fficers, without losing a man himself. The Secretary of the Navy spoke of the affair as the most marked and extraordinary in the service during the year. The Atlanta made another of the list of Confederate iron-clads which the Nationals had recently captured or destroyed. In that brief space of fifteen minutes, the glowing visions of ruin to the National Navy, the raising of the blockade of Wilmington, Charleston, and Mobile, and the speedy recognition of the Confederacy as a nation by Great Britain and France, which the Conspirators and their friends had indulged when contemplating the Atlanta, faded away. Instead of raiding up the Atlantic coast, spreading terror among the inhabitants of seaport towns, she was taken quietly to Philadelphia, and there exhibited for awhile for the benefit of the fund of the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon. See page 578, volume I. It is said that the cost of the Atlanta was defrayed entirely by the proceeds of the voluntary sale of their jewel

r as possible. Through the grossest misrepresentations by the Confederate agents abroad, European capitalists were induced to take their bonds to the amount of $15,000,000, their payment professedly secured by the sales of cotton, to be sent to England. These bonds were eagerly sought after by confiding and hopeful Englishmen, who sympathized with the Conspirators, and a large number of the members of the Southern Independence Association See page 46. became heavy holders of the worthless, one of the most bitter of the South Carolina Conspirators (see chapter IV., volume I.), dated at Charleston, October 13, 1862, Beauregard said: Has the bill for the execution of Abolition prisoners, after January next, been passed?

the navy could enter the river, and the port of Wilmington would be sealed. General Butler was further instructed that should the troops under General Weitzel fail to effect a landing at or near Fort Fisher, they will be returned to the armies operating against Richmond, without delay. General Grant's instructions to General Butler, December 6, 1864. General Butler had read of the destructive effects, at a considerable distance, of the explosion of a large quantity of gunpowder, in England, and he suggested that a similar explosion, on board of a vessel run close under Fort Fisher, might demolish that work, or at least so paralyze the garrison, that troops, on hand, might make an easy conquest of the place. This suggestion was made just before he was ordered to New York, to keep the peace there during the Presidential election. When he returned, he found that the suggestion had been considered, that the powder experiment was to be tried, and that preparations for it were a-

United States, cheaper than cotton obtained by running the blockade. As for Earl Russell himself, I need not tell him that this is a war for freedom and national independence, and the rights of human nature, and not a war for empire; and if Great Britain should only be just to the United States, Canada will remain undisturbed by us, so long as she prefers the authority of the noble Queen to voluntary incorporation in the United States. What shall I tell the King of Prussia? I will tell him for he told us in the beginning that he had no sympathy with rebellion anywhere. In this pleasant way the Secretary showed the relations of foreign governments to our own, during the war, and presented the fact, in bold relief, that while Great Britain and France-Christian nations — were doing all they dare to assist the Conspirators in destroying the Republic, Pagan China and Mohammedan Turkey, led by principles of right and justice, were its abiding friends.

Mallory, the Secretary of the Navy, doubting whether his official services would be needed on the Gulf, fled, with the notorious Wigfall, by railway, to La Grange, where he found his family, and was subsequently arrested. Benjamin, the Secretary of State, mysteriously disappeared, after making ample provision for his own comfort. He afterward solved the enigma by showing his person in England. Of all the ministers, only Reagan remained faithful to the person of the chief. Up to this time, Davis's wife and children, and Mrs. Davis's sister, Miss Howell, had accompanied the fugitive Government from Danville. Now, for prudential reasons, this family took another, but nearly parallel route, in the flight toward the Gulf, traveling in wagons. Information soon reached Davis that some Confederate soldiers, believing that the treasure was with Mrs. Davis, had formed a plot to seiz

and grow. The mother of one of the children gave ten cents. This was the first subscription to the stock of The Bird's nest bank, which was organized, the shares being ten cents each, and it was resolved that eight-tenths of all subscriptions should be appropriated to the relief of the Freedmen, and two-tenths for the benefit of The Bird's nest. The children devoted their leisure to selling shares. Very soon there were subscriptions from every State in the Union, but two; also in Canada, England, Scotland, and Germany. In one year from its foundation, the bank had sold 2,400 shares. The founder had then been in the grave several months. Such was the growth of that little seed, in the rich soil of American hearts. Cornelius Vanderbilt, an humble New York boatman fifty years earlier, presented to his Government a fully equipped steam-ship-of-war, worth nearly one million dollars. To associations, and for special objects, about one hundred million dollars were contributed, of which
