, which can be overcome only by finding the inevitable phrase. Weak-winged is song when compared with actual achievement, unless it rush forth from genuine enthusiasm and fine feeling. But the silent, impassive Grant and the quiet, chivalrous Lee have furnished small personal impulse to poetic flight. No cause for regret in this; they need no imperishable literature to prolong their fame to a busy and forgetful posterity. Their deeds are their fittest memorial. The like may be said of Stonewall Jackson, although his picturesque campaigns have been sung in the vivid, rousing stanzas of Palmer's Stonewall Jackson's way. Yet it remains true that fine feeling has usually been touched by the thought of men now overshadowed, of some Zollicoffer, or Ashby, or Pelham. The greatest figure of the war has received a more enduring commemoration. Indeed, Lincoln has inspired the finest imaginative product of the period. Walt Whitman's mystic dirge, When Lilacs last in the Dooryard Bloom'

72 ff. the charge has been the subject of a good deal of controversy, which may be followed in battles and leaders, III, 186 ff. The sun had set; The leaves with dew were wet: Down fell a bloody dusk On the woods, that second of May, Where Stonewall's corps, like a beast of prey, Tore through with angry tusk. ‘They've trapped us, boys!’ Rose from our flank a voice. With a rush of steel and smoke On came the rebels straight, Eager as love and wild as hate; And our line reeled and broke; By the rain. Joseph O'connor. Such is the death the soldier dies The General's death This sylvan scene, as it looked a few months after the death of General George W. Taylor, on August 27, 1862, recalls Pope's Virginia campaign. Stonewall Jackson in a series of forced marches had swept round to the rear of Pope's army, seized the railroad, and then captured the immense depot of supplies at Manassas Station. To meet him, after an all-day's march from near Alexandria on August 26

dull world beneath, Fevered with swift renown; He, with the martyr's amaranthine wreath, Twining the victor's crown! James Ryder Randall. Ashby Turner Ashby of Virginia (1824-1862) distinguished himself as a leader of cavalry under Stonewall Jackson. The English military writer, Colonel Henderson, says of him: Ashby was the beau-ideal of a captain of light-horse. His reckless daring, both across-country and under fire, made him the idol of the army. Nor was his reputation confin in the lists, Hemmed in an ugly gorge. Pope and his Dutchmen, whipped before; ‘Bay'nets and grape!’ hear Stonewall roar; ‘Charge, Stuart! Pay off Ashby's score!’ In ‘Stonewall Jackson's way.’ Ah, Maiden! wait and watch and yearn For news of Stonewall's band. Ah, Widow! read, with eyes that burn, That ring upon thy hand. Ah, Wife! sew on, pray on, hope on; Thy life shall not be all forlorn; The foe had better ne'er been born That gets in ‘Stonewall's way.’ John Williamson Palm

y repulse at Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862. They remained at Falmouth, across the river from Fredericksburg, till Chancellorsville. Its three-years men then went to the 146th New York. In the earnest spirit of Mrs. Howe's poem, the Ninth Vermont Infantry, as pictured vividly below, marches out of Camp in North Carolina, 1863. Its career of only a year has been unusual. It had barely entered active service in 1862 when it was transferred to Harper's Ferry. There it was captured by Stonewall Jackson on September 15, 1862, and was paroled the next day. Its military career was apparently cut short. It was used, however, to guard Confederate prisoners at Camp Douglas, Chicago, until March 28, 1863. In January of that year, it had been declared exchanged and in the fall was at length sent to New Berne, North Carolina, where it was on duty in the Newport Barracks till July, 1864. There it engaged in various expeditions into the vicinity, destroying salt-works and capturing turpe

he week was a set of resolutions offered on March 23d for embodying, arming, and disciplining such a number of men as may be sufficient to put the colony in a posture of defense. This was Henry's opportunity. A past whose memory makes is thrill—the Jamestown church Where Patrick Henry spoke Acceptation The position of Margaret J. Preston, a representative poet of the Confederacy, has already been commented on. The fact that one sister, Elinor Junkin, was the first wife of Stonewall Jackson, and that to another at the close of the war fell the honor of providing a home in Lexington, Virginia, for Robert E. Lee, entitled her to speak here for the South as a whole. The poem appeared in 1866, in Beechenbrook. We do accept thee, heavenly Peace! Albeit thou comest in a guise Unlooked for—undesired, our eyes Welcome through tears the sweet release From war, and woe, and want,—surcease, For which we bless thee, blessed Peace! We lift our foreheads from the dust; And as we <

Joe swore has done the work of thrice a score of years— Ay, more than oath—he swore away mistrust and hate and tears!’ ‘Yes, yes,’ says ‘Phil,’ he was, indeed, a right good worthy foe, And well he knew, in those fierce days, to give us blow for blow. When Joe came round to pay a call—the commissaries said— Full many a swearing, grumbling Yank went supperless to bed: He seemed to have a pesky knack—so Sherman used to say— Of calling, when he should by rights be ninety miles away! ‘Come, Stonewall, put your hand in mine,—Joe's sworn old Samuel's oath— We're never North or South again—he kissed the Book for both!’ John Jerome Rooney. Joe's sworn old Samuel's oath A post-bellum portrait of General Joseph Wheeler has been chosen to appear here as well as of that loyal old Reb, Fitzhugh Lee—in order to illustrate closely the poem. General Joseph Wheeler, a native of Georgia, was a brilliant Confederate cavalry leader in the Civil War. He graduated from
