folded arms, in the historic pose. For two or three weeks his dispatches and letters were all on fire with enthusiastic energy. He appeared to be in a morbid condition of mental exaltation. When he came out of it, he was as genial as ever, as can be seen by the contrast between his official communications and that private letter to General Burnside, written just after the evacuation of Yorktown, which, oddly enough, has found its way into the official records of the war. Letter of May 21st, 1862. My Dear Burn: Your dispatch and kind letter received. I have instructed Seth [Williams] to reply to the official letter, and now acknowledge the kind private note. It always does me good, in the midst of my cares and perplexities, to see your wretched old scrawling. I have terrible troubles to contend with, but have met them with a good heart, like your good old self, and have thus far struggled through successfully. The crisis cannot long be deferred.

ed through the efforts of Lieutenant-Colonel B. C. Butler, with companies formed under the superintendence of Colonel Crocker. The regiment left Albany on the 14th of February, 1862, with 998 rank and file, going to New York, where it encamped on Riker's Island until March 7th, when it went to Washington. Upon its arrival there it was attached to Palmer's Brigade of Casey's Division, and on March 30, 1862 embarked at Alexandria for the Peninsula campaign. The Ninety-third was detailed, May 21, 1862, as a guard at General Headquarters, and was retained on that duty successively by Generals Burnside, Hooker and Meade. The regiment was among the first to reenlist, going home in January, 1864, on the usual thirty days furlough allowed to veteran or reenlisted regiments. After nearly two years service at Army Headquarters, it was ordered on April 19, 1864, to report to General Birney's Division for duty, where it was assigned to Hays's (2d) Brigade.

You will, therefore, destroy it all if necessary to prevent them from getting it. This was sent on the 25th of April,but did not reach Lovell. It was again sent on the 28th, and did not reach him directly, but he did get it on the 7th of May. Randolph renewed the instructions on May 21, 1862.

They also gave information of a large rebel force having returned to a point within three miles of City Point, a party from which they declared had been the perpetrators.

Davies, received orders to move yesterday at seven o'clock. Punctual to the time designated, the line of battle was formed, ten regiments front to occupy the ridge north of Phillips Creek. The line was halted and formed on the first ridge beyond Bridge Creek, and the artillery brought up — a section between each two regiments, on account of the density of the timber. The pickets, who occupied the ridge and slope in advance of the whole front of the line, then opened a brisk fire on the four regiments and the picket line of the enemy concealed in the thick underbrush on Phillips Creek, which they heartily returned. Under the noise which ensued, the infantry line advanced behind the crest of the ridge, formed in line of battle, and the artillery were again brought up. Our whole picket line was then with

The enemy has lost largely; and indeed I should not be surprised if, in killed and wounded, his loss reaches four hundred.

Mcdowell, Commanding Department of Rappahannock. Having some doubts, from the wording of the foregoing orders, as to the extent of my authority over the troops of Gen. McDowell, and as to the time when I might anticipate his arrival, on the 21st of May I sent this despatch to President Lincoln: May 21, 1862, 11 P. M. Your despatch of yesterday respecting our situation and the batteries of Fort Darling was received while I was absent with the advance where I have been all this day. I have communicated personally with Capt. Goldsborough, and by letter with Capt. Smith. The vessels can do nothing without co-operation on land, which I will not be in condition to afford for several days. Circumstances must determine the propriety of a land-attack.

f the Army of the Potomac had returned with General Pope, Dr. Letterman found much difficulty in again organizing it properly. He was successful, however, and the care of the wounded after Antietam marks a distinct advance on anything before this time. During the first year of the Civil War it became evident that many of the forms then in use, especially the report of sick and wounded, were highly defective and unsatisfactory when applied to the new and broader conditions of war; and on May 21, 1862, measures were taken by the surgeon-general to secure much more detailed information in regard to cases of illness and injury, and in respect to other matters of record controlled by the medical department. Some years after the Civil War, however, the mass of records in the surgeon-general's and other offices became so great as to bring about the organization of a record division to take them over and provide for their preservation and care. On these records is founded the national pens
