address, followed by Dr. A. P. Dutcher of Pennyslvania who made the in-

exampled progress of medical science, and closed with a plea to the facul-
ty "to perform their duties with an eye to honor the profession, interests
of learning, and cause of humanity." - - (5)

writes of the part played by the sixth cavalry in Sheridan's raid, and de-
scribes the condition of Spottsylvania battlefield, and says that old,
worn-out, lame, and gray plantation hands rushed out to greet the soldiers
and express joy in their freedom. One old gray-haired mother said: "Bress
de Lord, you's cum. We's been watchin' and prayin' for you."
Rations were scarce, and the corn and bacon that was hidden was always
found.
The loss of men at Ladd's farm was 40 killed and wounded. Adjutant
H. M. Baldwin, one of the bravest officers, was left mortally wounded on
the battlefield. - - (21)

2519 - L. Sept. 29; ed: 2/1 - Amid all the victories over which the North is
exulting, there is a constant looking forward to the prospective capture
of Richmond. At present every indication points to its speedy capture.
Sherman will no doubt send two corps of his army to Lynchburg by way of
Knoxville. This would enable the combined forces of Sherman and Sheridan,
on both sides of Richmond, to move down on the city "like an avalanche from
the mountain sides."
"Lee will make a desperate effort to avoid impending ruin in Virginia,
but it is written in the decrees of God." (13)

the Rebel lines in front of Grant. Lee is putting forth every effort to
