led in the Union army, and hundreds of them were in the city of Washington. The legislature authorized a loan of $3,000,000 for war purposes. The States of the West and Northwest were equally enthusiastic, and within a few days after the President's call thousands of volunteers were on the way to Washington. Immediately after the battle at Bull Run energetic measures were taken to place defenses around the city of Washington that should make it absolutely secure from attack. Gen. George B. McClellan had been called to the chief command of the forces at and near Washington. With the assistance of Majors Barry and Barnard he projected a series of fortifications at prominent elevated points, and the two officers named were detailed to construct them. Not an eminence near the capital was long without a fortification upon it. So vigorously was the enterprise prosecuted that in the course of a few months not less than fifty-two of these military works were Map showing the defence

nguage and dealt with things in which the humblest citizens could feel interest. Other important books of similar nature were: William Tecumseh Sherman's Memoirs (2 vols., 1875); Philip Henry Sheridan's Personal memoirs (2 vols., 1888); George Brinton McClellan's My own story (1887); and Charles Anderson Dana's Recollections of the Civil War (1898). Apart from all other works on the Civil War is that which appeared with the title Abraham Lincoln, a history (10 vols., 1890), by John George Ninervousness caused by the many Copperhead papers opposed to the war, friendly to the South, or unfriendly to the government, led to much official criticism of mere news enterprise and to acts of suppression by the authorities. For instance General McClellan requested the War Department to suppress the New York Times for printing a map of the works and a statement of forces beyond the Potomac, no part of which had, in fact, come from other than public sources.

. Something was now to be done to prevent any evil consequences to the Confederacy from the anticipated effects of the American election. They thought that if the wires flashed over Europe from this great moneyed centre the fact that the news of the election of Lincoln had raised the price of American stocks, it would seriously injure Confederate credit and create despondency among their English sympathizers. The rebels and their friends had long prophesied a great fall in gold after McClellan should be elected, and that, as a result of his election, we should see a peaceful separation of the South from the North, and a lasting peace and friendship existing between them. Some of our bankers here had almost made up their minds that it was better for the country to have Lincoln defeated. They therefore hoped for this result, and that, after his defeat, the Democratic cry of an armistice and immediate cessation of hostilities would be realized, and that, as a consequence, America
