's Cabin, an eloquent outburst of moral indignation, whose echoes wakened the world to look upon their shame. By filibustering and fraud they dismembered Mexico, and, having thus obtained the soil of Texas, they tried to introduce it as a slave State into the Union. Failing to effect their purpose by constitutional means, they accomplished it by a most open and palpable violation of the Constitution, and by obtaining the votes of senators on false pretenses. The following senators, Mr. Niles of Connecticut, Mr. Dix of New York, and Mr. Tappan of Ohio, published statements that their votes had been ordained by false representations; and they declared that the case was the same with Mr. Heywood of North Carolina. Soon afterward a Southern slave administration ceded to the powerful monarchy of Great Britain several hundreds thousands of square miles that must have been made into free States, to which that same administration had declared that the United States had an unquesti

On February 7, 1862, he enlisted as Hospital Steward in the Twelfth Michigan Volunteers (Infantry), then in camp at Niles, Michigan. He took part in the battle of Shiloh, where he was made prisoner,—an experience which is graphically described in one of his letters. Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee, April 13, 1862. my dear friends,—I have not heard a word from you since I left Niles. Don't you write, or do the letters fail of coming through? I presume it is the latter. At any rate, I presume you would like to hear from me, and to know that I am alive and uninjured after this great battle. Well, I am so; but I got my share of the bad luck of last Sunday, for I have been a prisoner among the Secesh until last night, and had rather a hard time of it; but have got back safe to our lines, and mighty glad I was to do so too.

Washington, April 23d, 1875. Dear General,—I write to express my regrets that I shall not be able to be present at your wedding as I had expected, and so much desired. Invitations that I had given—not for particular date—for company to spend a week with us has been accepted, and the company will arrive during the early part of next week. Allow me therefore to heartily congratulate you, in behalf of Mrs. Grant and myself, and wish you a happy journey through life. Please to say to Miss Niles that I very much regret that I shall not have the pleasure of conferring her upon my old—not in years, but in date of service—Staff Officer. Ever Your friend, U. S. Grant. Gen'l A. Badeau, Consul Gen'l, London, Eng. P. S.—I hope you will take Washington in your tour and give Mrs. Grant and me an opportunity of having you and Mrs. Badeau meet some of our friends-and your old ones—socially. U. S. G. Letter no.

all privateers Baltimore, he said, was a privileged port with them. An American war vessel, supposed to be the Keys one State, looked into Ponce harbor on the 4th inst., and immediately putting on full headway of steam, stood towards St. Thomas. The privater Sumter had also been off Ponce. We have also reports of the chasing of the schooner Joseph W. Webster and the bark Cordella by privateers. The two vessels have just arrived at Yew York. From the market report of G. A. Phillips, Niles & Co., St. Thomas, W. I., July 20th, we learn that they had received news of the arrival of the privateer Jeff. Davis at S.
