General Eppa Hunton at the battle of Bull Run, July 21, 1861. Statement that he saved the Confederate Alliam, and met the 8th Virginia, commanded by Colonel Eppa Hunton, who had been ordered to the next day's battlouse on the Sudley Road to prevent a surprise. Colonel Hunton replied: Your suggestion is a good one, and I t, I cannot refrain from mentioning. It showed Colonel Hunton's regard for his men. He said: Have you got the Tiger rifles. These fellows claimed to be Colonel Hunton's men, but some of the 8th being on the lookoutn July 21, 1861? I will endeavor to prove that General Hunton was the man. The people in the vicinity of tent information to the Colonel at once, and he (Colonel Hunton) sent word to General Beauregard by the same me's way.

t followed. With Prefatory note by U. S. Senator, J. W. Daniel. Editor of The Times-Dispatch: Sir.—I enclose for the Confederate Column an article on The Battle of Cedar Creek, October 19, 1864, by Captain J. S. McNeily, of Vicksburg, Miss. This gentleman, who now edits the Vicksburg Herald, was a participant in that battle, and is much respected by those who know him. He is the son-in-law of Colonel Edmund Berkeley, formerly of the famous 8th Virginia Infantry, succeeding General Eppa Hunton in that honorable command.
