he supplies and government stock, all of which I sent up the river about three miles, on the Winston plantation. My wife and daughter, Callie, accompanied the train on horseback, with a Mr. Leonard in charge. They would have been captured but for a thorough knowledge of the country and the fleetness of their horses. I was superintending the men under me in tearing up the flooring of the large foot bridge, to prevent the enemy from passing over with their cavalry and heavy ordnance, as Beauregard was thought to be rapidly pursuing this part of Wilson's command. Here the noble young McKnight was killed, and he was on leave of absence from Leed's Light Horse, New Orleans. My servant, Andrew Walker, received a slight flesh wound, but from his wild expression, showing so much of the white of his eyes, it was evident he thought that his time had came. Mr. W. C. Camp, proprietor of the hotel, who left the bridge for the fort to report, had both eyes shot out. So sad! Lieutenant Lee,

We were now a part of Beauregard's army, and while he remained in Virginia continued undy was opened to Drewry's Bluff for the reinforcements to Beauregard. As soon as we arrived there, Ransom's Brigade was ordek on the Confederate side for an attack, and by daylight Beauregard moved his entire army forward for an attack, en echelon ed and confident of victory, was completely routed; and Beauregard had gained the best fought battle of the war. In boldnestily we three up a line of rifle pits; and now commenced Beauregard's magnificent grapple with Grant's army until Longstreete than 5,000 men and eighteen pieces of field artillery, Beauregard kept in check Grant's army, coming up from City Point, aet the flank attack, repulse it, and then, being massed, Beauregard would hurl his shattered but compact battalions against

d southward through a part of the town, and then took a road eastward in the direction of Millwood, on the road toward Ashby's gap, in the Blue Ridge How distinctly some of us remember that after marching several miles from Winchester we were halted in the road, and heard an officer, who had been sent there for the purpose of giving us General Johnston's order, read it in a loud voice, which order has been given by some of the historians of the times as follows: Our gallant army, under General Beauregard, has been attacked by the enemy in overwhelming numbers; the commanding-general hopes that his troops will step out like men and make a forced march to save our country. This was certainly the substance of it, and we responded with a cheer and with quickening footsteps. We forded the Shenandoah that night at Berry's Ferry, and reached the eastern side of the Blue Ridge Mountain at a small place called Paris, about 2 or 3 o'clock next morning. Here the company rested till sun-rise

Of the Fourth Alabama, which had entered the fight 850 strong, more than 400 had gone down on the bloody field, and all that were engaged had suffered in the same proportion, but with ranks unbroken, resolute, and dauntless still, Johnston and Beauregard both were urging and encouraging the troops, and fully exposed to the whole Federal fire, the minie-balls coming thick and fast. Jackson stood near his brigade, with cap drawn close over his eyes, stern and silent, awaiting the catastrophe, an disorganized, panic-stricken masses poured like an avalanche across the turnpike, over the stone bridge, into the woods and fields beyond. The President. At this juncture I was standing not far from the Henry House. Generals Johnston and Beauregard were with President Davis, who, hearing that the Confederate army was retreating, had come in a special car from Richmond, and had just ridden upon the field. Captain Davis, at the head of the Albemarle Troop of cavalry, rode up the hill, and

little finger (just think of that!) went home crying as if his heart would break. For the first year of the war, I was in the infantry (the Nineteenth Virginia regiment); after that I was in the cavalry till the end. At Manassas Junction, we camped for a long time and struggled with measles, hooping cough, mumps, pneumonia, and typhoid fever, whilst General Scott was grooming another antagonist, with whom he was soon to further test our mettle. It was there I first saw General Lee. General Beauregard held a review for him. Tall and straight, with iron-gray hair, and moustache as black as the raven's wing, he was the very embodiment of warrior grace and symmetry as he sat on his horse, and viewed our undisciplined lines with a serious face and grave and dignified mien. I never looked upon his like before, and know I never shall again. I saw him last at Farmville on our way to the doom of Appomattox. I never saw him after the war, and am glad I never did. He will live in my poor m

Burning with a desire to establish such an institution in tll, Miss Graham, Miss Laura Wilkinson, and Mrs. Powell, Huntsville, Ala. The room was richly decorated, and contained numerous relics of particular value and interest, including an original manuscript account of the battle of Manassas by General Beauregard, presented by Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson, the popular Southern authoress; sword, epaulets, field-glass, Bible, spur, bit, saddle, blanket, and coat belonging to General H.
