Last days of the Army in Southwest Virginia. From the times-dispatch, November 5th, 1905. By Milton W. Humphreys. Professor Milton W. Humphreys, of the University of Virginia (a brave soldier before he became a learned professor), has aply described the last days of the Confederate forces in Southwest Virginia, under General Echols, in the article enclosed. The picture he draws of the artillerists who raised corn and potatoes, which were sent to Richmond for Lee's starving soldiers, makes realistic indeed the extreme hardships of the times, and the heroic toils by which they were alleviated. Professor Humphreys has contributed some most valuable material to our history, which would otherwise have been lost, and some papers which throw vivid lights over great events. It will be pleasing to his comrades of other days to hear that he will probably write more fully than has ever been done the story of McLaughlin's battalion of artillery which is one of surpassing heroism.
