nowledge of him that if I ever came in contact with an humble, earnest child of God, it was this thunderbolt of war, who followed with child-like faith the Captain of our Salvation, and who humbly laid at the foot of the cross all of his ambitions and honors. Having lived such a life the logical result was the glorious death which has been so fully described by Dr. Dabney, Dr. Hunter Mc-Guire and others. His glorious death. Stonewall Jackson died as he lived — an humble, trusting Christian. Nay! he did not die. The weary, worn marcher simply crossed over the river and rested under the shade of the trees. The battle-scarred warrior fought his last battle, won his last victory, and went to wear his bright crown of rejoicing, his fadeless laurels of honor, to receive from earth and from Heaven the plaudit: Servant of God well done, Rest from Thy loved employ; The battle's fought, the victory's won; Enter thy Master's joy.

Generals Lee and long. Tributes to their memory. At the annual meeting of the Association of the Army of Northern Virginia, held on the 27th day of October, 1891, on motion of Judge George L. Christian, a committee of three was appointed to prepare resolutions to the memory of General William H. F. Lee, who died October 15, 1891. The committee, after retirement, reported the following The Virginia division of the Association of the Army of Northern Virginia cannot hold this firste spread on our minutes and published, and that a copy be forwarded to the family of General Lee with the assurance of our deepest sympathies in their and our common bereavement.

ich he thought necessary to the proper performance of his office. I said to General Jackson that I was very sorry to give up Father——; that he was one of the most useful chaplains in the service. He replied: If that is the case he shall have a tent. And so far as I know this Roman Catholic priest was the only man in the corps who had one. In my opinion those people who have made General Jackson a narrow-minded, bigoted Presbyterian have belittled him. He was a true Presbyterian and Christian, but not a narrow one. I remember one night he was in my tent very near Charleston, W. Va. It was a bitter cold, snowy night and he was sitting by the fire that I had made. He said to me: I would not give one-thousandth part of my chances for Heaven for all the earthly reputation I have or can make. Relations with Mr. Davis. Was Jackson intimate with President Davis? When did you see him for the first time? queried the scribe. The first time General Jackson ever saw Presid

rd Lee. The banquet. After the public demonstration the orator of the night, with invited guests, repaired to the Kimball House, where a magnificent banquet was enjoyed. Among those who sat around the table were many of the most distinguished citizens and officials of Georgia. The president of the society acted as toast-master, to the satisfaction of all. The toasts and responses were as follows: 1. The Memory of Robert E. Lee—soldier, patriot, stainless gentleman and humble Christian—the model man of the centuries. Drank standing and in silence. 2. The orator of the day, who followed the feather of Ashby, rode with Stuart and Hampton, and has brought us an elegant tribute to our great chieftain. Hon. Charles T. O'Ferrall. 3. The Virginia Society. Loyal and true to our adopted home, we turn with untrammelled hearts to our dear old mother. Vicar-General Benjamin J. Keiley. 4. Virginia and Georgia.
