prison question generally, in which he justifies the hanging of Wirtz, but attributes the responsibility of murdering thousands of Union soldiers to the hellish malice of the representative men of the Southern Confederacy, two of the most prominent of whom were Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee, displays on his own part a blind malice, only equalled by his profound ignorance of the facts, We shall hereafter pay our respects to some of these remarkable utterances— remarkable for one writing in 1882 instead of 1865—and show up their utter absurdity. Meantime, if Mr. Gerrish can produce a single one of the orders from General Lee or President Davis, or any other prominent Confederate leader which, either directly or indirectly, approved of cruelty to prisoners, he will make a contribution to history, which Holt and his infamous band of Perjurers, in the days when the Bureau of Military Justice was flourishing, sought for in vain. But despite of these very serious blots, it is a well w

Moore Son, 475 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington; Page Courier, Luray, Page county, Va. This book has been too long before the public to need any commendation from us; but surely the fact that the few remaining copies will be sold for the benefit of the orphan children of the gallant soldier, will cause them to be bought up at once. 1861 vs. 1882.

We say nothing as to its literary merits, or the taste of some things in it, but we do not hesitate to advise all who want a picture of the private Confederate soldier as he was, in camp, on the march, in the bivouac, on the battle-field, in the hospital—to send $1.50 to the author at Columbia, Tenn., and procure a copy of this book. Some of the pictures of soldier life are

the Confederate flag, before the blockaders returned to port. After this she made several successful trips through the blockade and later was transferred to other parties, and subsequently she was attacked by the enemy and destroyed at the mouth of the Ogechee river. I am persuaded that the Federals did not know that the Nashville went into Georgetown until it was revealed to them by my capture below New Orleans in April, 1862. I had then among my private papers the rough draft of my report to Secretary Mallory, in which I had announced to him the escape of the vessel from Morehead City and her entrance into Georgetown. The Federal officer who read this rough report seemed to have the impression that the Nashville had sailed direct to Nassau, and so expressed himself to me. On my telling him that I had taken her into Georgetown he was greatly surprised, and the circumstances of her escape were thus for the first time communicated to the Federal Government.

hakespeare has so admirably illustrated by Shylock, in whom hate was stronger than avarice, and avarice stronger than love for his daughter. But if Dr. von Holst's idea was to achieve fame and fortune by pandering to that bitterness of feeling in 1882, he will surely be disappointed, if the manliness and magnanimity of the New England character has not been greatly overestimated. On page 1, Dr. von Holst rolls up the curtain with a good deal of stage thunder, to display Calhoun's impure idoltrinaire, for Liar! Calhoun died 31st March, 1850. He had been in his grave over thirty years. His fame is part of the inheritance of the whole American people. It is much to be regretted that such language concerning him should now appear in 1882 under so respectable an imprint as that of Houghton, Mifflin & Co. In justice to them, we assume that in their extensive business, it is impossible for them personally to supervise all that comes from their press. They are compelled to entrust mu

d McClellan's army and assisted in the burning of all the supplies of the latter at Whitehouse. With two comrades, William Smoot, of Alexandria, and another one by the name of Green, he joined the Seventeenth Virginia Infantry and fought with them at Cold Harbor, Frazier's farm, and Malvern Hill. After the war Mr. Taliaferro went to Mississippi, where he taught school at Greenville, and from there he removed to Macon, Ga., and in 1870 to Savannah, where he conducted a private school until 1882. In October, 1881, he married a Miss Barclay, of Savannah, and upon the death of his wife in 1892 he returned to Virginia, to his old homestead in Orange county. His family residence is one of the old homesteads in this country that have been deeded from the crown by George III, and which has never passed from the possession of his family. Mr. Taliaferro never took an active part in politics until the Cleveland election in 1892. Last fall he entered into a contest with Mr. George Barbo

officers all bore date of July 11th, 1861. The regiment was composed originally of twelve companies, but two of them, C and D, were very soon transferred to other commands, and the lettering, A, B, E, F, G, H, I, K, L, and M, for the ten companies was retained. This fact is mentioned because the lettering of the companies of this regiment, as reported in the register published by the Adjutant-General of the State in November, 1861, and in the roster of the troops published by the State in 1882, is incorrectly given. Company A was from Caldwell county; Company B, from McDowell county; Company E, from Guilford county; Company F, from Alleghany county; Company G, from Caswell county; Company H, from Stokes county; Company I, from Randolph county; Company K, from McDowell county; Company L, from Randolph county, and Company M, from Randolph county.
