r were defended under the State by small batteries, which were not completed when the State adopted the constitution of the Confederate States. Major R. C. Gatlin was commander of the Southern Department Coast defenses, with headquarters at Wilmington. North Carolina. Promoted to Brigadier-General in August, 1861, he was assigned to the command of the Department of North Carolina and the Coast defenses of the State. Scharf's History of the Confederate States Navy. New-York: Rogers and Sherwood. Rush C. Hawkins, Brevet Brigadier-General, U. S. V. One sultry afternoon in the last third of the month of August, 1861, while stationed at Newport News, Virginia, with my regiment, the 9th New York (Zouaves), a message from General Benjamin F. Butler came through the signal corps station from Fort Monroe asking if I would like to go upon an expedition. An affirmative answer brought General Butler to my headquarters the same afternoon, and he explained the objects of the proposed expe

I have said. His excellent management of the troops upon three fields, and his personal bravery, have attached him to his men as few commanders are attached. His staff, Captains Gallup and Sheldon and Lieutenant Pearson, are worthy followers of their brave leader. Colonel W. E. Hobson, of the Thirteenth Kentucky, upon whom the command of the brigade at times devolved, behaved always as became the hero of Huff's Ferry. Lieutenant-Colonel Lowry, of the One Hundred and Seventh Illinois; Major Sherwood, of the One Hundred and Eleventh Ohio; and Major Wheeler, of the Twentythird Michigan, each commanding, all carried themselves nobly. I must mention the name of ex-Colonel Joseph J. Kelly, of the One Hundred and Seventh Illinois, whose resignation had just been accepted, and who intended to start for his home in Illinois the day of the fight at Huff's Ferry, but would not leave while the regiment he had so long commanded was in the face of the enemy. He was with them all the time, urgi

ng, of Georgia, had come out from the East, scheming for office. He staid with us at Sonoma, and was generally regarded as the Government candidate for United States Senator. General Riley as Governor, and Captain Halleck as Secretary of State, had issued a proclamation for the election of a convention to frame a State constitution. In due time the elections were held, and the convention was assembled at Monterey. Dr. Semple was elected president; and Gwin, Sutter, Halleck, Butler King, Sherwood, Gilbert, Shannon, and others, were members. General Smith took no part in this convention, but sent me down to watch the proceedings, and report to him. The only subject of interest was the slavery question. There were no slaves then in California, save a few who had come out as servants, but the Southern people at that time claimed their share of territory, out of that acquired by the common labors of all sections of the Union in the war with Mexico. Still, in California there was litt

The wrench c is first applied to the stem d, and turned until the string is brought nearly to the proper pitch; the arm e, which carries a worm, is then thrown into gear with the wormwheel f at the extremity of the stem g, and the wrench c is fitted to this arm, enabling a gradual but very powerful tension to be applied to the string.

rown. Come, Colonel, bet you don't beat this place in the old country, nohow? Yet Salinas is an English town. Captain Sherwood, an officer in the English army, who had served in the Crimea, came to California with a sum of money to be spent in, a bag of nails, and the thing is done. Nothing easier. But let me see. A house-why not a town? At night he spoke to Sherwood- Let us build a city on the lake. Thinking of his cattle-run, the Captain smiled. A city for whom? What wretch would roaming as they pleased, driving their herds afield, unchecked by any fence, unscared by any gun. Such fellows seemed to Sherwood far from pleasant neighbours, and by no means likely settlers in a town. Yet Major Bucknall meant to try his luck- Come, let us build a city. He believed White men would come in, and occupy the Salinas pastures. Sherwood gave him a scrap of ground, on which he reared a log shanty. Six weeks after he began to build his hut, a fellow with an eye for coming custome

agine. McCabe, page 9.The indulgences of the Virginian of the eighteenth century were not peculiar to him alone. They largely prevailed in New England. They were the natural reflex of the laxity of English morals under the Georges. However liable the Virginian may have been to the charge of intolerance, superstition seems not to have benighted his nature. His courts record but one instance of an arraignment for witchcraft. Upon the complaint of one Luke Hill and wife in 1795 Grace Sherwood was tried by the County Court of Princess Anne on the suspicion of witchcraft. She was first searched by an able jury of ancient women and then subjected to the water test—being cast into the river and she swiming w'n therein and bound, contrary to custom, was again committed to ye common goal of ye county to be brought to a ffuture tryall there.
