and safety! Not a word from my husband or sons. June 22d, 1862. Dr. T. called to-day, to say that the firing we heard on Friday was from our guns shelling the enemy, to drive them lower down the Chickahominy. Letters, by underground railroad, from our dear William, at Fort Delaware. He complains of nothing but his anxiety to be exchanged, and the impossibility of hearing from home. C., at the same time, got a letter from my brother. He writes in good spirits about our affairs.. Jackson's career is glorious. The sick and wounded are doing well; hospitals are in good order, and the ladies indefatigable in nursing. Surgeon-like, he tells more of the wounded than any thing else. Rev. Mr. C. came up to-day, and gave us some amusing incidents of Stuart's raid. As some of our men rode by Mr. B's gate, several of them went in with Mr. B's sons for a few moments.

One weary year ago, when came a lull With victory, in the conflicts' stormy closes, When the glad Spring, all flushed and beautiful, First mocked us with her roses- With dirge and bell, and minute-gun, we paid Some few poor rites, an inexpressive token Of a great people's pain, to Jackson's shade, In agony unspoken. No wailing trumpet, and no tolling bell, No cannon, save the battle's boom receding, When Stuart to the grave we bore, might tell With hearts all crushed and bleeding.
