Certain transfers of property were to be made, extra rations drawn, the sick hunted up and sent back, surplus effects packed and sent to storage, tents taken down, and wagons loaded, but when midnight came Warren's Fifth Corps was ready to move. The writer was serving upon the staff of General I. C. Rice, Second Brigade, Wads worth's Division, Fifth Corps. Lee's army at the time lay in winter quar ters, its left (longstreet) at Gordonsville, its centre (a. P. Hill) at Orange Court-house, and its right (ewell) on the south bank of the Rapidan, immediately west of the Wil derness.
