Then she was transferred to the hospitals at Chancellorsville, and while at her work received the sad news that her brother had fallen in battle under General Hooker. Although not far from him, the exigencies of hospital service were such that she could not even institute a search for his dead body or look the last time on his cold face.

She remained in the service until March, 1865, when she went to Virginia to take charge of the schools for the freedmen, remaining there a year. Among other Massachusetts

C. Ord to the command of Smith's corps, and Major-General D. B. Birney to the command of the Tenth corps. According to reports of deserters, Smith had indulged in a free criticism of Grant's campaign, saying, among other disparaging remarks, that it was a lamentable failure. This got to Grant's ears, and the consequence was that Smith was relieved. The Northern Border. We have no later news from General Early's command than that furnished by Northern papers.
