summary of what it would be very pleasant to write out fully. Our visit to Savannah is fragrant with many hallowed memories, for, besides the lavish hospitality wty. Captain A. A. Winn, who had been very active in inviting General Lee to Savannah, called a meeting, to arrange for his visit, and at this meeting the followingus, for future publication, some sketches of points of historic interest about Savannah, and we cannot further allude to them now than to say that we were particularl until memory and gratitude are both forgotten, that there shall be lacking in Savannah a welcome to a Lee of that Virginia stock, which gave us the patriot brothersst to-night. Both of these Southern heroes have, each in his own day, visited Savannah, have seen your battery in line, have complimented its personnel and its dextrspecimen of a soldier, who followed the camp from Manassas to Appomattox—visit Savannah on a mission of high purpose and value.

ge P. Harrison, Jr., the Twelfth and Eighteenth Georgia battalions, Lieutenant-Colonel H. D. Capers and Major W. S. Basinger, and a battalion from the First Volunteer regiment of Georgia, were ordered to proceed with the least possible delay to Savannah, there to take cars for Charleston. A private note at the same time brought the intelligence that that city, so long threatened, and indeed, once already assailed by sea, was now to undergo a vigorous and combined attack from both land and nanow it was hushed forever. Modest, simple, and unpretending in his manners, he had won a warm place in the affections of the command, while his perfect reliability under all circumstances enforced the respect and admiration of all who knew him. Savannah was called upon to mourn the loss of many sons in those terrible years, but none of them had taken up arms in her defense sooner, none suffered privation and imprisonment for her more patiently, and none died more gallantly than Claus Werner.

n Light Artillery. Very respectfully, N. M. Hodgkins. The hero of Fredericksburg of whom General Alexander spoke in his admirable paper in our November (1882) number, as carrying water to the wounded of the enemy at the peril of his own life was, of course, Richard Kirkland, of South Carolina, of whom General Kershaw wrote so interesting a sketch. [See Vol. 8, S. H. S. Papers, page 186.] Two unknown heroes of the ranks. Our accomplished friend, Colonel Charles H. Olmstead, of Savannah, has furnished us the following incident which is but one of a thousand similar ones which might be given to illustrate the morale of the men who wore the gray: At the time of General Hood's defeat before Nashville, the brigade to which my regiment belonged, Smith's brigade, Cleburne's division, was detached and operating with General N. B. Forrest in the vicinity of Murfreesboro. Hood's retreat in the direction of Columbia placed the enemy on the direct line between our little force a

e general government. With industrious research Mr. Peyton has gathered the material which his facile pen has woven into an interesting and valuable narrative, which we cordially commend to all lovers of historic truth. Mrs. Derenne, of Savannah, Ga., has placed us under highest obligations for sending us beautiful copies of the rare and very valuable Wormsloe Quartos, and some other books. We had purposed copying from the admirable sketch of Colonel Charles C. Jones, Jr., his notice of these books, his sketch of the distinguished compiler and publisher, Dr. DeRenne, and the correspondence concerning the bronze statute of the Confederate soldier which he presented to the Ladies Memorial Association of Savannah; but our printers warn us that they are full, and we must defer this matter until our next issue. General Early has presented to the Society 600 copies of his able, interesting, and very valuable Memoir of the Last Year of the War for Independence in the Confederate St

f scientific warfare. The wonderful developments of engineering skill, both in the attack and in the defence, will ever mark the siege as a most memorable one, while the share of success attained by each side robs the memory of the event of any sting of mortification for Federal and Confederate alike. Sure am I that every member of the First Georgia who participated in these stirring scenes will, to his latest day, feel his heart throb with pride in saying, I was at Charleston in 1863. Savannah, March, 1879. note.—Referring to the action of Colonel Anderson, related on page 163, it is proper to state that the steamer Alice was sent out from Charleston in conformity to an explicit arrangement that had been entered into by the Commanding Generals for an exchange of wounded on that day. She carried a hospital flag, as well as the ordinary flag of truce. Soon after the firing ceased, she was met by the Federal steamer Cosmopolitan, bearing the Confederate wounded, when the exc

e deep in bloody foam those swiftly succeeding waves of four years of incessant battle; but now the rock itself was wearing away, and still the waves came on. A new enemy was approaching the sturdy devoted band. In September, 1864, Atlanta fell, and through Georgia to the sea, with fire and sword, swept the victorious columns of Sherman. In January, 1865, the head of the column had been turned northward; and in February, Columbia and Charleston shared the fate that had already befallen Savannah. Yes, a new enemy was approaching the Army of Northern Virginia, and this time in the rear. The homes of the soldiers of the Army of Northern Virginia from the Southern States were now in ashes. Wives, mothers and sisters were wanderers under the wintry skies, flying from the invaders who smote and spared not in their relentless march. Is it wonder that hearts that had never quailed before bayonet or blade beat now with tremulous and irrepressible emotion? Is it wonder that, in the wat
