Reminiscences of the campaign of 1864 in Virginia. By General William F. Perry. No. 1. [We are anxious to get material for the history of the campaign of 1864, and are glad to be able to publish this sketch of the battle of the Wilderness, by1864, and are glad to be able to publish this sketch of the battle of the Wilderness, by General Perry, and to have the assurance that he will follow it up by other sketches of the same campaign.] It was my fortune to command Law's brigade of Field's division, Longstreet's corps, during the greater part of the year 1864--first as i1864--first as its senior colonel, and afterwards as its permanent commander. The report which was made in August of the part taken by my command in the great military operations of May and June, will doubtless never see the light. The copy which I retained was lo aimed by a master's hand, still remained to be delivered from Ewell's left, to close the first act of the bloody drama of 1864, and to consign the battle of the Wilderness to history. When the Muse of history shall have done her complete work, th

unson's hill, with a kindly word and a cordial grasp for even the private soldier — as all through the campaigns which followed he appeared at the head of his column or in the heat of battle always gay, quick and daring — and especially do we love to recall him amid the sweets of social intercourse or sitting a deeply interested listener in the meetings of our Chaplains' Association at Orange Courthouse. We were present when he took leave of his devoted wife at the opening of the campaign of 1864, saw him several times amid those bloody scenes in the Wilderness, and wept with the whole army when the sad news came that the great cavalryman had fallen — that the Chevalier Bayard of the Confederacy had yielded up his noble life in defending our capital from imminent danger. We would be glad to have from some competent hand a sketch of that last campaign of Stuart's, and a detailed account of the circumstances immediately connected with his fall. Meantime we give below the very intere<

ly names and money. Renewals have been coming in with some degree of briskness, but many of our friends have neglected this important matter. Ask your neighbor if he has renewed, and send us some new names. Reports of the campaigns of 1864-5 are especially desired. The Archive Bureau at Washington lacks many of the most important of these reports, and our files also are very defective for these years. There were none of the battle reports later than May, 1863, published by the Confederate Congress; many of the reports for 1864-5 had never been sent to the War Department, and hence the great deficiency. But we are satisfied that many of these reports are still scattered through the country in the hands of the officers who prepared them or of others, and we beg our friends to make diligent inquiries and to endeavor to secure them for us. Remember that where parties are unwilling to surrender originals, we will receive them as a loan until copies can be made both for our o

Operations of Second South Carolina regiment in campaigns of 1864 and 1865. By Colonel William Wallace, Commanding. At sunrise on the morning of the 6th of May, we were marching by the right flank along the Plank road when suddenly we heard firing; heard the minnie balls whistling and falling amongst us; saw our troops running rapidly to the rear, and learned that the enemy had surprised and routed them. Kershaw's division formed line in the midst of this confusion, like cool and well trained veterans, as they were, checked the enemy and soon drove them back. The Second regiment was on the left of the Plank road, near a battery of artillery, and, although completely flanked at one time by the giving way of the troops on the right, gallantly stood their ground, though suffering terribly; they and the battery keeping up a well directed fire to the right oblique until the enemy gave way. General Lee now appeared on our left, leading Hood's brigade. We rejoined our brigade on the

[We have been very anxious to publish reports of the campaign in the Trans-Mississippi department, and are glad to be able to give the following report of General Price's operations in 1864, which was not published by the Confederate Government. It will be read with great interest not only by those who served with that gallant army but by all who desire to know the truth concerning this important campaign ] Shreveport, La1864, which was not published by the Confederate Government.

Brigadier-General W. R. Boggs, Chief of Staff: General — I have the honor to make the following report of my operations in the late expedition to Missouri. I regret to state that the report is meagre and incomplete, for the reason that Major-General Marmaduke and Brigadier-General Cabell, who bore so honorable and conspicuous a share in the greater part of the expedition, were captured before its close and are prisoners in the hands of the enemy; whilst Major-General Fagan, who commanded the

Correspondence concerning the campaign of 1864. So many of the official reports, letters, telegrams, &c., concerning Lee's masterly campaign of 1864 were destroyed, that the records of that year are very imperfect, and even fragments are of great value. We shall, therefore, continue from time to time to give such letters, reports, telegrams, &c., as we have or may be able to procure. The following have never been published, and are worthy of going into the record: Letter from General 1864 were destroyed, that the records of that year are very imperfect, and even fragments are of great value.

To Major-General Breckinridge: General — I met the enemy near Wright's tavern, two and one half miles from Milford, where they showed themselves in some force. I think about five regiments were seen. At the Poorhouse I drove them back, but they are still on this side of the river. I shall occupy the road from Milford to the Junction tonight, and will advise you of any movement.

Telegrams concerning operations around Richmond and Petersburg in 1864. near Petersburg, Virginia, August 16th, 1864--8 A. M. General R. E. Lee, Chaffin's Bluff: All quiet yesterday and last night.

So governing the administration of his office that all his energies were devoted solely to the service of his people, content with the humble fare and the simplest form of a soldier's life. His headquarters during the fall and winter of 1864-5 were at Wytheville, as more central than Dublin and near the scene of possible operations. In December, near its middle, General Stoneman advanced from East Tennessee with a heavy cavalry force, while Burbridge came from Kentucky, the two effecting a junction and capturing Abingdon before meeting with any serious resistance. They also subsequently captured Saltville and Wytheville; but such was the vigor of General Breckinridge's movements and the skill of his dispositions, that with his

your friends about our Papers, urge them to subscribe, and send us promptly their names and their money. In the recent death of Lieutenant-General R. H. Anderson at Beaufort, South Carolina, a gallant soldier, a high-toned gentleman and a true patriot has joined the long line of illustrious comrades, who have crossed over the river before him. As illustrating an important part of his career, we propose beginning in our next number the publication of his military diary for the period in 1864, during which he commanded the old First corps, Army of Northern Virginia. Thus one by one our leaders are passing away. Who shall be next? Our advertisements should attract the special attention of all interested in the matters of which they treat. We can fully vouch for each one of our advertisers, and can recommend them all the more confidently because most of them were true Confederate soldiers.
