e which required nearly all of his available troops--General Dick Taylor, whom he had driven into the wilds of Western Louisirous movement, and, in so doing he left Brashear exposed. Taylor's troops found little difficulty in raiding all over the c danger, and before ten o'clock on the day of the capture, Taylor and Green, Mouton and Hunter, were in conference in Brashe P. Pellet, page 185. This was almost the last struggle of Taylor's troops in the vicinity of the Mississippi at that time, y only about seven hundred men when the way was opened for Taylor to Algiers, he dared not attempt the capture of that city, brought down from Port Hudson. Before the close of July, Taylor had evacuated Brashear City July 22. (but not until he haand holding the harbors on its coast. In the mean time, Taylor, still westward of the Atchafalaya, became quite active. t when, in obedience to orders, he commenced falling back, Taylor and Green pursued him closely.

hlgren are seen besieging Charleston very quietly. Mobile is held by the Confederates, and Banks, at New Orleans, anxious to attempt its capture, is restrained by superior authority. His hold on Texas is by a feeble tenure, and the confining of Taylor westward of the Atchafalaya may be of very short duration. Steele has a considerable army at Little Rock, threatening Taylor's flank, and Rosecrans, who was succeeded by Thomas in the command of the Army of the Cumberland, is at the head of the Taylor's flank, and Rosecrans, who was succeeded by Thomas in the command of the Army of the Cumberland, is at the head of the Department of the Missouri. Between the Mississippi River and the Appalachian chain of mountains little more than guerrilla operations are seen; while near the southern extremity of that chain of hills, at and near Chattanooga, Grant lies with a strong, force, watching the army he has lately conquered, under Bragg, which is now in the vicinity of Dalton, in Georgia, commanded by General Joseph E. Johnston. It is about fifty thousand strong, including troops sent to Mobile. The Confederates

, and on few transports inadequately guarded by armed vessels. Under these circumstances, and others just mentioned, Banks would have been justified in going no farther, for he had ascertained that the Confederates from Texas and Arkansas, under Taylor, Price, Green, and others, were gathering on his front, to the number of about twenty-five thousand, with over seventy guns. But his own troops and those of General Smith were anxious to secure the main object of the expedition, They were stiy, by the free use of his artillery, pushed them back to the woods beyond the clearing at Sabine Cross Roads, three or four miles below Mansfield, where he found the Trans-Mississippi army, full twenty thousand strong, under Generals Kirby Smith, Taylor, Mouton, and Green. Finding the position and strength of his foes much superior to his own, they being behind the crest of a hill covered with pine woods, over which passed the only road to Shreveport, Lee concluded to wait until the main body

When he arrived at Okolona, Grierson discovered that the Confederates were in considerable force and well intrenched at Egypt Station, a few miles below; and intercepted dispatches from General Dick Taylor, at Mobile, informed him that re-enforcements were to be given to the garrison immediately. lie resolved to attack before they should arrive.

Co-operating with these troops, then concentrated at Pulaski, were the cavalry brigades of Generals Croxton and Capron, the former numbering about 2,500 men, and the latter about 1,200. while his antagonist, just re-enforced by a part of General Taylor's army at Mobile, had about fifty-five thousand men. Hood's army was composed of about 42,000 infantry and artillery, and 13,000 cavalry, many of whom were Kentuckians and Tennesseeans, jubilant with the idea that they were about to expel

General Dick Taylor was then in charge of the Department Redoubt and ditch at Mobile. this was the appearance of a portion of the inner line of works, in the suburbs of th had, as Grant said on another occasion, robbed the cradle and the grave. So inadequate was the force that Forrest was not disposed to attempt a defense, but General Taylor, the commander of the department, who was there, ordered him to hold it at all hazards. Then Taylor left in a train of cars going south-ward toward Cahawba, Taylor left in a train of cars going south-ward toward Cahawba, and was no more seen. Forrest resolved to do his best, and did so. After a reconnoissance, Wilson directed Long to attack the Confederate works northwestward of the city, by a diagonal movement across the Summerville road, on which he was posted, while Upton, with three hundred picked men, should turn the right of the intrench

The capitulation included all the troops in Johnston's Military Department, which comprised the sea-board States south of Virginia. On the 4th of May, General Taylor surrendered, at Citronelle, the Confederate forces in Alabama, to General Canby, on terms substantially like those accorded to Lee and Johnston.

He bound up the wound with his handkerchief, and kept on fighting to the end. The conflict was near the old battle-ground of General Taylor, at Palo Alto, in 1846, about two thousand miles from the first considerable battle-ground at Bull Run. The extent of the field of conflict occupied in the Civil War may be comprehended by considering the fact, that the region between Bull R

On the 20th of April, three ladies and one gentleman of Philadelphia (Mrs. Israel Bissell, Miss Eliza Austin, Mrs. S. Calhoun, and Peter E. M. Harris) signed a notice of a meeting of the ladies of several churches in that city, to make arrangements for providing hospital materials, which was read by the Rev. Dr. Taylor, from the pulpit of the Third Reformed Dutch Church of that city, on the next afternoon. This led to the formation of the Ladies' aid Society of Philadelphia, which, during the war, collected and distributed money and supplies of the value of over three hundred thousand dollars. The Ladies' Association for soldiers' relief, was formed in Philadelphia the next year, with Mrs. Mary A. Brady at its head. Many other associations were organized in Philadelphia for kindred purposes. Inde
