Look at the map of that country and see the five States formed out of the territory north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi generously and patriotically surrendered by Virginia. Look at that vast extent of country acquired under the administration of one of her Presidents, which to-day constitutes the States of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota west of the Mississippi, Colorado north of the Arkansas, besides the Indian Territory and the Territories of Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. Is it asked what she had added to the glories of the Republic? Who wrote the Declaration of Independence? Jefferson. Who led the armies of the Republic in maintaining and establishing that independence? Who gave mankind new ideas of greatness? Who has furnished the sublimest illustration of self-governme

ents of infantry, and 19 of cavalry—76. From North Carolina, 53 regiments of infantry and 4 of cavalry—57. From Georgia, 34 regiments of infantry and 7 of cavalry—41. From South Carolina, 28 regiments of infantry and 6 of cavalry—34. From Alabama, 16 regiments of infantry. From Mississippi, 13 regiments of infantry. From Louisiana, 10 regiments of infantry. From Florida, 6 regiments of infantry. From Texas, 3 regiments of infantry. From Tennessee, 3 regiments of infantry, and from Arkansas, one regiment of infantry.

The volunteers at first came to Virginia in companies, and were organized here into regiments. This was not

each other with more effect. Evidences of awakened energy were seen on every side, and the spirit of the troops never was at a higher pitch. A week before General Gardner came to Port Hudson, Banks's army had landed at Baton Rouge, re-occupying and fortifying the city. General Banks's advance. During the months of January and February troops arrived in considerable number. Three brigades were formed; one given to General Beall, composed principally of troops from his own State (Arkansas), and the other commands were assumed by Brigadier-Generals S. B. Maxey and John Gregg, of Texas. In March another brigade arrived commanded by Brigadier-General Rust. The enemy finally exhibited signs of activity, and about the 10th of March it became known that General Banks would make a demonstration of some kind. He did move out of Baton Rouge on the 12th and approached us with his whole force. It was confidently expected that he would attack us with some vigor, and our dispositions
