nd to forfeit all allowances. Colonel Gardiner Tufts, our State agent at Washington, who knew the man and had examined the case, had written to the Governor that he was a good and faithful soldier, one who has been and can be trusted to go into the city without guard. The Governor had previously called the attention of the Secretary of War to this sentence in strong and indignant language. Major Burt, the Judge-Advocate of the Commonwealth, had also examined the case, and his letter to Judge Holt, at the head of the Bureau of Military Justice, in regard to it was most able and convincing. In the letter of the Governor to the President is this paragraph— This inhuman sentence could not be imposed by a judge of the highest judicial tribunal of this Commonwealth for any crime. But I understand the court-martial that imposed this sentence was presided over by a captain in the service. Such things ought not to be. . . . You know how extremely uncertain these tribunals have prov

Chapter 11: War between the states Dana at Washington Stanton Secretary of War course of the tribune Auditor of accounts at Cairo visits Memphis makes acquaintance of Grant and Rawlins The government, now in the throes of the great conflict, needed the services of every loyal man. The previous administration had been reinforced and encouraged by Black, Holt, and Stanton. These strong men had done much to revive the sinking spirits of the country, but as Stanton alone had found a place in Lincoln's cabinet much still needed to be done to restore order, promote efficiency, and re-establish confidence. Fortunately, Dana's work in building up the Republican party and electing a president to carry out its policies was now at an end, but the war for the Union, although well under way, was not in a hopeful condition. Large armies had been raised, but the administration still needed men to direct and fight rather than to talk and write. Dana had made Lincoln's acquain

ner than anywhere else in the men who govern. When rulers seek the furtherance of their own ends, when laws and the whole framework of Government are only so many instruments of wrong, the nation cannot be far from decadence. Sumner's love of justice and truth made him essentially a Democrat. Personally, he was not one, but he became one in the times in which he lived. By the force of circumstances he became the leader of his party. He came forward at the time when Webster, Choate, and Holt were the heroes—in Massachusetts, when it was almost worth a man's life to say a word against any of them. Now, how is it? By nature Sumner was endowed with a manly person, of an admirable cast of mind; yet he was a made — up man. He fell lately from the blow he received in his earlier career, and neither Brown nor Lincoln was a greater martyr for liberty than Charles Sumner. How beautiful to die so! The club that struck him was better than knighting him. It brought him to honor and immor

n hour, climbed up a lamp-post in the streets of London, would not have tried a man who could not stand on his feet. There is no such record in the blackest roll of tyranny. If Jeffries could speak, he would thank God that at last his name might be taken down from the gibbet of History, since the Virginia bench has made his worst act white, set against the blackness of this modern infamy. [Applause.] And yet the New York press daily prints the accounts of the trial. Trial! In the names of Holt and Somers, of Hale and Erskine, of Parsons, Marshall, and Jay, I protest against the name. Trial for life, in Anglo-Saxon dialect, has a proud, historic meaning. It includes indictment by impartial peers; a copy of such indictment and a list of witnesses furnished the prisoner, with ample time to scrutinize both; liberty to choose, and time to get counsel; a sound body and a sound mind to arrange one's defence; I need not add, a judge and jury impartial as the lot of humanity will admit; h

Thus the year 1860 closed with a hostile nd fears throughout the South. Mr. Wigfall telegraphed at once from Washington, Holt succeeds Floyd. It means war. Cut off supplies of Anderson and take Sumter as sappointed to the place. The new Cabinet was now composed of Messrs. Black, Dix, Holt, Toucey, Stanton and King, who served in apparent harmony to the end of the terms to Washington empowered to propose the terms of a just and honorable peace.

The Confederates lost about 60 killed and wounded, among the latter, Captain Thrall of the artillery. Another expedition into west Tennessee was inaugurated on the 9th of March, 1864, by an order to the Seventh Tennessee, Colonel Duckworth, and to McDonald's battalion, Colonel Crews, to prepare rations and ammunition for a movement in the direction of Corinth. A few days thereafter General Forrest advanced with a division commanded by Brig.-Gen. A. Buford. The Third Kentucky, Lieutenant-Colonel Holt; the Seventh Kentucky, Colonel Crossland; the Eighth, Colonel Lyon; Faulkner's Kentucky regiment, Colonel Faulkner, and Wisdom's Tennessee regiment, Lieut.-Col. D. M. Wisdom, constituted the Third brigade, Col. A. P. Thompson commanding. Col. T. H. Bell commanded the Fourth brigade, composed of the Second Tennessee, Col. C. R. Barteau; Sixteenth, Col. A. N.
