ETERNAL JUSTICE The man is thought a knave or fool, or bigot, plotting crime, Who, for advancement of his kind, Is wiser than his time. For him the hemlock shall distil; For him the axe be bared; For him the gibbet shall be built; For him the stake prepared. Him shall the scorn and wrath of me Pursue with deadly aim; And envy, malice, spite and lies, Shall decorate his name. But truth shall conquer at the last, For round and round we run And ever the right comes uppermost, And ever is justice done. Pace through they cell, old Socrates, Cherrily to and fro; Trust to the impulse of the soul And let the poison flow.

36 EMANCIPATION AND COLONIZATION. more value to the States and private persons concerned than are the institution and property in it, in the present aspect of affairs? While it is true that the adoption of the proposed resolution would be merely initiatory, and not within itself a practical measure, it is recommended in the hope that it would soon lead to important practical results. In full view of my great responsibility to my God and to my country, I earnestly beg the attention of Congress and the people to the subject. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. WASHINGTON, March 6, 1862. JOINT RESOLUTION declaring that the United States ought to co-operate with, affording pecuniary aid to, any State which may adopt the gradual abolishment of slavery. Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the United States ought to co-operate with any State which may adopt gradual abolishment of slavery, giving to such State pecuniary aid, to be used by such State in its discretion, to compensate for the inconveniences, public and private, produced by such change of system. Approved April 10, 1862. No. 2. MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, TRANSMITTING A DRAFT OF A BILL TO COMPENSATE ANY STATE WHICH MAY ABOLISH SLAVERY WITHIN ITS LIMITS, AND RECOMMENDING ITS PASSAGE. Fellow-citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives: Herewith is a draft of a bill to compensate any State which may abolish slavery within its limits, the passage of which, substantially as presented, I respectfully and earnestly recommend. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. JULY 14, 1862. A BILL providing for the payment of persons held to service or labor liberated by any State. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That whenever the President of the United States shall be satisfied that any State shall have lawfully abolished slavery within and throughout such State, either immediately or gradually, it shall be the duty of the President, assisted by the Secretary of the Treasury, to prepare and deliver to such State an amount of six per cent. interest-bearing bonds of the United States, equal to the aggregate value, at $-------- dollars per head, of all the slaves within such State, as reported by the census of the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty; the whole amount for any one State to be delivered at once, if the abolishment be immediate, or in equal annual instalments, if it be gradual; interest to begin running on each bond at the time of its delivery, and not before. And be it further enacted, That if any State, having so received any such bonds, shall, at any time afterwards, by law reintroduce or tolerate slavery within its limits, contrary to the act of abolishment upon which such bonds

It follows that the Buddhists do not believe in war and are what we call "conscientious objectors." It is a pity that some of the other great faiths did not join in this application of "Thou shall not kill." The thinking, however, is strictly founded on superstition and false beliefs.

WAR POWERS OF CONGRESS. 53 The following extract is from 1 Kent's Com., p. 59-- "But however strong the current authority in favor of the modern and milder construction of the rule of national law on this subject, the point seems to be no longer open for discussion in this country; and it has become definitively settled in favor of the ancient and sterner rule by the Supreme Court of the United States. Brown v. United States, 8 Cranch, 110; ibid. 228, 229. "The effect of war on British property found in the United States on land, at the commencement of the war, was learnedly discussed and thoroughly considered in the case of Brown, and the Circuit Court of the United States at Boston decided as upon a settled rule of the law of nations, that the goods of the enemy found in the country, and all vessels and cargoes found afloat in our ports at the commencement of hostilities, were liable to seizure and confiscation; and the exercise of the right vested in the discretion of the sovereign of the nation. "When the case was brought up on appeal before the Supreme Court of the United States, the broad principle was assumed that war gave to the sovereign the full right to take the persons and confiscate the property of the enemy wherever found; and that the mitigations of this rigid rule, which the wise and humane policy of modern times had introduced into practice, might, more or less, affect the exercise of the right, but could not impair the right itself. "Commercial nations have always considerable property in possession of their neighbors; and when war breaks out, the question, What shall be done with enemy property found in the country? is one rather of policy than of law, and is one properly addressed to the consideration of the legislature, and not to the courts of law. "The strict right of confiscation of that species of property existed in Congress, and without a legislative act authorizing its confiscation it could not be judicially condemned; and the act of Congress in 1812 declaring war against Great Britain was not such an act. Until some statute directly applying to the subject be passed, the property would continue under the protection of the law, and might be claimed by the British owner at the restoration of peace. "Though this decision established the right contrary to much of modern authority and practice, yet a great point was gained over the rigor and violence of the ancient doctrine, by making the exercise of the right depend upon a special act of Congress." From the foregoing authorities, it is evident that the

-6- Many writers have called women "the practical sex". I hope that when we act as voters, we shall live up to this name. The City Suffrage Party through its Civic Survey Committee is going to help us all to have a good idea of the actual conditions, political and social, that surround us in our various Assembly Districts. It is not enough to know about party platforms, about our candidates, we must also know what things need changing, what need our continued support, how officials and parties work out in practical fashion the theories they advocate. David Starr Jordan has always said that men have the long range of vision, and women the short, that men are more interested in natural and international matters than in local affairs, while women take more interest in what goes on in their backyards, streets, districts and city. For this reason, women may supplement men and make our government which is strong nationally and weak municipally, strong at every point. The Civic Survey Committee will help us to perfect our "short range of vision," so that we shall see clearly and intelligently just what the conditions are that affect our lives and homes. Thus we can see from this brief summing up that we have a full program to carry out as members of the New York City Woman Suffrage Party. When an army captures a city or a country, it does not rest idle. It makes new laws, and institutions, through new labors and activities, it gets a strong hold on the region of which it has taken possession. We have won a land called Political Emancipation. Now we must work harder than ever before to be worthy of its occupancy. Does this make some of you who have toiled for years sigh? Phillips Brooks has said: "Do not pray for easy lives, pray to be stronger men, do not pray for tasks equal to your powers, pray for powers equal to your tasks."

(Continued from page 36) had endeared himself since the conflict ended. Only Saturday the Field Marshal made a public appearance as a patriot at a review of Boy Scouts, counseling the youngsters: "Always play the game. Stand up for England when people speak disrespectfully of her. Try to realize what public service and citizenship really mean." The King, the Prince of Wales, and such comrades of the World War as David Lloyd George and Marshal Foch of France, joined to-day in expressions of grief at the passing of the man who was the personification of British courage, a courage which proved unconquerable in the days when the fate of the world, threatened by militaristic rule, hung in the balance. Earl Haig had been in ill health, and recently consulted doctors as to what he should do before he and Lady Haig left for a sojourn on the Riviera. Now his body, wrapped in the Union Jack, lies here awaiting a nation's homage, and above it is a wreath of crimson poppies from Flanders Field, the mournful tribute of the British Legion, to which Haig stood in a paternal role. Earl Haig was sixty-six years old. During the day yesterday he had been in exceptionally buoyant spirits, seeming in fine health, and took a walk in Hyde Park. Shortly after midnight his brother, Captain Haig, and his brother-in-law, W.G. Jameson, heard strange noises in the Field Marshal's room. They found him lying on the floor, partially undressed. Apparently he had been seized with a heart attack, called for help, and then collapsed before any one could reach him. The household was immediately roused, and the butler called a doctor, but the man who had led the British troops to victory in the World War and thereafter proved the most influential and best friend of the British veterans, had passed away. Throughout to-day hundreds of telegrams arrived at his Princes Gate, Hyde Park, home, conveying condolences to Lady Haig. IN MEMORY OF EDITH CAVELL Earl Haig and Earl Beatty representing England's Army and Navy, visiting the grave of the martyred nurse. The literary Digest for February 18, 1928 41 She was not there but in Scotland, where their ten-year-old son born just before his father's greatest victory, in March, 1918 when he repelled the German smash toward the Channel ports, lies sick. The boy will inherit the title. In addition to this son, the Earl leaves three daughters, the eldest of whom is twenty-one years, and the youngest nine. Lloyd George, the war Premier, paid this tribute to the departed solider to-night: "He was a great patriot and a great gentleman. He faithfully carried out every policy laid down for him, whether he liked it or not, and especially showed his quality when he decided upon unity of command, and the British Army was placed under Marshal Foch. He was a man of unfailing courage and tenacity of purpose, who never lost heart during the worst moments of the war. "One must admire the way he fought after the war in the cause of the men who stood by him in France, through his work for ex-service men." It was this post war work of Haig which chiefly endeared him to the British public. The official medical statement on Earl Haig's death reads, according to an Associated Press dispatch: "The cause of death was sudden heart failure, the result of the effects of the war and previous tropical and campaigning services on the heart muscles." A post-mortem examination was conducted, and it was decided that no inquest was necessary. The King sent a personal message of condolence to Lady Haig, and in a court circular issued from Sandringham to-night, the Field Marshal's death is thus referred to: "The King knows that the sudden and irreparable loss of this valuable life will be deeply felt throughout the whole empire by the Army, and more especially by Lord Haig's old comrades, to whose welfare he had devoted himself since the close of the Great War." He was a member of the ancient and aristocratic family of Haig of Bemersyde, in Berwickshire,, which like many other Scottish clans, rose from the quarrels of Bruce and Baliol, relates The Herald Tribune, continuing: Once established, the family was represented wherever the history of Scotland and, later, of England was being made. Haigs fought under Clive, Marlborough, and Wellington. In more peaceful times they were distillers, and prospered at the business through several centuries. Douglas Haig was educated at Clifton, and at Brasenose College, Oxford, and then joined the Seventh Hussar Regiment of the British Army - that army, the "Old Contemptibles," which he was destined to lead to victory over the greatest military power the world ever had known. His first field service was performed in the Sudan, when he Celebrating the King's Birthday in Hyde Park. Haig, the cavalryman, is here seen to the best pictorial advantage at a brilliant "trooping of the colors" after the war.

