crossing; he secured a place, a mere hamlet, called Dtncanville. He dislodged his foes in quick time and made another rough bridge a hundred feet long and crossed over. Blair, with the Seventeenth Corps, had a like trial at Cowpen Ford, the famous Revolutionary historical point, and with 260 feet of bridging came up abreast. The two corps struggled on, bothered more by the swamps than by the brave detachments of clustering Confederates that were always in their advancing way. On February 7th we were out of the woods on the Augusta & Charleston Railroad, near the village of Midway, and destroying the road four miles up and down. The double — forked Edisto River was still ahead. We searched out the crossing as soon as we could drive the Confederates back enough to do so. Holman's, Cannon's, Binnaker's, Walker's, Skillings's, and the railway bridges were examined. Sherman, then with Logan at Lowry's Station (Atlanta & Charleston Railroad), gave us a special field order, direc

fact that editorial prophecy is infallible neither in the world of mechanics nor in that of politics. The Tribune returned with increased fervor this year to the advocacy of a railroad, and also of an independent telegraph line to the Pacific, as the most effective means of binding California and Oregon to the Union. And it never ceased to advocate these measures, no matter under what form they were proposed, till they had become accomplished facts. Always in favor of sound money, on February 7th it came out with this interesting suggestion: Let it now be solemnly enacted that gold is the national standard of value, and that our present gold coin shall nevermore be debased nor interfered with. Then, with prophetic wisdom, it added: If silver becomes more or less plentiful, let the silver coinage be altered to conform to the fact. We are accustomed to regard the utterances of our daily newspapers with indifference, or as unworthy of serious consideration, but surel

hip on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. From the first Dana favored manhood suffrage and the complete enfranchisement of the freedmen, and ridiculed the idea that eight hundred thousand black votes could dominate or control five million white ones. He sneered at the cry of negro supremacy, as raised by the Southerners, and declared that the horrid spectre they had conjured, when dragged into the light, would turn out to be the veriest phantom. As early as February 7th he took ground against the impeachment of Andrew Johnson as far too serious an undertaking for the facts and evidence in the case. On the other hand, he severely condemned Johnson's arbitrary methods as sure to lead to trouble of the gravest character. He declared, with emphasis which could not be misunderstood, that Law is law, and must be obeyed, and this necessarily included the act of Congress for the protection of Federal office-holders from unjust and partisan removal, as well as

remptory military order, dated the 22d of January, requiring him to proceed immediately to Roanoke Island. The defences of the island consisted of seven small gunboats and six land batteries, not casemated, and wholly inefficient. After manning the forts, there were scarcely more than eight hundred effective men. In the sickness of Gen. Wise, who was confined to his bed at Nag's Head, the immediate command devolved upon Col. Shaw, the senior officer present. In the morning of the 7th of February the enemy made an attack, with twenty-two heavy steamers, upon the little Confederate squadron under the command of Commodore Lynch, and upon Fort Bartow, the most southern of the defences on the west side of the island. The action commenced at two miles distance, the Confederate gunboats retiring slowly with the intention of drawing the enemy under the guns of the batteries. Soon the air was filled with heavy reports, and the sea was disturbed in every direction by fragments of shell

Fortunately for the Confederacy the military genius of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston had been called again, although unwillingly, into service by President Davis, who had displaced Bragg from the Army of Tennessee only after he had accomplished a complete sum of disaster, and capped his career of misfortune on Missionary Ridge. On the 27th December, 1863, Gen. Johnston had assumed command of the army at Dalton, Georgia. In January he had fallen back from Dalton, and his advanced posts; on the 7th February he was encamped at Rome, Georgia; but he again advanced to Dalton shortly afterwards, and proposed then an offensive movement against the enemy,whose strength he knew would be greatly increased in the spring, and who, therefore, could be attacked with better advantage before such increase of the disproportion of numbers. Gen. Johnston knew very well that he could not expect reinforcements at pace with the enemy, and was, therefore, wisely determined to make at once a forward movement and

On February 7 Lieutenant Russell received appointment as first lieutenant in the 6th Massachusetts Battery where he later received promotion to the rank of captain. During the same month about seventy recruits arrived from Massachusetts, so that drilling appears again as the order of the day. Nor was this time wasted, for it was evident that an army movement was soon to take place. Early in March preparations were made for the Red River campaign, the object of which was the capture of Shreveport on

iends, and how much he craved tidings from them. He wrote to Hillard, Jan. 6: I do not forget you and our Five of clubs on this my birthday. I wish that we could all meet this evening and renew old scenes and recollections. And to Judge Story, Feb. 7: It is now two months since I left the United States, and when I consider what I have seen, and the new impressions I have received, it seems like two years. The time is lengthened by another consideration,—the sense of my solitude, and the cessasuing the subject which he treated when I last heard him,—the harmony between the different parts of animals. He seems to be very popular; the close of his lecture is invariably attended by applause, and sometimes there is a straggling bravo. Feb. 7.

ir allies, kept his supporters firm, and they resolved to stand by him. February 17 Their stubbornness was not merely from policy; for they believed that whatever might be the merits of other eminent Free Soilers, Sumner alone could by his power of speech and is daring fill the place of the antislavery protagonist in the Senate. The election of any other would in their view be half a defeat. The feeling of the Free Soilers outside of the Legislature was the same. Charles Allen wrote, February 7, You must be the hero of this war to the end,—the conquering hero, I trust. S. C. Phillips forbade the use of his own name as an alternative, and counselled adherence to Sumner to the end. The contest dragged wearily on, and the prospect of success grew fainter. There was a meeting in Sumner's office, attended by some members of the Legislature and other leaders, where Sumner again volunteered to withdraw; but the general conviction was that a change of candidates would distract the u

sas and Nebraska, and declared the prohibition inoperative, for the reason that it had been superseded by the principles of the legislation of 1850. Douglas, February 7, added the term void to inoperative, changed the phrase superseded by to inconsistent with, and further amplified the clause. Benton, in the House, called the paragraph, but its first full article on the subject did not appear till February 8. The National Intelligencer's first article against the bill was published February 7, and others followed February 21 and 28, —the three articles filling many columns. The National Era, October 19 of the same year, noted, in a review of the eartee, and says he objected. I would not have been allowed to be there. （Seward's Life, vol. II. p. 216.)

He maintained cordial relations with its author during the whole controversy. Three days after t
