ulton's Criticism of Boynton's review of Sherman (page 11), which is virtually General Sherman's own utterance, denies any purpose or necessity of contradicting the foolish stories about our forces being surprised by the enemy at its beginning. Moulton continues: No matter what were the reasons for starting them originally in the newspapers or elsewhere, there is not the slightest excuse for reiterating them at this time. He rests his defense on the ground that Sherman's whole line wessee on the 6th of April. Buell's letter, dated January 19, 1865, to United States service Magazine, republished in the New York World, February 29, 1865. Van Horne's Army of the Cumberland, to which General Sherman's special advocate, Mr. Moulton, refers the reader, for a fair and full history of this battle, has the following (page 105): While the national army was unprepared for battle, and unexpectant of such an event, and was passing the night of the 5th in fancied security,

they reoccupied Decatur on the 27th, but too late to impede Hood's flight, for he had already crossed the Tennessee. But a cavalry force of six hundred men, under Colonel W. J. Palmer, was sent from Decatur in pursuit of Hood's train. Pressing back Roddy's cavalry near Leighton, Alabama, Palmer moved toward Columbus, Mississippi, and captured and destroyed Hood's pontoon train, ten miles from Russellville. Another force being reported in pursuit, under cover of darkness Palmer pushed for Moulton.

miles a day; until the 25th, when Tuscumbia was reached. In the mean time a body of Federal troops landed at Eastport, on the south bank of the Tennessee, and burned the little town and several plantation-houses in the neighborhood. General Dodge's division moved on slowly, pressing back Roddy to Town Creek, where, on the 28th, Forrest, with his brigade, joined Roddy. Near that place the Federal forces divided; the cavalry, under Colonel Streight, turning off to the south, towards Moulton, and the main body, under General Dodge, halting, and then marching back. Leaving Roddy to observe Dodge, Forrest pursued Streight's party with three regiments, and captured it within twenty miles of Rome, after a chase of five days, and repeated fights, in which he killed and wounded three hundred of the enemy. Fourteen hundred and sixty or seventy officers and privates surrendered to him, a number much exceeding that of the victors. In writing to the President on the 10th of the mo

soliciting a continuance of the custom which he had theretofore enjoyed; but I told him frankly that a change was necessary, and I never saw or heard of him afterward. I simply purchased in open market, arranged for the proper packing of the stores, and had not the least difficulty in supplying the troops and satisfying the head of the department in Washington. About Christmas, I had notice that my family, consisting of Mrs. Sherman, two children, and nurse, with my sister Fanny (now Mrs. Moulton, of Cincinnati, Ohio), were en route for New Orleans by steam-packet; so I hired a house on Magazine Street, and furnished it. Almost at the moment of their arrival, also came from St. Louis my personal friend Major Turner, with a parcel of documents, which, on examination, proved to be articles of copartnership for a bank in California under the title of Lucas, Turner & Co., in which my name was embraced as a partner. Major Turner was, at the time, actually en route for New York, to emb
useless to undertake the expedition. But the inhabitants, in this and adjoining counties, having heard of Dodge's advance to Tuscumbia, at once concealed their horses and mules in the mountains. This caused some delay in mounting the men, and when we reached Moulton we were poorly mounted, and even then a few had to go on foot. Here information was received that the enemy in the valley of Courtland were informed of our movements, and were advancing on us, under Colonel Roddy. We left Moulton before daylight in the morning, in order to get out of their way, not thinking that they would pursue very far so long as General Dodge made a demonstration before them. Camped at night at Day's Gap, enjoying the first full night's rest since we left Tuscumbia. On the morning of the thirtieth of April, shortly after leaving camp, our rear was fired into. The enemy soon opened on us with two pieces of artillery, doing very little damage. In a very short time the brigade dismounted, and

Artificial sponge is made of caoutchouc by imbedding intimately and evenly throughout the plastic magma of gum some sugar or other granulated material, which may be subsequently dissolved, leaving the gum porous.
