ho remained defiant in his front throughout the 18th and then retreated unmolested. Though Longstreet has expressed the opinion that at the close of the day 10,000 fresh troops could have come in and taken Lee's army and everything it had, Gen. Jacob D. Cox, of the Union army, has declared that McClellan was so impressed by the complete defeat of his own right wing that he held Porter's corps of fresh troops in reserve. Says Cox: McClellan's refusal to use them was the result of his continuedCox: McClellan's refusal to use them was the result of his continued conviction through all the day after Sedgwick's defeat that Lee was overwhelmingly superior in force, and was preparing to return a crushing blow upon our right flank. He was keeping something on hand to cover a retreat if that wing should be driven back. . . . McClellan estimated Lee's troops at nearly double their actual number. Indeed, he estimated them at much more than double their actual number, and it was this that kept him from attacking on the 18th, although he received that day 15,

they were reinforced by the Twelfth and Fiftieth Illinois from the east side of the cut. The Confederates gained two of the redoubts held by Rowett, and then surrounded this last work with a storm of fire. Tourtellotte, on the east side, though badly wounded, managed to hold his main works, while Sears fought close up to the strong position. About 10 a. m. Sherman had reached Kenesaw mountain, and seeing the smoke and hearing the artillery, signaled Corse to hold the fort, and ordered J. D. Cox's corps westward to threaten French's connection with the main Confederate army. Corse himself was severely wounded, but his men fought on under the assurance of relief, until French, early in the afternoon receiving intelligence of the threatening movement by General Cox, despaired of reducing the Federal garrison before night, and withdrew to rescue his command; but before leaving the place, he captured the blockhouse at Allatoona creek, and burned the bridge. General French reported a

General Sherman was in Washington at this time, and at Grant's request he went on Monday to the President to urge him to nominate a Secretary who would be acceptable to the Senate, so that Stanton might be legally relieved. Grant proposed General Jacob D. Cox, a former Governor of Ohio, who was a Republican, but not so outspoken in his hostility to the President as many of his party. Grant thought that this selection might bridge over the difficulty. He urged this task on Sherman because the ied with Grant's decision. Johnson indeed was always slow in arriving at a decision, while Grant was usually instantaneous in action when the crisis came. Johnson could even now not determine what to do; he did not positively decline to nominate Cox; he delayed on Sunday, and on Monday; but the Senate acted, and then Grant did exactly what he had said he would do. He gave up the office, and Stanton at once took possession. This Johnson had not intended to allow. He hoped to induce Grant t

nt in case the Senate should disapprove the action of the President. On the 11th of January, two days before the Senate decided, Grant told Sherman that he would not retain the office of Secretary of War after the disapproval of the Senate, and Sherman urged him to make known this intention promptly to the President. It was partly because of this urgency of Sherman that Grant went the same day to Johnson to announce his determination. It was also Sherman who first suggested the name of Governor Cox as a substitute, when Grant should give up the office, and Grant urged Sherman to repeat the suggestion to the President. They were thus in complete accord. Neither, at this juncture, deemed it proper that Stanton should return to his office. But Stanton resumed his place, and his first act was to send a message to Grant that the Secretary of War desired to see him. This required Grant to leave his own office on the opposite side of the street to wait on his superior. It was, to say

Cox and Hoar also finally accepted the honor tendered, but not until the former General-in-Chief discovered that he could not order eminent civilians into office as he

e morning of the battle, General Schofield, commanding the Federal army, had behind his works 23,734 infantry and artillery, and his cavalry numbered 5,500. Maj.-Gen. J. D. Cox, U. S. A., upon whose authority these figures are given, states in his history of the battle of Franklin that Hood delivered the assault on the Federal lineing a captain in command of the brigade. Brig.--Gen. John Adams, of Tennessee, was killed after leading his command up to the enemy's main line of works. Gen. Jacob D. Cox says of him: In one of the lulls between these attacks, when the smoke was so thick that one could see a very little way in front, the officers of the line dng. Of this number, 1,104 were captured by the Confederates, about 600 of them by Brown and Cleburne from the enemy's line in advance of his intrenchments. Gen. J. D.

insult, to attack and overcome the rebel forces under Jackson and Ewell, and render the most effective aid to relieve General McClellan and capture Richmond. Under date of the 14th of July, General Pope in an address to his army said: I have come to you from the West, where we have always seen the backs of our enemies; I presume that I have been called here to pursue the same system. Pope had under his command 77,779 men of all arms, soon reinforced by Burnside's command with 12,000, and by Cox from the Kanawha with 6,000. McClellan's army, strong and well appointed, remained inactive for a month. On the 13th of July, General Jackson was ordered to Gordonsville, Pope's advance having reached the Rapidan. A. P. Hill, with his division, was ordered on July 27th to join General Jackson. On the 21st of July, Pope, writing to Banks, one of his corps commanders, said, Let Bayard amuse Ewell with cavalry. He felt himself master of the situation until on the morning of the 9th of Aug
