The ambulances are now bringing in the enemy's wounded as well as our own. It is the prompting of humanity.
They seem truly grateful for this magnanimity, as they call it; a sentiment hitherto unknown to them.

Early in June, 1862, I was in command of the army corps known as the Army of the Mississippi, which formed the left wing of the army engaged in operations against Corinth, Miss., commanded by General Halleck.
A few days after Corinth was evacuated I went to St. Louis on a short leave of absence from my command, and while there I received a telegram from Mr. Stanton, Secretary of War, requesting me to come to Washington immediately.
I at once communicated the fact to General Halleck by telegraph, and received a reply from him strongly objecting to my leaving the army which was under
