were eaten ravenously by the starving officers, as Lieutenant Peary's men ate their comrades. At last we were ordered back to Fort Delaware. The remnant of the six hundred left that Yankee hell, where Southern braves cried for bread and fed on cats, gorged with the corpses of their dead comrades. We reached Fort Delaware a short time before the surrender. One morning I was aroused by a familiar rebel yell—looked out and saw the flags drooping at half mast and heard that Booth had killed Lincoln. Soon all privates and line officers were paroled, and sixty field officers were held in prison until August. The old brigade, whose regiment furnished Early, William Smith, A. P. Hill, J. P. Walker and J. B. Terrell. In conclusion I will say that some years ago Captain James Bumgardner, of Staunton, who was an officer in the Fifty-second Virginia Regiment, next on the left of the Forty-ninth, told me that his regiment also had only three officers and eighteen men left. Thus and th

Secretary Seward's edict had gone forth that Beall must hang. Mrs. John I. Sittings and Mrs. Basil B. Gordon, of Baltimore, interceded in behalf of the heroic Beall. Numbers of Congressmen signed a petition for Beall's pardon, but President Lincoln turned a deaf ear to all appeals for clemency. Execution; heroic bearing of Captain Beall. So the fatal day, February 24th, 1865, came, and as Captain Beall mounted the platform, General Dix's order was read, denouncing Beall's heroic<

it rightly belongs with this authentic record of the gallant Old Fifteenth Virginia Infantry. A telling one on President Lincoln. In one of the companies, of the Old Fifteenth—I think Company E—there was a tall, stout, robust fellow; a dare—the great battle, there was a grand review of the Federal army which had failed to defeat Marse Robert's veterans. President Lincoln did the reviewing, riding a tall horse—both rider and steed being tall—and all under a very tall silk hat. The Preschests there's the letters U. S. same as yours. This retort courteous, and straight from the shoulder greatly pleased Mr. Lincoln, who never failed to see and enjoy a good joke no matter at whose expense, or whose undoing. The kindly and tactful Lincoln was quick to see such a palpable hit, he knew full well how often the ranks of the Federal Army had been rent, shattered and torn by the captured U.

Lee's army, not Richmond, is your true objective point, Mr Lincoln said. In one of his picturesque dispatches to Hooker, he said: I would not take any risk of being entangled upon the river like an ox jumped half over the fence and liable to be torn by dogs front and rear without a fair chance to gore one wayns with a large amount of ordnance and other stores; on the same day General Hooker ordered a concentration of his army at Manassas, an old field, already having its twice-told told tale, with his own headquarters at Dumfries, on the Potomac. Mr. Lincoln humorously wired Hooker: If the head of Lee's army is at Martinsburg, and the tail of it on the plank road between Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, the animal must be very slim somewhere. Could you not break him? As Lee went north, Hoo
