as read twice and made the special order for the fifteenth of March. On the sixteenth, the resolution was taken up, debated, and amendments proposed by Mr. Cox, of Ohio, and Mr. Kernan, of New-York. The House, on the seventeenth, on motion of Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, postponed the further consideration of the resolution to the sixth of April. On the eleventh of May, it was taken up, the pending question being on the amendments of Mr. Cox and Mr. Kernan. The amendment of Mr. Cox provided that whe hundred dollars; one half of which said bounty should be paid to the soldier at the time of his being mustered into the service, one fourth at the expiration of one half his term of service, and one fourth at the end of his term of service. Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, moved to strike out of the amendment, be credited to such town, township, precinct, or election district, and insert in lieu the words, if subject to enrolment, be credited to the town, township, precinct, or election district in whic

Wheeler's cavalry must protect your front towards Savannah River, and your right flank from Barnwell Court-house towards Augusta. At least, the larger portion of his cavalry must be south of that river to watch the movements and check the progress of any force moving towards Augusta or the interior of Georgia, until the rest of the cavalry and other forces could be sent to give battle to the enemy. Please keep General Cobb and myself advised of your movements and those of the enemy,

o the authority which made the Constitution. Therefore he argues for that Amendment which was ultimately to follow the law as enacted by Congress, after the hard struggle Liberty had to go through, to achieve its final victory. Xiv. Tuesday, the 27th day of January, 1865, was the time for the final vote on the Amendment to the Constitution, in the House of Representatives. Vice-President Wilson says in his Anti-Slavery Measures of Congress,— Notice had been previously given, by Mr. Ashley, that the vote would be taken on that day. The nation, realizing the transcendent magnitude of the issue, awaited the result with profound anxiety. The galleries, and the avenues leading to them, were early thronged by a dense mass intensely anxious to witness the scene. Senators, Cabinet officers, Judges of the Supreme Court, and even strangers, crowding on to the floor of the House, watched its proceedings with absorbing interest.

to obey their orders under the specified contingencies. The Spanish authorities refused to surrender the province, and no evidence of any attempt on the part of Great Britain to take possession had been found, when a crisis was presented to General Matthews. （Fairbank's History of Florida, p. 253, et seq.) A number of American residents, aided by Georgians living near the border, organized an independent government, adopted a constitution and elected General John McIntosh governor. Colonel Ashley was appointed commander of the military forces. The patriots, as they were called, aided by American gunboats, demanded from Don Jose Lopez the surrender of Amelia Island and Fernandina. The capitulation was made March 17, 1812, to General John McIntosh, who claimed to be governor of the independent State of Florida. March 19th, General McIntosh, as governor of Florida, surrendered the post to General Matthews. Lieutenant Ridgely, of the United States army, with a force of United State

nt. The majority favored its passage. But a minority insisted that it was designed to defeat, and would defeat, the peace which Confederate commissioners were at that moment seeking. It is strangely true that at that hour high officials stated that no further negotiations were possible; that so Mr. Blair had reported, who had just come from Richmond. The President's private secretary declared that he knew of no such commission. The President himself wrote a note, January 31, 1865, to Mr. Ashley, the mover of the amendment, that he knew of no such commission or negotiation. Mr. Cox excused these singular declarations from high quarters, but was so well convinced that they were mistaken as to cast his vote against the amendment which in his opinion was perilous to peace. It was an obstacle, as it turned out, he says, notwithstanding Mr. Seward's belief that it was an aid. It is to be noted as a significant circumstance that the amendment passed while General Grant was detaining

who was guilty of substituting a service charge for a salute charge, but without success. Since the war Captain Halsey has been engaged in business at Charleston and has met with deserved success. He was married in 1870 to Maria T., daughter of George W. Olney, whose first ancestor in America was Thomas Olney, who emigrated from Hertford, England, in 1636 and was one of the original thirteen proprietors of Providence plantations. Their children are: Edwin L., Alfred O., Lindsley, Malvern, Ashley, Olive, Marie, Leroy, Ethel, Ruth and Norman. Notable among the engagements in which Captain Halsey participated were the following: Freestone Point, Cock Pit Point, Myers' Farm, West Point, Garnett's Farm, Savage Station, Malvern Hill, Hyattstown, Goulding's Farm, Boonsboro Gap, South Mountain, Martinsburg, Middletown, White Ferry, Barbee Cross Roads, Little Washington, Gaines' Cross Roads, Amissville, Ellis' Ferry, Rapidan Station, Brandy Station, Upperville, Gettysburg, Funkstown, Willi
