The latter part of August a general movement to the flank and rear of the enemy was made by the whole of the united forces.

They fought against two corps of rebels, which were driven back and through Jonesville to the southward.
I went for a week in a mad dream, my face shining and glowing with inner ecstasy and happiness. There did not seem to be time enough in the twenty-four hours of each day for reading and studying and writing.

There was a momentary pause; then a musical clinking, as the empty glasses returned to the board.
