hen dying at Gettysburg confessed that he had come to see that he had wronged his country. We sent General Doubleday these proofs that he had wronged a gallant soldier, and had a right to expect that he would hasten to make the amende honorable. How far he has done so we leave our readers to judge from a statement of the facts. We received, in due course of mail, the following letter: Mendham, New Jersey, March 23d, 1883. To the Publisher of the Southern Hiistorical Society Papers, Richmond, Va. Sir,—I enclose you by this mail a copy of the second edition of my book on Gettysburg and Chancellorsville, in which some inaccuracies which were in the first edition have been corrected. As it was printed—through a misunderstanding—before I had an opportunity to correct it, there are still some typographical errors to be found. I regret that it was in print before I had discovered the mistake in relation to General Armistead's having been at the first battle of Bull Run. Another<

Theodore Gerrish, (now pastor of the First Methodist Church, Bangor, Maine, but during the war a gallant soldier in the Twentieth Maine Regiment,) author of Reminiscences of the War. In a letter to the Secretary, dated March 16th, 1883, Mr. Gerrish says: One of my church members, a very reliable gentleman, whose address is W. H. Moore, Cumberland street, Bangor, was formerly a member of the Ninty-Seventh New York Regiment, which, at Gettysburg, was in Robinson's Division of the First Corps. He was wounded on the third day and taken to a hospital in the rear. General Armistead was brought to the same hospital and placed beside him.

In the edition sent us there is a foot-note, written in red ink, after the statement concerning Armistead's action at First Manassas, to the following effect: This is a mistake. A Richmond paper erroneously stated that a Lieutenant Abercrombie, who went over to them, and who had been an officer in the regular army, was engaged on our side in the first battle of Bull Run. Camp rumor made the name Armistead. We ought, perhaps, to be duly grateful to General Doubleday for making even this small concession, especially if he sees that it goes into the third edition of his book. And we are greatly obliged to him for thus affording us an explanation of many other most marvellous statements in his very remarkable book. He
