Charles, I know nothing of defensive warfare; I only know how to attack. The Washington Artillery could not say they knew nothing of defensive warfare, but certainly it was always more to their inclination to take the aggressive, and at Drewry's Bluff Suwarrow's tactics of Stupay, Ibey (advance and strike), was the order of the day, and with his army badly beaten, old Ben Butler was bottled. In the west the guns of the Fifth Company were engaged at Cassville, Dallas, New Hope Church, Pine Mountain aad Kennesaw mountain. At the latter place fell Louisiana's lamented Bishop, General Leonidas Polk. And then in the east began the siege of Petersburg With scream of shot and burst of shell And bellowing of the mortars. In the west battles followed in quick succession.

The second company, under Rosser and Slocomb, had also won their spurs at Munson's Hill and Lewinsville, under the dashing J. E. B. Stuart; and then came the long winter in huts on the banks of Bull Run. Meanwhile the fifth company had sprung into existence in New Orleans, and at Shiloh the praise and admiration of the whole South was theirs for gallant fighting. Their guns were heard, too, at Monterey, Yorktown, Farmington and Corinth. And our batteries in Virginia were not idle, as Mechanicsville, Seven Pines, Gaines's Mill, Savage Station, Frazier's Farm, and Malvern Hill, will attest. Leaving McClellan upon the James, after his famous change of base, the battalion marched with General Lee's army, and at Rappahannock Station engaged the batteries of General Pope, and then moved forward through Thoroughfare Gap.

wo signal guns that opened the great battle of July 3. In the West came Jackson, Miss., Chickamauga, and Missionary Ridge. In Virginia the battalion was doing brave work. The Russian Field Marshal Suwarrow once sent word to the Austrian Archduke Charles, I know nothing of defensive warfare; I only know how to attack. The Washington Artillery could not say they knew nothing of defensive warfare, but certainly it was always more to their inclination to take the aggressive, and at Drewry's Bluff Suwarrow's tactics of Stupay, Ibey (advance and strike), was the order of the day, and with his army badly beaten, old Ben Butler was bottled.

day. Now we are a very different body of men than we were twenty-one years ago. We are different—oh, how different—numerically! How memory rushes back to the brave fellows left in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Georgia! But we must draw a curtain over all that. After the war was over, the greater part of those who survived drifted back to New Orleans. It was not long before we found that many of our poor fellows, either for themselves or for their familto them sacred, their guidons were carried from the Susquehanna to the Gulf of Mexico. The guns reverberating over and beyond the hills and valleys of the Blue Ridge, were reechoed by those of gallant Slocomb and Chalaron, in the mountains of Georgia and Tennessee. Scarcely had the smoke of battle curled in wreaths above the pines of Virginia, than our brothers in the West took up and prolonged the dreadful note. Then our guns were never quiet; now their roar is heard only resounding d

Then our guns were never quiet; now their roar is heard only resounding down the corridors of time. And with the talented Zariffa we say— From the war-graves of Manassas, Fredericksburg and Malvern Hill, Carrick's Ford and Massanutton, Fast the Shadowy Legions fill. From the far off Rappahannock, From the red fields of Cross Keys, Gettysburg—the Wildernesses— From defeat and victories. Tired trooper—weary marcher— Grim and sturdy cannoneer— Veteran gray, and slender stripling, All shall ever be unforgotten by us. The names and gallant deeds of our fallen comrades shall live forever in our memories and upon the records of the battalion. And now a few words to the present organization of the Washington Artillery. You see around you men who have been in the fore-front of battle; you see the father of the co
