Trees whittled down at Horseshoe. Captain W. W. Old gives a graphic account of this memorable engagement. Personal reminiscences. Senator Daniel refers to war Record of prominent Norfolk Attorney. A number of accounts by gallant participants in the sanguinary conflict variously termed the salient or Bloody A preface to Captain Old's review of the tree incident at Bloody Angle, the Times-Dispatch published on Sunday a short reference to the captain's war record by Senator Daniel. The entire contribution follows: Captain William W. Old, the eminent lawyer, of Norfolk, Va., served as aide-de-camp of Major General Edward Johnson, andimes called the Bloody Angle, happened to be formed and fortified, and furnishes other valuable data which will enlighten the historian. Very respectfully, John W. Daniel. Editor of The Times-Dispatch. Sir:—I have read with interest and pleasure Four Years Under Marse Robert, by Major Robert Stiles. The so lamented gal

souls, and gave them back to their Creator for their land's sake. Harvard University points to the marble engravures on her walls which bear the names of her sons who fell in battle. They were not so numerous as those of the University, though they represented a much larger body of alumni. Every college and school and academy in Virginia whose boys went to battle should follow these worthy examples. I ask right of way in your columns for this Roll of Honor. Very respectfully, John W. Daniel. Any errors or omissions in this list should be reported at once to Mrs. Noah K. Davis, University of Virginia, in order that there may be a complete roster of the students of the University of Virginia who died in the service of their country. Below is given their names, the States from which they came and the place and year of their death: Abercrombie, L. B., Tex. Alexander, C. A., Va., Fort Delaware, 1863.

ose of its career. Colonel Christian was a V. M. I. man and one of those sturdy fighting men who always had his place in the picture by the blasting of the guns. His adventures from Bethesda Church to Morris island bring vividly before the mind the days that verily tried men's souls. The army was so steadily fighting at the time of this action that reports are scant, and Colonel Christian is doing his State and his comrades worthy service in thus giving his memory of valiant deeds. John W. Daniel. Editor of The Times-Dispatch. Sir–This was the bloodiest fight of our Civil War considering the number engaged on our side. The per cent. in killed and wounded was three times as great as that of the French at the battle of Waterloo. The loss of officers was full ninety per cent. of all engaged (mostly killed.) It was there the dashing Colonel Edward Willis, of the 12th Georgia (in temporary command of our brigade), was killed. His staff officer, the chivalrous young Lieutena

at Appomattox on the 9th of April, 1865, Captain Bouldin being in command of the regiment and Mr. Gaines commanding the company at the time. Two pieces of artillery were captured from the Federals and a number of prisoners taken in the course of that last charge and two of the Fourteenth regiment's men were killed. These are important facts in connection with the history of that eventful day, but there is more. Mr. Gaines is just from Appomattox, where he went over the field with Senator John W. Daniel and Hon. H. D. Flood. He took particular pains to trace the movements of his regiment on that memorable day. He located the identical spot at which the two pieces of Federal artillery were taken, and it is three-quarters of a mile northwest and in advance of the North Carolina monument. However, this was not the limit of the Fourteenth Cavalry's advance movement. Mr. Gaines found still standing an old log kitchen which was pierced by a sold shot from a cannon during the fight. An

Confederate prisoners on Johnson's Island, is told in the enclosed article by a loving comrade who cherishes and honors his memory, and who fitly says: It is a sacred duty to defend those who sacrificed their lives in the God-given right of self-defence and preservation of home. Captain Beall stood for the principle which animates the pen of his loyal friend, and that pen expresses also the duty which a loyal people owe to those who suffered and died for them. Very respectfully, John W. Daniel. The lamented John Y. Beall ranked as captain in the Confederate Navy, having been appointed by Hon. S. R. Mallory, Secretary of the Confederate Navy, at Richmond, Va., in 1863. The integrity of Captain Beall's motives, the incorruptibility of his principles, and the injustice and illegality of his execution by General Dix, in February, 1865, on Governor's Island, N. Y., are well known. He was a devout Christian, a thorough gentleman, and an accomplished scholar. His home was in

