Sa ae
Manner and
More of the Battle of Edward’s Ferry.
The St. Louis Republican of October 30th
says: A writer, who occupies tbe leading
column of the National Intelligeacer with
ao account of the battle of Edward’s Ferry,
contends tbat, with the exception of the
matter of tracsportation, the affair was well
managed throughout, andin the main accomplished Gen. Stone’s aud Gen. Banks’
plans,
Gen. Baker’s force consisted of 1,700
men—composed of the Marsachusetts 15th,
700, three companies of the Massachusetts
20th, the California Regiment and two companies of the Tammany Regiment. There
were taken along two howitzers, Rickett's
United States battery and one James’s rifled
cannon of the 3d Rhode Island battery.
Near the battle-ground are, he says, two
ferries—Conrad’s at the head of Harrison
Island. and Edwards’s six miles below, on
the direct road from Poolesville to Leesburg. Stone’s plan was to divert attention
from both these points by making a feint
five miles above Edwarde’s Ferry. This
feint was accomplished by sending over Baker with his men, to draw off the main force
of the enemy. Meanwhile, as soon as it was
seen that it was successful, Gen. Stone was
to cross at Edwards’s Ferry. All was executed as designed. Baker crossed above,
and Stone, when he found him engaged,
crossed at Edwards’s Ferry, There, as this
writer argues, “this little force of Baker became, as it were, a forlorn hope, which at
fearful risk and result to themselves, purchased immunity and safe crosssinig for the
main body.” Tis was on Sunday night.
On Monday and Tuesday, Gen. Banks wae
moving up his division from Darnestown,
nine miles below Poolesville, and on
Wednesday began crossing to join General
Stone, The work was within a few hours
of itscompletion, when an an order from
headquarters (Gen, McClellan with his staff
being on the spot) directed the entire force
to recrosé and take up their position on the
Maryland shore. The writer calls this a
change of plan, and adds that it is notin
his power to explain it nor his purpose to
criticise it.
This statement is designed to remove all
blame from Gen, Stone, but confesses a terrible mistake in the matterof transportation, without accounting for it. Unaccounted for, it leaves Gen. Stone toexplain bow he
should deliberately form the plan ascribed
to him, without making all the provisions
possible to insure “the forlorn hope,’’ with
Baker atits head, from the destruction
which was inevitable under the circumstanees. A forlorn hope of 1,700 men, even in
the case supposed, is, it strikes us, a large
sacrifice, and certainly a needless one. Gen.
Scott, is, we suppose, the person intended
by “beadquarters,’”’ as it is added that McClellan was on the ground, which specially
exempts him from all implication.
In some quarters Col, Baker has been accused of rashness and of exceeding bis instructions, On this point, the New York
World says:
Col. Baker wasin charge of the troops
oo the Virginia side, but when the attack
was at its height it was plain that the enemy outnumbered him three to one ; he fell
pierced with bullets, and most of his troops
were shot down, taken prisoners, or driven
toa watery grave inthe Potomac. It is
useless to represent, as has been done, that
this oceurred because Col. Baker exceeded
his instructions. It may be very true that
that lamented officer was previously ordered not to engage io battle in case he found
the enemy in force, bnt it eounds like mockery. Ifthe enemy were in superior force,
of course he would be attacked ; and with
the Potomac bebind him, and with no
means of crossing it but with two or three
wretched scows, he had no alternative but
to accept battle, and sell his own life and
the lives of bis soldiers as dearly as possiible. Col. Baker wasnot at fault. The
blunder was not bis, It lies with those who
sent him with an inadequate force, and unprovided with the means of direct retreat,
if neceseaty, to the main army of 25,000 on
the other bank. The people will eee to it
that this miserable error, which all ean understand, attaches to just where it belongs,
among living men, and not to its victim
now speechless in his coffin,
Tne Forces ix tue Fieio.—The New
York Herald, of October 25th, says it bas
compiled from reliable sources, a table
showing that we have now in the field, or
on the way to the seat of war, an army of
five hundred and twelve thousand men! Of
these, 35,500 are cavalry and 5,300 artillery.
ABSENCE OF Minp.—The San Bernardino
Patriot says that a gentleman reeently requested the editor to publish an announcement of bis marriage. It was found, however, that the man had forgotten his wife’s
name and no effort could recall it to his
recollection.

to resign hia eeat in the U, 8, Senate.
