d yet, when every now and then, God turns out a man of different mould, a man strong enough and independent enough not to be dominated in opinion, or in conscience, or in action, by his associates; and, most of all, when such a man breasts and breaks away from such a current, and, in spite of it, comes out on our side, giving up everything, even life itself, for us—surely, we should be glad to know his story, and to do what honor we may to his memory. The mound that covers James H. Beers is indeed low and humble, yet, where will you dig in earth's surface to find a handful of richer dust? I rejoice that he lies where he does, hard by my dear ones, and where my own body will soon rest; so that, when the resurrection trump shall call us all forth, after running over the roll of my beloved and finding them all present and accounted for, I can turn my eyes to the right and greet the hero whose sacred dust I have guarded all these years.

or-General of the Confederate States Army, and who was born at Fredericksburg, Virginia, May 21, 1822. Drawing his life-springs from lines which have shed lustre on the annals of his native State, and of our common country, he nobly exemplified in his happy and protracted life the worth of his descent. The lessons presented by his dutiful career, and as limned in his delightful Recollections, can but be potent in inspiring posterity. Resolved, 1st. That the death of General Dabney H. Maury is an impressive loss to Virginia, to our country, and to this Society, of which he was one of the earliest and most zealous promoters, and whose interests and objects have been constantly since, first in his affections — as evinced so signally in results as Chairman of its Executive Committee. Resolved, 2d. This Society would express its profound sympathy with the family of General Maury in the poignant loss they have sustained. Robert Stiles, Secretary. Chairman, pro tern. R. A. Brock
