The Daughters of the Confederacy in Maryland held a popular and successful bazaar in the Fifth Regimenedged by all intelligent and fair-minded men and women in Maryland, as elsewhere. Young men and maidens, old men and childrrs were held in the same place by the same noble women of Maryland in 1885 and 1898, to supply the means to provide for indigent and worthy Confederates in Maryland, who hail from all parts of the South, the proceeds of those two bazaars being collappropriated $100,000 for like purpose.

aged in the battle. For the preceding sketch the Southern Historical Society Papers is indebted to Lieutenant-Colonel Winfield Peters, of the Maryland State Line, of Baltimore, the Maryland member of the History Committee of the United Confederate Veterans, late commander of J. R. Trimble Camp Confederate Veterans, etc., who was a private in the first Maryland infantry, C. S. A. This regiment, forming at Harper's Ferry, Va., was recruited largely from the First Rifle regiment of Baltimore, through the efforts of its commander, Colonel George Peters, father of Lieutenant-Colonel Peters, and his son. The Senior Colonel Peters also entered the Confederate service, served faithfully to the end, and died from the consequences of privation and exposure soon after the surrender. His sacrifices involved, not only his life, but his property also, and his entire family were launched into the Confederate struggle voluntarily, and suffered accordingly.

The originals are in the possession of Judge George W. Wilson, of Upper Marlboro, Md., who was a gallant soldier in the First Maryland battery, C. S. A. (raised and first commanded by Colonel R. Snowden Andrews, of Baltimore), who received them from Rev. James Battle Averitt, (when stationed at Upper Marlboro after the war)Upper Marlboro after the war), who was chaplain of Colonel Turner Ashby's cavalry and the custodian of the treasured documents. Following are copies of the orders referred to above: Hd Qrs Harper's Ferry, June 8th, 1861. Captain, I have ordered the Berlin bridge to be burned to-night, & Capt.

In Stonewall Jackson's way, he annihilated Milroy and telegraphed these words: God blessed our arms with victory at McDowell to-day; hurried back to the Valley and whipped in detail the other Yankee armies; then by a ruse de guerre, threw his force upon Lee's flank at Richmond, crushed McClellan's right and suddenly caused the star of that much vaunted Young Napoleon to set! By the strategem of Lee and Jackson and the valor of their armies, the Federal army of 40,000 at Fredericksburg was kept in the air (like McClellan's right flank) between Washington and McClellan's army beleaguring Richmond, but a day's march from him!

This regiment did the fighting, losing some of its best officers and men.

shing Rosser. Richard Ashby, brother of Turner, was captain of Company A in his regiment. Dick Ashby had already seen perilous service against the Indians in the West, but Turner Ashby was the more popular officer. Both were conspicuous types of the chivalrous cavalier—brave, dashing, and were idolized by their men. Their regiment, in June, 1861, was at Romney, Va., operating against the enemy. On or about June 26th, Captain Dick Ashby, with a small detachment, while scouting near New creek, was ambuscaded by Federal infantry. Ashby, having fallen with his horse, and helpless, was bayoneted repeatedly by coward hands. Being rescued, he was carried back to Romney, where he died, about July 3d. His tragic fate spread gloom through the regiment and among all the troops. The funeral escort consisted of his company and Captain George R. Gaither's Maryland company. Between the two brothers, Ashby, the close, tender ties existed that are so often found in Southern homes; henc
