ful homage which is his due? And we cannot indeed wonder when we consider the cause for which Mr. Davis is so much to his people. Let Mr. Davis himself state it, for no one else can do it so well. In his recent address at the laying of the corner-stone of the Confederate monument at Montgomery, he said: I have come to join you in the performance of a sacred task, to lay the foundation of a monument at the cradle of the Confederate Government which shall commemorate the gallant sons of Alabama who died for their country, who gave their lives a freewill offering in defence of the rights of their sires, won in the war of the Revolution, the State sovereignty, freedom and independence, which were left to us as an inheritance to their posterity forever. These masterful words, the rights of their sires, won in the war of the Revolution, the State sovereignty, freedom and independence, which were left to us as an inheritance to their posterity forever, are the whole case, and they are

n. Two years later, his colleague, Mr. Preston, had moved in the Senate, and Mr. Thompson, of South Carolina, had also moved in the House of Representatives, to declare annexation expedient. Several State Legislatures, as those of Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee, had agitated the question with hot zeal, unreservedly avowing that they did so upon grounds somewhat local in their complexion, but of an import infinitely grave and interesting to the people who inhabit the southern portion of that Dr. von Holst, who has undertaken to write a constitutional history of the United States, does not know the difference between the United States, on the one hand, and Calhoun, Preston, Thompson, Tyler, Upshur, the Legislatures of Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee, and the whole South on the other?

le, of Georgia, and Major J. C. Carrington, of Pittsylvania, left Camp Lee at Richmond, Virginia, July 6th, 1861, for Winchester, Virginia. On its arrival there, placed in the brigade of General E. K. Smith. On the 18th July, ordered and proceeded to march to Manassas. On account of an accident on the railroad the regiment was delayed, and did not reach the battlefield until the 22d, too late to participate in the action. General Smith having been wounded on the 21st, Colonel Forney, of Alabama, was placed in command of the brigade; but he was relieved in a few days by Brigadier-General C. M. Wilcox, and assigned to the division of General G. W. Smith. It acted on picket duty, &c.; and when the army retired from Centreville it formed a part of the rear guard, leaving Manassas on the 10th of March, 1862. While on the march, it was assigned to the brigade of General R. Toombs, of Georgia, whose command it joined near Orange Courthouse, March 30th, 1862. On the 11th of April recei

ke such part as that filled by Sherman and his indorsers on this occasion, the described inequality must ever remain. Another Senator (Ingalls) evinced very great indignation because the Democratic party had in debate in the Senate taken sides with Jefferson Davis, and that they had always indorsed him, always approved his course, and had declared that there was nothing wrong in his record that would convince posterity that he was not a man of honor and a patriot, and that the Senator from Alabama (Mr. Morgan) and the Senator from Missouri (Mr. Vest) had taken occasion to inform the Senate that there were millions of people in the United States to day who loved Jefferson Davis, and to whom Jefferson Davis was endeared by the memory of common hardships, common privations and common calamities. It is not surprising that such expressions of confidence and regard should have been drawn out in a debate upon a resolution which had for its purpose the indorsement by the Senate of a mean s

s a member in Mobile. The court held that the war dissolved the partnership. In another case it has decided that a corporation chartered by the Confederate State of Alabama continued to exist after Alabama returned to the Union, and it exists now. Numerous attempts have been made to hold Confederate soldiers civilly liable for Alabama returned to the Union, and it exists now. Numerous attempts have been made to hold Confederate soldiers civilly liable for damages for trespass committed during war, but the Federal courts and the Supreme Court have held that no such liability was incurred. As a matter of historical fact and of legal truth, First Manassas destroyed whatever possibility there ever was of the war being treated as rebellion by the successful side, or of our ever being the rose, and her increase in power, population, and wealth in the future will be simply incredible. The census of 1900 will see Texas outvoting New York, and Alabama passing Pennsylvania in power. When people have lost everything save honor, as we had done in 1865, our first duty became to preserve that untarnished. The Unio

them out to supply the places of our present cruisers should the casualties of the sea reduce their number. There really seems but little for our ships to do now upon the open sea. LieutenantCom-manding Low, of the Tuscaloosa, Prize of the Alabama, commissioned by Captain Semmes. reports that in a cruise of several months, during which he spoke over one hundred vessels, only one proved to be an American, and she being loaded entirely on neutral account, he felt forced to release her after taking a bond. The Alabama also only picks up a vessel at intervals, although she is in the East Indies, heretofore rich in American traffic. Nevertheless, if all our ships should be withdrawn, the United States flag would again make its appearance; and it is therefore essential to provide the necessary relay of vessels. There is, however, no resisting the logic of accomplished facts. I am now convinced that we cannot get ironclads to sea, and unless otherwise instructed, I will make no mo

n North Carolina concerning the most eventful period in our annals of two hundred and ninety years. It may be said that there were only eleven States wholly committed to the late war—Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee. Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri were only partially engaged, the great majority of their people remaining with the Union. Of these eleven, North Carolina occupied the following position aly captured on her twelfth trip, going out, by reason of unfit coal. She usually brought in enough Welsh coal, which being anthracite, made no smoke, to run her out again, but on this occasion she was compelled to give her supply to the cruiser Alabama, which was then in port, and to run out with North Carolina bituminous coal, which choked her flues, diminished her steam, and left a black column of smoke in her wake, by which she was easily followed and finally overtaken.

as the dense thicket would admit. Its progress being unavoidably slow, and the thicket very dense, its losses were comparatively small. The enemy's progress had been stopped, and he had been driven back by the brigades from Texas, Georgia, and Alabama, commanded respectively by Generals Gregg and Benning, and Colonel Perry, but he was not beaten, and for the next three hours a fierce struggle, without any permanent advantage to either side, was maintained at that point—first one side and thenthe army to the North Anna and formed on its south bank, or beyond it a mile. It may be well to state that my division was composed of five brigades, all the balance of the army having but four. They were one South Carolina, two Georgia, one Alabama, and one Texas, commanded respectively by Brigadier-Generals Jenkins, Benning, Anderson, Law, and Gregg. As during the campaign Generals Jenkins and Gregg were killed and Generals Benning and Law wounded, their brigades were commanded respectiv

nt and leaders, and such unmistakable reluctance to print corrections of their slanders. The most notable example of this was their publication of a paper on The Alabama, by one professing to have been on board, grossly .slandering the gallant Semmes and his officers and crew. The fellow was promptly exposed, it was proven that no such man was ever on the Alabama, and that his statements were false; but up to this writing the Century has not given its readers the benefit of this proof. Recently, however, this veracious writer of history has been proven to be a man of many aliases—a forger, a swindler, and fraud generally, and is now on trial for his crimes. Surely the Century will now acknowledge its injustice to Semmes in allowing this fellow to write the story of The Alabama. Confederates who will criticise adversely their leaders and disparage their comrades seem to be prime favorites with the Century. Barnes's brief history of the United States has gotten into unexpected
