Third Battery of Maryland Artillery, C. S. A. Its history in brief, and its commanders. Baltimore, October 6, 1894. Since the establishment of a National Military Park at Chattanooga, Tenn., by the Government of the United States, frequent mention has been made of the Maryland commands which took part in the battles of Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge.

A., and the part that battery took in the late war. I would like to give, through the medium of your paper, a correct version of the matter in a few words. The Third Maryland Battery was mustered into the Confederate States service January 14, 1862, at Richmond, Va., and was ordered to Knoxville, East Tennessee, February 4, 1862. Under General E.

J., on the 28th ult., to adopt resolutions relative to the arrest and exile of C. L. Vallandigham. It was a very large assemblage, and composed chiefly of the country people. It met in the "Military Park," and the first scene of the afternoon was a collision with the soldiers, which is thus described: As the delegation pressed onward, with quiet determination, one of the soldiers, who carried a cane, made a rush to seize the banner, amid the yells of his comrades. The man who held it, a sober, quiet, farmer lad in appearance, relinquishing the staff to one of his party, confronted the aggressor, and wresting his stick from his grasp in a single motion, gave him the weight of it across the skull, levelling him to the ground in a twinkling, and opening the scalp some two or three inches in length. The melee became for an instant only general, but
