But, while I have pen in hand, let me say a word on a more important subject. I cannot refrain from expressing my regret that this interesting book—deserving and destined to be widely read—conveys an inadequate estimatSorrel might have judged more generously the commander of a victorious division at Seven Pines, the stout fighter of the seven days before Richmond, the heroic leader of the rear guard at South Mountain, the stubborn soldier who stood at bay at Sharpsburg. But history will some day give an impartial verdict on these matters. In that final judgment Hill's just fame will perhaps not suffer from his faults of manner or asperities of speech. I am very respectfully, your obedient servant, Archer

One of the Gamest of modern fights. From the times-dispatch, December 10th, 1905. No equal area of the American continent so drenched in blood. Sharpsburg or Antietam. Fifteenth Virginia, of Semmes' brigade, McLaws' division, at the crisis. In many a nook and cranny of Virginia, far from the madding crowd, son, of the 15th Virginia Infantry, who now resides at Smithfield, in the Isle of Wight county, and who is yet busy with his tasks. The 15th Virginia lost at Sharpsburg 58 per cent. of its men, which is 23 per cent. more than the Light Cavalry Brigade of the English army, lost in the world-heralded Battle of Balaklava. Our fols write poems in honor of the Light Brigade and our schoolboys declaim Tennyson's verses; but what do we know of our own boys who stood proof on this red day at Sharpsburg? Fourteen officers and one hundred and fourteen men of the Fifteenth Virginia were in that fight, of whom one officer was killed (Captain A. V. England) and

y after day, but I do not remember that any of them were forced until two or three days before Sharpsburg. We reached the battlefield of second Manassas two days after the fight and marched by heaps -quick. The road wound around the base of a hill. We clear the base of the hill. Behold Sharpsburg. Behold Sharpsburg, now the historical, as the Federals put it, the Antietam battlefield. Sharpsburg, now the historical, as the Federals put it, the Antietam battlefield. Up to that moment I do not believe we knew the battle was on in our immediate front. The field that we fought over was enclosed by a chestnut rail fence, and near its corner a gate, and near the gateeral contributions made to the gallant Parker Battery, which distinguished itself in the great Sharpsburg fight. The intrepid first commander of the heroic battery, Major W. W. Parker, before Captainields it fought on were enriched with the brave young blood of its heroes. The Boy Battery at Sharpsburg and the Lexington cadets at New Market should stand as prominent in the annals of our Civil Wa

Crisis at Sharpsburg. Comparison of losses there with those of other great battles, General Carman has said of this battle, in an address delivered on the this meets his eye, will he please let me know exactly how it was. Some Sharpsburg incidents. Several months after the memorable battle, when I was nicely reds, a comrade related to me three incidents that came under his experience at Sharpsburg. I think them entirely relevant and worthy of space in this sketch since theous damage, causing us to postpone the meal on fried apples, in the mode a la Sharpsburg. One way of stopping a Rebel yell. In a headlong charge, all going at all a good and staying fighter, but minus the full notes of that lusty yell at Sharpsburg. A hasty meal on apple butter. In a few moments after a hot mix-up when in judgment prompts the writer to relate an additional incident of memorable Sharpsburg. However, he makes bold to assert that it rightly belongs with this authenti

nd backed by great States, populous and rich, came out to try conclusions with him. They were George B. McClellan, John Pope, Ambrose Burnside, Joseph Hooker, George Meade, and Ulysses Grant, before whose almost unlimited numbers, at last, the Army of Northern Virginia, without reinforcement, without ammunition and without supplies, fought itself down to nothing. Another answer might be the battles he fought on the Chickahominy, and in the defence of Richmond; of the Second Manassas, of Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, and again on the Chickahominy, and the defence of Petersburg. Across these fields are written imperishably the generalship of Lee—in all the detail of preparation, in the skilful choice of topographical lines, in strategic movement, in the audacity of perilous advance, in knowledge of the capacity of his own officers and their troops, in fine perception of the enemy's thought and movement, and in masterly overcoming difficulti