[*267*] SANITATION IN THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS SINCE AMERICAN OCCUPATION, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO REDUCTION IN MORTALITY BY ELIMINATION OF INTESTINAL PARASITES, ESPECIALLY UNCINARIA VICTOR G. HEISER, M.D. Passed Assistant Surgeon, Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service; Chief Quarantine Officer and Director of Health for the Philippine Islands and Professor of Hygiene, Philippine Medical School MANILA, P.I. In response to the kind invitation of the Association to prepare a paper on tropical sanitation, it was not considered amiss to give a brief description of the work which has been done in the Philippine Islands, in order that the profession at home may be in a position to judge whether the same high standard achieved in Cuba and Panama and other American tropical possessions nearer home has been reached there. The Philippine Islands are so far away from the United States and it so frequently happens that conditions there are not known that I will take the liberty of giving a brief description of the islands as they appeared at the time the United States took possession of them. GEOGRAPHY OF THE ISLANDS The group is composed of about three thousand islands and extends from 21º 25' latitude to 4º 45' latitude, and from 116º to 127º longitude, has an area greater that the states of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Maryland, and has a coast line equal to that of the United States. There are two prevailing winds during the year, one known as the northeast monsoon, which blows almost continuously from November to April, and the other known as the southwest monsoon, which blows from April to November, the latter being the period during which the destructive typhoons occur. These conditions produce a climate which varies greatly

Philadelphia. Of the 133 assigned to my company, 58 were present to be mustered out. Of the 35 field and line officers who joined the regiment at its organization, only 14 were mustered out with it at Philadelphia. Twenty-one had gone out through death, discharge, or promotion. Among all the officers who served in this regiment from first to last, I was the only Democrat, so far as my knowledge extended on that subject. But politics cut no figure. The subject was never mentioned, and no one in the regiment knew what my politics were, as far as I ever learned. CHAPTER IV ISAAC SMITH Few Pennsylvanians having a fair knowledge of the public men of the state, are strangers to the name of Thaddeus Stevens. He was born in Vermont in 1793, and graduated from Dartmouth College in 1814. Soon after leaving college he came to Pennsylvania, locating at York, where he sustained himself by teaching school while he read law. In 1833 he was elected to the legislature, remaining a member thereof until 1838, when he was appointed a canal commissioner for the state. In 1842 he removed to Lancaster, devoting himself closely to the practice of law until 1848, when he was elected to congress, and remained a member thereof until his death in 1868. He was one of the ablest men in congress during the period of the civil war, and the three years following its close, taking an active interest in all measures presented for the emancipation of the negro, and for putting him in the field as a soldier. He was chairman of the managers appointed by the lower house of congress to present before the Senate the articles of impeachment against President Andrew Johnson. But what has this to do with Isaac Smith? Not much, only that Isaac's mother was Thaddeus Stevens' colored housekeeper, of whom much was said and written after Mr. Stevens' death. Well, Isaac felt that he wanted to help put down the rebellion, and so he enlisted as a soldier in 1963, in July, and got to Camp William Penn in time to be put into the 6th U. S. Colored Troops, and along with ninety-nine others, most of them better soldiers than himself, was placed in Company D. Isaac's mother was a devout Catholic, and like all good mothers who belong to the church, tried to bring up her son in her own religion

Southerners shuddered. For decades they had been defending their "peculiar institution" of slavery against the ever-increasing attacks of Northern abolitionists, but anti-slavery agitation had always followed a course of non-violence. Then Brown had come with his pikes and guns to change all that. In the false atmosphere of crisis that gripped the South in the wake of the raid, the small voices of moderates were lost in the din of extremists who saw Brown's act as part of a vast Northern conspiracy to instigate servile insurrections throughout the slave States. To meet this threat, real or imagined, vigilance committees were formed, volunteer military companies were organized, and more and more Southerners began to echo the sentiments of the Richmond Enquirer: "If under the form of a Confederacy our peace is disturbed, our State invaded, its peaceful citizens cruelly murdered...by those who should be our warmest friends...and the people of the North sustain the outrage, then let disunion come." Disunion sentiment increased during the presidential campaign of 1860, stimulated by a split in the Democratic Party that practically guaranteed a Republican victory in the November elections. When Abraham Lincoln was elected President, the secessionist movement could no longer be contained. On December 20, unable to tolerate a President "whose opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery," South Carolina severed her ties with the Union. By February 1, 1861, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas had followed her lead. One week later the Confederate States of America was formed at Montgomery, Ala., and the country drifted slowly toward civil war. Before many months had passed, soldiers in blue would be marching south to the tune of "John Brown's Body" as if to fulfill the prophecy Brown had left in a note to one of his Charles Town guards shortly before the execution: Charlestown, Va, 2nd December, 1859 I John Brown am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty, land: will never be purged away; but with Blood. I had as I now think: vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed; it might be done. 60

I heard no gay and cheerful voice that once was there to greet me- No! all looked sad and cheerless!= The yard looked gloomy, and everything showed the signs of age and neglect- Father was with me, and seemed to regret that all had passed away like a dream- He spoke of the happy days we once had had, and seemed melancholy and thoughtful- He pointed out the old school house you attended, the drug store at which we bought our bon bons and in fact every spot which awakened reminiscencies of the past- Oh dear Sister how often do I think of you; and how I long to have you with me- The other night we attended the Opera, and there saw many beautiful demoiselles decked in their most beautiful attires- How often we spoke of and wished you with us- Never mind dear Sister we will soon return and be happy again though I shall always regret not having had you here with me- There is not a day we do not think of you at 232 "Osborn 42"

to the Infantry. Each arm and service was headed by a Chief on the special staff level. The Army school system was improved, particularly in the tactical field, and new schools were established. Notable among these were the Air Corps schools and the Army Industrial College, established in 1924. Placed on a firm basis was the Officer Reserve Corps. Extension courses were introduced for inactive duty training, and limited active duty tours were inaugurated. Citizens Military Training Camps were established and the Reserve Officers Training Corps program enlarged. By 1935 enlisted strength of the Regular Army reached a low of 118,000. Because of progressively dwindling appropriations, most of the Army's work during the period was theoretical rather than applied. The Army did, however, effectively utilize its limited available funds, which dipped to $277 million in 1934. Great emphasis was given to joint planning, mobilization planning, military organization, training literature, boards for improvement of equipment, the higher education of officer personnel, preservation of division- sized units, and in general the modernization of the Army plant. Unfortunately, resources available to the Army were not increased when foreign policy began to shift after 1932. Instead, under impact of the depression, the Army was virtually demobilized and given only a paramilitary mission with the Civilian Conservation Corps and various relief agencies. 1939-45: WORLD WAR II By the late 1930's realistic plans for mobilizing American manpower and industry had been evolved.

