a busy night on the river, messages going to City Point and Fort Monroe, and ferryboats and gunboats . . I shall never forget meeting, on the City Point road, five Confederate soldiers, under guardembarked on a boat with General Ingalls, for City Point. The boat started up the river with us, and we found it an hour's trip to City Point. The river is very pretty, or rather fine, with banks thang never before seen a real, live slave. At City Point I delivered some despatches at General Grantle), and proceeded down the Appomattox, past City Point, and then bore up the James, passing Bermuda few minutes came a telegraph from Grant, at City Point, saying that an ordnance barge had blown up,ked, when arrested by the Provost-Guard near City Point, on the day of the assault, and asked what h division, sick, and go to friend Dalton, at City Point.

bil Lord. October 7, 1864 There is a certain General Benham, who commands the engineers at City Point, and was up about laying out some works. Channing Clapp is on his Staff. You ought to see thigh. He was a jolly old buck and much amused by a lot of civilians, who also had come up from City Point. He called them T. G.'s, signifying travelling gents, and, whenever we came on a redoubt, witaccompanied it, with Biddle, Mason and Rosencrantz. It would appear that they encountered, at City Point, Admiral Porter with Mrs. P. and another lady, who came, on their return, as far as Hancock's ddle had a foolish and deprecatory air. It immediately was related, midst loud shouts, how, at City Point Grant had given General Meade a bunch of cigars to beguile the way of himself, Admiral Porter,lace to hold), and sundry other personages, all trying to giggle and all wishing themselves at City Point! As to yours truly, he wasn't going to get behind trees, so long as old George G. stood out i

ho started by the mail train, at 8 A. M., to be early at Grant's Headquarters, whence they were to start. We took our horses on a freight car. In the train we found Generals Warren and Crawford, who were invited to be of the party. Arrived at City Point, we discovered that the Lieutenant-General was still in bed, whereat Meade did laugh, but the three stars soon appeared and went to breakfast. After which meal, our horses were put on the boat and we put ourselves on, and off we started. The own the fact for some time, and as the newspapers have hinted at it in unmistakable terms, I conceive there is no impropriety in my, saying that we have now with us the 6th Corps once again. A week ago Sunday night the first division came from City Point on the cars, having come straight from the neighborhood of Winchester by car and boat. The next morning we were treated to the sight of the familiar red crosses, and soon General Wheaton rode up, to see the General and report. . . .Very loath

A. M. the General got a telegraph (one of those charming City Point surprises) saying that a train was just then starting, hould far rather command an army, as you do, than live at City Point and have the position of Mr. Grant! They were to have a dance that night on their boat at City Point, and politely and earnestly asked me to go down with them; but the point was ns allowed to stay within our lines, but they run up from City Point and return in the afternoon. Poor little Mrs. Webb accod led by Abbot! . . . That evening we were invited to City Point, to see a medal given to General Grant. This medal had de, with a large party, including Mrs. Lyman, arrived at City Point on the evening of March 22. The next two days were spenbit of country. Yesterday we had an interesting trip to City Point. General Meade said to me, to my great surprise: I am gold writer and go at it. I ordered Benham to rush up from City Point and reinforce Parke, and I managed to send something to
