General George D. Johnston, of Alabama, we are most happy to announce, has again entered the service of the Society as our General Agent. General Johnston is too well known as a gallant soldier, a genial companion, an accomplished speaker, and a high-toned Christian gentleman, to need any commendation from us. And we are sure that we need not ask our old Confederates that they will help him in his work.

g utensils, tin plates and cups, &c. But before it could be secured and taken off, while their position was being reconnoitered, they opened a brisk fire from a 12-pound battery by Barbour's house, down in the village of Harper's Ferry, and it being thought inexpedient to answer them with artillery, we were obliged to fall back behind the crest of hills. At dark we returned to our camp, two miles and a half from Charlestown. During the night General Jackson received information from General Johnston at Richmond, that a column from McDowell, at Fredericksburg, under Shields, was pressing up from Culpeper by Front Royal to cut him off. Just before, he had received information that Fremont had left Moorefield in Hardy and was marching on Strasburg. In an instant the concert of action between the two Federal Generals became apparent. With Shields at Front Royal the Luray Valley was closed to him. With Fremont at Strasburg the Valley Pike was shut, and with it his only other sure road

ed speakers. Hon. Jefferson Davis, leaning on the arm of Governor Francis T. Nicholls, followed by Rev. Dr. B. M. Palmer, Rev. Dr. Meyer Gutheim, aud General George D. Johnston, and Judge Walters H. Rogers, first marched upon the stage by a side entrance and as soon as the venerable ex-President of the Southern Confederacy made a magnificent floral tribute, which he gracefully received amid the tumultuous applause of the crowd. Then followed addresses by Rev. J. K. Gutheim, General George D. Johnston, and Rev. Dr. B. M. Palmer, which were in the happiest vein of these distinguished orators, and which we had purposed publishing in this number, but thantion, who contributed in various ways to the success of this grand meeting. We need scarcely add, that our accomplished and efficient General Agent, General George D. Johnston, deserves high praise for the untiring energy and wise tact with which he arranged for the meeting, and is following up the interest awakened in the gre

Editorial paragraphs. Gen. Geo. D. Johnston, our indefatigable General Agent, is now following up in New Orleans the interest excited by the great meeting of the 25th of April, and is having marked success in enrolling new names and re-enlisting old friends. From New Orleans he expects to go to Texas, and we trust that he will meet with a cordial welcome and active help in that great State. An endowment fund, which can be permanently invested and only the income used for the current wants of the Society, is a long-felt need of our work. In the meeting at New Orleans General Johnston proposed that at least $50,000 be raised for this purpose. Dr. Palmer eloquently endorsed the proposition, and it seemed to meet general favor. Let the scheme be pushed to practical results. Where is the friend who will give us at once $10,000, or $5,000, or less? Where are those who will contribute smaller sums? Do not wait to be specially called on, but let us hear from you at once.

Ladies and Gentlemen:--You have just heard from the lips of General Johnston the objects of this Society, and you have heard of the necessity of an endowment of only $50,000.

ges some of the gems produced — notably a poem by Miss Marr, of Warrenton, Va., sister of the lamented Captain Marr who fell in the first skirmish at Fairfax Courthouse — and some extracts from General Fitz Lee's oration at Hollywood. Renewals are always in order, and especially so on the part of those to whom we have been sending the papers all of the year (this making six numbers) without payment. We need not remind any such that we need their renewals, and that the indulgence we have granted them only strengthens our claim. Life Memberships were never more desired than now, and our friends who have been talking of becoming Life Members will greatly oblige us by sending the fee ($50.00) at this time. General George D. Johnston, who has been making for us so successful a canvass in New Orleans, proposes to go soon to Texas, where we doubt not he will have a cordial greeting from old comrades and meet hearty sympathy and active help in his great work for the Society

V., etc. We have received from the publishers (Charles Scribner's Sons), through West & Johnston, Richmond, these two volumes, which constitute 8 and 9 of the uniform series they are bringing out. Reserving them for future review by some competent hand, we can only say now that these volumes should have a place in our libraries as giving the Federal side of the story, told by active participants. But each successive volume only gives renewed emphasis to our previously expressed opinion that if the Messrs. Scribner really desire to publish valuable material for the future historian, then they must bring

of our guns. About 5 P. M. General Early had a pretty sharp skirmish with the enemy's infantry and artillery near Kearnstown — Gordon's brigade, supported by Hays, driving them at a run as far as Milltown Mills. Here Early, coming within reach of the enemy's fortifications, halted for the night. Before morning the enemy withdrew all their artillery into their fortifications from Bower's Hill and the south and east sides of the town. On examining the enemy's fortifications from General Johnston's position, I found they had put up works on the hills I had intended gaining possession of, and were busy strengthening them. Having reconnoitered with General Early from Bower's Hill, I coincided with his views as to the best point of attack, and directed him to move his main force to the left and carry by assault a small open work on a commanding hill near the Pughtown road, which overlooked the main fort. About 11 A. M., finding there was no danger of a sortie, and seeing the enem

al A. M. Scales, of North Carolina, who has selected as his theme, The battle of Fredericksburg. This subject, in the hands of the gallant and accomplished soldier who helped to win that great victory, cannot fail to be of rare interest and historic value. The annual meeting of the Southern Historical Society will take place on the evening of Friday, November 3rd. We hope to have a large attendance to hear a most encouraging annual report, and take part in the meeting. General Geo. D. Johnston, our efficient General Agent, has been for several months laid aside from his work by his old enemy, Hay fever ; but we are glad to be able to announce that he is now recovering, and expects soon to go to work for us in the great State of Texas. We are sure that he will find in the Lone Star State, a cordial reception, and will meet with hearty co-operation in promoting our great work. Renewals are still in order, especially on the part of those who have been receiving the Pa

h three hearty cheers, they promptly formed in line. This I understood was Jackson's left, on which, as ordered, I formed my men; the three companies which had joined me, as heretofore stated, having been detached, as far as I can learn, by General Johnston and placed under the command of Colonel F. J. Thomas of his staff, who was unfortunately killed. I have recently visited the spot where he fell. From the time I reported to General Beauregard to the time I took my position on the left, we d with which General Beauregard was honored, had, I have reason to believe, a very happy effect on our troops and a very depressing one on those of the enemy, being regarded by him as the indications of frequent and heavy reinforcements from General Johnston's army. At least the letters of the Federal correspondents, which were spread all over the country and were, as I have heard, republished in Europe, so stated; while I know that the entire force represented by those cheers did not exceed 45
