bstantial wall of limestone, found in the vicinity. In it are the graves of sixty. Nine men of the brigade, buried there, and at the head of each grave is a Stone, with the name of the occupant upon it. A substantial monument of the same kind of Stone is within the enclosure. The wall and the monument were constructed by Hazen's men soon after the battle. The monument, which is seen at the left of the railway by travellers going toward Nashville, is ten feet square at the base, and about theth sides of the Pike, on the Murfreesboroa side of the stream. The shores of the stream are rough with bowlders, and some have supposed that these gave the name to it, which is generally called Stone River. Its name was derived from a man named Stone, and its proper orthography is that given in the text. In the above picture redoubt Brannan, named in honor of General Brannan, whom we met at Key West (see page 861, volume I.), is seen on the right of the Pike. It was one of a series of redou

Smith, when it was agreed to surrender, and the commander proposed to Banks the appointment of joint commissioners to arrange the terms. This was agreed to, and General Charles P. Stone, Colonel Henry W. Birge, and LieutenantColonel Richard B. Irwin were chosen for the purpose on the part of Banks.

, March, 1864. the transports arrived, on which Smith's troops had re-embarked at Fort de Russy. These landed and occupied the town. General Smith had left a small force behind to assist the Essex and Benton in destroying the fort, so that it could not be reoccupied by the Confederates. General Franklin was not ready to move with Banks's column from the Teche region until the 13th. March. He met with very little opposition. His cavalry division, under General A. L.

Banks followed, and made his Headquarters there on the 24th, but his whole column, composed of the Nineteenth and detachments of the Thirteenth Army Corps, did not reach there until the 26th. Meanwhile, four brigades of Smith's forces, led by General Mower, went out March 21. from Alexandria to attack a Confederate force at Henderson's Hill, twenty-five miles westward. The exp

Banks assigned me, I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. A. Gorman, Brigadier-General.
