It occupied the front of the line of battle," on' tha rtghx of tfie pladk road, look ing towards Frcencksburg. and immedi ately opposed to that portion of the Fed eral liue most stroiigly forti6ed. There was an error iu the communication, no doubt unintentionally made,,. which, for the honor of-a-great-State-,-- that - has most nobly borne her part in this great smug gle for our independence, and has expend ed most lavishly her treasures and the blood of her noblest sons, I will endavor to correct, confident that you will take pleasure in aiding me to perform this net of simple justice. Your etrresiKndent, after awarding just praise to this, army, and particularly to ifiis division, mentions that the latter is composed olGeorgwus, Alabamians Mary landers and Virginians. It is in this state ment that the errbr spoken of exists. Fiye brigades compose this division, command- pecUvely- by Generalc Doles. Cob-j quitt. Iverson, Kimseiir and Col.