Catacombs, Etc. To the Editor of "The Press." Sir:-Kindly tell me where the cata- combs of Rome and Paris were "built" or dug; by whom and for what purpose. Also, whose bones they contain and for what reason? Is there any special rea- son for the preservation and exhibition of these grewsome remains of poor hu- manity? How are these "dry bones" prepared? Are they first buried and resurrected again or are they boiled or otherwise treated to divest them of their flesh? Is there anything offensive in smell to visitors to these gloomy cham- bers except the sight and hideous sur- roundings? N.L.W. Hammonton, N. J., Oct. 26, 1911 It is impossible to give any data of the erection of the catacombs at Rome, Paris, or, in fact, at any place where they are located. Those in Paris were original quarries which had existed upon the city from the earliest time. In 1774 the Council of State issued a decree for clearing the Cemetery of the Innocents and for removing its contents, as well as those of other graveyards, into these quarries. These quarries-or catacombs, as they were called-were consecrated with great solemnity on April 7, 1786, and the work of removal from the cemeteries was immediately begun. The bones were brought at night in funeral cars, covered with a pall, and followed by priests, chanting the service of the dead. At first the bones were heaped up without any kind of order except that those from each cemetery were kept separate, but in 1810 a regular sys- tem of arranging them was commenced, and the skulls and bones were built up along the wall. From the main entrance to the catacombs, which is near the Barriers d'Enfer, a flight of ninety steps descends, at whose foot galleries are seen branching in various directions. Some yards distant is a vestibule of octagonal form, which opens into a long gallery lined with bones from floor to roof. The arm, leg and thigh bones are in front, closely and regularly piled, and their uniformity is relieved by three rows of skulls at equal distances. This gallery conducts to several rooms re- sembling chapels, lined with bones vari- ously arranged. One is called the "Tomb of the Revolution," another the "Tomb of Victims"-the latter containing the relics of those who perished in the early period of the Revolution and in the "massacre of September." It is esti- mated that the remains of fully three million human beings lie in this re- ceptacle. Owing to the unsafe condition of the roof admission to the catacombs has been forbidden for years. Of the other catacombs in existence, the most cele- brated are those on the Via Appia, at a short distance from Rome, where, it is believed , the early Christians were in the habit of retiring in order to cele- brate their new worship in times of persecution. These catacombs consist of long, narrow galleries, usually about eight feet high and five feet wide, which twist and turn in all directions, very much resembling mines, and at irregular intervals into wide and lofty vaulted chambers. The graves, where are buried many of the saints and martyrs of the primitive church, were constructed by hollowing out of a portion of the rock at the side of the gallery large enough to contain a body. The catacombs at Naples cut into the Capo di Monte, resemble those at Rome, and evidently were used for the same purpose, being in many parts literally covered with Christian symbols. In one of the large vaulted chambers there are paintings which have retained a freshness which is won- derful. Similar catacombs have been found at Palermo and Syracuse, and in Greece, Asia Minor, Syria, Persia, Egypt and in Peru and other parts of South America. The flesh of the bones has been dried and decayed through the many cen- turies since burial that nothing remains but the bones, and there is an absence of any odor other than that arising from the dampness of these under- ground vaults. THE foundation stones of all literature, of whatever type, class or period, are the twenty-six letters of the alaphabet-the A, B, C's of our stripling days, and of all the building blocks of childhood. This collection of symbols-really a growth-numbers twice a baker's dozen. Some genius of a mathematician has figured that these twenty-six letters may be transposed 620,448,401,733,239,369,000 times. Perhaps he made this calculation for the special purpose of offering crumbs of encouragement to budding or near-au- thors, who, lacking breadth of vocabulary, are often given to entertaining fears lest the language prove too inelastic for the full expression of their crowding thoughts! At any rate, the producer of these un- thinkable figures has given us a certain sort of food for thought. If, with twenty-six letters, such a vast number of combinations be possible, how much may be done and in how many different directions, by men and women possessed of even so few as a dozen small abilities! Provided sincere effort is made to com- bine these small powers in behalf of what is worth while! Ever since the chance opening of a vol- ume of Victor Hugo's letters to his wife revealed to me alphabetical wonders of which I had never so much as dreamed, a new interest has attached to the gay- colored blocks with which my little ones build castles of questionable architecture and brief endurance. In that collection of epistles such as few wives have been privileged to receive from absent husbands, is one written on a certain 24th of September-year unknown -at 7 o'clock in the morning. It is dated 'On the road to Aix-les-Bains," and is so unusual and illuminating that it seems a duty, as well as a pleasure, to repro- duce it. Here, then, is Hugo's description of the alphabet: In the distance, along the green and rugged crests of the Jura, the yellow beds of dried torrents in all directions made Y's. Have you ever noticed what a pic- turesque letter Y is, with its number- less significations? A tree is a Y; the parting of two roads is a Y; the confluence of two rivers is a Y; an ass's or ox's head is a Y; a glass as it stands on its foot is a Y; a lily on its stem is a Y; a sup- pliant raising his hands to heaven is a Y. Moreover, this observation may be more broadly applied to whatever con- stitutes human writing in last analysis. Whatever is found in the demotic lan- guage has been infused into it by the hieratic language. The hieroglyph is the compelling cause of the letter. All letters were signs at first, and all signs were images at first. Human society, the world, man as a whole, is in the alphabet. Masonry, astronomy, philosophy, all the sciences have here their point of departure. It is imperceptible, but real; and this is as it should be. The alphabet is a fountain. A is the roof, the gable with its cross beam, the arch, arx; or it is the em- brace of two friends, who kiss each other with hands clasped; D is the back; B is the D over the D, the back over the back, the relief, the boss; C is the crescent, it is the moon; E is the basement, the right foot, the con- sole and the stem, the architrave; all ceiling architecture is here expressed in a single letter; F is the gibbet, the fork, furca; G is the horn; H is the facade of the edifice, with its two towers; I is the engine of war shoot- ing forth its projectile; J is the plough-share; it is also the horn of plenty; K is the angle of relfection equal to the angle of incidence,-one of the keys of geometry; L is the leg and the foot; M is the mountain, or it is the camp, the tents standing in pairs; N is the door, closed with its diagonal bar; O is the sun; P is the porter, standing with his load on his back; Q is the hind-quarters with the tail; R is repose,-the porter resting on his staff; S is the serpent; T is the ham- mer; U is the urn; V is the vase (hence it comes that the two are frequently confounded); Y is what I have just told you; X is the crossed swords, it is combat; who will be the victor? no one knows; hence the hermetic philosophers took X for the sign of destiny; the algebraists for the sign of the unknown; Z is the lightning, it is God. Thus we have, first, the house of man and its architecture; then the body of man, its structure and its deformities, then justice, music, the church; war, harvest, geometry; the mountain; the nomadic life, the cloistered life; as- tronomy; labor and repose; the horse and the serpent; the hammer and the urn; which, when turned top-side down and joined together, make the bell; trees, rivers, roads; finally destiny and God,-that is what the alphabet contains. It may also be that for some of these mysterious contrivers of the languages that lie at the very base of the human memory and which the human memory forgets, the A, the E, the F, the H, the I, the K, the L, the M, the N, the T, the V, the Y, the X and the Z, were nothing else than the various members of the framework of the temple. So ends this remarkable letter; this un- paralleled treatise on something one is apt to regard as wholly commonplace and without special meaning. It is the special province of genius to uplift the commonplace and illumine the ordinary, making of them what this mas- ter has made of the score-and-six sym- bols with which the masses toy, -trivial- ly, for the most part.

1862-'63.] Document No. 1 I published an appeal to our people in behalf of their brothers in the field, and employed the militia officers for the collection of articles donated or sold; and though the response has been at once gratifying and patriotic, yet it is necessarily slow and uncertain; and I regret to say that the heroes of Boonsboro', Sharpsburg and other glorious fields, have suffered and are still suffering greatly for the wants of shoes and clothing. Every possible effort has been made for their relief; but while the agents of the Confederacy are allowed to carry our leather beyond our borders, it will be impossible to supply them. I earnestly recommend an embargo upon this article, as before mentioned. I am gratified that I am able to state that the prospect of obtaining cotton cloths at reasonable rates, is better than it has been. The stockholders of the Rockfish manufacturing company, one of the largest and most enterprising in the State, have agreed to sell all their productions at 75 per cent upon cost, the rate allowed by the exemption bill, which will reduce the price about one-half; and some even or eight other companies have intimated an intention of following their praiseworthy example. We may reasonably hope that most of the other mills in the State can be induced to be likewise. The woolen factories seem more incorrigible. Some of them when asked to furnish their goods at 75 per cent. declined entirely, and others agree to do so by fixing enormous profits on the cost of the raw material and then adding the 75 per cent. on the finished article, making their profits even greater than before. It is greatly to be regretted that these most useful and to-be-cherished institutions should put themselves in a position, which will cause them to be execrated by our people on the return of peace. But as the free trade policy oppressed them in the time of peace, so they seem determined to have no mercy upon us during the existence of the war. I recommend them to your tender mercies gentlemen, and would respectfully suggest that you adopt such measures as may seem practicable for securing supplies to our ci-

They admitted themselves to be inferiors; we barely acknowledge the whites as equals-perhaps not in every particular. They lamented their irrecoverable fate, and incapacity to redeem themselves and their race. We rejoice that, as their sons, it is our happy lot and high mission to accomplish that which they desired and would have done, but failed for want of ability to do. Let no intelligent man or woman, then, among us be found at the present day exulting in the degradation that our enslaved parents would gladly have rid themselves had they have had the intelligence and qualifications to accomplish their designs. Let none be found to shield themselves behind the plea of our brother bondmen in ignorance ; that we know not mkat to do, nor rolere to go. We are no longer slaves, as were our fathers, but freemen, fully qualified to meet our oppressors in every relation which belong to the elevation of man, the establishment. sustenance, and perpetuity of a nation. And such a position, by the help of God, our common Father, we are determined to lake and maintain. There is but one question prescuts itself for our serious consideration, upon which we must give a decisive reply: Will we tranernit, ad an inheritance to our children, the blessing of unrestricted civil liberty, or ball we entail upon them, as our only political legacy, the degradation and oppression left us by our fathers? Shall we be persuaded that we can live and power nowhere but under the authority and power of our North American white oppressors; that this (the United States) is the country most, If not the only one, favorable to our improvement and progress? Are we willing to admit that we are incapable of self improvement, establishing for ourselves such political privileges, and making such internal improvements as we delight to enjoy after American white men have male them for themselves? No! Neither is it true that the United States is the country best adapted to our improvement, But that country is the best in which our manhood, morally, mentally, and physically, can be best developed; in which we have an untrammeled right to the enjoyment of civil and religious liberty : and the West Indies, Central and South America present now such advantages superiorly preferable to all other countries. That the continent of America was designed by Providence as a reserved asylum for the various oppressed people of the earth, of all races, seems very apparent. From the earliest period after the discovery various nations sent a representative here, either as adventurers and speculators, or employed laborers, seamen, or soldiers, hired to work for their employers. And among the earliest and most numerous classes who found their way to the New World were those of the African race. And it has been ascertained, to our minds beyond a doubt, that when the continent was discovered there were found in the West Indies and Central America tribes of the black race, fine looking people, having the usual characteristics of color and hair, identifying them as being originally of the African race; no doubt being a remnant of the Africans who, with the Carthaginian expedition, were adventitionely east upon this continent in their memorable adventure to the « Great island," after suiling many miles distant to the west of the " Pillar of Hercules," the present Straits of Gibraltar. We would not be thought to be superstitious when we say that in all this we can " see the finger of God." Is it not worthy of a notice here, that while the ingress of foreign whites to this continent has been voluntary and constant, and that at the black involuntary and but occasional, yet the whites in the southern part have decreased in number, degenerated in character, and become mentally and physically enervated? and imbecile: while the blacks and colored people have steadily, increased in numbers, regenerated in character, and have grown mentally and physically vigorous and active, developing every function of their manhood, and are now, in their elementary character, decidedly superior to the white race? So, then, the white race could never successfully occupy

