SYMBOLS DESCRIBING THE LOCATION OF MANUSCRIPTS. Following the abbreviation which gives the character of the particular manuscript calendared, will be found a symbol fixing the location of the manuscript in the Archives of the Museum. Where a single letter or com- bination of letters is used, such as "A" or "SM," the reference is to a case in the central collection. The figure following gives the number of the folder in the case. Thus, "B-16" refers to case B, folder 16. Where more than one paper is included in a folder, the number of each paper is given. Thus, "B-37-8" is case B, folder 37, manuscript 8. A small numeral fol- lowing the case letter refers to the serial case, as "B2," that is, the second case in series B. The abbreviations "Va," "Ala," "Mo," etc., refer to the various State collections, while the numerals following give the case or exhibit number. Thus, "NC-247-3" would be, North Carolina collection, exhibit 247, manu- script number 3. INTRODUCTION. Inasmuch as the present vohime marks the beginning of a new venture in the collection of source material relating to the War between the States, it is proper that the nature, need and scope of the undertaking should be stated. For some years students of Confederate history have felt the need of systematic and thorough co-operation in the collection of sources for several reasons. In the first place, in consequence of the death of many participants in the war, numerous collections of papers have fallen into the hands of persons unconscious of their value and unable properly to preserve them. For instance, virtually the entire cor- respondence of a prominent Confederate general was condemned to the waste-heap by his heirs, who did not suspect the character of some of the manuscripts. Fortunately, these were rescued and have since been properly repaired and examined; but instances of this character are not infrequent. Other manuscripts have suf- fered a fate hardly less disastrous, being left to molder in garrets or to rot in cellars, until they have become practically illegible, and are useless to the historical student. Furthermore, the private papers of leaders of the Confederacy are scattered throughout the South in such a manner as to make them virtually inaccessible to the average student. The investi- gator who wishes to collect material regarding Jefferson Davis, for example, will find his letters in at least a dozen libraries and archives, not to mention the fact that numerous important papers are in unknown private hands. Again, while various Confederate leaders, military and civil, have published their memoirs, there have been but two attempts at systematic collection. For some thirty years the Southern Historical Society has issued an annual volume of Papers, rich in valuable material, but constituting, in their entirety, a very small portion of the manuscripts extant in the South. The second Confederate Calendar. 7 attempt was the publication, by the United States Government, of the Official Records of the War of tfie Rebellion, including an enormous mass of material. While eminently fair to the South, and truly monumental in character, the importance of the Records may readily be overestimated. The very magnitude of the task rendered close attention to minor details practically impossible, and the plan of the work necessarily excluded much that was vital to the history of the Confederacy. Accordingly, in the spring of 1907 a plan was agreed upon, whereby this important undertaking was confideid to the Con- federate Memorial Literary Society, in view of the unusual facili- ties possessed by that organization, and to its previous success along similar lines. The Southern Historical Manuscripts Com- mission was therefore formed, and was instructed by the Society to outline some working plan for the collection of material and to make a beginning in the publication of new records. The Commission believes that its operations should not be confined to the period covered by the war, but should take into consideration the years immediately preceding, and the period of reconstruction following the war. In dtealing with material re- lating to the ante-bellum period, it was disclosed that much might be done in collecting sources on two important subjects — State Rights and Slavery. The monographs which have appeared on the former of these subjects show what may be there accom- plished, and it is believed that further study of the doctrine in other States will be equally successful. The printed material for this subject can be obtaiined in most large libraries of the country, but private manuscripts of leading men in the various States can be secured only with the greatest difficulty. As to slavery, adequate material cannot be had at present for the study of either its political, economic or social aspect. Even the laws of slavery, state and municipal, have never been thoroughly codified, and the "comparative method" employed by Hurd has received little attention since his day. The economic side of slavery is even less understood. A glance at the most recent general work on slavery will show that the present results on the subject are based on no more trustworthy authorities than census returns and the observa- tions of hasty travelers; but a careful writer has demonstrated what light may be thrown on the subject by an examination of 8 Confederate Calendar. sources which are essentially local. It is hardly probable that all the records of plantation finance have been destroyed, and the publication of the actual receipts and expenditures of half a dozen farms would throw much light on the larger subject. The Com- mission proposes to make an extended search for records of this character, and to publish such material as is collected. It is evident that many problems await investigation in con- nection with the war period. In the first place, material on the actual formation of the Confederacy is sadly lacking, and the inner workings of the Montgomery Convention "await investiga- tion. One particular class of possible sources suggests itself in this connection. The members of the Convention and df the Pro- visional Congress must have written many letters to their families and friends. If any of these can be recovered, they may give important information on obscure points, as did the Cobb letters which recently appeared in the publication of the Southern History Association. Again, material on the later legislative and executive history of the Confederacy has been greatly neglected. As regards the former, some attempt should be made, first of all, to secure some connected and accessible reports of the debates in the Confederate Congress. It is true that the more important debates in the House of Representatives, and most of the debates in the Senate, were behind closed doors; but despite this fact, a collection of the reports of newspaper correspondents and of letters of Congress- men would appreciably add to the existing information regarding many important enactments. Material on the workings of the Confederate Cabinet and on the movements of the presidential and of the anti-administration parties, might likewise bring valuable facts to light; and a close study of the executive de- partments would certainly yield valuable results. Another great field of investigation, and one in which the Commission proposes to work, is social life during the period of the Confederacy. The patient sufferings of the non-combatants, the quiet demeanor of the slaves, the temper of the press— these were foremost among the forces which contributed to the main- tenance of the Southern armies in the field, and are deserving of close analysis. The materials for such study are obvious and can be gathered m great numbers by concerted eflEort. Confederate Calendar. 9 In connection with military operations, it must not be supposed the Official Records contain all the existing material. There are, for example, several gaps in the correspondence there published, notably in the executive correspondence of 1861-62, and in the confidential communications to the President from generals in the field. It is perhaps useless to hope that these losses may be recovered, even in part ; but occasionally a missing paper is found. Certainly no effort should be spared to make an exhaustive search. Moreover, the Official Records do not contain adequate ma- terial on the organization of the military bureaux of enrollments, conscription, ordnance, subsistence and the like. It is submitted that material should be collected regarding these bureaux, since a thorough knowledge of the operations of at least some of them is essential to a correct understanding of any campaign. Ordnance transportation, for example, in the Pennsylvania campaign of 1863, and Subsistence in the Appomattox campaign were hardly second to any other factors in determining the final outcome. In like manner military topography demands attention, and an effort should be made to accumulate more war maps. The atlas published with the Official Records was a most important addition to the material on military operations, but it contained comparatively few Confederate maps. Others are known to exist, and should either be reproduced or placed where they may be readily consulted by investigators. Nor should the history of particular commands be neglected. It is a truism of military history that the esprit de corps of an army depends on the spirit of each particular command, and the previous career of victory or defeat of even a single regiment may sometimes be intportant. Viewed in this light only, the labor involved in writing the history of a particular brigade, for in- stance, may be well spent, if the only result should be to determine the exact strength and spirit of the command at a critical time. The materials for this class of investigation are not to be found in the Official Records, though they certainly exist in private hands. Finally, material should be collected for military biography. It is useless to emphasize the importance of an intimate acquaint- ance on the part of the investigator with the personal character- istics and methods of the great generals of the period ; only 10 Confederate Calendar. through their private as well as their official papers, can these be disclosed. In connection with the subject of reconstruction, the Commfs- sion believes that emphasis should be placed upon social and economic problems and conditions, and it therefore intends to collect material on these subjects. The principal political papers relating to reconstruction have already been collected and printed in accessible form. In thus outlining the subjects upon which it proposes to collect material, the Commission would not intimate that these are the only matters that should be treated; on the other hand, it is im- possible to foresee the direction that future research will pursue. The Commission merely intends, in the above outline, to indicate some of the more important aspects of the subject that remain to be considered. With these aims in view, then, the Commission believes that its work should be, first, to locate, examine and report on large or inaccessible collections; secondly, to procure originals where possible or accurate copies and to deposit the same in the library of the Confederate Museum, Richmond, Virgjinia, where they may be consulted by all students; thirdly, to publish exhaustive reports of particular collections, when deemed sufficiently im- portant. The Society realizes that this work will require many years, and that its success at any time depends on the support of all persons interested in Southern history. But relying on the loyalty of the Southern people, the Society appeals to them to deposit their papers in the fire-proof Museum, where they may remain as a lasting memorial of those whose deeds they record, and where, at the same time, they are assured early publication and distribution to historical students. Representitig as it does, no particular State, but standing for the entire South, the Museum seems the most appropriate place for the collection and preserva- tion of Confederate papers. Certainly without some such system of co-operation as that proposed, the unpublished records of the Confederacy will be lost beyond reclamation in the course of an- other generation. In carrying out the further instructions of the Society, the Commission begins its work by the publication in this volume of Confederate Calendar. n the manuscripts already collected by the Society and now in the Confederate Museum. These represent the gradual accumula- tions of a decade, and while there have been notable gifts of large collections, the greater part of the papers have come in a few at a time and from many different sources. This Calendar lists all of these manuscripts, with a few excep- tions that should be noted : Mrs. Varina Davis gave the Museum a type-written copy of the executive letter-book of President Davis, but as most of the important papers therein are printed, and as a movement is already on foot to publish the full cor- respondence of Mr. Davis, it was not thought expedient to deal here with this material. Again, the letter-book and order-book of Brigadier-General W. N. Pendleton, now in the Museum, have been but briefly mentioned in this volume. These manuscripts are extensive and extremely valviable, and their publication has been deferred to a later time, when it is intended to issue them in their entirety. Finally, the Florida collection contains som^e important papers and records of the Lake City General Hospital and of Dr. A. S. Baldwin, surgeon in charge there ; but in view of the fact that a large number of medical papers appear in the present volume, it was thought proper to defer detailed report of this material to a subsequent date. In like manner, papers in the Museum that are also printed in the Official Records have not been entered here, except in some special instances, and then with references to the full text as printed. With the above exceptions, however, this report contains an abstract of all the manuscripts received at the Museum prior to September i, 1907. Some of these may appear unimportant, or at most, of small value, but the editor has not felt called upon to pass final judgment on every paper, and has preferred to make brief mention of all, in order to avoid the risk of omitting any- thing that might be of use. Where any considerable number of papers clearly belong to- gether, they have been grouped in sections under a specific title, but the bulk of separate or individual papers will be found under the caption Miscellaneous Manuscripts. To facilitate rapid ref- erence, each section is prefaced by a brief statement, giving the ■ general content of the papers. The arrangement -of each collection varies somewhat with its character. The Shea papers, for ex- 12 Confederate Calendar. ample, are so connected as to form virutally a continuous narra- tive, and for that reason are arranged chronologically, as is the Harrison Loan ; but the Miscellaneous Manuscripts are arranged under the names of the senders of signers, and by date under the various names. Thus, in referring to the letters of T. J. Jackson, all letters and orders signed by him are grouped under his name chronologically. Reference to the index will show at once all letters addressed to, or endorsed by him. Occasionally a number of unimportant papers, such as receipts, returns, etc., are cal- endared under the name of the person to whom the receipt was given or the return was made, though the names of the signers of such papers will be found; separately in the index. Again, entry is under the name of the person addressed when the sender is unknown. The form of calendar-entry has followed closely the model suggested by the American Historical Association, which is now generally accepted by students; and the abbreviations descriptive of the character of the papers are an extension of those proposed by the same body. As many manuscripts are undated, it has devolved upon the editor to supply the proper date when possible. This can some- times be done by the contents of the letter ; and where this readily appears, the date has been placed between brackets by the editor, without comment. Where the date can be ascertained only ap- proximately, or where it is doubtful, an interrogation point has been added; and when the date is supplied from evidence that does not appear in the context, an explanatory foot-note has been added. In quotations, the peculiarities of orthography and diction have been preserved throughout; but where the meaning of the original is not clear, a corrected or suggested form has been placed in brackets. Brackets have likewise been added wherever a word, letter or figure has been interpolated by the editor, and parentheses are employed only where they occur in the original It has been thought best to adopt a uniform system of date and title abbreviation, following the generally accepted military usage. Where such title or date appears in full, the standard abbreviation has been used without comment, but where other abbreviations occur, they have been indicated by brackets. Thus, where the Confederate Calendar. 13 term "General commanding" is spelt in full, the abbreviation used is that commonly found in such a place, "Genl. comdg."; but where the original reads "G. comdg." the change has been noted as "G[enl]. comdg." Throughout the text, foot-notes will be found with more or less frequency. The editor has supplied these purely as an ex- planation of statements made in the text, without comment of his own. While these notes will be of little value to the trained investigator, it is believed that they may be of some service to the general reader. Part Two of the Calendar contains a bibliography of some Confederate publications. This list does not pretend to any de- gree of finality or completeness ; but the Commission has thought wise to publish the titles of the more important books printed during the period of the Confederacy in order to call attention to them and also to secure references to other titles and editions from investigators and bibliophiles. Additions to this list are earnestly requested, as the Commission contemplates the publication of an extended bibliography at some future time. It has been thought best to preserve the terms "octavo" "duodecimo," etc., in describ- ing the books listed, inasmuch as measurements in centrimetres convey no accurate impression of the size of the volume to one unfamiliar with the metric system. The editor wishes, finally, to express his indebtedness to the many friends who have assisted him in the preparation of this edition. Miss Baughman, Chairman of the Committee, has faith- fully and graciously discharged her onerous duties. Misses Maury and Harrison, of the Confederate Museum, gave the editor every possible courtesy in the preparation of the material; Miss L. T. Munford and Mrs. W. N. Hamlet, of Richmond, kindly made accurate copies of lengthy documents, and Miss K. P. Stiles afforded him every facility to the examination of the splendid DeRenne collection. To Mrs. E. C. Minor the editor owes a special debt of gratitude for introducing him to the work and for supporting him throughout. Professor C. M. Andrews, of Johns Hopkins University, has given generously of his time and experience, and has saved the editor from many mistakes of form and of judgment, while the other members of the historical faculty of the same University have been equally kind. Dr. H. J. 14 Confederate Calendar. Eckenrode, archivist of Virginia, has advised the editor upon many technical points, and Dr. Allen W. Freeman, of Richmond, supplied the notes to the medical papers of this volume. Finally, the editor's father has been his unfailing source of information for facts regarding the history of the Confederacy. A word of thanks should be adided to the printers, Messrs. Whittet and Shepperson, and especially to Mr. Robert Whittet, Jr., for their care and courtesy in the performance of their task. D. S. F. Johns Hopkins University, 4 February, 1908.

