Perhaps he did not regret it as bet

worldly and selfish, though far from
vicious; and the embarrassments Of an
engagement with one beneath him
might now be put aside easily, leaving
him free to choose one In every way

not his own, as best fitted to become
his wife. Blanche herself was not

power, and mate vanity had led him to
sound her feelings already, SO that his
mind was easy upon this point

perhaps, her distress at the thought of
his indifference, would melt her into
graciousness and reason.


With this view he rode, walked, and
f1irted extensively for four or five days,

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF POTOMAC, I


April II.


Quite an interesting event taok place at
headquarters this morning. The 9Th corps
having taken eighteen flags during the re-
can't short campaign, it was arranged that
the men who captured them, accompanied
by their Commands, should march to the
vicinity of General Nesde's quarters, and
there turn in the colors taken from the
rebels.


General Meade addressed these heroes in
an appropriate speech, in which he thanked
them Individually for their gallantry, az d
the entire corps for the important part
they had performed in being toe first to
break the enemy's line at Petersburg, ss
well IS for their conduct in pursuing and
aiding in the utter defeat of the priI cipaI
army Of the Oonfederacy. In conclusion,
General Mesde announced that every man
who had taken flag should have a fur
Tough for thirty days, and that each one
should carry his own flag and present it
to the War Department at Washington.
The scene was brilliant and much enthu.
siasm was manifested by all who witness
ed il.


The announcement of the assassination
OF President Lincoln and Mr.. Seward and
his son wss received throughout this army
with the utmost sorrow. Every man SEEM
ed to think it the greatest calamity that
could have possibly happened just at this
time. Should the asssssins be found and
turned over to the army to be dealt with
their punishment would be swift and sure,
and such as to strike into the heart of every
sympathizsr with treason. Citizens living

would like to be controlled and govern.

credit is based, and in the light Of dawn

stern logic of facts must, notwithstanding,
ultimately assert itself, and We shall find
that, vast as our resources are, they will
be fully taxed to meet the Obligations of
