victory which Jackson had won had been an accident. And so the staff used to join in with him in deriding the claim of Jackson's friends to his being a great general. But, somehow, Jackson kept on winning victories, so that the staff, one after General Ewell had not gone very far when he discovered that he had left his gauntlets, which he valued very much, in Jackson's tent. Upon returning, he found the flap of the tent down and tied, and heard the voice of Jackson engaged in prayer. series of battles followed with the results so well known by all. Ewell was wounded, but he still held the opinion as to Jackson's natural ability, and there was, therefore, no other way, to his mind, to explain Jackson's success, except, that prayeJackson's success, except, that prayer had power with God, and that this fact carried with it practically all the rest that the New Testament taught; and if this was the case, he was most assuredly on the wrong side, and the quicker he got over to the right side, the better for him, an

labamians, inspired by the lion like bearing of that heroic officer, responded promptly, Yes, General, we will go wherever you lead, and do whatever you say. Bee then said, pointing towards where Jackson and his men were so valiantly battling about a quarter of a mile to the west and left of us, Yonder stands Jackson like a stone wall. Let us go to his assistance. Saying this, he dismounted, placed himself at the left of the Fourth Alabama, and led the regiment (what remained of them) to Jackson's position and joined them on to his right. A charge. Some other reinforcements coming up, a vigorous charge was made, pressing the Federals back. In this charge Bee fell mortally wounded, leading the Fourth Alabama. Bartow fell, not far from the same time and within a stone's throw of the same spot, leading his Georgians. All the world knows how the Federals shortly thereafter were seized with a panic and fled incontinently from the field. The error complained of. It is no

nto trouble by the absence of three stars. Another teamster's Blunder. The wagon train was crossing a stream, and a teamster was belaboring his mules with all his might to keep them from drinking. The General's horse was drinking near by, and General Hill told the teamster to stop beating the mules so unmercifully. The muledriver invited him to attend to his own business, as he himself proposed to do as he pleased with his team. His surprise was as great as McClellan's or Pope's at Jackson's rear movements, when he felt the sharp raps of General Hill's rapier on his back applied with the vigor of an experienced hand. He, too, begged the General's pardon. I would not be understood as intimating that these things occurred by design of the General, or that he purposely moved around incognito. By no means. It was his consideration of comfort that led him to leave off his coat. Nothing else. His apology. When General Miles surrendered at Harper's Ferry, he was dresse

T. J. Jackson. I then opened the coat and examined it more carefully, and found in the inside of the back, in Jackson's own unmistakable handwriting, the name, T. J. Jackson. I carried the coat home, but of course never pretended to use it. The only occasion thereafter on which it was used by any one was when it protected the venerable Commodore George N. Hollins, when he was driven from Charlottesville, by Sheridan's cavalry, in March 1865. The coat remained at Carysbrook until in December, 1867, when my father forwarded it to General R. E. Lee, at Lexington, Va., narrating the circumstances of his havi

e eluded Patterson's army of more than thirty thousand, and hurled his own from the mountains upon McDowell, was the master-stroke of Manassas—Johnston's rear column, under Kirby Smith, coming upon the field, just as Barnard Bee was falling, and Jackson's Stonewall the last Gibraltar. Just when the South Carolina Brigade was hardest pressed, an aide or courier of Bee, meeting Johnston, asked, Where are your Virginians? In the thickest of the fight, was the Spartan answer. It was a victory wod by Johnston was pursued by no worse disaster. While Vicksburg and Port Hudson stood and there was hope that either might be succored Jackson was essential to the manoeuvering army—the key to the position. When they fell the military value of Jackson ended. Nevertheless, Johnston drew up in front of it, inviting an assault, and only when his adversary showed he again intended to resort to the sure course of investment did he withdraw. I believe there is no dispute that Johnston's managemen

tionally, of courses misrepresented the tone and spirit of my publication, and made it mean what the language does not imply. And in order that this may be seen, I feel constrained to quote the passage from Christ in the Camp in full, although I am 10th to do so, as the anecdote proved to be a baseless canard. In speaking of the faithful workers, who preached to the soldiers under the most adverse circumstances, I say: Rev. Dr. R. L. Dabney was a gallant and efficient officer on Jackson's staff, and often preached to the men at headquarters and in their camps and bivouacs as opportunity offered. On this march he preached a very able sermon on Special Providence, and in the course of which he used this emphatic language: Men, you need not be trying to dodge shot, or shell, or minnie. Every one of these strikes just where the Lord permits it to strike, and nowhere else, and you are perfectly safe where the missiles of death fly thickest until Jehovah permits you to be stri
