The battle seemed lost; gallant Massachusetts
regiment had advanced its colors to the first line
of rebel works, only to be driven out with great
loss. The cool Foster-usually rock in the
whirlpool of danger hastily sought his
chief, General Burnside, for reinforce

During Hon. Horace Greeley's recent sojourn
10 Memphis, he was called upon at his hotel by
Jefferson Davis, and the two held ten minutes

philosopher was wreathed in kindness and
smiles, with occasionally hearty laugh break
ing the stiffness. 1t was a scene worthy the
pencil of an artist, one that would make pic
ture valuable now and in future generations.
