this thing on en grand and crush the rebels in one campaign. I flatter myself that Beauregard has gained his last victory. We need success and must have it. I will leave nothing undone to gain it. Gen. Scott has been trying to work a traverse to have — made inspector-general of my army and of the army. I respectfully declined the favor. . . . I have on the staff Seth Williams as adjutant-general; Barnard as chief-engineer; Van Vliet, chief-quartermaster; H. F. Clarke, chief-commissary; Barry, chief of artillery; Meade will be senior topographer; Dr. Tripler, medical director. I have applied for Kingsbury as chief of ordnance, and for Armstrong and Sweitzer as aides-de-camp. I dine with the President to-morrow, where I presume I shall meet Prince Napoleon. . . . You would laugh if you could see the scores of queer letters I receive in these days. I am sorry to say I do not answer any of them; I do no writing myself, except to you. . . .

Barry, chief of artillery, whose industry and zeal achieved the best results The following princiates, that they made rapid progress and attained a degree of proficiency highly creditable. Gen. Barry served as chief of artillery with the Army of the Potomac until the close of the Peninsular caby Col. H. J. Hunt, who gave up the command only when appointed chief of artillery in place of Gen.

t again. . . . The President is honest and means well. As I parted from him on Seward's steps he said that it had been suggested to him that it was no more safe for me than for him to walk out at night without some attendant. I told him that I felt no fear; that no one would take the trouble to interfere with me. On which he deigned to remark that they would probably give more for my scalp at Richmond than for his. . . . Nov. .--. . . Went to the Prince de Joinville's, where I found Barry, Dahlgren, and the family. If it would at all comfort you I might do what I have never done — carry a pistol in my pocket, especially as I received two days since a lamb-like present of four revolvers of different sizes, bringing my private armory up to something like eleven pistols of various dimensions. What more can be asked of any one? Nov. .--Some infatuated individual sent me, a day or two ago, a McClellan Polka. What in the world did he expect me to do with it? Not to whist

I should therefore be glad to have disposable at Fortress Monroe: I.1st. 2010-inch mortars complete.  2d. 208-inch mortars complete. II.208-inch siege-howitzers. III.204 1/2-inch wrought-iron siege-guns. IV.4020-pounder Parrotts. V.-24-pounder siege-guns. The 24-pounder Parrotts with the batteries will, of course, be counted as available. I do not know the number of 4 1/2-inch guns available; if not so many as I have indicated, something else should be substituted. I wish Gen. Barry and Col. Kingsbury to consult with Gen. Marcy, to make such suggestions as occur to them, and ascertain at once to what extent this memorandum can be filled. It is possible we cannot count upon the navy to reduce Yorktown by their independent efforts; me must therefore be prepared to do it by our own means. There are said to be at Yorktown from 27 to 32 heavy guns, at Gloucester 14 Columbiads. The probable armament of Yorktown, when exterior guns are drawn in, will be from 40 to 50 heav
