general practice of mankind; and the exemption, as one of the attributes of sovereignty, is now enjoyed by the government of every State in the Union. Ibid., No. Lxxxi. In the same paragraph he uses these terms, sovereign and sovereignty, repeatedly—always with reference to the states, respectively and severally. Benjamin Franklin advocated equality of suffrage in the Senate as a means of securing the sovereignties of the individual States. See Elliott's Debates, Vol. V, p. 266. James Wilson of Pennsylvania said sovereignty is in the people before they make a Constitution, and remains in them, and described the people as being thirteen independent sovereignties. Ibid., Vol. II, p. 443. Gouverneur Morris, who was, as well as Wilson, one of the warmest advocates in the convention of a strong central government, spoke of the Constitution as a compact, and of the parties to it as each enjoying sovereign power. See Life of Gouverneur Morris, Vol. III, p. 193. Roger Sher

ortress Monroe. On receipt of this order, he said to his staff, who were near, Gentlemen, this order will be revoked to-morrow. The next day, clad in full uniform, he called at Grant's headquarters, where he found Mr. Dana, Asst. Sec. of War. Gen. James H. Wilson, in a memoir on the Life and services of W. F. Smith, gives the following account of the interview: — Dana describes Butler as entering the general's presence with a flushed face and a haughty air, holding out the order relievingn, and they seem to be here ahead of us. What have we got to do to-day? I had been somewhat prepared by my talk with Pendleton, had formulated a plan of my own, and was glad to have a chance to present it. My command having been north of the James had had no share in the fighting about Petersburg, and but little in the retreat. They had now begun to hear of a surrender, and would hint their sentiments in loud voices when I rode by. We don't want to surrender any ammunition. We've bee

f the Potomac, August 26, 1864. I have been for several days very much occupied, in the saddle all day, superintending the movements culminating in our securing a permanent lodgment on the Weldon Road. I think I wrote you of Warren's movements and his fights, which, although attended with heavy losses in prisoners, yet resulted in our retaining our hold and eventually inflicting great damage on the enemy. Soon after Warren was in position, Hancock was brought from the north side of the James, and placed on the railroad, with two divisions of infantry and one of cavalry, and commenced the work of destroying the road. He had only destroyed about seven or eight miles, when the enemy, yesterday, attacked him with great vehemence and superior numbers. Hancock was in a good position, and repulsed all their attacks till about dark, when, becoming desperate, they hurled such masses against him, they were enabled to carry a small portion of his lines and a battery of eight guns. As so

at General Grant was passing to the south side of the James, which he had anticipated and predicted as the probable projected movement of the enemy. Indeed, it afterwards appeared that General Grant's purpose, in fighting the battle of Cold Harbor (June 3d) was that, if unsuccessful in breaking through General Lee's lines, he might thus prepare the way for such a movement. General Grant's arrangements having been made for this last change of base, his several corps were put in motion for James River in the afternoon and night of the 12th of June. See Army of the Potomac, by Swinton, p. 498. See, also, General Meade's report. Smith's corps (the 18th) was transported by way of the White House back to Bermuda Landing; Burnside's corps (the 9th) and Wright's (the 6th), by way of Jones's Bridge (Chickahominy) and Charles City Court-house Road; Hancock's (the 2d) and Warren's (the 5th) corps, by way of Long Bridge (Chickahominy) to Wilcox Landing, on the James, Swinton's Army of
