Upon this may be found the names of Lee, Jackson and Stuart, of Sydney Johnson, Zollicoffer and Forrest (names we have honored), and someutiful address delivered on the 31st ultimo, at the presentation of the register to the Chapel at Lee Camp Soldiers' Home, and most earnestly request a copy of same, that it may be published and ther

oic charges and repulses by different commands, I have never seen mentioned one battery, viz.: it was organized in Charlestown, Jefferson county, Virginia, in the early part of 1861, by Captain John Chew, with James W. Thompson as First Lieutenant, Tuck Carter Second Lieutenant, and John J. Williams Third Lieutenant, and was assigned to Ashby's (afterwards known as Rosser's) brigade, as a light battery. After the battle of New Hope, Virginia, Lieutenant Thompson was promoted major on Fitzhugh Lee's staff (he was afterwards killed at the battle of High Bridge and interred at Stonewall Cemetery, Winchester, Virginia), Carter Captain, Williams First Lieutenant, and Yancy Second Lieutenant. After our misfortune at Woodstock or Tom Brook, in October, 1864, losing part of our guns, we moved in the vicinity of Staunton, feeling the loss of our guns and being laughed at by our comrades in the cavalry. The men of the battery talked of making independent raids and trying to recapture thei

Terms of Capitulation of the command of Lieutenant-General Richard Taylor. General order, no. 54: headquarters Department Ala., Miss. And E. La., meridian, Miss., May 6, 1865. I. The surrender of General Lee's army, on the 9th of April, and of General Johnston, on the 26th of April, included all Confederate forces east of the Mississippi, excepting the small army under my command, and virtually ended the war, so far as any promise of ultimate success east of the Mississippi was the surrender will be fixed by the respective commanders, and will be carried out by commissioners appointed by them. 7. The terms and conditions of the surrender to apply to the officers and men belonging to the armies lately commanded by Generals Lee and Johnston, now in this Department. 8. Transportation and subsistence to be furnished at public cost, for the officers and men after surrender, to the nearest practicable point to their homes. (Signed) R. Taylor, Lieutenant-General. (

as calmly awaiting orders for the engagement. The battle had opened. I was of the color-guard on the right of J. H. Koger, the bearer of the standard, whose heroism in keeping it proudly in the face of the enemy, and afterwards in bearing it in triumph from the field, where he had narrowly escaped death and capture, became so well known. On my right was Sergeant T. P. Brandenburg, whom you will remember as a peerless soldier and truly imperial spirit. We were not long left quiet. General Fitz. Lee encountered the enemy on our right, and being overwhelmed by numbers it became necessary for us to attack them at our front, to divert their attention from his brigade. General Hampton proposed to lead our regiment. We started out in fine style, and one continued shout arose from the charging column. The enemy now appeared in a black compact line, and at a casual view appeared rather a continuation of the forest. The intervening ground over which we were passing was so crossed and

M., driving him until dark stopped operations. The regiment did not become actively engaged. The enemy bringing up a heavy force of infantry at night, the command commenced falling back at 4 1/2 A. M. on the 1st of April: halting at Five Forks, it proceeded to throw up rifle-pits. The enemy attacked in the evening, first with cavalry, but finally bringing his infantry into action. Every front attack was successfully repulsed, but with Pickett's and Johnson's divisions of infantry and Fitzhugh Lee's cavalry, to oppose thirty-five thousand infantry and all of Sheridan's cavalry, the contest was too unequal. Early in the action Colonel Griggs (with the Thirty-eighth) was ordered from his brigade, and to go to the left of Brigadier-General Ransom, which he did at a double quick. Finding no troops but a few cavalrymen, who left to join (they said) their command, he deployed his regiment into single file, and opened a destructive fire upon the enemy, who were marching in view, to the

ow Tavern, and his story, while in the main correct and not intentionally inaccurate, is, nevertheless, not wholly consistent with actual events. Here is Governor Fitzhugh Lee's account of that battle in which he participated. His narration was made in an address delivered on the 18th of June of the present year when a monument,e moment it was first beleaguered by the hosts of the enemy to the time of its final fall, as it was on the day of the fierce battle at Yellow Tavern. At that time Lee was confronting Grant and his powerful army near Spotsylvania Courthouse. General Butler was pressing close upon the lines near Petersburg, while Richmond nearly stvalry corps was concentrated near Fredericksburg, and on the morning of the 9th marched by Hamilton's Crossing to the Telegraph road, and moving to the right of General Lee's right flank, marched to Beaver Dam station on the Newport News and Mississippi Valley railroad, and from that point by the Louisa or Old Mountain Road, via Gl
