spare. In the same letter General Grant makes this statement: When I commenced writing this, it was my intention to propose sending you, if you will furnish transportation, 8000 or 10,000 men to cooperate with you on Port Hudson; but, whilst writing, a courier came in from my cavalry, stating that a force of the enemy are now about thirty miles north-east of here. ... At present, therefore, I do not deem it prudent to send off any men I have, or even safe, . . On May 23d, 1863, General Halle'ek wrote to General Banks: I assure you that the Government is exceedingly disappointed that you and General Grant are not acting in conjunction.

ront of operations Fgh, cut off the allied Army J, from the side Bd, which formed its base; this latter would then have been thrown back upon the angle L, A, M, formed near Emden, by the lines of the Rhine, the Ems and the North Sea; whilst the French army, E, could always communicate with its bases of the Main and Rhine. The manoeuvre of Napoleon upon the Saale in 1806, was combined absolutely in the same manner; he occupied at Jena and at Naumburg the line Fgh, and marched afterwards by Halle and Dessau, in order to throw back the Prussian Army J, upon the side Ab, formed by the sea. The result is sufficiently well known. The great art of directing properly one's lines of operations consists then in combining his marches in such a manner as to seize the hostile communication, without losing his own; it is easily seen that the line Fgh, in consequence of its prolonged position, and the crotchet left upon the extremity of the enemy, preserves always one's communications with the

y feel himself to be a stranger here, after the first day or two. The University, as you know, was founded by George II., and was always under the especial patronage of the British throne, until Hanover was seized by the French. Ever since then it has shared a better fate than the other literary establishments of the Continent. Bonaparte, indeed, once sent Denon, the Egyptian traveller, and another savant, to look among the treasures of its Library, but they carried nothing away. While Halle, Leipsic, and Jena were suffering under his brutal depredations on their funds and among their books, he declared that he considered Gottingen as an establishment which belonged neither to Hanover nor to Germany, but to Europe and the world; and he was not only true to the promise he made to the faculty here, to protect them, but, under the government of Jerome, they were liberally assisted by the influence and even the wealth of the throne. In consequence of this, Gottingen, instead of com
