So absorbing is the interest aroused by each OF the
great battles and prominent incidents OF war, that

There were men without STINT and credit without limit
and the continent resounded with the notes OF prepar
alton for gigantic by land and sea. The autumn
ard winter were consumed gathering and dscipllnns
armies, and collecting supplies of every description
while their dock yards hastened to cover tina waters WI"
an invulrerable and an invrcibe navy.
About the end of February, 1862, the storm broke
