nded. And in Volume 8, pp. 493-496, we printed General Lane's account of the affair. These statements are all perfectly conclusive, and show beyond all cavil, that our great chieftain was shot down by the fire of his own men, who would gladly have laid down their lives for him. Towns Burned by Federal Troops. The following letter explains itself: Oxford, Miss., Mar. 30, 1882. Rev. J. William Jones, Secretary Southern Historical society: Dear Sir,--I have just read in your January and February number, a letter to you from my brother-in-law, W. M. Polk, with a chapter from a forthcoming work — The Life of Leonidas Polk. I read also with interest a letter from Rev. H. E. Hayden. I will add another to the list of towns wantonly burnt by Federal officers during the war.

We believe our printers are generally very accurate, and even where mistakes sometimes creep in it may be the fault of the copy, or of our proof-reading, rather than of the printers. But in our January-February number were some mistakes, which (whether made by the copyist or the printers) ought to be corrected. In General Early's letter about Winchester, he is made to write (page 79) Burntown for Brucetown, and to say that he would have stilles so carefully and accurately, that we are particularly annoyed when mistakes creep into his articles, even when (as in this case) the fault is in the copyist. Captain Polk writes us in reference to his article on Chickamauga, published in our January-February number: On page 5, in the paragraph relating to the operations of Generals Hill and Hindman against Generals Negley and Baird in McLemore's Cove (September 11th, 1863), I am made to say, By daylight of the 11th September Cleburne had

ready perfectly aware that there was then a place in Virginia called Newport's News, and the Company must have known also its precise locality. But if the place had first received its name on 22d November, 1621 (only fifty-nine days before that January letter was written), the writers of it would, for obvious reasons, most assuredly have said in it: We have, at their desire, seated them at the east point of the mouth of James river, which point has, within the last two months, been named Newpobtless select the locality where, or near where, he intended to plant his Company, before taking out from Ireland a Company of fifty emigrants, well furnished with all sortes of pvisione, [provision,] as well as with cattle, as is stated in that January-letter. To do this properly, and then to go back to Ireland and get up an expedition of that kind, could not have been well performed in less time, at the very least, than one year.

en able to fully redeem the assurance made in 1879, that we had made an arrangement by which in future the Papers will be published without risk of indebtedness to the Society. We only regret that (from various causes which we could neither foresee nor avert) our receipts fell off during 1880 and 1881, so that we could not meet our expectation of paying our old debt from surplus receipts. The liberality of the Army and Navy Society of the Confederate States, in Maryland, who voted us in January last a contribution from their treasury of $100--of individual friends who made us timely donations, and especially of our friends in New Orleans, who got up for us the grand meeting (of which we have published full accounts and made full acknowledgment)--has enabled us to pay $1,694.50 on account of the old debt, to reprint six or seven missing numbers of our Papers, (so that we now have a larger number of full sets than ever before), to meet current expenses, and to arrange for the early
