of September 30th and October 1st--known as the Battles of the Jones House, in which the enemy again lost heavily in prisoners General Cadmus Wilcox in his report says the enemy's loss on September 30th was over 350 killed and about 2,000 prisoners. On October 1st, in his front, the Federal line was captured with 300 prisoners. My entire loss, he adds, was 285; of this number only 59 were killed. In Heth's brigades it was probably less. --Transactions of Southern Historical Society, April, 1875. Swinton (A. P., p. 539.) puts the Federal loss above twenty-five hundred. --after which succeeded a period of quiet, broken by several minor affairs brought on by continuous extension of the Federal left. The Presidential election in the North was now near at hand, Mr. Edward Lee Childe, usually well-informed, makes a curious blunder on this point. He says: Grant y tenait d'autant plus que l'election presidentielle approchait, et que ses chances comme candidat augmenterait si le su

75 when he wrote the letter from which I have quoted, he claims that neither he, nor his divisions reached General Lee until 8 o'clock A. M. In his book, published twenty years later, he claims that he reported at General Lee's headquarters before day, the stars were shining brightly, and that his two divisions reached the front at sunrise, say at 4:35 A. M. The preponderance of contemporaneous evidences goes to prove that General Longstreet accurately described the facts in his letter of April, 1875; the star-light scene, with which chapter XXVII of his book opens is too finely drawn for Old Pete, (rather early you know), and its accuracy is not visible to the naked eye. The war record of General Longstreet was a brilliant one. That he should have made mistakes was but natural and inevitable; but these did not serve to make his case an exception; and such was the story of his heroic achievements, they could not mar its brilliancy.

Could this have been done it would doubtless have proved beneficial to both. Brother Herdmann returned to his home in New York, and a few years later died there. Rev. John F. Brant was the next to serve us as pastor, coming in April, 1875. He was from Ohio, unmarried, and just completing his studies at the university. He remained with us one year and did good work. During the summer he visited his Western home, and then was inaugurated the union vacation service with the Congregational Church, which was continued until the last summer. This proved helpful in various ways, removing some prejudices that needlessly existed. Up to the close of Brother Brant's ministry with us seven more had joined us, making our membershi
