JULY, 1862. 233

Intervention -- The cursed fields of the Chickahominy -- Titanic

fightings, but no generalship -- McClellan the first to reach James

river -- The Orleans leave -- July 4th, the gloomiest since the birth

of the republic -- Not reinforcements, but brains, wanted; and brains

not transferable! -- The people run to the rescue -- Rebel tactics --

Lincoln does not sacrifice Stanton -- McClellan not the greatest

culprit -- Stanton a true statesman -- The President goes to James

river -- The Union as it was, a throttling nightmare! -- A man needed!

-- Confiscation bill signed -- Congress adjourned -- Mr. Dicey --

Halleck, the American Carnot -- Lincoln tries to neutralize the

confiscation bill -- Guerillas spread like locusts.
