ruse de guerre of McClellan preparatory to a march upon Richmond. I made to him some such reply as that once made to General Longstreet, when a cadet at West Point, by Professor Kendrick. The Professor asked Longstreet, who never looked at his chemistry, how the carbonic acid of commerce was made. Longstreet replied: By burning diamonds in oxygen gas.7 Yes, said Professor Kendrick, that will do it; but don't you think it would be a leetle expensive? The professor would never contradict any one. The following is a specimen of his style of questioning. X. Y. Z. (whose name is now a household word) was on examination: Professor K. What is its color? X. Y. Z. White, sir. Professor K. Yes, you mean a kind of grayish white. In fact, you might call it coal-black, might you not? X. Y. Z. Yes, sir, that's it.--D. H. H. Don't you think, I said to Whiting, that this ruse of McClellan is a leetle expensive? The old West Point yarn had a very quieting effect upon his apprehensions.

M., on the 28th, the regiment crossed White Oak Swamp, leading Keyes's corps, and advanced to the Charles City road. Lieutenant Davis was again sent to communicate with the gun-boats on the James. At daylight, on the 29th, Captain White's squadron, with 200 infantry and 2 guns, was sent to picket and hold Jones's Bridge on the Chickahominy. About 9 A. M. my scouts reported a regiment of the enemy's cavalry advancing in column about a mile away. Some woodland intervened. Between this and my position was an open field a quarter of a mile across. A picket was quickly posted at the hither edge of the wood, with orders to fire upon the enemy when he should come within range and then turn and run away, thus inviting pursu

The surrender of Harper's Ferry. by Julius White, Brigadier-General, U. S. V. Army water-cart. On the 8th of September, 1862, being then in command of the Union forces at Martinsburg, Virginia, about 2500 of all arms, I reported to General Wool at Baltimore, commanding the Department, that the enemy was approaching from the north in a force estimated at 15,000 to 20,000, and asked for instructions. General Wool replied: If 20,000 men should attack you, you will of course fall bait, or at any time thereafter prior to the surrender, in spite of any resistance which under the circumstances could have been made. The report of the Military Commission censured Colonels Miles and Ford and Major Baird. It affirmed that there was nothing in the conduct of Colonels D'Utassy and Trimble to call for censure; and that General Julius White merited the approbation of the Commission, adding, He appears from the evidence to have acted with decided capability and courage.--Editors.
