which, in the judgment of this court, was deliberately and wisely done; wherefore, the court do award to the said Captain Josiah Tatnall an honorable acquittal. The Merrimac and the Monitor came upon the stage of action at the same time, and the close of their career was not far apart. They suggest the parallel made between the lives of two ancient warriors. It cannot be said, They were lovely and pleasant in their lives, but in their death they were not divided. At daybreak of December 29, 1862, the Monitor, under convoy of the United States steamer Rhode Island, left Fort Monroe bound for Charleston, South Carolina. At noon December 30th, when at sea, about seventy miles off Cape Hatteras, they got into a heavy gale. At 10 P. M., matters having become critical and it being impossible to keep the Monitor free of the water that came aboard with every sea, signals of distress were burned. Gallant and untiring efforts of rescue were made by the Rhode Island, and one of her b

New York, Dec. 20, 1860. [Private] My Dear Sir: --There would be no difficulty about the man if the arrangement could be made under the sanction of Gen Scott. A confidential person could be sent on to see him, and with his approve the scheme would be perfectly legal, and acceptable no doubt to the officer in command. I am very respectfully your obit ser't, Chas. W. Sanford, Jones A. Hamilton, Esq. J. A. Hamilton to Lieut. Gen. Scott. Nevis, Dobbs's Ferry Post Office, December 29, 1862. [Private] Dear General --It is proposed to reinforce Major Anderson by volunteers to be sent from the city of New York, by a steamer to be chartered for that purpose, the funds to be raised by private subscription. General Sanford promises to provide as many good men and true as may be required say, from one to four hundred. He, however suggests that this enterprise should resolve your sanction, so far, at least, as by your giving me a letter of introduction to Major Anderson,

Minstrelsy in Camp--"Hood's Minstrels."--Contributions for Fredericksburg. &c. [correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Camp of Texas Brigade, Near Fredericksburg, Va., Dec. 29, 1862. As others have given you a full history of the splendid achievement of our arms in the late contest in and around Fredericksburg, I shall turn aside from the bloody path that leads through gory fields and scenes of carnage, and give you an account of a few minor particulars not heretofore mentioned. Though they do not appertain particularly to the tented field, yet they serve to dispel the shadows that, like evil spirits, creep around the camp fires, and do honor to the soldiers of our noble army, and which, together with kindred acts, show the tender sympathy existing between the army and the people. While Burnside lay upon the Stafford heights, revolving and maturing his plans for crossing the river, the musicals of our brigade, to break the tedium and monotony of camp life, improvise

Carolina, while taking a ride outside of our was fired upon by parties in ambush and killed.--Immediately his person was rifled, and among other things a watch was taken from him, which his relatives are very anxious to obtain possession of. If it is within your power will you please have this watch returned. I remain, General, very respectfully your obedient servant, J. G. Foster, Major General Commanding. From Edward Stanley.[Copy.] Department of North Carolina, Newbern, Dec. 29th, 1862. To Major-General Foster, Commanding, &c: General — I have been informed that a portion of the forces of the enemies of the United States recently invaded the county of Washington, and among other depredations committed upon innocent citizens, they seized and carried away, against their consent, and against the consent of their owner, a large number of slaves. From the home of Mr. M. Bowen they took away several of his negroes, who had been faithful to him, and whom he protected

n providing the means which the occasion calls for. It is the emergency that gives the right, and the emergency must be shown to exist before the taking can be justified" [13 Howard, P. 134. Paley, ch. XL, p. 83.] The evidence in this care does not show the existence of any such "emergency," but on the contrary, in my opinion, it proves that it did not exist. The order of the Secretary of War to the Commissary General, authorizing him to impress subsistence, & c, was written on the 29th of December, 1862, and does not appear to have been caused by a want of food for the army, or an inability to purchase it at the market price, but because the Government could not buy at prices which the officers considered "reasonable."--A maximum price was fixed for all articles, and the Commissary General authorized to impress the property, at an arbitrary valuation, whenever he should think it necessary for the public service. It is not asserted in the answer of Claiborne, nor was it pretended in
