y Mr J. W. H. Porter, under the supervision of Constructor John L. Porter, purporting to be a correct version of the converting of the Merrimac into an iron-clad. Mr Porter says: In your issue of Sunday last, in the communication of Mr. Virginius Newton, headed The Merrimac's men , there appears the following: Upon this hulk, according to plans furnished by Lieutenant John M. Brooke of the Confederate States Navy (though the merit of the design is also claimed for Naval Constructor John L. Porter), was built a house or shield, &c. This does a grave injustice to a gallant old Confederate and Virginian, who sacrificed his all upon the altar of his country; and had Mr. Newton known fully the facts it is believed that he would have published his article with the names above reversed. The following dispassionate statement of Colonel Brooke of the facts connected with the conversion of the Merrimac is conclusive: In October, 1887, I was requested by the editor of the

f Cape Hatteras, they got into a heavy gale. At 10 P. M., matters having become critical and it being impossible to keep the Monitor free of the water that came aboard with every sea, signals of distress were burned. Gallant and untiring efforts of rescue were made by the Rhode Island, and one of her boats was on its third and last perilous trip to remove those still aboard the Monitor when the ill-fated vessel suddenly disappeared beneath the angry waters, carrying down with her four officers and twelve men, forty-nine having been saved. This boat failed to reach the Monitor or regain the side of the Rhode Island, but drifted all night and the next day upon the waste of waters, until rescued by a passing vessel and taken into Philadelphia. We live within a new environment. The Merrimac and the Monitor are things of the past; but history shall note their deeds when the names of those who bore part in them shall be unremembered. Virginius Newton, Late a Midshipman, C. S. Navy.

5 and 22, 1894.] A very interesting and valuable paper read before R. E. Lee Camp by Mr. Virginius Newton. This valuable resume is from a corrected copy kindly furnished by Mr. Newton, a liveMr. Newton, a live citizen of Richmond, whose agency is felt, if not proclaimed. His modesty would fain keep in the shade his merit. His heart holds all of the memorable past, as the readers of the Papers, as welhe local press, warmly know—Ed. Southern Historical Society papers. Several weeks ago Mr. Virginius Newton, of this city, was requested by the members of Lee Camp to read before that body a paper relating to some of the numerous episodes during the late war. Mr. Newton responded with the promptness of a gallant soldier, and selected as his subject the Confederate Navy and its noble deeds Heselected the navy as their field of operation. The following is a copy of the paper read by Mr. Newton: In greeting you to-night, the mind, by that law which induces contrast, leaps the gap of t

aptain Page recalls to the minds of those who knew him many thrilling incidents in connection with his life. As Mr. Virginius Newton was one of the officers of the Stonewall, commanded by Captain Thomas Jefferson Page, a representative of The Times saw him yesterday evening. Mr. Newton gave the following account of the history of the Stonewall. In January, 1865, I was serving on board the Confederate frigate Rappahannock, lying in the harbor of Calias, France, detained by the French Govt those of the enemy. Incidentally, Dr. Green told of the court martialing of Commodore Craven, referred to above by Mr. Newton. The Stonewall, shortly after the incident at Lisbon, started across the Atlantic, intending to touch at Bermuda. Houndered off the coast of Japan in a gale.

The right of secession—a Review of Bledsoe's able work. From the Times-dispatch, October 20-27, 1907. An Epitome of the views of Webster, Calhoun and other famous statesmen. By Frederick Wilmer Sims, Louisa, Va. Is Davis a Traitor, or Was Secession a Constitutional Right, Previous to the War of 1861? By Albert Taylor Bledsoe, A. M., L. L. D., late professor of mathematics in the University of Virginia. Republished by Mary Barksdale Newton, in memory of her husband, Virginius Newton, of Richmond, Va. The Hermitage Press, Inc., 1907, Richmond, Va. As expressed in its preface: It is not the design of this book to open the subject of secession (but merely to discuss that subject from the standpoint of abstract right), in order to vindicate the character of the South for loyalty, and to wipe off the charges of treason and rebellion from the names and memories of Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson, Albert Sydney Johnston, Robert E. Lee and all who fought and suffered in t
