e the school for another term at least. This I felt myself obliged to decline, although my finances sadly needed the tuition money, which would have been in the next term fair remuneration. My object was my profession, and it could not be delayed. I returned to my studies and practised in the Police Court, always carefully attending the sessions of the Superior Court, and coming home to the office to study from the books the questions of law raised at the bar. I so continued until the September term, 1840, for the Court of Common Pleas. The session was held in Lowell, and the Hon. Charles Henry Warren presided. Mr. Smith had quite given up the practice of the law in courts, although he had frequent applications for advice. He advised me to make application for admission to the bar, offering, if I were admitted, to go into partnership with me under my own name, because of his own financial difficulties. As the law then stood, if a student had slept in a lawyer's office for t

ng general that great distress, privation, suffering, hunger, and even starvation has been brought upon the people of New Orleans and vicinage by the course taken by the banks and dealers in currency. He has been urged to take measures to provide, as far as may be, for the relief of the citizens, so that the loss may fall, in part, at least, on those who have caused and ought to bear it. The general sees with regret that the banks and bankers causelessly suspended specie payments in September last, in contravention of the laws of the State and of the United States. Having done so, they introduced Confederate notes as currency, which they bought at a discount, in place of their own bills, receiving them on deposit, paying them out for their discounts, and collecting their customers' notes and drafts in them as money, sometimes even against their will, thus giving these notes credit and a wide general circulation, so that they were substituted in the hands of the middling men, t

General Weitzel was accordingly sent down to make that reconnoissance. About the 20th of September, as I remember, he returned and reported the condition of things there.

although not sufficient, in my judgment, but yet sufficient to begin with, rendered necessary a change of order. General Smith embarks to-night. I have now left here one division and two regiments of infantry, invalids, dismounted cavalry, and artillery. Much of the light artillery I shall send away as soon as my transports return. I regret exceedingly the loss of this opportunity upon Petersburg. Benj. F. Butler, Major-General. [No. 64. See page 677.] During the latter part of September last, General Grant sent for me to come to his headquarters. He told me that an expedition was being prepared to close the mouth of Cape Fear River, near Wilmington .... He said that the War Department had selected an officer to command the land forces of the expedition, but he did not wish that officer to command them, as he had once shown timidity. . . . . . . . . . . . . Q. Who was that officer selected by the War Department to whom General Grant objected? A. General Gillmore.
