a, where the family was temporarily residing, having, with many others, removed from Philadelphia upon the occupation of that place by the British army under General Howe. After a thorough education and careful preliminary training, Richard Worsam Meade entered his father's counting-house, where he early displayed remarkable talent. Whilst so employed he made, in the interest of his father's house, several voyages to the West Indies. In 1795, when but seventeen years of age, he visited Europe, going out in charge of one of his father's vessels, and on this occasion made an extended tour through England and France, returning to America in 1796. He then again visited the West Indies, this time embarking in a business venture on his own account in the island of Santo Domingo. Although absent for only three years, he yet succeeded, at the early age of twenty-two, by his talents and industry, in achieving an independence, and, returning to Philadelphia in 1800, in the following year

all have a war such as the world has not seen for many years; one of antagonistic principles, in which all the nations of Europe must take a part, and in which every able-bodied man in our country will have to bear his share. If that is coming, the who are not known except to their few personal friends as having been in the action; whereas, all over the country and in Europe, wherever I should have an acquaintance, they will know by this report, at least, that I was in both actions, and that apbe somewhat dimmed by our apparently tardy operations succeeding them. People who are accustomed to read of campaigns in Europe and elsewhere, where armies march over thickly settled countries, producing all that is required for the subsistence of tit five chapels, all with magnificent altar-pieces. The Catholic Churches of Mexico are entirely different from those of Europe. The altar-pieces, as they are called, consist of the most elaborate wood-work, gilded, which occupies the whole wall of

n immediate forward movement. This afternoon these gentlemen reviewed our division, and as the cortege passed my brigade, I joined it, and found among them my friend Mr. Mercier, the French Minister. I observed to him, in a joking way, that all Europe, as well as this country, were talking of his visit to Richmond. Yes, he replied, and both parties attaching an importance which it utterly wants, for it had no political object whatever. Previous to the review I had been at General McDowell's ough my camps and showing him my command. He seems like all foreign officers of rank, intelligent and educated. He expressed himself delighted and wonder-struck with all he saw, and says our troops will compare favorably with the best troops in Europe, and he has seen them all. If he goes back to Philadelphia, I will give him a letter to you, for I think he will interest you. I note what you say of General Hooker. I think he will outlive that scandal, for it most certainly is a scandal. W

They have in their company a Mr. Hutton, from New York, who used to be on Burits anniversary he should be the guest of the victorious commander. He says in Europe it was looked on as a great battle. It is said Washington is very unhealthy,ement can be made. If you could only hear of some kind friend who was going to Europe, who would take care of Sergeant, and thus render your going unnecessary, it woh of our lines and the amount of engineering work we had done, and said that in Europe they had no conception of the character of the war we are engaged in, the obsta thing; and say it is impossible for us to realize the ignorance that exists in Europe of America and American affairs. General Doyle is the person who behaved so we Mississippi, from whence I have no doubt he will go into Mexico, and thence to Europe. To Mr. Henry A. Cram, Brother-in-law of Mrs. Meade.

in letter of March 15, 1864. see page 180, Vol. II (New York Herald, March 12, 1864） The battle of Gettysburg--important communication from an eye-witness — how the victory was won and how its advantages were lost--Generals Halleck's and Meade's official reports Refuted &C., &C., &C. To the editor of the Herald: The Battle of Gettysburg is the decisive battle of this war. It not only saved the Capital from invasion, but turned the tide of victory in our favor. The opinion of Europe on the failure of the rebellion dates from this great conflict. How essential then, that its real history should be known. Up to this moment no clear narrative has appeared. The sketches of the press, the reports of Generals Halleck and Meade and the oration of Mr. Everett give only phases of this terrible struggle, and that not very correctly. To supply this hiatus I send you a connected, and I hope, lucid review of its main features. I have not ventured to touch on the thrilling incid
