irection, and that the moral of it all is that we want more renewals and new subscribers. A most highly appreciated memento, in the shape of a cane-head made of wood taken from the house in which Stonewall Jackson was born, has been sent us (through Rev. Dr. A. E. Dickinson) by Mr. J. W. Odell, of Clarksburg, West Va. We return our hearty thanks. Jack White, one of the heroes of Sabine Pass, is not dead, as reported in the extract we published in the October number, but is living at Houston, Texas, hale and hearty, as one of our subscribers there, kindly informs us. By the way we have from a Federal officer who participated in the fight at Sabine Pass a very different version of it from the one we have published. We regret that this, as well as other very interesting articles, was crowded out of this number, but it shall duly appear, and then we hope to have an account from some Confederate participant. other Editorial Paragraphs and Literary Notices crowded out.

Lossing or Pollard as authority on any mooted point. After we have studied the book we propose to give, in a full review, our impressions of this first attempt to blend in authorship The Blue and the Gray. Meantime we wish our friends and brothers—the author—severy success in their venture. anecdotes of the civil war in the United States. By Brevet Major-General E. D. Townsend, late Adjutant-General United States Army (retired). New York: D. Appleton & Co. 1884 This is a very entertaining book, well written by one who was m position to see and hear many things of absorbing interest, and gotten up in the style for which the Appletons are famous. But it would take much stronger testimony than General Townsend has adduced to convince us of the authenticity of the interview he reports between General Lee and General Scott, and General Lee and General Thomas. Nor are we satified that E. M. Stanton was a saint. But we will recur to these and some other matters again. Zzz

two or more batteries, Colonel Thomas H. Carter being in command of the other division of the Artillery of the Second corps), was killed in the battle of the Wilderness May 4th, 1864. Major David Watson, of the same battalion, technically First Regiment Virginia Light Artillery, was killed on the 10th May, 1864, at Spotsylvania Courthouse. Lieutenant-Colonel Robert A. Hardaway had been in actual command of this battalion since August, 1863. After the death of Colonel J. T. Brown, Lieutenant-Colonel Hardaway was, by order of General R. E. Lee, assigned to permanent command, the same order designating it Hardaway's Battalion. As such battalion—Lieutenant-Colonel Hardaway in actual command, Major Willis J. Dance absent, wounded—it was surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse. It is an historical fact, that the last shot of the Army of Northern Virginia was fired by the Third Richmond Howitzers, one of the batteries of this battalion. Very respectfully, R. A. Hardaway. Zzz

matured, we will announce them; but we may say that in the meantime more money will be needed to carry out these plans, and contributions to the fund are still in order. the soldiers' home of the State of Louisiana has been fully organized, with General F. T. Nichols as President, and John H. Murray as Treasurer, and we have received the report for the year ending 1st of May, 1884, which gives a most encouraging exhibit of its affairs. They have twenty-two inmates of the Home, and seem to have made all proper arrangements for their care, and admirable regulations for the management of the Home. Colonel Heros von Borcke, the gallant and accomplished Prussian, who tendered his sword to the Confederacy and served with such distinction on the staff of General J. E. B. Stuart, is now on a visit to his old comrades, and has been received with open arms at Baltimore, Richmond, and at other points. Confederates generally will give him a warm welcome and a hearty greeting. Zzz

part III, ch. VII.] Another fundamental error exposed. Before concluding I will give another blackboard-demonstration of error—as to sovereignty—which is of vital moment. The bottom line of the following diagram A to B is the extent of governing jurisdiction. The Federal and State governments, says Madison, are but different agents of the people. Sovereignty, continues he, resides with the people alone. C is the State agency, D the Federal one. Each acts over the whole ground. Zzz We must predicate agency, and not sovereignty, of these agents, C and D. The people alone are sovereign and are represented by E. They have set two servants to work in the same field. They control both and prevent conflict. The house is not divided against itself. The able writer who said the problem left us by the Convention is to harmonize National and State sovereignty, loses sight of the people—to use Madison's expression. The only sovereignty is theirs. C and D are always agen<
