or which he had no opportunity to prepare. General Lee collected about eighteen thousand men near the sallying field, ordered men selected to cut away the fraise and abatis for the storming column that should advance with empty guns (to avoid premature alarms), and ordered a squadron of cavalry ready to dash across the lines to cut the wires about General Grant's lines. The Army of the Potomac, General Meade commanding, was posted,--the Ninth Corps on the right from James River to Fort Howard, including Fort Steadman, General Parke commanding; next, on Parke's left, was the Sixth Corps, under General Wright; then General Humphreys with the Second Corps, General Warren with the Fifth; General Sheridan's cavalry, armed with repeating rifles, on the extreme left; General Ord, commanding the Army of the James, on the north side, Generals Gibbon and Weitzel commanding corps,--all officers of the highest attainments and veterans in service.

n the States. Very truly yours, James A. Walker. On the 25th day of March, 1865, from the Appomattox around to Fort Howard, which was on the Federal lines at a point about due south from the Customhouse in Petersburg, these lines were occupid by this corps extended from the Appomattox on the right, with pickets stretching some three miles down the river, to Fort Howard on the left, a distance of about seven miles. The line was occupied by the First Division, Brevet Major-General O. B. to Fort Meikel, and the Second Division, Brevet Major-General R. B. Potter, commanding, extending from Fort Meikel to Fort Howard. The Third Division, Brigadier-General J. F. Hartranft, commanding, was held in reserve, its right regiment being posted near the Dunn House Battery, and its left regiment between Forts Hays and Howard. The entrenchment held by Wilcox's Division and the First Brigade of Potter's, were very nearly placed when the positions were originally gained by our troops, unde

It appears therefrom that the greatest thermometrical range at any of the military posts is 147 degrees, this being at Fort Ripley, Minnesota; at Fort Kent, in Maine, it is 137 degrees. The greatest degree of cold at the former post is 50 below zero, and at the latter 37 below zero. In not far from the same latitude, in the region of the lakes and at a similar altitude, at Forts Brady and Howard, in Michigan, the range is scarcely less. At Fort Wilkins, on Lake Superior, which is almost surrounded by water, the degree of cold is only 9 below zero. In Washington Territory, at Fort Stelacoom, in the same latitude, the range is only 95 degrees, the mercury falling to only 1 degree below zero. The greatest heat is at Fort Yuma, in Southern California, situated in latitude 32, on the Colorado river; the average maximum heat for three and a half years being 121 degrees, and the range 1
