How FORTRESS. Monroe Wa. Butt.

How Fortress Monroe Was Built.
The manner of constructing the fort
is interesting, and throws some light
on customs and practices then in
vogue. The work was almost wholly
done by slaves, who were brought to
the place by their masters and leased
to the engineers in charge. The slave
owner received so cents a day for each
slave, and the government furnished
each "labourer," as the slave was
called, with two suits of working
clothes, a. pair or two of shoes, ra-
tions, quarters and occasionally lit
tie tobacco. The '.labourers" worked
with very little clothes and generally
without shoes. They lived in barracks
nd were subject to kind of military
discipline. The owners were regular
in coming in to collect the hire for
their slaves, from which we may infer
that the Constituent" of those days
knew how to appreciate good thing
to degree worthy of the present gem
eration.-Leslie's Monthly.

ERRORS IN WAR HISTORIES.


Gen. II. V. Boynton. president Of
the school board of the District Of
Columbia, and notably well-informed
in the history of the civil war. offered
a resolution in the board not long
ago, which was unanimously adopted.
suspending four histories from use
in the public schools of the district
until certain Inaccuracies found I'D
theii are corrected. These mistakes,
due to carelessness or misapprehen-
sion, are set forth by Gen. Boynton
in a pamphlet OF seven pages con-
tanning series of terse paragraphs.
The humber and seriousness of the
errors are surprising. says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat, and suggests
that general overhauling of his
tories relating to the civil war would
be timely. From this detailed show.
ing it would seem that the authors
of such books make hasty synopsis
of campaigns from a course of desul-
tory reading without going to the Of
fetal records for verification. The
official reports of the war have been
published at great expense by the
government, but as they form large
library in themselves the school his
torians evidently have not mastered
their contents.
In the course of his specifications
Gen. Boynton points out that McCle1-
Ian was not relieved during Pope's
campaign; that Hooker did not and
could not carry the vertical walls OF
the crest of Lookout mountain; that
Sherman was $50 miles, not 200 miles,
| from Rosecrans when the battle OF
Chickamauga was fought; that Grant
| did not order any charge on Mission
airy Ridge; that Bragg did not resign
after the battle; that most of the
| union army at Chickamauga did not
flee in confusion to Chattanooga, for
| the number driven back was less than
5000 in $4,000; that instead Of ali po-
sitions being marked at Gettysburg,
only one confederate organization in
| 253 has placed a monument there,
and that one division, not Sherman's
whole army, stormed Fort McAllister
Though the official figures of losses
/ in the battles of the civil war are on
| file, these histories are often thou
sands out of the way. Some impor'
tant campaigns are not even men
toned. One book dismisses the battle
of Franklin, Tenn, in a line or two
though the confederate loss there
was 6,252, including ~ generals killed
| wounded and captured.
The authors of the foregoing school
histories are Barnes, Montgomery
Johnston and McMaster. Gen. Boyn
/ ton submitted to his board specia
paper on Fiske's history, and that is
now under examination. Mr.. Fiske
states that only the left wing under
Thomas remained to contest the bat
/ tie of Chickamauga. Gen. Boyntor
saws that no less than seven divisions
belonging to the center and right re
NAMED with Thomas to the end
There are in the book errors amount
ing to $4,000 men in stating the losses
+ both armies at Gettysburg. One
statement is that after Bragg's de
feat in 1863 ssthe confederacy wa:
practically cut down to the fou1
states of Georgia, the two Carolina'
and Virginia" But the union army
in 1864 was larger than ever before
and there was severe fighting i
every southern state. It seems clea1
! that careful school history OF thu
civil war is yet to be written.
