ri, and other subjects.--Editors. In a few days the missing link was supplied by a surprising occurrence. A refugee came into General W. W. Burns's lines from Leesburg, with a vague and utterly groundless story of mysterious flags of truce and of how much the Confederates thought of their friend Stone. General McClellan informed General Stone that he had last seen the written statement at the War Office on the 8th of February, 1862. I saw it at his headquarters in Washington in September, 1862, in a wardrobe full of papers turned over to me when I, as Acting Assistant Adjutant-General, was detached to prevent the tail of the army from being again cut off, and it was among a double handful which I delivered back to General Seth Williams after Antietam. I suggest that the name of this refugee, and all the facts regarding him, and all the statements made by him, will probably turn up in the archives of the Secret service. I know the man was turned over to Colonel E. J. Allen (

Washington under Banks. by Richard B. Irwin, Lieutenant-Colonel and Assistant Adjutant-General, U. S. V. Heintzelman's headquarters at Alexandria. From a sketch made September 3, 1862.The 27th and 28th [of August], writes General F. A. Walker, in his admirable History of the Second Army Corps, were almost days of panic in Washington. These words mildly indicate the state into which affairs had fallen at the close of August and the opening of September, 1862, on the heels of General Pope's defeat in the Second Bull Run. Yet Washington was defended by not less than 110,000 men; for, in addition to the army which Pope was bringing back, beaten certainly, but by no means destroyed, there stood before the lines of Washington not less than 40,000 veterans who had not fired a shot in this campaign., and behind the lines 30,000 good men of the garrisons and the reserves of whom at least two-thirds were veterans in discipline, though all were untried in battle. As General McClella

A woman's recollections of Antietam. by Mary Bedinger Mitchell. In the Wake of battle.September, 1862, was in the skies of tile almanac, but August still reigned in ours; it was hot and dusty. The railroads in the Shenandoah Valley had been torn up, the bridges had been destroyed, communication had been made difficult, and Shepherdstown, cornered by the bend of the Potomac, lay as if forgotten in the bottom of somebody's pocket. We were without news or knowledge, except when some chance traveler would repeat the last wild and uncertain rumor that he had heard. We had passed an exciting summer. Winchester had changed hands more than once; we had been in the Confederacy and out of it again, and were now waiting, in an exasperating state of ignorance and suspense, for the next move in the great game. It was a saying with us that Shepherdstown was just nine miles from every-where. It was, in fact, about that distance from Martinsburg and Harper's Ferry — oft-mentioned name

lton states boldly, to use his own expression, that he, with a force of not more than 2800 men, met and conquered a rebel force of 11,000 on a field chosen by Price. General Grant, in his report of the battle written a month afterward, discards these exaggerations of Rosecrans and Hamilton. The battle of Iuka. by C. S. Hamilton, Major-General, U. S. V. Iuka is a little village on the Memphis and Charleston railway, in northern Mississippi, about thirty miles east of Corinth. In September, 1862, the Confederate authorities,to prevent reenforcements being sent by the Federal commander in Mississippi to Buell in Kentucky, sent General Sterling Price with his army corps to Iuka. A regiment of Union troops stationed at Iuka evacuated the place, leaving a considerable quantity of army stores, as also quite an amount of cotton. The latter was destroyed, the former made use of, and Price settled down, apparently at his leisure, under the nose of Grant's force, Whose headquarters we
