At the time of the charge made by the cavalry, one of our men was wounded, when the rebels immediately drew their sabres and literally cut him to pieces. They also rifled his pockets, and even severed his finger for the purpose of getting off a ring. The rebel loss during the engagement was ten killed, fourteen wounded, and two taken prisoners.

mand of the troops. The rebel cavalry was advancing toward our force, when our cavalry formed in line and waited the approach of the enemy. When he had arrived sufficiently near, our troops made a dash upon him, cutting their way through the line and causing the utmost confusion to prevail, after which they returned to quarters by a road leading through the woods on the right of the enemy. An incident which shows the barbarity of the rebels occurred on the field of action.

ven days, there came a sterner presence moved by a mightier power. Pemberton had no cause to complain of his little army, with which were seven regiments of Louisiana troops and several artillery organizations. Below is a roll of death, which Louisiana, deprived of brave sons by wounds received during the siege, signed in tears with her blood on July 4, 1863. Officers reported killed: Third Louisiana, Capt.

Peyton, former members of General Lee's staff; Colonel William Allan of St it. After the cheers which greeted the conclusion of Major Daniel's oration had subsided, General Early called out Father Ryan, the Poet-Priest of the South, who was received with enthusiastic applause, and recited in admirable style his famous poem on The Sword of Lee. In a letter to the N. O. Times-Democrat, Father Ryan has thus described the scene: At noon, or a little after, General Early, who presided in the absence of General Joseph E. Johnston, called the assemblage to order,nd Lexington will never see such a day again, because the world will never know another Robert Lee. At the close of Father Ryan's recitation, a procession was formed on the platform, which was headed by General Early and Major Daniel, Judge McLau

The sword of Lee. By Father A. J. Ryan. Forth from its scabbard, pure and bright, Flashed the sword of Lee! Far in the front of the deadly fight, High o'er the brave, in the cause of right, Its stainless sheen, like a beacon-light, Led us to victory. Out of its scabbard, where full long, It slumbered peacefully— Roused from its rest by the battle-song, Shielding the feeble, smiting the strong, Guarding the right, and avenging the wrong— Gleaned the sword of Lee! Forth from its scabbard, high in air, Beneath Virginia's sky— And they who saw it gleaming there, And knew who bore it, knelt to swear That where that sword led they would dare To follow and to die. Out of its scabbard! Never hand Waved sword from stain as free, Nor purer sword led braver band, Nor braver bled for a brighter land, Nor brighter land had a cause as grand, Nor cause, a chief like Lee! Forth from it scabbard! how we prayed That sword might victor be! And when our triumph was delayed, And many a heart gre<

Robert E. Lee. By Father Ryan. Go, glory! and forever guard Our chieftain's hallowed dust; And honor! keep eternal ward; And fame! be this thy trust. Go! with your bright, emblazoned scroll, And tell the years to be, The first of names that flash your roll Is ours—great Robert Lee. Lee wore the gray! Since then 'Tis right's and honor's hue; He honored it—that man of men— And wrapped it round the true. Dead! but his spirit breathes; Dead! but his heart is ours; Dead! but his sunny, sad land wreathes His crown with tears for flowers. A statue for his tomb! Mould it of marble white— For wrong, a sceptre of death and doom— An angel of hope and right. But Lee has a thousand graves In a thousand hearts, I ween, And tear-drops fall from our eyes in waves That will keep his memory green. Ah! Muse, you dare not claim A nobler man than he; Nor nobler man hath less of blame, Nor blameless man hath purer name, Nor purer name hath grander fame, Nor fame—

splendid number, and will be in demand all over the world in military and historical circles. It is worthy, as far as any publication can be, of the event it commemorates, and we congratulate our friend, the Rev. J. William Jones, on the impression his Magazine has made. It gives, as its name indicates, a graphic account of the unveiling of Valentine's noble work, the recumbent Lee, and this, of course, includes the introductory remarks of that old hero, General Early, the fine poem by Father Ryan, and the majestic oration by Major John W. Daniel, and a paper full of interest by the editor, the Rev. [ex-Confederate chaplain] J. William Jones. Take the publication, all in all, it is one which should be bound in snow-white vellum, with clasps of gold. The Industrial South, of Richmond, Va.

The annual meeting of the Southern Historical Society. There assembled in the State Capitol of Virginia, at Richmond, on the 31st of October, 1883, a fine audience, gathered to hear Father Ryan, who was expected to deliver the address, and to attend the meeting of the Society. General J. A. Early, President, called the meeting to order, and expressed his regret that Father Ryan (for reasons unknown to the committee) had failed to come, and that the audience would be denied the pleasure Father Ryan (for reasons unknown to the committee) had failed to come, and that the audience would be denied the pleasure of hearing him. He made a few remarks on the importance of the work of the Society, and the obligations of our people to sustain it. Colonel R. L.

Our dead We care not whence they came, Dear in their lifeless clay; Whether unknown or known to fame, Their cause and country still the same- They died-and wore the gray. Father Ryan. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Army of Northern Virginia,—Having been no soldier, I feel always, on these festive occasions, as if I were an interloper — a sharer in pleasures I have not helped to win—a spectator tolerated of your good courtesy. But to-night, when you assign to me the duty of responding to this sentiment, I meet you on common ground; for on the roll of the Confederate dead there are not wanting the names of those who were bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh, bloo<
