ll over the North and Middle States. The damned niggers, as a general thing, preferred to stay at home, particularly after they found out that we wanted only the able-bodied men, and to tell the truth, the youngest and best-looking women. Sometimes we took them off by way of repaying influential secessionists. But a part of these we soon managed to lose, sometimes in crossing rivers, sometimes in other ways. I shall write you again from Wilmington, Goldsboro, or some other place in North Carolina. The order to march has arrived, and I must close hurriedly. Love to grandmother and Aunt Charlotte. Take care of yourself and the children. Don't show this letter out of the family. Your affectionate husband, Thomas J. Myers, Lieutenant, &c. P.

he issued a special order complimenting the First Maryland regiment, under Lieut.-Colonel George H. Steuart, for efficiency in carrying out his orders, and he further said: Owing to their discipline, no private property was injured and no unoffending citizen disturbed. The soldierly qualities of the Maryland regiment will not be forgotten in the day of action. And it so happened, frequently. Among the property thus saved from destruction was 17,000 musket stocks, which were sent to North Carolina to be completed, in acknowledgment of that State having armed and equipped the Marylanders. The order of January 2, 1862, from General Jackson to Colonel Ashby, ocurred during Jackson's sudden movement from Winchester to Romney, Va., with the design to destroy the B. & O. Railroad, but the result, while satisfactory, was not among Jackson's famous successes. Moreover, intensely cold weather ensued, with rain and snow, his men were mostly without suitable clothing to protect them, and

es not engaged were as much exposed, and rendered equal service with those participating in the fight. They deserve equally the thanks of the country. In fact, it is the most trying ordeal to which soldiers can be subjected, to receive a fire which their orders forbid them to return. Had a single company left its post our works would have been exposed, and the constancy and discipline of the unengaged companies cannot be too highly commended. A detachment of fifteen cadets from the North Carolina Military Institute defended the howitzer under Lieutenant Hudnall, and acted with great coolness and determination. The Confederates had in all 1,200 men in the action. The enemy had the regiments of Colonel Duryea (Zouaves), Colonel Carr, Colonel Allen, Colonel Bendix, and Colonel Winthrop (Massachusetts), from Old Point Comfort, and five companies of Phelp's Regiment, from Newport News. We had never more than 300 actively engaged at any one time. The Confederate loss was elev

he twenty-four hours thereafter. A British vessel was sent down to see that this order was not violated, and the Nashville, with flying colors, steamed proudly by the Tuscarora and passed out to sea, leaving her commander and crew to meditate on the delightful uncertainties of the law of nations. The run to Bermuda was without incident, save that we encountered a gale of wind which did us considerable damage. After repairing and coaling ship we took on board the master and crew of a North Carolina schooner, which had been wrecked by the gale at Bermuda. The master agreed to pilot us into the harbor of Beaufort, N. C., and we made for that port. On the passage the schooner Gilfillan was captured and destroyed. Arriving off Beaufort we found one United States blockade steamer and determined to pass in by a ruse de guerre. Personating a ship.

Number of North Carolina troops in the C. S. Army. [Raleigh, N. C, news and observer] To the Editor. Some one has recently started on the rounds a statement attributed to Major J. B. Neathery, private secretary to Governor Caldwell, that North Carolina furnished only 80,000 men to the Confederate Army. This statement has disturbed some of our editors. Among these, that venerable editor whom all true North Carolinians delight to honor, Dr. T. B. Kingsbury, of the Wilmington Messenger, has called for its refutation. Now, Dr. Kingsbury has done so much for the truth of North Carolina history that he cannot remember all that he has done. Fortunately much of his good work has been printed. Twenty-seven years ago he first publis uses these words: When we were connected with the Raleigh Sentinel, we stated that we had heard it estimated that North Carolina had furnished as many as 103,000 troops (independent of the Home Guards and Reserves) and then asked if any one could

Daughters of the Confederacy would erect a Monument over these fallen Heroes—Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama troops sleep there. To the Editor of the Dispatch. The Shenandoah river, in the Valley of Virginia—the garden spot of Virginia—was called by the Indians Minneha-ha, or, laughing waters. Situated on the bank of this beautiful stream is the town of Mount Jackson. This little town had its numerous experiences during the war between the States, from 1861-‘65. It had its joys and sorrows. Around it clusters many sad recollections and the memory of many daring and chivalrous deeds which will never be forgotten by those who survive. The people in the neighborhood were in the Confederacy heart and soul. The Confederate army established a large hospital here for the Southern

gether with a dozen of my own men, who were riding behind. A Confederate brigade was marching slowly in column on the left of the road and close to the woods, Keith Boswell was riding on the right of the General, and myself on the left, between him and our lines. The General turned to me and asked: Whose brigade is that? I don't know, sir, I replied, but will find out in a moment. I at once rode up to our line and asked the first officer I met whose brigade it was. He replied: Lane's North Carolina. I rode back to Jackson, giving him the reply. Go and tell the officer in command, he said, to halt his brigade. I rode up to the same officer, gave the command, and told him that it came from General Jackson in person. The order was passed along the line, and the whole brigade halted at once, making a half-wheel to the right, facing the road, and rested upon their arms. We continued our movement in the same order, walking our horses very slowly towards the front of the brigade. Su
