to remain in Virginia and march north on the right flank of the two corps that were with Lee, or to move into Pennsylvania and join Ewell on the Susquehanna. It merely advised General Ewell, who had been authorized to move towards the Susquehanna, that Stuart would be on his right and in communication with him during his march, and not after he reached the Susquehanna. When on June 22nd, Ewell was authorized to move towards the Susquehanna he was in Maryland, opposite Shepherdstown, and Anderson's division of Hill's corps was to be at Shepherdstown the next day—which would relieve Early's division and enable Ewell to move his whole corps into Pennsylvania, with Jenkins' cavalry in advance and Imboden on his left. If Hooker was moving northward, Stuart was to cross the Potomac with three brigades of his cavalry, take position on Ewell's right, place himself in communication with him, guard his flanks, etc., and he was also to take charge of Jenkins' brigade.

e Civil War, this command, then known as Grimes' battery, its name having been changed on the 20th of July, 1861, was known throughout the Confederate army as a fighting organization. It was common knowledge that Grimes' battery never shirked a duty or shrunk from obeying an order because the execution thereof was attended with danger, for the courage of its officers and men was proverbial bordering even upon rashness, and on numerous occasions the battery received the commendation of General Anderson, to whose division it was attached. The battery served in the following engagements of the Civil War: Hofflers Creek, April 23, 1862; Pasquotank River, May 2, 1862; Seven Days Fight, June 26, 1862; Malvern Hill, July I, 1862; Warrenton Springs, August 26, 1862; Second Manassas, August 30, 1862; Crampton Gap, September 14, 1862; Sharpsburg, September 17, 1862. In this last battle Captain Grimes was killed, and after this, horses becoming scarce, Grimes' battery was merged into Huger'

Hatcher's Run. Between this line and the fortified line at Burgess' Mill, held by Lieutenant-General R. H. Anderson, with Johnson's division, was a gap of several miles in width, only picketed by Roith the body of the army. It had happened that Fitz Lee, during the day, notified Lieutenant-General R. H. Anderson, who was at Burgess' Mill with Johnson's division, that the Fifth Corps was with Sheridan, and that Sheridan, now with overwhelming force, was pressing upon him. Anderson, in person, with Wise's and Gracie's brigades, moved to his relief, but as Warren had already crossed the Whits report) had sent Miles' division around on that road to confront the forces at Burgess' Mill, Anderson made a circuit around Miles and Warren, reached the neighborhood after Fitz Lee and Pickett hadHill's corps, under the command of Brigadier-General R.

der arms, after which the writer started to run the gauntlet of death and cut his way out, if possible. I got about fifty yards and cleared the men when, as General Anderson, who commanded the Pennsylvania reserves we were fighting afterwards told me, three thousand shots were fired at me, all at once. One of the first struck removing the wounded. The enemy treated me with great consideration and kindness. I was the ranking living officer of the brigade they had to deal with. General Anderson (I think that was the officer's name), who commanded the Pennsylvania reserves, whom we fought, had me carried on a stretcher to his headquarters, administeriled one of my own men, slightly wounded, to wait on me. On my arrival at the wharf, while waiting, my three officers—Captain Stratton, Lieutenant Reid, and Lieutenant Anderson (under gurad), found me in the wagon. I made one of the Sanitary Commission, constantly passing, dispensing every known delicacy to eat and to drink to the

Treachery of W. H. Seward brought fire on Sumter. Details of his correspondence with Judge Campbell showed clear design to deceive Southern leaders By L. W. Wise. Of course, when the Confederate authorities found out how they had been treated and the bad faith which had been practiced towards them, they had no other alternative left but to open fire on the fort unless Major Anderson would agree peaceably to evacuate it. To give him a chance to do so, the Confederates opened negotiations with him. All they could get from him on April 11, was that he would evacuate it at noon on the 15th, which was then several days off. But he added this proviso: Should I not receive, prior to that time, controlling instructions from my government or additional supplies. As the additional supplies were then on the way to him, the Confederates then notified him that fire would be opened on Fort Sumter in one hour, which was done early on the morning of April 12. The Confederates were none