(From a contemporary lithograph.) experience. En route some were stricken with seasickness, but upon arrival all were able to begin immediately the march of some twenty miles up the Peninsula to a camp just below the historic village of Yorktown. Here Ames's men spent their first night on Virginia soil. Here, except for minor forays, they were to remain until the latter part of April, 1864. (10) Meanwhile, other colored troops were arriving on the Peninsula and in November Major General Benjamin F. Butler was assigned to command the 18th Army Corps and the Department of Virginia and North Carolina. Butler's assignment was part of a reorganization of the Union forces in the east, preparatory to a giant offensive against the Confederacy's capital city of Richmond. The 4th and 5th regiments of colored troops were now brigaded with the 6th. All three were assigned to Colonel Samuel A. Duncan and placed in Butler's 18th Army Corps. (11) Little company and regimental drill had been possible at Camp Penn. Consequently the men of the 6th Regiment were still raw recruits when they reached Virginia. During the first two months after their arrival Ames and his company commanders taught their troops the rudiments of military living. The weary round of camp life consisted of guard mounting in the morning, the interminable tramp of sentinels on their beats, the marching of men (10) Recollections, 5-7; Benjamin Quarles, The Negro in the Civil War (Boston, 1953), 186-187; Binder, "Pennsylvania Negro Regiments in the Civil War," loc. cit., 398; Bates, History of Pennsylvania Volunteers, V, 953.

The 4th, 5th, and 6th regiments, however, were generally kept together.

PUNISHMENT OF TREASON. 93 CHAPTER V. RIGHT OF CONGRESS TO DECLARE BY STATUTE THE PUNISHMENT OF TREASON, AND ITS CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS. TREASON. THE highest crime known to the law is treason. It is "the sum of all villanies;" its agents have been branded with infamy in all countries where fidelity and justice have respect. The name of one who betrays his friend becomes a byword and a reproach. How much deeper are the guilt and infamy of the criminal who betrays his country! No convict in our State prisons can have fallen so low as willingly to associate with a TRAITOR. there is no abyss of crime so dark, so horrible, as that by which the traitor has descended. He has left forever behind him conscience, honor, and hope. ANCIENT ENGLISH DOCTRINE OF CONSTRUCTIVE TREASON. Treason, as defined in the law of England, at the date of the constitution, embraced many misdemeanors which are not now held to be crimes. Offences of a political character, not accompanied with any intention to subvert the government; mere words of disrespect to the ruling sovereign; assualts upon the king's officers at certain times and places; striking one of the judges in court; and many other acts which did not partake of the nature of treason, were, in ancient times, declared treason by Parliament, or so construed by judges, as to constitute that crime. Indeed, there was nothing to

Las Novedades PAX ANIMAE. -- Despues de leer a dos poetas. Manuel Guiterrez Najera (Mexico). Ni una palabra de dolor blasfemo! Se altivo, se gallardo en la aida, Y ve, poeta, con desdén supremo Todas las injusticias de la vida! No busques la constancia en los amores, No pidas nada eterno a los mortales, Y haz, artista, con todos tus dolores Excelsos monumentos sepulcrales. En marmol blanco tus estatuas labra, Castas en la actitud, aunque desnudas, Y que duerma en sus labios la palabra... Y se muestren muy tristes... pero mudas! El nombre!... Debil vibracion sonora Que dura apenas un instante! El nombre!... Idolo torpe que el Huso adora! Ultima y triste vanidad del hombre! A que pedir justicia ni clemencia -- Si las niegan los propios compañeros -- A la glacial y muda indiferencia De los desconcidos venideros? A que pedir la compasión tardia De los extraños que la sombra esconde? Duermen los ecos en la selva umbria Y nadie, nadie a nuestro voz responde! En esta vida el unico consuelo Es acordarse de las horas bellas, Y alzar los ojos para ver el cielo... Cuando el cielo esta azul o tiene estrellas. Huir del mar y en el dormido lago Disgrutar de las ondas el reposo... Dormir... sonar... el Sueno, nuestro mago. Es un sublime y santo mentiroso! Ay! Es verdad que en el honrado pecho Pide venganza la reciente herida... Pero... perdona el mal que te hayan hecho! Perdonalos, no saben lo que hacen! Acaso esos instintos herardaron, Y son los dolor, para la muerte nacen... De razas o de estirpes que pasaron Acumulando todos los rencores. Eres acaso el juez? El impecable? Tu la justicia y la piedad reúnes? ... Que no es un fugitivo responsable De alguno o muchos crímenes impunes? Quien no ha mentido amor y ha profanado De una alma virgen el sagrario augusto? Quein esta cierto de no haber matado? Quien pude ser el justiciero, el justo? Lastimas y perdón para los vivos! Y asi, de amor y mansedumbre llenos, Seremos cariñosos, compasivos... Y alguna vez, acaso buenos! Padeces? Busca a la gentil amante, A la impasible e immortal belleza, Y ve apoyado, como Lear errante, En tu joven Cordelia: la tristeza. Mira: se aleja perezoso el dia... Que bueno es descansar! El bosque obscuro Nos arrulla con languida armonia... El agua es virgen. El ambiente es puro. La luz, cansada, sus pupilas cierra; Se escuchan melancólicos rumores, Y la noche, al bajar, dice a la tierra: -- Vamos... ya esta... ya duérmete... no llores! Recordar... Perdonar... Haber amado... Ser dichoso un instante, haber creído... Y luego... reclinarse fatigado En el hombro de nieve del olvido. Sentir eternamente la ternura Que en nuestras fechas jóvenes palpita, Y recibir, si llega, la ventura, Como a hermos que viene de visita. Siempre escondido lo que mas amamos; Siempre en los labios el perdón risueño; Hasta que al fin, oh tierra! a ti vayamos Con la invencibi laxitud del sueno! Esa ha de ser la vida del que piensa En lo fugaz de todo lo que mira, Y se detiene, sabio, ante la inmensa Extension de tus mares, oh Mentira! Coje las flores, mientras haya flores, Perdona las espina a las rosas... También se van y vuelan los dolores Como turbas de negras mariposas! Ama y perdona. Con valor resiste Lo injusto, lo villano, lo cobarde... Hermosamente pensativa y triste Esta la caer la silenciosa tarde! Cuando el dolor mi espíritu sombrea Busco en las cimas claridad y calma, Y una infinita compasión albea En las heladas cumbres de mi alma! Speak not a word of wild, blaspheming grief! Be proud, be brave, though fallen in the strife! And gaze, o poet, with supreme disdain On all the dark injustices of life! Thou shalt not seek for constancy in love, Nor aught eternal from frail mortals ask; To rear sepulchral monument or high From all thy griefs, O artist, be thy task! Chisel thy statues out of marble white Forms chaste of mien, though naked to the air; And let speech slumber on their sculptured lips; Let them stand deeply sad, yet silent there. A name! A sounding echo on the air, Fleeting and frail, its life a moment's span! A dreamer's foolish idol! Name and fame! This is the last sad vanity of man. Why should we justice ask, or clemency, -- If our own comrades here deny our plea -- From the indifference, mute and icy-cold, Of unknown men, to live days to be: Tardy compassion why should we implore From strangers hid in shadow one and all? The echoes sleep within the darksome wood, And no one, no one answers to our call. The only consolation in this life Is to remember happy hours and fair, And lift our eyes on high to view the skies When skies are blue or stars are shining there To flee the sea, and on the sleeping lake Enjoy the waters' calm, the peaceful time; To sleep -- to dream -- our wizard strong, the dream, Is a deceiver holy and sublime! 'Tis true alas! that in the honest breast The fresh wound calls for vengeance and for strife; But yet -- forgive the evil they have done! All suffer from the malady of life. The very men who crown themselves with flowers Are born to sorrow, and to perish, too. If those you love the most betray your trust, Forgive them, for they know not what they do. Perhaps those instincts they inherited, And they avenge unknowingly to-day Races that gathered on their hapless heads All griefs and hatreds ere they passed away. Art thou perchance the judge -- the sinless one? Do justice and sweet mercy meet in thee? Ah, who is not a fugitive that bears, The weight of crimes unpunished, guiltily? Who has not feigned to love -- dared with false vows Into a maiden's holy soul to steal? Who can be sure that he has never killed? Who is the just man, that may justice deal? Pity and pardon for all those that live! So, full of love, in mild and gentle mood, We shall be tender and compassionate, And haply, haply, some time shall be good! Friend, dost thou suffer? Seek thy sweetheart fair in deathless beauty free from pain and fear -- Live leaning on thy sadness, as of old On young Cordelia leaned the wandering Lear. See, far and farther ebbs the dying day! How good it is to rest! In shade obscure The woodland lulls us with a music soft; Virgin the water is, the air is pure. Weary, her eyes the light is closing now; Sad murmurs sound, and many a mournful sigh. The night, descending, to the earth says, "Come! 'Tis over. Go to sleep, and do not cry! To recollect -- forgive -- have loved, believed, And had brief happiness our hearts to bless, And soon, grown weary, to recline against The snowy shoulder of forgetfulness! To feel forevermore the tenderness That warmed our youthful bosoms with its flame, Receiving happiness, if it should come, Like a glad visit from some beauteous dame; To hold still hidden that which most we love -- Smiling forgiveness on our lips to keep -- Until at last, O earth! we come to thee In the complete abandonment of sleep: This ought to be the life of him who thinks How transient all things are that meet his eyes, And wisely, stops before the vast expanse Of falsehood's ocean that around him lies, Gather the flowers, while there are flowers to pluck; Forgive the roses for their thorny guise! Our sorrows also pass away and fly, Flitting like swarms of dark-winged butterflies. Love and forgive! Resist with courage strong The wicked, the unjust, the cowardly. The silent evening, when it settles down Pensive and sad, is beautiful to see! When sorrow dims my spirit on the heights I seek for calmness and for shining light Upon the frozen summits of my soul Infinite pity spreads its hue of white. Version by ALICE STONE BLACKWELL.

