ir present camps for some weeks, to rest, and receive such supplies as they needed. This pause was advantageous to us too; for it gave time for the arrival of several thousand men of the Army of Tennessee coming along the route through Georgia in detachments, to rejoin their corps. Most of them were united into one body in Augusta, by Lieutenant-General S. D. Lee. Many, indeed the greater number of these veterans, were unarmed; and all the exertions of two excellent officers, Lieutenant-Colonel Kennard, chief ordnance-officer, and Captain Vanderford, his assistant, could not procure infantry arms as fast as they were required, the Ordnance Department And yet at this time the Confederate Government was so earnest in the scheme of raising negro troops, that I was directed to furnish a cavalry officer of ability, General J.

The plan was then read by the Secretary, after which, on motion of Mr. Whipple, it was ordered that it be now read by articles for consideration. The articles from 1 to 45 were then read and adopted.

has ever pursued studies of this kind to the same extent. An incident, which illustrates his professional learning and his independence of character, may be fitly given here. In 1829, the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth held that an officer serving a writ, which directs him to attach the property of the defendant, may be resisted, as a trespasser, by another party, whose goods he undertakes to seize, honestly but erroneously supposing them to be the defendant's. Commonwealth v. Kennard, 8 Pickering's Reports, p. 133. The decision imposed on executive officers a serious responsibility, and subjected them to personal peril. The sheriff regarded it as contrary to the precedents and policy of the law, and as depriving the officer of the protection to which he is entitled. So earnest were his convictions, that he did what would now hardly be thought deferential to the court. Besides communicating the decision to the sheriffs of other counties, with strong terms of disapprov

Colby, who stood by me bravely — when about a dozen had gathered I opened the meeting. Mrs. Colby read reports for two associations, British, I think. A German delegate had a long report written in German, which it would have been useless for her to read. She accordingly reported as she was able, in very funny English, I helping her when she was at a loss for a word. Her evident earnestness made a good impression. I reported for A. A.W., partly in wr

exhibited a degree of enterprise, fact and courage which proves that we have the flower of the old Navy, as well as of the old Army, in our service, and that the Government ought to put them in a position where they could render still more efficient aid to their country. The wonderful achievements of the Sumter, the brilliant career of the Nashville, the heroic fighting of our little fleet of tugs at Savannah under old Tatnall, the defiant running of the Yankee gauntlet on the Savannah by Kennard, the gallant fighting at Roanoke Island, and the magnificent victory of Hampton Roads, all prove what our naval officers can do if they have means in proportion to their merits, and can be placed upon a theatre equal to their deserts. Not only have these brave and patriotic gentlemen served with efficiency upon their own element, but have rendered most important services in the loud batteries. Congress ought to provide at once for the construction of a fleet, such as the interests of the
