untry roads are furnished by the Mayor of Atlanta as follows: Mayor's Office, Atlanta, Ga., May 13, 1880. T. B. Roy, Esq.: Dear Sir — Yours of the 12th instant received. The distance from Atlanta to Decatur is six miles; to Cobb's mill about seven or eight miles. From Atlanta to Decatur by Cobb's mill about fourteen or fifteen miles. . . I will cheerfully give you any information I can about this country. I was born at Decatur, and am well acquainted with it. Very respectfully, W. L. Calhoun. But General Hood says Hardee's troops were fresh (174); that they had been allowed almost absolute rest the entire day of the 21st (191). In this he is also at fault. General Hardee says his troops had had little rest for thirty-six hours. We have seen above what kind of absolute rest the entire day of the 21st Cleburne's division had enjoyed. When the troops of that division went into action on the 22d, they had been marching, working and fighting continuously for forty-eight hou

ly engaged in the practice of his profession, and in political life. He represented first the county of Campbell, in the Virginia legislature, and was afterwards repeatedly elected from Patrick county to the same body. He was a member of the famous Convention of 1829-30, and of the Convention of 1850, in which he was actively associated with the Hon. Henry A. Wise. He represented the Patrick District in the Federal Congress during the Nullification period, and was a strong supporter of Mr. Calhoun in that crisis. Concerning his personal character I quote the words of another: Archibald Stuart was known far and wide, both for his splendid talents and his wonderful versatility. A powerful orator and advocate, he charmed the multitude on the hustings, and convinced juries and courts. In addition to these gifts, he was one of the most charming social companions the state ever produced. Possessing wonderful wit and humor, combined with rare gift for song, he at once became the c

After the exercises at the Capitol the society and its guests repaired to the Kimball House, where an elegant banquet was spread. It was the first annual banquet of the society, and no pains were spared to make it a perfect success in every particular. The speakers were as follows: Captain W. Gordon McCabe, Governor W. J. Northen, Mayor W. A. Hempphill, Colonel W. L. Calhoun, Hon. Clark Howell, Hoke Smith, Rev. Dr. George B. Strickland, and Major J. C. Courtney. Baltimore. Fall in was the command at night of General Bradley T. Johnson, as he looked over a great mass of talking, hand-shaking, congratulating Confederate veterans. They had met to celebrate the anniversary of the birthday of General Robert E. Lee.

avalry service adapted to the wants of the country; he augmented the seacoast and frontier defenses; he had the western part of the continent explored for scientific, geographical and railroad purposes. He was universally recognized as a great secretary of war, and few have filled that high office who left behind him more enduring monuments of wise and efficient administration. Let us now return to Mr. Davis' career as a senator. That was the era of senatorial giants. Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Benton, Seward, Benjamin, Douglas, Toombs, and a host of other men hardly less distinguished adorned its rolls and formed a galaxy of genius such as has rarely been gathered in any deliberative body. It is not too much to say that Jefferson Davis promptly took his place amongst the foremost of them all, and won speedy and universal recognition as inferior to none in power of debate, in forensic eloquence, in indomitable courage and tact, in breadth and depth of knowledge, and in masterly

The correspondence between Mayor Calhoun and two councilmen of Atlanta, representing to General Sherman the frightful suffering that would be visited on the people of that city by the execution of his conduct on the field of battle. Just before his death, in this city, at the residence of his sonin-law, Mr. L. J. Hill, I called on him, accompanied by Colonel W. L. Calhoun. In talking over the events of the war, he said to us: Calhoun, you and Thomas must keep my army record correct, and we promised to do so, and shook his hCalhoun, you and Thomas must keep my army record correct, and we promised to do so, and shook his hand for the last time.

es of the sick and helpless and rob women of their finger rings and carry off their clothing. He then tells of the deliberate burning of Atlanta, by Sherman's order, of the driving out from the city of its whole population of all ages, sexes and conditions in the fields of a desolated country to starve and die, as far as he knew or cared. You have only to read these recitals and you have the picture which Sherman made and which he truly denominated Hell. The correspondence between Mayor Calhoun and two councilmen of Atlanta, representing to General Sherman the frightful suffering that would be visited on the people of that city by the execution of his inhuman order, and General Sherman's reply, can be found in the second volume of Sherman's Memoirs, at pages 124-5; we can only extract one or two paragraphs from each. The letter of the former says, among other things: Many poor women are in advanced state of pregnancy, others now having young children, and whose husbands

ssly exaggerated account of the reception of the Yankees by the citizens who remained there. This letter, we are assured by Mr. Jones, does great injustice to Mayor Calhoun, whose patriotism cannot be doubted. The Mayor remained in Atlanta, after sending away his family and household effects, at the urgent request of the citizens, to make the best terms he could for the poor who were unable to remove. Mayor Calhoun has two sons in our army, one of whom--Captain W. L. Calhoun--was severely wounded on the retreat from Dalton. The other — James Calhoun — has been a private in the ranks, gallantly serving his country without thought or expectation of any rew--Captain W. L. Calhoun--was severely wounded on the retreat from Dalton. The other — James Calhoun — has been a private in the ranks, gallantly serving his country without thought or expectation of any reward other than the consciousness of doing his duty. The letter, we presume, is equally unjust in its reference to oth
