resulted from the foregoing communication to the President, General Beauregard wrote the following letter to Colonels Wm. P. Miles and James Chestnut, both members of the Confederate Congress, at that time, and both of whom had acted as his volunteer aids in South Carolina and in Virginia. Manassas, Virginia, July 29th, 1861. My dear Colonels,—I send you, herewith, some important suggestions relative to the best mode of providing for the wants of this army, furnished me by Colonel L. M. Hatch, whose experience in such matters entitles his views and opinions to considerable weight. Unless the requirements of our army in the field are provided for beforehand, we shall be in a perfect state of destitution very shortly. I will remark here, that we have been out of subsistence for several days, some of my regiments not having had anything to eat for more than twentyfour hours. They have stood it, though, nobly; but, if it happens again, I shall join one of their camps and

Harris, Chief-Engineer, etc., etc.: Colonel,—The Commanding General wishes six floating torpedoes to be carried down Light-house Inlet, at night, and let loose as near the enemy's vessels as practicable. Colonel L. M. Hatch is a gentleman who, if provided with boats and torpedoes, could attend to the execution of this order, and would probably undertake it.

try, 1807-1861. The ante-bellum history of old Charleston's loyal sons was so continuously prominent in the annals of Charleston, for more than half a century, that it is only in order to refer very briefly to it here. Founded by William Lownes in 1807, upon receiving the news of the Leopard and Chesapeake affair, its roll of thirteen commanders down to 1861, reveals the character of its membership-Lowndes, Cross, Crafts, Simons, Miller, Gilchrist, Ravenel, Lee, Jervey, Porter, Walker, Hatch, Simonton. The public observance of Washington's birthday, by an oration and social functions, on 22d February, was an annual feature of W. L. I. life, and the annual response from the community indicated the highest public favor. This observance was continued up to and in the war period, the last celebration taking place in Fort Sumter while the command was part of the garrison of the gateway of Charleston, on the 22d of February, 1862. Referring to earlier annals, the W. L. I. was d

ndence would be of interest to my brother veterans, and herewith submit the same. Major Lucas's paper, which is entitled Recollections of the Beginning of the War Between the States, by Major J. J. Lucas, of Lucas's Battery Heavy Artillery (regulars) is given: The prevalent opinion in South Carolina in 860 was that war would not follow secession, and accordingly no preparation was made for it. A select militia of 10,000 men, armed and equipped for service, was recommended by Colonel L. M. Hatch, General A. M. Manigault and myself, to the legislature in 1858, but so satisfied were the political leaders that war was not probable, that the bill failed to pass. Hon. A. G. Magrath was an exception to this general view. He said at one of Governor Picken's cabinet meetings: This great government cannot be dissolved save by war, and we had better prepare for it. On the 9th of January, 1861, the steamer Star of the West was sent to provision and reinforce Fort Sumter, and w

who knows all about the matter, that it is not intended for that place at all. We all begin to breathe easier here. Money is a little more plenty; business begins to keep out from its dark recesses, and to inquire what's the news! and, by the way, that question is oftener asked now than any other. The Government of South Carolina is paying out thousands upon thousands daily for expenses of all kinds, and the Commissary Department is kept busy all the time, and is well managed by Col. L. M. Hatch, who, by the way, is a Northern man by birth, but a Loyal Southron. It is more and more apparent to discerning men that Virginia can end this strife — can prevent civil war and bloodshed at once — if she will only do it. If she secedes, I venture to say you will not hear a chirp again for"coercion;" and, mark my prediction now, if those men in the South, who have advocated coercion; or even who are willing to stay with the Northern States under any circumstances, are not hereafter

agent of Seguin, that she will give every pound of cotton she raises to the Confederate cause, and will attend to the gathering herself to see that all is saved. Gen. Beauregard's watch stopped during the great battle of Manassas. Quartermaster L. M. Hatch visiting Richmond soon after, was requested to deliver the watch to a watchmaker for repairs. On examining it, the artisan found nothing the matter beyond a jar or shock, and immediately set it agoning. On delivering the watch to General Beauregard, Col. Hatch remarked, "General, your watch, like yourself, cannot run under fire." The Charleston Courier has information which authorizes the belief that traitorous communication has been had with the blockading fleet from some points of the coast between Charleston and Savannah. A small sloop was recently overhauled containing five hundred chickens and other supplies, evidently intended for a Lincoln market. The crew of the sloop escaped in a small boat into a creek.
