re studied the more valuable they will be found. Not only the battles, military and naval, but incidental matters, like the capture of Davis and the treatment of prisoners, are discussed. As to the capture of Davis, the author makes sad work of Wilson's account, but he is forced to admit that the ex-President was captured on his way to the spring with women with a pail, and that he had a cloak thrown over him, probably for disguise; and the affidavits of the Federal officers there show that ittorical fulness, can afford to be without our Papers, is, of course, very gratifying to us. But in reference to the criticisms, we have a word of reply. We are glad that our critic is. constrained to admit that Major Walthall makes sad work of Wilson's account of the capture of President Davis, but we respectfully submit that if he will read the paper more carefully, he will find that he does not admit that the ex-President was captured on his way to the spring with women with a pail, and tha

gloom, some one cried out, Whose treat is this? when Judge Perry, now of this county, then orderly sergeant of company D, in the Second Georgia, utterly unable, even there, to resist his abominable penchant for punning, answered, It is long's-treat. But I am digressing. We had now returned to Centreville, and one evening while in conversation with your father on law and literary subjects, as uncongenial as these may seem, I proposed to read him some lines I had written and published, To Wilson's New York Zouaves. After I had finished, he appeared to be absorbed for a moment, then said: Well, I have just written some lines myself, which I shall not publish, but if you will promise me secrecy, I will read them to you. I promised, and for the first time in my life, heard All quiet along the Potomac to-night. I shall never forget either the occasion or the circumstances. He read the lines without unusual feeling until he came to the picture of the little trundle-bed, when his voice

men I would not join in any movement against Hooker, but that if the President chose to call on me officially for my opinions, I would give them. I have spoken to no one but Governor Curtin, and to him only because he came to see me and spoke so freely and bitterly against Hooker, that I allowed myself to say a part of what I have above written. I considered my conversation with Governor Curtin private, and did not expect he would repeat it or quote me. I have seen Senators Wade, Chandler, Wilson and Doolittle, all of whom have been down here to find out what they could, but I have abstained from saying anything, as they did not think proper to ask me any questions. Hooker is safe, I think, from the difficulty of finding a successor, and from the ridiculous appearance we present of changing our generals after each battle. He may, and I trust he will, do better next time; but unless he shows more aptitude than in the last affair, he will be very apt to be defeated again. Lee commi

u have seen how highly honored I have been in having my name associated with General Hooker by Mr. Wilson, in the Senate, in a vote of thanks for the Gettysburg campaign. Why they confined the includ with my operations and success at Gettysburg than either Burnside or McClellan; but I presume Mr. Wilson, who is a great friend and admirer of Hooker, was a little doubtful of a distinct resolution out, I accepted; but on going there I found it to be a regular dinner party. Senators Collamore, Wilson, Wilkeson and Powell, together with Judges Holt and Law, and the ladies of the family, constitutave some very powerful influences exerted in his favor, and he will use them efficiently. I see Wilson has moved in the Senate that the Committee on the Conduct of the War enquire and report on the W enough votes to defeat me, remains to be seen. Grant is now in Washington.

Appendix R: letters from General Grant to Mr. Wilson, Chairman of the military Committee, and Mr. Washburne, at Washington, D. C., urging General Meade's confirmation as Major-General in the regular army, mentioned in letter of January 21, 1865. see page 257, Vol. II City Point, Va., Jan. 23, 1865. Grant to Wilson: IWilson: I see that Generals Thomas and Sheridan have been confirmed as Major Generals in the Regular Army, whilst no mention is made of General Meade's confirmation to the same rank. From this I infer objections have been raised. This I regret. General Meade was appointed at my solicitation after a campaign the most protracted, and coth a full knowledge of the man, what he has done, and the circumstances attending all his military acts, all objections would be removed. I wrote a letter to Senator Wilson to day in his behalf, which I hope will have some weight. If you can put in a word with some of the Senators particularly those who oppose his confirmation a
