Attempted Sale of the Federal fleet. [from the New Orleans, la , Picayune, Sunday, December 11, 1904. Remarkable episode in the operations on the Mississippi. Desertion of Lieutenant D. W. Glenney, U. S. N., in 1863. Planned to deliver part of the gunboat fleet to the Confederate Officials—Scheme came to Naught—Glenney's escape to Mexico. The attempted sale by Lieutenant Daniel W. Glenney, of the United States Navy, of a portion of the gunboat fleet in the Missippi river to the Confederate authorities, in May, 1863, has not been heretofore fully given to the public. The correspondence which follows gives all details which are attainable. On the 7th of May, 1863, John J. Pettus, Governor of Mississippi, addressed a letter from Jackson to Hon. Jefferson Davis, as follows: Mr. President,—Allow me to consult you on a matter we deem of great interest. A private citizen, unconnected with the army, some four weeks ago conceived the plan of buying out a considerab<

The battle of Shiloh [from the New Orleans, la, Picayune, Sept., 25, 1904.] And the Shiloh National military Park. by Gen. Marcus J. Wright. [See also Southern Historical Society Papers, Vol. XXXI, p. 298, et seq.] General Grant in his Memoirs says: The battle of Shiloh, or Pittsburg, has been, perhaps, less understood or, to state it more accurately, more persistently misunderstood than any other engagement between the National and Confederate troops during the entire rebellion. This is as true now as it was when it was written. Most of those persons who have written of Shiloh on the Union side have confined themselves to discussing the comparative achievements in that battle of General Grant's command, the army of Tennessee, and General Don Carlos Buell's command, the army of the Ohio. Most of those who have written from a Confederate standpoint have confined themselves to the discussion of what should have been the final result should General Albert Sidney Johnst

Southern women in the Civil war. [from the New Orleans, la., Picayune, June 12, 1904.] T. C. Deleon's eloquent tribute to their courage. What they did for wounded and suffering soldiers. The Hospital offered opportunities for heroism. The great German who wrote: Honor to woman! to her it is given To garden the earth with roses of heaven! precisely described the Confederate conditions—a century in advance. True, constant, brave and enduring, the men were; but the women set even the bravest and most steadfast an example. Nor was this confined to any one section of the country. The girl with the calico dress, of the lowland farms; the merry mountain maid, of the hill country, and the belles of society in the cities, all vied with each other in efforts to serve the men who had gone to the front to fight for home and for them. And there was no section of the South where this desire to do all they might, and more was oftener in evidence than another. In ever

In memory of General J. B. Hood. [from the New Orleans, la., Picayune, September 4, 1904.] Tribute to the famous Confederate soldier. A life filled with noble deeds and faithful service. Sketch of General Hood's military career-heroic traits in his character. In Memoriam. note.—Tuesday, August 30, 1904, was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of General J. B. Hood. Sadly and wearily, Eyes dimmed by grief, Thou, who has fought for us With thy blood bought for us, Freedom so brief— Slumbereth now peacefully, Resteth now fair, Could I but have thee now, Soothe from thy furrowed brow All lines of care! Bleeding and aching wounds Counted for naught, They did not pierce thy heart, Injustice's cruel dart Such sorrow wrought. Only the victor is Honored and cheered, But Defeat's martyr must To kind oblivion trust, Misery reared. Yet, where is he so strong, Standing alone, Fighting with Dignity All the Malignity, As thou hast done? Though thou art dead and

Judah P. Benjamin. [from the New Orleans, la, Picayune, March 6, 1904.] Recollections of the great Confederate Secretary of State. Meetings with him in London in 1873—his Unfailing kindness to Americans. In a memorable address delivered a few months ago in Richmond, Va., the Honorable John Goode, in speaking of Judah P. Benjamin, described him as the great. This ascription of greatness to Benjamin has often been made tentatively, but the time is, without doubt, fast approaching when the fame of this eminent man will be universally recognized. Benjamin was one of the most remarkable men that the United States has produced, and the fact that he was a son of Louisiana is one of which the State may be well proud. It was the writer's honor to meet Mr. Benjamin a number of times and to become well acquainted with him in the summer of 1873. At this time Mr. Benjamin was enjoying a most lucrative law practice, and had his office in Lamb's Building, Temple Bar, London. This

Griffith-Barksdaie-Humphrey Mississippi Brigade and its campaigns. [from the New Orleans, la, Picayune, mar. 30, Apr. 6, 20, 1902.] By Captain James Dinkins. The seven days battle around Richmond, in 1862, furnishes a text for study and discussion by critics and students of military science, which probably takes rank ahead of any of the operations of the war. We often hear expressions that this or that campaign was Napoleonic, but in my humble judgment there was more genius in the conception of the plan of the seven days battle, than in any movement Napoleon ever made. A writer in the Boston Transcript several years ago, in commenting upon the different generals of the war, stated McClellan was the greatest general developed on either side, and while he was not always successful, he never suffered defeat. This statement will not be sustained by a single man who served in the army of the Potomac during the seven days battle. General McClellan was not only defeated at Rich

The battle of Chickamauga. [from the New Orleans, la., Picayune, September 11, 1904.] An address delivered before the United Confederate Veterans' Convention in Baton Rouge, September, 1904. By Captain James Dinkins, Member of the State History Committee. [For the masterly address on the Battle of Chickamauga, delivered before the Association of the Army of Northern Virginia, by Colonel Archer Anderson, see Southern Historical Society Papers, Vol. IX, p. 385.—Ed.] I desire, in this necessarily imperfect sketch of the great battle of Chickamauga, to record, as far as I may be able, only the most important features and events, and it is not without diffidence that I have consented to do so. The present war between Russia and Japan has been compared to the war between the States, and the Japanese are accredited with possessing equal strategy with Jackson and Forrest. The Japanese soldiers are being spoken of as the greatest of the age, almost without comparison for d

Sherman's expedition from Vicksburg to Meridian, Feb. 3, to March 6, 1864 [from the New Orleans, la., Picayune, July 27, 1904.] By Gen. Stephen D. Lee. In July, 1863, the Confederacy was cut in two by the capture of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, including the Confederate garrison, composing the army of General Pemberton, which had been used to keep the Mississippi river closed to navigation, and to preserve communication between the States of the Confederacy on the east and west of the great river. At the close of the Vicksburg campaign, the river and its tributaries were almost in full and complete control of the Federal government, being protected so thoroughly from Cairo to New Orleans by the fleet of Admiral Porter, composed of heavy and light gunboats, that it was difficult for even an individual to get across. It was essentially free from annoyances, even of field batteries and riflemen on either bank. About the time of the surrender of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, General J

Featherstone-Posey-Harris Mississippi Brigade. [from the New Orleans, la., Picayune, June 1, 1902.] By Captain E. Howard McCaleb, of New Orleans. On the 16th day of April, 1861, the Claiborne Guards were organized and mustered into the service of the State of Mississippi by Lieutenant N. F. Hawkins, of the Mississippi Rifles. The officers were: John G. Hastings, Sr., captain; A. J. Lewis, first lieutenant; W. H. Hastings, second lieutenant; W. T. Jeffries, third lieutenant; R. Shoemaker, first sergeant, and H. C. Knight, second sergeant. Before the departure of the company from Port Gibson, Captain Hastings resigned, and Henry Hughes, author of Southern Sociology, and classmate of the great French imperialist, Paul Cassagnac, was elected in his stead. How well do I recollect that bright April day, when the ladies of Port Gibson presented to the Claiborne Guards, in Apollo Hall, a beautiful silken flag, wrought by their own fair hands! How our chivalric captain, Hughes, i
