fusion, its gallant commander being killed, the men streaming to the rear, and carrying many men of Battle's left with them. It was now 11 1/2 A. M. Battle having succeeded in rallying his men on Steuart's right, the line resumed the advance, and struck a stout line of Federal infantry in a thicket of pines, skirting the margin of the small opening—once a field. This line being assaulted, fled precipitately, all escaping except the One-hundred and Forty sixth New York—its commander, Colonel Jenkins, Elmira, New York, being killed—which surrendered in a body, and was sent to the rear, all except its color-guard and colors, which was too fleet to be overtaken. The right of Steuart, debouching suddenly into this field — the left still in the brush—discovered two Howitzers, in the act of being taken off, which were quickly captured, together with the Lieutenant commanding the section. This section of a battery was on the near side of the deep and wide washout—as described—w

test and best. His apparent failures to achieve victory only called for a renewal of the struggle with unbroken spirit and purpose. Failure he did not suffer, for his very defeats were victories. To say, as may be justly said, that he was conspicuous among those who have made our history for thirty years is high encomium. During that period the most memorable events of our past have transpired. It recalls besides his own the names and careers of Stephens, Toombs, the Cobbs, Johnson and Jenkins. In what sky has brighter galaxy ever shone? The statesmanship, the oratory, the public and private virtue it exhibits should swell every breast with patriotic pride. In some of the highest qualifications of leadership none of his day surpassed him. He did not seek success by the schemes of hidden caucus or crafty manipulation. He won his triumphs on the arena of open, fair debate before the people. An earnest student of public questions, he boldly proclaimed his conclusions. The powe

Ewell, Provisional Army of the Confederate States, will be formed of Seibel's and Rodes's regiments of Alabama volunteers, and Seymour's regiment of Louisiana volunteers. III.

Jones, Provisional Army Confederate States, commanding. IV. The Fourth Brigade, Colonel G. H. Terrett, Provisioion? Even the fanatical Doubleday, the historian of Gettysburg in the Scribner series, admits that we paid for whatever we took; but complains that we paid for it in Confederate currency—as if we had any other. He tells as a good joke that General Jenkins, while at Chambersburg, having had some horses stolen, called upon the city authorities to pay him their full value. They did so, he says, without a murmur, in Confederate currency. Chancellorsville and Gettysburg Doubleday, page 96.
