ficiency of the Medical Department. Surgeon-General Barnes continued in office for nineteen years, carrying out not only the well-devised plans of his predecessors, but others of his own conception. To him was due much of the development of the medical work of the army, the vesting of the control of general hospitals and hospital camps in the Medical Department, the inclusion of medical officers in the brevet commissions given at the end of the war, the development of the great Army Medical Museum and the superb library of the surgeon-general's office, the compilation of the medical and surgical records of the Civil War, and many other movements which redounded to the welfare of the sick, the efficiency of the troops, and the advantage of American military medicine. It fell to his lot to share in the care of two murdered Presidents, he being the first surgeon called to the bedside of Abraham Lincoln and, sixteen years later, summoned to assist in the treatment of James A. Garfield.

David Beatty was the leader of an irregular band of guerrillas working in the Federal cause throughout middle Tennessee. The Confederate officers, to whom they gave constant trouble, refer to them as bushwhackers and tories. especially annoying were Beatty and his men to Captain John M. Hughs, commanding a small detachment from Bragg's Army. Hughs attempted to stop Beatty's marauding expeditions. On September 8, 1863, he attacked Beatty, killin

After the war, he became major-general in 1866, and commanded various departments. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the presidency against Garfield.

He commanded a corps longer than any other one, and his name was never mentioned as having committed in battle a blunder for which he was responsible. He died on Governor's Island, New York, February 9, 1886. Major-General Andrew Atkinson Humphreys (U. S.M. A. 1831） was born in Philadelphia, November 2, 1810. He was closely associate

And we would modestly suggest tnat we know of no more appropriate place for such publications than the Southern Historical Society Papers, and that no better way of vindicating the truth of our history can be devised than by giving these Papers a hearty support. A rebel Major-General as commander of one of the divisions of the procession, at the approaching inauguration of President Garfield, has excited the ire of the Union veterans in Washington, who have resolved not to march in the procession unless the outrage is removed. General W. T. Sherman, chief marshall, appointed the offending marshall (General C. W. Field), and insists upon retaining him, and it remains to be seen what the veterans will do.
