per-like had fired on the flag which protected us, he said in a public speech at Lexington, Massachusetts, on the 19th of April, 1875: . . . As an American, I am as proud of the men who charged so bravely with Pickett's division on our lines at Gettysburg, as I am of the men who so bravely met and repulsed them there. Men cannot always choose the right cause; but when, having chosen that which conscience dictates, they are ready to die for it, if they justify not their cause, they at least ennoble themselves. And the men who, for conscience' sake, fought against their government at Gettysburg, ought easily to be forgiven by the sons of men who, for conscience' sake, fought against their government at Lexington and Bunker Hill.

outhern Historical Society Papers for the present year is General Longstreet's second paper on Gettysburg, and an extract of his official report of the second battle of Manassas. It is the first timeof a gallant and efficient artillery command that I notice them. General Longstreet, in his Gettysburg article, in endeavoring to explain his official relations with General R. E. Lee, brings up ths batteries must have been, to say the least, over twenty-five hundred yards. The claim in his Gettysburg article of a heavy enfilading fire being poured unexpectedly into their charging column can't re ordered for this purpose, and one placed in position immediately and opened, --while in his Gettysburg article he says: In an exceedingly short time Captain Wiley's six-gun battery came dashing up owing claims — that Longstreet would bring to light after his death, and the appearance of his Gettysburg articles, when the two batteries mentioned in his official report would grow to several, &c.;

Gettysburg — the battle on the right. By Colonel Wm. C. Oates, of Alabama. [If any of our readers are weary of our Gettysburg series, we will say for their comGettysburg series, we will say for their comfort that we have probably nearly reached the end. But we have, from all parts of this country and from Europe, the warmest expressions of interest in these papers anacy. I am not a fatalist, nor a believer in destiny, and hence cannot say of Gettysburg, as Victor Hugo did of Waterloo, that God passed over the battle field. I beer Lee was. never much stronger numerically, nor its condition better than at Gettysburg. The rank and file were never more confident of success. I therefore conclu and Hill's corps and the Federals under Reynolds, Howard and Doubleday, near Gettysburg, was distinctly heard by us. About dark we received an order to be ready to mnd after a rapid and fatiguing march, it arrived on the field within sight of Gettysburg at about 2 o'clock P.

ry at Second Manassas-General Longstreet's reply to General S. D. Lee. Gainesville, Georgia, September 6th, 1878. Southern Historical Society, Richmond, Virginia: In your issue of last month a paper appears from the pen of General S. D. Lee, claimed to be a reply to a part of my official report of the second battle of Manassas as published in an article on the Gettysburg campaign by myself. No part of my official report of second Manassas was published in any of my writings upon Gettysburg. In my last I gave an account of the leading features of second Manassas, as connected with my command and myself, but distinctly announced in that paper that my sole purpose was to illustrate, as well as might be, the official as well as personal relations between General R. E. Lee and myself. General S. D. Lee seems to have started from erroneous premises, therefore, and may mislead some of your readers. The inclosed account of the artillery combat of second Manassas from Colonel

In my last I gave an account of the leading features of second Manassas, as connected with my command and myself, but careful perusal will show him. I state that in the June number of the Historical Papers, for the first time, I saw his Gettysburg article, and also an extract from his official report. The article itself treats only of his allusions to second Manast of the victory at second Manassas, to the detriment of General R. E. Lee, Jackson or any command on the field. The Gettysburg article and his official report are not the only two instances on record where he makes the claim of routing the Federanfantry only been included, the above is substantially correct, except as to the five minutes, which conflicts with his Gettysburg article and his official report also.
