House, nearly a mile from Fredericksburg, on April , the owner, was a major in the Confederate army. Hisdwelling was a very commodious one, built of brick and surroundedby magnificent grounds. The beautiful front lawn contained fineshade trees. Here the guns were unlimbered and put into positionto open on the town or command the hills beyond. It was re-ported in camp that two Confederate gunboats came up the riverto the city early in the morning, but had shortly after steamed awayagain.

On the 22nd, General McDowell passed through campwith a squad of cavalry and a limber from one of the guns, andwent below in search of a fording place, a foolish ])roceeding inthe estimation of the men, as the river was running full from bankto bank. The camp fires of the enemy were distinctly seen across.
