and an irritating tyrannical government. We in 1861, as Great Britain in 1898, and Charles the Marts to might and revolution the South appealed in 1861; and it was to coercion the government of Union. Lodge conclusively show, the secessionists of 1861 stand in history's court by no means without a was the same with the secessionists. That, in 1861, they could really have had faith in the practie to actualities. The secessionist recourse in 1861 was to the sword, and to the sword it was meant Hercules—the parting of those terrible ways of 1861. Like Scott and Lee, Thomas was a Virginian;e Pocahontas blood. When the war broke out, in 1861, Thomas had been twenty-one years a commissioneUnion without the sympathy and assent of Lee in 1861? The question gave me pause.

r: Few who have looked into the history can doubt that the Union originally was, and was generally taken by the parties to it to be, a compact, dissoluble, perhaps most of them would have said, at pleasure, dissoluble certainly on breach of the articles of the Union. And that liberal and cultured statesman and writer, Mr. Charles Francis Adams, of Boston, in an address delivered by him in June last in Chicago (whilst as we understand him, not conceding the right of secession to exist in 1861), said, quoting from Donn Piet's Life of General George H. Thomas, as follows: To-day no impartial student of our constitutional history can doubt for a moment that each State ratified the form of government submitted in the firm belief that at any time it could withdraw there-from. With our quondam enemies thus telling the world that we had the right to do what we tried to do, and only asked to be let alone, and when we know that when we did go to war, we only went to repel a ruthless

Battle of Cedar Creek, Va., Oct. 19th, 1864. Gallant, victorious charges, inglorious retreat and defeat. By Samuel D. Buck, Baltimore, Md., Captain Company H, thirteenth Virginia Infantry (First Colonel was A. P. Hill), Pegram's Brigade, Early's (old) Division, Army of Northern Virginia. Every Southern soldier in the trying days of 1861-5, desired to do his best, and all attested their heroism. They are all accepted as incomparable in general exemplification, by the world. Comparison of deserts now will avail naught, to the disparagment of another. Officers and privates, every one, had their own opinions in the Southern army, and, freedom in criticism of military movement was constantly used, without ensuing penalty. No one can appreciate the desperation of this grand movement without closely examining a war map. Having been born and reared almost within gunshot of this now historic battle-field, I can see every road and defile as I write. To our right flows, at t

racy, paid tribute to the character of Abraham Lincoln. Toast to Robert E. Lee. The opening toast, To the President and the Army and Navy of the United States: A Prince among the Rulers of the World and but the Servant of a Free People, was followed by the toast to General Lee, Nature Made Him and then Broke the Mold. In responding, Mr. Adams said: A New Englander by birth, descent, tradition, name and environment, closely associated with Massachusetts, I was a Union soldier from 1861 to 1865, and the one boast I make in life was, and is, and will ever be, that I also bore arms and confronted the Confederacy and helped to destroy it. Formerly of the Army of the Potomac, through long years I was intent on the overthrow of the Army of Northern Virginia. So far, moreover, as that past is concerned, having nothing to regret, to excuse or to extenuate, I am yet here on this day to respond to a sentiment in honor of the military leader once opposed to us—a Virginian and a Conf

led, perforce, to look upon and admire the brillant plumage of these strange, bright birds, who brought not the rich tidings of all glorious things, but sad disaster, on their starry wings. The scenes enacted during the memorable struggle between the North and South are still fresh in the memories of the older inhabitants of this heroic old city, who still recount to patient listeners the thrilling experiences of many of the citizens of Natchez in those historic times, those dark days from 1861 to 1865, when the horrors of civil war were felt throughout the land, and the iron heel of the invader was often endured, and hunger and suffering ensued whereever his footprints were left. Nearly every family in the South has its story of sorrow, suspense, anxiety and the hardships and makeshifts of sudden poverty incident to invasion, to relate. Many of them were made to realize the stern truth of General Sherman's utterance, War is hell. When Natchez was first garrisoned by the Un

one familiar with the subject: It is to be regretted that the very interesting historical account of the South Carolina College Cadets, written by Lieutenant Iredell Jones, and published in the News and Courier, December 19, 1901, could not have been made complete. Upon the refusal of Governor Pickens to muster into service the company of South Carolina Cadets, of which Professor Charles S. Venable was captain, many of the students, when the college closed after the June examinations (1861), went to the front and joined themselves to other South Carolina companies then in service in Virginia. Among these was Lieutenant Jones, who was subsequently wounded at the battle of First Manassas, and so was unable to return to college when the exercises were resumed in October, 1861. His absence from college at that time furnishes a sufficient reason for his not having a more familiar knowledge of that company to which he refers as Company No. 3. In October, 1861, the college was

lf a mile in breadth, and rises to a height of fifty feet above the lake level, containing about 300 acres. In its original state it was covered with a heavy growth of oaks, and is said to have been a favorite resort of the Indians. It was formerly owned by a man named Bull, and was then known as Bull's Island, and was the site of the old custom-house of the port, removed here from Port Marblehead. L. B. Johnson, of Sandusky, purchased the property in 1852, and rented it to the government in 1861 as a depot for Confederate prisoners, Company A, Hoffman Battalion, taking possession January 1, 1862. Companies B, C, and D were shortly after added, and in 1863 six more—all known as the One Hundred and Twenty-eight Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The first prisoners were brought here in April, 1862. The prison was eventually used almost exclusively for Confederate officers, the number varying from 2,000 to 3,000. During the full period of its occupancy about 15,000 prisoners were con

The campaign and battle of Lynchburg. An address delivered before the Garland-Rodes Camp of Confederate veterans at Lynchburg, Va., July 18, 1901. By Captain Charles M. Blackford, of the Lynchburg Bar. With Appendix of Rosters of the Lynchburg companies in the service of the Southern Confederacy, 1861-65. The strategic importance of the city of Lynchburg was very little understood by those directing the military movements of the Federal armies during the Civil war, or, if understood, there was much lack of nerve in the endeavor to seize it. It was the depot for the Army of Northern Virginia for all commissary and quartermaster stores gathered from the productive territory lying between it and Knoxville, Tennessee, and from all the country tributary to, and drained by, the Virginia & Tennessee Railroad. Here, also, were stored many of the scant medical supplies of the Confederacy, and here many hospitals gave accommodation to the sick and wounded from the martial lines
