the post. The penmanship was ex-
ceedindy hRe and the drawings we're
good. This part of the paper WAS the
work Of 3 private soldier. Each sdI.
tiOn consisted Of OHly one copy Of the
paper. This was handed round among
the officers and sent from one post 10
another. The Journal was issued
whenever the money ran short and the
officers had nothing else to do. Gen.
Van Welt has all these papers now,
and they form an interesting feature in
his beautiful library. Ching Water was
the name Of n creek in the vicinity Of
the fort. Gen. Van Yleit's hrst really
important service In the army WAS in
1857, when he fitted out the army Of
Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston in the in
glorious campaign against the mormons.
From that time down 10 1861 the gen.
erals life consisted Of the weary, routine
duty Of doing nothing at some govern
ment post. When the rebellion broke
out, however, there was work enough
and to spare for the quartermaster's
department. The beginning of the re-
bellion brought Gen. Van Welt, then 4
captain, to Washington. II is a strange
coincidence that at that time Gen.
Hancock was also n captain, A. q. M,
and the subordinate Of Gen. Van Welt,
being his junior. Hancock was under
the order Of Van Welt for some time,
but lie chafed under the restraint and
was promoted and ordered to the field.
Gen. Van Welt was made chief quarter
master Of the army Of the Potomac, and
II WAS he who equipped that magnificent
army. He was, OF course, upon the
staff OF Gen Mcclellan, and had full
control Of all matters relating TO the
equipment, mounting and t~ransporta-
tion OF the army-no small affair for a
holiday at that time. For a time he
was the chief quartermaster of New
York, that being really the base OF sup
plies, and his operations were upon a
grand scale and were probably new
before equaled In modern times.
After the close OF the war and
the army had settled down 10 a
peace footing he vas appointed assist
ant qnartermaster general.
