e petty ambitions and jealousies which had existed through the war vanished. The Army of the Potomac had advanced from the Rapidan towards Richmond on the 3d of May, and, after six weeks of daily fighting, driven Lee and the rebel army of Virginia within the fortifications of Richmond. Grant had crossed the James River, and, practically, laid siege to Richmond and Petersburg,—aided by the Army of the James, under the command of Major-General Butler. In the mean time, Sherman, with his Army of the Tennessee and the Cumberland, had advanced towards Atlanta, and taken it, and was preparing for his grand march to the sea, through the State of Georgia to Savannah. The wisdom of General Grant's plan of the war is seen in this: that, by pressing the rebel forces under General Lee, and keeping them in daily activity, he made it impossible for the latter to spare enough of his force to prevent the advance of Sherman. Thus stood the loyal and the rebel forces on the 1st of July, 1864

night of the twenty-fourth at White Sulphur, we reached Meadow Bluffs on the twenty-fifth, without incident, save the great need of rations, which began to be felt so pressingly in the ranks. On the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh the march continued; on the latter day the command meeting wagons with abundant rations. Once more rest and quiet await us, and in a short time the army will be ready for another expedition, with, let us hope, better auspices. Another account. Gauley, July 1, 1864. I have before me some accounts of our Lynch-burgh expedition, taken from late Lynchburg papers, which abound with the usual amount of truth that is found in rebel papers. And just here let me note the fact, that the staunchest rebels we met everywhere on our raid, confessed that they did not and could not know the truth in regard to the success or failure of any movements. Their papers dared not tell it, and the people all knew this to be the case. After a highly mythical account

ive the right to a summary treatment of the question. He said, Nothing against slavery can be unconstitutional,—a phrase which showed his disposition to treat morally rather than judicially legal and constitutional questions. Sumner moved, July 1, 1864, the adoption of the Proclamation of Emancipation as a statute, proposing it as an amendment to the reconstruction bill; but it was lost. (Works, vol. IX. pp. 47-50.) He had already reported his proposed amendment as a bill. He said in debatse, he will come in the first class of all who have written the English language. He had not the grand style, but who has had a delicacy of touch superior to his? Josiah Quincy, president of Harvard College when Sumner was a student, died July 1, 1864, at the age of ninety-two. He was the friend of Sumner's father, and followed the son's career with constant interest. His eldest daughter, in communicating his death, wrote: He was very fond of you, and took the greatest interest in your su

It was mustered out July 28, 1865.
