' N Question—Wouldlthavo been better, in
.■ poor Judgment, to bare croteed the river and
engaged the enemy earlier than yon did, ant
if so, why was it not done? -I ■ r '~:
lAnswet—When Gen. Bnmaldawuordered
totake command of this army be,told nia
whet he propoeed to do, that is,- to march on,
Aedstiohehnrg instead of 'onOalpeppsr. il
thongbt. that waa the wisest plan; Ur then
reasons': If we had merehed on Cntpoppor,
according to the former plan, oven If we bad
bead saeoseslbl, we wonld have had to fall
beek Tor supplies; whereas, by coming on
this line; on teaching Fredericksburg ! confi
dently expected to tsiketke heights .in ithe
rear oilsbefdre the army of theenomy woaid
- eome from Calpepper, and I thought tho
ohanoaof making Richmond was much baits r
than by going the other way, beoanie if the
pontoons had been here on thy arrival, and in
time for me to have crossed and oecnpled the
heights In the tsar of Fredericksburg btfore
the enemy eonld mask lham.va shonld here
kept panning the enemy ofi from this line of
nllrosd, keeping It id oar own possession;
and if woeould hot have precoded them In
- Btchmond,we oooldhara kept no elded to
them that they would have had no time to
balld fartilsattoas. Those 1 woro the reasons
why I thought it was a very, judldonsmods
: are on tha part of General Burnside to change
the hasoofoperatlons Instead of advancing on
Calpepper, which I believe General UeClaUan
intended to have dona. , i '
II Oa th* night .of tho 17th of Novomhbr I
sent a note to Gen. Burnside, who was'some
eight or tsn miloe distant, | asklng hlm U I
: Shonld take Fredericksburg; in, the morning
shonld I be able to- find a practicable ford,

Ihe first proposition to cross the river was
to cross ot Sk&ker’s ntok.lt seemed to ma
that yon oould ecaretly cross a river In feoo of
an enemy of equal or eaporlcr fores oxoopt by
emprise. Therefore, altar Ithe preparations
ware made to cross at Bunker's, neck,'after a
: . Urge nambtr of wagons had: bean sent by tha
general down than, Ut ordar to deceive tho

march/ under a guard, from' Alexandria to

and transport them to Falmouth by the o6m
monread. By this moans I supposed the
wagons would go tight, and would go through
more rapidly, and with lesr wear ahd tearto
the horses; I rtturned>to Washington on the
lStb, with Qeniral-HaUeek> and I do not
think I bad any discussion with him os that
subject. After Irsturnedl do nob, think 1
saw Central Halleok again or spoke with him
about the transfer of the train. I
did see General Woodbary. He aalledatmy
ofßoe, and wohad soma conversation. • He did
not, as I remember, ask me to fire any or
ders or do anything,-and I presumed ovary
thing was going on satisfactorily.
Oen; Meigs now wanders off - into what he
heard of .matters hot bearing direotiy on the
question In hand, and finally brings up with;
When Gen. Burnside showed me his plan
of campaign I found, as I iqtaember now,that
there was provision that thVpontoons them
selves should march by land to meet him, ex*
aotly at what:time I am-unable tossy; but
any expectation that n pontoon train should
he at Falmouth when the army arrived there,
would nooesisrily. be. disappointed, in my
opinion. No pontoon train could go to Pal*
mouth without asoEedant guard to drive out
the enemy's pickets, and if it got there before
the army the enemy would have oaptured lu
What all the army itself did not do, it was
not to ; be expected that the guard of the pon
toon train should do; ' Hearing, when Genera}
Burnside wasUstio - this city, there wereooa*
plaints, on this subject, (ana here allow me to
•ay that the “ Quartermaster’s Department,
which* does a great deal for the Array leapt
to be held responsible for everything that It
hot dons),hearing that I wei blamed for the
failure to get the pontoons to Falmouth by
the time the'army reached that ptaee, I re
pUed' to m)r informant, who was connected
With the Press/thattb* Quartermaster's De
partment was no mote responsible for the
march of the pontoon train than for the march
of abattsry of artillery orm regimeatof In
fantry—4hat its business was to provide ma
terial for: the transportation of the army, and
It .had done so—had filled every requisition,
and bad heard no complaint on that point.
General Burnside came to tee me a few min
utes after this gentleman of the press had left
