esolved on trying an active campaign with his company, then at Tampa Bay. Fortunately for him, it occurred about this time that his brotherin-law, Commodore Alexander James Dallas, was placed in command of the West India squadron. By special permission of the war department, Lieutenant Meade was authorized to accept the commome, and January 6, 1836, found the Constellation back again at Havana, where this most interesting and enjoyable cruise came to an end, for it was there that Commodore Dallas heard of the massacre of Major Dade and his command. This was the beginning of the Florida War. On the day following the receipt of this intelligence ComCommodore Dallas sailed for Key West, and upon his arrival there detached the marines belonging to his own ship and those of the Saint Louis, which sailed in company with him, to reinforce the garrison at Fort Brooke, Tampa Bay, then supposed to be besieged.

nization of the First Corps; and as I had for a time commanded the corps, and also a division in it, I was honored with an invitation. The dinner was given by the staff. This evening Captain Magaw, of the navy, with his mother, wife and a young lady friend, made their appearance at headquarters, and asked hospitality. He commands the gun-boat flotilla in the Potomac. His wife is quite a sweet, pretty woman, is the daughter of a navy officer, and was born at Pensacola when my sister, Mrs. Dallas, was there, and is named after her and Margaret.

face Sherman and us. Headquarters army of the Potomac, Burksville, Va., April 13, 1865. Yesterday, as soon as I reached here, where there is a telegraph, I telegraphed to City Point to enquire about Willie, Brother of Mrs. Meade. and received a reply from the medical officer in charge of the hospital that Willie had left the day before for Washington, doing well, the ball having been extracted. You can therefore imagine how shocked I was about midnight to get a despatch from Sandy Dallas, at Washington, stating Willie had died on the passage. I presume he must have died of hemorrhage, or some of those secondary causes that suddenly occur in gun-shot wounds. What a dreadful shock for his poor wife and your mother, and how it will mar the exultation of our recent victories!
