that my conduct at Spring Hill, on the 29th of November, 1864, or during the night of that day, was the subject of criticism, was the receipt of a note from General Hood, written and received on the morning of the 3d of December. This is the communication referred to in the letter of Governor Harris, above quoted. This note was read, so far as I know, by only four persons besides myself — my chief-of-staff, James D. Porter, Governor Isham G. Harris, Major J. F. Cumming, of Georgia, and John C. Burch. Not having been in the habit of carrying a certificate of military character, I attached no special value to the paper, and it was lost somewhere during the campaign in North Carolina. Governor Porter and Major Cumming agree with me that the following was the substance of the note: December 3d, 1864. my dear General: I do not censure you for the failure at Spring Hill. I am satisfied you are not responsible for it. I witnessed the splendid manner in which you delivered battle

Those holding extreme anti-slavery views were excluded. Mr. Pennington shared in the feeling throughout the Free-labor States, .that conciliation was desirable; and that every concession, consistent with right, should be made to the malcontents. and it became the recipient, by reference, of a large number of resolutions,

proposing an amendment to the Constitution, whereby any further amendment, giving Congress power over Slavery in the States, was forbidden. By a portion of the Committee the report was considered too yielding, and two minority reports were submitted. One by Messrs. Washburne and Tappan declared that, in view of the rebellion then in progress, no concessions should be made; and then they submitted, as a distinct proposition, Senator Clark's substitute for Crittenden's plan. Another, by Messrs. Burch and Stout, proposed a convention of the States to amend the Constitution. A proposition was also made to substitute the Crittenden Compromise for Corwin's report. Albert Rust, of Arkansas, offered in the Senate a proposition, substantially the same as Crittenden's, as the ultimatum of the South; and Henry Winter Davis, of Maryland, proposed a resolution to request the several States to revise their statutes, to ascertain whether any of them were in conflict with the Fugitive Slave Act,

n the field did not exceed ten thousand men, while, from what I saw of the enemy's force, and from information derived from prisoners, we are sure he had from thirty thousand to forty thousand on the field. I must acknowledge my obligations to Major Gilmer, engineer, for the especial and valuable services rendered me in laying off the works, and the energy displayed by him in superintending their construction, and for his counsel and advice. I likewise acknowledge my obligations to Col. John C. Burch, my aid-de-camp, to Capt. Gus. A. Henry, Major Field, Lieut. Nicholson, Lieut. Chas. F. Martin, and Col. Brandon, my volunteer aid-de-camp; to Major Hays, my Assistant Commissary; Major Jones, my Assistant Quartermaster, for the prompt manner in which they executed my orders under trying circumstances throughout the long and continued conflicts; and to Major Gilmer, who accompanied me throughout the entire day. Also, to Capt. Parker of my staff, whom I assigned to the command of Capt.

l William M. McIntosh in command,) by order of Brigadier-General Toombs, occupied the intrenchments on the north side of theNine-mile road, near Price's house, and remained in that position until about six o'clock P. M. of the twenty-seventh of June, when, by order of General Toombs, the regiment moved to the front near three fourths of a mile, took position at the edge of a field some two hundred yards to the left of a brick house, known as James Garnett's house, sent two companies, Captain John C. Burch, company F, and Captain Stephen Z. Heansberger, company G, as skirmishers, to support the pickets of the Second Georgia, and feel the enemy. In a few minutes the firing on both sides became brisk. Soon the enemy's line was reenforced, and General Toombs ordered Colonel McIntosh, with the balance of this command, to the support of the skirmishers. We crossed the field at double-quick, under a most galling fire from the opposite side of a deep ravine, just beyond which our skirmishe

lameless for the failure at Spring Hill; and on the day following the battle of Franklin I was informed by General Hood that he had addressed a note to General Cheatham assuring him that he did not censure him with the failure to attack. Very respectfully, Isham G. Harris. Memphis, Tenn., May 20, 1877. The communication referred to in the letter of Governor Harris was received by General Cheatham, and was read by Governor Harris, General Porter, Major Cummins, of Georgia, and Colonel John C. Burch; but General Cheatham, as he says, not having been in the habit of carrying a certificate of military character, attached no special value to the paper, and lost it during the campaign in North Carolina. The story of his military career is yet to be written, and this Commonwealth of Tennessee will have no brighter page in its history. I must write briefly of the close of the great chieftain's life.

s, with their opinion endorsed thereon, through the Brigadier General superintending this Bureau. Some manufacturers refuse to sell their goods for money, and demand of the families of soldiers that they shall pay for their goods with provisions. This will be regarded as a violation of the privilege of exemption, it being a disingenuous shift to obtain exorbitant rates and larger profits than the law allows. They must sell their goods for money. They must amoney price, and if they will not sell for this must cease to manufacture. Confederate money is the currency of the country, and the refusal of it will be treated as a forfeiture of exemption. If citizens willingly barter supplies it is not objected to. The attention of all officers of the Bureau is called to this order. They will likewise receive proofs and forward the same in all other cases where citizens charge a forfeiture of exemption.
