ests of his adopted State. When North Carolina joined in the Confederate movement he offered her his military services, and upon the organization of the Thirty-fourth regiment was unanimously chosen its first colonel, in November, 1861. He soon brought his regiment to such a remarkable state of discipline and training, that in the latter part of December he was given command of a brigade, including the Thirty-third, Thirty-fourth, Thirty-seventh and part of a new regiment, at Raleigh. April 2, 1862, he was elected colonel of the Eleventh, formerly First or Bethel regiment, and at Wilmington was put in charge of a brigade, composed of his regiment and the Forty-third and Fifty-first, and Moore's horse artillery, to which two more regiments were added later. He remained in command of the district of Wilmington until September, when General Clingman was assigned, but on account of the prevalence of yellow fever, Colonel Leventhorpe was left in charge until he was ordered with his bri

Kendrick, of Columbia county; G, William C. Langford, of Eldorado, H, James Henry, of Hot Springs county. Under an act of Congress the regiment was reorganized by electing Tom Dockery, colonel; W. H. Dismukes, lieutenantcol-onel, and H. G. P. Williams, major. From Memphis it was ordered to Fort Pillow. April 2, 1862, the Federal fleet which had caused the evacuation of Island No.10 proceeded eighty miles below to Fort Pillow, and began a vigorous bombardment of that place and of Randolph, about twelve miles below, on the bluffs of Tennessee. Both places were rendered untenable, and the Confederates were withdrawn and sent to Corinth, Miss. They took part in the battles of Iuka and Corinth, where the Arkansas regiments bore themselves with greatest gallantry. The Nineteenth earned for its colonel,

s for the impending campaign. General Grant, with the three divisions which had been engaged at Fort Donelson, was now at Pittsburg Landing, on the Tennessee river. Soon after his arrival he was followed by three other divisions, commanded by Sherman, Hurlbut, and Prentiss. The Federal force at this time consisted of six large divisions, suitably armed and equipped, and eight regiments of cavalry; besides, a splendid corps of artillery, made up of the best batteries in use. On April 2, 1862, these hostile armies camped within eighteen miles of each other without any barrier between them—that is, no river or impassable object. It will be remembered that the Federal army was greatly elated over the success it achieved at Fort Donelson, while the Confederates, painfully reminded of that disaster, were anxious and impatient to efface it from the minds of our people. It was on this day, the afternoon of April 2, that General Johnston decided to attack Grant before Buell, w

d the mainland, occupied by rebels, they were placed in irons and confined at the Rip Raps. Fugitives from freedom, encountering every peril to escape therefrom, by some fugitive freedom laws are pursued, overtaken, loaded with irons and threatened with worse if they make further efforts to free themselves from freedom. It may be, in cold iron outline, is imaged something of deeper import—the name of freedom graven on a heavier chain. In the State where I live, said John Sherman, on April 2, 1862 we do not like negroes. We do not disguise our dislike. As my friend from Indiana (Mr. Wright) said yesterday, The whole people of the Northwestern States, are, for reasons, whether correct or not, opposed to having many negroes among them, and that principle or prejudice has been engraved in the legislation of nearly all the Northwestern States. The Bill of Rights of Oregon (published by authority of an act approved February 25, 1901) prohibits the free negro, or mulatto, from com

A bill reported from the Military Committee to increase the number of depositaries of the public fund, and providing that the incumbents shall not continue in office longer than one year after the war, was passed. The Senate also passed a bill, reported from the Military Committee, "for keeping the firearms belonging to the Government in the hands of effective men." The bill provides that the President be authorized to raise a, force of pikemen, either by companies, battalions or regiments, who are to be organized as infantry, and may be detached for service in regiments of other arms in the proportion of two companies of pikemen to a regiment. Also, providing that in case of the death or discharge of soldiers, their firearms shall be put into the hands of effective men taken from the drilled ranks of the pikemen.
