pped. They are all gone, and it made me think that in a few years we will all be gone. Mr. Allston here read a letter from Mrs. Kate Sherry Chase, the devoted sister of Henry Sherry, in which she said that the uncertainty of life prompted her to place in the care of the Ladies' Confederate Memorial Association the sword and picture of her brother. They were precious treasures to her; her brother had served in Crescent Company E, and left New Orleans at the first call, and command of General Beauregard, and fell on the field of Shiloh. Handing the sword and picture to Mrs. Behan, Mr. Allston said that he did the bidding of this sister, and placed the relics in the hands of the Association, there to remain 'till time shall be no more. General Chalaron accepted the relics for Memorial Hall. It was a privilege for him to accept this sword, over which a sister had wept and which she had cherished so many years. The cause had been called lost, but it was never lost. On the part of

ur appreciation of my endeavors to assist your chapter in the successful career that has marked its existence. The very kind terms in which your sentiments have been expressed in the bestowal of this precious cross, will ever remain with me in grateful remembrance. Many years ago, as the Confederate army, fresh from the bloody field of Shiloh, lay in and around Corinth, hourly expecting another great engagement with the federal masses under General Halleck, an address was issued by our Beauregard announcing that medals of honor for great distinction won in the coming battle awaited officers and men of his army. Every heart in our ranks was stirred by this announcement, and thousands of the youth and manhood of Louisiana and of her sister States, to whom it applied, vowed to themselves that the decoration should be theirs. Superior authority, however, revoked this noble order, and ever has there lingered in my heart regret that it did not prevail. The feelings and aspirations

antagonists, its fields devastated and unproductive, while the unlimited supplies of the North, with the markets of the world at command, were comparatively unaffected. The story of Appomattox, when the remnant of the once proud army of Northern Virginia yielded its eight thousand muskets to the encircling hosts of its persistent foe, speaks in no equivocal manner of the straits to which the Confederacy had been reduced. The starry cross, the banner of Lee and Jackson, of Johnston and Beauregard, of Stuart, Hampton and Forrest, was laid away. Time is the great physician. The passions of the past have been measurably stilled, and out of a great evil and trial we can appropriate and secure lessons of good. While the cause of these dear comrades failed in the purpose for which they and we gave our best efforts and prayers, yet the memories of their valiant struggle, the gallantry and undaunted courage with which they asserted their manhood, the fortitude with which they endured

uit the convenience of the Chief-Justice. The defense was anxious for Judge Chase to preside, so it consented to the delay. On the 26th of March, 1868, a new indictment was found against the prisoner, charging him in many counts with many acts of treason, conspicuous amongst which was conspiring with Robert E. Lee, J. P.

E. Lee and others, and another at Five Forks, all of which things were done traito

umber of men with which Lee had entered upon the campaign. Up to this time, including Smith's corps, Grant had received in reinforcements 51,000 muskets, Lee 14,000. These statistics are pregnant with testimony as to the skill of our commander and the efficient valor of his troops. But the end was not yet. Once in front of the historic town on the Appomattox—where for the first and only time in the game of strategy, the Federal general fairly stole a march upon his opponent—but where Beauregard with a brilliant audacity, not yet sufficiently recognized, defended the position against great odds until the lost time was repaired — the situation seemed to Grant or Meade to justify a renewal of those clashes of solid lines upon well-manned earthworks to which the Federal army had already sacrificed so many lives and so much morale. The result was disastrious as usual, and again the army and Northern public murmured at what they deemed a reckless expenditure of blood. And then the ta<

Battle of Shiloh. [from the Atlanta Journal, July, 1901.] How the Federal advance in the West was crushed. Some very gallant fighting. What Beauregard and Grant said about It—The losses were very Heavy—Figures showing the forces Engaged—Longstreet not in fight. The author of the short sketch of the battle of Shiloh, which appeared in the Journal on last Saturday, was mistaken in some of his statements concerning that memorable conflict. In the first place the Confederates did not capture the division of General Prentiss, without the firing of a gun. Although the division was surprised, it made a gallant fight and did not surrender until late in the afternoon—about half-past 5 o'clock, says General Prentiss. General Beauregard, who took command of the Confederates upon the death of General Albert Sidney Johnston, says: By 5 o'clock the whole Federal army except Prentiss's division with a part of W. H. L. Wallace's, had receded to the river bank, and the indomita
