and imposing edifice, but its proprietor (a civil German) was on the point of shutting it up for the present. During the morning I visited Colonel Bankhead, a tall, gentlemanlike Virginian, who was commanding officer of the troops here. He told me a great deal about the Texan history, the Jesuit missions, and the Louisiana purchase, &c.; and he alarmed me by doubting whether I should be able to cross the Mississippi if Banks had taken Alexandria. I also made the acquaintance of Major Minter, another Virginian, who told me he had served in the 2d cavalry in the old United States army. The following officers in the Confederate army were in the same regiment-viz., General A. S. Johnson (killed at Shiloh), General Lee, General Van Dorn, General Hardee, General Kirby Smith, and General Hood. Also the Federal Generals Thomas and Stoneman. By the advice of McCarthy, I sent my portmanteau and some of my heavy things to be sold by auction, as I could not possibly carry them w

conspicuous for their gallantry. Captain Overton, serving temporarily with me, was wounded at Sharpsburg, but remained under fire until I urged him to leave the field. Captain West and Lieutenant T. J. Moore, ordnance officers, discharged faithfully their duty, and rendered important service on the field at South Mountain. Major Archer Anderson, Adjutant, had been wounded in crossing the Potomac, and I lost his valuable services in Maryland. Sergeant Hanneling and privates Thomas Jones and Minter, of the couriers, acquitted themselves handsomely. Brigadier-General Rodes reports, as specially deserving notice for their gallantry, Colonel O'Neal and Major Redden, Twenty-sixth Alabama; Colonel J. B.

p-daughter Constantia add to the girlhood on the boat. Mary Brewster and Susanna White set a shining mark. Mrs. John Carver, her maid and her young ward, Desire Minter—Mrs. Miles Standish and Mrs. Edward Winslow and Katherine Carver have won the love and admiration of all. Mrs. Christopher Martin, who was scarcely known, as she little settlement. The sails of the Fortune had brought them once again a touch of the outside world. The Fortune remained two weeks, and when she sailed Desire Minter chose to go back in her. This little ship did not receive benefit from her name, for fortune proved unkind. She was captured by a French man-of-war, and all taken prisoners for two weeks. If Desire Minter had only written of her experiences as a woman of the Mayflower, her experiences in leaving for an English home, with her war adventure as an extra detail, what material she had, and of what value for the world to read! She would have been a rival historian of Bradford and Winslow.
