is no wonder that Gen. Lee made a very unpopular and just remark: that the volunteer spirit of the country should be in a measure checked and moderated, and that he threw cold water on a rabble who hurrahed him at a railroad station, by telling them they had better go home. Gen. Lee's first task was to organize and equip the military forces that were from every direction flowing in upon his charge. The military council at the State House, Richmond, consisting of Governor Letcher, Lieut.-Gov. Montague, Lieut. M. F. Maury, of the Navy, Gen. Lee and others, was in almost constant session. The raw material promptly brought forward was to be effected for speedy service. The quartermaster and commissary departments were to be organized, to enable the immediate concentration of troops upon the borders of the State, wherever the movements of the enemy might demand the presence of troops. In fact, Gen. Lee had now all the duties of a minister of war to discharge, in addition to those mo

wrote with great friendliness and confidence, both from England and during his visits to the United States; and with praiseworthy intent, but without success, undertook, as a mutual friend, to bring about a good understanding between Sumner and a well-known Boston lawyer,—a conservative of the hardest type, sincerely hostile to the antislavery and all liberal causes, who was all the more antipathetic to Sumner personally because of the good offices he and his family had received from hi. Mrs. Montague kept up the same motherly interest she had conceived for him when they first met. Eight years after he left England she sent her benediction as follows:— I am very thankful for your kind recollection of us, thankful that we have such a friend, and still more that the age has so true a philosopher and so good a man. You have shown what true glory is, in your admirable lecture; and hard must that heart have been which remained untouched and unimproved by your labor of love. . . . I m

un Campaign. As part of Eustis' Brigade, Getty's Division, it was active at the Wilderness, losing heavily on May 6, 1864; was closely engaged at the Angle at Spotsylvania Court House May 12; shared in the movements to North Anna and Cold Harbor, and reached Petersburg June 17, taking part in the charge of the next day. In June the re-enlisted men of the 7th and 10th Mass. Infantries were attached to the regiment, and July 6, by the reorganization of the division, it became under Lieutenant-Colonel Montague part of the 3d Brigade, with Colonel Edwards as brigade commander. Forming part of the forces sent to protect Washington against the advance of General Early, it reached the city July 12, and went into action immediately at Fort Stevens. It took part in the operations against Early in the Shenandoah Valley, suffering loss at Charlestown August 21, and losing more heavily at the Opequon September 19, after which it was stationed as provost guard at Winchester.

Captain Bridgers, of Company A, First North Carolina regiment, took post in the dense woods beyond and to the left of the road. Major Montague, with three companies of his battalion, was ordered up from the rear, and took post on our right, beginning at the church and extending along the entire front on that side. This fine body of men and the gallant command of Lieutent-Colonel Stcept under cover of woods, fences or paling. Under cover of the trees he moved a strong column to an old ford, some three-quarters of a mile below, where I had placed a picket of some forty men. Colonel Magruder sent Captain Werth's company, of Montague's command, with one howitzer, under Sergeant Crane, to drive back this column, which was done with a single shot from the howitzer. Before this a priming wire had been broken in the vent of the howitzer commanded by Captain Brown, and rendered
