He himself crossed the river higher up, and was ready to strike Lee before the latter was aware of the real nature of what was going on. Then a delay was made by Hooker at Chancellorsville, and before he could move forward Lee was in his front with most of his army, having left some divisions to watch Sedgwick.

By this arrangement twelve suites of rooms would be provided, of which two would be reserved for proctors, and these suites could readily be rented at $200. Aside from all questions of money-getting, however, does it not seem unfortunate that such a historic...
