— the iron-clad ships of the enemy were on a trial-test, that was destined to affect most seriously, the fortunes of the war; and they went to their work and stuck to it, with as much resolution, as if ten thousand of the foe were arrayed in open field before them. They whipped the fight, and taught the world a lesson in war, which was unknown to it before, and indeed, regarded as impossible. Let every confederate soldier take courage from the glorious achievements of the noble Georgians at Genesis Point. The last forlorn hope of the enemy has been driven back, leaving to invent new plans to overawe and subdue the South. Of Fort McAllister itself, and its builders, we should say a word before closing. It is a monument to the professional skill and personal energy of Captain McCrady, the engineer-in-chief of the department; and to him and his no less energetic assistant, Captain James A. McAllister, the executor of the plans, is due a large share of the honors won on the day.

in obtaining and despatching the troops for the attack on Sumter and defence of the batteries; Quartermaster's and Commissary-General's Departments, Colonels Hatch and Walker; and the Ordnance Board, especially Colonel Manigault, Chief of Ordnance, whose zeal and activity were untiring; the Medical Department, whose preparations had been judiciously and amply made, but which a kind Providence rendered unnecessary; the Engineers, Majors Whiting and Gwynn, Captains Trapiers and Lee, and Lieutenants McCrady, Earle, and Gregorie—on whom too much praise cannot be bestowed for their untiring zeal, energy, and gallantry, and to whose labors is greatly due the unprecedented example of taking such an important work, after thirty-three hours firing, without having to report the loss of a single life, and but four persons slightly wounded; from Major W. II. C. Whiting I derived also much assistance, not only as an engineer, in selecting the sites and laying out the channel batteries on Morris I

General Johnston and others will show how actively engaged he was in preparing troops for the front, and how, as usual, he was alive to the minutest necessity of the situation: 1. Raleigh, N. C., March 27th, 1865. Colonel Alfd. Roman, A. A. G., etc., Augusta, Ga.: Send unarmed troops as rapidly as possible, properly organized. Subsistence will be collected, as soon as practicable, at Newberry or Alston, on Broad River. Thence troops must march to Blackstocks or Winnsboroa.

ops in the State of South Carolina is twenty-five thousand. Adding fifty per cent for emergencies, and three thousand negroes, you will be enabled to make a proper estimate. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Jno. M. Otey, A. A. G. Report of Major D. B. Harris, Chief-Engineer, of the gunboat attack on Fort McAllister, Georgia, March 3d, 1863. Savannah, Ga, March 9th, 1863. Brig.-Genl. Thomas Jordan, Chief of Staff: General,—In compliance with my instructions Captain (John) McCrady has made a report in detail of the engagement of the enemy with the battery at Genesis Point (Fort McAllister), on the 3d instant, which I have the honor to hand you herewith. This interesting report is based chiefly upon information furnished by Assistant-Engineer J. W. McAlpin, to whose admirable conduct on this and previous attacks upon Fort McAllister I respectfully invite the attention of the General Commanding. I have visited the battery since the engagement, and found it in good

La.: Sir—Herewith I send you some pamphlets relating to late war. The rolls of companies from this State have never been completed, some forty not having yet come in, as per report of 1886. The number estimated to have been furnished by this State is about sixty thousand, of whom it is believed, from careful estimates, some twelve thousand were killed or died. The rolls received have mainly been made from memory, hence are far from being correct, though some are fairly so. General McCrady has kindly furnished the four pamphlets. I am very sorry I cannot give you more reliable data. It is very doubtful if legislature will ever have the rolls obtained put in book-form. Very respectfully, M. L. Bonham, Jr., A. and . General. Jno. Scofin, Assistant. State of Tennessee. [Dictated.] Executive office, Nashville, Tenn., April 22, 1890. Hon. Joseph Jones, Surgeon-General, etc., 156 Washington ave., New Orleans. dear Sir—In response to the request of your lett

lluded to the doctrines of the leading secessionists in this body. --The people of Virginia were a moral and a law-abiding people, and before they would endorse the doctrine they must be convinced of the morality and the legality of the act. Mr. Calhoun never held to such a right — he said in the Senate that its exercise would be a breach of the compact — a violation of faith. The Supreme Court of South Carolina had also denied the legality and constitutionality of the right in the case of McCrady. The Legislature of South Carolina in 1828, in a provision said to have been written by Mr. Calhoun, also held the same doctrine. The Constitution itself, which provides a method for its own amendment, plainly shows the absurdity of the right of secession. Virginia was called upon to say to the Government-- you must not enforce your laws in this or that State, but you must enforce them in others; that you must collect your revenues in New York, but must not collect them in South Carolina
