Scribner is certainly among the very best of our monthlies, and it is just to say that is not often marred by such unfair and unjust attacks on our section as Dr. Holland had last year, and for which our Southern papers generally took him so severely to task. The American art review monthly, published by Estes & Lauriat, Boston, has been sent us by the Agent, Henry Fleetwood, 27 North Calvert Street, Baltimore, Maryland. It is admirably gotten up, is illustrated with superb steel engravings, and is a work in which artists and all lovers of art would delight, and which might very appropriately find a place in our libraries, or on our centre tables. This is the second number of the Review, and if its able art criticisms, beautiful engravings, and valuable information about art and artists are to be taken as an earnest of what future numbers are to be, we can most cordially commend it as a valuab

with imposing ceremonies. The Governor of Virginia (Colonel F. W. M. Holliday), whose empty sleeve rendered him especially worthy to grace the occasion, the Confederate States Army and Navy Society of Maryland, the Fifth Maryland regiment from Baltimore, a number of Virginia military companies, and an immense concourse of people, estimated at 15,000, were present. An appropriate address of welcome by Governor Holliday was suitably responded to by Mayor Latrobe, of Baltimore. The orator of Baltimore. The orator of the day was Spencer E. Jones, Esq., of Maryland, who during the war was a gallant private in the Maryland line, and whose oration seems to have given the highest satisfaction to all who heard it. Touching scenes of the occasion were the presentation by Governor Holliday of Mrs. Jackson and her daughter, Miss Julia, to the veterans of the old Stonewall Brigade who were present, and the reception by General B.

n from Hardee at this critical moment, and prevented the renewal of the attack. Of this, and the situation at the point to which Cleburne's division was thus sent, Captain Irving A. Buck, then Cleburne's Adjutant-General, and now residing in Baltimore, writes as follows: Baltimore, Md., March 27th, 1880. Colonel T. B.

I was with him throughout the operations on the 20th July, 1864. Our division, which had been in reserve, was, on the evening of that day, ordered up to replace troops beaten in the first assault, and was formed in a depression facing the wooded ridge occupied by the enemy. The preliminary order for the assault had been given, and Cleburne had selected an officer to send to each

ls can correspond with Dr. Vaughan), and of expressing the hope that all of these scholarships in this excellent school may be promptly filled. A medal of Stonewall Jackson, purporting to have been struck in France during the last year of the war by order of Colonel Charles Lamar, of Georgia, who proposed presenting one to each member of the Foot Cavalry who survived the great chieftain, is being sold for the benefit of the Hood orphan fund by Mr. Mac Pittman. We are under obligations to our friend, Captain Winfield Peters, of Baltimore, for one in a beautiful morocco case with our name and that of the donor upon it. On one side of the silver medal is the head, name, date of birth and date of death, and on the other, entwined in a wreath, is the motto of the Confederacy and the names of the battles in which Stonewall Jackson led his brave legions. While regretting that the likeness is not more accurate, the medal makes a pleasing souvenir which an old soldier would prize.

g he occupied the line of Tunnel Hill, where the division remained on outpost duty until the opening of the campaign in May, 1864. A few days after reaching Tunnel Hill, Cleburne received a flag of truce from General Hooker at Ringgold in regard to exchange of prisoners. Of Cleburne's troops it need only be said that they were worthy of their commander — a man of lofty courage, and pure patriotism, unerring in his military instincts, and quick and resolute in the execution of his plans, which once matured, never miscarried. So uniform was his success, that at length friend and foe alike learned to note the place in the battle of his original blue battle flag, the distinctive mark of Cleburne's division — the only one in the Confederacy allowed to be carried into action other than the national colors. Just one year after his brilliant service at Ringgold, on the fatal field of Franklin, Cleburne died as he had lived--sans peur et sans reproche. Irving A. Buck. Baltimore, Md.

se designs before them the officers at Headquarters agreed on the famous old banner — the red field, the blue cross, and the white stars. The flag was then submitted to the War Department, and was approved. The first flags sent to the army were presented to the troops by General Beauregard in person, he then expressing the hope and confidence that it would become the emblem of honor and of victory. The first three flags received were made from ladies' dresses by the Misses Carey, of Baltimore and Alexandria, at their residences and the residences of friends, as soon as they could get a description of the design adopted. One of the Misses Carey sent the flag she made to General Beauregard. Her sister sent hers to General Van Dorn, who was then at Fairfax Courthouse. Miss Constance Carey, of Alexandria, sent hers to General Joseph E. Johnston. General Beauregard sent the flag he received at once to New Orleans for safe keeping. After the fall of New Orleans, Mrs. Beauregard
