The Confederate dead in Stonewall Cemetery, Winchester, Va. Memorial services, June 6, 1894. Eulogy by Captain Wm. N. McDonald, on Major James W. Thomson, C. S. Artillery Zzzcareer of Chew's Battery. For additional particulars of the career of the famed Chew's Battery, see account of a reunion of its survivors, held in October, 1890, Southern Historical society Papers, Vol. XVIII, pp. 281-286, and Vol. XXI, pp. 365-368. The memorial services on last Wednesday, June 6, 1894, in honor of the Confederate dead who sleep in Stonewall Cemetery were most successfully carried out despite the inclement weather. The usual exercises were conducted in the Courthouse hall, instead of the stand erected within the cemetery for that purpose. Many persons failed to gain admittance to the hall. The Chapel Grove Band rendered some good music at 12 o'clock, as the Confederate Veterans entered the Courthouse. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. T. O. D. Clark. It was a mos

space to mention even the times and places of their numerous actions. Almost from the beginning of the war to its close, it was constantly in the field. No true history of Jackson's Valley Campaign can be written without giving much space to the effective work done by this battery under its boy captain, Roger Preston Chew. It was always at the breach, making the common shot do bloody work upon the foe. The fiery dash of Thomson was tempered by the audacious coolness of Chew. Though Jackson's forward movements were like the rushes of the storm, yet, far in advance, the smoke of Chew's guns told where the heaviest blows would fall. In the retreat, too, though Jackson moved with wonderful speed, yet, Parthian like, he fought as he fled, and though often threatened by overwhelming foes, he felt secure from surprise, for the rattle of Ashby's small arms, the sound of Chew's guns, told him always exactly the whereabouts of the Federal advances.

sh and a loftier patriotism. With a handful of the men of his old battery, he rushed from point to point, appearing always in the forefront of the fight and with voice and action urging his comrades Once more to the breach. In the fight at Jetersville on the day before his death, where a remnant of his old brigade, under the gallant Deering, chased for miles a greatly superior force of the enemy, Major Thomson was wounded. In that charge fell the gallant Captain Hugh McGuire, whose companytch field was near High Bridge, over which a part of Lee's army expected to cross the Appomattox. A picked body of Federal cavalry and infantry under Colonel Washburn and General Reid were sent to destroy it. The morning after the fight at Jetersville Major Thomson fell in with the column of Mahone's Division, to which I was attached. He was pale and feeble and much depressed over the situation of our army. When he was about to leave me to rejoin his command, I said: Remember, if you go i

eating into the woods, they continued to fight, and it was in the midst of one of these squads that Major Thomson was last seen. Wm. Bronaugh, of Manchester, Va., then a private in Chew's Battery, helped to convey his body from the field, and said that his clothes were pierced with bullet holes, and that he was wounded in seven places. Before his death he had often expressed a wish to be buried by the side of Ashby. It was in accordance with this wish that his body was removed from Charlottesville and placed here. And, here I may be pardoned for saying of him what was said of Hotspur, whom he much resembled, That nothing in his life so much became him as his manner of leaving it. Nay, I will say more, that the devotional character of his death, enrolls his name among those who, both in tradition and history, have sown the seeds of national liberty. To die for one's country in the discharge of duty is glorious-and yet it is a distinction shared in by the majority of those who

At Tom's Brook, though two guns were lost, never was witnessed greater valor.
