and manly figure, his easy carriage and fine seat, his never-failing spirits, his personal gallantry, his daring enthusiasm, his unfailing devotion, endeared him to his men and all who knew him. They will hear no more the ringing charge that made every man of them grip his saddle more closely and clench his hand more firmly on his sword hilt. They will never see again the gleaming blade that so often led them safely through the thickest of the fight. But his memory will be one more prize to the chivalry of the South, and his loss will be avenged. But somewhere in Virginia there is a home that will know this fearless soldier no more, and there will be sorrow that cannot be comforted. God grant that the days of peace be not far distant and that the blood of this Virginian here, sprung from a race of kings, and in his death worthily redeeming the splendid memories of an ancient dynasty, has not been poured out in vain.

Longstreet and Stuart. [from the Richmond (Va.) times, Feb'y 2, 1896.] Highly interesting review by Colonel John S. Mosby. Cause of the loss of Gettysburg. Many of Longstreet's statements in his book Combatted by Colonel Mosby—The want of cavalry had nothing to do with the result of the battle. General Longstreet, having acted a great part as a soldier, now appears as the historian of the war. His book will soon be buried in the dust of oblivion, but, fortunately for him, his fame does not rest upon what he has written, but what he has done. No doubt he has had to endure much, as he says, for the sake of his opinions, as every man must who goes in advance of his age, and he has had strong provocation to speak with bitterness of some of his contemporaries, if he spoke of them at all. But his better angel would have told him that much that he has written about his brothersin-arms would injure his own reputation more than theirs, and that if he had suffered injustice in

Beginning and the ending. [from the Richmond (Va.) times, January 26, February 2, 1896.] Reminiscences of the first and last days of the war, by Gen. George A. Hundley. Interesting personal Observations. The thrilling and exciting times immediately preceding the war-the first battle of Manassas. Amelia C. H., Va., January 1, 1895. George S. Bernard, Esq., Petersburg, Va. My dear sir,—In response to your request, I have witten you the enclosed sketch, giving an account of some of my army experiences. I have striven as far as possible to suppress the irrepressible ego, and, if it should seem to your readers that I have thrust into the narrative too much of my own personality, I beg to remind them that, in relating my own experiences, I have ever kept steadily in view a desire to give them a correct idea of the men and times of which I write, and of war scenes of which the historian takes little account. History too often moves along on stilts, giving a very impe
