Doc. 2.-secession reports. Report of Brigadier-General Arnold Elzey. Headquarters 4TH brigade, camp at Fairfax Station, July 25, 181. sir: In compliance with your instructions, I have the honor to make the following report of the services of my brigade during the day of the 21st. of July, 1861: The brigade left Piedmont Piedmont is a station on the Manassas Gap Railroad below Front Royal. The delay alluded to is said to have been occasioned by a collision of some empty cars. at daylight on the 21st inst., and after much delay and detention on the railroad, arrived at Manassas Junction about 12 M., when it received orders to detach a regiment to remain at the Junction to guard a weak point, and then to proceed to Lewis House, near the battle-field, and hold itself in waiting. Col. A. P. Hill's regiment, being the smallest--four companies not having come up from Piedmont — was designated for the service. Brigadier-General Smith accompanied the brigade to the battl

Doc. 102.-affairs in Richmond, Va. July, 1861. We had a very interesting interview yesterday with an intelligent gentleman who was formerly a resident of Philadelphia, but who has been living for some months in Richmond, Virginia. After many unsuccessful efforts, he was fortunate enough to secure a pass to enable him to reach the North, and he left the capital of the Old Dominion on the 9th of July. It was impossible at that time to travel on either of the direct routes, and he went to Bristol, Tennessee, where he was arrested and lodged in jail overnight, but released the next morning, after an examination by the military authorities. He then proceeded to Nashville, Tennessee, where a similar fate awaited him; but, after some difficulty, he also obtained his release there, and, proceeding direct to Louisville, met no further obstructions on his journey, via Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Harrisburg, and Lancaster, to Philadelphia. Among the causes which hastened his departure from

68. the brave at home. by T. Buchanan read. The maid who binds her warrior's sash With smile that well her pain dissembles, The while, beneath her drooping lash, One starry tear-drop hangs and trembles. Though Heaven alone records the tear, And Fame shall never know her story, Her heart has shed a drop as dear As ever dewed the field of glory. The wife who girds her husband's sword, 'Mid little ones who weep or wonder, And bravely speaks the cheering word-- What though her heart be rent asunder? Doomed, nightly, in her dreams, to hear The bolts of war around him rattle, Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er Was poured upon the plain of battle. The mother who conceals her grief, While to her breast her son she presses, Then breathes a few brave words and brief, Kissing the patriot brow she blesses; With no one but her secret God To know the pain that weighs upon her, Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod Received on Freedom's field of honor. Rome, July, 1861.

187. the rising of the people. by Elbridge Jefferson Cutler. poem delivered before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Harvard University, July, 1861. The drum's wild roar awakes the land; the fife is calling shrill; Ten thousand starry banners blaze on town, and bay, and hill; Our crowded streets are throbbing with the soldiers' measured tramp; Among our bladed corn-fields gleam the white tents of the camp. The thunders of the rising war hush labor's drowsy hum, And heavy to the ground the first dark drops of battle come. The souls of men flame up anew; the narrow heart expands; And woman brings her patient faith to nerve her eager hands. Thank God! we are not buried yet, though long in trance we lay; Thank God! the fathers need not blush to own their sons to-day. Oh! sad and slow the weeks went by; each held his anxious breath, Like one who waits, in helpless fear, some sorrow great as death. Oh! scarcely was there faith in God, nor any trust in man, While fast along the Southern

re to retain in the service of our adopted fatherland, the eminent talents of a General who, by his energetic perseverance since May, 1861, probably prevented the secession of one of the brightest stars from the Northern constellation. General Francis Sigel--crowned with the twin laurels of the Old and the New World, Baden and Missouri--is a name which fills with irresistible power each patriotic heart, whether native or adopted, with the fullest confidence and most ardent enthusiasm. In July, 1861, he covered the flag of our Union with ineffable glory at Carthage; there history wrote his New World certificate of the most eminent generalship, while the rebel banner was biting the dust. When Jackson, Price, Rains and Parsons acted the traitors to their country, we find Franz Sigel forming German regiments, and educating them defenders of this beloved land of our adoption. In reading General Sigel's report of the battle of Carthage, to General Sweeney, dated 11th July, 1861, we canno

Virginia, mortally wounded. Doc. 105.-General Barry's report of the organization of the artillery of the army of the Potomac, with some account of its operations, from July 25th, 1861, to August 29th, 1862. Washington, September 1, 1862. Brig.-General Williams, Asst. Adj.-General: General: In compliance with the orders of Major-General McClellan, I have the honor to give some account of the history, organization, and operations of the Artillery of the Army of the Potomac from July, 1861, to September, 1862, the period during which I was its chief. When Major-General McClellan was appointed to the command of the Division of the Potomac, July twenty-fifth, 1862, a few days after the first battle of Bull Run, the whole field-artillery of his command consisted of no more than parts of nine batteries, or thirty pieces of various, and, in some instances, unusual and unserviceable calibres. Most of these batteries were also of mixed calibres. My calculations were based up

owing thirty millions of dollars on bonds. The tariff was revised, and preparatory measures taken to enable the Congress to levy internal taxation at its succeeding session. These laws were passed in May, and the States of Virginia, North-Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas, having joined the Confederacy, the Congress adjourned to meet in the city of Richmond in the following month of July. Prior to the assembling of your predecessors in Richmond, at their third session, near the end of July, 1861, the President of the United States had developed, in his message, the purpose to make the contest a short and decisive one, and had called on Congress for four hundred thousand men, and four hundred millions of dollars. The Congress had exceeded the Executive recommendation, and had authorized the levy of half a million of volunteers, besides largely increasing the regular land and naval forces of the United States. The necessity thus first became urgent that a financial scheme should b

owner. In this respect, forfeitures under that act have more resemblance to cases of prize of war captured at sea as enemy's property, than to proceedings under the acts of August, 1861, and July, 1862. Such forfeitures are enforced, not so much to punish the owner for disloyal acts, as to prohibit commercial intercourse, and to weaken the public enemy, which are always efficient instruments and legitimate effects of public war. But although the remissions of forfeitures under the act of July, 1861, are thus not within the scope of the proclamation of pardon, still ample power is conferred on the Secretary of the Treasury by the eighth section of that act to mitigate or remit all forfeitures and penalties incurred under the act. And it is not to be doubted that in all proper cases under that act, where the owner of the property, residing in the territory in rebellion, complies with the conditions of the proclamation, that the Secretary of the Treasury will exercise the power of remis
