s agreed to wait and take his chance in the next vessel that goes out. I hope Captain Lalor may be able to get out, but there seems no principle upon which a right to precedence is ascertained beyond priority, and I am fearful of the result. I have been so fortunate as to secure a copy of Saturday's Sentinel, but have not yet read the interesting article it contains. With great esteem, I am, &c., &c., James P. Holcombe. Letter from Hon. J. P. Holcombe. Saint George's, March 12th, 1864. Hon. J. P. Benjamin, Secretary of State, C. S. A.: Sir — I avail myself of the earliest opportunity to inform you of the circumstances which have delayed my departure from this port. The Caledonia crossed the bar at Wilmington about ten o'clock on Tuesday night, the first of March. With the exception of that night and the succeeding day, we had fine weather, but the speed of the vessel was so much less than had been anticipated that we did not reach this island until Sunday night.

Appendix I: newspaper article, in favor of General Meade, mentioned in letter of March 15, 1864. see page 180, Vol. II (the Round table, a Weekly record of the notable, the useful and the Tasteful) (New York, Saturday, March 12, 1864） Ought General Meade to be removed? This question is now absorbing the attention of the authorities at Washington, and soon will be, if it is not already, decided. The fatality that has attached to every commander of the brave Army of the Potomac has affixed itself to General Meade. The movement against him, at first only whispered among a few discontented subordinates in the army, has at last reached the capital, and has attained the dignity—if dignity it be—of an open opposition. The main movers appear to be General Daniel E. Sickles and the new Committee on the Conduct of the War. It is urged that General Meade is too slow; that but for the dash of some of his division commanders the victory at Gettysburg would have been a cowardly retreat;<

Appendix J: newspaper article, signed Historicus, attack on General Meade, mentioned in letter of March 15, 1864. see page 180, Vol. II (New York Herald, March 12, 1864） The battle of Gettysburg--important communication from an eye-witness — how the victory was won and how its advantages were lost--Generals Halleck's and Meade's official reports Refuted &C., &C., &C. To the editor of the Herald: The Battle of Gettysburg is the decisive battle of this war. It not only saved the Capital from invasion, but turned the tide of victory in our favor. The opinion of Europe on the failure of the rebellion dates from this great conflict. How essential then, that its real history should be known. Up to this moment no clear narrative has appeared. The sketches of the press, the reports of Generals Halleck and Meade and the oration of Mr. Everett give only phases of this terrible struggle, and that not very correctly. To supply this hiatus I send you a connected, and I hope,
