Chancellorsville.
[from the Atlanta, Ga., Journal, November, 1901.]
The fight well described by a Georgia Colonel.
Fighting Joe Hooker boasted.
He was confident and restless, but ultimately Learnt his Lesson— how Jackson lost his Life—Some brilliant strategic Movements—Old Salem Church—Parts played by Lee and Gordon.
General Hooker, commanding the Federal army in 1863, occupied the hills north of the Rappahannock river in rear of Fredericksburg, Va., with a force of about 125,000 thoroughly equipped and well seasoned troops.
It was by far the best furnished body of soldiery at that time in the field on either side.
It was commanded by Fighting Joe Hooker, who had boasted that while in command of the army of the west he had only been able to see the backs of the Confederate soldiers.
He had been transferred to the army of the Potomac for the express purpose of taking Richmond.
So sanguine was he of accomplishing this feat that he dated his general orders Headquar

Their last battle.
[from the Atlanta, Ga., Journal, July, 1901.]
Fight at Bentonville, N. C., between Sherman and Johnston.
Some personal observations.
The soldiers among the pine trees and how they reserved their fire until the Federals were within easy Range— desperate struggle.
I am gratified to see so many articles on the Close Call order since my first appeared.
It may have inspired many old vets to relate their experiences, more or less thrilling in their nature, and some of which are truly historic and very entertaining.
General C. A. Evans, in commending me for starting the ball in motion, and speaking of these articles as the rising cream of Confederate history, pleased me very much.
We all must know that now is the time—a few years more it will be too late—to prepare and furnish such history, and the encouragement your most popular paper has given to the matter has been noticed all over the country.
I learn with much pleasure that many are preservi<

With Archer's brigade.
[from the Atlanta, Ga., Journal, November, 1901.]
Battle of Gaines's Mill and Mechanicsville well described.
I was a private of Company C, Fifth Alabama battalion, General Archer's brigade.
On the evening of June 25, 1862, near sunset, our brigade received orders to cook rations and be ready to march at a moment's warning.
On that order we boys began to hustle, for we believed that a big battle was upon us. We could see it in the air. Before we had time to start fires even, we received orders to fall in!
fall in!
You could hear the order in every direction.
We were directed, also, to relieve ourselves of all baggage.
Well did we know that this order meant a battle.
Our knapsacks, blankets, etc., were all soon tumbled into baggage wagons, and we were quickly in line with our guns glittering in the light of the setting sun, ready to march, or do anything else.
Starting on the march, our battalion was ordered to front face!
and the various co
