The night before the battle, he had crossed over and examined, with a captain of engineers, the whole ground and all the positions. Lee retired, and was able to repass the Potomac. Public opinion excited to an extraordinary degree by the success, accused the victorious General of not knowing how to profit by his victory. But now military writers of the first order, at the head of whom may be cited the General of Engineers, Humphreys, who commanded a division at Gettysburg, have proved to demonstration that in not attacking Lee, at the time of his crossing the Potomac, Meade showed himself as much a good General, as lie was a good citizen, in not hesitating to sacrifice popularity to his conscientious convictions as a soldier. Meade followed Leb into Virginia and gained new advantages ; when he saw his army reduced to inaction, by the detachment of a number of reinforcements for the Army of the West, he took up his winter quarters north of the Hapidan. Next year opened that memorable campaign, which began by the bloody battles of tlie Wilderness, SpoWyIvania, Coal Harbor, the Passage of the James, and the investment of Petersburgb. Gen. Grant, Lieutenant-General of all the armies of the Union, had his headquarters with the Army of the Potomac, which Meade commanded in chief. To others than these two rivals in glory, such a situation would have offered many# difficulties; but competing with each other in tact and abnegation, they had no thought but for the public cause. It may be said that this good understanding was the salvation of the Union. tractlng from the credit of his mode of living in the army, which he regarded as indispensable to the dignity of his command. For four years, though the tide of war ran near to Philadelphia, he had hot been able to embrace them, when, in the month of September, 1804, Gen. Grant gave him a week's leave of absence; it was four days to pass with his family. On arriving at Philadelphia lie was not taken to liis modest residence. IC was an elegant house in a new quarter, to which Mrs. Meade conducted him. "You are in my house," she said to him smiling. While he was with the army, his fellow citizens did not choose that tlie victor of Gettysburg should have 110 "home," and one day they had taken Mrs. Meade to a house in Deianey Place—the rooms were furnished, the closets filled. "You are at home," they said to her, and the gift was made with such delicacy, that the General did not know the names of those who had proposed it, nor those who had contributed to it. It was by similar gifts that Generals Grant and Sherman and Farragut, saw their exploits recompensed. The Americans do not conceive that the impersonal being, "The State," has the right or power to pay their debts of gratitude. Peace did not put an end to the services that his country expected of him. Lawyors and Justices. TDRICK YARD. _LD JOSEPH P.

LIFE SIZE PORTRAITS In consecrating some lines to the great citizen whom America has just lost, I perform a sacred duty of gratitude which will be understood by all officers who have been sent to accompany foreign armies. During five months with the army of the Potomac I enjoyed the hospitality of Geueral Meade, its commander ; by his care my tent was always pitched beside his own ; every day a horse was placed at my disposal, that I might accompany him in the inspections that he constantly made to see everything with his own eyes; in the evening, in private conversation, he initiated mo into the affairs of his country, and with inexhaustible kindness explained matters connected with the war without ever wearying of the questions and objections that my inexperience suggested. Though both of us had passed the age when the heart is susceptible, there was establish«d between us a friendship that death lias ended sooner than might have been expected in the ordinary course of Nature. When I arrived at the Army of the Potomac in 18(54, Gen. Meade was in all his glory. It was but a year since ho had won the great battle of Gettysburg, which had saved the Union. They called him " Old Meade." In that young army of America, a General of forty-eight, was an old Geueral ; while I, with my fifty-three years, was almost a young Lieutenant-Colonel in the Army of France. George Gordon Meade was born tli3 31st of December, 1814, at Cadiz, whore his father held the Office of American Consul. His family was one of the city of Philadelphia, which lias always claimed General Meade as one of her children. There is in America a saying which well exhibits the social condition of the three great cities of the Union : "If you are introduced in New York, they Inquire 'how much you possess' ; in Boston, 'what you know'; in Philadelphia, 'who are you.' " General Meade did not belie this aristocratic pretension of the capital of Pennsylvania. He was a man of good society in every acceptation of the word, and if President Lincoln had lived it is probable that we should have seen General Meade in Paris, as the representative of his country In France. He entered the school of West Point 111 1831.* On tire 28th of June, 1803, a messenger arrived from Washington and invested Meade with the command of the Army of the Potomac. He had not solicited tiiis lwfnor. The unanimous voice of his comrades in arms designated him to the choice of the Government. He obeyed, feeling all the weight of responsibility that fell upon him. Three days later the battle of Gettysburg was won, the greatest pitched battle of the five years of that bloody war ; and it was a touching circumstance that his friend Reynolds. who for a moment bad been weighed against him in a choice of a commander for the army, was the first to fall in the struggle for the position that his military coup d'oeil recognized as indispensible to the success of the day. At the same epoch, Grant reduced Vicksburg, and opened the whole course of the Mississippi. The Union was saved. The army of the North numbered 70,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry and 300 cannon; That of the South wes 85,- 000 infantry, 8,000 cavalry and a nu■ me roils artillery. The Confederates : lost 31,000 men; 18,000 killed or 1 wounded, and 13,000 missing.

