meuced when within sis miles of Ground
Squirrel Bridge, and so unexpected was the
approach of our troops in that direction to
Early, that ho was sighted and his command
forced to dis-pcrso for safety.
When within two miles of the bridge this
movement necessitated a corresponding
movement of part of ou: men, and thus each
separate detachment was folowcd through
dense pine woods over swamps and marshes,
until a lato hour in tho night Captaiu
Burton, of the staff, having tho fastest horso,
at one time ordered Early's Adjutnut-Gcne-ral
to surrender, under tho supposition that
he was the General himself. Early was
within three yards of tho Ailjutaut-General
at the time.
Burton being nlona the demand to sur
render was responded to by a shot, which
wounded his horse causing him to full and
fastening the Captain by cao leg to the
ground. This opportune moment was im
proved by Early and he again plunged into
the pines, nt this time closely pursued by
Captain llazcltino of the First Vermont.
Early was Anally forced to balem, on the
South Auua, two miles below the bridge, at
a point where, under different circumstances,
no man would havo ventured to cross, and
here, too, he was so closely followed that
to distract his pursuers, he dhidud h'.s
Company in three parts and made his es
cape ou foot.
The pursuit wa3 kept up, however, for
ten miles further, but night coming on the
hero of the Valley, by the merest accident,
escaped. Perhaps this was tho ilnn'.c move

U. 8. Giant, Commanding

Longstreet his- informed uie
that in a recent conversation between him
self and Slajor General Ord, ns to tho possi
bility of arriving at a satisfactory adjust
ment of t,he present unhappy difficulties,
by means of a military convention, General
Ord stated thut if I desired to have an in
terview with on tho subject, you would not
decline, provided 1 had authority to act.
Bincen ly desiring to leave nothiug uut.-ied
which may put an cud to tho calamities of
war. I propose to meet you ut such con
venient deemed place as you may designate,
with the hope that upon an intercharge of
views, it may be found practicable to submit
the subject of controversy between tho bell
grrents to a convention of the kiud mention
ed. In such event I am authorized to do what
ever the result of tho projMed interview
mny render necessary or advisable. Bhouhi
you accede to this proposition I would sug
gest that, if agreeable to you wo meet at the
place selected by Geurcral Ord and Long

Very respec"'ully, your obedient servant,

C. 0. V enable,
Assistant Adjutant-General,
Head quartbks Armies ok tub United
States, March 4tb, 18B5. General K. E.
Lee, Commanding Confederate States
Armies. Geueral : Your two lettera of the
2d inst. were received yesterday. In regard
to any apprehended misunderstanding in
retereuce to the exchange of political prison,
ers, I thin Ic there need be none.
Geueral Ord or General Longstreet have
probably misunderstood wh.t I to th.
former on the .ubj l ftjj
to make myself undemtood properly.
A few dure befure tho interview between I
Generals Longatreet and Ord I had received
a despatch from General Hoffman, Commie
tary General of Prisoners, stating in sub
stance that all prisoners of war who were or
had been in close confinement or lrotn,
whether under charges or sentences, had
been ordered to City Point for exchange.
I forwarded the substance of that despatch
to Lieutenant Colonel Mulford, Assistant
Agent of Exchange, and presumed it pro
bable that he had communicated it to Col.
Hubert Ould. A day or two after an offend
er, who was neither a prisoner of war nor a
political prisoner was executed after a fair,
and impartial trial and in accordance with
the laws of war and the usages of civilized
nations. It wp.s in explanation ot this class
ot cases I told General Ord to speak to Gen.
Longstreet. " ... '
Reference to my letter of February 10th,
will show my understanding on tho subject
of releasing political or citizen prisoner.
In regard to meeting you on the 6th inst.,
I would stato that I have no authority to
accede to your proposition for a conference
on the subject proposed : such authority is
vested in the President of the United States
alone.
General Ord could only have meant I
would not refnee an interview on any sub
ject in which I have a right to net, which of
course would be such as are purely of a mil
itary character, and ou tho subject of ex
change, which has been entrusted to mo. I
have the honor to bo very respectfully, your
obedient servant,
U. S. GRANT,.
Lieutenant General.
Richmond, Va., Feb. 23, 1805. General
IT. E. Lee, Commanding, &c, General :
You will learn by tho letter of Genersl Ord.
Thejpoint as to whether yourself cr General
Grant should invite the'other to a conference
is not worth discussing,
If you think the statements of Gen. OreV
renders its probably useful that tho confer
ence suggested should be had, you will pro
ceed ns you may prefer, and are clothed
with nil tho supplimcntal authority you may
need in tho consideration of any proposal,
or for a military convention, or the r.ppoint
ment of a commissioner to enter iuto such
au arrangement as will cause at least a tem
porary suspension of hostilities.

