rd, and most men think, that Lee's army was left without cavalry. Verily, it will take an hundred years to correct the errors of our history. Do you ask who will be enquiring about it at the end of the 20th century? All students of military tactics, the descendants of these sons of veterans who will be tracing their history back to the men who rode with Stuart and Hampton, and marched under Lee and Jackson. The inexorable law of heredity will quicken this study. Though generations of Virginians have been on the inquiry as to where they came from, giving little attention as to where they may be going. The members of Stuart's cavalry grow weary when you speak of the Gettysburg campaign, during the long days and sleepless nights that attended our long march, in rear of the Federal army, on to Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and back to Gettysburg, where we fought on the 3rd of July. Colonel Munford commanded Fitz Lee's brigade, after Hampton was wounded, and Fitz Lee was given the division

Washington, Ga., the things going along with us. (It seems the middies had playfully dubbed the specie boxes the things.) The coin. On the 27th the midshipmen who desired them were offered furloughs, which were accepted by all but five Virginians—Quaries, Hudson, Slaughter, Carter and Fleming. The things were again put in wagons, and across the country we marched on the 29th of April to Abbeville, S. C., where the things were put on board some cars that stood at the depot. We had no guard duty to do after leaving Washington, Ga. On May the 2d President Davis and Staff and Cabinet reached Abbeville, coming, I imagined, from Charlotte, on horseback. On that day we five Virginians were discharged, as per the following order, probably the last official act of the navy of the Confederate States: Abbeville, S. C., May 2, 1865. Sir,—You are hereby detached from the Naval School, and leave is granted you to visit your home. You will report by letter to the Hon. Secretary of

eached him, seized Traveler by the right cheek of his bit, stopped him, and said to General Lee: You must not expose yourself; your life is too valuable to the army and to the Confederacy for you to risk it so wantonly; we are Georgians, we are Virginians, we need no such encouragement. At this some of our soldiers called out, No, No, Gordon continuing, said: There is not a soldier in the Confederate army that would not glady lay down his life to save you from harm; but the men did not respond the line. At the sight of Lee he reined up his handsome bay so sharply as to throw him on his haunches. It was a picture never to be forgotten. General Lee, this is no place for you. Go back, General; we will drive them back. These men are Virginians and they have never failed me; they will not fail me; will you boys? Then rose the oft-quoted shout: General Lee to the rear! Lee to the rear! Go back, General, we can't charge until you go back. We will drive them back, General. Some one

The ironclad ram Virginia-Confederate States Navy, [from the Richmond, Va., News-leader, April 1, 1904.] And her memorable engagements of March 8 and 9, 1862. Story of her launching and Accomplishments. By Wm. R. Cline, One of Her Crew. Newport News, Va., April 1, 1904. The great celebration which Virginians are arranging for Tuesday next, 5th, the day set for the launching of the magnificent first-class battleship Virginia at the local shipyard, is largely due to the fact that they look upon the new fighter as the namesake of the formidable Confederate ironclad Virginia (Merrimac), which, with Ericsson's Monitor taught the world how warfare on the sea should be carried on. The new Virginia's launching announcement caused the people of this section particularly to remember this week that the first fight between iron-clads took place just forty-two years ago. William R. Cline, an employee of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, was a member of th
