er wrote to Mr. Bright from Boston, August 5:— I wish I could sit by the seashore and talk with you again. It is hard to write of events and of persons with that fulness and frankness which you require. The letters which I enclose from Mr. Atkinson, Edward Atkinson, of Boston. a most intelligent and excellent person, will let you see the chance of cotton from the South. Do not count upon it.

Make your calculations as if it were beyond reach. His plan of opening Texas reads well on paper; but thus far we have lost by dividing our forces. We must concentrate and crush. The armies of the South must be met and annihilated. If we start an expedition to Texas there will be another division. Climate, too, will be for the present against us. The correspondence between General Butler and Mr. Johnson will show you that government puts no restraint upon the sale of cotton; it is the perverseness of the rebels that does it all. Congress has adjourned. After a few days in Wash

Edward Atkinson, of Boston, wrote to Sumner, February 29: Sherman's speech has created more distrust here than anything that has yet taken place. Mr. Atkinson contributed a series of papers to the New York Evening Post, which were published in a pamphlet, with the title Senator Sherman's Fallacies. William Endicott, Jr., of the same city, wrote the same day, invoking Sumner towould be an inexcusable perfidy should we break this solemn engagement. On technical points he had excellent advisers in Atkinson and Endicott, both experts in finance, and distinguished for disinterested patriotism. It was a characteristic of Sumnehis house. His colored friend, J. B. Smith, gave him a dinner, with Rev. Dr. Potter of New York, Moses Kimball, and Edward Atkinson among the guests. Sumner wrote to Whittier, November 13:— Last evening I was told that you were in Boston,

of the colored people, whose solid Republican column at the South it was important to break. Accordingly, for six weeks before the meeting of the convention its promoters plied the senator with appeals for a public statement of his position, which were so near in date and so alike in substance as to suggest concert among the writers. Among them were Whitelaw Reid of the New York Tribune, Horace White of the Chicago Tribune, Samuel Bowles of the Springfield Republican, Francis W. Bird, Edward Atkinson, David A. Wells, Hiram Barney, George Wilkes, and J. R. Doolittle; and they were reinforced by others who joined in a similar pressure at Washington. They set forth with great urgency the necessity of his taking a stand openly in order to save the new movement at its birth; and they added the personal appeal that one of its inspirations was the indignation felt at the outrage inflicted on him by the President and his partisans in his removal from his committee. Mr. Reid wrote with muc
