Pettigrew's charge at Gettysburg. By General B. D. Fry.
office of Southern Historical Society, Richmond, Va., December 8th, 1878. General B. D. Fry:
My Dear Fry — Although the battle of Gettysburg has during the year past been very much discussed, no proper exposition has been made of the part which was borne in the final charge by the brigades that day commanded by General Pettigrew.
Swinton and other writers have created the impression that Pickett's division alone reached, in order of attack, the position held by the enemy.
You are the senior surviving brigadier who was with Pettigrew that day, and with you rests the opportunity to vindicate the good name of those troops and the fair fame of Pettigrew, who was one of the most cultivated, accomplished and chivalrous commanders of the Army of Northern Virginia.
I hope, therefore, you will contribute to the records of this Society your narrative of the final charge at Gettysburg.
Sincerely and always your friend, Da

Baltimore, Md., February 27, 1879. Rev. John William Jones, D. D., Secretary Southern Historical Society, Richmond, Va.:
Dear Sir — I give a few items which may serve as a branch link in the great historical chain that is being forged for the future historian.
April 2, 1863, Lieutenant Ritter was ordered to Deer creek, up the Mississippi river, to take command of a section of the Third battery of Maryland artillery, commanded by Lieutenant Bates, of Waddell's Alabama artillery.
This section, with one of Bledsoe's Missouri battery and one of a Louisiana battery, were under the command of Lieutenant Wood, of the Missouri artillery.
These sections were all attached to General Ferguson's brigade, that had been operating along the Mississippi, firing into transports and harassing the enemy in every conceivable manner.

Beauregard's and Hampton's orders on Evacuating Columbia — letter from Colonel A. R. Chisolm.
[The following letter from a gallant officer of General Beauregard's staff seems to settle beyond question the character of the orders given when the Confederates evacuated Columbia.]
New York, March 23, 1879. Rev. J. William Jones, D. D., Secretary Southern Historical Society, Richmond, Va.:
My Dear Sir — I have read in the April number of the Society Papers Colonel James Wood Davidson's communication relative to the burning of Columbia by General Sherman, and it may be a matter of interest in future that I inform you of what took place between Generals Beauregard and Hampton on the evening previous to the evacuation of that city.
As Aid-de-Camp to General Beauregard I was the only officer present with the two Generals.
Beauregard had arrived late in the day from Charleston.
Late in the evening Hampton called on him at the hotel, and after stating the condition of affairs in
