e the munificent grant of your own Virginia by its cession of territory to which jurists said and say it had a valid title; look at the gift made by Maryland, North Carolina's donation of Tennessee, and Georgia's cession from the Chattahoochee to the Mississippi; then examine that outlying range of northwestern territory won and hll to arms to win American Independence, what was the part borne by the Southern States in that Revolutionary struggle? I will answer that it is the glory of North Carolina to have shed the first blood for colonial liberty at Alamance in 1771, and having given her sons to the common cause, she fought on to the finish. Maryland foken over the opposition of the royal governor, sent a representative one thousand miles by land to make known its people's espousal of the common cause; and North Carolina, having met in a voluntary provincial assembly, against the angry protest of its governor, hurried its ambassador to the General Congress. Thus the South, al

n able to confer. If his old comrades who detect material errors in this record will send report of the same to him at Davidson, N C., so that they may be corrected in the proposed volume of sketches, he will be grateful for the favor. The Eleventh North Carolina Regiment was the successor of the First North Carolina Volunteers, the Bethel Regiment. This latter was mustered into service for six months, and upon its disbandment was re-organized for the war as the Eleventh Regiment, North Carolina troops. It was composed in considerable degree of the material of the Bethel Regiment. The reorganization took place at Camp Mangum, near Raleigh, March 31, 1862, by the election of C. Leventhorpe, Colonel; W. A. Owens, Lieutenant-Colonel, and W. A. Eliason, Major. Major Eliason was at the same time elected to the Lieutenant-Colonelcy of the Forty-ninth, and accepted it, and Captain W. J. Martin, of the Twenty-eighth, was elected Major in his stead, and was promoted Lieutenant-Colon

ished I was that he knew me, and he said, I never forget a Twenty-sixth boy. My faithful and unselfish friend, Perk Miller, another Caldwell county boy, who had joined the first company that was formed in Caldwell, had shared every morsel of comfort with me during our long imprisonment, and was my companion still as we joyfully wended our way to our mountain home. A part of this journey was on foot, and although we felt in our hearts that we had only to show our pitiful selves to any North Carolina woman to get the needful food, we both felt like it was begging, and shrank from doing it, so we shared this duty also, taking time about to ask for something to eat, which was always cheerfully given. I was at home one month when Stoneman made his raid through the county and came to Lenoir. I was in the yard in my shirt-sleeves when I first saw the Yankees, and might have made my escape, but thinking they were our Home Guard, I deliberately walked around the house in full view of

t entirely lost. General Johnston's Narrative, and an article published in the Century war papers by General Wade Hampton, descriptive of this battle, will repay perusal. Kirkland's Brigade is especially mentioned with high praise. The army bivouacked the night before the battle, March 18, 1865. without fires, on the wet ground, to prevent the enemy from learning the movement. The next morning Colquitt, Clingman, and Hagood were placed in the line under Bragg, with the brigade of North Carolina Junior Reserves on the extreme left and Kirkland's Brigade in reserve, a short distance behind the Juniors. Soon the battle began with the fierce onslaught under Hardee and D. H. Hill on the right, driving the enemy before them. But the Federals assailed our left with vigor, and General Johnston ordered Kirkland's Brigade to relieve the Juniors on the front line. Our entire division held its ground and repulsed the enemy, but unfortunately General Bragg became uneasy and called upon J

nd that of General Ewell, followed by that of General A. P. Hill, northward to meet the army of General Pope, then advancing along the line of the Orange and Alexandria railroad. Jackson was instructed to cross the Rapidan and attack Pope's advance. Among other consequences of the defeat of General McClellan before Richmond, Federal troops had been drawn to his support from various other parts of the country, and among them was a large part of the force under General Burnside, on the North Carolina coast. These troops arrived in Hampton Roads and lay there in transports. Upon them the attention of General Lee was immediately concentrated. Their movements would decide his. If they sailed up the James to reinforce McClellan, the latter, being reinforced, intended to renew the attack on Richmond, and General Lee must remain there. If, on the other hand, Burnside sailed up the Chesapeake, McClellan, not being reinforced, did not intend to renew his attempt, but the real attack on R

The story of a House which deserters from Stoneman's army occupied and fortified, and from which they sallied forth and Ravaged the surrounding Country—four lives lost in the effort to dislodge Them—the House finally fired and four of the desperadoes caught and Shot— the leader, however, unfortunately Escapes—a thrilling Recital. Professor R. L. Flowers, of Trinity College, read before the last meeting of the Historical Society of that Institution a paper on Fort Hamby—a piece of North Carolina post war history. A native of one of the counties scourged by the miscreants who made the name of Fort Hamby a terror in all the surrounding country, Professor Flowers is well qualified to write its history, and the Observer thanks him for his cheerful compliance with its request to furnish it for publication a copy of his paper. The story it tells so well is one of thrilling interest, and once begun, will be eagerly followed to the end. Fort Hamby. In March, 1865, General Sto

Chronicle, Jan. 7, 1896.] As stated in a former article, there were 474 general officers of all grades in the regular military service of the Confederacy. It may be interesting to know just how many of these were severally contributed by the States comprehended in the Southern Confederation: Virginia—Three full generals, five lieutenant-generals, seventeen major-generals, and fifty-four brigadier-generals-seventy-nine in all North Carolina—Two lieutenant-generals, seven major-generals, and twenty-nine brigadier-generals-thirty-eight in all.
