t me to hospital on Major Proskauer's horse. Our gallant Jew Major smoked his cigars calmly and coolly in the thickest of the fight. At the field hospital, an old barn, I was put in a tent with Captains Ross and Hewlett, Lieutenants Wright and Fletcher, Corporal Eason and Henry Lamar. Poor John Preskitt was mortally wounded and died. He died saying: All is right. My company had all three of its officers wounded, and about half its men. Every officer, except Captain Thomas, on right wing of many prisoners, including nearly all of their wounded. Surgeon Geo. Whitfield was very busy and kind. July 2. Limped inside barn and saw Preskitt's body, and urged a decent burial of ambulance corps. He leaves a very helpless family. Lieut. Fletcher died by my side. He was of Co. G, a modest, brave young fellow. Nine in my company were wounded yesterday. Pierce Ware returned to company in time for the fight. Our forces fought Meade's command all day, and the cannonading was wonderfu

oticed only as local politicians, and of the more imposing histories of the United States which have obtained general currency, we do not complain, or do no more than point out follies in a passing review. But, of one class of such literature we have complained, and have done more than complain, we have rooted it out from our public schools because of its tendency to inculcate falsehoods which were vicious in their intent and pernicious in their consequences. The aphorism is attributed to Fletcher of Saltoun: Let me write the songs of a people, and I care not who makes their Laws. The writers of these meretricious books, with hope of more far-reaching results, might, with more of practical wisdom, say: Let me write the school books of a people, and I care not who writes their songs or their Laws. To no man in the land is the credit for this work of wholesome expurgation in the South more due than to Hunter McGuire. The engrossing demands of his professional life, on its many s

Court for six terms, between the years 1809 and 1819. His numerous descendants are scattered far and wide through many states, but have been but little identified with Somerville. John Tufts, the second son of Peter of Winter Hill, was a scientific farmer and gardener. During the Revolution, his father established him on the farm the house of which is now rented by the Somerville Historical society. This house has been in possession of the family ever since, being now owned by Mrs. Dr. Fletcher, the only child of the late Oliver Tufts. So much has been written of this—the headquarters of General Lee,—that it is unnecessary to repeat what is well-known to the members of the society. John Tufts was born in 1755. He married Elizabeth Perry, who was a granddaughter of James Tufts of Medford, a descendant of the first Peter's second son James. It may be observed in passing that this branch of the Tufts family, though not connected with Somerville, from early times owned a large t

nerals, anonymous, one volume. The number of works published by Europeans possessing real interest is very limited; it will be enough to mention the remarkable work of M. Vigo Roussillion on The Military Power of the United States, and the writings of three officers with whom the author had the good fortune to serve in the campaign against Richmond in 1862: History of the War of Secession, by the Swiss Federal colonel F. Lecomte, two volumes; History of the War of Secession, by Lieutenant-colonel Fletcher of the British Guards, three volumes; and Four Years in the Army of the Potomac, by General Regis de Trobriand, two volumes, Paris, 1867. This last work, French in language, in spirit, and in the place of its publication, possesses at the same time, in an historical point of view, all the value of a narrative written by one of the eye-witnesses and actors in the great American drama. We shall conclude this note with a final reference, which will convey to the reader an idea o
