We had the First Virginia cavalry, under Colonel (afterwards General) J. E. B. Stuart, not far off in our front, guarding the fords of the Potomac and watching the enemy under General Patterson; and we had frequent communication with Augusta and Rockbridge companies which were in this regiment. We had now and then alarms s months before, three hundred and seventy miles. The detachment under Lieutenant McCorkle, which was left at Martinsburg, took part in an independent movement which mystified the participants in it, and is briefly alluded to in one of General J. E. B. Stuart's reports, though he erroneously describes the artillery which took part in the movement. Soon after the battle of Sharpsburg, according to one of the men who was there, but just before that battle, according to the memory of another of

In this way Lee and Longstreet were both kept informed of the movements of the enemy. On the day that Ewell left Hagerstown (22d), General Lee sent unsealed through Longstreet the following letter of instructions: headquarters, June 22, 1863. Major-General J. E. B. Stuart, Commanding Cavalry, &c.. General,—I have just received your note of 7:45 this morning to General Longstreet. I judge the efforts of the enemy yesterday were to arrest our progress and ascertain our whereabouts. I fear he will steal a march on us, and get across the Potomac before we are aware.

A story never before published, as related by an ex-confederate officer, who is now a resident of Norfolk, Va. About daylight of the day before the second battle of Manassas, I was ordered to report to General T. J. Jackson, with a detail of one hundred men for special duty. Upon arrival at the headquarters and making myself known by presenting the order of General J. E. B. Stuart, General Jackson told me to come with him, and rode some fifty or one hundred yards from his staff, turned towards me and halted. Then he said, Captain, do you ever use liquors? I replied, No, sir. He then said: I sent to General Stuart to send me a special detail of one hundred men under command of an officer who never used spirituous liquors. Are you that man? I said, Yes, sir; I was detailed on that account. Well, sir, I have an order to give, upon the full and exact exec

ederacy, whenever the trumpet call of duty sounds, when the call to do right without regard to consequence rings over the woods and the meadows, the mountains and the valleys, the spirit of the Confederacy will rise, the dead of Hollywood and of Oakwood will stand in ranks, and their eternal memory will inspire their descendants to do right whatever it cost of life or fortune, of danger and disaster. Lee will ride his bronze horse, Hill (A. P.) will be by his side, Stonewall will be there, Stuart's plume will float again, and the battle-line of the Confederacy will move forward to do duty, justice, and right. The memorial of the Confederacy is here, not built by hands—made by memory and devotion! What else could it be?
