ary companies, and an immense concourse of people, estimated at 15,000, were present. An appropriate address of welcome by Governor Holliday was suitably responded to by Mayor Latrobe, of Baltimore. The orator of the day was Spencer E. Jones, Esq., of Maryland, who during the war was a gallant private in the Maryland line, and whose oration seems to have given the highest satisfaction to all who heard it. Touching scenes of the occasion were the presentation by Governor Holliday of Mrs. Jackson and her daughter, Miss Julia, to the veterans of the old Stonewall Brigade who were present, and the reception by General B. T. Johnson of the flag of the First Maryland (Federal) regiment, which was captured at Front Royal May 23, 1862, by one of his men, and was now sent by its custodian, Miss Nannie McKay, in whose presence it was captured, to be returned to Colonel Kenly, who, despite the terrible wound he received that day, still survives, for his gallant First Maryland (Federal) reg

everly Robertson commanding. But before the move was completed, it was again detached. Captain Lay was sent for, and with confidential instructions, based upon the contemplated retreat, he was ordered to take his single company, and hold both Berry's and Castleman's fords, on the Shenandoah river, in order to protect the rear and flank of General D. H. Hill, then at Leesburg, and to do so at all hazards, even of capture ; also, if possible, to communicate the proposed movement to General Stonewall Jackson, then at Winchester, and who, without notice, would have been left entirely exposed. [Note.--This was successfully accomplished on foot by Sergeant William A. Sublett, now of this city, a brave and skilful soldier]. Headquarters were at Aldie, and daily reports to General Johnston, Stuart and D. H. Hill. How this duty was discharged was evidenced by a complimentary letter from General Hill. We left Middleburg after his whole train — wagon and ordnance — had passed, with nearly

l. We take pleasure in chronicling this offer (parties desiring further details can correspond with Dr. Vaughan), and of expressing the hope that all of these scholarships in this excellent school may be promptly filled. A medal of Stonewall Jackson, purporting to have been struck in France during the last year of the war by order of Colonel Charles Lamar, of Georgia, who proposed presenting one to each member of the Foot Cavalry who survived the great chieftain, is being sold for the o our friend, Captain Winfield Peters, of Baltimore, for one in a beautiful morocco case with our name and that of the donor upon it. On one side of the silver medal is the head, name, date of birth and date of death, and on the other, entwined in a wreath, is the motto of the Confederacy and the names of the battles in which Stonewall Jackson led his brave legions. While regretting that the likeness is not more accurate, the medal makes a pleasing souvenir which an old soldier would prize.

So we find it was 12 o'clock when the last brigade (Jackson's) of the leading division reached the position it was to occupy in line, Jackson's Report, p. 234 1st volume Official Reports of Battles C.

Patton Anderson's Report, p. 276 1st volume Official Reports Battles C. S. A. This caused it to be half-past 4, or even later, before General Bragg's line to the left of the road was completed. As General Polk had to follow the movements of General Bragg's troops and form his line parallel to that portion of them placed to the left of the road, and as he actually got into position between 4 and 5, it is e

aptain R. H. Finney, Acting Adjutant-General. How Stonewall Jackson met his death. An interesting and authentic statemenof the circumstances connected with the death-wound of General Jackson, particularly as a recent publication has declared thaight attack was not contemplated at that time. When General Jackson moved so unexpectedly and so successfully upon the ener further orders, and on reaching the plank-road I met General Jackson alone, I think, and he at once wished to know for whoml Pender now rode up and advised me not to advance, as General Jackson had been wounded, and he thought by my command.

oochee responded to the Chickahominy, as the Tennessee called to the Shenandoah, and the Cumberland replied to the Rappahannock, and the Mississippi answered back to the Potomac, the wail of their waters was the death dirge of heroes, whose souls were one in strength, in courage, in consecration. But our rivers sang the sadder song. It was the miserere of siege and surrender, of retreat and disaster. True you have your Gettysburg, your Petersburg and your Appomattox. And you lost your Jackson. But your hero conquered in dying, for he knew that Chancellorsville was his before he crossed the river and rested under the shade of the trees, while we lost our Sidney Johnston, and with our hero our hard-won Shiloh. Your defeats were fewer than our victories, and yet we do not ask you to be generous, but simply just, in yielding your assent, when we say that the men of the armies of the west, on either side our great river, were your peers in spirit, in courage and in devotion, and

rises before my mind, I think that surely Never hand waved sword from stain so free, Nor purer sword led a braver band, Nor braver bled for a fairer land, Nor fairer land had a cause so grand, Nor cause a chief like Lee. We go, comrades, to drop a flower upon the graves of those who represent to us the gallant dead of that army. From the cavalry, the artillery, and the infantry, 'tis not our privilege to place the tribute of devotion on the graves of our Stuart, our Pelham, or our Jackson, or even, perhaps, upon the humble mound of that comrade best beloved to each, but others of our brotherhood will drop the tear and strew the graves where tender hands have gathered them, and over those who lie yet where they fell, by hill and glen, and grove, will the good God spread the daisy and the buttercup, and the tender dew will drop its glistening tear. On the graves of these who rest within our charge we each will drop the flower in memory of his absent dead, while all unite in c
