to victory. The smoke of battle soon concealed the young hero from his comrades, but when the line swept irresistably forward to drive the enemy before them and add Second Manassas to the long series of Confederate victories, it was found that Hugh White, too, had been killed, and those two young men who mingled so lovingly in the prayer-meeting of the night before had entered through the pearly gates, were walking the golden streets, and were wearing fadeless crowns of victory. Mrs. Margaret J. Preston (whose graceful verse has adorned so many bright pages of Southern literature, and who has sung so tenderly from the depths of a full heart concerning the heroes of the Confederacy) thus wrote to Captain White's afflicted mother: May the tender Jesus, who said Weep not to His own mother in the extremity of her sufferings, say the same to you, dear friend. What need have we to look away from the surroundings of our dear ones' deaths, to forget the battle and the blood, and all

A younger brother, who had fallen at Gaines's Mill, June 27, 1862. too, in one of those bright mansions which Jesus went to prepare for us. Thus on the 2d day of September, 1863, Francis Pendleton Jones passed from the earth. The death of Lieutenant William Fauntleroy Cocke, of Cumberland county, Virginia, has been thus touchingly described by the facile pen of Mrs. Margaret J. Preston: Captain Carter Harrison, in a letter to his brother, thus speaks of him: My intimate acquaintance with your noble brother, William, dates from the commencement of the war, when I had the honor to command the company in which he served; for it was an honor even to belong to that glorious army in which such men enlisted as privates. His modest and retiring disposition rendered it necessary to know him long and well to properly appreciate his great worth, that rare union o

earts! When peace came, the defeat of the South, its unconquerable loyalty to the lost cause, and its sad resignation at the inevitable found expression in Mrs. Preston's Acceptation, Requier's Ashes of glory, Flash's The Confederate flag, and, above all, Father Ryan's The sword of Robert Lee and The conquered Banner. Not unth seemed to deaden his poetic inspiration, though he remained an inimitable raconteur, and the friend of some of the most gifted poets of England and America. Mrs. Preston continued to write as late as 1887, when she published Colonial ballads, but she added nothing to her fame. Flash became a merchant and lived for many years ilding in the pine barrens near Augusta, Georgia. Here on a writing desk made out of a carpenter's work-bench he wrote poems for the remainder of his life. To Mrs. Preston he wrote: No, no! By my brain—my literary craft—I will win my bread and water; by my poems I will live or I will starve. In 1872 he brought out a volume of L

Review. Betchenbrook.A Rhyme of the War. By Mrs. Margaret J. Preston. Richmond. J. W. Randolph. 12 mo.pp 64. There has been so little even decent poetry produced by the war that it is refreshing to come across something that has as much of the ring of true inspiration as this little volume. Mrs. Preston is well known to the literary public of Virginia (especially by her maiden name of Miss. Junkin) as the author of some of the sweetest productions that have adorned our public printMrs. Preston is well known to the literary public of Virginia (especially by her maiden name of Miss. Junkin) as the author of some of the sweetest productions that have adorned our public prints. But none of them have risen to the height of this effort, which, if it takes the place it deserves, will pass into the standard poetical works of the age, and be read year hence as a valuable contribution to the history of this struggle. Its beauty and power consist in the fact that it is a simple tale of this terrible war, told with so much truthfulness and pathos that few readers will be able to refrain from tears. It consists of ten short cantos, each presenting a separate picture, incr
