which there were a number of good speeches in response to appropriate toasts. General George D. Johnston, our able and efficient General Agent, came down from Austin to be with us, and made an eloquent response to a toast to the Army of Tennessee. We bade a reluctant farewell to our friends of the committees who had provide to the vindication of the name and fame of our Confederate soldiers and people. We regretted that we could not linger longer among our warm hearted friends at Austin, but early the next morning we had to bid them adieu and take the cars for Waco. We arrived in the rain at this pretty and thriving city, and as we had only and escorted us to very comfortable quarters at the Pacific Hotel, and showed us every necessary attention.

The day was most pleasantly spent receiving calls from prominent citizens, driving around the city, inspecting the beautiful model farm of Mr. Dickerson, viewing the ground over which Longstreet's brave men made their fruitless charge, and visiting other points of interest in thi

We bore away cherished eautiful basket of flowers, the basket being made from willows gathered at Chancellorsville, and was warmly greeted by a daughter of Mr. Chancellor, who was in the bquent utterances of the gallant soldier who came to tell the true story of Chancellorsville. Captain W. R. Lyman, in a few words fitly chosen, introduced as Preside gallant General Nicholls (ex-Governor of the State), who lost his leg at Chancellorsville (and whose maimed form and empty sleeve were on the platform, touching tesr who wore the blue in the late war, but were willing to hear the story of Chancellorsville, told by a gallant, and true Confederate.

That night (the 22d of February) a fine audience assembled at McDonald's new and beautiful opera house (courteously tendered by the proprietor without charge), and General Lee was heard with deeply interested enthusiasm, by as highly intelligent and appreciative an auditory as often greets a speaker. It was especially fitting that Alabama's soldier-Governor, the gallant General O'Neal, should preside on the occasion, and introduced General Lee, for he had commanded the advance brigade of Rodes's division, which so gloriously opened the battle by crushing Howard's corps. General Lee put into his address a graceful tribute to General O'Neal, which was received with loud applause. At the conclusion of the lecture, General Lee received from some Virginia ladies a beautiful basket of flowers, the basket being made from willow

Army of Northern Virginia, and of Hood's old brigade, met us at the depot and escorted us to the Capitol hotel, one of the finest and most elegantly furnished in the South, where Captain Scurry had his fine company, the Light Guard, drawn up to receive the General, who passed, with his escort, through their open ranks, with uncovered head, and entered the spacious parlors where a large crowd of ladies and gentlemen were assembled to receive and greet him. In behalf of the good people of Houston, Major Wm. H. Crank made the following appropriate address of welcome, which was received with loud applause: Ladies and Gentlemen,—We are here to tender the welcome, which Texans know so well how to offer, to one who bears a name honored and revered throughout the civilized world.

ed the day, and at night General Lee had a fine audience and a splendid reception. We saw enough of Little Rock to be charmed with the city, and to resolve to go there again at our very first opportunity. But at 12 we were off for Memphis, to reach which place we had, because of the overflow, to go by rail to Madison, and thence by steamer down the St. Francis and up the Mississippi. The trip would have been a very tedious one; but the courtesy of Captain W. A. Joplin, (an old Bedford, Virginia, Confederate,) and his polite officers of the steamer Rene Macready, made our time pass very pleasantly, and the sight of the Mississippi, forty miles wide at that point, was very interesting to us, though not so to the poor sufferers by the flood. Arriving at Memphis we were met at the boat by the committee, who were introduced by our friend, Colonel H. D. Capers, and were at once taken possession of so cordially that the salute fired in honor of General Lee's arrival was entirely
