bed by Dr. Dabney, Dr. Hunter Mc-Guire and others. His glorious death. Stonewall Jackson died as he lived — an humble, trusting Christian. Nay! he did not die. The weary, worn marcher simply crossed over the river and rested under the shade of the trees. The battle-scarred warrior fought his last battle, won his last victory, and went to wear his bright crown of rejoicing, his fadeless laurels of honor, to receive from earth and from Heaven the plaudit: Servant of God well done, Rest from Thy loved employ; The battle's fought, the victory's won; Enter thy Master's joy. As veterans of the old Stonewall corps gather in Lexington around the grand monument of their old chief, and as comrades scattered all over the land shall read the story of the happy day, God grant that one and all of them may hear the voice of the glorious and glorified leader calling to them in trumpet tones: be Ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ!

General W. S. Walker at Chapultepec. [Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution, July 1, 1883.] General Joe Johnston tells a thrilling story of our General W. S. Walker and his daring at Chapultepec, in the Mexican war. He says: Walker, who was then a young lieutenant, was, I thought, the handsomest man I ever saw as he led his men to the charge. Of perfect feature, slender frame, and the carriage of a thoroughbred, he was the picture of a soldier. As his men swept on in the charge, rushing past a battery that might have swept them from the face of the earth, Walker soon went to the front. He was the first man to scale the heights, and was about to seize the Mexican colors, run them down, and put the Stars and Stripes in their place. Just as he had his hand on the flag-staff, Major Seymour, of Connecticut, rushed up, and with rare inborn courtesy, Walker stepped aside and allowed his senior officer to take the honor. It made Major Seymour so much reputation that he was frequently sugg

To take Atlanta, it would be necessary to Atlanta, it would be necessary to take all three.

d on in its furious course, crushing a heavy window facing beyond. Without turning his head, Mr. Yancy, who was at the time addressing the Speaker, continued his speech, deliberately remarking: It is always the prerogative of cowards to strike from the rear. Enraged still more at this remark, Mr. Hill, gathering a chair, rushed upon his antagonist, who heedless of the attack, was continuing his remarks as calmly as if nothing had happened, when a number of senators interposing, the difficulty was ended. Mr. Yancey's wound bled most profusely, and a scene of the utmost confusion prevailed. Cause of Yanceys death. It has been several times stated since Mr. Yancey's death that it resulted from injuries received in this rencounter; but such is not the fact, as he died from a disease that could in no way have been superinduced by this cause. Mr. Yancey died at Montgomery, 28th July, 1863, and B. H. Hill died in Atlanta, 19th August, 1882. O. Richmond, Va., 16th March, 1891.

f upon his horse and galloped to the rear, but I was under orders from him to remain near the spot in order to direct movements. This I did until my tasks were finished. The interval between his retirement and mine I spent partly in conference with General Hood, who was standing dismounted in front of his brigade, some forty or fifty yards east of the gate-posts. Very respectfully yours, etc., R. L. Dabney. Dr. J. William Jones' reply to the open letter of Rev. Dr. R. L. Dabney. Atlanta, Ga., January 5, 1892. Rev. Dr. R. L. Dabney: my dear brother,—I have just seen your open letter to me, published in the Richmond Dispatch of the 2d instant, and I hasten to assure you of my deep regret that I have connected your name with an anecdote which you pronounce without foundation, and especially that you regard it (or at least the version of it you have heard) as reflecting upon you, and placing you in a false and discreditable light. Let me assure you that nothing was further

it the control of the Mississippi; Gettysburg is lost; the armies melt away; already is the battle-field become the home of the citizen; thinned-out battalions fight where divisions are needed; the best leaders fall; captains become generals, and companies are commanded by privates. The commonest necessities of life become rarest luxuries. Barns and farm-houses are burnt, the herds are driven off or taken away, and nothing remains but man and steel—the soldier and his weapon. Now fall Atlanta, Mobile, Savannah, Charleston, only fragments of the former States fight in their narrow limits, cut off from all the outside world; the small army of defence melts visibly away, and just as visibly grow the armies and courage of the enemy. Hope dies out, and fidelity to duty alone must sustain courage. Manly courage and woman's faith remain the last support. The women care for the wounded and strengthen the courage of the combatants. The men stand brave and unterrified behind Johnsto
