sses the 93d regiment's famous stand on the morning of Balaklava.—How General Robert D. Johnston repelled repeated charges of Yankee cavalry far outnumbering his attee Valley 'pike to the Berryville 'pike, running east from Winchester, General Robert D. Johnston, of North Carolina, had a brigade of 800 to 1,000 muskets on the Berrounties, Va. Now, every morning the Yankee cavalry would rush my pickets in on Johnston's posts. He would stop them until I got up, and then I'd drive the Yankees bapublished in the Baltimore News, some five or six years ago. Brigadier-General Robert D.

ulty under fire distinguished Colonel Blacknall, even among Confederate officers, where the standard of manhood was as high as the world has seen. It is to be doubted if any officer of like rank in Lee's army had in greater measure the love and confidence of the private soldier. Handsome, eloquent, intellectual, gifted with singular charm of manner, and beloved by all men because his heart was as big as humanity, he has been termed by a comrade who knew him well in all the trying vicissitudes of a soldier's life, as the ideal Confederate officer, and by another, as one of the most chivalrous men he ever knew. And to this we may add, in the words of the great English poet: His life was gentle; and the elements so mix'd in him that Nature might stand up and say to all the world, This was a man. The story of the Tarheels' thin gray line should be published in pamphlet form and placed in the hands of each and every North Carolina schoolboy. R. D. Stewart. November 300th.

s brigade of wild southwestern Virginia horsemen consisted of the 8th, 21st and 22d regiments, and the 34th and 36th battalions of Virginia cavalry. Johnson's brigade, with the brigades of Imboden McCausland and H. B. Davidson, formed Lomax's cavalry division—all Virginians, except the 1st Maryland cavalry, of Davidson's brigade. During the Appomattox campaign General Johnson commanded a division of Anderson's corps. He is now a resident of the State for which he fought in the dark days of 1861-‘65. Another North Carolinian who fought and fell in the Tarheels' thin gray line deserves special mention. The 23d North Carolina (General Robert Johnston's old regiment) was commanded by Colonel Charles Christopher Blacknall, of Granville county, N. C., a descendant of the Blacknalls of Wing, Buckinghamshire, who intermarried with the noble and exclusive Norman family of Harcourt. At the outbreak of the war, Colonel Blacknall organized the Granville Riflemen (Company G), 23d North Car

spatch: Some time ago there was published in the Winston-Salem Sentinel, and copied in the Dispatch, a very interesting article called The Tarheels' Thin Gray Line, by General Bradley T. Johnson, describing an incident of the Valley campaign of 1864. The article, as published in the Sentinel and Dispatch, contained a serious typographical error. The sentence, There were 45,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry and 3,000 mounted gunmen, should read, There were 45,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry inorge H.

I am sure Bob Johnston did not, for he was as modest as he was handsome and brave. In September, 1864, Early's army was lying about Winchester. We had been through Maryland, and terrified Washington into fits, and had gotten safely back into Virginia, with thousands of horses, cattle, medical stores, and hundreds of wagon-loads of eatables of every kind. I had a cavalry brigade of wild southwestern Virginia horsemen, as brave and as undisciplined as the Virginia Rangers Colonel Washington surrendered at Fort Necessity, or Andrew Lewis fought Cornstalk with at Point Pleasant.
