of his Aids. who cut his way through from
Ream's Station. The Sixth Corps was i'm
mediately sent thither. and Sheridan or
dered up with the cavalry; but before they
could reach that point the affair was over
and the enemy had withdrawn
Such raids on the communications of the
enemy had frequently been made by both
armies, and generally with impunity: but
the disastrous upshot of this expedition
showed that such detached columns operat-
ing far from the main body must always be
in a perilous situation, if there be vigilance
and vigor on the part of the antagonist.
The present raid had inflicted considerable
damage to the Confederate communion
tions but 1t was soon repaired. and il is
doubtful whether the temporary advan-
tage gained over the enemy more than bal
anced the losses in men and material suf
fered by the eNpeditionary force
Two weeks of exhausting effort thus
passed: but the lines Of Petersburg had
wthstood all the shocks they had received
There now remained no hope of carrying
the city by assault. Indeed. the Union
army. terribly shaken as well i'm spirit as
in material substance. by the repeated at
tacks on intrenched positions it had been
called on to make, was in very unfit
moral condition to undertake any new en-
terprise of that character.
In these preliminary operations against
Petersburg. which may be brought together
under the definition of the period of as
saults. though no large action had taken
place. the rolls of the army showed a loss
OF l3.U0 men. Lee had with much ad-
dless. taken advantage of every opportunity
afforded him to thrust his raper through
the somewhat loosejointed harness of his
antagonist. Though he had struck no vital
blow. he had vet drawn blood, inflicted
many smarts. and gained time to draw
around Petersburg a system of defenses
that bade defiance to assault.

IL. The urgency for troops at Petersburg
had caused the withdrawal of the main
Confederate force from Buffers front at
Bermuda Hundred. Butler then threw for
ward Terry's command. which advancing
found that the Richmond Il Petersburg
Railroad had been left quite uncovered. 1t
appears that Gen. Lees orders were that
the troops in front of Butler should not be
withdrawn till Longstreet's column, Ell
route toward Petersburg, should arrive to
relieve it. But instead of waiting the ar
rival of Longstreet, they withdrew on the
morning of the 10Th. One part of Terry 5
force accordingly proceeded to destroy the
track, while the other was moved up the
turnpike in the direction of Richmond. The
latter, however, had not advanced far when
it encountered the head of hostile col
umn hastening down from Richmond to-
ward Petersburg, whereupon Terry with
drew to Bermuda Hundred.

of the dear people loves some one else

Sylvia most numerically, and finally
she succeeds in opening the young
wife's eyes to the supposed incontinence

A story of manners such as this pur-
ports to be, like q play of manners,
should be so ripping with wit that
the plot serves only as the conveyance
for the spirit of the tale. The char
acters should be endowed with more
than a human fund OF repartee and
epigram or they have mo cause for
existence. Sordid accounts of scan
dals in the uopen ten are common
enough for all conscience sake. Yet
Mrs. Burton Harrison has done no
more than to weave web of scandal,
not involved. either, which has not the
saving grace of wit to condone the un-
pleasant moral tone expressed and
implied therein. The characters are
lifeless and their speeches often vapid.
The somewhat sluggish action of the
plot does not rise to spirited move
ment at any place and draws to re-
markably weak close. Really, there
is no excuse for Sylvia's husband Syl-
via herself or any of the other un-
pleasant people of the book.

ting that the text of such play should
be given to the public in book form;
the vital interest of the theme, its pow

raise it above the ordinary drama and
to make it a passion play of singular
