Lunt says: If this truly eloquent and statesmanlike epistle does not express the views of the Republican managers at the time, it does at least indicate with sufficient clearness their relations towards the Peace conference and the determined purpose of the radicals to have a fight, and it furthermore foreshadows the actual direction given to future events. Held out to the last. But I cannot protract this discussion further. Suffice it to say, that Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas did not secede, until Mr. Lincoln had actually declared war against the seven Cotton and Gulf States, then forming the Southern Confederacy, and called on these four States to furnish their quota of the seventy-five thousand troops called for by him to coerce these States. This act, on Mr. Lincoln's part, was without any real authority of law, and nothing short of the most flagrant usurpation, Congress alone having the power to declare war under the Constitution.

ted writers, was requested to write a poem especially for the occasion; a selection from Father Ryan's beautiful Southern songs, The Sword of Robert Lee, was placed among the numbers on the programme, and tributes to the memory of the South's greatest and best were among other incidents of the evening. Through some delay in receiving his invitation Judge Fenner was unable to be present; but Dr. Palmer was there, and Mrs. Townsend was present; members of the armies of Northern Virginia and Tennessee, and old veterans from the Soldiers' Home thronged Memorial Hall, and some 300 ladies, the great majority Daughters of the Confederacy, were present, filling the hall to the very doors. It was a magnificent gathering, a grand outpouring of Southern chivalry and Southern womanhood, to do honor to him of whom Father Ryan wrote: Forth from its scabbard never hand Wore sword from stain as free, Nor nobler chief led braver band, Nor braver band had cause more grand, Nor cause a chief like Lee

loved to approach him. Still, an official summons to his office struck terror even into the most hardened. A young fellow, whose general record was none too good, was summoned to answer for absence. He stated his excuse, and then, hesitatingly, he added another and another. Stop Mr. ——, said General Lee, one good reason should be sufficient to satisfy an honest mind, with emphasis on the word honest, that spoke volumes. Another, an excellent student, now a distinguished lawyer in Tennessee, was once beguiled into an unexcused absence. The dreaded summons came. With his heart in his boots he entered General Lee's office. The General met him smiling: Mr. M., I am glad to see you are better. But General, I have not been sick. Then I am glad to see you have better news from home. But General, I have had no bad news. Ah, said the General, I took it for granted that nothing less than sickness or distressing news from home could have kept you from your duty. Mr. M. told m

have a long and hard fought war, but I do not believe it. May 6.—I made the acquaintance of General Beauregard this morning. He is decidedly Frenchy in his appearance; a small thin man, slightly gray and very pleasant in conversation. Why he was called here is left a secret to the administration. May 7.—The Virginia delegates who were sworn in to-day have given us more confidence in that State. She is in earnest. In addition to this the good news of the secession of Arkansas and Tennessee have kept the cannon booming all day. If we could only get rid of Lee Walker and Mallory The Secretaries of War and Navy. and the Lord would kill off Governor Letcher and his General Gwynn at Norfolk, I should feel like shouting to-night. I am satisfied that General Scott will make no attack on Virginia. May 10—Would to God that I could infuse some of my restless energy into these executive departments. They move too slowly for me.

The winter of 1863-‘64, with its comparative quiet, had closed, and the Federals and Confederates were concentrating and marshalling their forces for a more vigorous and decisive campaign than had yet marked the history of the war. Virginia and Tennessee were respectively in the East and West, the theatres upon which the opposing banners were unfurled, and it was evident that around these two centres would be collected in hostile array all the strength that either party possessed. Gilmore, wre a point at its junction with the Appomattox from which to operate on the southern communications of Richmond. There was also to be made from the Valley of Virginia a co-operative move against the western communications of Richmond, while in Tennessee and elsewhere in the West, a heavy and continuous aggressive move was to be taken in order to keep reinforcements from Lee.
