Richmond, February 27th, 1879. Dr. J. William Jones, Secretary Southern Historical Society:
My Dear Sir — It is but an act of justice that I should state that the communication of Captain Graham Daves in the March number of the Society Papers, meets my cordial approval, and that as far as I can I adopt it as a true and proper addendum to my report of the conflict at Averasboroa.
The efficiency and bravery of the North Carolina battalion in that action has been repeatedly mentioned by me since the war, and I have often regretted that I could not recall the name of its commander, whose gallantry was conspicuous and the subject of commendation by myself and others.
I cannot remember now what reports were sent in to me by subordinate commanders — if in fact any were made — and thus, as I state in the report, the names of many deserving special notice were unhappily omitted.
I do remember well, ho

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.
In March, 1863, when Porter's fleet

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 h

Wilmington, N. C., June 3d, 1879. Rev. J. William Jones, Secretary, Richmond:
My Dear Sir-The June number of the Southern Historical Society Papers, being volume VII, No. 6, of the series, has been placed in my hands by a friend, who called my attention to a paper purporting to be a narrative of Colonel Bratton, Sixth South Carolina regiment, of the operations of his regiment at Williamsburg, May 5th, 1862.
This paper seems to have been written in 1868, and was originally prepared for General E. P. Alexander.
The paper does not confine itself to a narrative of the operations of that regiment, but goes on to describe the action of General J. A. Early's brigade, on the left of our line, in an encounter it had with a brigade of General W. S. Hancock, in the evening of that day, and the author allows himself to criticise the conduct of the officer then in command of the Fifth North Carolina regiment
