to a few open spaces, and infantry hidden or paralj zod. During this.night, while thc Anny of Northern Virginia was moving into position in front of its gigantic, but apparently unnerved oucmy, Lee ami Jackson developed a plan for an attack upon our right, which, though posted on high ground, was really in the air. Loo may have originated lilt plan, but il bears a distinctly Jack sonian flavor; and, surely, wilhoui such a lieutenant io execute it, Lei would never have dreamed ol' making such a risky move. The plan gav? Jackson ubqtll 24,000 men with whicl lo undertake a mareil around om right flank lo a position where Ix might cut us oft'from United Stale Ford. It was ultruhazardou*, for i separated a small army in the presche* of a large one. lt was justifiable onC ou the ground that i loo. ur evident!; meant Lo retain thc defensive; ?li it tin movement would bo screened from bli oyo by tue woods; thai there seeinet no more available plan, that some im mediate action was demanded. Hat it failed, it would have met the ccu sure of over j soldier. No maxim o tactics appl es tu it so well as th proverb, "Nothing venture, nolhinj gain." Although Jackson's corps had bee; on foot ?lld partially engaged for som thirty hours, the men set out on t li i new mareil with cheerful alacrity They could always follow "Old Jack with their eyes shut. Stuart's cavalr masked the advance. Jackson did nt know that his column would have t pass soinu open ground in full view < our line at Dowdail's until too late t have it follow a botter concealed 1'OUU Early Saturday morning tue mov? ment was discovered by the 3d corpi and a reconnoissancu was pushed on to embarrass its advance. Atter som trouble and a slight and sin ccssful in tack, Birney ascertaine and reported that Jackson wt moving over to our right. The coi elusion which Hooker drew from th fact was apparently that Lee was ri treating. Jackson meanwhile keepin Sickles busy with a small rear guan advanced along the Brook road null toward afternoon, he was abreast ali in the rear ot our right flank. Wbi be was thus amassing his men to tal tlie Army of ttte Potomac in revers Hooker continued to authorize Sickli to deplete the threatened wing I sending a largo part of i's availab strengte (Barlow, Birney, Whipp and Geary in part-some 10,000 mei out ill the woods in I he hope of ea turing the force which had long s< eluded his grasp and was ready to ft upon our roar. I looker s's right fhn ot barely 10,000 men was complete isolated. Ami yet, though scout pickets and au actual attack ;5.;io p. m. proved beyond pored ve titre, Jackson's presence at this poii Hooker allowed this flank to be he by an untried corps composed of tl most heterogeneous and untriisiwo thy elements in the Army of the Pot mac. This march of Jackson's might first blush have been construed I Hooker to be either a retreat strategic march by Lee to new groin or to be a threatened Hank atnie Either would have been ticcoiiipant by thc same tactical symptoms win now appeared. If the former, Hook ?ind his option to attack at an ear or late pi riod, more ot less vigorousl a? might appear best to him. Hook afterward claimed that be believed i thc flank attack. But the testimony his dispatches at the limo finds hi riding both horses, and he acted . the retreat theory. At 6:80 a. m. bad notified Slocum and Howard look out and prepare tor a flank alta and to post heavy reserves to nu one. Jle telegraphed Sedgwick nt 4: p. m., "Wo know that the enemy flying, Irving lo save thc trui .is." the meantime he bad removed t heavy reserves in question mid se them out on Sickies s wild gooso cha to the front. He made no inspect ii of flu- right except one early inti Howard, commanding on the rigl misled by Hooker's orders ami apatn hohl to the retreat theory. He Int on the receipt of thc i>:?>0 order, di posed Barlow's brigada nod his reser artillery so as lo resist au attack al<i the pike, but Barlow had boen orden by Hooker to join Sickles. Ge 1 levens mudo several distinct attemp to impress on Howard tho danger an attack, but tho latter took his colo as well ns hin orders, from the cot mander of the army. Gen. Ca Schurz, under whom I sorved th day, also held strongly to the flai attack tneory, and scores of men thc 11th corps, after thc picket fig of 8:30 p. m., fully believed th euoiher attack would be mado In tl samo place. Common generosity i tho memory of Hooker, who wa* gallant and successful corps comraam er, leads ns to think that at the tin hu believed thut that enemy was ra? treating. His neglect of the right WHS otherwiss criminal. In him alone centered all tho information of con stantly occurring chances. To him alone was reported each now cirontn Btauee. His subordinates knew hut tho partial truth. They rolled on him for the initiative. At 6 p. m., then, tho situation was this: The left and centro lay as before. Howard held tho right, tho "key of the position," with 10,000 men, a half brigade Of Dcvcns only astride tho pike, tho rest of of Devens's and Schurz'? forces facing south, aud St oin w ber massed