e I was unwilling to go myself, nor would I now advise you to a course which I felt myself unwilling to pursue. You have been good soldiers; you can be good citizens. Obey the laws, preserve your honor, and the government to which you have surrendered can afford to be and will be magnanimous. Like the cause he loved, he is dead. In coming years, when the bitterness of strife has passed away, when that mystic harp, whose chords connect the graves of the dead with the hearts of the living, shall vibrate the music of a restored Union, and some blind old bard shall sing the praises of American heroes, while eager children listen to their deeds of valor, the story of none will awaken loftier feelings of emulation than--Forrest — the wizard of the saddle. At the conclusion of General Chalmers' address, on motion of Attorney-General Field, of Virginia, the thanks of the meeting were returned to General Chalmers for his able and eloquent address, and a copy solicited for publication.

ciety Papers, and that no better way of vindicating the truth of our history can be devised than by giving these Papers a hearty support. A rebel Major-General as commander of one of the divisions of the procession, at the approaching inauguration of President Garfield, has excited the ire of the Union veterans in Washington, who have resolved not to march in the procession unless the outrage is removed. General W. T. Sherman, chief marshall, appointed the offending marshall (General C. W. Field), and insists upon retaining him, and it remains to be seen what the veterans will do. For our part we hope the gallant Confederate will relieve the minds of the veterans [we should like to know how many of them were real veterans and not bounty jumpers or boom proofs ] by declining the honor of being marshall at all, and that the boys in gray will make themselves conspicuously absent from any such people so long as they are unable to realize that the war closed nearly sixteen year

skill. One of the best chapters in General Webb's book is the last. It is clear, temperate and judicious. One of the worst is that on Malvern Hill, which is disjointed and confused. There are numerous smaller oversights, some of which show haste in preparation or careless proof-reading. Thus Whiting is several times called Whitney (pages 82-134), Mechum's River is called Mechanic's Run (page 122), R. H. Anderson is erroneously put for J. R. Anderson (page 96), Ellison's Mill is called Ellicott's Mill. （Page 126.) Confederate brigades are frequently spoken of as divisions--as Gregg's brigade (page 132), Armistead's brigade. (Page 156.) A. P. Hill's report is misquoted, to make the same mistake on page 150, where Field's and Pender's brigades are turned into divisions. I have noted no mistakes of the opposite kind. On page 187, the Confederates attacking Porter are spoken of as 70,000 in number (?), though here General Webb may be giving McClellan's estimate and not his own.

were left with General Ewell by General J. E. B. Stuart, when he went to the Peninsula, a few days after our first skirmish, and the burning of the railroad bridge over the Rappahannock. Colonel R. C. W. Radford commanded the Second cavalry; Colonel Field the Sixth. The reorganization occurred while at the Rappahannock, and Colonel Munford, former Lieutenant-Colonel of the regiment, succeeded Colonel Radford, while Colonel Harrison, Lieutenant-Colonel of the Sixth, was elected Colonel, ColoneColonel Field having been appointed Brigadier-General and sent to Fredericksburg. While at Conrad's store on the Shenandoah, in the Valley, Brigadier-General George H. Steuart (formerly Colonel of the Maryland regiment) was ordered to report to Major-General Jackson for duty, and to take command of the Maryland line, to which the Maryland regiment was assigned, and which he was to organize.
