t the streets were lined with people. A long procession commanded by General Sheridan followed the funeral train to Rock Creek Cemetery, two miles away, where General Logan's casket was deposited in the vestibule of the mausoleum of his friend Hutchinson, the use of which was tendered by Mrs. Hutchinson. General Sheridan ordered a military guard of this tomb for many months. As soon as it was possible I erected a granite mortuary chapel in the Soldiers' Home Cemetery, and to this General LogaMrs. Hutchinson. General Sheridan ordered a military guard of this tomb for many months. As soon as it was possible I erected a granite mortuary chapel in the Soldiers' Home Cemetery, and to this General Logan's casket was removed. The walls and ceiling of the chapel are covered with wreaths and other designs in immortelles. And thus a great and spotless career was ended. Stunned and almost paralyzed by the crushing blow which had fallen upon me, it took me some time to rally sufficiently to take up life's dreary duties. I could not forget the confidence reposed in me by him who had been taken away. I was ambitious for our children, and desired, if possible, to complete some of General L

e preparation had been made for winter quarters, and much suffering and discontent was the consequence. Various efforts were made by many officers to break the monotony of the camp and keep the soldiers cheerful. With this view, the musical Hutchinson family were permitted, by Secretary Cameron, to visit the camps and sing their simple and stirring songs. They were diffusing sunshine through the army by delighting crowds of soldiers who listened to their voices, when their career of usefulness was suddenly arrested by the following order: By direction of General McClellan, the permit given to the Hutchinson family to sing in the camp, and their pass to cross the Potomac, are revoked, and they will not be allowed to sing to the troops. Why not? The answer was in the fact, that they had sung Whittier's stirring song, lately written, to the tune of Luther's Hymn, Ein feste burg ist unser Gott, in which, among eight similar verses, was the following:--What gives the wheat-fi

agadahoc, extending back to the Great Lakes and River of Canada. This grant was called Laconia. So little was known of the continent that it was supposed the River of Canada (the St. Lawrence) was within a hundred miles of the mouth of the Merrimack. It seems to be beyond dispute that this colony of Laconia was established by prominent merchants whose aim was to establish stations for fishing and carrying on commerce. Entire freedom of religious views was permitted, and Wheelwright and Hutchinson came here when expelled from Massachusetts Bay. The land within certain portions of the grant was afterwards occupied under the designation of New Hampshire, and this included the territory now known as Vermont. The townships were all laid out with a church and parsonage lot, or glebe, and a school lot, after the manner of the Church of England. This was in compliance with an order made to the ministers by the council. New Hampshire was settled in organized plantations about the ye

nd. My loss in the action of the Tuscumbia was two or three killed and eight or ten wounded. This brigade was subsequently detailed as the rear guard of the army, but had no other engagement with the enemy. I have the honor to transmit herewith a full list of the killed, wounded, and missing in the three days actions alluded to. The officers of my staff were present, and untiring in the discharge of their respective duties. In addition to the assistance given by my Adjutant-General, Captain Hutchinson, my Inspector-General, Captain Percy, and Lieutenant Carter, Aide-de-Camp, I am indebted to Caldwell, of the Watson battery, for bearing orders in the field. All of these gentlemen were conspicuous for coolness and courage during the action, and on the retreat. In closing, I would call the attention of the division commander to the unexampled courage and endurance displayed by the troops, who, under hardships and privations which can only be appreciated by those who experienced the
