re we were joined by the other companies of Pegram's Battalion, and our march was then begun in earnest. We first crossed the river at Kelly's Ford, which place had already become famous on account of the numerous cavalry fights which had in part been settled there, prominent among which was the battle of the 17th of March, 1863, in which the gallant and much lamented young artillerist, Major Pelham, received his death wound, after having arisen to the proud position of chief of artillery of Jeb Stuart's cavalry corps. This chivalrous young officer was known throughout the whole army and enjoyed the reputation of being a bold and courageous officer, whose example had the telling effect of making heroes of his very gallant command. Kelley's Ford was one of the first points seized by General Grant in his campaign against Richmond. And here looms up before me in quick succession Germania, Raccoon, and Ely's Fords.

A striking War incident. [from the Baltimore, Md., sun, December, 1901.] How General Jeb. Stuart lost his life in Recapturing a borrowed Maryland Battery. General Bradley T. Johnson, the distinguished Maryland exCon-federate, writes to the Sun as follows, giving some hitherto unpublished military dispatches connected with the operations of Maryland troops in the battles around Richmond in 1864: Among your collection of unpublished military dispatches you may include these two, which have never been printed. In October, 1863, I was ordered by General Lee to assemble the Maryland Line, then in separate commands in the Army of Northern Virginia—except the Latrobe Battery, which was with the Army of the Southwest —at Hanover Junction, to guard the five long, high bridges there, over the North Anna, the South Anna, and the Middle river, all within a mile or two of each other, and which were vital for Lee's communication with the Valley, with Richmond, and thence the whole So

f Stuart was a grave calamity. It is a remarkable fact that though it is thirty-eight years since the death of the celebrated Confederate cavalry leader, General Jeb Stuart, never but once has an accurate account of his being wounded appeared in print, and then it was in the Staunton Spectator.

McClellan's book—A History of General Jeb Stuart from Birth to Death—is one of the most accurate works of the Civil war, and should be in the hands of every cavalryman. Having stated the above facts for ount of the imaginary captures and recaptures of a mythical battery, as in the Sun's last article. From the report of Brigadier-General George A.

, especially when that career is all too little known, says the Louisville Courier-Journal. In Alabama, in the vale of Alexandria, September 7, in the year 1838, there was born a babe destined to be Bellona's bridegroom, and write John Pelham across the sky in flaming letters of battle. His was a superb career, but for some reason or other it is scarcely known outside of his native State, and even in that State but for being commingled with fiction the daring deeds and brilliant bravery of Jeb Stuart's boy artillerist would be almost mere tradition when the last Confederate shall have passed away. Indeed, while writers almost innumerable—both historical and penny-a-liners—have, in song and story, traced the career of lesser light of higher rank, they have scarcely mentioned much less eulogized the beardless boy whom General Robert E. Lee, in his report of Fredericksburg, termed the gallant Pelham, thus knighting him upon the field. Of this same youth the London Times, in chronicl

cely replied: Sir, we will not be beaten back. We will give them the bayonet. Bee rushed to his own decimated ranks and rallied them by exclaiming: Look! there stands Jackson like a stone wall! Rally on the Virginians! Let us determine to die here, and we will conquer! Jackson not only stood the shock of the heavy attack made on him, but did give them the bayonet, checked the onward tide of McDowell's victory, and held his position until Kirby Smith and Early came up on the flank. Jeb Stuart made a successful cavalry charge, Johnston and Beauregard had time to hurry up other troops, and a great Confederate victory was snatched from impending disaster. The name which the gallant Bee, about to yield up his noble life, gave Jackson that day, clung to him ever afterwards, and he will be known in history not by the name Thomas Jonathan Jackson, which his parents gave him, but as Stonewall Jackson. And yet the name was a misnomer. Thunderbolt, Tornado or Cyclone would be mo

re he was taken from us. I knew, from his voice, that my interlocutor was the one who had played sheriff in my behalf, by calling for silence, but without pain of imprisonment last night, and I learned that his name was Stuart. That name interested me and led to some inquiries. I knew the Stuarts, of Staunton, and the Hon. A. H. H. Stuart was one of the trustees of the Virginia Female Institute who had invited me to be the first principal of that institution, of which, by the way, Mrs., Jeb. Stuart was, for years, the third. As to his other connections, of whom he spoke of, Mr. William L. Pannill, of Pittsylvania county, had sent two of his daughters to the Home School, in my family, in Richmond, and I had visited him at his home, Chalk Level, where I met his mother-in-law, Mrs. Banks. With these facts, I told him that I had a surprise for him, and that he might know whether or not it was an agreeable one, he must call and see my wife, who was his kinswoman, through the Pann

red to exchange cards, with which I was fortunately provided. I have rarely met a more pleasant fellow than the Yankee Major with whom I negotiated. I had a good deal of conversation with him and the correspondent of the Associated Press, who was of the party. They all offered to send me papers containing an account of the affair. The Yankee Major was a great friend of Major Gen. Stuart, who soon come down to see him, and hailed him very cordially as "Bob," the other in turn calling him "Jeb." Our time was now cut, and both sides withdrew; the men ceased their trading and went to their posts again, left then with the Major, took leave with the salutation of au re There were thirteen hundred and fifty dead Yankees in a two acre field. My horse could not make his way through them. I have seen battle-fields, but never anything to equal this. Our loss in the same quarter was not small. Our artillery was posted on hill, our infantry at the bottom, in entrenchments.
