Around the door were three women and about half a dozen children, from the wee baby to the young girl of 15 or 16. Two of the women were about a shade lighter than the quad roon, while all the children were white. The third woman was apparently pure white ; her eyes were blue, her hair ivas brown and straight; her features were en tirely American nothing to denote a particle of negro blood.

Lee has been driven a distance of 70 miles, and is now emphatically iu his last ditch, within the sound of his own church bells.' Our regiment (140th Penna. Vols.) has suffered severely. I suppose you have heard of Capt. McCullough's death. He was shot in the skirmish line. The ball entered his thigh, severing the femoral artery he bled to death. He was a splendid soldier and an honest, educated gentleman. We cannot replace him. Colonel Frazer has returned to duty, and is ready for another wound. We have lost 230 killed aud wounded. Our army is stronger than ever before, and Grant handles it as if it were a division. at Nashville, from which we extract what follows.
