Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 33. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), The lost sword of Gen. Richard B. Garnett, who fell at Gettysburg, (from the Baltimore sun, of November 4, and December 3, 1905.) (search)
he sword of Gen. Richard B. Garnett, who commanded a brigade in the famous charge of Pickett's division at Gettysburg, in which General Garnett was killed. The sword is after the pattern for artillery officers in the United States Army, and is inscribed R. B. Garnett, U. S. A., with the name of the maker. The blade is of fine metal, elaborately embellished, and is in perfect order. The scabbard is of fine steel, but somewhat rusty. General Garnett resigned from the United States Army in 1861, at the outbreak of the war for Southern Independence, and was promptly commissioned in the Confederate Army. Prior to serving under General Pickett he served under General T. J. (Stonewall) Jackson, and was rated among the bravest and ablest of the Westpointers who served the Confederacy. General Garnett was last seen leading his brigade in Pickett's charge. He was mounted and his horse was bleeding from a wound. His body was not identified and will always lie among the unknown Confedera

Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 33. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Address delivered at Newton, North Carolina, (search)
Address delivered at Newton, North Carolina, Before the Annual reunion of Confederate Veterans August 20th, 1904, By Colonel Risden Tyler Bennett, late of 14th N. C. Troops, C. S. A. [The admirable spirit of this address is in happy contrast to other allusions from prominent men of North Carolina. For the achievements of the Fourteenth North Carolina Regiment, see North Carolina Regiments 1861-5, Vol .I, pp. 905-62, and for the addresses by Col. Bennett, The Morale of the Confederate, and The Private Soldier of the C. S. Army, see Vols. XXII and XXV, Southern Historical Society Papers.—Ed.] Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Soldiers: I am delighted to meet this great company of Christian people. The reason shall presently be made manifest. In yonder hall of justice a court was begun and holden twenty-four years ago, the last Monday in this current month, it was my first term as judge. I held it in humility of spirit, supported by a mutilated Confederate soldier. Nig

officer, stands in the foremost line of the heroes and martyrs of the Civil War. He met his pathetic fate with that stern, yet gentle sense of honor that not unwillingly pays its price without repining or regret. He was just 26 years of age in 1861. He had graduated in law at the University of Virginia. He had been right in the midst of the John Brown insurrection, and he was ripe for those services to his State by which he was soon distinguished. He was badly wounded in a charge under ette until February, 1866, when a Brooklyn judge released him on a writ of habeas corpus, and since then nothing has been heard about him. War Department records show that the number of Federal prisoners in Confederate hands were 270,000 during 1861-65, and the number of Confederates in northern prisons numbered 220,000, the same period, and yet 32,000 Confederates died in northern prisons, many of whom were shot for slight provocations. During the same time there were but 22,750 deaths of F

submit in advance, or as prefatory to my sketch, a general reflection, also a sort of recapitulation, to wit: Heine says: We do not take possession of our ideas, but are possessed by them. They master us and force us into the arena, where like gladiators, we must fight for them. And it will not matter to the thoughtless spectator if the emperor turns his royal thumb down or up, we may either live or perish, grandly or ignobly, amid the most ennobling ideas that dominate our race. From 1861-65, four memorial years, we fought it out on a line of ideas that took possession of our minds and hearts. In God's providence it may so happen that failure in a great and good cause may be crowned with untold blessings. If this be the philosophy of the situation, we must line up like men and join in the great rush and mighty tide of stupendous events. It is entirely probable and surely quite possible for a man to forget many things of the past in which he took an active part; the elapse

Infantry strength of the Confederate Army. While thus speaking incidently of the fighting quality of the Georgia soldiers I am tempted to a slight digression that may be regarded as a correctly summarized statement of some interest. The seventy-six regiments of infantry furnished the Confederate army by the gallant State of Georgia were men of the same stamp as the seventy-one regiments from North Carolina, and the seventy regiments from old Virginia; these three States during the war 1861-5 put in the field two hundred and seventeen of the five hundred and seventy regiments composing the grand army of the Confederacy. Eight other Southern States supplied three hundred and fifty-three regiments, fully as brave, true and patriotic as the three States named, and which are only thus mentioned because they were in the order named the largest numerical contributors, but excelling in nothing else. Not since the dawn of creation, or since men have lived under any form of government

uture will discern that The fall of Richmond and the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia were consequence of events in the west and southwest, and not directly of the operations in Virginia. （Early.) Was he indeed a great commander? In 1861, General Winfield Scott said; If given an opportunity, Lee will prove himself the greatest captain of history. To General William C. Preston, General Scott said: I tell you, that if I were on my death's bed tomorrow, and the President of the Unitan. Leaving the question of his military capacity, was Robert E. Lee a great man? In the Arlington mansion there is on the first floor, a small room, to the left of the hall, which was his office and library. One day in the spring of the year 1861 he paced the floor, and alone fought out the battle in his breast of a great decision. In the evening, with a clear conscience, and looking to God for his blessing, he lay down his commission and the offer of the supreme command of the United Sta

Some of the drug conditions during the war between the States, 1861-5. A paper read before a meeting of the American pharmaceutical Association held in Baltimore, Maryland, in August, 1898, By Jent a paper relating to the drug trade and the drug conditions as they appeared during the war of 1861-65, especially as they existed in the Southern States. Whatever may be the final verdict of ma. J. Julian Chisholm, professor of surgery in the Medical College of South Carolina, published in 1861 his Manuel of Military Surgery for the use of the Surgeons in the Confederate Army. This book waed. Candles made by the addition of grease are of a green color. Says the Charleston Courier of 1861: We have been so long dependent on our Yankee enemies for soap and candles that we have forgottenay be evolved into utility, I will have been rewarded for my outlay and my efforts. The war of 1861-1865 is now but a memory. The heroes of both sides—those tented on fame's eternal camping ground

seals for the Confederacy. The article was extensively copied by the press, and elicited the correction, that it was an elder brother of the deceased, who rendered the valuable service, Julius B. Baumgarten, who, hale and hearty at the age of three-score and ten, was still living in Washington, D. C., where he is engaged in business, and that he also made the first Confederate notes issued in Richmond, Virginia. This work was done at what was then No. 161 Main street. In the spring of 1861, at the solicitation of Senator Judah P. Benjamin, he joined fortunes with the Confederacy. His interesting statement follows: [editor.] I first went to Montgomery, Ala., which was then the seat of Government, said Mr. Baumgarten. I was armed with letters of introduction to Alexander H. Stephens, who immediately offered me a good salary, which I declined, agreeing to do all the work—engraving—at a price to be set by myself. My offer was accepted and I at once set to work engraving
