The Maryland shaft for the soldiers' cemetery at Winchester has been completed, and will be unveiled in Winchester on the 5th of June--the Confederate memorial day of Stonewall cemetery. Our friend, Captain Winfield Peters, of Baltimore, favored us with a visit a few days ago, and imparted to us some of his own enthusiasm as he spoke of the ease with which the Confederate States Army and Navy Society of Baltimore had raised $2,200 for this shaft, and their plans for a grand occasion at the unveiling on the approaching memorial day at Winchester. He also spoke enthusiastically and hopefully of the purpose of a number of their admirers to rear a monument at Winchester to the Ashby brothers (Turner and Richard), who surely deserve such commemoration.

We deeply regret that his death will deprive us of a paper on the Confededate Nitre and Mining Bureau which he had promised us. Since the war General St. John has pursued his profession of engineering with an ability and success which has given him an enviable reputation both in this country and in Europe. For several years he had been Consulting Engineer on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. He was one of the most active members of our Society, and took the deepest interest in all that concerned our work. The Secretary has sustained a severe personal bereavement in his death, and will sadly miss the frequent visits, kindly words of cheer, wise counsel and active help of this high-toned, genial gentleman — this warm hearted, tried and true friend.

this high-toned, genial gentleman — this warm hearted, tried and true friend. Of the loss to his immediate family of this affectionate husband and devoted father we may not here speak, but can only commend them to the God of the widow and the Father of the fatherless. As one after another of our Confederate leaders falls at his post, there comes a trumpet call to those left behind to see to it that the material for a true history of our great struggle is put into proper shape.

Editorial paragraphs. The death of General I. M. St. John, which occurred at the White Sulphur Springs on the 7th of April, removes one of the most gallant and accomplished gentlemen, one of the ablest engineers, and one of the most devoted Confederates, whom we have ever known. Entering our service from the State of Georgia (though a New York man by birth), he distinguished himself in the engineer service, and was afterwards put in charge of the Nitre and Mining Bureau, which he managed with an energy, skill and real ability which produced results almost miraculous in the face of the difficulties against which he had to contend. In the early part of February, 1865, he was made Commissary-General of the Confederacy, and discharged his duties with such ability that, in spite of the constantly decreasing resources of the Confederacy, General Lee wrote three weeks afterwards that his army had not been so well supplied for many months. He also received the warmest commendation
