The 39th Congress — he gives a letter from himself to Major-General Butler, dated the 2d of April, 1864, and containing instrulmore, afterwards constituted the Army of the James, under Butler. Grant also says in the same report: A very consideng extracts from Grant's report show that the armies under Butler and Sigel constituted no part of the force which Mr. Stant not include any loss sustained by the reinforcements from Butler's army, which were at Cold Harbor.

Sheridan and Beast Butler would make suitable commanders for them. Cannons are firing, bells ringing, and flags flying in Baltimore. I could see the firing from Federal Hill.

Parkins says there is great destitution and suffering in the Pen, their food is insufficient, many are in rags and without blankets, and very little wood is furnished for fires. He says that nd colleges, to our charitable institutions, to our counties, cities and streets.