THE NEGRO AS A SOLDIER 159 regiment of Negro recruits. Applying at once for a commission, he was soon called to Washington where, upon approval by Casey's board, he was appointed by the Secretary of War to a captaincy in the 6th United States Colored Troops and ordered to report to Lieutenant Colonel Louis Wagner, Commandant of Camp William Penn. (5) Camp Penn was located at Chelton Hills, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, a few miles north of Philadelphia. Established in mid-summer of 1863 for the purpose of training the troops Stearns was raising, it drew its recruits principally from Pennsylvania. A total of eleven regiments was formed and equipped for combat at Chelton Hills. Philadelphians took pride in the nearby camp, organizing a schedule for visitations and concerning themselves generally with the welfare of its colored soldiers. (6) Arriving as a stranger at Camp Penn on Sunday Morning, September 27, 1863, Captain McMurray reported to Commandant Wagner. During a fifteen-minute interview he was kept standing, hat in one hand and gripsack in the other, in plain view of three or four officers. Fifty years later McMurray had not forgiven Wagner for what he considered a rude reception. Shortly after this embarrassing encounter, the young captain was assigned to command Company D, 6th United States Colored Troops, and conducted to his tent headquarters. On the company's streets he had his first meeting with regimental commander Lieutenant Colonel John W. Ames. Informal and brief, it left no distinct impression on McMurray except that Ames' behavior contrasted sharply with that of Wagner. For almost two years McMurray and Ames were to lead their dusky soldiers through the swamps and onto the battlefields of the country of the York and James rivers and to conclude their efforts with the campaign against Fort Fisher in North Carolina. They were to witness death among their comrades, rejoice over the same victories, and deplore the same defeats.

I should have recorded the cocoa tree, with its fruit shaped like this (picture) subdued red. It contains seeds which are sent to Holland. There the juice is extracted, the seeds ground and the product is cocoa and chocolate. We reached the river at about 5:30 and followed a boy to its banks, where the sacred elephants were taking their afternoon dip. They belong to the Buddhists Temple and are togged out in finery and paraded on great festival occasions. The Temple owns about twenty. There was a general scramble of small boys and girls, elephant keepers and what nots after our pennies which rapidly disappeared. We drove still further and arrived at The Maligawa Temple, or Temple of the Tooth at six. This was our first formal introduction to Buddhism, although we had seen the priests plentifully enough on the street. They are smooth shaven as to head and beard, barefooted and covered with a sort of toga of yellow cotton. They usually carry an umbrella or the more primitive big palm leaf used as a sun shade, and a fan. Originally they were expected to beg for their food and not to eat unless they got it. They still do so in Burmah, but here they are provided with food by their members. They are permitted one meal a day and that must be taken before noon. They do not marry, while priests, but may leave the priesthood and do so at any time. There is always a home where these monks live in connection with each Temple of any consequence. Every Temple must have a relic and this one is very holy, for it has a very special relic - a tooth.

FINANCIAL AFFAIRS. In order to systematize financial matters, I placed at the head of this division Lieutenant Colonel George W. Balloch, detailed from the Subsistence department. In addition to his duties as chief financial agent, he has aided me in commissary matters. I take pleasure in embodying his clear and able report in my own, as follows: Congress, when it created the bureau, made no appropriation to defray its expenses; it has, however, received funds from miscellaneous sources, as the following report will show: in several of the States, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, and the District of Columbia, the interests of the freedmen were under the control of military officers assigned by the War Department previous to the organization of this bureau.

12 MMG: How did you come to Detroit? RP: You mean, how did I travel? MMG: Well, no, not that so much as what made you decide to go ahead and come? RP: Because my brother was living here. MMG: And you and your husband felt that conditions just weren't going to get better immediately where they were? RP: Well, they were not any too good. Of course, it was quite before there was any disturbance or any harassment at that time. And my mother wanted to spend as much time as she could with the two of us and she couldn't spend time with him if she remained with me there. And if she left me there, then she felt uneasy, I think. Part of our..., she and my brother got together more so than I did, and found a place for us to move, for us to live, and we came. MMG: What was life like for you and your husband after you moved to Detroit? RP: Well, it was not any too easy. Well, shortly after I moved to Detroit, I was offered a job and accepted one in Hampton, Virginia, at Hampton Institute. I earned a little money, and he was working in a barber school. He didn't have a Michigan license or anything, so he had to pass the examination, be officially [licensed]. He was working in a barber school for a man of our [race], teaching some apprentice barbers that work and training them. MMG: Did you get any, ever get any specific support from civil rights groups during this time when you first went to Detroit? Did they try and offer you employment or see that you were taken care of or anything? RP: I didn't get any work, but I went to a lot of meetings, and sometimes when they would take up contributions, but that was never high. MMG: Ten years after you came to Detroit, there were race riots here in the city. What were your feelings about the progress of the civil rights movement at that point? RP: I actually...I mean, I would see that... I would associate the activity of the burning and looting, and so on, with what I had done and would have done. And yet, on the other hand, if you looked beneath the surface, we could see the frustration of some of these people, they could see the deprivation. I guess for whatever reasons it came about, I felt that something had to be wrong with the system. MGG: So you could understand it, although it might not have been the way you would have gone about it. RP: That's true. But it did...it was a very, very severe blow to my husband, who wasn't well at the time. It was just something he just

-2- plan is that any woman who thus enters into political life, must do so as an individual and not as an officer of the party. REASONS FOR THE POLICY. The reasons for the adoption of the non-partisan policy are many. The new voters need a period of preparation for their duties. They need opportunity to study the functions of government, the duties of public officials, the conditions of the community in which they live, the policies of the various political parties. They ought to become Republicans or Democrats, Socialists or Prohibitionists, not because their fathers or husbands belong to those parties, but because they have carefully studied what the parties stand for and have deliberately made a choice. Foreign-born women need to become naturalized, to become Americanized, to learn how to use their votes to further the welfare of themselves and of their families. STATE AND NATIONAL ELECTIONS. Members of the N.Y. City Women Suffrage Party in State and National elections will naturally vote as individuals with the various political parties. They will use the facilities which will be offered by the Suffrage Party for obtaining accurate information on the public questions of national scope that they must understand, and the measures and men they must vote upon. THE CITY PARTY MAY EXERT GREAT INFLUENCE IN MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. Members of the New York City Woman Suffrage Party feel that there may arise many questions in municipal politics upon which they may wish to vote in a non-partisan way. For civic improvement, the bettering of the industrial conditions that surround women and children,

CHAPTER XIX. SOME INCIDENTS AT DUTCH GAP. Our brigade remained at Dutch Gap nearly two months, employed nearly all the time in the canal, in the manner stated in my last article. While we remained there I went two or three times to visit acquaintances in Pennsylvania regiments that were encamped not far away. On one of these trips I had a strange experience-one that I could never understand or account for. When crossing a field, alone, I met a single cavalryman. As we were about to meet, and when he was not more than a hundred yards from me, he urged his horse to its utmost speed and tried to ride over me, doing his best to force the horse onto me. It was only by the greatest exertion on my part that I was able to keep out of his way, and to prevent myself from being trampled under the horse's feet. I have often wondered what the explanation of his action could have been. So far as I knew he was to me an entire stranger. Possibly he was one who had been wronged by some commissioned officer, or fancied he had been, and thought to get even by wreaking vengence on the first officer who gave him a safe opportunity. The following singular incident occurred one very warm day in the month of August: Our camp was close to the bank of the James river, on a bluff some thirty feet above the surface of the stream. I was lying in my tent trying to keep cool, while some soldiers were down by the edge of the water, shooting; I learned afterward, shooting fish. As I lay there, and while the shooting was going on, Lieut. Frederick Meyer, of Company B, sent a man to me to say that the shooting was being done by men of my company, and he wanted me to have it stopped, as it annoyed him. I couldn't see why the shooting should trouble him, or any one else greatly, and so allowed it to proceed. Lieut. Meyer was greatly offended, and in consequence proceeded to do a singular and foolish thing. He remained in his tent awhile, but seeing that the firing didn't cease, proceeded to dress himself in full uniform, putting on the best clothes he had. After brushing his coat, cap, and trousers carefully, and buckling on his sword, he started toward our picket line, which was in a field in plain view of our camp. We watched him till he reached our pickets, wondering as he went what he was going to do. To our surprise he did not stop at the picket line, but went on until he came to the enemy's pickets, which were also in plain view of our camp. There he sat down, and talked with them for half an hour, and then returned to our line, and then back to camp. We never spoke to him about the matter, nor lie to us, 48

Consider, the time in which she lived; the needs of her day; the work she wrought; the life, she lived; the death, she died. First of all, -- France. In 1316, an infant girl, 1 was the rightful heir to the French crown. Her uncle, 2 who should have been her actual, as he was, her legal protector, had her thrust to one side; had himself, crowned by the power of the sword. The people, believing in that day, -- as in many a day since -- that right, is made by might, accepted this verdict. A law, of which Germany was the birthplace, & heathenism, the date, was summoned, to the support of this robbery. The affair was settled.

