so that even I, the youngest, understood them. His favorite exercise was parsing. We used very different text-books then, from those now in use. Among them were Pope's Essay on man and Cowper's Task, and I remember I got my first feeling of hostility to slavery from being called upon to parse a half page beginning Is India freeymen, and principal men of the vicinity were present. The first class in parsing was called, and I, naturally in size and every way, was at The foot of it. We had Pope's essay on man as our text-book; for in those days there were no easy books for children,--none of the thousand treatises that have been invented since to teach ch the neighborhood, meanwhile amusing myself by recalling and reciting snatches of poetry, especially from Byron, and Moore, whom I much admired, and sometimes from Pope and Scott. Commencing in the early autumn of 1838, this continued till late in the spring of 1839. By this time, I had finished my Blackstone, and was told to

he Mississippi, and the portion at Grand Junction will follow as soon as relieved. . . . H. W. Halleck, Major-General. War Records, Vol. XVII., Part II., p. 56. Halleck's letter shows the condition of his mind. The following letter from General Pope shows the condition of his opponents:-- camp near Booneville, June 12, 1862. Major-General Halleck: A spy whom I sent some days ago to Okolona has just returned. The enemy is scattered along the whole road from Columbus to Tupelo, sixs and all the cattle of every description before them. The spy reports that the whole army is utterly demoralized, and ready to throw down their arms; the Alabama troops have heard of Wood's and Negley's movements and are clamorous to go home. Jno.

e desired to take the oath of amnesty prescribed by the President's proclamation, and be allowed to return to his home in our lines. Or, Third, whether he desired to enlist in the military or naval service of the United States. Of the ten thousand prisoners at Point Lookout, two regiments of infantry were enlisted, and many recruits went into the navy upon the solemn engagement that they should not be sent South to fight their rebel brethren. These regiments were afterwards sent to General Pope to fight the Indians, and did good service during the war. Thus, more than two thousand men and two millions of dollars in expense of recruitment and bounties were saved to the loyal States. This work was done by a young officer from Salem, Massachusetts, Col. Charles A. R. Dimon. He went out with me with the three months men, and I later promoted him to be a colonel. He took command of this enlisted regiment, which did most efficient service. On the 29th of March I received this

into a very nice coat, which in the inclement weather covered me from the cold and wet. One morning I went into the consultation room of the Supreme Court to meet Judge Shaw on a mere formal matter like signing an order. He greeted me very pleasantly and kindly. We sat a moment after what the judge had to do was done, and he admired my coat exceedingly, looking it over and praising it highly. At last looking up with a quizzical smile he said: How is it, Mr. Butler? what are those lines in Pope? Aren't they something like this:-- The fur that warmed a monarch warms a bear. I said: I think you are a little mixed in your tenses this morning, Mr. Chief Justice. Not as to the last fact, said he. I said he was brusque in his manner, especially on the bench. One day shortly before my Charlestown case came up I was going down in the cars from Lowell to Boston, and at the request of a merchant friend of mine, whose watch dog had been poisoned, I was taking down my own to lea
