ton that they were known among Secessionists in Washington two or three days after his first interview with the President — so he abandoned that movement; intending to make one somewhat different, in the course of a few days. This new movement contemplated a crossing in force at Banks's and at the United States fords, above Fredericksburg; the crossing below being also made, or at least menaced, as originally proposed: and again his preparations were perfected and his army now put Jan. 20, 1863. in motion ; when, at 10 P. M., there burst over it one of the severest and most trying storms ever experienced in that region. Snow, driving sleet, pouring rain, a general breaking up of the roads, hitherto hard and dry, and a chaos of the elements which rendered locomotion impossible and life under the drenching sky scarcely endurable, arrested that advance at its outset, and fixed our army in the mire wherein it for hours wretchedly, sullenly, hopelessly floundered. Daylight exposed

famous by its gallant action at Williamsburg. This one division, also, fought the battle of Bristoe Station, Va., August 27, 1862--one of the preliminary actions at Manassas — the brunt of the fight falling on the Excelsior Brigade, which successfully carried a strong position of the Confederates, but with a loss of forty per cent. The Seventy-third had only 8 officers and 99 men present there; three of these officers were killed. The One Hundred and Sixty-third New York was disbanded January 20, 1863, and the men transferred to the Fourth Excelsior. By this arrangement the depleted ranks of the regiment received a nominal accession of 365 men, of whom about 250 reported for duty. Colonel Brewster commanded the Excelsior Brigade at Gettysburg and during all its subsequent service in the field, leaving Colonel Burns in command of the regiment both in battle and camp. During the campaigns of 1864-5 it fought in Birney's (3d) Division of the Second Corps, the Third Corps having been

The Jersey troops became conspicuous early in the war by reason of the First and Second Jersey Brigades; in fact, any history of the Army of the Potomac would be incomplete and deficient were it without frequent mention

Editors Missouri Democrat: Herewith I inclose you for publication an official communication just received from Colonel Penick, Fifth cavalry, M. S. M., commanding at Independence, that the community may understand and know the kind of foe we have to contend with in Missouri, and whether peace rules supreme within her border. How very pleasant the reflection that in the endurance of all the hardships imposed by our rulers in their attempts to conciliate traitors, upon the loyal inhabitants, that it is a necessity, to enable them hereafter to live in harmony with such demons as those who have perpetrated these outrages.