PAPERS RELATING TO THE MEDICAL DEPART- MENT OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES ARMY. In the fire which followed the evacuation of Richmond, the Surgeon- General's office was burned/ and with it, all the archives of the department, including hospital-returns, con- solidated reports and histories of important cases.^ In con- sequence of this loss, material on the medical history of the army is scarce and widely scattered. The collection of this material is demanded not only as a phase of the history of medicine, but as a factor in the general history of the war, since hospital management, field sanitation, prophylactic measures and surgical technique were important considera- tions in determining the effective strength of the army.^ The Museum has been fortunate in securing many medical records, and from them the following selections are made. The letter-books of the Front Royal and Liberty Hospitals are especially important, inasmuch as Surgeon Blackford* 1 The building was located at the western end of Bank street, and was also used by the War Department. In it the Virginia Convention of 1861 had held its early sittings. " For reference to some of these cases, see Proceedings of the Army and Navy Surgeons, infra, p. 37. s Rhodes, Hist. U. S., v. S, pp. 186-87, gives the losses of the Southern armies from disease as about 164,000, as compared with 224,586, in the Federal armies. See also T. L. Livermore, Numbers and Losses in the Civil War in America. (N. Y. and Bos., 1901, 2nd ed.) * Benjamin Blackford, M. D., was a native of Virginia, and was born in 1834. He was Surgeon-in-chief at the Front Royal, Va. General Hos- pital until its abandonment, and was then appointed to the General Hos- pital at Liberty, Va. His commission as Surgeon dates from June, 1862. After the war Dr. Blackford practiced his profession in Lynchburg, Va. i6 Confederate Calendar. entered in them all orders and circulars from the Surgeon- General's office. From these, and from the correspondence, many valuable facts regarding hospital life may be gathered. It should not be supposed, however, that the conditions at Liberty were altogether typical, since a hospital constantly filled with the newly wounded, and situated in an impover- ished country, could hardly maintain the standard of this essentially convalescent hospital. On the other hand, the de- tails of hospital routine were probably the same everywhere. The abstract of the proceedings of the Army and Navy Surgeons gives much information regarding the lines of re- search and investigation followed by the leading surgeons of the army and navy, while the selected miscellaneous papers illustrate the relations of the medical department to the army.° I.

