.B 9 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORP. OREGON MONDAY. NOVEMBER 19, 1962 sflTVTT, WAP. " Wib T ttikd TltAiV Stage Set for Union Disaster Bv MERTON T. AKERS UPI Correspondent President Jefferson Davis of the CSA, as well as Presi dent Lincoln, was forced to reorganize his military setup in November 1862. Two weeks after Lincoln fired Maj. Gen. George B. Mc Clellan as commander of the Army of the Potomac, George W. Randolph, grandson of Thomas Jefferson, resigned as secretary of war in Davis' cab inet. He was tired of being a "clerk." Randolph was Davis' third secretary of war in the almost two - year - old Confederacy. The first, Leroy Pope Walker of Alabama, lasted eight months. His successor, Judah P. Benjamin, came under fire in six months and was named secretary of state. Randolph's term was about eight months. The outgoing war secretary had spent six years in the U S. Navy and was a briga dier general in the Confed erate Army when he become aoprRtarv of war. In military experience, he exceeded both his predecessors ana oucea sors. Yet during his time in of fice, he often learned first of important military decisions from the newspapers. For Da vis was being his own sec retary of war. In the fall of '62, sensing the peril of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, Miss., the only Confederate strongholds left on the Mississippi river, Ran dolph asserted his authority and ordered 10,000 troops across the river to reinforce the scattered Rebel armies defending the area. This he did without clearing it with Davis. Davis immediately rescind ed the order. Randolph re plied with his resignation. Da vis suggested an interview. Randolph declined. Davis named Maj. Gen. Gustavus Smith, a Kentuck ian and a former New York City street commissioner, to the post for three days. Then he reached into Sabot Hill, a plantation mansion on the James River, and took James A. Seddon from his books and made him secretary nf war nn Nov. 21, 1862. Seddon was a story-book Confederate plantation mas scholar, linguist nhi'losophcr, firm state's rights man and nullificationist. He had been a U.S. congressman but illness sent him back to his library at Sabot Hill well before the war started. .Tnhn R. Jones, diary-keep ing war department clerk, in his usual mordant words, de scribed Seddon as "gaunt and omnrtated. with long straj gling hair, mingled gray and hiarW He looks like a dead man galvanized into muscu lar animation. His eyes are shrunken and his features u tho tinp nf a man who has been in his grave a full Rprfiinn soon shut himself off from most visitors, requir ing those who did get to see him to write their names and hnsiness on a school slate This method nf doing business soon involved him in trouble in the Richmond bureaucra cy but he never crossed Da vis Hi lasted in office until the final days of the war handlina paper work but taking little part in military decisions. Davis never reim ic!iort the last word in mil itary affairs. The new commander of the Army of the Potomac, M3 r.rn. Ambrose E. Burnside 1,-nrw when he succeeded Mc- flollan that he was expect ed to move against Richmond and Gen. Robert t. Lee Armv of Northern Virginia anri tn move immediately. Rut first he reorganized the Army of the Potomac into ihrw Grand Divisions, a new new setun for the Union army F.ach Grand Division consist ed of two army corps with a senior major general in com mand.

N C, . 3-PERSONAL EXPECTED TO MOVE The new commander of the Army of the Potomac, Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside, shown in a copy of a picture from the Interior Department files, knew when he took over he was expected to move against Rich mond and the army of Gen. Robert E. Lee. First he organized the army into three Grand Divisions, then set out to strike Richmond by way of Fredericksburg, Va. By Nov. 20, 1862, Union troops were just across the river from Fredericksburg. There the delays set in and Lee had plenty of time to move his troops onto the heights above the town and the stage was set for the worst Union disaster of the war to date.

Lincoln approved the plan with reluctance, perhaps only because it promised action in stead of McClcllan s indecision. All told, Burnside had about 120,000 troops and 374 guns. When he took over the Army of the Potomac, it lay between the two halves oi General Lee's Confederate army, which also had been reorganized into the first corps under LL Gen. James Longstreet and the second Corps under Lt. Gen. 'lnomas (Stonewall) Jackson. 40 Miles Apart The two Confederate corps 80,000 men with 306 guns were about 40 airline miles apart with the Army of the Potomac sitting in the cen ter. Strategically Burnsides was in a good spot. He could move either way against the halves of the Confederate army but instead he set his army into motion toward Fredericks burg, away from the enemy. The first of his troops Sumner's Grand Division reached Falmouth, Va., oppo site Fredericksburg on Nov. 17, 1862. The Rappahannock river between Falmouth and Fredericksburg could have been forded at the time but Burnside forbade the cross ing for fear a rise in the riv er might split his army. Two days later Franklin's Grand Division arrived and the next day Hooker's. The Army of the Potomac was in a position to strike except for one big reason its pon toon bridges had not arrived from Harper's Ferry where they had been used earlier by McClellan. The weather, which had been uncommonly good, turn ed bad. Temperatures fell and with the cold came first rain, then snow. On Nov. 25 the bridging ar rived al Aquia Creek on the Potomac. Then began the task of moving the heavy pon toons over 15 miles of muddy roads to the Rappahannock. The delay gave Lee plenty of time to move his army to the heights above Fredericks burg and to establish it in po sitions from which the Fed eral army could be raked by cannon fire if it crossed the river. Gradually in the mud and snow of the Virginia winter the stage was set for the worst Union disaster of the war to date.
