The credulous commander of a foreign man-of-war who in 1863 was permitted to go up to the city in a small boat, returne successfully carried on at Charleston throughout the years 1863-64, proved the existence of a wide and practicable channel ars that there were no channel obstructions or torpedoes in 1863 and 1864 that would be expected to prevent or even seriousl ment, it may be conceded that the defense of Fort Sumter in 1863, when the garrison burrowed in the ruins of the work as it ison between the thin-plated and weakly armed iron-clads of 1863 and the powerful men-of-war of more recent type, look upon

Through the Wilderness. by Alexander S. Webb, Brevet Major-General, U. S. A.
In 1861, 1862, and 1863, the Army of the Potomac, under McClellan, Hooker, and Meade, had by constant attrition worn down Lee's command until, in the minds of many officers and men who were actively engaged in the front, there was confidence that Lee would not hold out against our army another year.
On April 9th, 1864, General Grant instructed General Meade that Lee's army would be his objective.
Meade had with him, according to his report of April 30th, 95,952 enlisted men, 3486 officers, and 274 guns.

These three corps had been increased by the consolidation with them of the First and Third corps (see p. 93). Besides causing great dissatisfaction throughout the army, this consolidation, in my opinion, was the indirect cause of much of the confusion in the execution of orders, and in the handling of troops during

Uniform of the Maryland Guard, C. B. A.
During the winter of 1863-64 General Lee's headquarters were near Orange Court House.
They were marked by the same bare simplicity and absence of military form and display which always characterized them.
Three or four tents of ordinary size, situated on the steep hillside, made the winter home of himself and his personal staff.
It was without sentinels or guards.
He used during the winter every exertion for filling up the thin ranks of his army and for obtaining the necessary supplies for his men. There were times in which the situation seemed to be critical in regard to the commissariat.
The supplies of meat were brought mainly from the States south of Virginia, and on some days the Army of Northern Virginia had not more than twenty-four hours rations ahead.
On one occasion the general received by mail an anony
