re of Wilmington, N. C. firing national salutes. additional reports of officers. operations after capture of Fort Fisher. Confederate gun-boats and their movements in James River. Miscellaneous operations of North Atlantic Squadron, from October, 1864, to April, 1865. The reader can imagine the disappointment in the North when the failure to take Fort Fisher was announced, and the numerous reports that were flying about must have considerably mystified the public. One said the whole excinity; so they quietly dispersed, and all that portion of the Confederacy fell permanently into the hands of the Unionists. But for the unfortunate sinking of the Otsego and the Bazley, all the operations of the North Atlantic squadron from October, 1864, to April, 1865, would have been crowned with success. Although the area of operations in and around Plymouth was not a large one, what thrilling incidents had occurred in that small space! First: the capture and fortification of Plymouth

The enemy had seven pieces of artillery against the gun-boat's four. On the 4th of November the light-draft gun-boats Towah, Key West and Elfin had a severe engagement with the enemy, lasting several hours, when Acting-Volunteer-Lieutenant E. M. King,

ress! The case of the Tuscaloosa, already mentioned, is too glaring to need discussion. Towards the close of the civil war the Confederate Navy List must have presented a curious aspect, for one day a vessel would figure as a blockade-runner under the British flag, and the next she was a Confederate cruiser; but, strange to say, the British colonial courts could not find any law for interfering with such vessels. The blockade-runner Edith escaped from Wilmington, N. C., one night in October, 1864, under the name of the Confederate States steamer Chickamauga. She was armed with a 64-pounder and a 32-pounder, and steering north along the coast destroyed several unfortunate vessels; when, her whereabouts becoming known, she was compelled to run the gauntlet into Wilmington again, and resumed her former character. What particular object it was proposed to accomplish by such proceedings as those of the Chickamauga is hard to conceive, for at that stage of the civil war a cruise agai

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my name, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this [L.

On the abstract question of the right of the Government to proclaim and enforce Emancipation, Edward Everett, in a speech in Faneuil Hall, Boston, October, 1864, forcibly said: It is very doubtful whether any act of the Government of the United States was necessary to liberate tie slaves in a State which is in rebellion. There is much reason for the opinion that, by tile simple act of levying war against the United States, tile relation of Slavery was terminated; certainly, so far as concerns the duty of the United States to recognize it, or to refrain from interfering with it. Not being founded on the law of nature, and resting solely on p

Chapter 19: Atlanta and after — pursuit of Hood. September and October, 1864. By the middle of September, matters and things had settled down in Atlanta, so that we felt perfectly at home. The telegraph and railroads were repaired, and we had uninterrupted communication to the rear. The trains arrived with regularity and dispatch, and brought us ample supplies. General Wheeler had been driven out of Middle Tennessee, escaping south across the Tennessee River at Bainbridge; and things looked as though we were to have a period of repose. One day, two citizens, Messrs. Hill and Foster, came into our lines at Decatur, and were sent to my headquarters. They represented themselves as former members of Congress, and particular friends of my brother John Sherman; that Mr. Hill had a son killed in the rebel army as it fell back before us somewhere near Cassville, and they wanted to obtain the body, having learned from a comrade where it was buried. I gave them permission to go b

ned his gun, And he smiled, as he thought of the laurels won, That yet on his brow would be. The couriers rode when the noontide came, And told of grim lines advancing fast, So the camp was filled with a wild acclaim, And the soldier's heart was kindled with flame As the hurrying squadron passed. But the glen full soon was the place of blood, With the hissing of shot and the clang of steel And men lay dabbled and stained in the wood, Though the soldier's comrades in valor stood Till they made the foemen reel. When the night came down the corses were strewn, And the soft dews fell on the face of the dead; But the soldier's song had changed to a moan, As, faint and pale, where the sad moon shone, He lay with his bleeding head. 'Tis morning again on the tents and the spears, But the soldier's voice is for ever still; There's a form that's missed from the cavaliers, There's a sweet face blurred with bitter tears-- There's a nameless grave on the hill. Camp Chase, Ohio, October, 1864.

ime The photographer with the army Ruins of State Armory, Columbia, 1865 Here are two excellent views in which we see the conditions under which the army photographer worked in the field. The first picture is of Barnard, the Government photographer under Captain O. M. Poe, Chief Engineer of the Military Division of the Mississippi. Barnard was engaged to take photographs of the new Federal fortifications being constructed under Captain Poe's direction at Atlanta, September-October, 1864. Captain Poe found the old Confederate line of defense of too great extent to be held by such a force as Sherman intended to leave as garrison of the town. Consequently, he selected a new line of much shorter development which passed through the northern part of the town, making necessary the destruction of many buildings in that quarter. Barnard is here at work sensitizing his plates in a light-proof tent, making his exposures, and developing immediately within the tent. His chemical

is life in action. They might have been termed the memorial forts. The almost circular entrenchment, strengthened by logs and sandbags and defended by the formidable abatis of tree trunks, was named after Lieutenant-Colonel George W. Meikle, of the Twentieth Indiana Volunteers. From the position shown we are looking directly into Petersburg. Military observers have conceded that the fortifications surrounding Petersburg were the most remarkable of any in the world. Before the end of October, 1864, the Army of the Potomac occupied a formidable cordon of defenses that stretched for more than thirty-two miles, and comprised thirty-six forts and fifty batteries. For years succeeding the war excursions were run from New York and from all parts of the country to this historic ground. It took three days to complete the tour. Then most of the forts were in the condition in which we see them pictured here. A position of complete defense, Fort Meikle The sweeping lines of Fort Se
