Civil War
Seventh Regiment Infantry
The congregated generals were transfixed. Mingled satisfaction and awe was upon every face. But what was tantalizing was, that though a great deal could be heard, nothing could be seen, the city being still enveloped in fog and mist. Only a denser pil-jar of smoke defining itself on the background of the fog, indicated where the town had been fired by our shells. Another and another column showed itself, and we presently saw that at least a dozen houses must be on fire.
Towards noon the curtain rolled up and we saw that it was indeed so. Fredericksburg was in connagration.