Later, President Johnson sent him to replace Pope in Alabama and Georgia, menanced with a horrible anarchy through the presence of old Confederate oillcers. Servant of the law as he loved to stylo himself, placing himself above all political passion as above all criminal complaisancc, lie was able to restore tranquility in those two States, and such was the high, moral position that lie acquired, that to his councils were due the constitutional reconstruction of Florida.. He had returned at last to Philadelphia, t otlie head of his large Department, and it was in that modest mansion in Delancey Place, where I had received a generous and fraternal hospitality, that, at the beginning of last November, a slight indisposition confined him to his bed. The malady took immediately a most serious form. A jaundice complicated with pueumcnia carried him off in a few days. They gave him a magnificent funeral. General Grant, with all the members of his Cabinet, came from Washington to Philadelphia on the 11th of November, to lake the lead in the sad ceremonial, at which attended deputations of the Senate, of (Congress, of the Army and of tlio Magistracy. All the city of Philadelphia was in mourning, the houses draped, the shops shut; the foreign consuls placed their flags at half-mast, tiie veterans of the war of the Secession assembled from all sides.

At the head of 30,000 men ho crossed the Potomac, invaded Marylaud, threatened Baltimore, and appeared at the gates of Washington. The Governm-ent, alarmed, wan tad to recall the Army of the Potomac. The firmness of Grant and Meade in resisting these appeals was unshaken ; one army corps only was sent to the North, and Early, fallen from his hopes, was obliged to rejoin Leo within the line» of Itichmond. So many brilliant services received their recompense: the 24th of August, 1804, the Senate ratified the nomination of Meado as Major- General in the Regular Army. The battle of Gettysburg had already gained for him the rank of Brigadier- General. Till the capture of Richmond in 1805, he retained command of the Army of the Potomac, and it was while suffering from fever, and keeping the saddle with difficulty, that he assisted at the last battle, which cutting in two the army of Lee, brought about a capitulation of the Confederate armies. The war had lasted five years. Old friends, separated by cruel discord, met after a long absence. When Lee came to sign the capitulation, he said : "Meade, your hair has got very gray." "You have had something to do with that," said the other smiling sadly, llis heart had in truth suffered cruelly in that war in which he had won so much honor. A stranger to the political passions that had kindled the strife, if he had seen with profound horror the Southern rebellion ; if with just pride he had felt awaken ill himself that marvelous faculty that science cannot impart, and which is like a gift of nature ; to grasp in the mind all the different movements of a field of battle of many miles, and to manoeuvre, and engage upon it more than a hundred and fifty thousand men ; neither the greatness of tiie crime of the enemy, nor the satisfaction of exerting his great military faculties could in him extinguish the sentiments of humanity. He was. humane. How often have I heard him say, "What glory can consolo us for the death of so many bravo men." Prodigal of his own blood, he was sparing of that of his soldiers; the sight of a house burned without necessity put him in a fury. A huge mortar, from which wonders were expected, had been brought before Petersburg. It made more noise than it did mischief. One day a bomb passing over the enemy's lines penetrated a house in Petersburg, occupied bywomen and childrCMi. He ordered the filing to cease. "Psychological" moments evidently made no part of his strategy. He adored children, and never saw any of them, without giving them some greenbacks. "They remind me," he said, "of those I left at homo." He had seven children ; the second served under him in the army ; the eldest, an invalid, whom ho was soon to lose, and the other live, were with their mother, formerly Miss Sergeant, of an old and good American family, whom he had married in 1840. Without fortune, ho sent them all ho could spare from his pay, without de- A.
