e not back again! He was slain by the savage red men, And scalped — all his dark-brown curls! That I am still lone Is'bel Steele, Do you wonder now, sweet girls? ”Ay, the girls of those times had courage, And I think they have it now! Though they do not need to toil so hard, They can soothe the fevered brow. And the men — are as keen for fighting Could they find the fight to do; But they chafe and fret at a soldier's life, That is a la grande Revue! And they feel the want of a spirit That is free from selfish aims, To lead them to crush the monster, And to quench these smouldering flames. ”Oh would that our God would give us A man, half Washington! How soon would we hear the tidings That the bloody work was done. Though it cost the heads of traitors, And loyal blood beside, Let it flow, if it opes the portals Of freedom, far and wide. Let it flow in a crimson torrent, And then — take off the yoke, And say to Earth's sneering nations: the Rusted Chain is broke!“ Indianapolis

passed through the window of the house in which he was, struck him on the shoulder, and entered the lung. He has been in a very dangerous condition, wrote the surgeon, but he is now fast recovering. He is a universal pet, and is well cared for in the officers' quarters. The next tidings were more joyful. The regiment were on their way to Detroit, on a thirty days furlough, and would remain to recruit. Now the telegraph notified those interested that they were in Louisville — then in Indianapolis — in Michigan City — at last in Detroit. With a happy heart the good mother telegraphed to have her boy sent to Chicago as soon as possible, and then she watched the arrival of the trains. He will be here to-night — he will be here to-morrow --she said, and every summons to the door she was sure was her Charlie. Every thing was in readiness for the darling — his room — his clothes — the supper-table set with the luxuries he loved — and there sat mother, sister, and brother,

place between General Burnside, the President, Mr. Stanton, and myself. What General Burnside may have said to the President or Secretary of War about me, in my absence, I, of course, do not know; but I have assurances that he never suggested my removal to either. I have no desire to push this inquiry any farther, being satisfied that General Burnside's memory was, at least at that time, unreliable. Very respectfully, H. W. Halleck. Gen. W. T. H. Brooks to Gen. Franklin. Indianapolis, June 2, 1863. dear Franklin: I received your letter of the twenty ninth ult. yesterday. I was very sorry not to meet you. I spoke to the Secretary about Burnside having stated that he had told the President he ought to remove himself and Halleck. He said he had never heard of it until a few days before, when Halleck having seen the statement made by you in your pamphlet, spoke to him about it. That so far as he knew, there is not a word of truth in it. I heard Burnside make the

cer, whom I had sent there for that object. I inspected also at Springfield (Ill.), Chicago, several points on the Illinois Central Railroad, several times at Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Columbus. Maj. Marcy also inspected the points left unexamined by me. In connection with Gov. Dennison I had several meetings with the governod States service and proved very useful. Soon after Gen. Patterson commenced his operations in the vicinity of Williamsport (when on the cars returning from Indianapolis, where I went to inspect some regiments of Indiana troops) I received from him a telegraphic despatch stating that he had largely superior forces in front of hsuggestion had been adopted the result would have been that no Bull Run no. 1 would have been fought. I think it was during my absence on this very trip (to Indianapolis) that Grant came to Cincinnati to ask me, as an old acquaintance, to give him employment, or a place on my staff.