Frequent cases of fatal results from its effects were reported in newspapers before the war and a popular dread of chloroform was thereby aroused, which did not die out for decades. See F. W. Hewitt, Anesthetics, (3rd ed., Lond., 1907), pp. 11, 14, I47- '2 Some of the methods of treating tetanus at that time were extra- ordinary and irrational; and even now treatment is rarely of any avail except in the mildest cases. Osier asserts (Practice, 6th ed., p. 259) that tetanus was comparatively infrequent as a result of wounds during the war between the States. ^^ That is, series of December 26, for which see infra, p. 42. ^* The term "idiopathic" tetanus has passed out of medical literature with the knowledge of the cause of the disease.

This number is hardly sufficient to supply the sick in their localities with medicines & instances of suffering — perhaps of a fatal nature — have occured in consequence of inability to procure the usual remedies. The Education and experience necessary to fit the Apothe- cary for his calling is of such a character that his duties can- not be delegated to unskilled persons, and that the difficulty of procuring and bringing Drugs to our Towns is greatly in- creased, & that in addition to the preparation of Physicians prescriptions, it now devolves upon the Apothecary to manu- facture many articles which formerly could be purchased ready for use. It is moreover uncertain at what hour the Apothecary may be called upon to furnish his Medicines. We therefore respectfully ask that the few Apothecaries who are now exempted by the Confederate Government may be allowed to devote their whole time and skill to the per- formance of their important duties, in which the comfort and safety of the sick are so seriously involved."

This collection consists of 983 original telegrams relating to military and naval operations around Richmond and Petersburg, Va., during May- September, 1864. The more im- portant messages are printed in the "Official Record" f but the importance of the campaign, and the controversy w^hich is still on regarding all of its movements, call for the publica- tion of all papers which may shed light on events.^ The tele- grams copied below relate chiefly to brigade movements, to the blockading squadron, and to conditions on the Rich- mond defences. The collection contains a large number of ordnance mes- sages, a few of which are here printed, and a mass of personal despatches, besides the military and naval material. Appa- rently these are the originals of telegrams sent from Drewry's Bluff, or thereabouts, by J. D. Potts. They were acquired by the late Hon. W. W. Henry, and deposited by his heirs in the museum. Many of them are the original autographs of lead- ing Confederate generals. The copies below are full. 1864, May 7, n. p. A. Gracie, Jr.,^ Brig.-Genl., to Maj. T. O. Chestney, A. A. G.

S., was paroled as a prisoner of war, by agreement between Judge Robert Ould and Lt.-Genl. U. S. Grant/ and appointed agent to supply Confederate prisoners of war. By the agree- ment, one thousand bales of cotton were to be shipped by the Confederate authorities from Mobile to New York, and there sold by Genl. Beall. ^ This collection contains his copies of the correspondence on the subject between Oct. 1864, and Sept., 1865, including his orders and instruction; his commu- nications with Head-Qu-arters ; the negotiations for the ship- ment and sale of the cotton ; and the letters from prison com- mittees chosen to issue the supplies. The "Official Record" ^ contains many papers regarding the shipment of the cotton which are not in Beall's collection, nor did he apparently keep copies of all his communications with Head-Quarters; but the letters from the prison camps appear to be new, and con- tain many valuable hints as to the condition of prisoners. Papers which are printed in the "Official Record," and also found in Beall's copies, are entered merely with reference to the full text.* I. Correspondence with Head-Quarters. II.

Confederate Prisoners of War, having been duly elected by our comrades to "re- ceive and issue supplies on their arrival," (as per your circu- lar dated 'New York City, December 9th, 1864,' having thoroughly inspected the prison, beg leave to make the fol- lowing report: Number of prisoners in Barracks, Dec. 14th, 6106. Number of prisoners in Hospital, Dec. 14th, 629. Total, 6735. Of this number, there are, reporting themselves citi- zens, 350. Leaving the whole number of enlisted men, 6385.

A" majority of us have been prison- ers since November, 1863, and many even for a longer period ; a greater portion of us are from the extreme South, and en- tirely cut off from all home supplies — hence, the great demand for clothing; but, great as it is, we are forced to suggest a change of over shirts in addition. We assure you that, in making the above estimates, we have not been unmindful of the expense and inconvenience our Government is subjected to in carrying out their arrangements, and have made them as low as, in our opinion, the necessities of the men will admit. Provisions. "The diet now issued to the prisoners is composed of the following articles and quantities, viz: Fresh or Salt Beef, in- cluding tongues, livers, hearts and bones, 14 ounces per day, which, when cooked and issued, will not average more than six ounces to the man; Soft Wheaten Bread, when weighed fresh from the bakery, 16 ounces per day; Corn Bread, (infe- rior quality.) when fresh, 18 ounces per day; Hominy, 2 ounces per day; also, a small quantity of Vinegar and Salt. No Bacon or Pork has been issued to us since July last. The foregoing list comprises everything that is issued to us with the exception of Soap, of which we receive a sufficient quan- tity. "You see, from the above, that the quality and quantity are deficient. Especially is the list deficient in vegetables: so much so, that a large per cent, of the prisoners are suffering from scurvy. You see, also, that no fat is issued, except the small amount that is attached to our beef. This subjected us to no inconvenience during the summer months ; but now, during the extreme cold of this climate in winter, we feel much the need, and suffer for the stimulating and warming properties of meat containing fat. Our diet, confined as it is to so few articles, and such small amount of each, is pro- ducing, in many instances, torpidity of the hepatic system, and consequently torpidity of the bowels, with the long catalogue of symptoms attending that departure from the law of nature. This could be entirely remedied by issuing vegetables pos- Confederate Calendar. ug sessed of anti-scorbutic properties, which, while relieving us from the dreadful scourge of scurvy, would at the same time effectually counteract any tendency that salted pork or bacon would have to keep alive in our systems the germs of disease already there ; Vegetables would not only counteract this ten- dency, but a sufficient amount would free us entirely from its ravages. We would respectfully, but especially, call ]|fOur attention to this fact, as we have suffered much from scurvy, and many of our number have fallen victims to it. It is true that we have been permitted, within the last month, to pur- chase vegetables from the prison sutler; but prices are so high, and so few prisoners have money, that comparatively little benefit is derived from the privilege. Our condition and com- fort would also be enhanced to a great degree by the addition of Sugar and Coffee. In fact, we need the stimulating proper- ties of Coffee or Tea, to support us against the rigors of a climate so much colder than the one to which we have been accustomed. "In addition to the quantity of food we are already receiv- ing, we think that the health and comfort of the prisoners de- mand the following: "Rations of Coffee and Sugar ; 4 ounces Bacon or Pork per day; 4 ounces Flour; Rations of Navy Beans. "This additional quantity, together with a few vegetables, would restore to the men the health and vigor they possessed last winter when abundant rations 'of the articles named were issued to them by the United States Government. Medicines. "If not incompatible with the arrangement that has been entered into by the two Governments, we would call your attention to the fact that a small supply of medicines is much needed in the prison. There are many articles of medicine needed by prisoners when in the incipient stage of disease, which they are, under the present arrangement, entirely cut off from. Owing, often, to the crowded condition of the hos- pital, and to the fact that the prison is visited only once a day by the Surgeons, and to other causes, men are debarred the advantages of early treatment, when a little judicious 120 Confederate Calendar. attention, and a small amount of medicine properly admin- istered, would save the prisoner much suffering, and often life itself. We think the health and comfort of the prison would be enhanced by "depositing a small lot of drugs inside, placed at the disposal of Confederate physicians, of whom we have some, judged competent to prescribe and dispense. Should this suggestion meet with your approval, and that of the Federal authorities, we will forward to you a list of such medicines as are believed to be necessary. Tobacco. "The comfort of the prison would be much improved by the addition of Tobacco, as it is out of the power of many, who are inveterate chewers and smokers, to procure it. "In the foregoing, we have given you a statement of what we consider our actual necessities. We need not assure you, General, that we experienced much satisfaction, mingled with emotions of gratitude to our Government, when we learned that those wants were likely to be supplied. Hoping that the articles needed will soon arrive, with all the necessary in- structions from yourself." Endsd: L. S. 3^-14-1. "Respectfully forwarded with the following remarks. The ration issued to Prisoners of War is as follows 10 oz Pork or Bacon ; 14 oz. Fresh Beef ; 16 oz Flour or soft Bread ; 14 oz Hard Bread (in lieu of Flour) ; 16 oz Corn MeaT (in lieu of Flour) ; 12^ lbs Beans or Peas ; 8 lbs Rice or Hominy ; 4 lbs of Soap; 3 qts 'Vinegar; 3f lbs Salt, to 100 rations. — Sugar and Coffee or Tea will be issued to the sick &c. — ^The quality of the ration is exactly the same as issued to the troops of the Garrison, no distinction being made at all. The increase of 4 oz on Bacon and Flour as recommended in the within statement would increase the ration to two oz more than is issued to the troops of this Garrison. The scurvy patients have been always separated, and put in a Barrack by them- selves, and vegetables issued to them, and allowed to be sold to them by the Prison Sutler on the Recommendation of the Surgeon in Charge, this system has been in force many Confederate Calendar. 121 months. The question of Medicines being issued to them in Barracks has been tried and found a failure, as it only tends to waste, and if a patient found sick in Barracks is allowed to Doctor himself, instead of being immediately taken to the hospital, the spread of disease would soon take place. — The call of a Surgeon once per day has reference to those sick in Quarters. — The charge of crowded accommodations in the Hospital cannot be sustained, as there are accommodations here for 900 sick; and the sick Report only shows 629, and most of those are the late arrivals from Price's Army. — The Corps of Surgeons here comprises One Surgeon and Eleven Assistants, there is neither a lack of Medicine or Attendance and the Hospitals Dep't has attained a celebrity for the splen- did manner in which it is conducted. — The Prisoner's Hos- pital especially challenges admiration from all."

