. I go in twice a week for that purpose. A dispatch just received from General Bragg, claiming a signal victory at Perryville; but in consequence of the arrival of large reinforcements to the enemy, he had fallen back to Cumberland Gap. These victories without permanent results do us no good, and so much blood is spilled. There seems to be a revolution going on at the North. Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania have given the Democrats a large majority for Congress! So may it be! November 4, 1862. A letter from my dear S. at Winchester. She says she is wearing herself down in the Confederate service; but there are so many soldiers in the hospitals that she is too much interested to give up nursing them even for a day. Our army still at Bunker's Hill. We are expecting daily to hear that it is falling back. When they leave the Valley all the sick that can be moved will be brought down to the Richmond hospitals, which are now comparatively empty. November 7, 1862. The s

ival at Louisville, at the end of September.--editors. General Buell presented a paper to the Commission which does not question any of these statements regarding strength, but states that he could not have concentrated more than 31,000 men at McMinnville to strike the Confederate forces as they debouched from the mountains; and the same paper estimated Bragg's army at 60,000, while his returns on August 27th showed but 27,816 officers and men for duty. In his official report, dated November 4th, 1862, General Buell estimated his whole effective force on the 7th and 8th of October, at 58,000, including 22,500 raw troops, with little or no instruction. He also estimated the total Confederate force engaged in the invasion at from 55,000 to 65,000. In The army under Buell (N. Y.: D. Van Nostrand), General James B. Fry, Assistant Adjutant-General, Chief of Staff of the Army of the Ohio, after a careful study of all the data, estimates the force with which Buell moved against Bardstown
Doc. 27.-battle near Brashear City, La. New-Orleans Delta narrative. off Brashear City, November 4, 1862. dear Delta: We arrived off here on the night of the first, but unfortunately too late to stop the rebels from crossing. There was a great deal of difficulty in getting over the bay, and we felt the want of light-draught vessels very much. The day the Kinsman arrived, Lieut. Buchanan crossed in her, and tried to get the Estrella over, but she grounded. He came up to the mouth of the river, but saw nothing but the Hart, which he chased but could not catch. They got the Estrella and the St. Mary's over the next day, and the following day the Calhoun came up with the Diana. The night of our arrival here, we chased the rebel gunboat Cotten, but she got away from us by her superior speed. The same night was captured the rebel steamer A. B. Sigur. She is a small boat, about the size of the Fancy Natchez, and is very useful. Yesterday all the gunboats went up Bayo

Van Duzer under close confinement in the guardhouse, and later sent him out of the department, under guard. As an outcome, the operators planned a strike, which Grant quelled by telegraphic orders to confine closely every man resigning or guilty of contumacious conduct. Stager's efforts to dominate Grant failed through Stanton's fear that pressure would cause Grant to ask for relief from his command. Stager's administration culminated in an order by his assistant, dated Cleveland, November 4, 1862; strictly requiring the operators to retain the original copy of every telegram sent by any military or other Government officer . . . and mailed to the War Department. Grant answered, Colonel Stager has no authority to demand the original of military despatches, and cannot have them. The order was never enforced, at least with Grant. If similar experiences did not change the policy in Washington, it produced better conditions in the field and ensured harmonious cooperation. Of V

er, that if such prisoners wish to make any communication to the Government, they are at liberty to make it directly to the State Department. Seth C. Hawley. Space will not permit me further to notice the instances of this immense class of cases. In almost every Northern state the victims of this violence were to be found. That there was no just cause for these invasions of the rights of the states, and of the citizens, was demonstrated in the most decisive manner. At this time (November 4, 1862) the friends of the administration of the United States government were decisively defeated at the elections. On November 22d ensuing, the War Department issued an order releasing all except prisoners of war. The order was muffled up in a phraseology suited to hide from the observation of the people that the result of the elections had stricken home to the sensibilities of the usurpers. It said: Ordered—1. That all persons now in military custody, who have been arrested for disco
