Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 14. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Annual reunion of Pegram Battalion Association in the Hall of House of Delegates, Richmond, Va., May 21st, 1886. (search)
Pegram Battalion Association was held in the Capitol of the State Thursday evening, May 21, 1886. At 8 1/2 o'clock the Association marched in a body into the Hall of the House of Delegates with music. The Hall was well filled with an audience of ladies and gentlemen, composed of the mothers, wives, daughters, sisters and friends of the living and of the dead members of the Battalion. The Assembly call was then sounded on the bugle, after which a beautiful and touching prayer by Rev. J. Wm. Jones, D. D., Chaplain of the Association. Captain W. Gordon McCabe, formerly Adjutant of the Battalion, then presented the Old battle flag to the keeping of the Association in the following eloquent and historical Presentation address: Comrades of Pegram's Battalion: On behalf of the mother of Colonel William Johnson Pegram I give into your keeping this flag—for two campaigns the battle-flag of his old battery, the Purcell—afterwards the head quarter battle-flag of the Batta

No wooden vessel could have floated twenty minutes under the fire that the Virginia was then undergoing from the Monitor and the Minnesota, but if her propeller was disabled it was necessary to attempt to tow her back to the cover of the Confederate batteries. So the Patrick Henry and Jamestown started to make the attempt, but they had gone only a short distance when the Virginia was seen to move and her propeller to turn, showing that she required no assistance.

Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 14. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), The secession of Virginia. (search)
The secession of Virginia. by J. Wm. Jones. [The following, written in the New York Examiner, in reply to a so-called historical statement of Mr. Rossiter Johnson, is put in our records at the request of a number of gentlemen whose opinions we respect. It is, of course, not a full treatment of the question, but merely a hit back at Mr. Johnson's misrepresentations.] I am willing to believe that Mr. Johnson has tried to be fair, and has presented the case as he understands it. But as a Virginian born and reared on her soil, familiar with her history, and proud of her traditions, I especially desire to enter my protest against the account he has given [see the Examiner of November 12th] of The Secession of Virginia. The statement that Virginia's Governor (John Letcher) was an ardent disunionist exactly contradicts the fact. Governor Letcher, up to the issuing of Mr. Lincoln's proclamation calling for seventy-five thousand troops to coerce the seceded States, was an ardent

Several incidents of Christ in the camp. by J. William Jones. [We have been writing a series of papers on Christ in the Camp; or, Religion in Lee's Army, which will soon be issued in book form, and which give a most important phase of the history of our grand old army. We cannot comply with requests received from several respected sources to put all these papers into this volume, but we give from them several incidents which may serve as specimens of the abundant material on hand for this interesting chapter of our history.] On the night before the last day's battle at Second Manassas occurred one of the most touching episodes of which I heard. Colonel W. S. H. Baylor [I ought really to call him General, for Stonewall Jackson and R. E. Lee had both recommended his promotion, and his commission had actually been made out when news of his lamented death reached Richmond], one of the most widely known and loved young men in the State, was in command of the famous old Stonewall B

A visit to Beauvoir—President Davis and family at home. by J. Wm. Jones. Richmond, Va., August 1st, 1886. A trip from Richmond to Beauvoir, by the Richmond and Danville route to Atlanta, the Atlanta, West Point and Montgomery to Montgomery, and thence by the Louisville and Nashville railway, is quick and comparatively comfortable, even at this season. Leaving here at 2 A. M. on Thursday we reached Beauvoir—a flag station on the Louisville and Nashville, half-way between Mobile and New Orleans—at 4:40 P. M. Friday. The first questions asked are, Where is Mr. Davis's house? Is Mr. Davis at home? The grounds are pointed out as running down to the station, the large vineyard of Scuppernong grapes forming a pleasing contrast to the sighing pines around, and soon the large yard, shaded by live-oaks, is seen, and the dim outlines of the cottages and mansion, as we hurry along the road to the house of a relative on the beach, several hundred yards below.

Commanding General, Army Northern Virginia, I proceeded on an expedition into Pennsylvania, with a cavalry force of eighteen hundred men and four pieces of horse artillery, under command of Brigadier-General Hampton and Colonels W. H. F. Lee and Jones. This force rendezvoused at Darksville at 12 M., and marched thence to the vicinity of Hedgesville, where it camped for the night. At daylight next morning (October 10th) I crossed the Potomac at McCoy's, between Williamsport and Hancock, witharch was destitute of interest. The conduct of the command and their behavior towards the inhabitants is worthy of the highest praise; a few individual cases only were exceptions in this particular. Brigadier-General Hampton and Colonels Lee, Jones, Wickham and Butler, and the officers and men under their command, are entitled to my lasting gratitude for their coolness in danger and cheerful obedience to orders. Unoffending persons were treated with civility, and the inhabitants were gener
