ssion amid the most trying scenes which a soldier could be called to encounter. General Burnside was also known as a decided Christian; and many of the division and brigade commanders were remarkable for their deeply religious character. Mr. William Swinton, author of the History of the Army of the Potomac, relates some incidents in regard to General Couch and General Rosecrans, which demonstrate the power of the religious sentiment in their characters. Never, says Mr. Swinton, shall I forMr. Swinton, shall I forget how General Couch, the commander of the second corps, and successor of General Sumner (that old brave, with the courage of a lion and the tenderness of a child), replied to a question which I put to him as to whether he was ever afraid in battle. It was on that dark December day when the plains of Fredericksburg were lit up with baleful fires, and the placid serenity of the general amid the winged messengers of death prompted the question. I should strive in vain to convey the tender and

y the next day in much more comfortable condition. He added: Rawlins, too, looks very well, but I notice that his cough still seems very ugly. During this trip he was asked in the interest of General Grant to write a criticism of William Swinton's Decisive Battles, but on account of the pressure of his engagements he was forced to shift the burden to me, at the same time offering to revise my manuscript and to visit me for that purpose should it become necessary. About this time hend by women. He means one thing to-day and another to-morrow, but the glorification of Andrew Johnson all the time. He is capable of almost any enormity, but he will be foiled and covered with even greater infamy than John Tyler. Send along Swinton as soon as possible. I shall be here certainly till the end of next week, and possibly somewhat longer. Then I shall go to Chicago for a short time. On July 27, 1866, he stopped with me in Delaware on his way to Chicago.

not arouse the ire of the Protestants. His History of the conflict between religion and Science (1874), his last work, found place in the same series in which appeared Bagehot's Physics and politics, Spencer's Sociology, and Tyndall's Forms of water. It was one of the most widely demanded of the group. Draper's history of the Civil War brings him into relation with a group of patriotic writers who attempted to record the history of that struggle. The books that first appeared, as William Swinton's Campaigns of the army of the Potomac (1866) and Horace Greeley's American conflict (2 vols., 1864-66), were tinged with prejudice, however much the authors strove to keep it down. After ten years or more had passed a calmer attitude existed, and we encounter a number of books in which is discerned a serious striving to attain impartiality. In this stage the first notable effort was the series published by the Scribners known as Campaigns of the Civil War (13 vols., 1881– 90), in whi

cattered Confederate corps to assemble for the long-expected attack. The artificers had but got fairly to work when the firing of two guns from one of the enemy's batteries announced that we were discovered. They were, doubtless, signal-guns.—W.

The troops, being at their different camp-grounds, were formed immediately, and marched to then 1813, is dreadfully confused (embrouille). There is but I that see through it. We all felt the application of the first part of this saying to our case. But did we feel equally confident that there was in our case an I that saw through it?—W. Swinton: Correspondence of N. Y.
