his cavalry dismounted, was engaging them. The assault was continued with great determination upon both Cleburne and Wheeler until after night, but every attempt to break their lines was gallantly repulsed. About ten o'clock at night, Brigadier-General Granberry, with his brigade of Texans, made a dashing charge on the enemy, driving them from the field, their killed and wounded being left in our hands. During this engagement two or three hundred prisoners were captured, all belonging to Howard's corps. After the engagement around New Hope Church nothing of very great importance transpired while occupying that line. The enemy changed position to Lost Mountain, my corps in the centre. Afterward I moved to the right near Kenesaw Mountain; subsequently changed position to the extreme left of the army. However, nothing of importance occurred on my line while in this position, save that, on the 22d of June, the divisions of Stevenson and Hindman attacked the enemy, driving him from

My mother State, to thee I kneel, Maryland! For life and death, for woe and weal, Thy peerless chivalry reveal, And gird thy beauteous limbs with steel, Maryland! My Maryland! Thou wilt not cower in the dust, Maryland! Thy beaming sword shall never rust, Maryland! Remember Carroll's sacred trust, Remember Howard's warlike thrust-- And all thy slumberers with the just, Maryland! My Maryland! Come! 'tis the red dawn of the day, Maryland! Come! with thy panoplied array, Maryland! With Ringgold's spirit for the fray, With Watson's blood at Monterey, With fearless Lowe and dashing May, Maryland! My Maryland! Come! for thy shield is bright and strong, Maryland! Come! for thy dalliance does thee wrong, Maryland! Come! to thine own heroic throng, That stalks with Liberty along, And give a new Key to

63. the empty sleeve. [inscribed to Gen. Howard, of Maine, who lost his right arm in defence of his Country.] by David Barker. By the moon's pale light to a gazing throng, Let me tell one tale, let me sing one song! 'Tis a tale devoid of an aim or plan, 'Tis a simple song of a one-arm man. Till this very hour I could ne'er believe What a tell-tale thing is an empty sleeve-- What a weird, queer thing is an empty sleeve. It tells in a silent tone to all, Of a country's need and a country's call, Of a kiss and a tear for a child and wife, And a hurried march for a nation's life: Till this very hour who could e'er believe What a tell-tale thing is an empty sleeve-- What a weird, queer thing is an empty sleeve? It tells of a battle-field of gore-- Of the sabre's clash — of the cannon's roar-- Of the deadly charge — of the bugle's note-- Of a gurgling sound in a foeman's throat-- Of the whizzing grape — of the fiery shell-- Of a scene which mimics the scenes of hell: Till this very hour<

un no more lie wore The blue great-coat, etc. Perhaps in the swamps was a bed for his form, From the seven days battling and marching sore, Or with Kearny and Pope 'mid the steelly storm, As the night closed in, that coat he wore. The blue great-coat, etc. Or when right over, as Jackson dashed, That collar or cape some bullet tore; Or when far ahead Antietam flashed, He flung to the ground the coat that he wore. The blue great-coat, etc. Or stood at Gettysburgh, where the graves Rang deep to Howard's cannon roar; Or saw with Grautt the unchained waves Where conquering hosts the blue coat wore. The blue great-coat, etc. That garb of honor tells enough, Though [ its story guess no more; The heart it covers is made of such stuff, That coat is mail which that soldier wore. The blue great-coat, etc. He may hang it up when the peace shall come, And the moths may find it behind the door; But his children will point, when they hear a drum, To the proud old coat their father wore.

or New England, from London, March 16, 1628, potatoes are named. The potato is a native of Chili and Peru. We think there is no satisfactory record of potatoes being in England before they were carried from Santa Fe, in America, by Sir John Hawkins, in 1653. They are often mentioned as late as 1692. Their first culture in Ireland is referred to Sir Walter Raleigh, who had large estates there. A very valuable kind of potato was first carried from America by that patriot of every clime, Mr. Howard, who cultivated it at Cardington, near Bedford, 1765. Its culture then had become general. Its first introduction to this neighborhood is said to have been by those emigrants, called the Scotch Irish, who first entered Londonderry, New Hampshire, April 11, 1719. As they passed through Andover, Mass., they left some potatoes as seed to be planted that spring. They were planted according to the directions; and their balls, when ripened, were supposed to be the edible fruit. The balls, t

rd the lines of Ewell's corps. Stuart took position on a ridge, which commanded a wide area of open ground, and The hollow square in the Civil War: a formation used at Gettysburg Many authorities doubted that the formation portrayed in this picture was used at the battle of Gettysburg. Not until the meeting of the survivors of the First Corps at Gettysburg in May, 1885, were these doubts finally dispelled. Late in the afternoon of July 1st General Buford had received orders from General Howard to go to General Doubleday's support. Buford's cavalry lay at that time a little west of the cemetery. Though vastly outnumbered by the advancing Confederate infantry, Buford formed his men for the charge. The Confederates immediately set to forming squares in echelon. This consumed time, however, and the respite materially aided in the escape of the First Corps, if it did not save the remnant from capture. Cavalry in the Civil War was not wont to charge unbroken infantry, the latte

remarked that no clear conception of the remarkable campaign to Atlanta can be had unless the difficult character of the country and the formidable nature of these artificial defenses are remembered. Returning to the armies of the Potomac and of Northern Virginia, we find that, at Chancellorsville, Hooker lost precious time by stopping, after attaining Lee's flank, and entrenching, instead of making an immediate attack; and another entrenched line — this time of value — was taken up after Howard Engineers. For its murderous artillery fire every dawn and dusk during the nine months siege of Petersburg, Union Fort Sedgwick was named by the Confederates Fort Hell. It was located some three miles south of Fort McGilvery on the southern end of the inner line of Federal entrenchments, east of Petersburg. Hell feared invasion in this instance, as the bristling row of slender sharpened sticks planted in the salient witnesses. They were simply light palisades, held by putting p
