y made on our front, Gen. Clarke made a resolute effort to flank our left and establish himself in its rear. Gen. Williams, anticipating tills movement, had placed a battery, supported by two regiments, to resist it; and the Rebels were repulsed with considerable loss. Meanwhile, the 21st Indiana, posted at the crossing of the roads — whose Colonel, suffering from wounds previously received, had twice essayed to join it, and each time fallen from his horse — had lost its Lt.-Col., Keith, Maj. Hayes, and Adj. Latham--the two former severely wounded, the latter killed — when Gen. Williams, seeing Latham fall, exclaimed, Indianians! your field-officers are all killed: I will lead you! and was that moment shot through the breast and fell dead; the command devolving on Col. T. W. Cahill, 9th Connecticut. But the battle was already won. The Rebel attack had exhausted its vitality without achieving any decided success; while the Arkansas,from which so much had been expected, had failed<

wick, with the 6th and 5th corps, was sent forward at daybreak Nov. 7. from Warrenton to Rappahannock Station, where the Rebels had strongly fortified the north bank of the river, covering a pontoon bridge. The works on this side were held by Hayes's Louisiana brigade; while Hoke's brigade, composed of the 6th, 54th, and 57th N. C., was sent over to support it by Lee, who, with Early's division, was just across the river. Our approach was of course well known, and Hoke pushed over on purpos on Russell's right, and down to the pontoons in the Rebel rear, cutting off the retreat of the routed garrison, and compelling 1,600 of them to surrender. Four guns, 7 flags, 2,000 small arms, and the pontoon bridge, were among the captures; Gen. Hayes surrendered, but afterward escaped. Two of his Colonels swam the river. Several who attempted to do so were drowned. The whole was the work of two brigades, numbering less than 3,000 men; and most of it of Russell's, barely 1,549 strong. An

own name and that had better not be connected with mine so as to draw observation. Very well, he said, her place will be a nine hundred dollar position. Send her with your card and she shall have it, and if she deserves it she shall hold it. She rented her house in Wytheville and took a small house in Washington. I saw her once in about six months or a year after that. She turned out to be a very good clerk, and was not disturbed until the coming in of the reform administration of Mr. Hayes. Then there was a search made for places to put in the reformer's nieces, and the records were examined to see who were behind clerks as to influence. The list showed nobody behind Mrs. Mumford, and, the commissioner having been changed, of course she was reformed out. She informed me. I visited the Treasury Department, the Department of the Interior, and the Agricultural Department to see if she could not be restored to a place. I found it utterly impossible until I visited a rebel

g as aid of Brigadier-General Sherman [not William T.]. He seems to have attached himself to Grant as a sort of military secretary. His name does not appear, even mentioned in the War Records of the campaign around Richmond. He availed himself of his intimacy to publish a history of Grant to his own great profit. Grant appointed him Secretary of Legation and afterwards Consul-General at London, one of the most profitable offices in the gift of the President. He remained there nine years. Hayes removed him and appointed him Consul-General at Havana, another very lucrative office, where he remained until his conduct was such as to require his resignation. In the meantime for his great services to the Union in suppressing the Rebellion he was retired as an officer of the army of rank with large pay and emolument. He then claimed that he was employed by Grant to assist him in revising the composition of his Memoirs, which Grant, having become entirely wrecked in fortune by the fai

influence and control the elective franchise. I had substantially none of the Republican orators of the day with me because they were all busy trying to elect Mr. Hayes as President. The result followed that while Mr. Hayes got a very large vote, Mr. Tarbox as my congressional Democratic opponent got also a very large vote. BuMr. Hayes got a very large vote, Mr. Tarbox as my congressional Democratic opponent got also a very large vote. But my self-constituted opponent, Mr. Hoar, got hardly enough votes in the district where he lived to count for mile-stones. With that term ended my congressional career, and I thought, as I had given ten years to the country in Congress, I had done all that should be required of me. But to return to my position in Congress. IAll that we did get has been paid out to private claimants, so as a nation we took nothing. I took no part in the proceedings of the Republican party in seating Hayes, and had nothing to do with what I believed then and still believe was a wrong to the country in debasing the elective franchise. With the exception of my servi

It may be interesting to know the state of General Hayes's thoughts and feelings just before entering upon that desperate conflict in the Wilderness, where he lost his life. In a letter written upon the morning on which the march commenced, he says: This morning was beautiful, for Lightly and brightly shone the sun, As if the morn was a jocund one. Although we were anticipating to march at eight o'clock, it might have been an appropriate harbinger of the day of the re-generation of mankind; but it only brought to remembriance, through the throats of many bugles, that duty enjoined upon each one, perhaps, before the setting sun, to lay down a life for his country.

. Hill and Trimble pressed them from above, whilst A. P. Hill, McLaws, and Anderson not only held them in check in attempting to force our lower lines, but aided in driving them from their breastworks, and accomplished the great victory of Sunday, which, indeed, was the turning-point in the whole affair. The taking of the heights on Sunday morning may properly be called the battle of Fredericksburgh. There were at this point Barksdale's brigade of McLaws's division, and a part, I think, of Hayes's Louisiana brigade, though of this I am not positive. The next engagement was on Sunday evening. The troops here engaged consisted of Anderson's and McLaws's. This occurred near Salem Church, about four miles south-west of Fredericksburgh, and may, we suppose, be regarded as the battle of Salem Church. The result of this fight was, that our men drove the enemy back fully a mile in the direction of Fredericksburgh. The closing engagements occurred along the line of the plank-road and t

geously fought. The remains of the cavalry horses can be seen in the trampled field of wheat. From left to right these men are: Lieutenant Littlefield, Lieutenant Whitney, Lieut.-Colonel Fillebrown, Captain Knowlton, and First-Sergeant Jordan, of Company C. The house well named Slaughter's house, overlooking the scene of carnage of Cedar Mountain, stood on the northern slope in the rear of the position taken by the Confederate troops under General Ewell. The brigades of Trimble and Hayes were drawn up near this house, at some distance from the brigade of Early. After the battle the whole of Jackson's army was drawn up on the slopes near it. The fugitives: followers of Pope's retreat Virginia Negroes following Pope's soldiers in their retreat from Cedar Mountain. From the beginning of the war Negroes had been a subject of debate. Even before Bull Run, on May 26, 1861, General B. F. Butler had declared that all fugitive slaves would be considered as contraband of war
