material, also forcing the evacuation of the posts west of the Rio Grande. Yours respectfully, G. A. Haywood, Secretary Safe Deposit Company. Thus it is in proof that General Armistead was in California when his State seceded, and the war broke out — that as soon as he heard of it he resigned — that he was with General A. S. Johnston in his famous journey across the plains, and that he arrived at Mesilla a week after the first battle of Manassas (or Bull Run), was fought on the 21st of July, 1861, and that it was, therefore, as much a physical impossibility that Armistead could have been present at the battle, as it was a moral impossibility that he could, with his convictions, have drawn his sword against his native State, his kindred, his own people. General Doubleday's repetition of this rumor is as unworthy of the candor of a brave soldier, as it is incompatible with the pains-taking of the accurate historian. 2.

s, and then to seize the place and plunder it. But for the General's coolness on that occasion, we would in all like-lihood have left Fort Yuma behind as a heap of smoking ruins. Colonel Wm. Preston Johnston in his Life of General Albert Sidney Johnston (from which the above extracts are taken), goes on to narrate other interesting details of this journey, and (on page 291) gives an Intinerary which shows every stage of the route from June 16th, 1861, when the party left Los Angels, to July 28th when they arrived at Mesilla. If further confirmation were needed we might give other proofs, but will only submit the following letter: Safe Deposit Co., of St. Louis, 513 Locust street, St. Louis, July 20th, 1882. Rev. J. Wm. Jones, Secretary of S. H. Society: Dear Sir,--In your issue of July, I find this in your Notes and Queries: Did General Armistead fight on the Federal side at First Manassas? General A. Sidney Johnston, Captain (or Major) Armistead with other officers o

tter, we wrote Colonel Cutts on the subject, and submit his conclusive reply in which he shows that his own command at Sharpsburg consisted of twenty-four guns, and that, while before and after the battle other guns were temporarily under his command, these were all he had during the battle. General Hill no doubt meant to say that he had sixteen (instead of sixty) pieces of Cutts's Artillery engaged at Sharpsburg; but the letter of the gallant Georgian explains itself. Americus, Ga., August 24th, 1882. Dr. J. Wm. Jones, Secretary Southern Historical Society. Sir,--All my headquarter papers were captured just before the surrender, still I can give you number of guns in my command at Sharpsburg. At this time my own battalion consisted of four companies with six guns each, twenty-four guns. In addition I had attached to my command a four-gun battery known as Captain Bondurant's Battery, and a four-gun battery from North Carolina, name not known to me. Still, after my arrival at Sh

the Sixth Infantry, and at the breaking out of the war he had been made Major and was serving on the Pacific coast. When Albert Sidney Johnston resigned his commission in the United States army, and, after being relieved by General Sumner, begun his weary and perilous journey across the plains, Major Armistead accompanied him. General Johston wrote as follows to his wife from Vallecito: Vallecito, 130 miles to Yuma, Sunday, June 30, 1861. . . . . . . I received your letter of June 25th, by Major Armistead who arrived here this morning. Our party is now as large as need be desired for safety or convenience in travelling. They are good men and well armed. Late of the army we have Major Armistead, Lieutenants Hardcastle, Brewer, Riley, Shaaf, Mallory, and Wickliffe. . . . . In a description of the journey Captain Gift, who was of the party, says: . . .We had now crossed one hundred miles of desert and near the Colorado and Fort Yuma. It Was necessary to approach

C., July 19th, 1882. My Dear General: Your favor of July 14th, covering enclosures from Southern Historical Society, duly received and contents noted. Of course, I cannot now recall all the details in the matter of General Armistead's condition and words at the time of his capture, July 3, 1863; but my report, made to you immediately following the battle, is correct in every particular. Armistead, after I informed him that I was an officer upon your staff, and would deliver any personal effects that he might desire forwarded to his family, made use of the words, as I now recall them, Say to General Hancock for me, that I have done him, and you all, a grievous (or serious) injury, which I shall always regret. His condition at the time, was that of a man seriously wounded, com

2. Rev. J. Wm. Jones, No. 7, Library Floor State Capitol, Richmond, Virginia: Dear Sir,--Your favor of the 10th instant was duly received. I have enclosed your letter referring to General Armistead on the field of Gettysburg, to General H. H. Bingham, M. C., from Philadelphia. He was the officer to whom the message was delivered, and is the best witness in the case. I have no doubt that he will answer your inquiry fully. I am, Yours very truly, Wingfield S. Hancock.
