When l lay down l was warm from
walking, and went to sleep quickly When

woke me.
l crept to the door of the stable and
locked out; at my left the sky was red
dening. l aroused Nick, who might have
slept on for hours had he been alone.
The sun would soon warm US; but what

thing was bare. / asked Nick if he could
manage in any way TO get something to
eat. He could not; we must starve unless
accident should throw food in our way.
A flock of wild geese, going north, passed
high. "Dey'll go long ways to-day"
said Nick; amt got to stop 10 take on
no wood nor no water"
We bent our way toward the Warwick
road. At the point where we reached it
the ground was low and wet, but farther
OH we could see dryer ground. We crossed
the road and went 10 the low hills. From
tree j could see the village of Warwick
about a mile or so to the west, with the
road, in places, running east. There
seemed to be no movement going on. Nick

l came down from the tree and told
Nick TO lead the way through the woods
until we could get near the rebel pickets
where their line crossed the road.
About . o'clock we were lying in the
bushes near the edge of felled timber,
through an opening in which ran the road
at our left. AT long intervals man
would pass across the road where il
struck the picket-line
Both from the map and from Nick's i'm,

! knowledge, / was convinced that the
main rebel line was behind the Warwick
River, and that here was nothing but an
outpost; and l was considering whether il
would not be best to turn this position on
the north, reach the river as rapidly as
possible, and make for Lees Mill, which
| understood was the rebel salient and
see what was above that point, when
heard galloping in the road behind us
Nick had heard the noise before il reached
my ears.
4 rebel horseman dashed by; at the
picket-line he stopped, and remained 6
| few moments without dismounting; theI
went on up the road toward Warwich
Court House.
At once there was great commotion OF

we dared; men were hurrying about, get

perhaps you can so question me as to

The General sent courier to the front.
He then wrote q line on piece of paper,
and handed the note to another courier,
who rushed off 20 the rear. In a few
minutes an officer rode up from the rear;

"Yes, sir"

Then the officer took another book from

books.

In the main the law has been beneficial,
Gen. Miles states his objections to the
management Of military affairs in the
war department in the following language:
while Congress has made nmple pro-
visions for the management Of military
affairs IN the organization Of the army
Whereby companies. regiments, trlgades.
divisions and departments are made units
of administration, and by STATUTE has
clothed officials not only with executive
authority but judicial powers and response
tility, vet the tendency his been to absorb
and usurp the crtirc conduct of the mill
tary establishment in the city Of Wash
ington and especially in tho staff depart
ments. This has been found most IA
furious in other armies and is one of the
principal defects in our system.
The evil has been increasing during the
activities of the wars in the last three
years to an extent that in my judgment
requires serious consideration, and | rec
ommend that decentralization be effected
as far as possible and all proper lawful
authority be restored to subordinate ON
