He Slept In q Pigpen After the Battle Of
the Wilderness.
The general and staff bivouaoked upon
the ground. The night was quite chilly,
and couple Of fires were lighted to add
to our comfort. General Grant lay down
with his officers beside one Of the fires
without any covering. When asleep, an
aid quietly spread an overcoat over
him. For about four hours we all kept
turning over every few minutes so as to
get warmed on both sides, initiating
with our bodies the diurnal motion Of
the earth as 1t exposes its sides alter
nately to the heat of the sun. When
daylight broke it was seen that low
board sE%cture close to which the gen.
eral in chief had lain down was a mig.
pen, but its former occupants had dis
appeared and were probably at that time
nourishing the stomachs Of the cavalry
troopers Of the invading army. Unfor-
tunately the odors of the place had not
taken their departure with the pigs, but
remained to add to the discomfort of the
bivouackers. Sheridan's cavalry had
had fight at this place the afternoon
before, in which he had defeated the
opposing force, and the ground in the
vicinity, strewn with the dead, offered
ample evidence Of the severity Of the
struggle.
At daylight on the morning Of the
9Th active operations were in progress
throughout the columns. General Sheri-
dan had ordered his cavalry to move by
different roads to seize the bridges cross
ing the Po river. General Meade modi-
fed these orders and directed a portion
Of the cavalry to move in front of War
ren's infantry on the Spottsylvania
Court House road. The enemy were fell
ing trees and placing other obstacles in
the way in order to impede the move
ment, and the cavalry was afterward
withdrawn and the infantry directed to
open the way.
About sunrise General Grant, after
taking off his coat and shaking it to rid
1t of some of the dust in which he had
lain down, shared with the staff officers
some soldiers rations and then seated
himself on the ground by the roadside
to take his morning smoke. General

victory over the stern Duke of Newcas-
tie at Quebec, and now the Orangemep
demanded to be allowed to present ad-
dresses to the prince and to be received
separately from their Catholic fellow
citizens. The duke consulted with Gov
ernor General Head and refused to per-
NIT this distinction. At Kingston an
Orange demonstration was prepared.
and the royal party did not land from
the steamer. The Orangemen chartered
another steamer and pursued the prince
to Brockton, but again he was not al
lowed to go on shore. At Coburg a par-
~ OF 90 Canadian gentlemen took the
horses from his carriage and drew him
through the pretty hamlet. At Toronto
the mayor apologized for the display of
Orange flags. The prince was hooted
and Missed when he attended church,
and serious riots were feared.

the retreat. Then the prince laughed
heartily, took off his hat to the flag and
was cheered by the Orangemen. How