1 2lh seotion of the Ant, dt not require the President,
in nssigning the quotus to tho several States, to tako
into consideration the whole term of enlistment of
the volunteer nnd militia men; and
2d. That that part of the Act of tho SI of March,
18t'3, which mnltcs the period of service an elotnont
in the calculation ncoiwsary to dotcruiine tho number
of men due from State, dittrtokr county or -town,
has been ropcnlcd by the 2d section of tho Act
amendatory of the Lurolnient Act, approved 24th
February, 1S61.
It will bo more convenient to oonrMcr these
questions In tho rovcrso order, inofinueh as if it
shall be found that the rcpcnl hns been mado, as
contended for, the first point made by the Uovcrnor
need not be considered .
Tho groat objects of the Enrolment Act are:
1st. To declare who shall constiluto the uullonnl
forces; and
2d. To orgnnizo a plan by which the national
forces enn bo mndo nvnilnble.
Subordinate to tho purpose of raising nnd organ
iiing the nationel fercee, the plan adopted by Con
gress shows a desire thnt tho draft upon the industri
al population of the several .States, and tho commu
nities thereof, should be equalized as nearly as prac
ticable. lly tho 4th Bectioh of tho Act of tho Si of March,
186j; tho United States is divided into dirlpctn, of
which the District of Columbia shall constitute ne
each Territory v( tho United States shall constitute
ono or more, as the President shall direct, and each
Congressional District of the 'respective Slates, as
fixed by law of the .State next preceding tbo enrol
ment, shall constitute ono. The Sth section provides
that there shall bo a Board of Enrolment tu each
District. Hv the 9th section.it is provided, thut if
the liourd of i:nroltncnt shall deem it necessary, a
liistriet mav bo divided into two, and. with tho assent
of the Secretary of War, into any greuter r.umLcr of
fcuh-iiivisioni
Hv the 12th section it is nindc the duty of the Pre
sident, in ns.-igning to tho Districts tho number of
men to bo furnished ihorefrom, to take into conside
ration tho number of volunteers nnd militia furnish
ed by and from the several States in which sr,id Dis
tricts nro situated, and the period of their s rvioe
sinco tho commencement of the present rebellion;
and shall so make said assignment as to equalize the
numbers among tbo Districts of the several States,
consilcring and allowing for the numbers already
furnished as aforesaid, and the time of their service.
It is evident, from tbo face of this Act, that the
several States und Districts have furnished a nuu'.ber
of volunteers and ruiiiti.i, and for periodsof service
The first duty of the President was to havo the nti.
tional forces enroled ; his next duty was to ascertain
what numncr nt volunteers and militia hud becu lu
i hud becu fur-
'Jf th.P w'eui t
ctsin tho eevo-
r.ishcd Irora tho soverul States, and

r.-hollion : and then, from what Districts
nil States they dime, that lie might equalise the
nuuiners among tne Districts oi me several ctiucs,
considering tbo allowing for tho numbers already
furnished us aforesaid, and the time of their service.
Under the Aot of the 3d of March, 1 it is plain
thnt ho had no riabt aud power to cut up a District
into counties, UiwLships. precincts, or wards; iu order
to equalize tue aruii lucrum, xiio uuiuuiiljt fci.eii
in the'Jth section to sub-divide u Distriot was for the
ynt ..il....u- e r - J;;.., tha worrtlmpnt.
and with noroierenco toequalimtiou. It might, and
doubtless did happen in many Districts, that one well
dv.'ued portion of a District, us a county, township,

