n pursuit of the routed foe. Then we took up the cheering, and fell in the pursuit. I trust that many hearts went up that hour in gratitude to the God of battles. Many noble sacrifices were laid on the altar in this battle. Generals Bee and Bartow, Col. Egbert Jones, of the 4th Alabama, Col. Johnson, of South Carolina, and a host of other noble patriots, laid down their lives for the cause of the South. A young Georgian of Bartow's brigade said, as he lay dying on this bloody field: I wilBartow's brigade said, as he lay dying on this bloody field: I will go up and make my report to the Almighty as to the Commander-in-Chief of all. I will tell him I have been a faithful soldier and a dutiful son, though an unfaithful servant of God; nevertheless, my fearless trust is in Jesus Christ, the Saviour of men. Rev. C. W. Howard, who commanded a company in the famous 8th Georgia, here fell a martyr to the cause. He was killed in the grove where the 8th Georgia was first engaged. He stepped in front of his company, and was in the act of dressing his

e young soldier well at his own home in Savannah, Ga. We sat down on the edge of the bed and began a conversation with the three. Whitfield Stevens belonged to Bartow's regiment; had fought through several battles, and was now dying from fever occasioned by the exposure and hardships incident to the soldier's life. He was the Church, or professor of religion? No, he replied, but I'll tell you how far I have committed myself to religion. After the battle of Manassas-and you know that Bartow's regiment suffered a great deal — I felt that the Almighty had been very merciful to protect my unworthy life; and late in the evening, just a little after sunset that means! I will tell you what it means. At Manassas, when the bullets were whistling around us like hail, and our boys were dropping in the ranks, and poor Bartow fell, then the Almighty covered my defenceless head with the shadow of his wing! With a deeper emphasis than we had employed, he repeated- Cover my defencele

ateau. The brigade of Holmes and another were put in the line. Additional pieces of artillery came dashing up, and a new inspiration seemed to be caught by the Confederates. The line swept grandly forward; shouts ran along it; and steadily it penetrated the fire of the enemy's artillery. The whole open ground was again swept clear of the enemy; but it was strewn with the evidences of a terrible carnage. Gen. Bee had fallen near the Henry House, mortally wounded. A little further on, Col. Bartow, of Georgia had fallen, shot through the heart-and one of the bravest and most promising spirits of the South was there quenched in blood. But the tide of fortune had changed; the plateau was now firmly in our possession; and the enemy, driven across the turnpike and into the woods, was visibly disorganized. But there were to be three stages in the battle of Manassas. We have already described two: the enemy's flank movement and momentary victory, and the contest for the plateau. Th

Bee's command was composed of the Second and Eleventh Mississippi, Sixth North Carolina and Fourth Alabama regiments, and Imboden's battery. After participating in the maneuvers in the valley against Patterson, his brigade was the firand ordered the opening of the artillery fire which checked the Federal advance and made the subsequent victory possible. He was the ranking officer on this part of the field during the early hours of battle, and supported Evans with his own and Bartow's brigades, while Jackson followed and took position on the line he had selected. Forced back by Federal reinforcements, he rallied his troops, and during the confusion shouted the historic words: Look at Jackson's brigade. It stands there like

the college, he accompanied it as second lieutenant, and served on Sullivan's island. After the fall of Sumter he returned to college. He then enlisted in Company A, Washington light infantry, Captain Conner commanding, and joined the Hampton legion at Richmond, a few days before the battle of Manassas, 1861. In that famous victory, during the charge at 3 p. m. of the legion upon Rickett's battery, he was wounded at the Henry house, near the spot where General Bee, Colonel Fisher and Colonel Bartow fell. His wound was a serious one, through the leg, and he was taken to Richmond by his uncle, Robin Jones, and being among the first wounded soldiers brought to that city from the field, was the cause of great curiosity and excitement, as well as lavish attention. After six months disability he returned to the college. In June, 1861, after the college company returned from Sullivan's island, a second company of students was formed, with Prof. C. S.

by two companies from southwest Kentucky under Captains Edward Crossland and Brownson, and proceeded to Harper's Ferry. The companies of Captain Pope, who was a veteran of the Mexican war, and Captain Desha, were formed into a battalion of rifle-sharpshooters under Captain Pope, who was made major. The other companies constituted a battalion under Major Blanton Duncan, of Louisville, who had been active in assisting to raise those from that city. They were assigned to the brigade of General Bartow, of Georgia, who was killed at the battle of Bull Run. Pope's and Duncan's battalions are reported in the return of the army of the Shenandoah, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's division, June 30, 1861. A number of other companies were tendered, but owing to the lack of arms the Confederate government was compelled to decline for the time any more recruits. It was therefore deemed best to establish a camp to which volunteers from Kentucky could be sent for organization and drill until such
