ilroad. These two men were coming back from their independent exploring expedition, when General Hill and his sergeant of courier, George W. Tucker (formerly of Baltimore, now of Frederick county, Md.), came up with them. Mr. Tucker, in the November (1883) number of the Southern Historical Papers, gave a very interesting, and no his best days bore but little resemblance to the two men just described. In his youth he was surrounded by an entirely different environment. He is a native of Baltimore and enjoyed the educational advantages that belong to a large city. Of handsome person and soldierly bearing, it is not surprising that he was soon taken from tconfidential messengers, and was often entrusted with special duty regarded as particularly delicate and dangerous. At the close of the war Tucker returned to Baltimore and for a number of years was a salesman for the large wholesale house of William T. Walters & Co. Of late years he has resided, for the most part, in New Jersey

and was selected by Lincoln himself (see McClure's Lincoln, &c., page 46), as the one protector to accompany and guard him from the assassination that he apprehended so causelessly (Lamon's Life, &c., page 513), in his midnight passage through Baltimore to his first inauguration. He was made a United States Marshal of the district, in order (McClure's Lincoln, &c., page 67) that Lincoln might have him always at hand. Though Lamon recognizes and sets forth with great clearness (page 181), hiand was, till he became candidate for the presidency, a frequent scoffer at religion, and in the habit of using his good gifts to attack its truths, and that he was author of a paper, the purpose of which was to attack the fundamental truths of religion, and that he never denied or retracted those views.

The thing began at daylight and kept up till dark, when, flanked and worn out, Early retreated to escape being surrounded. This is the story of the Thin Gray Line of North Carolina and the cavalry charge—a feat of arms before which that of Sir Colin Campbell's Highlander's fades into insignificance. Bradley T. Johnson, of Maryland, Brigadier-General Confederate States Army. Baltimore, Md. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Some time ago there was published in the Winston-Salem Sentinel, and copied in the Dispatch, a very interesting article called The Tarheels' Thin Gray Line, by General Bradley T. Johnson, describing an incident of the Valley campaign of 1864. The article, as published in the Sentinel and Dispatch, contained a serious typographical error. The sentence, There were 45,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry and 3,000 mounted gunmen, should read, There were 45,000

ttend any Campfire, and get some of the men around to talk about the old times; old eyes will kindle into flashing fire, old forms, bent with age, straighten up, as first one and then another tells of the charge on such and such a battery, or a stand made behind such a fence, or how such and such a battery—as, for instance, the First Company of Howitzers at Chancellorsville—held the entire right wing of the Union army at bay for a whole day without infantry support, as Rev. Willam Dame, of Baltimore, will tell him; or get Major Robert Stiles to repeat his lecture on the Second Battle of Cold Harbor, where in eight minutes 13,000 of Grant's splendid army were killed and wounded by the ragged rebels; and the youth, if he has any manhood in him, and is not simply a second-class cigarette smoker, will become convinced that the old man is not far wrong in claiming a right to talk, and that there were giants in those days. Possibly, therefore, he will listen more respectfully and with mo

to care for his wounded comrades. He remained with the wounded and sick until most of them were sent North, chiefly to Chester, Pa. Dr. Gaines was sent to Chester, and had charge of the ward of the Confederate sick and wounded until they were sent to Point Lookout. Dr. Gaines was sent to Fort Delaware, and finally to Point Lookout, where he was allowed to attend a ward filled with sick and wounded Confederates. About December 12, 1863, he was sent to Washington and Fort Monroe by way of Baltimore, and was exchanged. The rolls sent the Governor are the original copies, and were recently found by Dr. Gaines in his library at Hagerstown. He is a native of Virginia, having been born at Locust Hill, near Culpeper. He is very anxious that the Governor make such disposition of the rolls as will insure their preservation to posterity. The list has never been published, and the Dispatch presents it below. It will be read with interest, not only by the men who took part in the great

e of the Confederate States, each State acting in its sovereign and independent character, in order to form a permanent Federal Government. Article I, section 1, Constitution of the United States: All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a congress, &c., was changed, All legislative powers herein delegated shall be vested in a congress, &c. The two constitutions, in parallel columns, are printed as an appendix to my Memoir of Joseph E. Johnston, R. H. Woodward & Co., Baltimore, 1891, and the alterations of the Constitution of the United States are shown in that of the Confederate States in italics, and I assert here that every amendment was an improvement on the original instrument. The Confederate statesmen, who then included the leading minds in America, did not propose any change in the government, and they only amended the old Constitution so as to make it conform to the construction which they put upon it, and which was consistent with the origin and histo

rsifer Smith. General Taylor was then winning his victories in Mexico. Excitement in the country was at a high point. This was especially true among the cadets, and Lieutenant Maury was delighted with the prospect of fighting. He sailed from Baltimore on the trig Soldana, with a squadron of the Mounted Rifles on board, under Captain Stevens Mason. Rough weather was encountered, the vessel was unseaworthy, and it was the thirty-second day after leaving Baltimore before Point Isabel was reachBaltimore before Point Isabel was reached, long after the transport had been reported lost with all on board. The squadron was marched overland to Monterey, where it entered the command of General Zachary Taylor, who had just captured the city. Lieutenant Thomas J. Jackson had charge of the siege pieces, which the Rifles escorted from Point Isabel to Monterey. The Mounted Rifles were soon detached from General Taylor's command and sent to join the army of General Scott, who was preparing to attack Vera Cruz. Lieutenant Maury t

hat General Maury set on foot a plan for the systematic collection of Southern war records, which resulted in the formation of the Southern Historical Society. In August, 1873, at a convention held at the White Sulphur Springs, the domicile of the society was removed to the Capitol at Richmond, and General Maury was made Chairman of the Executive Committee. National guard Association. During the contest of Tilden and Hayes for the presidency, and soon after the great labor riots in Baltimore and Pittsburg, General Maury called a meeting in Richmond for the purpose of taking steps to improve the militia of the State. At this meeting the coopera-tion of other States was invited. Many accepted, and the National Guard Association of America was formed as a result. A further result was the securing from Congress of a small annual appropriation for the purpose of arming the State military. General Maury always said this meeting aroused such vital interest in the subject in every

McClure (page 207) is one; Holland (page 53, et seq.) is another; and John Codman Ropes declares it, in his Story of the Civil War, Part II (page 16), and reaffirms his belief on more than one other page. McClellan, in his celebrated dispatch after his retreat, reproached Stanton with this atrocious crime, and so worded the dispatch that he imputed the same guilt to Lincoln. McClure, in his Lincoln, etc. (page 202), and Nicolay and Hay, in their Abraham Lincoln (pages 441, 442 and 451), deplore that McClellan should have believed Lincoln capable of it, both conceding to McClellan the most exalted character, ability and patriotism.
