But his mistake was of such a serious character that Lee rode with the troops to oppose Sedgwick, and Hooker got safely over the river. Hooker was determined to make the best of the cam- paign, and so issued the following order : " Headquarters, " Army of the Potomac, " May 6, 1863. " The major-general commanding tenders to this army his congratulations in its achievements of the last seven days. ... By your celerity and secrecy of move- ment our advance and passage of the river was undis- pute...d, and on our withdrawal not a rebel ventured to follow. . . . " By command of Major-General Hooker.

The President said if Hooker had been killed by the shot that knocked over the pillar that stunned him, we should have been successful. " Sumner said he knew Hooker to be a blasphemous wretch. At Chancellorsville he exclaimed, ' The enemy are in my power, and God Almighty cannot deprive me of them.' " That was all cabinet meeting talk.
