ced this by the combined wisdom and manhood with which she broke the fetters that an impartial tyranny had placed upon her. Honor to the brave men who did it! When the Southern Confederacy took the attitude of a combatant, it was with sword and shield. She chose to employ the Army of Northern Virginia as the sword of her right hand; while in her left the Western army guarded 1,000 miles of front. If glory gleamed from our flashing falchion in the east at Manassas, and Richmond, and Chancellorsville, and in the Valley, the shield of the west bore all the tests of as high a resolution, and of as noble endurance at Shiloh, and Perryville, and Murfreesboro, and Chickamauga, down to those last days when a remnant under Gibson held Canby and his 40,000 veterans in check at Spanish Fort. If the Army of Northern Virginia was the sword of the Lord and of Gideon—sheathed by the mighty hand of Lee at Appomattox—verily, when the weeping eyes of our women were turned to where you guarded so

t days. How seldom does that name, once on every tongue, mix itself now-a-days, with the current speech of men? Is it not already a fossil name, almost? I must ask you, in order to inspect it again, to lift off sundry superincumbent strata of your recent living memories and interests, to dig down to it. Great is the contrast wrought by the nine calendar years which have intervened since the glory of conquering Jackson, and the sequel Jackson is dead, were blown by fame's trumpet from Chancellorsville over all lands, and thrilled the proecordia in every Southern bosom. Then, the benumbing shock which the words struck into our hearts, taught us how great and heroic this man had made himself, how essential to our cause, how foremost in all our hopes. And when his great Superior said [with a magnanimity which matches Jackson's heroism], Tell him he has lost his left arm; but I have lost my right arm; all men felt, Yea! Lee has lost his right arm; the cause has lost its right arm. An

Price, of Richmond, Va., has recently submitted to my perusal some lnd papers left by her son, Major R.

the mouth of the Lord-hath spoken it. Will ye, or will ye not? Thus was Jackson God's interrogatory to this people, saying to them: Will ye be like him, and be saved? Lo, there! What would a nation of Jacksons be? That may ye be! How righteousness exalteth a people! Shall this judgment and righteousness be the stability of thy times, O Confederate, and strength of thy salvation ? And these mighty deliverances at Manassas, Winchester, Port Republic, Chickahominy, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, were they not manifest overtures to us to have the God of Jackson and Lee for our God, and be saved? Here is the path; walk ye in it. And what said our people? Many honestly answered, Yea, Lord, we will, of whom the larger part walked whither Jackson did, and now lie with him in glory. But another part answered, Nay, and they live on such terms as we see, even such as they elected. To them, also, it was plain that Jackson's truth and justice and devotion to duty were the things

red of Knoxville's best people, assembled to hear General Lee's address on Chancellorsville, and gave him hearty and appreciative applause. We bore away cherished eautiful basket of flowers, the basket being made from willows gathered at Chancellorsville, and was warmly greeted by a daughter of Mr. Chancellor, who was in the bquent utterances of the gallant soldier who came to tell the true story of Chancellorsville. Captain W. R. Lyman, in a few words fitly chosen, introduced as Preside gallant General Nicholls (ex-Governor of the State), who lost his leg at Chancellorsville (and whose maimed form and empty sleeve were on the platform, touching tesr who wore the blue in the late war, but were willing to hear the story of Chancellorsville, told by a gallant, and true Confederate.

acks of the Federal troops For the foe had crossed from the other side That day, in the face of a murderous fire That swept them down in its terrible ire: And their life-blood went to color the tide. The fern on the hill-sides was splashed with blood, And down in the corn where poppies grew, Were redder stains than the poppies knew; And crimson-dyed was the rivers' flood. Murfreesboro and Stone river followed in quick succession. In Virginia the four companies participated at Chancellorsville, and at Gettysburg, Pa., were honored by being chosen to fire the two signal guns that opened the great battle of July 3. In the West came Jackson, Miss., Chickamauga, and Missionary Ridge. In Virginia the battalion was doing brave work. The Russian Field Marshal Suwarrow once sent word to the Austrian Archduke Charles, I know nothing of defensive warfare; I only know how to attack. The Washington Artillery could not say they knew nothing of defensive warfare, but certainly it

e of mail, the following letter: Mendham, New Jersey, March 23d, 1883. To the Publisher of the Southern Hiistorical Society Papers, Richmond, Va. Sir,—I enclose you by this mail a copy of the second edition of my book on Gettysburg and Chancellorsville, in which some inaccuracies which were in the first edition have been corrected. As it was printed—through a misunderstanding—before I had an opportunity to correct it, there are still some typographical errors to be found. I regret thatctly how to account for them. He got them not from official reports, field returns, or other reliable evidence, but from his trusted authority, Camp rumor, and her ally, the Grape-vine telegraph. This being understood. General Doubleday's Chancellorsville and Gettysburg will soon sink into its merited oblivion. But as cumulative evidence of the utter falsity of the slander to which General Doubleday still adheres, we give the following statement of the Rev. Theodore Gerrish, (now pastor of<

2. By arranging for lectures, concerts, or entertainments for the benefit of the Fund. 3. By sending us the names of those who can help us. Remember we want, and by God's blessing mean to have, an endowment of at least $100,000, and a fire-proof building for our archives. What can you do in the premises? General Fitz. Lee has consented to make the address at the meeting of the Confederate Association of Missouri, at Jefferson City, August the 28th, and to repeat his lecture on Chancellorsville, for the benefit of the Southern Historical Society, at such points in Missouri as General Marmaduke may arrange for. Friends in Missouri, or Kentucky, or Arkansas, who desire to have General Lee's lecture, would do well to correspond at once with this office, or with General John S. Marmaduke, St. Louis, Mo. We are hoping for another successful tour with our gallant and accomplished friend, General Fitz. in our Acknowledgement of courtesies in our last number, we inadvertently omitt

a replenished army with a fresh commander, Fighting Joe Hooker, renews the onset by way of Chancellorsville, and finds Lee with two divisions of Longstreet's corps absent in Southeast Virginia. But d while Hooker with the finest army on the planet, as he styled it, is confronting Lee near Chancellorsville, and Early is holding Sedgwick at bay at Fredericksburg, Jackson, who, under Lee's directiosoling reflection that He who fights and runs away Will live to fight another day, for Chancellorsville shines high on the list of Confederate victories, and indeed was one of the grandest victorf old—Stonewall led the way. Soldiers of Manassas, of Richmond, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, of the Wilderness, of Spotsylvania, of Cold Harbor, of Petersburg—scarred and hat his orders to the surgeons of his army were to treat the whole field alike, and when at Chancellorsville, he in person led the tempestuous assault that won the victory, and stood amongst the wound
