The banquet at the St. Claire hotel was presided over by the president (General W. H. F. Lee), and was a magnificent affair. We regret that we have not room for further notice of the feast of reason and flow of soul which made the occasion one of far more than ordinary interest. The officers of last year (General W. H. F. Lee, president, George L. Christian and Leroy S. Edwards, secretaries, Major R. Stiles, treasurer, &c.,) were unanimously re-elected. Renewals for 1878 are now in order. With this number the subscriptions of a large number of our subscribers will expire, and we beg that they will notify us at once of their desire for us to continue our monthly visits by forwarding the amount of their subscription by check, post-office money-order, or in registered letter. We beg immediate attention to this matter, as we cannot se

spects, indeed everything of interest concerning them all. The Virginia division of the Army of Northern Virginia has had a very efficient organization, and its annual reunions have been very delightful. General Fitz.

th Carolina volunteers, in charge of a select battalion of sharp shooters, received a wound from which he died in a few minutes on the field. This brave and worthy young officer, says Colonel Perrin, in his official report of the transaction, fell while boldly walking along the front line of his command, encourging his men, and selecting favorable positions for them to defend. He was educated and accomplished-possessing in a high degree every virtuous quality of the true gentle — man and Christian. He was an officer of most excellent judgment, and a soldier of the coolest and most chivalrous daring. Late in the afternoon of this day, during the attack of Lieutenant-General Longstreet's corps and a portion of Major-General Anderson's division upon the enemy's left, Major-General Fender, having ridden to the extreme right of his command, to advance his division should the opportunity offer, received a severe would in the leg from a fragment of a shell, which subsequently proved fa

to Miss Tillie Russell, Mrs. Holmes Conrad, Or Mrs. Marshall Willis, Committee Ashby Memorial Association, Winchester, Va. The reunion of the Richmond howitzers, that splendid corps of artillery, whose guns were heard on well nigh every field from Big Bethel to Appomattox, came off on the 13th of December, the anniversary of the battle of Fredericksburg, and was a really magnificent affair. The banquet, served in the best style of the St. Claire hotel, and presided over by Judge George L. Christian, was really superb, and was heartily enjoyed by all present. The speeches of W. J. Hardy, of New York, the orator of the evening, and Leigh Robinson, Esq., of Washington, O. G. Clay, Jr., Captain Henry Hudnall, and Rev. Dr. J. B. Hawthorne of Richmond, who responded to the regular toasts, and of Rev. G. W. Dame, of Baltimore, and Carlton McCarthy, Esq., of Richmond, who responded to volunteer toasts, were all admirable, and were well worth preserving in permanent form. We expec

d enterprise on a basis of permanency, so that our children may have the means of vindicating the truth of history after the actors in the great struggle shall have passed away. We really do not know how better some one of large means could invest money for coming years and hand his name down to posterity as a public benefactor than by linking it with this effort to preserve the history of our people. We know of no better investment for even a small amount. We recommend that Judge George L. Christian be elected Treasurer and Manager of the Endowment fund of the Society. Finances. We are glad to be able to report that we have been able to fully redeem the assurance made in 1879, that we had made an arrangement by which in future the Papers will be published without risk of indebtedness to the Society. We only regret that (from various causes which we could neither foresee nor avert) our receipts fell off during 1880 and 1881, so that we could not meet our expectation of p
