After about three or four hours of fierce firing, all at once it became as still as though there was not a soul any- where around. This continued until about six or seven o'clock in the evening. During this interval of silence and repose various rumors became rife among the men that Lee w^as on the retreat south, and others that he was trying to get back to his entrenchments at Fredericksburg, but how little did we know the events that were taking place on the extreme right of our army and that... before midnight our army would be in danger of either being destroyed or taken prisoners. Early in the morning Stonewall Jackson, with his magnificent corps of tried veterans, consisting of about 30, 000 men, had moved across our front, and marching around to the extreme right flank of the army had, about six o'clock in the evening, at- tacked the right flank, which was held by the Eleventh corps, and broken it all to pieces. Of this, at the time, we knew nothing, as it was supposed that Lee was retreating south and every moment we expected to receive orders to march in pursuit of the rebel army.