at Dowdall's. How ard's best brigade was gono and lhere was not u mau to support him between Dowdall's and Chancellorsville, for this portion of thc line under Sickles had been advanced into the woods nearly two milos. On tho right flank of this littlo force lay Jackson's corps of over 20,000 mon, whoso wide wings, like tho arms of a gigantic cuttlefish, were ready to clutch it in their fatal embrace. To covor Jackson's march, Lee at intervals during tho day tapped at thc lines in front, principally wncre Hancock lay. During all tliis aftornoon Ilookor had a chance handsomely to redeem his Friday's error in rotiring into the Wilderness. Whatever thc rea-ion, thc fact that Lee had divided his army remained clear. Lee, with the right wing, had but 18,000 men. Hooker know that he could not have more thaif 20,000. Ho himself had 70,000 splen did troops. Ile could have crushed Lee like an egg shell, and thou have turned on Jackson. But, with a knowledge of Jackson's habit of mys tory, of his wonderful speed and fight ing capacity, and of hi* presence on our right, with all the means of knowl edge that this same right Hank wan isolated by two miles of impenetrable wood* from any supporting force, he sat still, folded his hands and patiently waited events. The 11th corps was eating supper. Arms were stacked as thc breastworks looking south were but fairly sub stantial. Facing cast wero none. Som? carelessness was apparent, in thai ambulances, ammunition wagons, pact mules, and oven a drovo of becvei : were close behind thc line. Ever) one was at case, though a few wen ! not wanting in anxiety. Little WU i dcrncss Church, near by, endeavors . to stamp a peaceful air upon the war like scene. Thc general feeling sec m ot i lo he that it was too late to get oj : much of a fight on that day. r Jackson, in three lines, Rhodes ii i advance, Colston next and A. P.

The latter seemed unawa io how important this height might pro' to in his own, how dangerous in Lee a hands. For as his line here made 1 salient, it behooved him to strength! ie it by just such a height or ?Isa to aba don this line of defence. On Sunday morning at daylight Stuart, who succeeded Jackson, ranged hi? 20,060 tuen opposite the Eairview Ol est and supported tlietn by batteries on this same ilazei Grove. * Fairview was crowded by our artillery and de fended by about an equal infantry force on tfio ridge below, consisting of the entire 8 rd corns and Williams of the 12th corps. Anderson and McLuws, with 17,000 mon. still confronted Geary and Hancock with 12,000. Rey nolds bad arrived during tho night, but was posted on the extreme right, away fruin tho scene of actual hostili ties. No other troops were brought into action. Thus thc superior tactics of llie enemy enabled him to outnum ber us at every point of attack, whilo an equal number of availablo Union troops lay upon their arms closo by, witnessing tho unneeded slaughter bf thoir comrades. Tho attack of the Confederates be gan shortly after daylight, with ..Jack son" for a watchword, and was gallant io thc extreme. Anderson pushed in on our left centre, as Stuart did on the right centre, both contending for Hie Chancellor House, which barred their possession of tho turnpike. No praise is too high for tho staunchness of the attack or the stubbornness of the de fence; but, after heavy fighting during tho entire forenoon, Hi? army of thc Potomac yielded to tho Confederate pressure and retired to a new lint! alreadv prepared by its engineers, aud which had its apex at tho While House. Time does not allow UK barest details of this struggle to lu entered upon. Suffice it to say thai thc loss of tho 3rd, 12th and 2nd"corp? of 1.000, 8,000 and 2,000 respective!) effectually gauges the bitterness of UK contest. The Confederate los? was, i anything, higher than ours during ihn Sunday morning. Lee was ie-(ormint for an assault upon our new line whet rumors from Fredericksbnrg divertei his attention. Colonel Dodge also gives Hie reason which induced the Federal command ors after tho battle to retire beyond titi Rappahannock. The total loss of Un Potomac army was 17,200; of lb army of Northern Virginia 12,800. At the conclusion of his led ur Colonel Dodge said : Thc direct result ot Chancollorsvlll was t? 3 second invasion ot the North ern States by Lee, which culminate! in the d?font of the army of Norther Virginia two months later on the hill of Ciel ty shu rg.

From tho amount of pull ing that theso gentlomen had received I expected to hear something grand, but I am sorry to say that I was dis appointed ana 1 am" not alono in my disappointment. Mr. Moody's manner is earnest and his stylo simple, but ttiero is little else to bc said on the subjoct that could not bc said for others. Ho utterly failed to got hi? audience under control. Although there wax tho profoundest silence dur ing his discourse, it was thc silence of thc curious and not of au audience spell-bound by thc cloquouco of thc speaker. Ills attempts to excite the emotions fell flat, though thara were a few earnest responses to his appeals.
