From both flanks, from the knolls in front
of Steadman, where Tidbail had pitted

The ground between Steadman and the

In November, 1803, 1 saw that same man,
one sin
gle night, at Ivnoxville, Tennessee. He did
great work a'aiu to-day. He had able sub
ordinates. Wilcox and Hartranft to day
stood the test of the furnace seven times
heated. While Gordon hugged the bomb
proofs of Stead.uan, dispositions were made
to dislodge him in turn. The two brigades
of Hartranft, the first under Col. C. W. Do
veil, Two hundreth Pennsylvania, und the
second under Colonel Jared Mathews, Two-hundrcd-and-fifth
Pennsylvania, formed in
front, Wilcox's Second llrigade, under Col.
Ely, Eighth Michigan, on the right, and bis
third, under Col. Ilobinson, Thii-d Maryland,
after the capture of Prevct Uiigadier-Gene-nl
McLaughlin, on the left. In this order
the four brigades fought their way up to
the fort.
Seven to eight was u counterpart of the
hour from five to six, Steadman was again
the scene of wild, desperate hand-to-hand
fighting. Up to the fort again, into it again,
through its traverses again our four brigades
pushed on w ith a valor that rivalled, but
could not surpars that of the llebels. How
they fought l.eggars language. Determined
to win Lack Stcadmnu, tho Ninth Corps
Pngades walked uuappallcd through the !
raiu of bullets that swept the open plain.
At last the llebels yielded. Sneaking otr
by a ravine that runs laterally from the
right of Steadman to the Appomattox, some
of them regained tho cover of Spring Hill.
Most of them never did. Eighteen hundred
iu all wero captured. The tort itself ami
tho ground in front of it was covered with
their dead and wounded. At fifteen min
uU'3 past eight o'clock Fort Steadman was
rewon ; the right was over, tho valor and
fortitude of the Ninth Corps made manifest
to all the world. Not a gun was removed
or spiked ; no vestigo of llebel occupancy
save the stilled and writhing masses of grey.
Gordon left the Field just before, lie
left it very much unlike a conqueror. Not
fancying the fire that swept the. plain, he
sent his horse oif by au orderly, and follow
ing the example of the illustrious Pickwick,
ut the sham-lnght, by liimsclt, on toot, down
the ravfno spoken of, he did not run by any
means, but as described by Major Miller, au
eye-witness, he trotted away.
General Hartranft shone through the ranks
of war to-day like tho plume of Henry of
Navarre. The charge of his division he
headed, and with hiut, breast to breast, wero
Major Sboi'klcy, of his statf, and Captain
lirackclt, of General Wilcox's statf.
A Hag of truce was sent in immediately
alter the battle by General Gordon, asking
permission to bury his dead. His request"
was granted, and under its cover the llebel
dead were removed from fright.
Tho great feat of the day was undoubted
ly that of Major Miller, First Pennsylvania
Artillery, acting ou the stall' of General Tid
bail. Captured in tho early part of the en
gagement, he was put under a guard in Fort
Steadman, aud by a good use of tho power
of speech persuaded his guard not only not
to Itike him to the rear but to come w ith him
into our lines. Starting out as we swept on
tho lour or five men at his' f eels, tho num
ber voluntarily increased until he i,:.-;:--:hcd
into our lines with over u hundred P.elA-I
followers.

that ho was willing to treat with tho States

That if peace were restored ho would do all

That ho' could not enter into any truce or

PA Vis's INSTRUCTIONS,
were substantially as follows:
First, That negotiations shall be conduct

ties. I
Scond, That pending the negotiations an
armistice of t'O days shall be proclaimed.
These instructions communicated to Mr.
Lincoln, hut were not entertained as a basis
of negotiation.

proclaim a plan wlu'ch would be generally
accepted by the States 03 a basis of settle

THE XEW-VOrtK WEEKLY TU1UUXE of
March 25th contains another appalling list of the
dead Union Prisiouers, comprising those who died
in tbo hospituls from tho 18th of December, the duy
upon whscb Tue Tumi nk's correspondenut escaped,
until all tho prisoners or war were removed to llich
mond and Wilmington for exchange. There were
many unablo toobtuin admission into the wretched
hospitals who breathed their last iu their own quar
ters, and of whom no memorandi whatever was
kept. They go to swell the list of the nameless aud
unrecorded dead who have cheerfully given up their
lives "lor our dear country's take,'1 aud whoso me"
luorics the Republic will ever delight t? honor.
The exchanged prisoners who kcpPand brought
through this record, slato that Tho balishury Daily
Watchman in announcing the escape Tub Title
I'm' corrosi-ondcuts, pronounced tbo occurrence
very mortifying, inasmuch as thoy wore the most im
portant prisoners in th garrison ; but asserted that
they were crrlain to be brought buck within a week,
as scouts bad been sent out for them and the coun
try alarmed in every direction. Aa the cm respond
ents hid quiotly iu sight of Ihe prison uutil the scouts
had gone out, aud kept all the lime behind them, it
was hardly strange that thcirfancicd pursuer could
obtaiu no satisfactory information concerning tkvul ?
Th last report which reached Ihe prison before,
the new of their safe arrival in Knoxvill lUted
very circumstantially that Mrssrs, Richardson
Brown and Davis had been ace;, Soius througU (he
mountain! on horseba;;',, Bm)a lo tbs Uelhi Bnil
accompanied by a deserting Rebel officer, who was
also a traveling arsenal. Tbey story probably
sprung from th fact that ouce, while in Wilkes

