of a Spanish gentleman of the city, was from the beginning of the war a decided Union woman, and after its occupation by Union troops was a constant and faithful visitor at the hospitals and rendered great service to Union soldiers. Mrs. Flanders, wife of Hon. Benjamin Flanders, and her two daughters, Miss Florence and Miss Fanny Flanders were also well known for their persistent Unionism and their abundant labors for the sick and wounded. Mrs. and Miss Carrie Wolfley, Mrs. Dr. Kirchner, Mrs. Mills, Mrs. Bryden, Mrs. Barnett and Miss Bennett, Mrs. Wibrey, Mrs. Richardson, Mrs. Hodge, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Howell, Mrs. Charles Howe of Key West, and Miss Edwards from Massachusetts, were all faithful and earnest workers in the hospitals throughout the war, and Union women when their Unionism involved peril. Miss Sarah Chappell, Miss Cordelia Baggett and Miss Ella Gallagher, also merit the same commendation. Nor should we fail to do honor to those loyal women in the mountainous district

a must be regarded as the most remarkable in history. Not only did the officers exhibit great skill and daring in their operations in the field, but the highest praise is also due to the commanding general for his admirable dispositions for dislodging the enemy from a position apparently impregnable. For two days Grant's army pursued the retreating forces of Bragg. We stopped at Greyfield, Ga., and turned back. When Sherman with the Fifteenth Corps and I with the Eleventh were near Mission Mills, Sherman received a brief note from Grant. He said he couldn't get Granger with the Fourth Corps off soon enough for Knoxville, and that Sherman must turn north at once, or Burnside would be overwhelmed by Longstreet. Sherman answered: Why not send Howard with me? Grant, on receiving Sherman's reply, so ordered it. I was as badly off for transportation and supplies as Granger; but it was another opportunity. With our respective corps Sherman and I marched immediately toward Knox

to three men of high standing in different branches of that business. From two of these I have since heard; and they were apparently even more surprised than I was, because they were better acquainted with the subject. One of them writes thus: Mrs.--called on me to-day, and I am very glad you introduced her. She is not only a bright woman but an exceptional manufacturer, and I shall try to help her. She brought a specimen of her blankets, and I showed then to the wool-buyer of the-- Mills, who happened to be in my office at the time. He thought they must have been made by the Mission Mills of California, which make the best blankets in the country. It is those blankets she set herself to beat, if possible. he was genuinely surprised. My other correspondent sent me word that neither of his mills-He being treasurer of several-had attained to producing such a quality of blankets as these, or to obtaining a price so high as these might fairly command. He also said that it

nd Mr. Noyes requested me to wait for his return trip. Of course the audience was not much . . . greater than the Sunday before, and great were the lamentations, of course, of the saddened parish committee. ... . . George C. came for me before tea. It was bright and beautiful, and I saw more of the place than I had before. We rode up the fine long street joining Newbury and Newburyport, past Lord Timothy's house with the statues in front, etc., etc.; and by and by got to the [Artichoke] Mills. I had heard of the place before, but had no conception of its beauty even in winter. What must the ravine and grove be in summer!-the superb elm, and the delightful old-looking buildings — so refreshing to see anything old. Mrs. C[urson] and the two damsels received me most cordially and I felt quite at home. One of the happiest families I ever saw. ... It was a glorious moon and yet mild, and we went outside the door a little. Oh, so lovely with the fields of snow and the dark shadows

s; Prof. C. E. Stowe, widely known, both in Europe and America, as a scholar an i author; and Professor, and subsequently Major-General 0. M. Mitchell, whom the nation remembers as one of its most accomplished scientific men, and mourns as one of its noblest martyrs in the cause of liberty. In this brilliant circle Mrs. Stowe's genius soon began to shine conspicuously. Some of her contributions to these reunions were received with unaffected wonder and delight. The portraiture of old Father Mills, of Torringford, Conn., which appears in the Mayflower under the title of Father Morris, was greeted with uproarious applause. But her Uncle Tim, written in 1834 for the Semicolon club, and read at one of its sessions, made the deepest impression. And this same sketch, which is still one of the most charming and characteristic productions of her pen, published first in Judge Hall's Magazine, and afterward in the Mayflower, first attracted public attention to her as a writer of great ver

hen about our dinner hour,—half past 2 o'clock. The matter of the disputed ballot was discussed, and the opinion seemed to be that, according to the precedents of the session, the blank vote, I think it was, would not be counted. However, the matter was decided otherwise, and that ballot went for nothing. This ballot bore Sumner's name in print, crossed with faint pencil—marks, and underneath was that of John mills in pencil. The Free Soilers consented unanimously to have it counted for Mills, who had only one other vote. The next day the interest was very great, as it was perfectly well known that the vote would be very close. Mr. Sumner again came to my father's house—57 Mt. Vernon Street—to dine, and we waited with a good deal of anxiety for news from the State House, which was but two blocks away. Before we had been long at dinner, my younger brother, Henry, was seen coining up to the door, and from the slow manner in which he walked we drew not very favorable conclusions

omingo Creek and Morgan re-entered Kentucky, while Price again marched into Missouri. Altogether the Confederacy was showing a wonderful amount of energy in the employment of its daily lessening resources. Mr. Lincoln felt and expressed in August his discouragement on account of the failure to secure any decided victories, and especially that Richmond was so successfully defended. He then turned for consolation to further enrollment of the negro slaves, and in his August interview with Judge Mills, of Wisconsin, he cried out: Abandon all the posts now garrisoned by black men, take 200,000 men from our side and put them in the battlefield or cornfield against us and we would be compelled to abandon the war in three weeks! General Grant at this time built his expectations of success on the approaching exhaustion of Confederate fighting men. Writing from his headquarters to Washburne, August 16, 1864, he comforts the administration with these words: The rebels have now in their ranks
