d States army, and the other was Mrs. Bliss, now Mrs. Dandridge, of Winchester. When her father was President of the United States, it was Mrs. Bliss who gracefully extended the hospitalities of the President's house. Quite early in life General Dick Taylor took charge of his father's plantation in Mississippi, and soon afterwards moved to a fine estate in Louisiana, to the development of which he addressed himself until the war of 1861 called him to the field. He married Miss Bringer, of Loess, culminating in the remarkable victories of Mansfield and Pleasant Hill, which are distinguished above all others by the fact that they afford the most conspicuous instance in which a Confederate commander having won a victory followed it up. Taylor having beaten Banks one day at Mansfield, pursued him twenty-three miles next day, encountered his reinforced army at Pleasant Hill, and beat it again. His operations alone in that Department gave the gleams of hope which redeemed the four years

Captain J. A. Judson, who was Assistant Adjutant-General of Hatch's cavalry brigade, made a very fierce attack on General Dick Taylor's statement that he saw breastplates and other protective devices on the persons of Federal soldiers at Middleburg and Winchester, on Jackson's Valley compaign. The gallant Captain waited until after the death of General Taylor to say that he states what he knew to be a deliberate falsehood, and uses other very ugly language concerning General Taylor's narrativGeneral Taylor's narrative, recalling to any fair minded man the old fable about kicking the dead lion.

In a subsequent issue of the Nation, W. S. Symington, of Baltimore, who was Adjutant of the Twenty-first Virginia regiment at the time, testifies that he saw at Middleburg an

Forrest admitted that he was more awed by Dick Taylor's power of will than any man he ever met, or, as he expressed it, I lost my charm when I met Dick Taylor. The consternation of the enemy at his movements can be best appreciated from their telegrams to story of the Mobile campaign. On the 16th of March, 1865, General Dick Taylor held a council of war in West Point, Mississippi, at which wto halt and await orders. This caused a delay of one day, when General Taylor, at Selma, hearing of it, telegraphed orders for the First divi

Late one night, not long since, having concluded reading General Dick Taylor's narrative, entitled Destruction and reconstruction, I laid gap on that memorable march?

nducted him to the point of observation. There had been no change in the picture. I only knew Jackson slightly. I watched him closely as he gazed upon Howard's troops. It was then about 2 P. M. His eyes burned with a brilliant glow, lighting up a sad face. His expression was one of intense interest, his face was colored slightly with the paint of approaching battle, and radiant at the success of his flank movement. Was he happy at the prospect of the delightful excitement --terms, Dick Taylor says, he used to express his pleasure at being under fire? To the remarks made to him while the unconscious line of blue was pointed out, he did not reply once during the five minutes he was on the hill, and yet his lips were moving. From what I have read and heard of Jackson since that day, I know now what he was doing then. Oh! beware of rashness, General Hooker. Stonewall Jackson is praying in full view and in rear of your right flank! While talking to the Great God of Battles,
