rigade numbered 2,200 effective at the opening of the campaign, and reports his loss in the battles about Manassas at 631; his brigade was also engaged at South Mountain and could not have exceeded 1,500. General D. H. Hill says: My ranks had been diminished by some additional straggling, and the morning of the 17th I had but 3,000 infantry. * * In the meantime, General R. H.

ift passing away of the material objects about us. A century or two, and where are the most pretentious of our structures? Where are our marts, our factories, and temples? Forms, fashions, institutions change—the rich and the poor exchange places—animated nature bows to decay and passes in turn to oblivion! But the ashes of the noble dead remain in mother earth, and the memory of their deeds hallows the soil. Think you that the valor of George B. Anderson is lost, the gallantry of L. O'B. Branch, the calm and intrepid patriotism of the host of lesser rank that lie beside them in either of our cities of the dead—Burgwyn, and Turner, and Shotwell; the Haywoods, Manlys, Rogers, Engelhard; the knightly Smedes, the great—hearted William E. Anderson—ah! where shall I pause in the bead-roll of heroes; how dare we not include every private, who bore his musket well, in that great brigade that lie in eternal bivouac on our eastern slopes, awaiting the trump of the resurrection morn?

On the 24th of June, 1862, in thort while, with the cavalry in front, our battery in the centre and Branch's Brigade in the rear, we were swinging down the road towards the nof the Yankees, and finally reached Mechanicsville. The advance of Branch's Brigade, our battery and the cavalry had uncovered the Meadowbrideek. Captain Johnson ordered the writer forward to report to General Branch, to state that the battery was up, and ask where he desired itittle mare to the top of the hill in order to get over to where General Branch had established his field headquarters, but failed each time to and proceeded on foot.

Ellis, in Robert E. Lee, Charles F. Fisher, William Pender, L. O'B. Branch, or in the men who followed them. It was sad indeed that disagreements politically between countrymen could not be adjusted without an appeal to the sword. Their divisions were political only and had their origin in what was honestly held
