"Have you seen General Hill in the last few days?"
"Yes, sir--many times."
"Have you seen General Ewell?"
"I would not know General Ewell, sir."
"How, then, do you know that his corps is up the river?"
"His entire corps passed ours, sir, marching to our right."
"When?"
"Yesterday, General."
"You are sure it was Ewell's whole corps?"
"It was a great column of infantry and nineteen batteries; it took many hours to march by us. Many of the men in the different brigades told us they were of Ewell's corps. None of us doubted it, General."
