range and Alexandria Railway, exposed to the vicissitudes of war. He allowed no deposits of supplies to be established near the army; and on the day of the battle, Beauregard had only a single day's rations for his troops. Statement of General Thomas Jordan, then chief of Beauregard's staff, in Harper's Magazie, XXXI. 610. Jordan says: Flour bought by speculators in the Valley and London was carried to Richmond, sold to the Subsistence Bureau, and transported back to Manassas. For weeks aJordan says: Flour bought by speculators in the Valley and London was carried to Richmond, sold to the Subsistence Bureau, and transported back to Manassas. For weeks afterward this state of things continued, and it was impossible for the army to move forward with safety, under such circumstances. Late in August, Johnston wrote to Beauregard: It is impossible, as the affairs of the commissariat are now managed, to think of any other military course than a strictly defensive base. There it lay at Manassas for many weeks, its officers chafing with impatience, whilst an immense National army was gathering and organizing, and drilling in front of Washington C

he President, General Scott, and General McClellan was called to the matter by the same Department, but nothing was done until toward the close of September, when Confederate batteries were actually planted there It appears by an autograph letter before me, written by Colonel Wade Hampton, at Freestone Point, between Occoquan and Dumfries, and dated September 24th, 1861, that a battery was completed at that place, and was ready for action at that date. His letter was addressed to Colonel Thomas Jordan, Beuregard's Assistant Adjutant-General. He says the works were constructed under Captin Lee, whose battery and a long 32-pounder rified gun were there. The latter had been sent there by General Trimble, a Maryland Traitor, then in the Confederate army. He reported that he had every thing in readiness to open fire the previous evening. A fringe of trees had been left standing on the point, to conceal the troops while erecting the works. These were out down on the night of the 23

The removal of special articles of value to Jackson, Tennessee, had been accomplished at that time. Then the cavalry set fire to the military buildings of the post, and, accompanied by Polk and his staff, followed the retiring columns, at three o'clock in the afternoon of the 2d. March, 1862. Report of Major-General Leonidas Polk to Colonel Thomas Jordan, March 18th, 1862. In five days, said Polk, in his report, we removed the accumulation of six months, taking with us all our commissary and quartermaster stores — an amount sufficient to supply my whole command for eight months; all our powder and other ammunition and ordnance stores (excepting a few shot, and gun-carriages), and every heavy gun in the fort. Two 82-pounders in a remote outwork were the only valuable guns left. These, with some smaller ones, were spiked. The whole

porarily to General Bragg, and sought repose and health for a few days at Bladen Springs, in Alabama. Jefferson Davis, whose will was law in the Confederacy, on hearing of this, directed Bragg, his favorite, to take permanent command of that army, and he passionately declared that Beauregard should not be reinstated, though all the world should urge him to the measure. Notes of an interview of a Congressional Committee with Davis, who requested the restoration of Beauregard, cited by General Jordan, in Harper's Magazine, XXXI., 616. While Beauregard was at Bladen, he wrote a letter to the Confederate General Martin, in which he expressed a coincidence of opinion with Stonewall Jackson, that the time had come for raising the black flag — in other words, giving no quarter — but killing every foe, armed or disarmed, in battle. I believe, he said, it is the only thing that will prevent recruiting at the North. --See The Weekly Register, Lynchburg, Virginia, April 16, 1864. This was a

Kentucky with about twelve hundred followers, under the conviction that large numbers of the young men of his native State would flock to his standard, and he might become the liberator of the commonwealth from the hireling legions of Lincoln. He left Knoxville, in East Tennessee, on the 4th of July, crossed the Cumberland Mountains, and entered Kentucky on its southeastern border. On the 9th of July, Morgan, assisted by Colonel Hunt, routed a detachment of Pennsylvania cavalry under Major Jordan, at Tompkinsville, in Monroe County, when the commander and nineteen others were made prisoners, and ten were killed or wounded. The assailants lost ten killed, including Colonel Hunt. On the following day Morgan issued a characteristic proclamation to the citizens of Kentucky, declaring that he and his followers (who from the beginning to the end were mere guerrillas, in the fullest sense of that term) appeared as their liberators, and saying :--Everywhere the cowardly foes have fled f
