y ever dear. It gives me unspeakable pleasure thus to bear testimony to the inestimable worth of your noble brother. Your friend, Now Rev. Dr. Geo. B. Strickler, of Atlanta, Georgia.G. B. S. The last extract is from a letter to Rev. Dr. Brown, of Richmond, from one who, at the time, belonged to the Rockbridge Artillery, but who was soon after promoted to a place on General Jackson's staff Dr. Brown published this extract in the Central Presbyterian. The writer says: The StoneDr. Brown published this extract in the Central Presbyterian. The writer says: The Stonewall Brigade received the attack well; was flanked by a strong body of the enemy, fell back a few rods, changed front and, again advancing, drove the enemy with great slaughter from the field and the cover which they sought. The result to our dear old brigade was fearful. Colonel Baylor, commanding, was mortally wounded, and O! how sad I am to tell you, that our dear friend, Captain Hugh A. White, of Lexington, the noblest of soldiers, fell pierced through his body, when in advance of the bri

rmies, in which he was so able and efficient a helper, elicited the sympathies and prayers of many Christians in Great Britain. He brought over also many very valuable books and tracts, some of which were republished for use in our armies. One of my most cherished mementos of the war is a portable Bible, commentary and concordance, which were brought over by Dr. Hoge, and copies of which were presented to many of the chaplains by that accomplished Christian woman and noble worker, Mrs. E. H. Brown (of the Central Presbyterian), who was appropriately called The chaplains' friend, and whose untiring labors in the hospitals won her the warm love of the soldiers, and doubtless many stars in the crown of rejoicing she now wears. Unfortunately, however, only a part of the Bibles and other supplies secured by Dr. Hoge succeeded in running the blockade, and many copies of God's word intended for our suffering soldiers were captured and scattered through the North as souvenirs.

d till I was laid aside from it on the last day of March. Others may continue the narrative of the communion and ingathering; but I am sure all who found peace did not make public profession, because it had yet not been determined what was best to be done about such cases. While this work went on my regiment subscribed $140.00 for reading-matter. I obtained about seventy copies of papers of all denominations, besides a monthly instalment of tracts through the soldiers' true friend, Mrs. E. H. Brown. The regiment, which was from the Valley, and which had known the evil power of the enemy, generously contributed to suffering citizens of Fredericksburg the creditable sum of $505.25; the Fourth Regiment also contributed $349.75, both of which sums were forwarded through me to the injured city. Contributions were also made by other regiments; but the amounts I cannot state. Two tracts which I had requested Rev. R. L. Dabney, D. D., to write, one on Profane Swearing, and one on Chr

a patriotic devotion to the cause of the Confederacy, immediately proposed to take the Clarence, with a crew of twenty men, and proceed to Hampton Roads, Virginia, and there cut out a gunboat or steamer, with which it was his intention to go on a raid against the Federal commerce. Captain Maffitt granted his request, gave him a howitzer, with ammunition and equipments, and the necessary small arms for a crew of twenty men, and bade him God-speed. Read was accompanied by Second-Assistant-Engineer E. H. Brown, so that, altogether, he had twenty-one men, besides himself. He immediately shaped his course for the capes of the Chesapeake Bay, drilling his crew, and preparing them for the arduous service which was expected of them. He also kept the men busy making wooden guns, as he sailed northward, to supply in appearance what he lacked in reality. Off the Windward Islands he chased several weeks, but failed to overhaul them, on account of the inferior sailing qualities of the

These fellows we have beaten were but skirmishers of a main army. Consequently we pushed down the river. Lieut. Commander Brown was twice wounded, though not disabled, in this action. Lieut. Gift also was wounded.

neglect, or apparent neglect, of the squadron should be wiped out by the capture or destruction of the Arkansas. The achievement of passing through the fire of such a fleet, at close quarters, will always remain the most creditable exploit in the history of the Confederate navy. Has it ever been matched in the history of any other navy? In General Orders, No. 51, from the war department, in Richmond, the following compliment was issued to the officers and crew of the Arkansas: Lieut Brown and the officers and crew of the Confederate steamer Arkansas, by their heroic attack upon the Federal fleet before Vicksburg, equalled the highest recorded examples of courage and skill. They prove that the navy, when it regains its proper element, will be one of the chief bulwarks of national defence, and that it is entitled to a high place in the confidence and affection of the country. Congress also passed the following joint resolution of thanks to Lieut. I. N. Brown and all und

river until within 22 miles off Baton Rouge, when, near midnight, her starboard engine broke down. She was made fast to the bank and repairs begun, which were finished about 8 A. M. the next morning under the superintendence of Third Assistant Engineer E. H. Brown, of Norfork, Va., the senior naval engineer at that time aboard. We again started, and coming in sight of the enemy's fleet, consisting of the iron-clad Essex, three gunboats, and some transports, all hands were beat to quarters andnd taking coal aboard. Gen Breckinridge, having awaited our coming until long after the appointed time, attacked the enemy on the morning of the 4th, drove him from Baton Rouge to the shelter of the lower fleet. On the morning of the 5th, Engineer Brown reported the engine repaired, but unreliable. A consultation was held between Lieut. Stevens and his officers, and at 9 A. M., 6th August, we started from the bank to attack the enemy's fleet, which now had been reinforced to fourteen vesse
