In 1751 a labor school was established in Talbott county, Md., chiefly by the contributions of Virginians, and in which were fed, clothed, lodged, and taught poor children. The providence of the

ordan would come to the rescue, and after quietly passing around and seeing that the harness was all right, the horses seemed to be charmed by him. He had only to take them in hand, and in his quiet tones order them to get up, and up they got and pulled without a protest. We reached the neighborhood of Port Republic, near the Lewis house, May 1st—the weather still showery. On the 3d the skies brightened, and we crossed the Blue Riege over a well-beaten road through Brown's gap, into Albemarle county. On this march one of the headquarter wagons, in which the company's copies of the pay-rolls, made out up to that time, were carried, broke down, and the contents were left at a farm-house near the road. We did not know that they were lost till some months afterwards, when it was time to get our pay. No one supposed that it was a matter of much moment, but a couple of months afterwards a muster-roll was prepared containing all the names of men and officers, and the dates when they w

Sunny side, Albemarle Co., Va., April 6, 1897. To the Editor of the Dispatch . During part of the month of February and during March, 1865, the Second Battalion of Virginia Reserves (boys between sixteen and eighteen, and old men between forty-five and fifty, commanded by the undersigned) were stationed in the City of Richmond on guard duty, having been withdrawn from the lines nearly opposite Fort Harrison, about the 15th of February. On the afternoon of Saturday, the 1st of April, 1865, I went down on a small steamer to Wilton, the home of my friend, Colonel W. C. Knight, and spent Sunday with him and his family. I expected to return to Richmond early Monday morning. During Sunday all was quiet on the north side of James river, but away to the south we could hear sounds th

lark a Richmond boy. Micajah H. Clark was a Richmond boy and was born here, as his mother was before him, who was nee Miss Caroline Virginia Harris. His father was Dr. Micajah Clark, a distinguished physician of his generation, born in Albemarle county, the son of William Clark, who saw service in the Revolution. William Clark was the son of Micajah Clark, the son of Captain Christopher Clark, who patented many thousand acres of Crown lands, and located some of the tracts in what is now AAlbemarle county, near Charlottesville, in 1702-4, and was said to have been the pioneer settler of that county. This is one of the historical Clark families of Virginia, which furnished many legislators, generals and governors of States. Micajah H. Clark was a Hill-cat (as the uptown boys of the city were then known), and his first taste of war was in the battles between the Hill-cats and the Butcher-cats and Basin-cats —a distinctive Richmond war waged with varying fortunes for more than o

he wound in his breast. On the spot where he thus gloriously fell mortally wounded, Colonel Magruder was made prisoner and carried to the hospital in Gettysburg. Here he languished until July 5th, 1863, when his spirit took its flight. He was a member of the Epsilon Alpha Fraternity, and a frater caused his remains to be encased in a metallic coffin, and, with all his personal effects, sent to his father by flag of truce to Richmond, in October, 1863. He was buried at Glenmore, in Albemarle county. His cousin, James Watson Magruder, himself afterward killed on the battlefield at Meadow Bridge, May 11th, 1864, writing from camp near Fredericksburg. August 8, 1863, said: From last information, John now sleeps among those gallant spirits who that day bore our banner so nobly against the ramparts of the enemy on the battlefield in a foreign land. If so, he died with his laurels thick around him. I saw him in Loudoun [county] a short while before the army left Virginia, looking b
