culminating in the tragic death of General Garnett, and the loss of West Virginia to the State and the Confederacy. No campaign has been more misunderstood, nor more misrepresented, both North and South than this. On the evening of the 10th of July, 1861, the Forty-fourth Virginia Volunteers, commanded by Colonel William C. Scott, of Powhatan co., Va., reached Beverley, Randolph county, and encamped at the base of Rich mountain, just beyond, in the road crossing that mountain, on which, si Mo., November 25, 1899. To the Editor of the Dispatch: In your weekly issue of November 21st I have read with pleasing interest an article by Dr. Henry M. Price, late of the 44th Virginia Volunteers, touching the incidents and occurrences of July 10, 11, and 12, 1861, at and about Rich mountain, the scene of the second battle of the late war—the first being the battle of Big Bethel, on June 10th. I remember with remarkable distinctness many occurrences of that time, and I recall this day

American subjects. Longfellow was himself descended, it will be remembered, from the very marriage he described, thus guaranteeing a sympathetic treatment, while the measure is a shade crisper and more elastic than that of Evangeline, owing largely to the greater use of trochees. It is almost needless to say that no such effort can ever be held strictly to the classic rules, owing to the difference in the character of the language. With German hexameters the analogy is closer. On July 10, 1861, Mrs. Longfellow died the tragic death which has been so often described, from injuries received by fire the day before. Never was there a greater tragedy within a household; never one more simply and nobly borne. It was true to Lowell's temperament to write frankly his sorrow in exquisite verse; but it became Longfellow's habit, more and more, to withhold his profoundest feelings from spoken or written utterance; and it was only after his death that his portfolio, being opened, reveal

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.more Outraces by Yankee scoundrels. Cavalry Camp, Ashland, Va., July 10, 1861. I have just received a letter written by a Virginia lady now in the North, to a friend in Alexandria. The writer is a near relation of mine, and I will vouch for the entire reliability of what is here stated. I suppress all names. It is sufficient to say that the ladies referred to are the fairest of the fair daughters of the South, for which Baltimore is so celebrated, and descendants of our revolutionary sires. I copy verbatim an extract from the letter: "I remained in Washington till Monday evening, and then went to Baltimore, where I was most cordially welcomed. Oh.--,these are the sufferers, more than we; these have more to bear of insult and tyranny than we Miss — told me that — had one of these soldiers' hands put in her bosom, under pretence of looking for concealed arms; and — had her arms pinioned behind her by one of Gen.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the twenty Fourth Virginia Regiment. Camp Pryor, Prince William Co., July 10th, 1861. The situation of the 24th is quite pleasant, and we have enough excitement to make it interesting. We soldiers think ourselves peculiarly blessed in having such comfortable quarters and such good fare, and although we are, and have been, on an outpost station and necessarily exposed to danger, yet none of us object to it on that account. Furthermore, we have reason to thank our stars for having such a set of officers. They are, with very few exceptions, a set of high-toned, honorable gentlemen, from Corporals to Colonel I am free to admit that I came into the regiment with a prejudices against Col. Early, owing to his Pentium nations while in the Convention, yet I am happy to say that all this prejudices has been dissipated, and I believe he is one among the best officers of the Southern army, and that he possesses in an eminent degree that coolness
