s, I feel much indebted for his valuable and scientific assistance and the efficient working of the batteries under his immediate charge. The Cummings's Point batteries (iron 42-pounders and mortars) were manned by the Palmetto Guards, Captain Cuthbert; and I take pleasure in expressing my admiration of the service of the gallant captain and his distinguished company during the action. I would also mention in terms of praise the following commanders of batteries at the Point, viz.: Lieutenants Armstrong, of the Citadel Academy, and Brownfield, of the Palmetto Guards; also Captain Thomas, of the Citadel Academy, who had charge of the rifled cannon and had the honor of using this valuable weapon—a gift of one of South Carolina's sons to his native State— with peculiar effect. Captain J. G. King, with his company, the Marion Artillery, commanded the mortar battery in rear of the Cummings's Point batteries; and the accuracy of his shell practice was the theme of general admiration. Ca

promoting the efficiency of the army. As the cloud of war in mid-winter grew thicker and darker over the Confederacy the zeal and faith of the chaplains and missionaries increased. In Petersburg, in December, a meeting was held in which Rev. Dr. Armstrong, Rev. L. C. Vass, Rev. Dr. Pryor, Rev. J. Win. Jones, and Rev. J. C. Granbery, with other faithful laborers, participated. The object was to form an Association of Chaplains and Missionaries for the purpose of conducting more systematically the work of grace among the war-worn veterans. Dr. Armstrong preached an appropriate sermon from the words, The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding to the simple. They agreed to hold regular monthly meetings, and at these reports of the work in each brigade and in the hospitals were to be presented and read-all necessary measures taken to promote the cause of religion throughout the army. Along these lines of defence in the last months of the war the work of grace

losely allied in our sorrows and limitations, in our aspirations and hopes, surely we ought not to be separated in our sympathies. However various the names by which we call the Heavenly Father, if they are set to music by brotherly love, they can all be sung together. Her interest in the welfare of the emancipated class at the South and of the ill-fated Indians of the West remained unabated, and she watched with great satisfaction the experiment of the education of both classes in General Armstrong's institution at Hampton, Va. She omitted no opportunity of aiding the greatest social reform of the age, which aims to make the civil and political rights of woman equal to those of men. Her sympathies, to the last, went out instinctively to the wronged and weak. She used to excuse her vehemence in this respect by laughingly quoting lines from a poem entitled The under dog in the fight -- I know that the world, the great big world, Will never a moment stop To see which dog may be in

mpressed me very favorably, not only because it was uncommonly well written, but especially because he wrote: Don't beg for me at the North, my good friend. I will go to work and try again. I want to row my own boat. I sent the letter to General Armstrong, and asked that the Osgood scholarship might be bestowed upon him. That would defray the expense of his education, and if he was unable to pay for board, necessary books, etc., I agreed to be responsible therefor; with the request that he ms unable to pay for board, necessary books, etc., I agreed to be responsible therefor; with the request that he might not know there was any one to help him row his boat. A few days ago I had a letter from General Armstrong, in which he says: Forsyth is an uncommonly intelligent, sensible, and every way satisfactory pupil; and I have no doubt he will make a good record of himself hereafter. That had a very happyfying influence. I have so often been unsuccessful in my efforts to help others.