Draft en N.York. or Puat-oAea enlara. iuv.1,1.
talk order of "THE lUIUUNE'' Urn aaioi..-.
I V'ndcr this enactment, any person enroled, and
j liable to draft, may obtain exemption from the draft
I during tho whole period for which he shall procure
I a substitute to bo enlisted, provided tbo substitute
! shall be so long not liable to dnitt. It is not a mere
credit for a particular draft which such person ob
tains by suruisbing a substitute before the nutic'putvd
urult, nut ll is a absoluto exemption wmeli lie ac-
3uirrs trom liubility to be drawu at any and every I
raft which may occur during tho entire time for
which bis substitute has been accepted by tho llo
vcvumciit provided iho substitute be so long not
liable to druft. If for example, bis substitute is ac
cepted as a three years' volunteer, nnd remains so
long not liable to urafi, the principal, by the previ
tiou of the law of 161, just referred to, is insured
against the risk of being drafted for the wboleperiod
for which his substitute enlisted, no matter how many
uraiia way occur neiween too eiilisiiuuu-oi lue suu
stilute aud the expiration of his term of service.
But tho tiovernniunt, uuder b;s provision, is to be at
no expense in consequeuco of the aulhurized substi
tution of ono iudividuel for anolher in the draft..
The party who desires to avail himself of the benefit
of tbo privilego conferred by the law, is properly
aud justly required to compensate tiio substitute.
Kuch being the provisiou of th law of lbti4 on the
ubjeot of "substitutes'1 furnished in auticiputiun of
a draft, the law of March 3d, labi, provides (iu its
2Jd section) as follows :
"That any person or persons enroled in any sub
district may, after notice of a draft, and before tho
sauio shall have taken place, cause to be mustered
into the service of the Inited States such number of
recruits, not subject to dn-.ft. at they may deem expe
dient, which recruits shall stand to tne credit of the
persona thus causing them to be mustered iu, and
shall betaken as substitutes for sucb persons, or so
many of them aa may be drafted, to the extent of
the number of sucb recruits, and iu the Of dor desig
nated by the principals at thu time such recruits are
thus as aforesaid mustered in."
It ia clear thut ibis enactment provides for quite
another case than that contemplated by o provisio"
to which I have been adverting in "JB statute iSof

Ll mJ" ,he'v'"'-on of tu 23d sootion of tho act of
Ml,eU, 1805, ho may. in advance of a druft,
"Cause to be mustored into the service'1 a "rocruit
notsubject to adralt," which "recruit" will siand
to th credit" of the enroled persou, oausiug him to
bu mustored in, iu th event of Ihe prlucipal being
drafted, and be taken, on Ihe bappeuiug of that con
tingency, aa a aubstituio for such principal. But
the "credit" shall avuil him only for the particular
draft iu advance and anticipation of which he may
have secured the "reeruit."
There is no provlsien in tba act of 1S63 that th
persen furnishing a recruit, uuder the 22 1 section,
shall be "exempt from drrft" during the time for
which th reeruit may havo been accepted and eu
Bated. But Die only beuofit which a person so fur
nishing a reeruit derives, under the aot of 1X05, ia
the seourirg, in the event of bis beiug drafted, of a
credit" uu th particular draft iu anticipation of
which th "recruit" may hav been furnished. The
"recruit" may be mustored into the service for three
years, and yet, as a substitute, he can only avail the
person who caused him to be mustered in for, and
V. ith respect to the one draft before, and in anticipa
tion of which he was obtained. Th liability ot th
principal to be drafted at any other drafts occurring
after th mustering in of th "recruit," and during
th term of disservice, is aot at all affected. There
is manifestly, therefore, no eonlliot between the re
spective suctions of the acts of 1864 aud Istii, to
which you hav called mv attenlion. One doe uot
imping upon, nor even eios th i-atb of, tho other.
They giv different aud instiuct right and privileg
es to die oitisea liable to draft He has the afterua
tire course to pursue before aey draft, either to buy
a "substitute", and scour him lo Le mustered iu,
and thus obtain exemption from th draft during th
eulir term of eu-iuicnt of the substitute, if th
latter be to long not liable lo draft, or be may pro
uro for th liovtruuieut a "recruit" uot liable to
draft, and obtaia uredil for sucb rworuit in eaa h
