d for several days at Tupelo, and there I visited most of the commands of Lee's Corps, furnishing them with hymn-books and papers; preached for Brantly's Mississippi Brigade at night by request of Chaplain Hall. The night was cool, but the soldiers around the log fire were quite attentive. The next Sabbath morning preached for Sharpe's Mississippi Brigade, and in the afternoon for Lowry's Alabama and Mississippi Brigades; kindly received by Colonel Abecrombie, Forty-fifth Alabama, and Chaplain McBride, Fifth Mississippi Regiment, and by General Sharp and Chaplain Archer. The soldiers in each command came out in the spoke and wind to hear preaching. The troops began to leave Tupelo on the 19th and all were gone by the 28th. I remained until the last command left in order to distribute all supplies that might arrive. On Sunday, 29th, I preached for Quarles's Tennessee and Alabama Brigades, West Point, Mississippi, and furnished hymn-books and papers for them and Ector's Texas Briga

ver be a manufacturing country without coal in great quantities. After he had finished, I told him we depended on water-power, of which we had great abundance. He said he thought that would not be sufficient, as it was frozen up five months in the year. I set him right about this also. He seemed surprised, but took it all well, better than most professional men would have done. I dined with him, and met a brother of Denison, a man of fortune, who lives at Shotover,—Milton's Shotover,—Dr. McBride, Dr. Hawkins, and some others of the masters of colleges, and Dr. Bandinel. It was a genuinely academic dinner, and things had much less the air of the world than they had at Cambridge, compared with which, no doubt, Oxford is a very monastic place. But it was pleasant and good-natured. Their talk was of books and geology, of the church, and such things.

lburn Minus made a fine Confederate record in the West. He was in Missouri when the war began, to which place he had gone to practice law after his admission to the bar, and entered the service promptly in the spring of 1861, in the Missouri state guards, commanded by Maj.-Gen. Sterling Price. He was elected second lieutenant of Capt. (later Colonel) Frazier's company of cavalry, but was afterward assigned to duty in the quartermaster's department of Colonel Schnable's cavalry command, of McBride's division. He, however, closed the six months service with Frazier's regiment, after having participated in most of the engagements of the Missouri campaign, including the battle of Pea Ridge in Arkansas. He then went into the Confederate service, and as a recruiting officer enlisted a large number of men, both in Missouri and Arkansas. He materially assisted in the organization of Freeman's brigade, and was elected captain of Company C, Fristoe's regiment, Eighth Missouri cavalry, Fre

after describing the preliminary operations, said: While still hesitating in the morning, the enemy were reported advancing and I made arrangements to meet them. The attack was made simultaneously at 5:30 a. m. on our right and left flanks, and the enemy gained the positions they desired. General Lyon attacked us on our left, and General Sigel on our right and rear. From these points batteries opened upon us. My command was soon ready. The Missourians, under Generals Slack, Clark, McBride, Parsons and Rains, were nearest the position taken by General Lyon with his main force. They were instantly turned to the left and opened the battle with an incessant fire of small arms. Woodruff opposed his battery to that of Captain Totten, and a constant cannonading was kept up between these batteries during the battle. Hebert's regiment of Louisiana volunteers and McIntosh's regiment of Arkansas mounted riflemen were ordered to the front, and after passing the battery, turned to the

failed to induce General McCulloch, commanding the Arkansas troops, to unite with him, made a forward movement toward the Missouri river with his Missouri command, directing his march against Lexington, via Warrensburg. There he was joined by Thomas A. Harris, whom he had appointed brigadier-general in the State Guard. General Harris, upon his little staff of three men, had recruited a force of 2,700. Price besieged Lexington with the forces under Generals Harris, Steele, Parsons, Rains, McBride, Slack, Congreve, Jackson and Atchison, and on September 20, 1861, after 54 hours incessant attack, he was successful, capturing 3,500 prisoners, 3,000 stands of arms, 5 pieces of artillery and 2 mortars, 750 horses and $100,000 worth of commissary stores, besides $900,000 in money, which had been taken from the Bank of Lexington by the besieged (and was now restored at once), together with Colonels Mulligan, Marshall, Van Horn, Peabody, Gowen, White and 118 commissioned officers.

las. They soon became exceedingly active. . . Missourians in Arkansas, belonging to the old State Guard, were strongly desirous to revive that organization. Embarrassment on that score was prevented by accepting their general officers—Brigadier-Generals McBride and Rains—into the Confederate service, conditioned upon the approval of the secretary of war. . . . Being apprised that there were large bodies of troops in Texas unemployed, I applied to Brigadier-Generals Hebert and [H. E.] McCullas ordered to take post at Des Arc and report to General Hindman. Buford's regiment of Texas cavalry and Etter's Arkansas battery were ordered to Elkhorn to report to General Rains. Grinsted's Arkansas infantry and the infantry of General McBride's command were to move to Yellville and report to Brig.-Gen. M. M. Parsons. Col. R. G. Shaver was relieved of the command of Shaver's brigade, Roane's division, and ordered to his regiment at Pocahontas. Brig.-Gen. J. S. Roane, in command of

before they could have time to unite. These corps, composed of Price's Missourians, McCulloch's Confederate division, and some Arkansas brigades under Pearce and McBride, had selected Cassville as their rendezvous. Price, leaving the south-western angle of the State, where he had taken refuge, reached that town on the 28th of Jultely. The division of Rains took position eastward of the town, that of Parsons on the south and south-west, while Slack's division, supported by the brigades of McBride and Harris, penetrated into the town and established itself strongly in the buildings which the Federals had abandoned several days before. The battle began at odiers returned to the charge, recaptured the hospital, and drove those who had made a lodgment back toward the river. But this success was not of long duration. McBride and Harris, having considerable forces at their disposal, arrived in large numbers, sweeping before then the handful of men who had for a moment disputed the poss

SubsequentMcBride was arrested some two years ago on a charge of arson for burning the flouring and saw mill owned by a Mr. Kram, of Marietta. Subsequent to his arrest, he agreed to pay five hundred dollars to a lawyer named Green, provided the lawyer would obtain his acquittal. During the trial Mr. Green labored assiduously for the benefit of his client, and had the pleasure of procuring his release.

About twenty-five wagon loads of fugitives from Springfield have reached here, and others are on their way.
