eft behind to tell the story of the panic. The rout of the Federal army seemed complete. A Check to the Retreat. The sight of Miles's reserve drawn up on the hills at Centreville, supporting a full battery of field-pieces, and the efforts of the few officers still faithful to their trust, encouraged many of the fugitive infantry to seek their old camps and go no farther. But the majority pushed on to a point near the late site of Germantown, where Lieut. Brisbane had formed a line of Hunt's artillerists across the road and repulsed all who attempted to break through. I particularly request attention to the service thus rendered by this loyal young officer. While he was thus engaged, a courier arrived with the news that Col. Montgomery was advancing with a New Jersey brigade from Falls Church, and that the retreat must be stopped, only the wagons being allowed to pass through. Some thousands of the soldiery had already got far on their way to Washington. Poor fellows! wh

the details that now occupy no inconsiderable portion of the time of the Secretary, and from which he might be relieved. The Levant sloop-of-war, Commander Wm. E. Hunt, sailed from Panama in May, 1860, for the Sandwich Islands, for the purpose of inquiring, at the suggestion of the Department of State, into the disbursement at those islands of the fund for the relief of destitute American seamen. She reached her destination safely, and the investigations were conducted by Commander Hunt at the ports of Honolulu, Lahaina, and Hilo. The last official intelligence received by the Department from the Levant was a communication from Commander Hunt, dated HiCommander Hunt, dated Hilo, Sept. 3, 1860. He expected to take his departure in a short time for Panama. Not arriving at that port by January, Flag-Officer Montgomery despatched the steamers Saranac and Wyoming in search of her. The latter visited the Sandwich Islands and various localities on the route, making every possible inquiry for her. But no ti

Dixon S. Miles, the division commander, to proceed with the two regiments and the battery to the front, where I was relieved from command of them, and resumed charge of my own regiment. Soon afterward, by directions of Col. Miles, I proceeded to the extreme left of our division, and supported Maj. Hunt's battery. Having thrown out Capt. Heiss, with his company, as skirmishers in the defiles, about a quarter of a mile on our left, I rested the remainder of my regiment on the skirt of a wood, in rear of the artillery. Perceiving that the enemy was wary and shy, I sent Lieut.-Col. Browne, with two companies detailed by him, to reconnoitre a ravine and wood where it was suspected the enemy was concealed. After deploying and penetrating the ravine to a considerable distance, all at once a

Richardson, with his brigade, was coming into line of battle, facing Blackburn's Ford. His position was well chosen, and I turned my attention to the placing of Davies' brigade and the batteries. A part of Davies' command was placed in echellon of regiments, behind fences, in support of Richardson; another portion in reserve, in support of Hunt's and Titball's batteries. After completing these arrangements, I returned to Blenker's brigade, now near a mile from Centreville heights, took a regiment to cover Green's battery, and then returned to the heights. When I arrived there just before dusk, I found all my previous arrangements of defence had been changed nor could I ascertain who had ordered it, for Gen. McDowell was not on the field. Col. Richardson was the first person I spoke to after passing Capt. Fry; he was leading his

Resolved, That in this contest there can be no neutrality, whoever is not for us is against us; and that all bearing arms not ranged beneath the flag of the Union, wherever found, shall be dealt with as traitors. Resolved, That the treasurer of the town be authorized to borrow, not exceeding ten thousand dollars, for the uses of the town for the above purposes, which shall be designated as a War Fund. Daniel Richards, John R. Langley, Charles P. Preston, E. Hunt, Samuel P.

Hunt, the chief agent, proceeded to Hawaii and authorized one of his assistants, McDougall, to conclude arrangements with the British N. W. Fur Co. as best he might. s for time, and it was not until McDougall made ready his boats and threatened to move inland up the Williamette River did McTavish agree to the sale. Meanwhile Hunt, in the Hawaiian islands, had bought the brig Pedlar for $10,000, hoping to be able to rescue some of the property. He embarked for Fort Astoria, where he arrivedh great expectations of booty, and great was their disappointment when they found their prize had slipped through their fingers by transfer to British subjects. Hunt, in the Pedlar, took on board a few Americans who had not joined the North West Co. and preferred a sea voyage to the overland trip and sailed for New York. He is

gh Mr. Hervey had formerly been superintendent as well as member of the school board, an innovation was made in the introduction of a superintendent of schools, Mr. E. Hunt, who was to give his entire time to the schools, and whose first report on the high school is of interest. In this he urged the addition of another teacher to hool were laid before the school board, for gymnastic exercises or physical training. In response to this request, military drill was introduced. In 1890, Superintendent Hunt voiced the agitation now felt for a new high school building sufficient for four hundred pupils. The old building was recognized to be inadequate, but an aous Siamese twins. The two great upstairs study halls, where we all had declamation weekly, seemed large and commodious to us at that time. It did not escape Dr. Hunt that the influence of the principal of the high school was the inspiration of the whole school system, and that as the influence of Thomas Arnold at Rugby wrough
