Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 8. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Explosive or poisoned musket or rifle balls — were they authorized and used by the Confederate States army, or by the United States army during the Civil War?--a slander refuted. (search)
ur people and their Government were incapable, and then magnified the guilt by accusing us of the offences they had committed. . . . . Believe me, ever faithfully yours, Jefferson Davis. General Josiah Gorgas, the Chief of Ordnance of the Confederate States--now of the University of Alabama--writes, under date of July 11th, 1879, that to his knowledge the Confederate States never authorized or used explosive or poisoned rifle balls during the late war. In this statement also General I. M. St. John and General John Ellicott, both of the Ordnance Bureau, Confederate States army, entirely concur. The Adjutant-General of the United States also writes me, under date of August 22d, 1879, as to the Confederate archives now in the possession of the National Government; as follows: In reply to yours of the 18th August, I have the honor to inform you that the Confederate States records in the possession of this Department furnish no evidence that poisoned or explosive musket balls we

Editorial paragraphs. The death of General I. M. St. John, which occurred at the White Sulphur Springs on the 7th of April, removes one of the most gallant and accomplished gentlemen, one of the ablest engineers, and one of the most devoted Confederates, whom we have ever known. Entering our service from the State of Georgia (though a New York man by birth), he distinguished himself in the engineer service, and was afterwards put in charge of the Nitre and Mining Bureau, which he managthe accompanying documents, we published in our number for March, 1877 (volume V, pages 97-111). We deeply regret that his death will deprive us of a paper on the Confededate Nitre and Mining Bureau which he had promised us. Since the war General St. John has pursued his profession of engineering with an ability and success which has given him an enviable reputation both in this country and in Europe. For several years he had been Consulting Engineer on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. He

aptured, to be returned to Colonel Kenly, who, despite the terrible wound he received that day, still survives, for his gallant First Maryland (Federal) regiment. The whole affair seems to have been a splendid success. The monument, which is erected in the Maryland section of Stonewall cemetery is described as being very beautiful and appropriate, and certainly reflects credit on all who had part in devising or executing this tribute to the heroic boys in gray of Maryland. General I. M. St. John was born in Georgia, not in New York, as we erroneously stated in our last issue. His father had been residing in New York for some years, and we were thus led into the error. We have received a very fine photograph of him, taken during the war, and prize it very highly as handing down the features of one of the most loyal Confederates, one of the most accomplished gentlemen, one of the truest friends, and one of the sincerest Christians whom we ever knew.
