Lee now gathered up the most available of his victorious forces and, rusuit and enabled him to cross the Rappahannock.

This was finally done in the Second corps at Chancellorsville, but in the winter of 1862-‘63, there was often found in the same brigade the three kinds of arms above enumerated, rom Richmond in small quantities, and they were of different calibres, but the corps was fully armed when it went to Chancellorsville. After that battle the men all had muskets, calibre .58, and henceforth but one sort of ammunition was needed. O besides, probably, some other odd pieces. I remember a Blakely gun or two and a Whitworth, the latter used both at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. Our batteries had been greatly improved by a number of guns captured from the enemy. We especiallyn barrels, wasted ammunition, of which the lead was the valuable consideration, bayonets, cartridge-boxes, &c.

Given the failures, had General Ewell not been recalled when that panic-stricken army rolled back upon itself, what would have been the effect of five thousand fresh troops attacking it in flank and rear? And may not one venture to ask, why should not that have been the plan? Was it not exactly that which saved us at Chancellorsville? And something like it at Second Manassas? In both instances, with far greater difficulty of accomplishment, and with more to discourage. Far be it from a tyro like me, to presume to criticise Johnston and Beauregard's wisdom. But surely if the latter can tickle his fancy with what would have happened if Jackson or Desaix had been in Ewell's place, or if Ewell had taken upon himself the responsibility of inaugurating that battle without orders, in the face of the fact that the chief

The Stonewall brigade at Chancellorsville. by General William Terry. It has recently come to my knowledge that Captain Landon, in a memorial address at Raleigh, North Carolina, made the statement that in the battle of Chancellorsville, in May, 1863, a certain famous brigade behaved in a most cowardly manner, and refused to advance when ordered to do so. I have no defence to make for that brigade, nor do I know them. Captain Landon did not name the brigade to which he referred, but I am informed that he stated afterwards that he referred to the Stonewall Brigade. This is a total mistake, and does the grossest injustice to as brave a body of men as ever carried a musket. So far as the part taken by that brigade in that engagement is concerned, I am entirely familiar with it, as I commanded the Fourth Virginia infantry, one of its regiments, and therefore know, from personal observation, what I write. I need not go over the history of General Jackson's flank movement and it

ena—with equal resolution and resolve it was lifted from the dust. There was no paltering upon either side with the magnitude of the interests at stake, and the preparations were commensurate with the powers that were to be opposed. Two years of the stubborn trial of strength passed by, and the end seemed as far off as at the beginning. Manassas and Seven Pines, Donelson and Pittsburg, the trial of the Seven Days, and the contest at Antietam, Corinth and Perryville, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville! On these, and on an hundred other battlefields, the insatiate demands of the Moloch of civil war had been met, and still there was no rift to be seen in the cloud that hung as a pall over the homes of the millions of our land. From the sighing forests of Maine to where the tropic tides throb upon our Southern shores, here in the land of Penn, there by the firesides of the home of Washington, where Hudson trod, and where De Soto caught his Eldorado, there in that mighty region whose l

s of a bad cause, must tell with fearful force upou the over-strained energies of the enemy. His campaign in 1864 must, from the exhaustion of his resources, both in men and money, be far less formidable than those of the last two years, when unimpaired means were used with boundless prodigality, and with results which are suggested by the mention of the glorious names of Shiloh and Perryville, and Murfreesboro, and Chickamauga, and the Chickahominy and Manassas, and Fredeicksburg and Chancellorsville. Soldiers! assured success awaits us in our holy struggle for liberty and independence, and for the preservation of all that renders life desirable to honorable men. When that success shall be reached, to you, your country's hope and pride, under Divine Providence, will it be due. The fruits of that success will not be reaped by you alone, but your children and your children's children, in long generations to come, will enjoy blessings derived from you that will preserve your memory
