Midnight Council of War.

One Of the hitherto untold stories Of the
war, is the following sketch Of the midnight
council OF Gen. Grant and his corps comman-
ders,, after the close of the first days fighting
III the Wilderness. =. We give. it for what it ID
worth, bat don't believe word said about
Gen. Lee.

Gen Lee had Hung one wing OF his army be-.

which would require a,1otiler battle to regain

all summoned TO q Council OF war, to be held.

They We're che saudost steps ever taken by that
band OF devoted hearts. Fifteen thousand
brave soldiers, dead OF dying or wounded, were
lying on the field hard by, One after anoth-

silently took their seats. Generals Schofeld,
Meade, Burnside, Se&les, Howard and eth
ers, believe, were there. Not word was
spoken, A full half hour thus passed by
There emotions were too deep for utteranoe.--
Hopes OF millions hung Oh the decision of that
council. AT leugth Gen. Grant asked each
one i'll succession il they had any advise to
protfer. Each enc answered with sad mono-
syllable, No! The Commander then wrote
lew lines aud handed the slip to Gen. Meade.

was sick, was the last to retire, and he is au-

Had they known that the order had been given
