at I desire to state is, this gun was one of a section of the Macon Light Artillery, of Macon, Georgia, referred to in General A's first paper, wherein he says, Among the guns in position on Lee's hill were two thirty-pound Parrotts, under Lieutenant Anderson, which had just been sent from Richmond, and which did beautiful practice until they burst, one at the thirty-ninth round, and the other at the fifty-fourth.

Now, what I desire to state is, this gun was one of a section of the Macon Light Artillery, of Macon, Georgia, referred to in General A's first paper, wherein he says, Among the guns in position on Lee's hill were two thirty-pound Parrotts, under Lieutenant Anderson, which had just been sent from Richmond, and which did beautiful practice until they burst, one at the thirty-ninth round, and the other at the fifty-fourth. In connection with this I will state, that during this engagement an officer bore a message from General Lee, complimenting the command upon its effective fire. In returning, and in sight of the men, this officer was killed by a fragment of shell. Now, who was this officer? We have had his name given as Captain King. We ha

On the 13th of April, under bombardment, the Federal Commander, Major Anderson, with its garrison, surrendered. On April 15th President Lincoln issued his proclamation for 75,000 men to make war against the seceded States, which he styled: Combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial pr Virginia, Breckinridge, of Kentucky, H.

rges. He put his army in position from Lee & Gordon's mills to Lafayette, on the road leading south from Chattanooga and fronting the east slope of Lookout Mountain. （General Bragg's report, page 4.) But he gave the benefit of the doubt to the former contingency, and commenced a backward movement, with orders to close on the center, and Crittenden, at Gordon's mills, to be put in good defensive position. See General Bragg's letter to me of February 8th, also letters of Generals Patton, Anderson, and W. T. Martin, furnished to me by General Bragg, and on file. McLemore's Cove. To return for a moment to McLemore's Cove, General Bragg had sent General Hindman to attack Thomas in flank and rear, whilst he would move up the mountain in force from Lafayette and attack in front; § the attack in front to commence when the guns of Hindman were heard in the rear.

for the surrender or evacuation was carried by Colonel Chesnut, of South Carolina, and Captain S. D. Lee. They arrived at Sumter at 2:20 P. M. April 11th. Major Anderson declined to surrender, but remarked he would be starved out in a few days if he was not knocked to pieces by General Beauregard's batteries. This remark was repeated to General Beauregard, who informed President Davis. The result was, a second message was sent to Major Anderson by the same officers, accompanied by Roger A. Pryor, of Virginia, and Colonel Chisholm, of South Carolina. The messengers arrived at Sumter at 12:25 A. M. April 12th. Major Anderson was informed that if he woMajor Anderson was informed that if he would say that he would surrender on April 15th, and in the meantime would not fire on General Beauregard's batteries, unless he was fired on, he would be allowed that time; also that he would not be allowed to receive provisions from the United States authorities.

Notes and Queries. Did General Lee offer his sword only to Virginia, in the great war between the States? This is a somewhat popular idea which is intimated in the statements of Governor Anderson, in Colonel Bullitt's paper, in our last number. But the truth is, that while General Lee held his first allegiance as due to his native State, awaited calmly her action before deciding on his own course, and expressed his purpose, on leaving the United States army, of never drawing his sword again save in her defence, yet the whole Confederacy had the warm affections and loyal service of this devoted patriot. The late Vice-President Stephens said that when he was sent to Richmond to induce Virginia, after her secession, to cast in her fortunes with the Southern Confederacy, he found an able, zealous and very influential coadjutor in General Lee. In his address at the great Lee Memorial meeting in Richmond, in November, 1870, President Davis said, among other eloquent utterance

Remember, also, Lee's Virginia soil conditions of acceptance. His is a wondrous record of consistent purity!—Governor Anderson. This is a wondrous bundle of errors.