JOURNAL OF CHAS. E. LINING, C. S. S. SHENANDOAH. This volume contains the daily journal of Chas. E. Lining, Past Asst. Surg., C. S. N., kept during the entire cruise of the Shenandoah. It adds little to the present information re- garding the chief events of the long voyage of the cruiser, but gives many interesting side-lights on the conditions un- der which the cruise was made, the character of the crew, the personalities of the officers — in a word, it gives a care- ful and graphic picture of daily life. The statements regard- ing the discussion as to the disposition of the ship are of especial interest, as are the comments on the threatening in- terning of the "Shenandoah" at Melbourne. It has been thought expedient to make daily entries from this record, even when there is "no news," in order to show the exact position of the ship day by day during what was one of the most memorable cruises of the war. Lining was a native of South Carolina, and served in the United States navy on the "Cyane," until i860. Returning then to America, he resigned and joined the Confederate navy, with commission as Asst.-Surgeon. From his "Cyane" journal, his movements can be accurately followed until 1862. No record has been found however, in which he is mentioned, until he is listed in the prospective crew of the "Shenandoah." A few hints in his journal seem to indi- cate that he was in England a portion of this time.^ MS. pp. 173. 25. Oct. 18, 1864.

The officers visited them there, and presented many interesting souvenirs to the daughters of the great navigator. Among them Lieut. D. -M. Scales gave Miss Eliza H. Maury the flag of the ship, which he had himself taken from the halliard when the crew had learned of the over- throw of the Confederacy. For some years it was not deemed safe to en- trust the flag to the vicissitudes of custom's inspection, but it was finally irought to America and has been quite recently presented to the Confed- erate Museum. — Note of Mrs. las. R. Werth to the Editor. 18 The printed list, O. R., Naval, s. i, v. 3, p. 792, does not include the names of the captains of captured vessels or the tonnage of the prizes. These are given in Lining's list. He omits, however, the Adelaide, cap- tured and bonded Nov. 12, 1864, though he mentions its capture in the Journal.

In this section are included all manuscripts in the archives of the Museum, which are not of sufficient extent to be classed by themselves or which have no connection with other papers listed. These manuscripts have been derived from many sources, but four particular collections should be mentioned. The Taliaferro papers represent practically all the papers and documents preserved by Major-General William B. Taliaferro, of Virginia, in his career as Colonel, as Brigiadier-General in Jackson's Division, as District Commander in South Carolina and Florida, andl as Commander at Charleston. Many interesting facts are disclosed in them regarding army conditions anid movements in which General Taliaferro participated. The Stuart collection belonged to Brigadier-General George H. Stuart, of Maryland, and also contains many valuable papers. The large mass of manuscripts left by Colonel J. Thompson Brown is of importance for the move- ments of the artillery in the Army of Northern Virginia ; while, finally, the De Renne collection includes many ori'ginal letters of prominent Confederate leaders. Many letters from private soldiers are calendared at length, among whith should be men- tioned the Routt and Baughman collections. The former of these, from a private of Longstreet's corps, are truly remarkable speci- ments of unconscious literary instinct. Baughman's letters are of value for movements in the Valley of Virginia and for events during the Petersburg Campaign. The circumscriptions of space have compelled brief reference to many papers which will, at a future time, be printed in their entirety. Confederate Calendar. 165 1862, June 19, Hd.-Qrs. E. P.

The President instructs me to forward to you the following directions on the various points embraced in your correspondence — 1st. In regard to our escape?! prisoners. Place in the hands of some person in whom you have confidence such sum of money, not exceeding ten thousand dollars, as you may deem necessary, to be applied solely to the purpose of assisting such of our soldiers as may need aid to return to the Confederacy. No money is to be supplied to any that do not wish to return here. II. In regard to Dr. S. The President does not wish any more money advanced to him, nor does he desire that any enterprise of any kind be undertaken by the Doctor. We are determined not to permit any just complaint to be made of breach of neutral rights by our authority or sanction. III. Pay over to the gentleman referred to in my despatch of 30th December last, twenty thousand dollars to be used by him at his discretion in our service, and to be accounted for by him. Should he hereafter need more money, inform him that I will send it to him on being notified of his wants. IV. Reserve in your hands such sum as you may need to pay your expenses home. 58 Alexander H. H. Stuart was a leader of the old Whig party in Vir- ginia, was in Fillmore's cabinet, and a member of the Virginia Convention of 1861. See hia "Recent Revolution ..." (Rich., 1866). Confederate Calendar. 191 V. Remit the entire remainder in your hands to Mess. Fraser, Trenholm & Co. of Liverpool, to be placed to my credit, in a separate account to be called "Secret Service Ac- count." Make this remittance as soon as possible and let me know the amount of it, as we are in pressing need of these tunds abroad for important service there. VI. Procure for us a complete record of Burley's case that we may make it the basis of oificial action — (from its begin- ning to the final judgment in Appellate Court.) VII. Return to Confederacy as soon as you can. Your own discretion must be exercised as to the best mode — I would however suggest Havana, thence to Matamoros by neutral vessel, thence through Texas. This route is long, but IS the only one that can be considered entirely safe. I believe this covers all points. I am necessarily brief in order to conceal this despatch more securely — As soon as you receive this, publish in N. Y. Herald an advertisement for one week, as follows: For sale : °^acres of Illinois prairie lands. For descrip- tion, price and terms, apply by letter to N. O. DONALDSON, Chicago, 111.

