d not then know how weakly the place had been defended by the officer to whom Beauregard had intrusted its defense. Though the main body of the army with which Curtis had defeated Van Dorn at Elkhorn was still dragging itself slowly over the mountains, or floundering through the swamps of Arkansas, it, too, sent reenforceents t in command of all the troops west of the Tennessee, including those at Columbus and Cairo; ordering him, however, to send Hovey's division to Helena to reenforce Curtis, and Thomas into middle Tennessee to rejoin Buell. As soon as Beauregard, whose health had been seriously impaired, was satisfied that Halleck did not intend t good fortune-Philip H. Sheridan. At the beginning of 1862 he was still but a captain of infantry, on duty as quartermaster and commissary of the army with which Curtis was marching against Price in Missouri. He had come to Corinth with Halleck, and was still doing duty there as quartermaster when, on the 25th of May, he was mad

The Tribune's overture the Albany evening Journal's the Philadelphis meeting Mayor Henry Judge Woodward George W. Curtis suppressed. in one of Beaumarchais's comedies, a green reveler in every advantage and luxury that noble birth and say or do, aught calculated to displease said slaveholders or offend the Slave Power, was promptly demonstrated.

Under these circumstances, I cannot permit th

A long-haired, raving Abolitionist in the furthest North, according to conservative ideas, not merely disturbed the equilibrium of Southern society, but undermined the fabric of our National prosperity. He must be squelched, See Mayor Henry's speech; also his letter forbidding G. W. Curtis's lecture, pages 363-7. or there could be no further Union.

ise, and without envy of those who were more fortunate. What is called odium artisticum was unknown to him. He was an unpretending, courteous American gentleman. His disposition was perfect, and no one could remember having seen him out of temper. His pleasant flow of wit and humor, together with his varied accomplishments, made him a very brilliant man in society, and he counted among his friends the finest literati in Rome, London, and the United States. He knew Thackeray as he knew Curtis and Lowell, and was once dining with him in a London chop-house, when Thackeray said: Have you read the last number of The Newcombs?-if not, I will read it to you. Accordingly he gave the waiter a shilling to obtain the document, and read it aloud to Cranch and a friend who was with him. Both mentioned in Hawthorne's Notebook. Cranch could never understand this, for it was the last thing he would have done himself without an invitation; but he enjoyed the reading, and often referred to

eems impossible to convince politicians that it is not visionary to be guided by correct principles in the administration of affairs. Their idea is, the greater the indirectness and the double dealing, the greater the statesmanship. Yet, all the time, they make loud professions of following the teaching of him who said, Let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay. Oh, Sarah, I am so tired of shams! It is very inconvenient to be habitually direct, in such a world of indirectness. I pitied Mr. Curtis when I read his patient answers to the interviewers. Really, those men, who have made a profession of audacity and impertinence, are as insufferable a nuisance as mosquitoes; and in these days there is no kind of netting that will keep the pests out. Certainly the prophesied day has arrived, when whatsoever is done in the house is proclaimed upon the house-top. Was Dr. Livingstone really interviewed by a Yankee interviewer? Why don't we hear further from him? What has become of the pa

To John G. Whittier. Wayland, June 18, 1874. I cannot help writing to thank you for the Lines you have written to the memory of Charles Sumner. They are very beautiful, and nothing could be more appropriate. We went into Boston to hear Mr. Curtis's Memorial Address. I had been longing, amid all the fuss and formality, to hear just the right thing said about Mr. Sumner, and Mr. Curtis said it, and said it eloquently, from the heart. . . . Corruption is so widespread and so rampant, thatMr. Curtis said it, and said it eloquently, from the heart. . . . Corruption is so widespread and so rampant, that I sometimes have gloomy forebodings concerning the future of this country; but the spontaneous and general homage to Charles Sumner's memory shows that there is still great respect for integrity deeply rooted in the popular mind. I was reading over several of your poems last week, and for the thousandth time I felt myself consoled and strengthened by them, as well as delighted with their poetic beauty. It was a very precious gift you received, dear friend, to be such a benefactor to the sou
