the proposed reciprocity. The first application for such a nice arrangement was made by Mr. Gallatin, our Minister at London, under instructions from Mr. Clay, as Secretary of State, dated June 19, 1826. On the 5th of July, 1827, Mr. Gallatin communicated to his Government the final answer of the British Minister, that it was utterly impossible for them to agree to the stipulation for the surrender of fugitive slaves ; and, when the application was renewed through our next Minister, Mr. James Barbour, the British Minister conclusively replied that the law of Parliament gives freedom to every slave who effects his landing on British ground. Yet a Democratic House of Representatives, in 1828, (May 10), requested the President To open a negotiation with the British Government, in the view to obtain an arrangement, whereby fugitive slaves, who have taken refuge in the Canadian provinces of that Government, may be surrendered by the functionaries thereof to their masters, upon maki

Jones, (Seventh Virginia cavalry,) being in advance, captured a party of the enemy's cavalry, but was kept at bay for some time by the enemy occupying a wood near Brandy; but having received a fresh supply of ammunition, pushed boldly forward this regiment by the road, General Robertson, with his main body, Sixth, Twelfth, and Seventeenth Virginia cavalry, keeping, by my direction, to the left, so as to sweep across the open country toward Barbour's, and flank the enemy's position. The enemy's force engaging us appeared to be cavalry only, and gave way gradually along the road toward Rappahannock Station; but, about midway between Brandy and Rappahannock, made a determined stand, in solid columns of squadrons, on the ridge, with skirmishers, mounted, deployed to the front, with which Jones soon became engaged with unequal force. I knew the country to be too much intersected by ditches to render operations free, and considered it ne

Company D promptly reformed and came into line; the other three companies, I am told, reformed and attached themselves for the remainder of the day to other regiments. They were not with me. Colonel Campbell's regiment, seven of my companies, Lieutenant Webb, of Company H, and a few rank and file from the three missing companies, engaged the enemy in the woods, and were exposed to a hot fire, when fresh troops came up and relieved us temporarily. Major James Barbour, General Ewell's Assistant Adjutant General, approached me soon afterwards and requested me to take my command to the support of a portion of his forces, which had advanced into the open field in front of the woods. My command advanced most gallantly through the woods and into the open field, although exposed to a front and right enfilade infantry fire, and bravely remained there until General George B.

By command Major-General Ewell, James Barbour, Acting-Adjutant General. The regiment was justly proud of this compliment from a soldier esteemed by the army as second to none, and in their affection the first of all. They marched gaily into action that morning, proud of their diminished ranks, which told the story of their deeds, and the trophy on their colors which showed them their General's approval. General Elzey had on that morning been in rear and selected a good position. When General Ewell came up he was so pleased t