[Personal.] Your Kind letter received — I did not answer fully by tele- graph — the idea that I was to resign was based on a letter written to some of my generals asking if they sanctioned the repeated statements by their friends that my movements from Murfreesboro were disapproved by them, and that the enemy was in full retreat at the time— said in that if I was deceived in them, would retire without a regret-^some of these gene- rals did not meet my expectations — indebted to them for fail- ures of Wednesday and Friday evenings on the enemy's left flank — they find themselves responsible for various failures and wish to saddle me with the responsibility for these before ^^ See infra, p. 368. 196 Confederate Calendar. the official reports set the matter right — among them are men who possessed my confidence and owe me all in life — if this goes so far as to impair the confidence of the army or my con- trol of these generals, the cause will suffer irreparably, and I had better retire, at least for a time — I must say there is no man here to command an army — ^the one who aspires to it** "is a good drill master but no more except that he is gallant. He has no ability to organise and supply an army, and no con- fidence in himself when approached by an enemy" — personal good wishes — cavalry is behind the enemy — I hope to hear good reports from them soon. 3 p- A, L.

With regard to the fuze igniter I proposed, so as to give both the advantage of the flame of the igniter, no matter how well it would act, it is clearly impossible to have them made for use, & bence I have paid little attention to it. I have now enough brass plugs to last a year, & they can- not be altered, & the shells are made of such hard iron as to prevent drilling. The tumbling of the new 3-in. is obviously [due] to want of centering the case — It is heavier on one side than another. By having the band sawn in four places, & reducing the length it will be practically far better than the present one. The drawing I still think is all right, but the half-skilled me- chanics destroy the whole design.

You thus see the Fuzes are well adapted for 3 Inch Rifle with copper cup shell, with the Iron cup the escape of gas so disturbs the leaden discharges as to cause frequent premature explosions. I hope to obviate this with Iron cups by reduc- ing the weight of the discharges, as I have done from 250 grs. to 150 grs. It acts as well with the Napoleon as with the Par- rott. Let them be used with 3 Inch & copper cup, if prema- ture explosion occurs in Parrott guns. By pressing with the thumb on the lead [load?] it is easily seen whether there is any danger in using an equivalent amount of pressure in inserting the fuze in the shell. You may stand on the fuze pressing in the direction of the axis and fail to explode, & yet explode it by tfirowmg it on hard ground. Let me know of the detects & 1 think I can ov-ercome them.

"My Dear Cousin, You see I retain a lingering fondness for the Confederate way of doing things, in taking a half sheet of paper to write on. I have not replenished my desk as yet, and this is my last half sheet. I received your letter a few days ago, after Mrs. Hurdle left. Has she arrived safely? Did you receive ^=* This lady was a daughter of Dr. J. L. Burrows, a leading Baptist divine of Richmond. No apology need be made for printing this letter at length. It is correct as to facts and a remarkably graphic description. Dr. Burrows' residence was close to the Capitol Square, the City Hall, and other public buildings. Hence the intimate account of events at these places. Compare Baughman's description of the night of April 13, 1861, supra, p. 185. 250 Confederate Calendar. no letters from me before you left Gordonsville ? I wrote two or three, and once enclosed a big letter from Mr. S. In pass- ing, I might as well say that I have lost sight of Mr. S. I can tell you nothing of him, thereby relieving your mind and get- ting rid of him at once. If you hear from him, tell me all about him, yourself and affairs generally. We R. people have grown calm somewhat. The young ladies keep themselves quietly at home, doing nothing to expose themselves to insult ; and in all cases declining controversy with the U. S. Officers, which I heartily approve. The question is closed for the present, and no lady ought to permit a discussion at all, be- cause they have the advantage of success and law, and it is not a fair contest. For my own part, I tread my own path, utterly ignoring them. I do not seem to see them, careful only not to expose myself to insult. I hardly dare venture a description of the first few days of April, but will attempt to give you an idea. Sunday, the 2nd, was one of those un- usually lovely days that the Spring sometimes brings, when delicate silks that look too fine at other times seem just to suit; when invalids and convalescents venture ovit in the sunshine; when the churches are crowded as never before. So it was on this Sunday. I have never seen a calmer or more peaceful Sabbath morning, and alas ! never a more confused evening. During service messengers tiptoed into the churches after prominent military and civil officers, and when the congrega- tion were dismissed, everybody asked, 'What is it?' but no one could tell. Presently there were rumors that Gen. Lee's line was broken, and the enemy had reached the R. R., and Richmond must fall, etc., etc. We ladies were not contented except in the yard, and all were in the street with troubled faces. Major Williamson came to prepare to leave; then, one by one, the gentlemen hurried up with orders to leave that night. Then Mr. Davis, oh, so bowed and anxious, came, and when he told us he feared Richmond must be evacuated by midnight, the truth was forced upon us. We turned to our rooms to prepare those who were to leave. Mrs. Williamson gave herself to a grief which was terrible. All through that long, Confederate Calendar. 251 long night we worked and wept and bade farewells, never thinking of sleep; in the distance we heard the shouts of the soldiers and mob as they ransacked stores; the rumbling of wagons, and beating of drums, all mixed in a confused medley. Just before dawn explosions of gunboats and magazines shook the city, and glass was shattered, and new houses crumbled beneath the shocks. Involuntarily I closed the shutters, and then everything had become still as death, while immense fires stretched their arms on high all around me. I shuddered at the dreadful silence. Richmond burning and no alarm. It was terrible. I cannot describe my feelings as I stood at a window overlooking the city in that dim dawn. I watched those silent, awful fires, I felt that there was no effort to stop them, but all like myself were watching them, paralyzed and breathless. After a while the sun rose as you may have seen it, a great, red ball veiled in a mist. Again the streets were alive with hurrying men and women, and the [cry] of 'Yankees' reached me. I did not move, I could not, but watched the blue horseman ride to the City Hall, enter, with his sword knocking the ground at every step, and throw the great doors open, and take possession of our beautiful city; watched two blue figures on the Capitol, white men, I saw them unfurl a tiny flag, and then I sank on my knees, and the bitter, bitter tears came in a torrent. May 7th — A week has flown since I wrote the last page, and I have picked up another half sheet with the determination to finish my letter to-night. I was just trying to describe the scenes of the 3rd of April. About eight o'clock, after some thirty Cavalrymen had taken possession of Richmond, hoisted their flag, etc., the Artillery came dashing up Broad street, posi- tively the fat horses came trotting up that heavy hill, dragging the cannon as tho. they were light carriages, the trappings were gay, and I commenced to realize the fearful odds against which our gallant little army had contended. Then the Cav- alry thundered at a furious gallop. We haven't been used to that, you know, and it startled us; indeed I imagined that there never was such riding before, unless at Bull Run. Then 2C2 Confederate Calendar. the Infantry came playing 'The Girl I left behind me/ that dear old air that we heard 'our brave men so often play; then the negro troops playing 'Dixie,' and they certainly were the blackest creatures I ever saw. I am almost inclmedto the be- lief that they were a direct importation from Africa. Then our Richmond servants were completely crazed, they danced and shouted, men hugged each other, and women kissed, and such a scene of confusion you have never seen. Imagme the streets crowded with these wild people, and troops by the thousands, some loaded with plunder from the burning stores, whole rolls of cloth, bags of corn, etc., chairs, one old woman was rolling a great sofa ; dozens of bands trying to drown each other it seemed; gorgeously dressed officers galloping furi- ously about, men shouting and swearing as I never heard men do before ; the fire creeping steadily nearer to us, until houses next to us caught and we prepared to leave ; and above all, inconceivably terrible, the 800,000 shells exploding at the labor- atory. I say imagine, but you cannot; no one who was not here will ever fully appreciate the horrors of that day. I have heard persons say it was like their idea of the judgment day ; perhaps it may be. So many shells exploding for five hours would be fearful at any time; the heavens were black as with a thunder cloud, great pieces of shells flying about, oh! it was too awful to remember, if it were possible to be erased, but that can not be. By night things quieted down ; there were brigade headquarters in the house ; so we were protected from stragglers; and the oppressive stillness and darkness (there was no gas) was as fearful as the confusion had been. Pa and Ma have both been sick from the excitement. Ma is better, but weak. Pa continues feeble.^'*" It seems so strange to say Pa is feeble, but he has lost 20 lbs., walks slowly like an old man, and is completely broken down ; all his friends advise him to take a trip to the country, and I hope we shall get him ofif soon. He was always so hopeful, that the suddenness of the change prostrated him. Howard is here, paroled, and con- nected with the two papers; Times and Bulletin. We had a number of sudden marriages last Sunday. An order being ^^^ Dr. J. L. Burrows. See supra, note 158. Confederate Calendar. 253 issued Saturday, that after Monday, all persons marrying must take the oath before procuring licenses, there was consider- able confusion created among certain Confederate ofificers, who were looking forward to marriage in the Spring: Such walking was done on Saturday to get licenses then, and such fixing up of old white dresses; Pa married Morton Wortham and Alice Thomas on Silnday night to two N. C. gentlemen, and two other couples since. There were said to have been 20 marriages in town that day. But if you are as tired of reading as I of writing, you are glad to see the end of the sheet. Tell Carroll B. that we received his letter, and are greatly obliged for his kind invitation, but my coffers are dry ; I have not one cent, and no prospect of any unless I go to work. You all don't understand how poor we are here, not even a friend to borrow from, for all are alike. Give much love to Mrs. G. and thank her for her kindness to Mr. F. Love to Carrie B, Lizzie, Hattie, Armistead, your mother, Mrs. H, etc. Write soon to Cousin Mary. P. S. Don't let a Yankee see this. P. S. Mr. Fontaine is still in prison ; please write to him.