It is earnestly insisted, ."nl """" ingeniously argu
ed, that this 2d section of tin. iiasndod Aot repeal
so much of the 12th seotion of tue" 40t oi tlla ;iJ f
March. 16ii3, as mckes it the duty oi 'ha President
to take into consideration tho enod of (ci'vico of the
volunteers and militia from the several Statid. Ibo
argument in favor of the repeal rest wholly upon tho
woras oi mo amenuatoiy Act " tue number which
bus previously furnished (herefrom." .lt,ia insisted
mai "auniDor, an nere useu, nieaus au uruiiuietical
count. I cannot so underbuild it,
Tho Act of the Sd of March. Ia83. had rrcscrihnd
a mode by which tbo number of men duo trom tho
several states, arm mo districts ol tho soverul States,
should be ascertained ; and that mode required, not
a simple count but a consideration ol tho period of
service oi uien previously iui'ineiieu. Congress used
tlie word number in the id section of the umoudatory
Act, understanding that the mode of count prescribed
iu the original Act would be preserved.
There aro many evidences upou tbo faco of the
ameuuuiory act wuicu tuow mat it was not tho in.
tcntion of Congress to change the modo of count i re
scribed in the original Act.
Tha amended Act dees not undertake te sny how
the quota of a State or District is to be ascertained.
In ascertaining what number is due from a State or
District, the President must pursue tho modo pre
scribed in the 12th section of the original Act be
must take into consideration tho period of servioo ;
aud yet, under the construction insisted upon, when
becomes to equalize the draft, as authorised to do
by the amended Act, in the Districts, be must bo
conirollcd by simple numbers. It cannot bo that
Congress intended one modo of eount for the States
ana uistricis, ana a uniercnl and wnolly inconsis
tent one for the Sub-divisions of Districts. Inextri
cable eoufusiou would result.
From tbo language used in various parts of the
amendatory act, it is evident thut Congress did Dot
luieuu io uisiuru uio ujoue oi count presci lued in the
original act nor instance, m the 8th seotion of th
amendatory act, it u said that the town, ward or
township shall be credited by his servicos, aud in tho
7tb section, "the period for which he shall have ham
drafted," all going to show that time of service was
hold to be au element in the count.
Nor do I think that the argument in favor of lh
repeal is aided by the language of the 1st section of
me act, entitled "An act lurttier to regulate and pro.
vido for Ihe calling out of the nasiunul forces," a p.
I'lv.Qu iu H uiv. loo, ina act snvii. rnit tr.v
such volunteer, or in caso of draft, as horcinafier
proviacu, any substitute, shnll be credited to the
town," Ao. Congress meant that Ihe eredit should
be given according to the mode of count prescribed
ia theaut of 3d March, 18.
The whole purpose of tha 2d section of the amen
datory act was tu enable tbo Prcsideut to cquulie
tho draft in the seven districts, surely not to have
one mode of eount in ascertaining the quotas of the
several States and districts, and another mode for
equalising the districts. Bwides, it is hardly to bo
ooosidered that Congress would thus Incidentally
strike from so important a statutes, featu je so pro
minent and equitulle.
I am, therefore, of tha opinion that ths mode of
ascertaining and assigning to "tales and districts
their respective" quotas, as prescribed in tho 12tb
section of lb actof the 3d July, l-VW, is not repealed
and that the same mod must be pursued in equalii
ing ths drsS't among the sub-divislounof eacbdistriot,
Next oomw the question, what Is the mtieof oouut
prescribed in the IJio seotion of the aot of Sd March
18o3 1 . , . ,
It is very plain that Congress regarded that eon.
Uderation of the period of service would ebange tha
rule from a merely numerioa! on. Bom ores it
was to be given for tha period of sarvlo as well as
for tha man, Congress has fixed various periods of
servioa, and Btatee ai d dittriots, and (motions of
distriols, had furnished men for thoaa periods ef
service, Now how hi th orodit to be given
Befor proceeding to answer th question, it mar
b proper to stal, that it is insisted that the Words
"period of time." aad "lim of srvioa," u used In
tbsllibMotioa of U aot ot March 3, 1S03, mean
soivthio different front term of terrie, It saemt
to m that tha phrasat mean oo aud th aam

section of th act of 18fi.l, tk terrt of frvlo fc
spoken or, ana th term or re-enimmeui, wnust in
tn Tin section rt the amendea at, it is ins pinua
for which he shall bay enlisted, and th period tor
wntcn he shall have been drafted. . 'Ihus H win os
bereeived, that upon Uia -very fnc of these -acts,
Congress used the words ns meaning the sum thing.
Jtt happens to iu th aot. that aeither Wont mny bo
used and vet the nam idea Intended. M in the 8th
seotion of the amended act, where th languag it
'soau d ereuitea ny nis serTMes. '
Ueirardinir then "neriod of korvtce." and term

menl predicated upon a difference must b disre
gard ed. And thut w at brought back to th
fi,tfalir,n lina im tha nribdii In ha uweto T Mnal. tlin
eredit be for th actual terVice, or th period on
nlislmcntr
I think that Congress 'latended by th words
"period of servioe." to gir credit for the time of
his enlistment. When a man enlists la the service
of tho Government for one, two, or three years, his
services nr due to th Govornment for that period,
and diirinir that nnrind hia .an-vtccs ard 'Withdrawn
from th Industrial pursuits of life. The aot spoaks
as thoneh ther was a oortaln and fixed period for
the services of each man, and yet if any period of
time is taken other than tb term ot etui situ cm, ny
some system of averages or guesses, a rule must bo
fixed. To do so would vtolat th certainty con
fn.ntAtrl4 V.W lit f
I am, therefore of the opinion that the President
ntust, under the aot, give credit by th wholo period
or term for which the mnn enlisted.
Whulu'"' this is th rule which should have been
a.'nntnd hv CVnirre(ii. whothor it does Dot operate
unequnlly, and whether it is exactly just or not, are
questions that cannot now bo considered. It in

At first Ihwo is a distressingly oppressive feeling in
the head, which gradually merges Into a severe
heavy pain In the temples, frequently attended by a
tense of fullness and tenderness iu one eyo, and ex
tending acress the forehead. There is a clammy, un
plcnsnnt taste In tho mouth, an offensive breath, nnd
the tonguo covered with a yellowish white fur. The
sufferer desires to be alone in tho darkroom. Aj
soon as the patient feels' th.o fullness in tho head and
pain in tho temples, tako a lurgo dole of Sohenkc's
