d all Grant's assaults with heavy loss, and held him there until he could throw his army in front of him and between him and the capital. This was a masterly performance, and renders it necessary for Grant to give us battle here or make a further detour to the right. There is but one road on the right between Spotsylvania Court House and the Mattaponi by which he can move; that is known as the Telegraph road, and leads directly from Fredericksburg to Richmond, crossing the North Anna, south Anna and Little river, a few miles above the point where they unite and form the Pamunkey. East of the Mattaponi is another road which passes through Bowling Green, but if Grant should move by that he would find it necessary to cross three considerable streams, the Mattaponi, Pamunkey, and Chickahominy. The importance of these observations will be apparent to the reader upon the inspection of a good map. The distance from the Court-House to the Telegraph road is about eight miles, and to Frederi

The young soldier's tears were his answer, and Miss Anna, summoning all her strength, attempted to smile. Nothing could be more heart-rending to see the agony of this brave girl, struggling in the embrace of death and against a terrible mortal pang. Gov. Pickens, whose courage is known, was almost without consciousness, and Mrs. Pickens looked upon her child with the dry and haggard eye of one whose reason totters. Lieut. de Rockelle was the first to speak. "Anna," he cried, "I will die soon, too, but I would have you die my wife. There is yet time to unite us" The young girl did not reply; she was too weak. A slight flush rose for an instant to her pale check; it could be seen that joy and pain were struggling in her spirit for the mastery. Lying upon a stoa, her bridal dres

Curious historical fact. --During the troubles in the reign of Charles I. a country girl came to London in search of a place as a servant maid, but not succeeding, she hired herself to carry out beer from a warehouse, and was one of those called tub women. The brewer observing a good-looking girl in this low occupation, took her in his family as a servant, and after a short time married her. He died while she was a young woman, and left her the bulk of his fortune. The business of brewing dropped, and Mr. Hyde was recommended to the young woman as a skillful lawyer to arrange her husband's affairs. Hyde, who was afterwards Earl of Clarendon, finding the widow's fortune considerable, married her. By this marriage there was no other issue than a daughter, who was afterwards the wife of James H. and mother of Mary and Anna, Queen of England.
