Then is there at Headquarters mad haste, Jackson leaping into the saddle and galloping (the pack to the sidealleys with canister-shot until Jackson re-occupied the village. The explanation wor supports, and with that audacity which, as Jackson taught, was on some occasions the most timelythough no blood or crime had polluted it, and Jackson has rested until the midnight hour ushers in fashion was the golden opportunity lost; and Jackson, at mid-day, instead of returning victorious my answer has always been: In no event could Jackson have survived to see the cause lost. What, y all is the sight of those former comrades of Jackson and Lee, who are willing to live and to be ba even the glory of having served with Lee and Jackson? Corinth comes next and Farmington.

adily advancing everywhere and sweeping everything before them; another moment and all is altered. The disordered ranks of blue come rushing back in disorder, while the Rebels followed fast, and then bullethitting around us caused guards and prisoners to decamp. What was the import of this? None could tell, but still the reflux tide bore us back with it. At last a prisoner, a wounded Rebel officer, was being supported back to the rear, and we asked him, and the reply came back: Stonewall Jackson has just gotten back from Harper's Ferry, those troops fighting the Yankees now are A. P. Hill's division. Well, we felt all right, if Old Stonewall was up, none need care about the result. Still forward came the wave of gray, still backward receeded the billows of blue, heralded by warning hiss of the bullets, the sparkling of the rifle flashes, the purplish vapor settling like a veil over the lines, the mingled hurrahs and wild yells, and the bass accompaniment over on our left

The Maryland line in the Confederate Army. By General. B. T. Johnson. The prevailing idea among the Marylanders, who went South to join their fortunes with those of the Confederate States, was to concentrate themselves into one body, commanded by their own officers, carrying the flag of the State, and to be called the Maryland Line. I marched the first company across the Potomac from Frederick, the Frederick Volunteers, and by the permission and under the direction of Colonel Jackson, established myself with it at the Point of Rocks on the 9th day of May, 1861. I selected that point as most convenient for rendezvous of such men as might desire to join us. In a few days I was joined by Captain C. C. Edelin, with another company, and other companies under Captains Herbert, Nicholas, and others, were rapidly organized at Harper's Ferry. But we intelligently declined to enter the service of Virginia, and insisted upon being mustered into that of the Confederate States. Acc

General Floyd's command was ordered to Cotton Mountain, probably a hundred miles distant. Floyd's command was now reinforced, and consisted of the following troops: Twenty-first Virginia regiment, Thirty-sixth Virginia regiment, Forty-fifth Virginia regiment, Fiftieth Virginia regiment, and Fifty-first Virginia regiment; the Thirteenth Georgia, Georgia battalion of cavalry, Twentieth Mississippi regiment, a company of Louisiana sharpshooters, Captain John H. Guy's artillery company, and Captains Jackson's and Adams's batteries, and a few cavalry companies. From Little Sewell to Cotton Mountain we had to march through a very rugged section of country, and were compelled to take a very circuitous route in order to reach this place. It was with great difficulty that we succeeded in conveying our cannon up and over some of the mountains we had to cross. Our horses being in such a weakened condition, we had to hitch twelve to one piece of cannon and put our shoulders to the wheels. Howe

s, but peculiarly so to the artillery; and that when fought at all, it was put in only in inefficient driblets. I select two or three examples where the most important consequences were involved. On the morning of the 30th of June, 1862, General Jackson, leading four divisions in pursuit, struck the enemy's rear-guard at White Oak Swamp about 9.30 A. M., and decided to force the crossing with artillery. It was 1.45 P. M. before twenty-eight guns could be concentrated and opened. Officialery to play on the Yankees, a single battery (Moorman's) was ordered up and knocked to pieces in a few moments. One or two others shared the same fate of being beaten in detail. Not knowing how to act under these circumstances, I wrote to General Jackson that the firing from our batteries was of the most farcical character. The serious defects of the artillery organization were, however, not entirely unappreciated, even before the experience of the Seven Days. On the 22nd of June, General

Silence! Ground arms! Kneel all! Caps off! Ole massa's goina to pray. Strangle re worn? What matter if our feet are torn? Quick step! We're with him before dawn. That's Stonewall Jackson's way.

Notes and Queries. Field Notes at Chancellorsville from Stuart and Jackson. Lexington, Ky., January 27, 1883. Rev. J. Wm. Jones, Richmond, Va.: My Dear Sir,—Mrs. Thos. R. Price, of Richmond, Va., has recently submitted to my perusal some in battle near Chancellorsville, on 1st May, 1863. Among these I find one of the last field dispatches written by Stonewall Jackson. General Stuart writes to General Jackson as follows: headquarters cavalry division, 12 M., May 1st, 1863. General Jackson as follows: headquarters cavalry division, 12 M., May 1st, 1863. General,—I am on a road running from Spotsylvania C. H. to Silvers, which is on Plank Road, three miles below Chancellorsville. General Fitz. Lee is still further to the left and extends scouts to Plank Road (Orange), and has the Turnpike watchedu. May God grant us victory. Yours truly, J. E. B. Stuart, Major-General. Upon the back of this dispatch General Jackson writes, evidently while on horseback, and with a badly pointed lead pencil: 12 1/2 P. M., May 1st, 1863. General.

A. Early, on Stonewall Jackson's Campaign against Pope. We acknowledge the courtesy of invitations to attend the lecture and banquet, and very much regret that our Southern tour will compel us to forego our full purpose of being present. We hope, however, that we shall have the privilege of publishing General Early's paper, which will, doubtless, be an able and valuable discussion of that splendid campaign. the Louisiana division of the Army of Northern Virginia held its annual Reunion and Banquet in New Orle

Then, for his afternoo even though there was now no bridge by which Jackson might reach him. Why then a performance so spracticed to our detriment, even sometimes by Jackson, who was least bound by professional trammelsknowledge.
