out these military trials and asked him not to execute the men who had been convicted by the military commission in Indiana he answered that he would not hang them, but added, I'll keep them in prison awhile to keep them from killing the Government. I am fully satisfied therefore that Lincoln was opposed to these military commissions, especially in the Northern States, where everything was open and free.--David Davis, statement, September 10, 1866, to W. H. H. I was counsel for Bowles, Milligan, et al., who had been convicted of conspiracy by military tribunal in Indiana. Early in 1865 I went to Washington to confer with the President, whom I had known, and with whom in earlier days I had practised law on the circuit in Illinois. My clients had been sentenced, and unless the President interfered were to have been executed. Mr. Hendricks, who was then in the Senate, and who seemed to have little faith in the probability of executive clemency, accompanied me to the White House.

st States in the Union, Delaware furnished more men and money, in proportion to its military population, than any other State. The 1st Delaware Cavalry was not a full regiment, but a battalion of seven companies, and in 1864 it served, dismounted, in the Sixth Corps. The Delaware Heavy Artillery consisted of one company only — Ahl's Independent Company. The State furnished, also, an infantry company — Stirling's — which enlisted in August, 1864, for one year; and a company of cavalry — Milligan's — which enlisted in July, 1864, for thirty days. Maryland.--Over 40,000 Marylanders followed the old line bugle, fife, and drum into the Union ranks. Including colored troops, the State furnished 46,638 men for the Union Armies, and paid commutation for 3,678 more,--a total of 56,316. The Maryland Brigade belonged to the Second Division, Fifth Corps, and was composed of the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 8th Maryland Infantry, together with the infantry command known as the Purnell (Md.) L

asted until eight o'clock at night--fourteen hours. The enemy made the attack, and gained some advantage early in the day on the left, and subsequently the right, but was finally repulsed with great slaughter. Our own losses have been heavy, including many officers of worth and position. For the present I can only mention the following: Killed: Brigadier-Generals Starke and Branch; Colonel Douglas, of the Thirteenth Georgia, commanding brigade; Colonel Homes, of the Second Georgia; Colonel Milligan, of the Fifteenth Georgia; Colonel S.

icers. This change of position was made to my entire satisfaction, and with but small loss, in the face of greatly superior numbers. Before these troops had reached their new position, the Fifteenth Georgia volunteers, under the command of Colonel Milligan, the Seventeenth, under the command of Captain McGregor, of my brigade, Major Little, with five companies of the Eleventh Georgia, (Colonel Anderson's brigade,) all of whom had been detached several days before to guard ammunition and other official returns could be brought in, I am unable to state it accurately. Colonel Benning has doubtless, before this time, furnished you with them. Among the casualties of the day, I had to deplore the loss of two commanders of regiments. Colonel Milligan, of the Fifteenth Georgia, who greatly distinguished himself, both at Manassas and in this action, for personal gallantry and efficiency as a soldier and field officer, fell while gallantly leading his regiment in the final charge, (and near

onfederates. Battle of Cold Harbour. The Federal line of battle ran in the following order, from right to left: Burnside, Warren, Smith, Wright, and Hancock. The latter was opposed by Breckinridge's command on Lee's extreme right; Ewell's corps held the extreme left opposite Burnside; and Hill's corps was in reserve. The attack was led by Hancock, who momentarily carried the position held by Breckinridge's troops, but was severely repulsed, as this part of the line was reinforced by Milligan's Florida brigade, and the Maryland battalion. This was the only corps of the enemy that came in contact with the Confederate works. The two corps on the right of Hancock were repulsed; and Warren and Burnside staggered on the line of the rifle-pits. The fact was that Grant, in testing the question, whether Lee's army had or had not been demoralized by its experience from the Rapidan to the James, found his own army so incapable, that he was compelled to withdraw it in sheer despair.