We have all suffered "very much from the vile Yankees" — lost home and property in Norfolk — second son disabled for life by wound at Manassas — oldest son "debarred the light and air of Heaven and kept under Yankee rule for nearly a year and a half; truly I have cause to hate them and I do."

The Board will be sworn, will have power to summon witnesses, will keep a record of its proceedings, will give an opinion in each case and will be careful to conform to the requirements of Genl.

"The attention of all Examining Boards is called to the following instructions received from the War Dept. : 'When the board shall be of the opinion that the officer is clearly unfit to perform his legitimate and proper duties, or is careless or inattentive in the discharge of the same ; the report should be separate and complete as to each case ; show- ing the order under which it acted ; that the officer was pres- ent before the board, or notified to attend, and giving the evi- dence taken in the case and the examination of the officer if one was made. Should the unfitness of the officer to perform his legitimate and proper duties proceed from physical disability, the char- acter of that disability as to performance should be shown. In the examination of an officer for promotion by seniority to fill a vacancy, the Board will consider as an element in their 322 Confederate Calendar. inquiry, the reasonable probability of improvement on his part, so that though he may be at the time unfit for promotion to a higher office he may not be clearly unfit to fill his present position. Should the board desire to test the officer's knowledge of tactics practically, the result of their observations and the military exercise performed, should be properly stated. The Act of Congress does not require, when the decision of the board is favorable to the officer, that anything more than the decision should be forwarded. Each board can, therefore, include in one report, all the cases it has passed on favorably. As many vacancies may be created by the result of these examinations, it is desirable that the names of subalterns and enlisted men, deserving promotion, should be furnished by the board, that the vacancies may be filled by those who are most entitled and will promote the efficiency of their respec- tive organizations. The authority vested in Brigade Commanders by Par. VI, General Orders No. 43, Adjt. & Inspr. Genl's. Office, 1862, is limited to promotion by seniority when competency is not questioned.' "">• D. S.

In pursuance of instructions from the War Department the following regulations are published for the information and guidance of the Army. II. The exportation of cotton, tobacco, rice, sugar, mo- lasses, and naval and military stores from the Confederate States, or into any part of the Confederacy occupied by the enemy, except under the regulations of the President, is pro- hibited by law. It is therefore ordered that none of the ar- ticles above enumerated be permitted to pass the lines of this army on the way to the territories of the United States, or to any part of the Confederate States occupied by the enemy, without permission under the authority of the Secretary of War to transport the same. III. Such permission shall be exhibited by the person in charge of the goods to the commissioned officer commanding the pickets at the place where it is desired to pass the lines and the officer shall examine the same, and if they conform in quantity, kind and description with the permission, they shall be allowed to pass, unless the officer shall have been otherwise instructed. In every case where the carrier has a proper permit, such assistance and protection as it may be possible to afiford him consistently with other duties, will be given by those officers to whom he may apply. IV. Should no permission under the authority of the Sec- retary of War be exhibited, or should the goods be greater in quantity or different in kind and description from those mentioned in the permit, the commissioned officer command- ing the picket will take possession of the same, and of the vehicles and teams, or the animals used in conveying the same, and of any slave employed therewith, and deliver them with a detailed report of his action in the premises to his commanding officer, who will turn over the goods and other property seized, to the nearest marshal or deputy marshal oi the Confederate States, taking a receipt for the same, setting forth the quantity, kind and description of the property and person or persons from whom the same was taken, and shall Confederate Calendar. 325 forward said receipt, together with the report of the officer making the seizure to these Head Quarters. V. In the execution of the foregoing regulations, no waste, spoliation, damage, or injury of any kind shall be done to the property, nor shall it or any part of it be disposed of except as above directed. All seizures or examinations will be made only under the supervision of the commissioned officers above mentioned, who will be responsible for the prompt and safe delivery of the property as directed."

Order herein enclosed, and to say that it is de- sirable that it shall be executed without letting it become generally known that there is such an order, or that the traffic referred to in it is allowed. It would defeat the object of the Department if the enemy became aware that the trade referred to was assuming systematic form. The Genl. comdg. directs me to say that he thinks the object of the order can be satisfactorily accomplished, if you will communicate it to the brigade commanders, with a caution not to give publicity to it, and direct them to cause general instructions to be given to the pickets to stop any wagons, animals, &c., laden with the prohibited articles that may attempt to pass the lines, or that may be found en route within their commands, and report them at brigade Hd. Qrs. The brigade commander will then be able to see whether the carrier has a proper passport, and otherwise cause the order to be executed without an undue publication of it. He will also see that there is no unwarrant- able interference with the goods, and give such assistance and protection in proper cases, as he can consistently with his other duties. It is the object of the authorities to encourage the importation of supplies by the means indicated, and you will appreciate the importance of concealing the fact that the trade is carried on under its sanction. The trade itself must be known to the enemy, but those engaged in it will probably 326 Confederate Calendar. be able to manage that difficulty if they appear to be engaged only on their private ventures."

'Sir:— I have received your letter of the 15th inst., making two enquiries concerning the recent law of Congress, relating to re-enlistments. To your first enquiry, I reply, that in the call upon any State, for its quota for the common defence, the Volunteers CONiFEDERATE CALENDAR. 343 from that State who enlist for the War, will be considered as forming a portion of said quota. To your second enquiry, I reply, that such Troops, as are re-enlisted under the recent Act of Congress, are forces raised by Congress, by virtue of a plain provision of the Constitu- tion. The re-enlisted Regiments are authorized by the law to elect their Field Officers; and it is not supposed that any objection will be made in any quarter, to an enactment so clearly within the power of Congress.

Smith brought it from Lexington and I got it from him as a loan to the Howitzer Battalion. I obtained another from the Armory and assigned one to the second and the other to the third Howitzer Company. The Gun belonging to the third company opened the fight at Bethel, and is the piece wanted by Genl. Richardson. I think I would let it go and get an- other in its place. It will be kept as a trophy at Lexington with suitable inscriptions, and .notwithstanding Genl. R.'s confidence in the company I think that it will be less liable to the accidents of war at Lexington than in the service. I am not to be Governor as you hope. That office will be embraced in some log rolling distributions of the various of- fices about to become vacant.'*" I do not desire it, preferring infinitely the gentlemanly ease of private life to the care-worn feverish existence of the Politician. I want nothing in the shape of office. Upon resigning my post of Secretary I felt it my duty to report for service in the field not because I stood in need of the salary or desired command for its own sake, but because I thought it right to render such service as might be in my power. They referred my letter to the At- torney General, to try and get me out of commission, and failing in that I was informed after a delay of three weeks that 1 might take my choice between Echol's brigade or one pro- posed to be formed under Humphrey Marshall. Not thinking it right to displace Echols or the acting Brigadiers' Wharton and McCausland, and not desiring to care a command out of Humphrey Marshall's brigade, which had not men enough S88 See Richardson to Gorgas, infra, p. 375. 389 William Smith was elected, for whose career, see J.

