Confederacy, and gives avery valuable statement of the relative numbers and resources of the North and the South. His account of the Fort Donelson campaign and of the battle of Shiloh seems fuller and more accurate than any that has yet appeared. Indeed, the book is a very valuable contribution to the history of the first year of the Confederacy. It is a proud legacy of devoted patriotism, chivalric daring, stainless character and noble example which Johnston and Lee, and Jackson, and Stuart, and Polk, and Hill, and Ewell, and others of our fallen chieftains, have bequeathed to the people of the South, and this charming tribute of an accomplished son to a noble father will write the name of Sidney Johnston even higher on the scroll of fame than the popular verdict had placed it. It is a high compliment to our talented sculptor, Edward Valentine, that the beautiful engraving which adorns the frontispiece was made from his superb bust of General Johnston, which the family prono

ird line when fresh troops were required.--J. A. E. We were now within about half a mile of the open fields near Chancellorsville, where the enemy was supposed to be strongly entrenched. While this change was being made, General Jackson manifested great impatience to get Hill's troops into line and ready to move as promply as possible; and to this end, sent every member of his staff with orders to General Hill and other general officers to hurry up the movement. From the orders sent to General Stuart, it was evident that his intention was to storm the enemy's works at Chancellorsville as soon as the lines were formed and before the enemy had recovered from the shock and confusion of the previous fighting, and to place the left of his army between Hooker and the river. While the orders were being issued, General Jackson sat on his horse just in front of the line, on the pike. From this point he sent me with an order to General Hill.

The Army of Northern Virginia--They marched throa long and stormy nights, They bore the brunt of an hundred fights, And their courage never failed; Hunger and cold and the summer's heat They felt on the march and long retreat, Yet their brave hearts never quailed. General Joseph E. Johnston was to have responded, but was unavoidably absent. 2. The Cavalry--Their representative, General J. E. B. Stuart. The daughters of his loved Virginia keep green the hero's grave. May her sons imitate his example and emulate his virtues. Many a tale of triumph won Shalt breath his name in memory's ear; Long will Virginia mourn a son Without reproach or fear. Captain E. A. Goggin. 3. The Artillery--Aha! A song for the bugle's tongue, For the bugle to sing before us, When our gleaming guns, like clarions, Shall thunder the battle-chorus! Judge William I. Clopton. 4. The Infantry--
