ed on it with grape and canister, when it broke and fell back in disorder to the shelter of the woods. The Forty-second Indiana, but a moment before almost surrounded, was thus enabled to fight its way to the left and unite with the Eighty-eighth. Soon after this the enemy made another and more furious assault upon the One Hundred and Fourth Illinois and Fifteenth Kentucky, and, driving them back, advanced to within fifty yards of my battery, and poured into it a heavy fire, killing Lieutenant Bishop, and killing or wounding all the men and horses belonging to his section, which consequently fell into rebel hands. Captain Bridges and his officers, by the exercise of great courage and coolness, succeeded in saving the remainder of the battery. It was in this encounter that Captain LeFevre, of my staff, was killed, and Lieutenant Calkins, also of the staff, was wounded. The enemy having now gained the woods south of the open field and west of the road, I opposed his further pro

ng. Ice had just begun to float in the Mississippi when the Benton put out from my ship-yard at Carondelet for the South. Some 30 or 40 miles below St. Louis she grounded. Under the direction of Captain Winslow, who commanded the vessel, Lieutenant Bishop, executive officer of the ship, an intelligent and energetic young man, set the crew at work. An anchor was put out for the purpose of hauling her off. My advice was not asked with reference to this first proceeding, and although I had bee he had been trying to move the boat, she could be got off. He replied, very promptly, Mr. Eads, if you will undertake to get her off, I shall be very willing to place the entire crew under your direction. I at once accepted the offer; and Lieutenant Bishop was called up and instructed to obey my directions. Several very large hawsers had been put on board of the boat for the fleet at Cairo. One of the largest was got out and secured to a large tree on the shore, and as heavy a strain was pu

They were diligent in the care, both spiritual and material, of their parishioners' wants. When I entered the school, a large majority of the boys belonged to the Roman Catholic Church. After a short time I was the only Protestant boy remaining, and also the smallest boy in the school. From whatever reason, the priests were particularly kind to me-Father Wallace, afterward Bishop of Nashville, treated me with the fondness of a near relative. As the charge has been frequently made that it is the practice of the priests in all their schools to endeavor to proselyte the boys confided to them, I may mention an incident which is, in my case at least, a refutation. At that period of my life I knew, as a theologian, little of the true creed of Christianity, and under the influences which surrounded me I thought it would be well that I should become a Catholic, and wen

Mr. Bishop, afterward president of a college in Ohio (Kenyon, I believe it was), a man of large attain, and entered into the swine; and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea. Mr. Bishop was going on gravely reading when a titter aroused him. He looked up astonished, and said, Sobd. A vulgar boy, in the junior class, committed some outrage during the recitation, which Dr. Bishop chose to punish as became the character of the offender. His inability to draw a straight linst, with many virtues but without grace or tact. The sight of him always seemed to suggest to Mr. Bishop the question of the Catechism, Who made ye, Dauvid? to which Atchison always answered, Gaud, and Mr. Bishop invariably responded, Quite right, Dauvid; quite right. I left him in the college when I went to West Point, and afterward, when I met him in the United States Senate, in which he was

Major McKee, with one hundred and three men of Col. Bishop's command, encountered and repulsed four hundred rebels four miles south of Hudson, Mo., and killed ten, and took seventeen prisoners and thirty horses. Five of the National troops were slightly wounded. The rebels had attacked a stock train, captured all the stock, and held the railroad men as prisoners. They were in the act of unloading the stock, when the train, stock, and men were rescued. Yesterday morning the stone fleet of sixteen old whalers arrived off Charleston Harbor,

Nominal list omitted. Captain Bishop and Lieutenant Washburn--the former of Company I, the latter Company D-behaved with great gallantry in securing the retreat of the command, Lieutenant Washburn having his horse shot. During the absence of Major Love, proceeded with the re Second Battalion, led the charge on the right in the finest manner, riding boldly in advance of their commands. The daring of Lieutenant Queal, commanding Company B, was conspicuous, cheering his men to the very muzzles of the enemy's guns, Captain Bishop, of Company I, and Captain Graves, of Company D, obeying my orders promptly under heavy fire. Lieutenant Schnitzer, acting regimental adjutant, and Lieutenant Metcalf, battalion adjutant, did their duties to my entire satisfaction. Before a

as the hill near the crest was very difficult to ascend, he had time either to re-form or to bring up a second line before we reached the top of the hill, and another repulse was the consequence. Troops never rallied more promptly, and without confusion or clamor. On taking position near the foot of the hill it was found necessary to distribute ammunition, and, while this was being done, Colonel Kelly came up with his brigade, and moved forward to the assault. The Seventh Mississippi, Colonel Bishop commanding, of my brigade, having some ammunition in the cartridge-boxes, was ordered in with Colonel Kelly, to strengthen his command as much as possible. Soon after, two Florida regiments, under Colonel Finley, also moved forward to Colonel Kelly's support. It was now nearly night, and the importance of completing the day's work, thus far so handsomely accomplished by the left wing, was apparent to all. Kelly made a most vigorous attack, supported as above, and succeeded in occupying

ation of the tripod, and some of the confusion also. The philosophy is sometimes unintelligible, and the moral influence in some degree dubious. How gorgeous is the style; how the embroidery and the jewels are piled on! It made me think of Madame Bishop's singing. She was so fond of fioritune in music, that when she sang some common, simple air, even Rosa was sometimes puzzled to recognize it. Yet Madame Bishop charmed me with her tone-embroidery, and so does this woman with her word-embroiMadame Bishop charmed me with her tone-embroidery, and so does this woman with her word-embroidery. Some of her comparisons sparkle with poetry; but it is sparkle, not glow. It is from outward, not inward light. They tell me she is a German, resident in England; and that accounts for the un-Englishness of some of her phraseology. A Jewess she is, of course. I am always pleased to have the Jews do anything great; as I am to have the colored people, or any other persecuted race.

em to have been much more successful than those in Washington. After the New York reading she is glad and thankful. The visits in Bordentown were always a delight and refreshment to her. She and her little Hitter frolicked, once more two girls together: e.g., the following incident:-- The Reverend-- Bishop was the Mailliards' pastor; a kindly gentleman, who could frolic as well as another. One day our Aunt Annie, wishing to ask him to dine, sat down at her desk and wrote:--My dear Mr. Bishop, To-day we shall dish up At one and a half The hind leg of a calf At this point she was called away on household business. Our mother sat down and wrote:-- Now B., if he's civil, May join in our revel; But if he is not, He may go to the devil! During the days that followed, Kant and charades divided her time pretty evenly. Kant's Anthropologia is rather trifling, after his great works. I read it to find out what Anthropology is. Good is a direction; virtue is a habit.
