urred in McCook's Corps, the loss in some of his regiments being unusually large. The Fourteenth Corps, at the time when it was first designated as such, embraced twelve divisions, containing 155 regiments of infantry, 1 regiment of engineers, 35 batteries of light artillery, and 6 regiments of cavalry. There are no returns showing its numerical strength at this time; but, a return in December, 1862, shows an aggregate of 123,402, present and absent, with 66,795 present for duty. Official Records, Vol. XX, Part II, p. 285. Like the Thirteenth Corps, which was also constituted by General Order 168, the Fourteenth embraced an entire army; and hence, like the Thirteenth, some further subdivision became necessary. On November 7th, General Rosecrans ordered that the corps be divided into the right wing, centre, and left wing, to the command of which, Major-Generals McCook, Thomas, and Crittenden were respectively assigned. The centre contained five divisions, while the right a

Battery L, 1st Illinois Light Artillery. Minnesota.--The cavalry from this State served in Dakota Territory, where an active war was carried on with the Sioux Indians and other hostile tribes. The 2d Minnesota Infantry distinguished itself early in the war by its participation in the battle of Mill Springs, Ky., one of the first battles, and the first Union victory, in the West. It took a prominent part in this engagement, its casualties amounting to 12 killed and 33 wounded. Official Records, Vol. VII; but the Army Register of U. S. Vols. states this loss at 10 killed and 75 wounded. At Chickamauga this regiment fought in Vandever's (3d) Brigade, Brannan's (3d) Division, Fourteenth Corps, its losses on that field aggregating 34 killed, 107 wounded, Including the mortally wounded. and 51 missing; total, 192.

r among the marching thousands are ambulances. When before could an army have dared to boast of the provision made for those incapacitated by disease or wounds? In the preparation of the prison sections, the author has consulted a large number of the published accounts of experiences, has talked with dozens of one-time prisoners, and has corresponded with many more. The conflicting accounts have been checked by the contemporary documents contained in the eight prison volumes of the Official Records of the Union and Aid for the men at the front—Christian commission The Christian Commission was second as a civilian agency of relief only to the Sanitary Commission. The scene above tells its own story. The box numbered 1103 and addressed to the United States Christian Commission suggests how numerous were its consignments to the front. The veteran who has lost a leg is leaning on crutches furnished by the organization. He need have no fear for his pension. They have helped

he war, prisoners starved, while their guards fared little better. With all the resources of the North, prisoners were often hungry, frequently because of the inefficiency of their commanders. Commissaries in collusion with contractors sometimes reduced the rations of the prisoners both in quality and quantity. In one case, at least, a commissary was dismissed from service, but because of his political friends was restored. The reports of the Federal inspectors are set forth in the Official Records. Shelter was provided in the North, but fuel was often scanty, and in some cases lacking. In some of the Southern prisons no shelter was provided, and fuel was likewise scanty, though fortunately not so much needed for comfort. The medical and surgical attendance was very often unsatisfactory. For, as in the case of the commanding officers, surgeons preferred service among their own people to that of attending prisoners. Even where the intentions of the surgeon were the best, the

lace was not abandoned, however; and in February, 1863, out of 3884 prisoners, 387 died. This mortality rate, almost exactly ten per cent. for the month, was not reached in any month, in any other large prison during the war, so far as the Official Records indicate. Camp Chase, at Columbus, Ohio, was another instruction Camp turned into a prison to accommodate the prisoners captured at Forts Henry and Donelson, in February, 1862, and used as such until the end of the war. Conditions here we built. By this time there were no trees within the prison or near by, and many of the men burrowed in the earth. The ration was reduced to corn-meal, and conditions became similar to those in the Eastern stockades. The last prison to be considered, Camp Groce, near Hempstead, was at first a Camp in an open field enclosed by guard lines. The number of Federal prisoners of war confined here was comparatively small, and little information regarding it is to be found in the Official Records.

of the prisons in Richmond. Without investigation, this was at once accepted as the truth, and blazoned abroad. An interesting feature of the study of the Official Records is the discovery of the origin of many of the almost universally accepted beliefs of the day. Beginning as mere Camp rumors reported to a superior officer, tederate prisoner in the North was given the same food and the same clothing as his guard has been often made and has been generally believed. A study of the Official Records shows that such was not the case. The Confederate prisoner did not in fact receive the same clothes as his captor, or the same quantity of food, except for onfederate artillery passed over them. Little or no damage was done. There are hundreds of other threats to be found in the correspondence contained in the Official Records. Prisoners were often designated as hostages for the safety of particular persons, but the extreme penalty was visited on few. Many of the threats on both s

en delayed till this time by the want of the reports of my subordinate commanders, many of whom were absent, wounded. I have at last got through with it, and feel greatly relieved, although I have made it as short and simple as possible. Official Records, serial No. 43, p. 114. I can hardly believe my letters are opened, as you suspect. I can see no object to be gained, and the crime is so heinous I cannot believe any one would be guilty of it.

Official Records, serial No. 48, p. 8. I don't know whether my report will be published, but if it is, it will make a sensation, and undoubtedly result in some official investigation. I have received a very kind letter from Cortlandt Parker (written before

The morning of August 9 found Jackson, with his whole force, pursuing his way northerly on Bayard's line of retreat towards Culpeper. Crawford's brigade then occupied a strong position on the low ground of Cedar Creek, with Bayard's cavalry in his front, and batteries on his flanks.

It was nearly ten o'clock on that morning, when, under the heat of an overpowering sun, our corps moved at a quick pace and with few halts (under orders which will be referred to hereafter) from Culpeper Court House over a shadeless, waterless road. We soon came to where Ricketts' division, of three brigades of McDowell's corps, was watching the road which turns off from the Orange Court House and Culpeper road to
