Pickens, at Edgefield, South Carolina, who has carefully preserved all the books and manuscripts collected by her late husband. This is a most important and interesting fact connected with the unwritten history of the rebellion. It shows how difficult it was even for the most sagacious men to read the signs of the times, and the events following proved that the people knew more than their rulers and assumed leaders. Letter from Judge Campbell. New Orleans, 11th December, 1878. Dr. J. William Jones, Secretary Southern Historical Society: My Dear Sir — Your letter of the 4th instant, inclosing a printed copy of a letter addressed to the New York Sun and published as containing unwritten war history, and requesting some explanation on the subject, has been received. The letter represents that after the inauguration of President Lincoln Governor Pickens, of South Carolina, appointed commissioners to visit Washington city, and who opened negotiations with the President, throug

always bring me happiness. I hope you will visit the mountains of Virginia this summer, and it would give me great pleasure if you will come and see us at Lexington. I can assure you of a cordial welcome and the sympathy of early friends. Most truly yours, R. E. Lee. Mr. W. W. Corcoran. White Sulphur Springs, 14 August, 1869. My Dear Sir — I gratefully acknowledge the receipt of eight hundred and five dollars, the proceeds of the concert given by Madam Wieller, Mrs. McDowell, Misses Jones and Heald and Hon. Blacque Bey for the benefit of the Episcopal church in Lexington, Virginia, and in the name of the vestry present their sincere thanks to those who so kindly undertook and so successfully executed it, as well as to all those who generously patronized it. Besides the material aid which this sum will give to the church, the sympathy it extends to the congregation trying to maintain and enlarge it, will encourage them to continue their efforts until they shall finally s

of orders, I am especially indebted. They rode in the midst of their troops under the severest fire, and exhibited that cool courage so essential in an officer on the field. There are many other officers of lower grade who well deserve particular mention; among them I desire to call attention to the admirable conduct of Colonel Peck, Ninth Louisiana, commanding Hays' brigade; Colonel Atkinson, commanding Evans' brigade; Colonels Funk and Dungan, commanding the remnants of the Stonewall and Jones' brigades, of Terry's command. I regret to state that my loss was heavy in both officers and men, amounting in the aggregate, as shown by tabular report of brigade commanders, to 698. Among the killed are Colonel J. H. Lamar and Lieutenant-Colonel Van Valkenburg, both of the Sixty-first Georgia regiment, of Evans' brigade, and both meritorious officers. Colonel Lamar, a most promising young officer, was shot from his horse at the head of his regiment. Several other regimental commander

The North Carolina battalion at Averasboroa — letter from General Taliaferro. Richmond, February 27th, 1879. Dr. J. William Jones, Secretary Southern Historical Society: My Dear Sir — It is but an act of justice that I should state that the communication of Captain Graham Daves in the March number of the Society Papers, meets my cordial approval, and that as far as I can I adopt it as a true and proper addendum to my report of the conflict at Averasboroa. The efficiency and bravery of the North Carolina battalion in that action has been repeatedly mentioned by me since the war, and I have often regretted that I could not recall the name of its commander, whose gallantry was conspicuous and the subject of commendation by myself and others. I cannot remember now what reports were sent in to me by subordinate commanders — if in fact any were made — and thus, as I state in the report, the names of many deserving special notice were unhappily omitted. I do remember well, ho

command to burn all the bridges (fourteen in number) on the railroad leading to York, to which place I marched my brigade and rejoined the division, from which we had been separated since June 26th. Marching thence to Gettysburg, we participated in the battle of July 1st. In accordance with orders from Major-General Early, I formed my brigade in line of battle on the right of the division--one regiment, the Twenty-sixth Georgia, having been detached to support the artillery under Lieutenant-Colonel Jones. About 3 o'clock P. M. I was ordered to move my brigade forward to the support of Major-General Rodes' left. The men were much fatigued from long marches, and I therefore caused them to move forward slowly, until within about three hundred yards of the enemy's line, when the advance was as rapid as the nature of the ground and a proper regard for the preservation of my alignment would permit. The enemy had succeeded in gaining a position upon the left flank of Doles' brigade,

Operations of a section of the Third Maryland battery on the Mississippi in the Spring of 1863. By Captain W. L. Ritter. Baltimore, Md., February 27, 1879. Rev. John William Jones, D. D., Secretary Southern Historical Society, Richmond, Va.: Dear Sir — I give a few items which may serve as a branch link in the great historical chain that is being forged for the future historian. April 2, 1863, Lieutenant Ritter was ordered to Deer creek, up the Mississippi river, to take command of a section of the Third battery of Maryland artillery, commanded by Lieutenant Bates, of Waddell's Alabama artillery. This section, with one of Bledsoe's Missouri battery and one of a Louisiana battery, were under the command of Lieutenant Wood, of the Missouri artillery. These sections were all attached to General Ferguson's brigade, that had been operating along the Mississippi, firing into transports and harassing the enemy in every conceivable manner. In March, 1863, when Porter's fleet

Beauregard's and Hampton's orders on Evacuating Columbia — letter from Colonel A. R. Chisolm. [The following letter from a gallant officer of General Beauregard's staff seems to settle beyond question the character of the orders given when the Confederates evacuated Columbia.] New York, March 23, 1879. Rev. J. William Jones, D. D., Secretary Southern Historical Society, Richmond, Va.: My Dear Sir — I have read in the April number of the Society Papers Colonel James Wood Davidson's communication relative to the burning of Columbia by General Sherman, and it may be a matter of interest in future that I inform you of what took place between Generals Beauregard and Hampton on the evening previous to the evacuation of that city. As Aid-de-Camp to General Beauregard I was the only officer present with the two Generals. Beauregard had arrived late in the day from Charleston. Late in the evening Hampton called on him at the hotel, and after stating the condition of affairs in h

The battle of Williamsburg--reply to Colonel Bratton. By Colonel D. K. Mcrae. Wilmington, N. C., June 3d, 1879. Rev. J. William Jones, Secretary, Richmond: My Dear Sir-The June number of the Southern Historical Society Papers, being volume VII, No. 6, of the series, has been placed in my hands by a friend, who called my attention to a paper purporting to be a narrative of Colonel Bratton, Sixth South Carolina regiment, of the operations of his regiment at Williamsburg, May 5th, 1862. This paper seems to have been written in 1868, and was originally prepared for General E. P. Alexander. The paper does not confine itself to a narrative of the operations of that regiment, but goes on to describe the action of General J. A. Early's brigade, on the left of our line, in an encounter it had with a brigade of General W. S. Hancock, in the evening of that day, and the author allows himself to criticise the conduct of the officer then in command of the Fifth North Carolina regiment