I regret that I can do nothing for the cause, but I have the satisfaction of knowing that it is not my fault. Having lost a part of my wife's fortune in the South by the careless- ness of a trustee, I shall be pinched to make both ends meet, and I have accordingly converted my basement diningroom into a law office and gone back again to the bar. I feel entire confidence in my capacity to get along and find the burdens I have now mere trifles compared with those under which "I grunted and sweated" while in office. I hope that this wretched war will soon wear itself out and that'our old Rich- mond society may flourish as of old. It must be confessed that at present the social advantages of the Metropolis are few and far between. Can't you run down and see us, I can give you genuine tea and coffee and a wee drop of liquor."

Randolph, formerly of the Howitzers, I have to say that with all respect for that gentle- man and for the natural feeling of attachment of the company which has it in charge, it is nevertheless my duty to insist upon its return — I have no option, acting under instructions of the Governor and the Board of Visitors of the Virginia Military Institute. The piece is invested with peculiar interest to the State and the Institution from the fact that it was the first gun of the war fired upon the enemy in Virginia, and from other interesting antecedents. It was loaned to Capt. Randolph as a matter of personal favor by Genl. Smith, the superintendent, together with the '»» Cf. supra, p. 279. 376 Confederate Calendar. i2-pdr. Bronze Howitzer of a peculiar cast, a part of the Cadet's Battery upon the express condition that the pieces should be returned when called for.-^It was not a military transaction between the Confederate and State Governments, but between individual ofificers: — one of whom, Genl. Smith, had no authority to make the loan. A breach has, as you know, been made in the Cadets battery by the Revd. Genl. Pendleton having carried off, in defiance of orders, and lost to the enemy, one of the Howitzers. This loss is irreparable. Allow me to say, that under the circumstances, it would afford me the greatest pleasure to meet fully the wishes of Col. Brown, for whom I entertain the highest respect and esteem, and of the gallant Company of his regiment, whose attachment to the piece is so natural and so honorable to them. All that I feel authorized to do is to consent that Col. Brown may retain present possession of the gun, upon his pledge to return it when called for — I feel this to be a respect due to him and the Company, which may be safely accorded, since I have no shadow of apprehension that the enemy can capture it from them. At the same time I trust and believe that our gallant troops will have conquered a peace, before it will be needful for the piece to be turned in. Col. Brown must un- derstand however that it must finally be returned to the mili- tary academy of the State, where with the other pieces of artillery which have been loaned for the service of the Con- federate States it will be preserved, with an inscription desig- nating the battles in which each one of them has been used against the enemy. I have only the history of the Parrott gun to and including the battle of Bethel and Col. Brown will greatly oblige me by enlarging it to the period when the piece shall be returned to the state.^*' I am. Colonel, with high respect and regards, very truly yours" Copy. B-35-I.

Taylor, conveying information from you of the critical condition of the garri- son at Vicksburg. I proceeded immediately to this point, on the road I met Lt. Cunningham with your despatch of the 26th June. I find it impossible to do anything from this side for the relief of Vicksburg. When Gen. Taylor with all the disposable force of the District was ordered opposite Vicksburg I believed much would have been achieved. Gen. Taylor was instructed to spare no exertions in throwing supplies into Vicksburg. His efforts were vain, the main ob- jects of the expedition, the relief of Vicksburg was unaccom- plished. Gen. Taylor reporting it impossible to do anything more, returned to Alexandria, proposing to conduct in person the operations opposite Port Hudson. I approved of Gen. Taylor's course, as the troops were not withdrawn from op- posite Vicksburg, but were left under the command of Maj. Gen. Walker, and as Gen. Taylor's presence was needed be- low, and as a communication had just been received from you announcing the investment of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, stating that you were arranging for the relief of the former place and calling upon me to do all that I could for the re- lief of the Garrison of Port Hudson. At the time of Gen. Taylor's arrival here, the force con- centrated at his disposal numbered about 7000; operating in the swamps of the Mississippi, sickness has reduced them to less than 4000 effective — The enemy here, reinforced and are prepared and on the lookout. The relief of Vicksburg from this side which Gen. Taylor with his force found impossible, is with the means now at my command absolutely imprac- ticable. I enclose you a copy of a communication on this subject from Gen. Walker. I have taken steps for communi- cating with Gen. Pemberton, and for throwing in a supply of caps which I hope will prove successful; I have written him that he can expect no aid from this side, that his sole hope is in cutting his way through the enemies line, that he 39^ Confederate Calendar. must by sending out information determine the day when by a simultaneous attack of both your forces on same point, the garrison may be extricated; that on his information, I will in advance make some demonstration, with the hope of drawing to this side a portion of the investing force. Any escape of the garrison by the river is I believe impracticable, it, with the character of the Peninsula opposite, is an insur- mountable obstacle to success. Finding nothing is to be done opposite Vicksburg, I have ordered Gen. Walker to occupy a point above Lake Provi- dence, which, while his flanks are protected, and his retreat secured, offers advantages for interrupting communications on the river." A. L. S.

"Sir In compliance with your instructions in regard to opening Telegraph Offices at Secessionville and Battery Haskell, I have communicated with Mr. Jas. W. Kates, Genl. Supt. of the Harbor Defence Telegraph Line and am requested by, him to say that if requisition is made through him or to Department Hd. Qrs. direct, he will immediately upon receiving the order proceed to do as you desire. We have wire sufficient to do the work and can probably procure the necessary Instruments for those offices. The greatest difficulty under which the Supt. labors is in getting the services of competent operators. The line at present and for some time back has been very BOS For Wilson, see C. M. H., v. 6, pp. 453-54- 432 Confederate Calendar. short of capable Telegraphist so much so that at each station one oper has to do the work and watching of three. The refusal on the part of the Government to pay the same sal- aries paid by the Telegraph Companies caused this state of things. As over half of the operators quit finding that they could not 'sustain themselves on the amount paid while cost of living, &c., was increasing. The demand for good opera- tors throughout the Confederacy is great and on the increase and they pay from 2 to 300$ salary per month on those civil lines, according to position and expenses. As long as the military lines will not pay as much as the civil lines this — difificulty will exist, more particularly as the labors on this line in point of night as well as day are so much more labori- ous and if anything the importance of correct and faithful service being rendered, competent men are more needed here, and men of small experience would be of little avail and might do our cause a serious injury. You asked me this A. M. about learning men and making them competent — I will an- swer the question by saying that the Supt. has given a fair opportunity to new beginners under Gov. auspices (Signal Corps of Savannah) and in but one instance they had to be returned to their positions for want of a thorough knowledge of the business. Some it's true learn to read and write by Telegraph in an incredible short time, but the mere knowledge of being able to manipulate does not fit him to take charge of an instrument, and a much longer time is necessary than one not familiar with the business would think. Causes con- tinually arising from the elements, &c., may exist and prevent the working of the lines, that Experience and a thorough knowledge of atmospheric Electricity and the governing laws of Electricity, can only remedy, and if such should be the case an incompetent man would do you no good when you would most want the services of the Telegraph. The position of afifairs with us demand men of capacity because they are needed at once. I have taken the liberty of making these remarks, which are somewhat irrevolent to the subject matter with the hope that you might deem it ex- pedient to make some suggestions to the Dept Hd Qrs in / / Confederate Calendar. 433 order to procure additional aid on the Government Tele Line &c.

Since our City has been beseiged, there has not been any Corn ground on individual account, and none brought to market for sale, in consequence of the interruption of our Roads by the Raiders. We deem it proper to state, that our millers when grinding, on toll for individuals, sold the toll meal, at $10 pr. Bushel, and in one or two instances it has been given »08 For Wright, see C. M.

We hoped the vegetable crop would have afforded great relief, but in that we are dis- appointed, as the late drought has all most entirely destroyed the crop. We trust that since our Roads have commenced nmning again, that the receipt of corn will be sufficient for you to allow us to purchase such quantity of the Toll meal as can be spared without detriment to the Army.

