riendship. He took me into his confidence and talked freely with me about his surroundings, and how he came to remain in the Federal service. He married Miss Gittings, the daughter of the well known banker of Baltimore. He became a citizen of Maryland, and while waiting for his State to secede, he became involved in the Federal service, and found that he could not well leave; and he concluded that as a non-combatant he would probably have opportunities of serving our captured and wounded sold in New York City, and was by far the most eminent surgeon of that city. He frequently came down to David's Island to perform difficult operations on our wounded. His wife, as I understood it at the time, was the daughter of General Morris, of Maryland, and her mother was the daughter of the famous founder and editor of the .Richmond Enquirer, Thomas Ritchie. In passing from New York city through the great States of New York and Ohio to Sandusky, one thing deeply impressed me—the great numb

When the covering fell apart, it disclosed the only peace monument in the South, the crossed banners of the Union and the Confederacy, bearing evidence to the veterans' love of both. After the singing of Tenting on the Old Camp Ground, Colonel Stewart delivered his oration, The Patriotism of Peace. Dixie was then sung, and the report of the Treasurer, Mr. W. B. Lynch, read. The choir then sang Maryland, My Maryland, and the formal presentation of the monument to the Daughters of the Confederacy was made. Mrs. Neely, the President of the Chapter, and the ladies with her accepted the sacred trust by rising. The exercises closed with the singing of America and the benediction by Rev. R. H. Potts. The members of the trained choir which rendered the music are as follows: Mrs. Walker, Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Virnelson, Misses Claudia Old, Elizabeth Old, Reta Renn, Nellie Howell, Sadie Wilkins

First battle of Manassas. Dash and heroism of the Maryland line-stonewall Jackson's flank saved-recollections revived by the 45th anniversary. A paper read before the Isaac R.

, as usual, went off foraging for something good to eat. At about twelve o'clock, I reckon, we were awakened by that very unwelcome, everlasting long roll, and our colonel, mounted on his old sorrel, riding about the men, saying, Hurry up, men! Hurry! Everything depends on being at the ford by daybreak. That word, Hurry! and, Steady, men! steady! were his favorite commands. (Brave and true soldier he was; he ought to have been a general.) It looked then as if we were going back to Maryland. About that time, Leonard Taylor, of Company C, said, Boys, we are going to catch thunder today, for I have been dreaming that we were in the hardest battle yet. His dream came too true, for before sunset on that day, the 17th of September, our regiment, the Thirty-second Virginia, had lost in killed and wounded forty-five per cent. (The poor boy was afterwards killed at Second Cold Harbor.) After a hard march we reached the ford (Boteler's, just below Shepherdstown) at daybreak and cr

s, had wisely utilized the interval to discipline and mobilize the Northern hosts, which had rallied to the Union Standard, into that formidable organization which became famous as the Army of the Potomac, and he was now making preliminary reconnaisances with the view to a combined movement upon the Confederate position near Manassas. The main body of his army was in the defenses of Washington, south of the Potomac, and large Federal forces under Banks, Hamilton and Stone were located in Maryland, opposite the county of Loudoun, within easy march of the fords and ferries of the upper Potomac, which led to roads running to Leesburg. It will thus be seen that Leesburg was a point of prime strategic importance, the possession of which would make McClellan, by menacing or passing Johnston's left flank to manoeuver him out of his position, and this evidently was his aim. Apart from the necessity of guarding his flank and watching the ferries, the Confederate commander realized the i

The Berkeley brothers from the Richmond News-leader, January 21, 1907. Of the Eighth Virginia Regiment, C. S. A. Colonel C. Edmund Berkeley, of Prince William County, Va., spoke at the banquet Saturday night, January 19, 1907, at the Hotel Kernan, of the Society of the Army and Navy of the Confederate States in Maryland, in Baltimore. The Sun tells these interesting facts about the distinguished guest: Colonel Berkeley is one of the most interesting survivors of the Confederacy. He was born February 29, and, while his birthday comes only once in every four years, he will be eighty-three when February 28, 1907, shall have come and gone. On that day the average age of his two brothers and himself will be eighty-one years—a remarkable coincidence. Colonel Berkeley was lieutenant-colonel of the Eighth Virginia Regiment, The Bloody Eighth. His brother, Colonel Norborne Berkeley, who lives with him in Prince William County, was colonel of that regiment. A third brothe
