th, recrossed and engaged the enemy at Laurel Hill. We found them strongly intrenched and a charge was ordered. The opinion of every officer and man was that we could not dislodge them, as we must charge a long distance over an open field. General Barlow was to lead and the 19th was to be the directing battalion. The order to our division was, Follow the colors of the 19th. With cheers for General Barlow we advanced over the crest of the hill, the rebels opening on us with a terrible fire. General Barlow we advanced over the crest of the hill, the rebels opening on us with a terrible fire. Grape and cannister ploughed through our ranks. Both color-bearers were shot down, and for a moment our line melted away; but other hands grasped the colors, and we renewed the charge, only to be again repulsed. No army on earth could capture the works with such odds against it, but we charged once more, then gave it up. Among the first to go down was Color-Sergeant Ben Falls. He was in advance of me, and as he fell he said, John, your old uncle has got his quietus this time. I could not

his dream, saying they guessed they would not go to Richmond that way and returned to the line. The firing in front increased, with the batteries doing good work, for the rebels. At 3 P. M. the Second and Fifth Corps were ordered to advance. Barlow's and Gibbon's divisions being formed in line of battle, it is claimed that Barlow's men fell back on receiving the attack of the enemy.

The nature of the ground was such that this movement was not perceived by Gibbon, it being uneven and covered with thick underbrush. Gibbon's men stood their ground and before they were aware of the fact, the bayonets of the enemy were at their back. In a moment the rebels had captured the majority of the Nineteenth Massachusetts, together with the Fifteenth Massachusetts, the Forty-Second and Fifty-Ninth New York, part of the Eighty-Second New York and a few men from the Twentieth Massachusetts, from the same brigade. Colonel Ansel D. Wass had been ill for some time, but rode up in an ambulanc

s the Spanish government, and should retrace its steps. It had severely commented upon Grant's acceptance of a gift of land in New Jersey, and in August it criticised him for the corrupting and demoralizing practice of giving office in return for presents, his fatal disregard of law, his petty foreign policy, and his deplorable failure to represent the sentiment and to promote the manifest destiny of the country. This was preceded by a severe condemnation of United States Marshal Barlow for resisting his own arrest, under the advice of the President, who had written him a personal letter authorizing and requesting him to defy the processes and officers of the State courts, no matter under what pretext they might assume to act. In September of that year a conspiracy was formed by men both inside and outside of Wall Street to raise the price of gold, whereupon the Sun called upon the Treasury Department to block the game of this unscrupulous ring, and this was done, mainly

X. The literature of the land, such as then existed, agreed with the Nation, the Church, and the College. Franklin, in the last literary labor of his life; Jefferson, in his Notes on Virginia; Barlow, in his measured verse; Rush, in a work which inspired the praise of Clarkson; the ingenious author of the Algerine Captive—the earliest American novel, and though now but little known, one of the earliest American books republished in London—were all moved by the contemplation of Slavery. If our fellow-citizens of the Southern States are deaf to the pleadings of nature, the latter exclaims in his work, I will conjure them, for the sake of consistency, to cease to deprive their fellow-creatures of freedom, which their writers, their orators, representatives and senators, and even their Constitution of Government, have declared to be the inalienable birthright of man.

reforming and redisposing the Federal army. Meanwhile the air had collected much moisture, and there was a storm a few hours distant; in fact, a smart summer rain preceded the four o'clock in the morning assault, which the Second, Sixth, and Eighteenth Corps, in pursuance of Grant's plan to keep constantly hammering Lee's army, made upon the Confederate intrenchments. This lasted but a half-hour, but the sanguinary character of the contest was probably never surpassed during the campaign. Barlow's and Gibbons's divisions of the Second carried a part of the enemy's line. This success was not, however, permanent, nor was any decided advantage gained by the gallant action of the Eighteenth and Sixth. The Sixth and its companion corps intrenched themselves close to the enemy's main line of works. This, with the exception of an attack upon Gibbons's division of the Second Corps, at nine o'clock at night, which was repulsed, was the last important engagement in this campaign north of t

gaged on the afternoon of September 17 at Antietam. In November the regiment became part of Meagher's Irish Brigade, 1st Division, 2d Army Corps, and met heavy loss at Fredericksburg in the assault on the heights December 13. It was engaged at Chancellorsville on the morning of May 3 and lost heavily at Gettysburg. It took part in the movements about the Rappahannock and joined in the Mine Run campaign, making its winter quarters at Stevensburg, Va. As part of Colonel Smyth's Brigade, General Barlow's Division, the regiment shared in the engagement at the Wilderness and in the movement to Spotsylvania, taking part in the charge and capture of the salient early in the morning of May 12 at Spotsylvania Court House, and engaging again in the assault on May 18. It took active part at Cold Harbor June 3, when Colonel Byrnes was mortally wounded. Sharing in the assault of Petersburg June 16, it took most active part afterward in the siege, engaging at Weldon Railroad in July and at Deep

Infantry. It left the State for Washington August 14, and was located for a time at Alexandria. It moved October 10 to Fairfax Station, becoming part of the 2d Brigade, 2d Division, 11th Corps, advanced to Thoroughfare Gap in November, and took part in a reconnoissance to White Plains. Its two extra companies were transferred to the 41st Mass. Infantry in this month. It moved in December to Falmouth, and took up winter quarters, engaging in the mud march of January, 1863. As part of General Barlow's Brigade at Chancellorsville, the regiment, with the exception of two companies left on picket with the 11th Corps, was sent in support of General Sickles in his movement on the afternoon of May 2. It acted in support of General Pleasanton in the battle of Beverly Ford June 9. At Gettysburg, as part of Steinwehr's Division, it held Cemetery Ridge during the three days of the battle.

not forward and striking; and I found his manners affable and gentle, the tones of his voice low and conciliating, his conversation gay, pleasant, and interesting in an uncommon degree. I stayed with him about an hour and a half, during which the conversation wandered over many subjects. He talked, of course, a great deal about America; wanted to know what was the state of our literature, how many universities we had, whether we had any poets whom we much valued, and whether we looked upon Barlow as our Homer. He certainly feels a considerable interest in America, and says he intends to visit the United States; but I doubt whether it will not be indefinitely postponed, like his proposed visit to Persia. I answered to all this as if I had spoken to a countryman, and then turned the conversation to his own poems, and particularly to his English Bards, which he has so effectually suppressed that a copy is not easily to be found. He said he wrote it when he was very young and very ang
