to him of the attention his gallantry had excited. Three weeks of rest, and his battery, newly equipped and recruited, was on the march to Cedar Mountain with Jackson's flying column. Here again his guns, pushed up to within eighty yards of the enemy, were served with such rapidity and precision as won a nod of approval from tave of absence, and within a fortnight was on duty with his battery. After Sharpsburg came a period of rest, grateful beyond expression to the worn veterans of Jackson's corps. Recrossing the Potomac, they went into camp, after the brilliant combat at Shepherdstown, along the Opequan in the lovely valley of the Shenandoah. T enemy broke and fled. Again the Grand Divisions (as they were then called) of Hooker and Franklin came surging up, and pierced the gap between Lane and Archer. Jackson's second line was now advanced, and the enemy speedily driven back. In both attacks the picked guns performed superb service, but their loss was severe. Not onl

th five divisions to sweep this obstacle from the path, and then by rapid marching to rejoin him in time to join battle with the army of McClellan. Lee retained, in the meanwhile, only three divisions to confront that vast force, trusting that Jackson's task would be accomplished before McClellan should discover the weakness of the force left to oppose him. There is no reason to doubt that the plan would have succeeded, but for one of those accidents which turn awry the best laid schemes. On a drawn battle, both sides resting on their arms the following day, on the night of which Lee, quietly and without molestation, retired his army across the Potomac. But for the lost order, nothing indicates a doubt that, after the success of Jackson's movement, Lee would have effected an unopposed and leisurely concentration of his forces in a position chosen by himself where, with at least fifty thousand men, fresh and elated with victory, he would have met the onslaught of McClellan.

nto Maryland at all by reminding him of his (Longstreet's) experiences in Mexico, where, on several occasions, we had to live two or three days on green corn. As Jackson's corps certainly, and Longstreet's probably, had to live on green corn for some days before the second battle of Manassas, it was hardly necessary in General Lonon against the Federal garrison. In the description of the battle of Sharpsburg but a very meagre allusion is made to the tremendous struggle which took place on Jackson's line, and which was the heaviest attack made by McClellan during the day; and only the obscurest mention is made of the magnificent blow struck by A. P. Hill inasant Valley side and General McLaws had to haul them up by hand, and it was 2 o'clock P. M. Sunday, 14th, before McLaws's guns were in position to cooperate with Jackson's in the reduction of Harper's Ferry. Thus the capture of Maryland Heights was accomplished, not on Friday morning, but some thirty hours later, on Saturday even

who fell on that field, was to order back this train to prevent the danger of its capture. So excellent was our cavalry service, that rare indeed was the capture of any of our ordnance by the enemy. We believe no considerable loss of this sort occurred until near the close of the war. Sometimes, however, the enemy's cavalry caused ordnance trains to travel at more than regulation speed. Such was the case one morning at the second battle of Manassas, when Pope dropped some shells among Jackson's train and caused it to change its base with masterly celerity. On our return from the Bristoe campign in the fall of 1863, the ordnance train of the Second corps found themselves in the fork of the Rappahannock and Hazel rivers. The latter stream was past fording and there was no bridge or ferry. Behind us only a small body of scouting cavalry intervened between us and the Federal cavalry, which was supposed to be advancing from Warrenton. The proper thing to do was evidently to cros

Death of Stonewall Jackson. by Dr. Hunter McGuire, medical director of Jackson's corps. Supported upon either side by his aids—Captain James P. Smith and Joseph Morrison—the General moved slowly and painfully towards the rear. Occasionally resting for a moment to shake off the exhaustion which pain and the loss of blood produced, he at last reached the line of battle, where most of the men were lying down to escape the shell and canister with which the Federals raked the road. General Pe aside the men who supported him, he stretched himself to his full height and answered feebly, but distinctly enough to be heard above the din of the battle: General Pender, you must hold on to the field; you must hold out to the last. It was Jackson's last order upon the field of battle. Still more exhausted by this effort, he asked to be permitted to lie down for a few moments, but the danger from the fire, and capture by the Federal advance, was too imminent, and his aids hurried him on.

nd, A. P. Hill's Light Division—becoming the Second corps, Jackson's. After General Jackson's death the two corps were reof troops. Notwithstanding the want of shoes and clothing, Jackson's corps had marched from Winchester to Fredericksburg, in t obedience to orders, there was no lack, and certainly in Jackson's corps at least obedience was enforced. I can relate twoe which will illustrate this. The afternoon the head of Jackson's corps reached the Rappahannock on the Manassas campaign,count up with him the number of officers who had fallen in Jackson's corps, and especially in the Light Division since he hadacter of Lee and Jackson are well known. The incidents of Jackson, as an elder in the Presbyterian church, himself administet either of them. How promptly Lee wrote when he heard of Jackson's wound in the hour of his victory: I cannot express my reis-statements of Badeau; nor need we fear on our side that Jackson's reputation will suffer from the criticisms of Longstreet

On the right flank of this little force lay Jackson's corps of over 20,000 men, whose wide wings,ee like an egg shell, and then have turned on Jackson.

An address of the chaplains of the Second corps (Stonewall Jackson's), Army of Northern Virginia, to the churches of the Confederate States. [The following paper, from the pen of Rev. B. T. Lacy, was adopted by the Chaplains' Association of Jackson's corps, and is worthy of a place in our records.] Dear brethren: The relations which we sustain to the various branches of the church of Christ in our country, and the position which we hold in the army of the Confederate States, induces us Jackson's corps, and is worthy of a place in our records.] Dear brethren: The relations which we sustain to the various branches of the church of Christ in our country, and the position which we hold in the army of the Confederate States, induces us to address you upon the important subject of the religious instruction of the soldiers engaged in the sacred cause of defending our rights, our liberties and our homes. The one universal subject of thought and of feeling is the war. The hearts of the people, with singular unanimity, are enlisted in the common cause. The object of special interest to all is the army. The political and social interests involved excite the patriotism and move the affection of all. There is little necessity for

to retire behind the breastworks. The regiments to my left, following my movement, also fell back. To show the terrific fire to which we were exposed, I will state that I went into that fight with three hundred and fifty muskets, and in less than ten minutes I had one hundred and sixty men killed and wounded. We had remained behind the breastworks some time, when General J. E. B. Stuart, who, upon the fall of Jackson and the wounding of A. P. Hill, had been called to the command of Jackson's corps, rode in front of the line where the Stonewall Brigade was, and called for it. They responded, they were there—Stuart ordered an advance. The order was given, and I state positively, after recent conversations with men and officers of the Fourth Virginia infantry, that notwithstanding the terrible ordeal through which they had only a short time before that passed, every man, not wounded, sprang to his place in ranks. There being now a continuous line of battle and properly support

Letter from President Davis on States' rights. The Jackson (Miss.) Clarion prints the following letter: Beauvoir, Mississippi, June 20, 1885. Colonel J. L. Power, Clarian Office. Dear Sir,—Among the less-informed persons at the North there exists an opinion that the negro slave at the South was a mere chattel, having neither rights nor immunities protected by law or public opinion. Southern men knew such was not the case, and others desiring to know could readily learn the fact. On that error the lauded story of Uncle Tom's Cabin was founded, but it is strange that a utilitarian and shrewd people did not ask why a slave, especially valuable, was the object of privation and abuse? Had it been a horse they would have been better able to judge, and would most probably have rejected the story for its improbability. Many attempts have been made to evade and misrepresent the exhaustive opinion of Chief-Justice Taney in the Dred Scott case, but it remains unanswered. Fro
