th glory and heroism than that which is emblazoned with the flashes of artillery which belonged to that army. Are there any more glorious names on the proud and immortal roll of fame than those of Pelham, of Pegram, of Latimer, of Coleman, of Crutchfield, of Brown, of Watson, of McCarthy, and a thousand others that I might mention? Could anything be more incomplete than the history of the Army of Northern Virginia, with the splendid parts performed by the Washington Artillery Battalion, theIt bore a prominent part in the final assault which ended in driving the enemy from the field of Chancellorsville, silencing his batteries, and by a destructive enfilade fire upon his works, opened the way for the advance of our troops. Colonels Crutchfield, Alexander and Walker, and Lieutenantonels Brown, Carter and Andrews, with the officers and men of their commands, are numbered as deserving especial commendation. General Lee never had the time to write a report of the most brilliant

e was Captain E. D. Starke, chief of staff, and behind these two rode the following aids: Hon. George L. Christian, Colonel G. Percy Hawes, Captain E. J. Bosher, and Captain Beauregard Lorraine. The chief of staff and aids wore red sashes. Next came the First Virginia regiment, with the staff officers at the head of the organization. The popular infantrymen made an excellent showing, and all six companies turned out large numbers of men. Major W. E. Simons, the commandant, and Captain E. M. Crutchfield, the adjutant of the First battalion of artillery, followed after the infantrymen, and behind them came the Howitzer band, and then the other officers of the battalion. Artillerymen, old and young. The next organization in the procession was the present Howitzer battery, commanded by Captain John A. Hutcheson.

The First Battallion of Artillery, which was the largest body of cannoneers that has paraded the streets of this city for years, presented a magnificent appearance as they marched with even pace along the route. Major W. E. Simons commanded the artillerymen, and the following were the officers of his staff: Captain W. G. Harvey (adjutant), Major Ed. McCarthy (surgeon), Captain J. E. Phillips, Lieutenants R. L. Vandeventer, E. M. Crutchfield, and H. L. Turner. It is no disparagement to the visiting cannoneers to say that the Richmond Howitzers presented the finest appearance of all the batteries. They paraded mounted and carried their four guns, limber-chests and caissons. Eighty of the gallant artillerymen were in line, and as they marched in the procession, amid the heavy, rumbling sound of the cannon, there was something truly martial in their appearance. Captain John A. Hutcheson commanded the Howitzers, and his

Major Simons and his happy cannoneers attracted much admiration, and were the cause of much cheering as they moved through the crowded streets. There were four batteries in line, although the Richmond Howitzers were the only organization mounted upon caissons. Major Simons had as his staff Captain E. M. Crutchfield, Captain James E. Phillips, Captain William I. Harvey, Jr., Lieutenants T. M. Wortham and R. L. Van de Venter, and Sergeants Hugh Denoon, E. S. Kellam, Leroy D. Grant, and Harry Cole.
