The battle of Frazier's Farm, [from the New Orleans, La., Picayune, February 19, 1893.] June 29th, 1892. the part taken Therein by Louisiana troops. A paper read before the Louisiana Association of the army of Northern Virginia, February 18, 1893, by Captain John W. T. Leech, Company C, Fourteenth regiment, Louisiana infantry, Confederate States army. Comrades of the Army of Northern Virginia. In writing of the thrilling events which took place around the city of Richmond in 1862, you will bear in mind that thirty-one years have rolled by and that a man's memory, however good, must necessarily have forgotten many things which would prove very interesting if they could be recalled. But the truth of the matter is, I am growing old, and those scenes are rapidly fading away. I wore the gray then, and as the battle of life progresses I am wearing more gray, and this will continue on until that arch enemy of mankind will flank me out of every position and compel a f

Battle echoes from Shiloh. [from the New Orleans, La., Picayune, October 1, 1893.] Misty traditions that Fade before the lights of history. Veterans who fight their battles over again at Jolly Reunions—The narrative Northern and the narrative Southern—Battery a, of the Chicago Light Artillery, and the Fifth Company of the Washington Artillery, of Louisiana. The Picayune of Sunday, September 17, 1893, under the heading of The Northern Narrative, published an extract from the ChicagPicayune of Sunday, September 17, 1893, under the heading of The Northern Narrative, published an extract from the Chicago Evening Post, giving an account of the annual reunion of the Chicago Light Artillery, Battery A, First Illinois Artillery. As at all reunions of old soldiers, a high old time was had, and battles were fought over and discussed with infinite enjoyment. On this occasion, it appears, the Washington Artillery, of New Orleans, came in for a good share of remembrance, for the account says: The boys have plenty to talk about as they get to recalling old times. They discussed their famou

The officer who rode the gray horse. [from the New Orleans, La., Picayune, November 5, 1893.] A stirring episode in the story of Confederate valor. How Major C. L. Jackson won the praise of his gallant foe by his bravery in battle. Out of the musty records of the past, from time to time, there springs to light some hidden treasure or letter, that brings back in all its olden glory the chivalry and daring of the brave heroes of the Confederacy. The number of these precious, yet personal souvenirs, that are hidden away in the hearts and homes of the Southland, will never, perhaps, be known, as they have a personal and sacred value that seems too holy for the possessors to wish to parade them before the public, however important a bearing they may have upon the history of that memorable epoch. In an old scrap-book in New Orleans, the property of Mrs. Fred N. Ogden, the widow of the late lamented General Fred N. Ogden, the writer recently came across an interesting serie

ned] J. E. Johnston. To Charles G. Johnson, Esq. Savannah, Ga., June 19, 1874. Charles G. Johnson, Esq: my Dear Sir—I have attempted the sketch you asked for in your friendly note of the 16th. I assure you that the evidences of your friendship are in the highest degree gratifying; for I love of all things the favorable opinion and friendly feelings of the class to which you belong—the men with whom I stood in battle. Excuse this very rough sketch. The diagram was given in the Picayune. It is more than thirty years since my last effort of the kind. The part of Hardee's left thrown back, is Bate's division. I think your battery was near the angle. In the map in the book, the country road, east of Cassville, is omitted. It is necessary to the understanding of the intended offensive movement. The position sketched was taken in the afternoon for defence, the attack was intended near noon—when Sherman was at Kingston, and Hardee near it. For it, Hood was to march by<
