neral D. H. Hill's allusion to him in his address, which was published in our May number, might be construed as a censure of his gallant defence of Port Hudson, General Hill calls our attention to the fact that the language he used conveys no censure of either of the gallant officers named, but simply states a historic fact. In reference to General Gardner, General Hill says: There is no one in the South who has a sincerer regard for General Gardner than myself, from what I knew of him in Mexico, where he made at Telegraph Hill the most glorious fight of the war. We have deemed it but just to make this explanation, that a gallant, though unfortunate soldier, may not rest under the shadow of even unintentional censure. We take pleasure in inserting the following, as we esteem it a privilege to do anything in our power to promote the noble object contemplated: Lee monument Association, Richmond, Va., July, 1876.

How coolly and submissively they took it all! How big they are now! The rubbish accumulated by the hope of recognition burdened the soldiers nearly to the end. England was to abolish the blockade and send us immense supplies of fine arms, large and small. France was thinking about landing an imperial force in Mexico, and marching thence to the relief of the South. But the Confederate yell never had an echo in the Marsellaise, or God save the Queen, and Old Dixie was destined to sing her own song without the help even of Maryland, my Maryland. The war with England, which was to give Uncle Sam trouble and the South an ally, never came. Those immense balloons which some body was always inventing, and which were to sail over the enemy's camps dropping whole cargoes of explosives, never tugged at thei