The dye thus prepared should be well stirred and then left to settle. When clear decant it from the sediment and keep well corked for use. Dry the belts in the shade, then apply a little sperm or olive oil and rub well with a hard brush. Should any bad spots appear, scratch up the surface with the wire brush and we two or three times with a simple decoction of gallnuts, or shumac, and again apply the dye as above. The addition of the logwood is not essential; and a solution of copperas may replace, but not so well, the acetate of iron. The model of 1863 corresponds with the model of 1861, except in the following particulars, viz: Barrel. -- The cone-seat is reduced in length about two tenths of an inch, fixing the centre of the cone, or vent, on a line with the face of the barrel, and dispensing with the cone-seat screw. The end of the muzzle is rounded to prevent being bruised. Hammer. -- The form of the hammer is changed to conform to that of the barrel, and otherwise improved. Ramrod. -- The "swell" is omitted and the body made larger, with a ball-screw cut on the small end, and a brass cap to protect it from injury. Ramrod-spring. -- Adopted instead of the swell to hold the road in its place. Bands. -- Open bands fastened by screws instead of tight bands. Band-springs. -- Dispensed with as unnecessary. Lock. -- The lock is case-hardened in colors; the bands, swivels, and guard are blued in the same manner as the rear sight instead of being left bright. Appendages. -- The compound appendage for taking the arm apart is adopted in place of the spring-vise, ball-screw, tumbler, and band-spring punch model of 1861. NOTE. -- The rules for dismounting and reassembling the rifle musket, model 1855, will apply to the model of 1863 by omitting the band-springs and the parts of the lock that apply to the "Maynard primer."

2 in Birmingham asked us to be on call to engage in a nonviolent direct-action program if such were deemed necessary. We readily consented, and when the hour came, we lived up to our promise. So I, along with several members of my staff, am here because I was invited here. I am here because I have organizational ties here. But more basically, I am in Birmingham because injustice is here. Just as the prophets of the eighth century B.C. left their villages and carried their "thus saith the Lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns, and just as the Apostle Paul left his village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the Greco-Roman world, so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town. Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid. Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.1 We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within

[ Page 8 ] The war and the necessary curtailment of expenditure during the reconstruction years have suspended the construction of many needed public work. Moreover, the time has arrived when we must undertake a larger visioned development of our water resources. Every drop which runs to the sea without yielding its full economic service is a waste. Nearly all of our greater drainages contain within themselves possibilities of cheapened transportation, irrigation, reclamation, domestic water supply, hydro-electric power and frequently the necessities of flood control. But this development of our waters requires more definite national policies in the systematics co-ordination of those different works upon each drainage area. We have wasted scores of millions by projects undertaken not as part of a whole but as the consequence of purely local demands. We cannot develop modernized water transportation by isolated projects. We must develop it as a definite and positive inter connected system of transportation. We must adjust reclamation and irrigation to our needs for more land. Where they lie together we must co-ordinate transportation with flood control, the development of hydro-electric power and of irrigation, else we shall as in the past commit errors that will take years and millions to remedy. The Congress has authorized and has in process of legislation great programs of public works. In addition to the works in development of water resources, we have in progress large undertakings in public roads and the construction of public buildings. All these projects will probably require an expenditure of upwards of one billion dollars within the next four years. It comprises the largest engineering construction ever undertaken by any government. It involves three times the expenditure laid out upon the Panama Canal. It is justified by the growth, need, and wealth of our country. The organization and administration of this construction is a responsibility of the first order. For it we must secure the utmost economy, honesty, and skill. These works which will provide jobs for an army of men should so far as practicable be adjusted to take up the slack of unemployment elsewhere. I rejoice in the completion of legislation providing adequate flood control of the Mississippi. It marks not alone the undertaking of a great national task but it constitutes a contribution to the development of the South. In encouragement of their economic growth lies one of the great national opportunities of the future. I recently stated my position upon the 18th Amendment which I again repeat: "I do not favor the repeal of the 18th Amendment. I stand for the efficient enforcement of the laws enacted thereunder. Whoever is chosen President has under his other the solemn duty to pursue this course. "Our country has deliberately undertaken a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose. It must be worked out constructively." Common sense compels us to realize that grave abuses have occurred --abuses which must be remedied. An organized searching investigation of fact and causes can alone determine the wise method of correcting them. Crime and disobedience of law cannot be permitted to break down the Constitution and laws of the United States. Modification of the enforcement laws which would permit that which the Constitution forbids is nullification. This the American people will not countenance. Change in the Constitution can and must be brought

98 CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. instrument itself, and of the history of the English law of attainder, will make it evident that the framers of the constitution, in drafting Sect. 3 of Art. III. did not design to restrain Congress from declaring against the traitor himself, his person or estate, such penalties as it might deem sufficient to atone for the highest of crimes. Whenever a person had committed high treason in England, and had been duly indicted, tried, and convicted, and when final judgment of guilty, and sentence of death or outlawry, had been pronounced upon him, the immediate and inseparable consequence, by common law, of the sentence of death or outlawry of the offender for treason, and for certain other felonies, was attainder. Attainder means, in its original application, the staining or corruption of the blood of a criminal who was in the contemplation of law dead. He then became "attinctus -- stained, blackened, attainted." CONSEQUENCES OF ATTAINDER. Certain legal results followed from attainder, among which are the following: The convict was no longer of any credit or reputation. He could not be a witness in any court. He was not capable of performing the legal functions of any other man; his power to sell or transfer his lands and personal estate ceased. By anticipation of his punishment he was already dead in law,* except when the fiction of the law would protect him from some liability to others which he had the power to discharge. It is true that the attained felon could not be murdered with impunity,† but the law preserved * 3 Inst. 213 † Foster, 73.

the doomed men, and the poor fellows fell back across their coffins, almost without a struggle. Every man who saw the terrible sight seemed to utter a sigh of relief when it was all over. The bodies of the two men were placed in their coffins, taken to an old graveyard near by, and there buried. Most of the shots took effect in the men's breasts, but one bullet struck one of them on the wrist, just beside the irons that bound his hands together, and nearly severed the hand from the arm. The Second New Hampshire was faced to the right immediately after the execution, marched outside the hollow square, and thence to its camp. The other regiments and the two pieces of artillery also returned to their camps, and the awful tragedy was over. My regiment was not under arms, and I was permitted to observe very accurately everything connected with the execution. I stood within twenty paces or less of the men when they were executed, and was not more than five or six paces from the firing party. I did not learn the names of the unfortunate men, nor where their homes had been. They were both young, neither one being past thirty years of age, possibly not past twenty-five. Nothing in army life is so awful, or so impressive, as an execution of this character. CHAPTER VIII. CAPTAINS GORDON AND SMITH. On the first or second day after the execution of the two men belonging to the Second New Hampshire Regiment, as described in the preceding article, I was detailed as a member of the court martial before which they had been tried. The court held its sessions in an old log house in Yorktown, within the strong earthwork on which we had worked so many days during the preceding fall and winter. Its sittings continued about three weeks, and its work was "trying" men who had attempted to desert from the Second New Hampshire Regiment, and were captured. These three weeks covered my first and last experience as a member of a court martial. About twenty-five or thirty of these men were tried before the court while I was a member of it. The court consisted of nine officers, besides the judge advocate, and was pesided over by the Major of the Second New Hampshire Regiment. The duties of a judge advocate before a court martial are similar to the duties of a prosecuting attorney before a criminal court 18

