lost the valuable services of several officers killed in battle during the campaign, viz: Capt. Peter Simonson, Fifth Indiana Battery; Capt. S. M. McDowell, Company B, Independent Pennsylvania Artillery; Capt. William Wheeler, Thirteenth New York Battery; First Lieut. O. H. P. Ayres, Sixth Ohio Battery; Second Lieut. F.

I would here take the opportunity to mention the effective service of the batteries serving with the cavalry command-Tenth Wisconsin Battery, Capt. Y. V. Beebe; Eighteenth Indiana Battery, First Lieut. W. B. Rippetoe, and the Chicago Board of Trade Battery, First Lieut. G. I. Robinson, commanding-during the entire campaign.

reason of any kind for his condemnation. I am to-day as ignorant of the causes for his action as I was then. That they were purely personal, and had not the remotest connection with my conduct as a soldier, I submit is proved by his own testimony, and it is upon this question alone that I care to defend myself. In The century magazine for September, 1886, Captain Joel B. Erhardt contributed the following extract from a letter that had never been made public: College Point, L. I., July 30th, 1864. Hon. S. Foot. dear Senator: I am extremely anxious that my friends in my native State [Vermont] should not think that the reason of General Grant relieving me from duty was brought about by any misconduct of mine, and therefore I write to put you in possession of such facts in the case as I am aware of, and think will throw light upon the subject. . . . On my return from a short leave of absence, on the 19th of July, General Grant sent for me to report to him, and then told me th

The colored troops at Petersburg. by Henry Goddard Thomas, Brevet Major-General, U. S. V. Guidon of Thomas's Brigade of the colored division--Shaded parts, Green; the field, White. East of Petersburg, on high ground, protruding like the ugly horn of a rhinoceros, stood the Confederate earthwork, fortified as a battery, which we undermined and exploded July 30th, 1864. It did a good deal of goring before we destroyed it. Its position enabled the garrison to throw a somewhat enfilading fire into our lines, under which many fell, a few at a time. For some time previous to the explosion of the mine it was determined by General Burnside that the colored division There was but one division of colored troops in the Army of the Potomac--the Fourth Division of the Ninth Corps, organized as follows: Brigadier-General Edward Ferrero, commanding division. First Brigade, Colonel Joshua K. Sigfried (of the 48th Penn.): 27th U. S. colored troops, Lieutenant-Colonel Charles J.

ad surrendered when we ceased firing and were in the act of shifting the battery; but the idle report that junior officers had taken upon themselves to continue the action after the order had been given to cease firing is not worthy of notice. I did not hear the firing of a gun, and the discipline of the Alabama would not have permitted it.-J. McI. K. In the letter from which Captain Kell quotes Captain Winslow does not speak of continuing his fire. But in his detailed report (dated July 30th, 1864) Captain Winslow says of the Alabama, after she had winded and set sail: Her port broadside was presented to us, with only two guns bearing, not having been able, as I learned afterward, to shift over but one. I saw now that she was at our mercy, and a few more guns well directed brought down her flag. I was unable to ascertain whether it had been hauled down or shot away; but a white flag having been displayed over the stern our fire was reserved. Two minutes had not more than elaps

This division was selected to lead the assault; but, at the last moment, the order was changed and it was sent in last. It was not ordered forward until the assault was a bloody failure, and although it did all that men could do, it was unnsibilty for that defeat. Still, they fought bravely, and held their ground under the most discouraging circumstances.

killed in the trenches, he is not interested; but actually he notices each tree that falls. Ah, he says, when I think what labor I have been at, on the little place I have at home, to plant, only for my grandchildren, such trees as you cut down without reason! As he has always lived in the South of France, where greenery is scarce, he is not offended by the bareness of the soil; but when riding through a dreary pine wood, will suddenly break out: Oh, que c'est beau, que c'est beau! July 30, 1864 My spirits to-night are not very high; our project of attack, which in the beginning promised well, has not been a success in the result. You must know that there has always been a point on Burnside's line that was quite near that of the enemy, say 250 feet. A mine was begun there over a month since, and has been quite finished for a week. It was at first rather an amateur affair, for the policy of the future operations had not then been fixed. However, it was steadily pushed, bein
