l the succeeding March to suit 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.

in our lines, bore no resemblance to any other attack delivered by Lee before or afterwards—for Malvern Hill, where Jackson was misled by his guides, and where D. H. Hill precipitated the action by misinterpretation of a signal, does not offer a proper basis of comparison. Generally the instinct of an army may be trusted to adjucksburg, not a step in retrograde did the Southern General take. He accepted the challenge from a superior force, marched promptly out with the corps of Ewell and Hill, planted himself on the ridges over Mine Run, and offered battle for two whole days. On the night of the third he massed two divisions on his right to assault theccess without elation is as certain as that he rose superior to defeat. He never knew ambition in its vulgar sense. That wizard of speech, the late Georgia Senator Hill, in his grand memorial address on the life and character of Lee, spoke of him as Washington without his reward.

s been shown that 30,000 rifles and three full batteries of cannon, besides thirty other cannon, were seized at the Fayetteville arsenal, and that 11,000 of the rifles were given to the State of Virginia, the others being used by the North Carolina troops. The ordnance book shows how the other supplies with which to start the war, the powder, the bullets, etc., were obtained. The first entry in the ordnance book is the list of stores, amounting to $242,000, recommended by C. C. Tew and D. H. Hill to be purchased, the recommendation being dated January 12, 1861. This has already been published, as also the order dated January 19th to Lieutenant C. C. Lee to go North and look after the purchase of ordnance stores. Lieutenant Lee left that day. He went first to Richmond, where J. R. Anderson, of the Tredegar Iron Works, offered to furnish the State with any cannon it needed, iron or brass, at United States Government prices; including 8 and 10-inch Columbiads (cannon of large bore)

As compared with official reports of great battles later in the war, which were brief and destitute of all but the most important details, it is quite a curiosity. Nevertheless, it is interesting, and tells the rey. The enemy must have lost some 300. I could not, without great disparagement of their courage, place their loss at a lower figure. D. H.

Alabama, and Colonel Battle, Third Alabama, for highly meritorious conduct throughout the campaign. Very soon after the battle of Sharpsburg Gordon was promoted to brigadier-general, and assigned to a Georgia brigade. A little later Major-General D. H. Hill, who had commanded the division, was made lieutenant-general, and sent West, and Brigadier-General Rodes was assigned to the command of Hill's division, while E. A. O'Neal, as senior colonel, commanded Rodes' brigade. With the brigade tHill's division, while E. A. O'Neal, as senior colonel, commanded Rodes' brigade. With the brigade thus organized, the battle of Chancellorsville was fought, and it was here that Hobson was shot down while gallantly leading his regiment. At Gettysburg Colonel Battle was promoted to brigadier-general, and Rodes' brigade became Battle's brigade, the only change in its constitution being the transfer of the Twenty-sixth Alabama to the West, and the substitution of the Sixty-first Alabama in its stead. From this time forward Hobson was constantly under the eye of the writer. He was distingui

shape, but our position, aside from their fortifications, was far inferior to theirs. Our line of battle, as formed, extending from right to left, was as follows: Longstreet on the right, A. P. Hill to his left, then the divisions of Ewell and D. H. Hill to his left in the order stated. Whiting's division, composed of Hood's and Law's brigades, did not form in line, but were held in reserve near Cold Harbor. The battle began in earnest a little past 12 o'clock, and soon raged with fury on ourops in Virginia how to win victory, and was the forerunner of the series of splendid achievements which henceforth attended Lee's army. Others have claimed the credit of being the first to break the Federal lines at Gaines' Mill, notably General D. H. Hill, who commanded the extreme left of the Confederate army. Fortunately, the claim of the Texas Brigade to this honor does not depend solely on the testimony of themselves, for in addition we have as witnesses General Lee, who commanded the C
