during the struggle, however much they deprecate the war itself. The time has passed for unfair and sensational accounts of battles. The Century Magazine is giving carefully prepared accounts by the actors on both sides, the chief historical danger of which is personal, and not sectional injustice; and Scribner's recent series are in the main fair and impartial histories of the campaigns of the war. That of The Army Under Pope is eminently so; while that of The Virginia Campaign of 1864 and 1865, by the late General A. A. Humphreys, is written with as much candor as ability. General Humphreys does, or at least attempts to do, justice to both sides, and closes his work with the soldierly remark: It has not seemed to me necessary to attempt a eulogy upon the Army of the Potomac or the Army of Northern Virginia. It was not necessary for that distinguished officer to eulogize the Army of the Potomac, nor is it necessary, if it were becoming in us, to boast of the conduct of the Ar

The broken mug. by John Esten Cooke. [The following poem, written by John Esten Cooke in the summer of 1865, on breaking the mug he had carried through the war, will be read with peculiar interest just now in view of the recent lamented death of the distinguished author, who was widely known in the literary world for the many productions of his facile pen, but who will live in the hearts of old Confederates as one who was true to his colors to the last—who, unlike the infamous G. W. Cable, did not desert during the war, and has not deserted since:] My mug is broken, my heart is sad; What woes can fate still hold in store? The friend I cherished a thousand days Is smashed to pieces on the floor; Is shattered, and to Limbo gone; I'll see my mug no more! Relic, it was, of joyous hours, Whose golden memories still allure— When coffee made of rye we drank, And gray was all the dress we wore; When we were paid some cents a month, But never asked for more!

increase in power, population, and wealth in the future will be simply incredible. The census of 1900 will see Texas outvoting New York, and Alabama passing Pennsylvania in power. When people have lost everything save honor, as we had done in 1865, our first duty became to preserve that untarnished. The Union had power, wealth, art, poetry, the press, the histories, and the school-books to impress their story upon future generations. We had naught but our own invincible courage and enduraw so many on our pension list that our fund is absorbed before adequately supplying their necessities. As time goes on, we have more needy and broken-down comrades. Some of them are already in the poor-house. Many are on the way there. Since 1865 we have been treated with chivalric courtesy and kindness by Union soldiers, and I have never heard of one of them acting toward our comrades otherwise than most generously. We have consistently voted pensions for them, for honorable soldiers des

most and the bravest. And I regret exceedingly that many of the facts and figures I shall give you are reproduced from memory, though I am quite sure they will approximate exactitude. My familiarity with all the affairs of the State during the last three years of the war was such as to enable me to state facts with reasonable certainty. The principal records of the State, covering that period, in the Executive department, were seized and carried to Washington by the Federal authorities in 1865, where they yet remain. And, though efforts have been made to that end, the officials would neither return the original nor permit copies to be made for the use of the State. No doubt such a course was designed to serve some great and wise State policy, though exactly what it was, beyond the pleasure of irritating and disobliging our people, I have never been able to see. But so it is; we are utterly without official records in North Carolina concerning the most eventful period in our annal

Campaign of 1864 and 1865. Narrative of Major-General C. W. Field. [It is due to the gallant author of the following paper to say that it was not written for publication, but for the private use of General E. P. Alexander, who was at that time—several years after the war —contemplating a history of Longstreet's corps. The narrative is, however, so interesting and valuable that we take the liberty of publishing it as material for the future historian.] I joined the division at Bull's Gap, east Tennessee, about March 13th, 1864; remained there for some weeks, then fell back to Zollicoffer, and, finally, about the middle of April, took the cars for Gordonsville, Virginia. A few days after our arrival there, General Lee came over and reviewed McLaws's division and mine and aroused great enthusiasm among the troops. This, with the fact of our rejoining the Army of Northern Virginia, and getting back to Old Virginia, where we wished to serve, operated very beneficially upon
