conception of purgatory I recall how I felt on that September day when General Pendleton, having pretty nearly exhausted himself, turned sud- denly and said "Well, you say you were in Williamsport on Monday? (wasn't nearer than Greencastle). Did you see any of our forces there?" "No." "What!" burst in both the old persecutor and the Captain of the battery, "you were in Williamsport on Monday and didn't see any of our forces?" (I did see a very distinct rope suspended from the limb of a very distinct tree just about then, but I soon came to the rapid conclusion that if the announcement of there having been no troops there on that occasion created such a demonstrative expression of sur- prise, it was barely possible I might be mistaken in regard to the matter. At all events it made very little difference to me, and I was prepared to yield a contested point to avoid dispute. Galileo did the same thing about a much more important matter, and why shouldn't I?)
So I replied that "I saw a great many wagons going through, and a great many stragglers, wagon guards, etc., and that there might have been some regular body of troops, but that I hadn't seen any."
I knew that 1500 Yankee cavalry cutting its way out from Harper's Ferry that morning couldn't pass within five miles of Williamsport or any other place without disturbing the rebel pulse slightly if there had been any rebels there.
"Oh! well go on," said the General. I wonder if I shall ever be forgiven for all the lies I told on that occasion? As the story was toler- ably well connected, I hope at least the Recording Angel will set it all down as one lie. It would suit me still better if he would drop a tear and blot it all out.
You say we must go on to Richmond this summer and see Castle Thunder. Nothing would give me greater pleasure. I want to show you where the new floor rises over the board that covers our aperture of expected deliverance. Poor Clark ! He could not live to see the country saved for which he worked and fought so bravely. If anyone doubts the existence of unalloyed patriotism, I do not, after knowing Major Clark.
We must get the new jailer to take up that floor in the corner and make us a present of the board that conceals the hole.
We burned down the infamous Salisbury prison as we came along that way. It is only necessary to see one of these prison lots to know that the suffering inflicted has been intentional. Why leave thousands of men without a plank to shelter them from sun or storm, compelling them to burrow in the ground and live like muskrats, when there is a primeval forest adjoining Salisbury, from which a small daily detail of these prisoners could fit up substantial shelter in a week? You can see murder on the face of it.
On this campaign I think I had a strong staff, which is indispensable to the proper management of from 2000 to 3500 cavalry. Remember that my division occupied a length of six miles along a road when in column, and in case of the head of a column striking an enemy, two or three hours must be consumed before the rear could be formed in line.

History of the Fifteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry.
General Stoneman is in Knoxville. I do not know what they are going to do with the Cavalry Division (10 regiments), of which only one regiment has as yet been ordered to be mustered out. Stoneman is a good commander, and managed the expedition well. He was very kind to me throughout, and usually made a confidant of me, and frequently acted upon my humble suggestions. I am satisfied that his failure last summer in Georgia was due chiefly to the quality and disci- pline of the troops he had with him. They were laden with plunder and of course did not want to run any risk of losing it by stopping to fight. You will be proud to learn that during our recent campaign in Georgia, the 15th Pennsylvania Cavalry captured a train of seven wagons in the forks of the Okonee and Appalachee loaded with $200,000 in gold, 11/2 million State money and bonds, 41/2 millions Confederate money, besides all the private baggage and official papers of General Beauregard and Pillow, and a large number of trunks filled with plate and valuables of citizens of Macon that had been run off to avoid General Wilson, and that this train was brought by a Sergeant and ten men of the said Fifteenth, a day's march, to me at Athens without a single article being disturbed. There! I am as proud of that as of all the fights the Regiment was ever in. One other thing I feel proud of-I marched my brigade across the State of South Carolina with greater order and discipline and with less straggling and thieving than in moving out of Tennessee. If you doubt it, go down some day among these aristocratic traitors and ask them. (The women can beg harder for safeguards and for the return of horses in the vicinity of Spartanburg, S. C., than anywhere I have ever been.) I do not claim that my mode of warfare is best adapted to South Carolina, but it is the best to ensure efficiency in a fight.
We didn't have the satisfaction of capturing Jeff, but we intercepted and forced the surrender of the four brigades of rebel cavalry that had started to escort him to Texas. General Wilson is very magnanimous about it. He telegraphed last week to one of my captains at Mont- gomery, Ala., that he owed the capture chiefly to us, that we had driven him into his hands, and that the first and only reliable information he received concerning Davis' position and movements was from us. This is very decent.
In regard to our relations with our "erring Southern Sisters," I have only time to say that I am for mercy. Kindness unlocks every heart. It has even made Abraham Lincoln a favorite with the Southern people. It is a very great loss to them and to the nation that he was killed.
Yours,
WM. J. PALMER.

MY DEAR FRANK,-
General Thomas is to return here and will have command of the most important department of the Union. The General is not much

of a statesman, but he is less apt to commit mistakes than Sherman. He seems to have no ambition except to do his duty. On the whole I think no particular brilliancy is needed in the reorganization of these States, and that there is more danger of overdoing the business of government down here than of anything else.
The letter I sent from Athens, Ga., for Mr. Morton, was of 110 further importance after the policy of the administration in regard to slavery had been fixed. But I wrote it at a time when I had been cut off for several months from all communication with the North and when I was without any means of judging of the feeling at the North on this subject. Sherman's first agreement with Johnston (a copy of which I received in North Carolina by flag of truce from General J. E. Johnston) led me to believe that the question was going to be staved off, which of course would result in a continuance of slavery. Yours,
WM. J. PALMER.
CAMP NEAR NASHVILLE, June 17, 1865.
MY DEAR FRANK,-
I have yours of the gth.
I believe the eventual reputation of every officer and of every regi- ment will depend on its reputation in the army, and among army officers.
In the glorious old Army of the Cumberland our Regiment is acknowledged as the foremost.
Do you think that history is going to be made up from the ephemeral letters of newspaper correspondents. Not if it will be worth reading.
It is, of course, quite delightful to be puffed up by newspaper men and to be identified along the streets and followed by little boys and curious men. It would be a great deal more delightful, if this sort of reputation were not so devilish uncertain in respect of permanency. Look at McClellan, Fremont, Butler, and all the rest of the glorious army of martyrs.
The correspondents have undoubtedly let us alone. For this they have my sincere thanks, as they would probably have lied outrageously if they had decided to say anything about us. If you had been in my place you would have been as I have been, too proud to cultivate this sort of thing. You would not have known exactly how to go about it, and you would finally have come to the conclusion that as far as repu- tation was concerned, you would be willing to stand or fall by the official reports of your superior officers, and that as nature happened to make you a gentleman it would be best to hold on to that much anyhow, the rest being, to say the least, uncertain.
Your newspapers, came tumbling in upon me to-day all of a heap. I suppose the Nashville postmaster thinks they will be better appreciated if they come by wholesale and therefore retains them until they accumu- late sufficiently. To-morrow being Sunday I shall endeavor to make amends for my long ignorance by reading up.
General Thomas returned this evening, and to-morrow I shall

probably see him in regard to my case. To tell the truth, until I see "Old Pap" I do not know whether I want to get out of the service just now or not. Captain Kellogg, his A.D.C., tells me the General wants me badly to stay.
I will remember Field if I strike him. I have applied for a Majority for Captain McAllister, my A.A.A.G., and a Captaincy for Lieutenant Taylor, both commissions to be sent to them to your care direct from the Governor. Please give them to the gentlemen as they pass through Philadelphia.
The Regiment will probably be mustered out next Thursday and start home on Saturday. I wish you could have come out. If I remain in the service you must do so by all means. Yours,
WILLIAM.
