oned. The heroes who fought the battles and periled their lives to carry into effect the plans which the department devised have deservedly honorable remembrance-but the originators and movers are little known. I remember, my dear sir, your earnest efforts in the early days of the war and the comfort they gave me. Yours, Gideon Welles. Captain Ericsson's version of the visit to Washington, as given in Colonel William C. Church's paper on John Ericsson in The Century magazine for April, 1879, is as follows: With his previous experience of the waste of time and patience required to accomplish anything at Washington, Captain Ericsson, who is not, it must be said, like the man Moses, exceeding meek, would not himself go to the capital to secure attention to his ideas. There were associated with him three men of practical experience, great energy and wealth, who had become interested in the Monitor and were determined that it should have a trial. One of these was Mr. C. S.

now make reference to Colonel Brewster personally, and ask if Ruggles's answer is logical and sufficient. On the 15th of February, 1879, at Austin, Texas, I received a letter from General L. D. Sandige, now of New Orleans, La., my assistant inspector-general of division at, before and after the battle of Shiloh, bearing date February 10, 1879, in which he says: There was no controversy during the march from Corinth that ever I heard of, then or afterwards. At Austin, Texas, early in April, 1879, I met General William Preston, of Louisville, Kentucky, brother-in-law of General Albert Sidney Johnston, and a volunteer aid-de-camp during the march and at the battle of Shiloh. In reply to my inquiries General Preston stated that his relations with General Johnston were intimate and confidential, and that he had accompanied him on the march, and on the field, and that in compliance with his request he had noted the course of events, and that he is certain that my name, or that of m

A few years later, it was his privilege to cooperate 1877. personally with them in their own country, and to give them timely encouragement and aid. He also heartily seconded Dr. William G.

of interest in public affairs. He condemns Senator Blaine's support of the faithless bill to restrict Chinese immigration, and arouses public sympathy for the destitute colored refugees from Mississippi and Louisiana who flock to Kansas.

Several hundred dollars were acknowledged and transmitted by him to the efficient committee in St. Louis before Boston moved in the matter.

he pastor, Rev. W. S. Ralph, who, by the way, was something of a poet himself. Many will remember one of his poems, entitled Whistling in Heaven, which was widely copied throughout the country, and received with popular favor. His effort on this occasion was entitled The Bell, and minutely and beautifully described the casting, hanging, and ringing. The occasion overflowed with success. During the pastorate of Mr. Ralph, the parish could hardly be said to have grown numerically. In April, 1879, it is recorded that twenty-eight names were dropped from the membership upon a single occasion. In July, 1879, the Winter-Hill Society was organized. Only five or six belonging to this parish were instrumental in establishing this society, and the recognition of it by the convention in July was a surprise to the First Parish. Later quite a number of our people living within easy distance of the new society united with it; this at a time when we could ill afford any depletion of our

At all events, he did not take it; so our army stood idle throughout the following day, and in the night Lee withdrew across the Potomac. American Conflict, Vol. II. It may be permitted the writer to make, as his contribution to the fund of post proclium wisdom, a statement made to him by an ex-Confederate In April, 1879. connected with Lee's supply train, that the Rebel army was all but destitute of ammunition at Williamsport and had sent its train back to Staunton for a supply, which did not reach them on its return until after they had recrossed the Potomac. The same authority further stated that his army was utterly demoralized and without organization, and that the Rebels supposed our army refrained from attacking because in substantially the same condition. Our line of march takes us through a p

Testimony before the Committee on the Conduct of the War. Gen. Stuart hung closely about the skirts of our army, picking up stragglers, and it was while eagerly pressing on that he encountered the head of our corps at Auburn, with the result already given; but at the close of the engagement it seems that he made off to our right instead of our left, as we then supposed, towards Catlett's Station, where he found himself that night in a critical situation. When in Poolsville, Md., in April, 1879, the writer fell in with a member of Stuart's famous troopers who spoke of a fight that occurred in this campaign, not far from Auburn, that he and his associates always called The battle of the Bull Pen. His statement concerning it was in substance that Stuart unexpectedly found himself between two of our corps at dusk, and hastily concealed his men in a field hedged in by osage orange, and grown up to old field pines; that they muffled everything which could rattle, held their horses b
