neral Butler that he could bring in the transports with the troops. The landing and attack took place on Christmas Day. The fire from the ships was slow and methodical, as at target practice. Great holes were dug in the parapets by the gigantic Fort McAllister. In this picture of December, 1864, the Federal vessels lie peaceful before the Fort so impregnable to their attacks early the preceding year. The shore appearing below was lined with Georgia sharpshooters by Captain George W. Anderson, Jr., commander of the Fort when the monitor Montauk and four gunboats advanced to the attack of Feb. 1, 1863. The Montauk, under Commander John Lorimer Worden, hero of the original Monitor, was the first Federal ironclad to arrive in Ossabaw Sound. Early on January 27th, it furiously attacked the fort. On this occasion the Federal vessels did not attempt to cross the line of piles and torpedoes. The Confederates were confident that in the second attack attempts would be made to

How my dear mother's gentle heart would warm towards them, and how earnestly would she invoke God's kindest blessing upon them, if she only knew of their disinterested, Christian conduct towards her suffering, destitute, imprisoned boy. They will surely reap an abundant reward. January 1st to February 2d, 1865 A number of officers, captured in Georgia by Sherman, arrived, and were quartered in adjoining rooms. Among them are General G. P. Harrison and Major George W. Anderson, Jr., of Savannah. The former commanded one of Governor Brown's militia brigades, and is. dressed as a citizen. February 3d All the officers, who had been confined at the Old Capitol any length of time, were to day very suddenly and unexpectedly ordered to pack up for Fort Delaware, and, soon after, were marched (I on my crutches, with my one legged friend, Adjutant Reagan, by my side) to Soldiers' rest.

off by way of Waynesboro, where he destroyed the bridge and set fire to the town, but Wheeler arrived in time to extinguish the flames. Beyond Waynesboro, Kilpatrick hastily barricaded a line which Wheeler assailed with great spirit, Humes and Anderson attacking on the flank. The enemy was routed, losing a large number in killed, wounded and prisoners, General Kilpatrick himself escaping with the loss of his hat. In a swamp the fight was renewed, and the enemy again stampeded with the loss ofty of which was reached about 11 a. m. on December 13th. They were delayed by the picket line and torpedoes in the road, and it was not until 4:45 that the assaulting column of nine regiments closed up around the fort, which was held by Maj. George W. Anderson and 250 men. General Hazen reported that the fort was carried at precisely 5 p. m. At close quarters the fighting became desperate and deadly. Just outside the works a line of torpedoes had been placed, many of which were exploded by th

Mr. Burwell, of Bedford, spoke about two hours, and in his able speech showed how much more it was to the interest of Virginia to be with the South than remain the tail of a Northern Confederacy.-- Col. R. M. Wiley, of Craig, (who is a candidate for the State Senate,) also took strong Southern grounds. Col. Anderson, our late representative in the Legislature, also gave "an account of his stewardship." He told the people that all hopes of an adjustment had banished — he had exhausted all in his power for the good of the State, and he returned to tell his constituents there was no longer any chance for either adjustment or reconstruction. He was in favor of the immediate withdrawal of the State from the Northern Confederacy. Some of his friends, he stated, had insisted upon his announcing himself a
