and crush out servile insurrections. Some were reported to have offered to return fugitive slaves to their masters. Halleck's order excluding fugitive slaves from the lines of his army came later,—Nov. 20, 1801. The reason given in the order fnment. The President expressed to the writer, Feb. 15, 1812, much impatience at the hesitation of the Senate to confirm Halleck's nomination as major-general on account of this order. As to the military orders and other official action concerning that he himself would come to see that it was a delusion. The third day of the session Sumner called attention to General Halleck's exclusion of fugitive slaves from his camp and lines, and severely condemned it. The same day he took occasion, inhe enemy, awakening the sympathies of mankind, and securing the favor of a benevolent God. The infamous Order No. 3, Halleck's, Nov. 20, 1861. which has been such a scandal to the republic, is rescinded. The slave everywhere can hope. Beginnin

s the author of General Gillmore's appointment. To the Department of the South. . . . There will be no change there until he has had his trial. Hooker was relieved at his own request; but he was led to make the request by a disagreement with Halleck. Meade was the choice of the generals, and also of Hooker himself, and so seems to begin with the confidence of the military men. I am inclined to think him a solid soldier, who understands his business, perhaps of the Wellington type, and wearmust eventually bring him in collision with us. Meanwhile, the war goes on; not as fast as the public expected, but fully as fast as I expected. In the military council which ordered the present attack on Charleston last June, the chairman, General Halleck, doubted the result, but thought there was no harm in trying; the others were confident. 1 do not think success will come early or easy. It is not proposed to move against Mobile until cool weather. The movement of Rosecrans is very impor

An indifference towards him was noted in the commercial centres and among the most intelligent of the loyal people. Lieber to General Halleck, Sept. 1, 1864, in Lieber's Life and Letters, pp. 350, 351. Historians and biographers have hesitated to reveal the state of opinion concerning him, but historical verity loses by the suppression. He was thought to be wanting in the style, in the gravity of manner and conversation, which are becoming in the chief of a nation. His habit of interrupting the consideration of grave matters with stories was attributed to levity, and offended sober-minded men who sought him on public busine

umner. New York Herald, April 16. At the moment of death Sumner was at the head of the bed, by the side of Robert Lincoln. Nicolay and Hay's Life of Lincoln, vol. x. p. 300. As soon as Mr. Lincoln breathed his last, Sumner drove with General Halleck to Mr. Seward's, whose murder had been attempted by another assassin, an accomplice of Booth. He spoke words of consolation to Mrs. Seward, whom he was not to meet again, and then went to his lodgings, which he reached at eight o'clock, finnly two minutes, about two o'clock in the morning. The heart of Mr. Lincoln ceased to beat at twenty-two minutes after seven o'clock in the morning. I left the bedside at once, and going to the door in the gray of a drizzling morning found General Halleck just getting into his carriage, which had been within call all night. I got in with him, and asked him to set me down at Mr. Seward's. He said that he must first stop at Mr. Johnson's. Here the general went in to tell the new President that
