cription on the Wade Tomb, with the following remark on it: The following is copied from a communication of Turell Tufts, Esq.; there is apparently some error in it.--C. Stetson. Major Wade's tomb was purchased by the late Ebenezer Hall, and is now in possession of his children. The old tablet removed by Mr. Hall was of red sandstone, and contained the following inscriptions:-- Here lyeth interred the body of Major Jonathan Wade, Esquire, who departed this life the 24th of November, anno Dom. 1689, in the 53d year of his age.

ieut. W. S. Everett, to Stewart's division. The batteries of Capts. Tyler M. Peeples and Andrew M. Wolihin came with Leyden's battalion from east Tennessee, and in the reserve artillery under Maj. F. H. Robertson, were the Georgia batteries of Capts. M. W. Havis and T. L. Massenburg. The Federal army which appeared before Bragg at Chattanooga was commanded by Maj.-Gen. W. S. Rosecrans, who had gained fame by spirited fighting in West Virginia, by his desperate defense of Corinth against Van Dom, and the stubbornness with which he had refused to consider himself beaten at Murfreesboro. In his army were the Fourteenth army corps, 20,000 strong, commanded by Maj.-Gen. George H. Thomas; the Twentieth corps, 11,000 strong, under Maj.-Gen. A. D. McCook; the Twenty-first corps, 12,000 strong, Maj.-Gen. Thomas L. Crittenden; the reserve corps, Maj.-Gen. Gordon Granger, with 4,000 men, and the cavalry corps commanded by Brig.-Gen. Robert B. Mitchell, 11,000 strong. In round numbers the f

ou desire it, and General Van Dorn will consent, you shall come at once. A command is ready for you, and I shall hope to see your eyes beam again at the command Forward as they did at Shiloh, in the midst of our greatest success. General Lovell is disengaged and might replace you, or I would cheerfully give General Van Dorn any one I could spare. It would also please me to see General Preston along, but I fear to make too great a draft on your command. If agreeable to yourself and General Van Dom you have no time to lose. We only await our train and the capture of the forces at Cumberland Gap, both of which we hope to hear from very soon. Our prospects were never more encouraging. Most respectfully and truly yours, Braxton Bragg. General Breckinridge was eager to go into Kentucky, but said that even if Van Dorn would give his consent he would not voluntarily leave his men in the condition they were, and so advised General Bragg, urging that he be permitted to take wi

the conduct of the commander and his men, so terrible was the effect of every round which he delivered against the advancing lines of the enemy, with a coolness and courage unsurpassed. Our latest order from General Van Dorn directed our line to retire by the Huntsville road. . . . Those that remained of McCulloch's wing, after the battle of the 7th, followed the route taken the previous night by Price; and marching all night, a little before daylight on the morning of the 8th reached Van Dom, and were disposed to the right and left of the line at Elkhorn tavern. Here, upon the renewal of the battle on the 8th, the greater part of the troops remained inactive, while the cannonading on both sides continued, until ordered to fall back on Huntsville. Human endurance could stand no further tax. Some of the cavalry were dispatched to protect the flanks, or, as Colonel Greer expressed it, to keep the cavalry out of the way of the infantry bringing up the rear of the retreating army.

mmand comes up. Ross dropped down behind the stump and I behind the end of the tree which had been felled from it, I with my sword and he with his musket. From his position Ross took three deliberate shots, at one time bringing down one man in the uniform of an officer. After the third shot, and before he had time to reload, our position was charged upon by several men from the works, led by an athletic Irishman, who knocked Ross down and whacked me over the head with his bayonet, saying, Dom ye, and won't ye surrender noo? Come into the breastworks, dom ye, or I'll kill ye! A little Dutchman now ran up at a charge bayonet, and said, By tam! what for you keep on shooting? I kill you! I, appealing to the Irishman, demanded protection. The Irishman, turning on the Dutchman with raised musket, said, I'll knock ye into smithereens, ye dom coward! Go and kill men ye see fighting and leave these men be! We were held in Corinth six days. This last charge was made Saturday morning

ss to be 400 or 500. Rosecrans exuberantly reported that he had defeated an army of 38,000 men with little more than half their numbers; inflicting a loss of 1,423 killed (left upon the field and buried by him), and 5,692 wounded, according to his estimate; and that he had taken 2,268 prisoners, among whom were 137 field officers, captains and subalterns, 14 stand of colors, 2 pieces of artillery, 3,300 stand of small arms, 45,000 rounds of ammunition and a large lot of accouterments. Van Dom retreated to Holly Springs but little disturbed by the pursuit of Rosecrans, who, when he had reached Ripley, was ordered back by Grant, who ordered an expedition to cover his return which went seven miles south of Grand Junction and destroyed the railroad bridge at Davis' Mills. On October 1st, Lieut.-Gen. John C. Pemberton had been assigned to the command of the department of Mississippi and East Louisiana, and he assumed his duties October 12th, Van Dorn remaining in command of the f

gue of Charlestown himself, he became the progenitor of a line of teachers through his grandson, Philemon R. Russell, of whom we hope to speak later on. The little cemetery on Phipps street has preserved from oblivion one other name, that of Mistress Rebeckah Anderson, the only one of the worthy dames of that early period whose name has come down to us. The headstone reads:— Here Lyes Buried ye Body of Mrs. Rebeckah Anderson (Late School-Mistress in this Town) who Died March 4th, Anno Dom. 1743-4 in the 49th Year of Her Age. Close by is the grave of her sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Phillips, the famous midwife, who held her commission from the bishop of London. The name of Rebeckah Anderson, who led the van, and that, too, so far in advance of the great army of female teachers, who since her time have battled faithfully for the cause, ought to be treasured by her sisters of to-day. We give this sentiment: As their number never faileth, so may her grave, hereafter, never lack a

ong trench in the burial-ground. The body of the venerated and lamented minister, with those of his wife and child, sleep in another part of the burial-ground, where may still be seen a rude monument with its almost illegible inscription:— Clauditur hoc turnulo corpus Reverendi pii doctique viri D.

Of the prisoners taken, some escaped during the skirmish, and two or three were sent back by the French officers, with a message to the English soldiers, that, if they pursued the party on their retreat to Canada, the other prisoners should be put to death. One of them, a soldier stationed in Captain Wainwright's garrison, on his return four years after, published an account of his captivity. He was compelled to carry a heavy pack, and was led by an Indian

Active measures were taken at once to transport to the colony large accessions of men, women, children and supplies. Seventeen vessels in all, bearing about a thousand passengers, some from the West of England, but the larger part from the vicinity of London, came over before the winter of 1630. The expense of this equipment and transportation was £ 21,200. So stated in Josselyn's Chronological Observations. But in his Two Voyages [1663] he has the following: The Twelfth of July, Anno Dom. 1630, John Wenthorp, Esq.; and the assistants, arrived with the Patent for the Massachusets. The passage of the people that came along with him in ten Vessels came to 95000 pound; the Swine, Goats, Sheep, Neat and Horses cost to transport 12000 pound besides the price they cost them; getting food for the people till they could clear the ground of wood amounted to 41000 pound; Nails, Glass, and other Iron work for their meeting and dwelling houses 13000 pound, Arms, Powder, Bullet, and Match
