training there being, in his opinion, a good preparation for the study of law. The little savings from all my past work had been invested in a piece of land which was sold to fit me out for my journey to West Point, including some inexpensive visits en route. I reported at the Academy on June 1, 1849, with less than two dollars in my pocket, which I conscientiously deposited with the treasurer, as required by the regulations. My reception was of the most satisfactory character. William P. Carlin of the second class, and Hezekiah H. Garber of the third, both from Illinois, found me out very soon after I reported, took me under their protection in a brotherly way, and gave me some timely advice—not to take too seriously any little fun the men might make of my blue dress-coat and fancy gilt buttons, or anything like that; but I never experienced anything even approaching to hazing. My rather mature appearance may have had something to do with the respect generally paid me. It wa

ished this duty and returned to St. Louis, where I arrived in the early part of October, 1861, General Fremont had taken the field in the central part of Missouri, with the main body of his army, in which were eight batteries of my regiment. I was instructed to remain in St. Louis and complete the organization and equipment of the regiment upon the arrival of guns and equipments procured in the East. It was while waiting for the expected guns that a demand for artillery came from Colonel W. P. Carlin, commanding a brigade at Pilot Knob and threatened with an attack by a Confederate force under Jeff. Thompson. The latter had already made a raid in Carlin's rear, destroyed the railroad bridge across the Big River, and interfered seriously with the communication to St. Louis. In the nervous condition of the military as well as the public mind at that time, even St. Louis was regarded as in danger. There was no organized battery in St. Louis, but there were officers and men enoug

n Bragg's line and pass off to the right of the troops and guard that flank. Carlin's division (Fourteenth Corps), heading Slocum's column quite early on the morniemy's cavalry appeared at first to be more stubborn than usual; so much so that Carlin deployed his division to the left and Corps Commander Davis ordered Morgan to deploy his division so as to cover Carlin's right. This deployment was intended to force back the Confederate cavalry, or (if they were there) to develop infantry and fire at short range against the Fourteenth Corps. After the first encounter Carlin's men seem to have been considerably shaken. Perceiving some show of disorder, the Confederates took the offensive, advancing steadily against Carlin's left. There was doubtless some breaking here and there, but Slocum's men were veterans, andk that Johnston could have done better, even if he had followed up more quickly Carlin's retiring men. There was so much more woodland than open ground in the vici

by night schools. Planters were now favoring schools and applying to Griffin for teachers. Of course there were drawbacks. In parts, as I intimated, where desperadoes had the mastery, public opinion was intensely hostile to any project for the improvement of negroes. The poverty of the white people of Texas was never so great as elsewhere in the South, and they had sufficient pride to take care of their own poor. This of itself was a great boon to the assistant commissioner. General W. P. Carlin had become district commander and assistant commissioner for Tennessee. His account of the conduct of employers after the freedmen had cast their first ballot, which happened this year, was not very reassuring. They drove away and persecuted laborers who had voted for candidates that the planters did not approve. From June to October there were recorded at his headquarters 25 murders, 35 assaults with intent to kill, 83 cases of assault and battery, 4 of rape, and 4 of arson; all t

id Hooker. Warned of his approach by the rattling of the fusillade, he ordered Carlin's brigade to advance on the right in the peninsula lying between the river and which, though standing firm, is rather warmly engaged with Pettus' regiments. Carlin brings to the combatants the ammunition of which they were beginning to feel ththe Rossville road, leaving behind him only two regiments on Lookout Mountain. Carlin will join Johnson's division. Fresh instructions, directing Hooker to extend honly sixteen hundred and fifty yards from there, have hastened their steps, and Carlin has only to face to the right in order to pick up most of the fugitives that thin the evening Johnson reaches the forks of the Ringgold and Graysville roads. Carlin's brigade had already entered the latter when there was heard on the right the ither destroyed nor occupied the neighboring bridge over the East Chickamauga.

exation that Captain Lee could bring about the adoption of his engine on board an old steamboat with which a mariner, Captain Carlin, went outside the passes to seek the Union flagship New Ironsides. He came up to the very ladder of the ship, but, hs boat steering badly, he could not run into the ship, and the torpedo did not explode. Without receiving a single shot, Carlin had the luck to get out of the perilous situation in which he had placed himself by replying to the hostile sentinels thamilar attempt with a rowboat armed by Captain Lee with a spar-torpedo. His expedition had met the same fate with that of Carlin. Having arrived near the Union corvette Powhatan, he had ordered his men to bend all their oars to come up with it, but ning anew. Experience proved that it was necessary to have a steamboat, but one smaller and more manageable than that of Carlin. The Government persisting in refusing its co-operation for such attempts, he found a devoted friend, Mr. Stoney, who bu