ar came, and, like so many of the gallant boys of this illustrious school, soon became a drillmaster of the crude Virginia Volunteers, then a captain, and a little later a field officer of the famous Fifteenth. When the Fifteenth, with Semmes' Brigade, was flung into the crucible of battle, the fine mettle of its composition appeared, and Morrison, its commander, showed the stuff he was made of. The Thirty-second was its twin comrade, and with the gallant Georgians, carried high the shredded flag of Lee's Paladins in the gamest fight of the Nineteenth Century. I have added to the colonel's account General Ezra A. Carman's comparison of the Sharpsburg with other great battles. He commanded there the Thirty-fourth New York, and is a careful and painstaking scholar, who has made a special study of the Sharpsburg combat. It is hoped that some officer or soldier who was there will do for the Thirty-second Virginia what Colonel Morrison has done for the Fifteenth. John W. Daniel.

re irresistible. They pushed on, under his gallant leadership, and completely routed the panic-stricken soldiers of Fighting Joe Hooker. After Generals Jackson and A. P. Hill were wounded, General Rodes was in supreme command, but he modestly and patriotically yielded to General J. E. B. Stuart, who had been sent for by General Pendleton of the artillery. After this battle he was promoted to full major general, and put in charge of Battle's, Ramseur's (now Cox's), Doles' (now Cook's), and Daniel's (now Lewis') brigades. General Rodes was a precise and somewhat stern military man, of resolute expression and soldiery bearing, and enjoyed the implicit confidence of his superior officers, as well as his troops. A fragment of shell struck him behind the ear, and in a few hours this brave, skillful and trusted officer yielded up his heroic life as a holocaust to his country's cause. He married the accomplished Miss Virginia Hortense Woodruff, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., who survives with a so

Witcher, which consisted of six Virginia regiments, and also of Brigadier-General Harry T. Hays' consolidated brigade of ten regiments, under Colonel York, and the old Stonewall brigade of five Virginia regiments, under Brigadier-General James A. Walker; in all, twenty-six regiments, many of which were remnants. John W. Daniel. Major Hunter's story. On the night of May 11th, 1864, Major-General Edward Johnson sent me back of his line of battle at Spotsylvania to Lieutenant-General Ewell to tell him he was sure that the enemy would attack his division next morning, the 12th; that they were massed in his front, and that there was every manifestation of intended assault; also, that the position could not be held without the artillery, which had been moving off. I rode to General Ewell and gave him th

late to assure the success that might have otherwise been expected. He also confirms the oft expressed opinion of Confederate officers that had the artillery not been displaced the assaults of the enemy would have been repulsed throughout. John W. Daniel. Owing to the nature of the country, artillery could not be used to any great advantage in the Wilderness fight; the thickets prevented. My artillery was with Ewell's corps, which was the left wing of the Confederate army, and near Johompson Brown was killed. The other section was placed on a cross road, which passed through Johnson's entrenchments on the left of the turnpike. At one time during the battle I saw an officer being carried off the field, and was told it was Major Daniel, of Early's division. Double quick and double canister on May 10, 1864, we marched from there to Spotsylvania. Arrived there, according to my recollection, the morning of the 10th of May. My battery belonged to Colonel Cutshaw, and was in

e material to our history, which would otherwise have been lost, and some papers which throw vivid lights over great events. It will be pleasing to his comrades of other days to hear that he will probably write more fully than has ever been done the story of McLaughlin's battalion of artillery which is one of surpassing heroism. His conscientious love of truth, his experiences as a soldier and his accomplished pen give peculiar value and interest to his writings. Very respectfully, John W. Daniel. Last days of the Confederate Army in Southwest Virginia. This article would, perhaps, more appropriately be entitled the last days of the Thirteenth Battalion, Virginia Light Artillery. Incidently, however, it will contribute something to the history of the rest of the forces in that region. The greater part of the narrative is copied verbatim from a diary kept at the time. The passages taken from this diary are under quotation marks. Several years after the close of the war
