counties, but the exercises went on, morning and evening prayers were attended as usual, even when Federal troops were on the campus. Under these circumstances, few students had either the opportunity or desire to continue their course unbroken. Many began their studies before the war; a few of these came back, lame and halting, or perhaps with an arm or a leg missing. We find numerous records like these: William Harrison Craig, matriculated 1857, C. S. A., A. B. 1868; or like this, Walter Clark, Adj. C. S, A.. A. B. 1864, Lieut.-Col. C. S. A.; or like Melvin E. Carter, Capt. C. S. A., matriculated 1867. The commencement of 1865 was the climax of sorrows. The Senior class on the first of June, consisted of fifteen members, but because of the exigencies of the country only William Curtis Prout was permitted to complete the course. Yet, because they accepted the invitation of the president to perform the usual exercises on commencement day, Edward G. Prout, Henry A. London an

roned like a common felon; John H. Reagan, late Confederate postmaster-general, was likewise confined in Fort Warren. Other late officials had escaped by flight in disguise and found safety in foreign lands. What future was reserved for the South, prostrate and helpless, wholly subject to the will of the victorious North, appeared to be beyond the scope of prophetic vision. A scattering of officers and soldiers. Many Texas officers, civil and military, went to Mexico, among them Governors Clark and Murrah, Generals Smith, Magruder, Walker, Hardeman and Bee, who were joined there by Generals Price, of Missouri; Hindman, of Arkansas, and Early of Virginia. General Joe Shelby, of Missouri, fulfilled his promise by leading a portion of his command into exile across the Rio Grande. Other officers of high rank, among whom were Generals Waul, DeBray and Majors, returned to their homes to endure whatever fate might be in reserve for them. The private soldiers and subaltern office

Fayetteville Arsenal. [from the Wilmington (N. C.) Messenger, March, 1896.] history of the Sixth (N. C.) Battalion Armory Guards. Hon. Walter Clark, Raleigh, N. C.: Dear Sir—In obedience to your request, I beg leave respectfully to write a sketch of the 6th Battalion Armory Guard, stationed at the Fayetteville Arsenal and Armory during the war between the States. It may be well to give a brief sketch of the Fayetteville Arsenal and Armory as a matter of historical record, touching the construction of the various buildings (as there is not a vestage of it left), having been totally destroyed by General Sherman on his famous march through the Carolinas. The Fayetteville Arsenal and Armory was located on what is known as Hay Mount, which overlooks the historic old city of Fayetteville, and was constructed by the United States Government previous to the war, under the immediate supervision of Mr. William Bell, as architect; but in charge of various army officers of high dis

P. ounds, Henry C. Alfred, Lewis F. McMasters, John M. Lawrence, A. W. Lawrence. Besides the lieutenants named above, the captains of the several companies had in nearly every instance served as lieutenants previous to their promotion. Hon. Walter Clark, now Justice of the Supreme Court of the State, who will compile and edit the histories of our North Carolina regiments, was, at its organization, a drillmaster in the 22d. He was then little more than a boy. Until March 2, 1862, the res very near to, and affording cover to, the Federal lines. Major C. C. Cole was in charge of the detail, and next day commanded the skirmish line in front of Pender's Brigade. He was ably seconded by Captain Laban Odell, of Company M., and Lieutenant Clark, of Company A. The brigade maintained its position throughout the action, repulsing every attack upon it, but not without heavy loss. Major Cole was much complimented for his handsome action in dispersing the strong force of the enemy's sk

Twenty-Eighth North Carolina Infantry. [from the daily Charlotte (N. C.) observer, Feb. 17, 1895.] General J. H. Lane writes its history. Another of the Historical war sketches prepared at the instance of Judge Clark—a record of glory and honor. At the request of Judge Walter Clark, General James H. Lane, of Auburn, Alabama, has prepared a sketch of his old regiment, the Twenty-eighth North Carolina. A copy of it is sent to the Observer and is herewith published. In a private letter tJudge Walter Clark, General James H. Lane, of Auburn, Alabama, has prepared a sketch of his old regiment, the Twenty-eighth North Carolina. A copy of it is sent to the Observer and is herewith published. In a private letter to the editor General Lane says of his work: My old regiment has a splendid record and I do not feel equal to such a theme. I have done my best in the way of a chronological summary of its brilliant achievements. My object in interspersing it freely with unpublished reminiscences—personal incidents of my own knowledge—is to make it more interesting to the general reader. It required both time and labor to get up the sketch, and yet it has been a great pleasure to me to do it. The Twenty-<
