be interrupted. He is laboring like himself—the people, as they become acquainted with him, love and admire him. Cresson skulks from all collision with him, in a manner at once insolent and dastardly. Garrison's party in London consists of the great body of the practically religious people, of every order, as far as they are informed, especially the Friends, and of all the staunch anti-slavery spirits; Cresson's, of a few titled, wealthy, high-pretending individuals (Lib. 3.139).

The attendance did not exceed 120 persons, one-third of whom were on the platform by special invitation, and another third were abolitionists, opposed to the object of the meeting. Sussex was in the chair. Cresson made the leading speech, declaring that the proposed society had no connection whatever with the American Colonization Society, as did every other speaker on his side, including Lord B

o the Chesapeake Bay, was selected as a favorable position, though its ultimate adoption was held contingent on developments that might arise. Accordingly, orders were issued on the night of the 30th for the movements of the different corps on the following day: the Sixth Corps, forming the right wing of the army, was ordered to Manchester in rear of Pipe Creek; headquarters and the Second Corps to Taneytown; the Twelfth and Fifth corps, forming the centre, were directed on Two Taverns and Hanover, somewhat in advance of Pipe Creek; while the left wing, formed of the First, Third, and Eleventh corps under General Reynolds, as it was closest to the line of march of the enemy, was thrown forward to Gettysburg, towards which, as it happened, Lee was then heading. Strategically, the position at Gettysburg was of supreme importance to Lee; for it was the first point in his eastward march across the South Mountain that gave command of direct lines of retreat towards the Potomac: but it

I've been reading Uncle Tom's Cabin, again lately, and always like it better than before, and see more things in it. I don't see how one man could do much against slavery. In the autumn of 1853 he joined his parents in Italy, where he remained nearly a year, most of the time in Florence. He studied Italian with much diligence, and in July of 1854 he went to Hanover, in order to study German, and also to prepare himself to enter Harvard College on his return to his own country. His parents felt such confidence in his character and habits as to allow him to be his own master while in Germany, and they never had reason to regret it. He learned to write and speak German with fluency, and enjoyed very much the opportunity he found there of hearing good music, of which he was very fond. His letters show the innocent and youthful zest with which he engaged

rmies were now but a few miles apart; and yet there is evidence that neither leader was aware of the exact whereabouts of the other. Stuart, entirely out of communication with Lee, broke the line of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad on the morning of the 29th, thus interrupting Meade's communication with Washington, and that evening rested at Westminster, but a few miles to the eastward of Meade's bivouacs. On the 30th he again rode northward, fighting his way through the Federal cavalry at Hanover, on the railway from York to Gettysburg, but much delayed by the long train of mule teams that he had captured in the vicinity of Washington, and in utter ignorance of the fact that the famous battle of Gettysburg had already begun, but a few miles to the westward from his line of march. Stuart was pressing forward to join Ewell's advance, under Early, in the vicinity of York, marching all night toward his destination, passing but seven miles to the eastward of Early's bivouac, still belie

ht, and were closely followed by the enemy. After this, Buford ordered his forces to withdraw. Colonel Murchison lost 2 men killed and 15 wounded. At Hagerstown, on the same day, Stuart's cavalry and portions of Iverson's North Carolina brigade were engaged in a hot conflict with Kilpatrick's cavalry division. In this engagement, the four North Carolina cavalry regiments that had followed Stuart in his long raid into Pennsylvania, participating in the battles at Sykesville, Littleton, Hanover, Hunterstown and Gettysburg, bore themselves with their usual gallantry. These four were the First, Colonel Baker; the Second, Lieut.-Col. C. M. Andrews; the Fourth, Colonel Ferebee, and the Fifth, commanded by Lieut.-Col. J. B. Gordon, of the First regiment, after the mortal wounding of its brave and soldierly colonel, Peter G. Evans.

ment, the real history of our civil war will be written. When the actors shall all have passed away, and when to the narratives of actual participants shall succeed the periods of romance and the drama; when all traces of the war shall have disappeared save the imperishable monuments which will attest the valor of victor and vanquished alike; and when the two sections shall be as thoroughly welded into one as the houses of York and Lancaster after years of blood or those of the Stuarts and Hanover—some great mind like that of Gibbon or Macaulay will dispassionately, with the clear perspective of time, collate all this heterogeneous mass of material and give to the world the unbiased truth. The South can well await the verdict of prosperity when the evidence thus sifted of prejudice and free from distortions of error or malice shall be philosophically woven into a narrative where only truth shall have a lodgment. Meantime as the era of the living actors is fast coming to a close, i

But General Humphreys, in his Virginia Campaign of ‘64 and ‘65, putting our forces at 61,953 at the commencement of the campaign (page 17), gives the Federal losses as follows; Wilderness (page 53), 15,387; Spotsylvania (page 116), 17,723; North Anna (page 133), 2,100; Cold Harbor (page 191), 12,970; total, 48,180. True, Lee had received reinforcements at Hanover, which General Humphreys estimates at 8,700 muskets and 600 officers (page 125). But he admits that before Lee had received these reinforcements, with an army of 61,953 men, he had inflicted a loss upon the enemy of 33,100. Is that not enough for the vindication of Lee's strategy and of his army's skill and discipline? So that if we suppose the two armies starting out on the campaign with equal numbers, Grant would have had no army left after the battle of Cold Harbor on the 3d June. With
