The Federal generals, Sedgwick, Warren, and Hancock, with Burnside in reserve, fell upon Hill and Ewell. Both sides had thrown up earthworks and felled trees as a protection during the night.
As the late lamented Professor Sedgwick has well said: And if we limit our inquiries, and ask what was the interval of time between the newest bed of gravel near Cambridge, and the oldest bed of bogland or silt in Cambridgeshire and Norfolk, we are utterly at a loss for a definite answer. The interval of time may have been very great. But we have no scale on which to measure it.
"Tom's in with us." "He understands this ain't a pleasure excursion, doesn't he?" I asked. "Folks take their pleasure different, Mr. Sedgwick," drawled the cowman. "I shouldn't wonder but I might enjoy this little cruise even if it gets lively." "My opinion is that it may get as lively as one of your own broncos," I explained. "I'll certainly hope for the worst," he commented.
To Miss Catherine M. Sedgwick. SHEFFIELD, March 28, 1866. MY DEAR FRIEND, To-day I am seventy-two years old. If I write to any one to-day, it must be to some one whose friendship is nearly as old as myself. Looking about me, I find no such one but you. Fifty years I have known you.
Sedgwick's face kindled with the ghost of a laugh, and he agreed that Jordan's theory was not a bad one. "But, Jim," said Jordan, "this war er famous old place after all." "Yes," said Sedgwick; "history has compiled some of its wonderful pages right here. We are where the Great Armada sailed, the souls of those on board believing they were going to make the conquest of England.
"At $4 per day, this is not bad, Browning," said Sedgwick. "This secures the hill farm of old Jasper three hundred acres at forty dollars per acre does it not, Sedgwick?" said Browning. They ordered $10,000 to be placed to the credit of the hospitals and bought exchange on New York and London for $1,000,000. The rest they took with them in money. In dividing there was a little dispute.
"Who'd have thought they were such a set of cowards?" said a young militia officer, contemptuously. "They are not cowards," replied Sedgwick reprovingly. "They're the same men who fought at Bennington, but it takes away their courage to feel they're arrayed against their own neighbors and the law of the land."
The Russian struggled with his rage, fought it down, and again found his ironic smile. "I am under the impression that it would have bought me a map if it had not been for your arrival, sir." "Too bad I spoiled yore game, then." "For the present," amended the defeated man. "I am a person of much resource, Mr. Sedgwick will tell you."
That's a nice girl you stole the bob-cat from, but if she were a sister of mine, I'd choke off that army man who's been trotting round after her most of the day." "What's the matter with Captain Sedgwick?" "He has a greedy eye. He'll play any game he goes into for his own hand. Not an unusual plan, but there's generally a code of rules and if it's going to pay him, Sedgwick will break them.
It is difficult to discover a single error committed by him, in the whole series of movements, from the moment when General Sedgwick crossed at Fredericksburg, to the time of General Hooker's retreat beyond the Rappahannock.