[*Ballot*] Search Work in the Study of History By Francis B. Atkhinson, Editor Little Chronicle, Chicago. FIRST ARTICLE. AS THE third in the series of articles on the application of geography to life, I had planned to illustrate how any lesson in geography might be applied to the president's message; how it might be used to determine the response of the pupil-citizen to the recommendations of his president, and how, in turn, these recommendations could be used to illuminate the subject matter of the lesson. Some recitations in history at which I had the pleasure of being present recently, in the high school at Hommond, Ind., gave me the suggestion that I might, perhaps, accomplish this and the further and larger purpose illustrating the applications of history to current life, at one and the same time. The subject matter of the lessons was the struggle of the plebians with the patricians, which resulted in the granting to the latter of the rights of citizenship. In the previous assignment of the lesson of which I am now about to speak, the attention of pupils was called to several of the subjects dealth with in the message, and the probable relation of these subjects to the lesson, briefly discussed. The phases of the message selected largely followed the line of the pupil's voluntary interest. This was the first time the experiment of using current history as a means of teaching past, had been tried. While few of the pupils at first discovered, without suggestions, logical relations between the past and present, it is notable that some did; and that after the process of thinking by which logical relations were established, had been illustrated by in the case of a few pupils, the progress of others in the same direction was rapid. As an example of the kind of suggestion necessary to set the pupil on a profitable line of investigation, I may mention the case of one, who upon being asked what in the president's message had interested him the most, said the president's position that Chinese laborers should not be admitted to this country. He said it interested him but he could see no connection between that and the struggle of the plebians. He was asked what reason President Roosevelt gave for objecting to the admission of the Chinese. He said his reason was that the Chinese were not fitted to become American citizens; and that no immigrant should be admitted who would not, in the end, be fit to assume the duties of American citizenship. A final question as to the object of the struggle between the patricians and plebians brought the reply (together with a quick illumination of countenance) that it was a struggle for the rights of citizenship. He was then asked to turn to the index of his textbook under Citizenship, sub-division Roman, and see what he could tell the class next day about Roman citizenship as a part of the story of the struggle between the patricians and plebians, and its effects, direct and indirect, upon the national life. His contribution to the next day's recitation proved most interesting and valuable. It had been collected from seven sources, on as many different pages, but all within the textbook, thus bringing these things together and organizing them around the struggle between the patricians and the plebs. His report may be summarized as follows: Preceding the struggle of the plebs for equal rights (509 to 287 B. C.) the revolt of the Latin allies of the Romans had resulted in their defeat and the establishment among them of a graded system of citizenship, some having full citizenship, but most of them being allowed a voice only in home affairs. In 275, after the defeat of Pyrrhus, the inhabitants of all the Italian cities were divided into two classes, citizens and

The Years I Like Best lived just for ourselves and our children before that! Now we are living for the world. We are grandparents, not to the six little folks that belong to us, but to all children wherever they grow." At sixty the normal human is conscious that he has been gradually sloughing off certain attributes which had unconsciously weighed him down in earlier years, and he emerges from the process with a sense of new-found freedom. Jealousy, that jaundiced emotion of the wild beast, which lingers in the human and makes him, both individually and collectively, do illogical and contemptible things, drops away. At sixty there is room in the world for everybody and no place for jealousy. Hate, too, is an animal trait which the human at sixty casts aside. Fear, that specter that robs all the earlier decades of life of the happiness which should be theirs, begins to fade away, and a restful calm, unknown in any other period of life, settles of one. The unfortunate man or woman who through inherited traits bears the world a sour grouch, or who still carries financial worries, may never receive the normally splendid heritage of sixty-plus, but to the normal ones, who aimed early at a continued assurance of the family roof over their heads and food for their tables and have achieved both, the sixtieth birthday marks promotion into the only truly emancipated class of humans. YOUTH says there si no "pep" in the man of sixty. That is merely a tradition which mothers should spank out of their children. Men and women at sixty do not rush into battles with the excited abandon of younger ones, but it is not because the fight in them has been sapped; it is because they know most contests do not pay. Their memories call to mind a long list in their own experience, and when hot-headed youth is stirring up another conflict, they cast balances and observe that the penalties in all kinds of "fights," from a church row to a world war, are far more numerous than rewards. A grandfather may not cut an appropriate figure climbing a tree to pick apples, and "pep" may seem to be lacking when he makes the venture, but in a council where sane and sober wisdom is needed, he is where he should be, and is "peppy" enough for all purposes. Most of our Presidents have been in their sixties, and although, as will be admitted, they have been accused of most of the sins in the calendar, no one has charged them with being too old or too young. Forty is not the prime of life. That is another tradition. Sixty is. Sixty is an achievement. It has been accummulating wisdom for six decades. It has seen two generations, and within that time everything that can possibly happen to the race has happened. Wars, big and little, earthquakes, fires and floods, epidemics, and every possible variety of political stupidity come in the list. Sixty-plus is familiar with them all. What does a man know who has only one little generation of experience to judge by? The man who from his hill-top of sixty looks back over two can make comparison. To him it is given to distinguish the essentials from the non-essentials. He notes the never-halting trail of progress onward and upward and sees that it will lead on-- ever upward. He views with patience and composure the emotion younger men and women are wasting on trifles, and knows they will be calmer and more sensible at sixty. He has less respect for the young man's boasted "pep" than he once had, and much more in the infinity of God's mercy. Ah, fellow men and women of sixty-plus, it is our right to be well, happy, and useful. It is our normal heritage to put fear, dread, hate, and foolish fuss over nothings out of our lives. If we were really normal, there would be forty years in this period of healthy, useful living, but even as it is, ours is the glorious age.

the colored people have made in twenty-five years, not all in a line to be sure. People do not go up the hill in that way. Their burdens are too heavy and depressing; their multitudes fall and are lost; but their leaders press on and on, and at last succeed. Letters and papers from some of their schools in the South show a grant advance and a great encouragement. I am somewhat surprised that it is found so difficult to keep young boys steadily at work at anything in school or out of school. But I don't know that I ought to be.

Col Webster Chief of Staff of Genl.

These Combined salutes, raised the courage of the federal forces, which had been fighting for so many hours, disheartened the enemy. The death of Albert Sydney Johnston became known, which added misfortune to their panic. At half past ten the federals had regained all the[y] lost the preceding day, at that moment the rebels concentrated their efforts for a grand assault. Suddenly and with great concert they hurled their furious squadrons on the advancing federals. Stunned by the attack the latter reeled and the entire right gave way. At this critical moment Genl Buell arrived at this part of the field and assumed command of the same. He soon comprehended the relative position of the combatants, and ordered forward a double quick movement by Brigade. By half past two o'clock the entire right of the enemy was routed, they lost all in position of the field which they had gained, the captured guns of the federals were retaken, and some additional trophies were wrested from the retreating enemy. For that part of the federal line when the brigades of Crittenden, McCook, Smith, & Bogle were posted a contesed of equal intensity took place.

had left only a little while before. Just then the approaching cavalrymen espied him, and then it was a race for life. The men on the picket line saw him coming, with the cavalrymen in hot pursuit, and to help him all they could began shooting at the approaching horsemen. The firing checked their speed a little, and Lieut. Health got safely inside our lines, leaving behind him his portfolio, his haversack, and some other nice articles that tended to impede his progress on the retreat. If he had had thirty rods further to go to reach our picket line he doubtless would have been captured. Ever after that when he went on picket he went in light marching order, and never again ventured beyond our lines into the enemy's country. These horsemen were the advance guard of a reconnoitering party of half a hundred or more men, who had been sent from Petersburg to ascertain our strength and position. They had with them two pieces of artillery. About noon, after driving into our outposts, they attacked the picket line at the point where the reserve was stationed, driving our men back some rods toward camp. Before the charge was made on the picked line several shells had been thrown, directed at our reserve post, one of them crashing through an old building in which a score of men were seeking shelter. I happened to be in plain view of the building when the shell went through it, and the sight of the startled soldiers tumbling headlong out of it reminded me of bees swarming out of their hive when it was rudely disturbed in the summer. Just about the time of this charge on the picket line, as I was walking through a plowed field, alone, I had five of six rifles shots fired at me point-blank, by some Confederate riflemen in a wood adjoining the field, and about one hundred yards distant. The men had climbed into the trees, as the bullets came at an angle of twenty or thirty degrees, striking in the plowed ground a few feet ahead of me as I ran. None of them hit me. Two or three companies were sent from camp to the assistance of the picket line, including part of a squadron of colored cavalry. These troopers, about twenty-five in number, were directed to charge the two guns that were firing on us, and I watched them as they prepared for the onslaught. One darkey didn't care to get any closer to the guns, and turning his horse's head toward camp, started to ride off. The Lieutenant in command ordered him to stop, and come back, but he put spurs to his horse, and in a moment was in full retreat. The officer started after him, and I never saw a prettier race than that darkey trooper and the pursuing officer made across the field that day. But the officer's horse was the fleetest, and he overtook the trooper, bringing him back and putting him in his place in ranks, where he remained. I watched the cavalrymen as they charged the two guns, and saw several dusky horsemen tumble out of their saddles. But the guns 32

colony of Virginia, on business demanding speedy attention. He had crossed one of the several branches of the York river, pushing on toward Williamsburg, when he was met by a Mr. Chamberlayne, who had heard of the young man's fame, and was anxious to have him as his guest. Washington declined to stop, but Mr. Chamberlayne insisted, and promised as an inducement, to introduce him to the most beautiful young widow in Virginia. Washington finally consented to stop for dinner, with the understanding that he would resume his journey immediately thereafter. This was agreed to, and he directed his servant to have his horse ready at the gate as soon as dinner was over. In the parlor he was introduced to the ladies, including "the beautiful young widow." Her maiden name was Martha Dandridge. She had been married to Col. John Parke Custis at the early age of seventeen, and now, at twenty-five, was a widow with two children. Her husband had died only the summer before, leaving her rich. She is described as being at that time "short, plump, with dark eyes, beautiful as the hues of the rainbow, and her hair dark and handsome. Her form though small was full, round, and splendidly developed. She was charming, fresh, and fragrant as the rose, and gentle as the summer breeze." Washington was at once captivated and thrilled by her rare beauty and loveliness. The passion of love at once awoke in his bosom, and she promptly responded to it with a modest blush. 'Twas a case of love at first sight. He remained for dinner, also for supper, and tarried all night. Even in the morning he was in no hurry to go, and the sun was high in the heavens before he was again on his way to Williamsburg. He remained some time at the capital, and frequently visited the fair widow. They were married at the White House, the bride's home, a little over a year-and-a-half afterward, in January of 1758. From the White House to Yorktown I went by steamer, enjoying a delightful ride down the York river. But as I went my mind would ever and anon contrast this ride with the last one I had taken over this same river. Then I was in the midst of grim visaged soldiers, hastening possibly on a mission of death. Now I was in the midst of a thousand happy men and smiling women, on pleasure bent. Arriving at Yorktown I was somewhat disappointed. The crowd of people was not nearly as large as I expected to see. But on reflection I concluded this was not surprising. The location was out of the way, in a very sparsely settled country, with poor facilities for travel. All things considered, the attendance at Yorktown was as large as could reasonably be expected. The place looked much as I remembered it in the fall, winter and spring of 1863-64. The fortifications and surroundings remained 27

