a month was he in the field before he gave up his life in the bloody battle of Shiloh. We were all young in years then, said Mr. Allston, and the changes that have come in thirty-seven years have made me reflect much. When that sister asked me for one who had known her brother when he fell-one who still survived — I looked over the commissioned officers of Crescent Company E, from Captain Tarleton down, and they had all passed away. Of the non-commissioned officers, Nelson, now living in Atlanta, and myself remain. We are only two, and among the privates 1 counted three—one Mauberret, one Lathrop, and one Perkins—and then I stopped. They are all gone, and it made me think that in a few years we will all be gone. Mr. Allston here read a letter from Mrs. Kate Sherry Chase, the devoted sister of Henry Sherry, in which she said that the uncertainty of life prompted her to place in the care of the Ladies' Confederate Memorial Association the sword and picture of her brother.

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

a loss of more than fifty thousand upon the enemy in the campaign, resulting in Grant's change of base. But with inadequate supplies of food and clothing, it was then suffering all the discomforts and hardships of winter in the trenches around Petersburg and Richmond. Sheridan in the Valley of Virginia with a powerful and well-equipped army, had driven back Early with his little band of Confederates, and had completely devasted that beautiful and fertile region. Sherman, after destroying Atlanta and laying waste the surrounding country, was at Savannah with an army of sixty-five thousand men, prepared to march through the Carolinas and form a junction with Grant in Virginia. Such was the military situation when in the early part of January, 1865, Mr. Francis P. Blair, Sr., a gentleman of great ability and acknowledged influence with the Administration at Washington, made his appearance at Richmond. He brought with him no credentials, but exhibited to Mr. Davis the following card:

G. O. Weymouth, of the Seventeenth Massachusetts, was commandant of Point Lookout. I had a pleasant chat with him yesterday in Boston. He was kind and considerate, and allowed the Masons to make an appeal to the Baltimore fraternity for clothing. We had I,200 negro guards at Point Lookout, but white troops at Elmira. I desire to express my thanks to the members of Baldwin Post for their attention to our graves, and the honors they showed our dead Decoration-Day. Also for the pleasant call from Post-Commander M. M. Conklin, Van Wagoner, and Brother Winfield S. Moody. I wish to say in conclusion, that while we ex-Confederates repudiated the suggestion as to pensions from the National Government, yet we applauded President McKinley's utterance at Atlanta in reference to the Confederate graves. We feel that when the time comes Baldwin Post, Elmira, N. Y., will do all in their power to help mark in marble the names of our beloved dead. Marcus B. Toney. New York, August 14, 1901

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
