Subject of one at night was Repentance, and he explained that conviction, contrition, or sorrow, confession and reformation constitute repentance. November 2. Major H. A. Whiting, of General Rodes' staff, and Lieutenant Dan Partridge, of General Battle's, inspected our brigade. I drew five splendid English overcoats and three blankets for Company F. How can I fairly issue or divide so few articles, so much needed this cold weather? These uncomplaining men are patriotic indeed. Sutler Sam Brewer arrived with a load of goods which he speedily sold out to clamoring, eager purchasers. He demandsand gets $1.00 a pound for salt, $2.00 per dozen

and added: Information should be got to Sherman of all preparations made to meet him on the sea-coast. General Sherman was evidently unacquainted with the contents of these despatches when he wrote in his Memoirs, Vol. II., page 166, that November 2nd was the first time that General Grant assented to the march to the sea. The telegrams to Halleck and Stanton he probably never saw, and those to himself, of the 11th and 12th of October, appear not to have reached him. The wires were cut betw making war was different from Sherman's. In the meantime, Forrest had moved north from Corinth, and reached Fort Heiman, on the Tennessee, seventy miles from the Ohio; here, he captured a gunboat and two transports with supplies. On the 2nd of November, he appeared before Johnsonville, the western terminus of a short railroad connecting Nashville with the Tennessee. This point was one of Thomas's bases of supplies, and the approach of Forrest created great consternation among the quarterm

urned safe home, his servants having been much perplexed for him, and having walked about, and shot off pieces, and hallooed in the night, but he heard them not. October 30. The Governor, having erected a building of stone at Mistick, there came so violent a storm of rain, for twenty-four hours, from the N. E. and S. E. as (it being not finished, and laid with clay for want of lime) two sides of it were washed down to the ground; and much harm was done to other houses by that storm. November 2. The ship Lyon, William Peirce, master, arrived at Natascot. There came in her, the Governour's wife, his eldest son and his wife, and others of his children, and Mr. Eliot, a minister, and other families, being in all about sixty persons, who all arrived in good health, having been ten weeks at sea, and lost none of their company but two children, whereof one was the Governour's daughter Ann, about one year and half old, who died about a week after they came to sea.

with Price; on the Kentucky side it was sufficient to make a serious demonstration against Columbus, to oblige the enemy to hold all his forces there. On the 2d of November, Grant was ordered by Fremont to send a few troops in pursuit, of a detachment of three thousand men, who, it was reported, were on their way to Cassville and in Texas, the Federals by a bold stroke destroyed one of the vessels which the Confederates were preparing to break the blockade. During the night of November 7th two armed launches were sent by the frigate Santee, stationed outside of Galveston, to attack the steamer General Rusk, which was being fitted out for war purposes. Thal return in the beginning of November, sailors call the death-blast. The bad weather overtook Dupont south-east of Cape Hatteras on the night of the 1st and 2d of November. When day dawned, cloudy and dim, on that immense sea, the waves of which the hurricane covered with foam, the squadron was entirely scattered and in a peril

comprised between the Yazoo and the great river is flat, marshy and intersected by bayous, which flow slowly from the rounded bed (dos daane) of the latter river; frequently flooded, and covered with cypress thickets, the soil, wherever it has been reclaimed, is of an exceptional fertility. Farther south the undulating ground ends in a series of abrupt slopes, which border the left bank of the Yazoo, and sink at last in the waters of the Mississippi on the shores of Vicksburg. On the 2d of November, Grant had put five divisions in motion, which swelled the number of his active forces to more than thirty thousand men. Three of these divisions started from Bolivar, the other two came from Corinth, and all proceeded toward Grand Junction. On the 4th the Federal army occupied this point, as well as Lagrange, while the cavalry was advancing toward the south. But the reinforcements, which had long been expected, arrived slowly, and the political influences, which had embarrassed milita

ably scattered. It required several days to enable him to concentrate his forces and cross over the two bridges—an operation which was only terminated on the 2d of November. The Ninth corps, the reserve artillery, Stoneman's division, the First, and lastly the Sixth, corps, crossed the bridge at Berlin. In the mean while, the other to be able to afford one another mutual support in case Lee should cross the mountains and come to attack the army either in front or in rear. On the 2d of November, the day when the rear-guard, consisting of the Sixth corps, reached at last the right bank of the river at Berlin, Burnside caused the Ninth corps to occupy not having been able to catch them in their raid across Maryland. A favorable opportunity for accomplishing this presented itself to the Union troops on the 2d of November. While the Second corps was occupying Snicker's Gap, Pleasanton pushed forward in the direction of Ashby's Gap. At Union village he met a brigade of the ene

e army at the end of October posted on the right bank of the upper Rapaphannock and around Culpeper, where Lee has established his Headquarters. The Union army has not been able to go beyond the line of Warrenton and Warrenton Junction: it occupies Auburn and Catlett's Station. But the cavalry, which is pushed on beyond Bealeton, protects the reconstruction of the railroad as far as this point. Owing to the intelligent direction of Colonel McCallum, this great work is completed on the 2d of November. The fine days of this season, which are called in America the Indian summer, still allow of the making of a short campaign, and it is necessary to take advantage of it. Lee, having destroyed the railroad with great care, does not suspect the promptness with which it has been rebuilt; therefore, he can be taken by surprise. Meade can perform anew, with better chances of success, the manoeuvre which Burnside attempted the preceding year on the same ground. While the enemy's army is enc

ss. The real coast of Texas, with its numerous indentations, is thus almost always enclosed, except at a few points, back of an insuperable wall. It is therefore easy to any one commanding the sea to occupy this wall and with a small force close its passages, the lagoons offering efficient protection to troops posted near any of the passes formed in the banks. Banks' plan, well conceived this time, was to take possession of these passes successively, commencing at the south. On the 2d of November he lands a few troops on the shore of Brazos Island, and establishes himself there without interference on the part of the enemy; he thus commands the channel of Boca Chica. On the following day a disembarkation is effected at the mouth of the Rio Grande in front of Bagdad. The Confederates, who have entirely disarmed Southern Texas to protect Galveston and the eastern part of the State, cannot even make a show of resistance. But, the bar not permitting the large transports to penetra
