repulsed with valour attacks made on them separately. We mourn the loss of our gallant dead in every conflict, yet our gratitude to Almighty God for his mercies rises higher each day. To Him and to the valour of our troops a nation's gratitude is due. (Signed) R. E. Lee. Nothing more to-day-my heart is full. The papers give no news of the dead and wounded. The dreaded black-list yet to come. In the mean time we must let no evil forebodings mar our joy and thankfulness. September 3d, 1862. Wild stories on the street this morning, of the capture of prisoners, killing of generals, etc. Burnside and staff captured, they say. This last too good to be true. September 4th, 1862. Our victory at Manassas complete; the fight lasted four days. General Kearney was killed in a cavalry fight at Chantilly. Beautiful Chantilly has become a glorious battle-field. The splendid trees and other lovely surroundings all gone; but it is classic ground from this time. In those fig

Washington under Banks. by Richard B. Irwin, Lieutenant-Colonel and Assistant Adjutant-General, U. S. V. Heintzelman's headquarters at Alexandria. From a sketch made September 3, 1862.The 27th and 28th [of August], writes General F. A. Walker, in his admirable History of the Second Army Corps, were almost days of panic in Washington. These words mildly indicate the state into which affairs had fallen at the close of August and the opening of September, 1862, on the heels of General Pope's defeat in the Second Bull Run. Yet Washington was defended by not less than 110,000 men; for, in addition to the army which Pope was bringing back, beaten certainly, but by no means destroyed, there stood before the lines of Washington not less than 40,000 veterans who had not fired a shot in this campaign., and behind the lines 30,000 good men of the garrisons and the reserves of whom at least two-thirds were veterans in discipline, though all were untried in battle. As General McClella

amrods. We heard with delight of the plenty to be had in Maryland; judge of our disappointment when, about 2 o'clock at night, we were marched into a dank clover-field and the order came down the line, men, go into that corn-field and get your rations — and be ready to march at 5 in the morning. Don't burn any of these fencerails. of course we obeyed orders as to the corn, but, the rails suffered.--extract from a letter written by Lieut. Robert Healy, of Jackson's corps. On the 3d of September, 1862, the Federal army under General Pope having been confounded, General Lee turned his columns toward the Potomac, with Stonewall Jackson in front. On the 5th of September Jackson crossed the Potomac at Whitens Ford, a few miles beyond Leesburg. The passage of the river by the troops marching in fours, well closed up, the laughing, shouting, and singing, as a brass band in front played Maryland, my Maryland, was a memorable experience. The Marylanders in the corps imparted much of the

er to be cashiered; fourth, the Board of Officers, appointed by President Hayes, April 12th, 1878, and upon whose report, reversing the findings of the court-martial, General Porter was finally reinstated in the service. In his report of September 3d, 1862, General Pope made certain representations unfavorable to Generals Porter, Franklin, and Griffin. On the 5th, by the same order that relieved General Pope from command, the President directed that Generals Porter, Franklin, and Griffin be ntucky and Tennessee, and punishment even inflicted, as in the former, without charges, or arraignment, and without other trial. No charges preferred against General Porter by General Pope have been found, save in his official reports of September 3d, 1862, and January 27th, 1863; and General Pope testified before the court-martial that he had in fact preferred none. In his letter to General Halleck of September 30th, 1862, General Pope speaks of having laid before the Government the conduct

pending business, and directing the citizens to assemble at designated places in each ward, for military organization. It was well understood that this order was not intended to, and did not, include colored citizens. Numbers of these, however, offered themselves for any service in which they might be useful. This offer was accepted; but before any arrangement had been made for their employment, before any order had been given them, or request made of them, on the morning of the third of September, 1862, the police, acting in concert, and in obedience to some common order, in a rude and violent manner arrested the colored men wherever found — in the streets, at their places of business, in their homes — and hurried them to a mule-pen on Plum street, and thence across the river to the fortifications; giving them no explanation of this conduct, and no opportunity to prepare for camp life. This unwonted and cruel procedure filled their minds and the minds of their families with alarm
