Gouverneur Morris, of Pennsylvania, was chairman of the committee on style which reported this alteration in the preamble, and he informs us in one of his letters, that the Constitution, in its The position of the Federal capital on the banks of the Potomac, and the exposure of the southern border of the United States along the line of Maryland and Pennsylvania, made it of transcendent importance that the country intervening between Richmond and Washington should be made and kept, as far as possible, the theatre of thwhich we involuntarily exclaim, Where, oh where was Jackson then?

I am of the opinion that the enemy will send a small column towards Pennsylvania and draw your forces in that direction, then suddenly move on Washington with the forces south of the Potomac, and those he might cross over. This was the very day on which McClellan obtained the lost dispatch.

Longstreet was sent to Hagerstown to look after some supplies and reported movements of troops from Pennsylvania, while D. H. Hill was left at Boonesboroa to be ready to support Stuart's cavalry and to guard the mountainpass which led to McLaws's rear until Harper's Ferry should fall.

It was found possible to get the empty wagons over at the ford, which was done without accident, though the water was nearly as deep as the backs of the mules. By midday everything was dried off, the ammunition re loaded, and the train taken out of the reach of the Federal cavalry. So difficult was it to obtain supplies, that ordnance officers in the field found it necessary to use all their opportunities for supplementing the meagre stores of the department. When the army moved into Pennsylvania, in 1863, loads of tin and other stores were obtained and sent back by wagons to Richmond. In the same way a considerable quantity of leather, to be used for harness and cartridge boxes, was sent back. In the winter of 1863-‘64, I was informed that at the Richmond arsenal they were in great straits for wood out of which to make artillery carriages, and that without a supply promptly furnished it would be difficult to fill the requisitions from the army.

Turchin, was arrested, tried, and cashiered by a court-martial, of which General Garfield was president. He was, however, immediately appointed Brigadier-General by President Lincoln. Records War of Rebellion, Vol. XVI, page 273-8. Now let us turn to the other: When the army was passing through Pennsylvania, the ladies frequently came out of their houses to show their feelings of hostility to us and to display some evidence of it. At one place a beautiful girl ran down the steps of an elegant mansion, and standing on the terrace in front, waved a miniature United States flag in the face of our troops. Behind her, applauding her act, was grouped a party of ladies, all richly and fashionably attired, evidently belonging to a family of some note. The troops passed by quietly, offering no insu

ep up fell on the road exhausted. Passed Ashby's Gap on 18th, and on 19th crossed Blue Ridge at Snicker's Gap. A heavy rain fell at night, raised the river, and the command had to rest until evening, when forded the Shenandoah at Shepherd's Mills, and to prevent being washed down by the rapid deep water the men had to march four deep and hold to each other. On 25th June passed through Martinsburg, and forded the Potomac at Williamsport into Maryland. Passed Hagerstown on 26th; entered Pennsylvania at Middleburg; halted at night at Green Castle; through Chambersburg on 27th. At night the regiment was ordered to Scotland to guard commissary stores, and rejoined the brigade on 29th, when it, with the division, was marched back through and south of Chambersburg and halted until 2d July, when again marched through Chambersburg on Baltimore turnpike to within two miles of Gettysburg; the regiment was often fired on during the day by bushwhackers.

ced for the annexation of Texas After much debate they passed the House of Representatives, January 25th, 1845, by a vote of 120 to 98. In the Senate, after a month's delay and opposition, they passed by a vote of 27 to 25, with an amendment, which was concurred in by the House the next day by a vote of 132 to 76. It is due to history, and the statesmanship of President Tyler, to observe that the joint resolutions, on his suggestion, were introduced into the House by J. L. Ingersoll, of Pennsylvania, and George McDuffie, of South Carolina, in the Senate. Thus it is shown, as appears also by the vote in each House, that it was based on a statesmanship above sectional or party considerations. President Tyler approved these resolutions for annexation on March 1, 1845, three days before his term of office expired, thus concluding his administration, in what Thomas Ritchie, editor of the Enquirer, expresses as a blaze of glory. In the entire history of the annexation question, the pr

increase in power, population, and wealth in the future will be simply incredible. The census of 1900 will see Texas outvoting New York, and Alabama passing Pennsylvania in power. When people have lost everything save honor, as we had done in 1865, our first duty became to preserve that untarnished. The Union had power, wealtyland troops were pitted against each other. Among those present yesterday were Messrs. Joseph H. White and W. T. Ehlen, of Talbot county, who were members of Pennsylvania regiments opposed to the Confederate forces in that battle.
