ly kept. The vessels which the government was collecting from all quarters for this expedition had received sealed orders, designating Key West or the mouths of the Mississippi as the rallying-point. Butler started three weeks later. On the 23d of February, after receiving his instructions from the President and General McClellan, he left Chesapeake Bay with a fleet of transports, on board of which were the troops he had raised in the North, together with three regiments detached from Baltimore. He was to take up two other regiments at Key West, and one at Fort Pickens. The voyage was long and tedious, and it was only after being one month at sea that he landed at Ship Island, where he found himself at the head of thirteen thousand seven hundred men. Farragut had long been waiting for him, and had availed himself of this delay to organize his forces, and prepare them for the difficult enterprise which had been entrusted to them. His squadron consisted of the frigate Colora

o the Union, like those of West Virginia. A march upon Baltimore must have been very tempting to the Confederate leader. Baltimore, the great slave city, was only kept under Federal jurisdiction by force. It had furnished almost alone all the v them at any point whatever between the lower Potomac and Baltimore. In marching upon this city, therefore, Lee would have ges; if he abandoned the idea of attempting an attack upon Baltimore, he drew near to Pennsylvania and Harrisburg, the capitalmy against any attack which might come from Washington or Baltimore.

Book IV:—Kentucky Chapter 1: Perryville. THE defeats of Pope in Virginia, followed by the invasion of Maryland, had reawakened the aggressive ardor of the Confederates in the West. Believing that Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia were already in the power of Lee, both soldiers and officers in Bragg's army dreamed in their turn of the conquest of Cincinnati and Louisville, the deliverance of Nashville, Memphis, and even of New Orleans. The secessionists, who were numerous in Kentucky and in the majority in Tennessee, were becoming bolder every day; the expeditions of Morgan and Forrest during the month of July, 1862, had restored all their confidence. These two daring partisans had admirably opened the way for the campaign which their commander was contemplating, and had overrun the States he intended to invade, like a sudden and subtle blast which penetrates the forest and then vanishes before some great storm of which it is the certain precursor.

The military occupation of the great city of Baltimore soon rendered a recourse to extreme measures necessary. The leaders who had temporarily drawn it into the secession movement thought only of revenging themselveerfectly legal. Mr. Lincoln instructed his agents to pay no attention to this decision. One month later, June 27th, General Banks, who was then in command at Baltimore, caused the arrest of four officers of the municipal police, who, although suspended by him, had persisted in issuing orders to their agents encouraging them to f resorting to this measure in order to silence that portion of the press which was in favor of the South in the districts subject to military authority, such as Baltimore, Washington, St. Louis, and all that region of country which had been reconquered by the force of arms; for this authority, being invested with discretionary pow
