ed to push on and cooperate in the pending movement. Night soon after set in, and Smith contented himself with having two divisions of Hancock's corps occupy the works which had been captured. Reinforcements from Lee's army were now arriving in Smith's front. General Grant's belief regarding the inferior force in Petersburg proved to be entirely correct. While the works were well supplied with artillery, about the only available troops to defend them were Wise's brigade of 2500 men, and Deering's cavalry of 2000. Besides this force there was only the local militia, composed of old men and young boys, who had never seen active service. The general-in-chief had used all the arts of which he was master in preparing and conducting this memorable movement across the James, which was beset at all points by innumerable difficulties. He had thrown nearly 16,000 troops against Petersburg before Lee had sent a single reinforcement there, and had moved them by transports so that they m

ree, when Luther B. was sixteen years of age. Luther worked on the farm in early life, and by his own efforts was fitted for college at the New Hampton Institute. He taught while yet a student, beginning his first school before his sixteenth birthday, and also was engaged in teaching winters while pursuing his college course at Dartmouth, from which he graduated in 1859. Among the towns he taught in during this period are Campton, N. H., North Sandwich, Mass., South Yarmouth, Mass., Deering, N. H., and Cedarville (Sandwich), Mass. After graduating, he continued to teach for a period of twenty years in grammar and high school positions in Massachusetts. He taught in Canton and in the Reading, Hopkinton, and Bridgewater high schools. For one year he was principal of the Prescott grammar school, Somerville, resigning to accept a submaster's position in the Charlestown high school, which he held several years. He also held a similar position in the Somerville high school. Over

ating artillery, regardless of the Minnie and Belgian rifle balls which flew about him. Position after position was selected, but after a few shots each was abandoned, and onward dashed our artillery after them. Though we pushed on as rapidly as our legs would carry us, they were soon far ahead and the last we saw of them they were far ahead, to our left, hammering after a train of cars loaded with Yankee troops. This officer, I learn, is Captain Caskie, of Va., who commanded a portion of Deering's battalion. Early in the afternoon we reached the woods overlooking Newbern, taking about 150 prisoners in the chase. Here we remained in line of battle all night. The next day our forces in the rear captured a splendid battery of two pieces, horses, &c., complete, and about 200 prisoners, who had been cut off and had secreted themselves in the woods. Since there some 100 more have been taken, making in all between 450 and 500 prisoners and two pieces of artillery, besides horses,
