s was an almost strictly party vote. Only two Republicans (Cary of Ohio, and Stewart of New York) voted in the negative, while all the Democrats voted against the resolution. Resolved that Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, be impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors. We have seen (page 617) that the subject of the impeachment of the President was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. That Committee submitted reports, Nov. 25, 1867. which were acted upon on the 7th of December, when the House of Representatives, taking into consideration the gravity of such a proceeding, and indulging a hope that the President would cease making war upon Congress, and attend to his legitimate duties as simply the executor of the people's will, expressed by their representatives, refused, by a large majority, to entertain a proposition for impeachment. Now, so flagrant was the act of the President, that the Republican members were eager to place him upon trial, and several wh

Rogers' Mill, Dec. 7. near Glasgow, Potosi, Lexington, Mount Zion, Dec. 28. near Sturgeon, and some other points, at which the preponderance of advantage was generally on the side of the Unionists.

Impressed with the peril of Blunt, he rested his men but an hour or so before putting his column again in motion, and had proceeded but 5 or 6 miles when his advance was met by the 1st Arkansas and 7th Missouri (Union) cavalry, being a part of

paroled and sent home, had fifty of the caitiffs dressed up III ridiculous night-caps, Nov. 28. and thus paraded, before their jeering comrades, through Nashville, to the music of the Rogue's March; after which, they were forwarded to the parole camp in Indiana. The lesson did not require repetition. Gen. Thomas having thrown forward on our left a brigade — nearly 2,000 strong — to Hartsville, its command fell to Col. A. B. Moore, 104th Illinois, who allowed himself to be surprised Dec. 7. by Morgan, at the lead of 1,500 cavalry and mounted infantry, and most disgracefully captured; though the residue of Gen. Dumont's division was at Castilian Springs, only nine miles distant. Moore had neglected to fortify or even intrench himself; his ved<*>ttes were surprised and picked up; Morgan advanced on him at 7 A.

Hazen had a skirmish here with a regiment of cavalry, which was easily driven; but the roadless swamps were vanquished with more difficulty. Wood threw Dec. 6-7. over the Ogeechee, by a foot-bridge, Williamson's brigade, which moved down the left bank; while Corse crossed his division on pontoons at Jenks's bridge, some distance below; Rice's brigade, in advance, having a smart skirmish with a Rebel battalt such a fort with our 6,000 men. Butler, disappointed, now ran close up in his vessel, reconnoitered for himself, and reluctantly acquiesced in Weitzel's decision. Our men, of whom about half had been landed, were thereupon reembarked; Dec. 26-7. and Gen. Butler returned with the land force to the James, leaving the fleet still off Wilmington. Our loss in this bombardment was about fifty killed and wounded--nearly or quite all by the bursting of six of our heavy Parrott guns — the enemy

d as the mainland. The animals here are snakes, toads, birds, raccoons, pigs, and, it is said, alligators. The New London, with four long thirty-twos and one rifled cannon, appears to be, under her present commander, a very effective and well-managed craft, giving the enemy much annoyance. The enemy's gunboats are of light draught, armed with rifled guns, and it is folly to allow them such an advantage. With such an advantage on our side we could make ourselves felt in this quarter. December 7-2 P. M. The Constitution has been discharged, and will sail before dark.

Doc. 216. the Confederate flag. The Richmond Dispatch of the 7th of December held the following language on the subject of the rebel flag: The adoption of our present flag was a natural, but most pernicious blunder. As the old flag itself was not the author of our wrongs, we tore off a piece of the dear old rag and set it up as a standard. We took it for granted a flag was a divisible thing, and proceeded to set off our proportion. So we took, at a rough calculation, our share of the stars and our fraction of the stripes, and put them together and called them the Confederate flag. Even as Aaron of old put the gold into the fire and then came out this calf, so certain stars and stripes went into committee, and then came out this flag. All this was honest and fair to a fault. We were clearly entitled to from seven to eleven of the stars, and three or four of the stripes. Indeed, as we were maintaining the principles it was intended to represent, and the North had aband

ithin an hour when he would be ready to start. See Appendix No. 106. It will thus be seen that Admiral Porter promised to notify me on the morning of the 7th of December. I had to make all my arrangements by verbal instructions and orders. On the 6th of December I issued, through my chief of staff, Brigadier-General Turner, ed to make, and to blow out Dutch Gap Canal. See Appendix No. 108. I answered at once that orders had been given to carry out these instructions. On the 7th of December my chief of staff received a telegram from my quartermaster, Colonel Dodge, that he could furnish certain meagre transportation. See Appendix No. 109. Thiso. 110. That fact I knew because the Baltic had reported to me at Annapolis with released prisoners. Receiving information from Colonel Dodge in the evening of December 7, that he was now fully prepared to ship the troops, I telegraphed General Grant that General Weitzel's command was encamped at Signal Tower awaiting orders, and

Grant, Commanding armies of the United States: General:--On the 7th of December last, in obedience to your orders, I moved a force of about sixty-five hundred efficient men, consisting of General Ames' division of the Twenty-Fourth Corps, and General Paine's division of the Twenty-Fifth Corps, under command of Major-General Weitzel, to an encampment near Bermuda. On the 8th the troops embarked for Fortress Monroe. On the 9th, Friday, I reported to Rear-Admiral Porter that the army portion of the conjoint expedition directed against Wilmington was ready to pro

trains. Granger was present at our conversation, and most unreasonably, I thought, remonstrated against being left; complaining bitterly of what lie thought was hard treatment to his men and himself. I know that his language and manner at that time produced on my mind a bad impression, and it was one of the causes which led me to relieve him as a corps commander in the campaign of the next spring. I asked General Blurnside to reduce his wishes to writing, which he did in the letter of December 7th, embodied in my official report. General Burnside and I then walked along his lines and examined the salient, known as Fort Sanders, where, some days before, Longstreet had made his assault, and had sustained a bloody repulse. Returning to Burnside's quarters, we all sat down to a good dinner, embracing roast-turkey. There was a regular diningtable, with clean table-cloth, dishes, knives, forks, spoons, etc., etc. I had seen nothing of this kind in my field experience, and could not

es north of Van Buren, to which point the latter had retreated after the action of the twenty-eighth of November. The united rebel force was believed to be very much greater than our own, two divisions of which were more than one hundred miles in the rear. Immediately upon learning General Blunt's danger from an overwhelming attack of the enemy, General Herron, by forced marches of one hundred and ten miles in three days, arrived at Fayetteville, Arkansas, early on the morning of the seventh December, and soon after encountered the enemy in force at Prairie Grove, while attempting a flank movement to get between Blunt and the approaching succor, to crush them both in succession. This skilfully devised project was fortunately frustrated by the valor and endurance of Herron's division, which stoutly held their ground till about two o'clock in the afternoon. When Blunt's forces arrived upon the field, the engagement became general along the entire line, and continued to be fiercely
