effort at Waterloo where he led charges, and did you ever hear of his conduct being impeached on the field of battle?

I remember no other charges led by Napoleon, and I think there are few military men hold enough to criticism the conduct of Napoleon as a commander.

Question. Do you remember whether General Scott, in throwing himself with 10,000 men in the heart of the enemy's country in the valley of Mexico, with an organized army in front of his of 30,000 men, a hostile country all around him, his line of communication gone entirely, ever headed a charge?

I do not remember any such instance and I think there was no such instance.

Question. Do you remember whether at the most desperate battle that General Zachary Taylor fought, at Buena Vista, where with 5,000 Union troops he successfully resisted after three days' fighting 25,000 Mexicans, in any of the assaults there he ever headed a charge?

I know that he never headed a charge at all at that battle.

Question. Did you ever know of General Grant heading a charge since he has been in the Army?

I never did, sir.

Question. Did you ever hear of General McClellan, when he was in command of an army of 120,000 men, heading a charge?

I never did, sir.

Question. Or did you ever heard that General Burnside at Fredericksburg headed the assault of his troops, or did he remain on his own side of the river?

The information I have had in reference to that is that he remained on his own side of the river.

Question. Did you ever heard of General Butler, in all his campaign in Louisiana, heading a charge?

I never did.

General DANA here offered the following resolution:

"Resolved, That in consideration of the unusual length at which the members of the Commission have examined the present witness an opportunity be now offered General Buell to question him again, making this case an exception to our ruleJanuary

Carried.

General SCHOEPF, in explanation of his vote in the negative, desired the following stand upon the record:

"The reason I vote no is because I think the resolution unnecessary, as whenever General Buell has desired to ask questions the members of the Commission have shown themselves willing to adopt themJanuary

The Commission adjourned to meet March 7, 1863, at 10 o'clock a. m.

CINCINNATI, Saturday, March 7, 1863.

The Commission met pursuant to adjournment. All the members resent; also the judge-advocate and General Buell.

Examination of General CRITTENDEN concluded.

By General BUELL:

Question. State, if you please, when the enemy commenced his formidable cavalry operations in Kentucky against the line of communication of the army in Kentucky and Tennessee.