PINKHAM later as consulting neurologist to the Lying- In-Hospital, posts which he held continuously to the end of his life. In 1915 he became a member of the neurological department of the Cornell University Medical School, and shortly afterward was appointed instructor in neurology, in which post he was widely known and admired by many college generations of medical students. Upon the entrance of the United States into the World War, Dr. Stephenson volunteered for military service as first lieutenant of the Medical Corps on 8 June, 1918. His first assignment was as neurologist to Base Hospital No. 48 at Fort McHenry, Md. He was promoted to rank of captain on 15 June, 1918, and on 4 July, 1918, sailed for overseas and was stationed at Roanne, France, with his Base Hospital. On 3 Jan., 1919, Dr. Stephenson was transferred to the Fifth Division as Division Psychiatrist. He remained with this Division until it returned to the United States in July, 1919. In February, 1919, Dr. Stephenson was promoted to the rank of major in the United States Medical Corps and was consultant in Neuro- Psychiatry to the Hospital Center at Mar Sur Allier. He was discharged from Camp Upton on 5 Oct., 1919. Upon his return to this country after the cessation of hostilities, he resumed his large and distinguished private practice and continued vigorously in his numerous broad and exacting activities until his sudden death ten years later. Dr. Stephenson's professional affiliations included the American Medical Association and the New York Academy of Medicine, of both of which he was a fellow, and the New York Neurological Society. Dr. Stephenson was also a member of the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Sons of the Revolution, the Masonic Order, the New York Athletic Club, "The Virginians," the Southern Society, and the Phi Chi Fraternity. He married, in New York City, 23 Feb., 1921, Ruth Story, daughter of Henry Walther, a lumber dealer of Rushville, N.Y., who survives him. He is also survived by their two children, Junius Winfield and Walther Story Stephenson. PINKHAM, Wenona Osborn (Mrs. Henry Winn Pinkham), civic worker, b. in Longmont, Colo., 4 Sept. ,1882; d. in Newton Centre, Mass., 8 Jan., 1930, daughter of George E. and Mary Catherine (Morrison) Osborne. Mrs. Pinkham's childhood knew the strenuous environment of pioneer life on the windswept plains of eastern Colorado, where her parents settled when she was five years old. There for several years they struggled with the hardships and loneliness of life in a sod house on the plains, miles from a neighbor and from medical assistance. Mrs. Pinkham daily accompanied her father, who taught in the winter, seven miles to the nearest school. In her playtime she ran wild in the clean outdoor air, gaining that glowing health PINKHAM and strength which characterized her throughout her life. When she was eleven years old her family gave up pioneering and moved to Denver, and there she was graduated from the high school, and was completing a course in the Denver Normal School when the death of her father left her the chief support of her mother and five younger brothers and sisters. She obtained a teaching appointment in the public schools, where she served for five years as grade teacher, three years as assistant principal and two years as high school teacher, while at the same time, for eight years of this period, she studied in the evenings and on Saturdays at the University of Denver, by which in 1910, she was awarded the A.B. degree. Inasmuch as the State of Colorado had introduced woman's suffrage in 1893, Mrs. Pinkham had grown up in an atmosphere of women's rights, and had taken the political liberty of her sex for granted. Accordingly, upon her marriage and subsequent removal to Boston, Mass., in 1912, she felt unjustly deprived of her privileges in this respect, and threw herself with characteristic vigor into the work of the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association, where her great administrative gifts and powers of leadership were speedily recognized by her associates. From 1913 to 1915 she served as state chairman of the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association, and in 1917 became executive secretary of the Boston Equal Suffrage Association, later the Boston League of Women Voters, and held this post until 1923. An effective speaker and an unsurpassed executive and organizer, she had a large part in 1918 in defeating John W. Weeks as United States Senator on the issue of woman suffrage. In 1923 Mrs. Pinkham became executive secretary of the Massachusetts Civic League, an organization established for the purpose of educating public opinion in the interest of civic reform and advance, working for the passage of enlightened legislation, and maintaining public interest in law enforcement. The league is non-partisan, non-sectarian, and open to men and women throughout the state. Its organization at the time of Mrs. Pinkham's connection with it included committees on child welfare, billboards, delinquency and crime, education, kindergartens, housing and town planning, legislation and administration, membership, public health, public service, streets and alleys, and a committee to obtain the appointment of more women in the administration and enforcement of law. In 1929 the league brought about the appointment of a Massachusetts Commission to Revise the Children's Laws, which was considered by Mrs. Pinkham to be one of the most important measures, from a social standpoint, ever achieved by the organization. It was Mrs. Pinkham's especial responsibility to plan what work the league should chiefly devote itself 384

936 The Sanitary Commission Bulletin. before the promise of the early morning was realized, by a heavy rain storm, which lasted till noon, and made our gum blankets of the greatest value. By the end of the day, the sun broke out bright and warm, making every one cheerful and inspirited; the moon afterwards added her mild light to guide us on our way to camp by nine o'clock. MIDNIGHT SHOWER. We were roused from comfortable sleep about midnight, by a heavy shower, which coming upon us suddenly, as we lay upon the plain without shelter, (our tent having been forgotten,) soaked both beds and occupants before we succeeded in getting into or under the wagon. When the heaviest of the shower had passed, we made a fire, and gathered around it till day-break, drying our clothes, and comforting the inner-man with tea and crackers. By that time, the column was again on the move, and falling into position in the rear of the hospital wagons, our team began the duty of the day. UNCERTAINTY. Laughable conjectures as to our destination, beguiled the slow and tedious march of our little army. They varied as much as the minds of their originators, and extended from a reconnoissance toward the South Side road to a union with General Sherman's forces in Georgia. It was not clear however, that our six days rations would last quite long enough for a trip into South Carolina, or that our little army could subsist itself upon the enemy, on so long a march. SUSSEX CO. Our road lead us through Sussex C. H., a village of some pretentions, on the map, but owning only three or four houses, conspicious among which, is the Court House of brick, standking a short distance back from the road. The general appearance of this country indicates exhaustion. The soil under good cultivation and proper returns will be productive, but the large farms and bad system pursued, has reduced it so much, that no evidences exist of fair crops being harvested. Fields of cotton are quite frequent. Some have been picked; a few still carry their small crop. CONTRABANDS. Groups of contrabands me us occasionally, giving active exercise to the humane feelings of those in sympathy with them, by their appeals for aid. Children of all ages, and the infirm, through their leaders, asked for transportation; but a difficulty arose in getting it, from all the wagons still being loaded, and from the fact that we were going from home with limited rations for the troops. Few, if any of these parties, were however, left behind our column. Could any advocate of the Divine Institution have witnessed the meeting of these poor creatures with their friends by the road side, and have seen the exhibitions of delight with which they welcomed each accession to the ranks of those, who loved freedom better than slavery, he would have learned a lesson never to be forgotten. WELDON RAIL ROAD. About noon of Thursday, we came in sight of a railroad bridge over the Nottoway river, which the cavalry had fired a short time before. Here the object of the move was developed. Before us was the Weldon Railroad, in operation toward Petersburg as far as Stony creek, where wagons were used to carry supplies across the Danville road or around the Army of Potomac to Petersburg. DESTRUCTION OF THE ROAD. The line of road was at once occupied by the troops, and for thirty-six hours almost the entire force bent its best efforts to its destruction. Many willing hands make short work with such a duty. Strong arms are used, and many men apply themselves to the task. The rails and ties are lifted on one side, and thrown over into one long line. The ties when torn from the rails, are piled up, and the latter are laid across them and covered with light wood, so that when the fire has reached its fiercest power, and the iron has become softened by heat, the weight of the ends, bends the rails to the ground, and utterly ruins them for present use. Twenty miles of such devastation, was accomplished without opposition, and the Weldon road to the Meheria river, ceased to exist. Rebels in Richmond, have but one line of rail, the single track road to Danville, by which to carry troops and supplies, from the Southern States. HALT AT NIGHT. Our halt took place about sunset, the weather growing colder, and giving indications