W. W. Townes, Mayor. July 28, 1864. A. S. -Endsd: i: "Off. Chf. C. S., ist Dist. Va. Petersburg, Va. "Respectfully refd to Lt. Col. Cole, Chf. C. S., A. N. Va. Under instructions from the Chf. of this Bureau, no toll in kind is allowed millers at this Post, but the value of same commuted. I know that the statement made by Mr. Young is in accordance with facts and that the poor of this city to a considerable extent are suffering for and in want of bread. I would therefore suggest that author- ity be given me to allow the millers here to retain the toll in kind of meal three days out of every seven, during the month of August, to be sold at rates not to exceed the terms herein mentioned, and exclusively to the needy, the issuing of same to be immediately under the direction of the 'Board of Supplies.'

Many of these poor people have been driven from their homes and have lost all of their supplies — their gardens have been destroyed by our own troops in many cases — many have been deprived of all means of support from the stopping of operation in many of the factories of the city. The case seems to me to deserve a favorable consideration. I believe it can be granted without . ... ..... injury to the Government. The amt. asked for in one month, supposing corn meal was issued to the troops each day, would not exceed one day's ra- tions to. the army and I recommend that the suggestion of Major Tannahill, C.

S. placed the following endorsement on a letter of Genl. Braxton Bragg, directing, by the order of the Presi- dent, that in future the millers grinding for this Bureau, in this city, should not be allowed to sell their toll meal to the poor of the city, but should burnish the whole product of their mills to the Gov't. The argument then used was independent of seasons, ripening crops or facili- ties of transportation. 'Resp'y refd. to Sec. of War. The judgment of the Pres'd't that the meal now allowed to Messrs. Haxall & Confederate Calendar. 437 Crenshaw as toll, shall be appropriated to the use of Gov't as a military necessity, can be executed; for while the contract protects the toll from impressment, a clause in it provides for the purchase of the toll, at a price fixed by appraisers selected by the two parties to the contract. Such will be greatly to the interest of Haxall & Crenshaw, for they have sold their toll to citizens at a price half that ruling in the market, but in my judgment, the ab- straction of that amount of bread-stuff from them will be injudicious, while not adding materially to the re- sources of Gov't, for: ist: The poor are greatly aided by the liberality of the firm employed by Gov't, and 2nd, the people must live, and what would be brought to them here from the south and from other portions of this state, would be available for collection by our agents, and its collection by them would just so much diminish the de- mand for transportation from the south. This is merely a consideration of quivalents, but the moral consideration, that the Govt, will is auxiliary to the wants of the poor, is of value, and is effected without any expense to Gov't. I resp'y suggest to the Sec. of War that he endeavor to sustain his own decision previously given, as sounder than any other less matured.' "C. G. S. can see no difference between the two cases. He has no alternative plan of supplying poor of Peters- burg, to suggest, and remits the question to the Hon. Sec. of War, for his directions." L. B. Northrup, C. G. 5. Aug. 4, 1864. A. S. 6. "Com.

The heirs of the late George Shea, Chief-Justice of New York, have deposited in the museum those papers of that emin- ent lawyer which relate to the trial of Jefferson Davis. In conjunction with Charles . O'Conor, also of counsel for Mr. Davis, Mr. Shea began correspondence with the friends of the prisoner in July, 1865; and this continued, without intermis- sion, until the hearing of the motion to quash the indictment. These papers, as preserved by Shea, consist of autograph copies or drafts of letters written by him, together with the originals of letters sent him by other persons connected with the defence. The file is not complete, but the preparation of the defence, the gathering together of evidence and the plans for the betterment of Mr. Davis' condition can be followed somewhat in detail. The lack of information on some essen- tial points is doubtless due to the fact that important matters were decided in personal interviews between counsel, while, at the same time, they were careful not to express themselves freely in writing from a fear that their letters might be intercepted.^"* S09 Published material on the Davis trial is not abundant. Davis speaks of it briefly in his Rise and Fall, v. 2, (N. Y., 1881), and Mrs. Davis gives some facts in her Jefferson Davis, v. 2, (N. Y., 1890). Doddiniiis Jefferson Davis (Phila., 1907), gives a similarly brief account. Gen. Bradley T. Johnson prepared an elaborate Report, which is, unfortunately, very rare. C- M. Blackford's article. The Trials and Trial of Jefferson Davis (Rich., 1900), is an excellent review of the trial from the standpoint of an able lawyer. He has little to say, however, of the preparation of the defence. George Shea, in an article in the New York Tribune of Jany. 24, 1876, which was reprinted in the So. His. Soc. Papers, v. i, pp. 316-325, and published separately as Jefferson Davis: A Statement concerning the Imputed Special Causes ... (Lond., 1877), gives an excellent summary of the preliminary proceedings. 440 Confederate Calendar. 1865, May 27, "On Steamer Clyde." Mrs. V. C. Clay to Hon.' Ben. Wood. My Dear Sir, The circumstances of my husband's voluntary surrender to the U. S. authorities are well known to you. You will pardon me if I add a line explanatory. Mr. Clay was en route to Texas when he first saw the astounding proclamation. He retraced 175 miles and presented himself to Gen. Wilson's H. Qrs. at Macon/'^^" Mr. Davis and party arriving next day. We were all sent via Atlanta and Augusta to Sav. There we Embarked, as we tho't for the scene of trial, Washington. After anchoring in Hampton Roads for five days and nights, Mr. Clay was taken to Fortress Monroe, and I left aboard ship without a single male acquaintance, and under guard. I meant of course to go to Washington to engage counsel for my husband, and assist him in every and any manner pos- sible. Judge my surprise to learn that I cd. not even land to see the prison, nor cd. I go anywhere, but back to the South! Nor for days were we permitted any communication ashore, nor even to see a paper. But we were boarded by two women, a Maj. and 4 guards, and thoroughly searched, cabin, bag- gage, and person, wh. you may imagine amazed me, a poor private lady , passenger, who accompanied her husband by permission of Gen. Wilson, without order or restriction. But prisoners must expect and endure indignities, and I do not not complain. The object of this hasty note is to invoke your kindly aid in behalf of my dear and noble husband. I rejoice that you know him however slightly, for you cannot have failed to discern his sterling and admirable character. His Honor is far dearer to him than life, and he could not live under the foul brand of assassin. That you, and indeed the great majority of the northern people believe him innocent and ignorant of the means and manner of the heinous crime imputed to him I cannot doubt."*^ But as some shadow of "1* Clement C.

All I ask for him, is the "full, fair, and impartial trial'" he expects to receive and I "shall fear no evil."

I will immediately set to work and obtain monies to defray all expenses, so do not hesitate to make any outlay necessary to summon witnesses, etc. Meantime, I know you will by strong but moderate ar- ticles, exert all your influence to bias public opinion favorably towards all the prisoners now held by Federal power. My husband's opinion of you, as often expressed to me, is my only apology for this inelegant note. We are in a transport ship, without any comforts, and this the 12th day! I have agonized in seasickness until to-day, when being at anchor, I have risen and written you this incoherent letter. Pardon error and may God bless you forever for any aid He may put in your heart to give me at this hour. Do write me a line to Macon, Geo. under cover to Richard Cuyler and greatly oblige me.

"My dear Sir, Your kind letter of the 3rd inst"^ was duly received, but must have met with a good deal of detention upon the road, perhaps in the "circumlocution office" for a copy of Mr. O'Conner's letter to me which you enclosed, and which he had dispatched through a channel which I suggested to him, reached me some days earlier. I forwarded Mrs. Clay's letter [to] her immediately, I am very sure it will be very welcome. Please believe I feel more deep gratitude than language is granted me to express for [y]our disinterested desire to serve Mr. Davis. 518 See infra, pp. 448-49. "0 Cf. O.

Measure my thanks by my forlorn condition, and helpless womanhood. I perceive that you concur with Mr. O'Connor in the belief that Mr. Davis may not have a trial at all, but eventually may be pardoned, or transported, or something so. Perhaps a long imprisonment. The prospect is not inviting. I inferred from Judg Bingham's reiteration of the charge that Mr. Davis was accessorj' to Mr. Lincoln's assassination, made in his closing argument against the prisoners before the 'What is it?' that the government would certainly proceed to indict- ment, and trial for that crime.^^^ Perhaps it is proposed to pardon him this punative crime because the real assassin slain before a confession of his accomplices could be made, did not kill Mr. Lincoln's alternate. I have little patience with the false accusers, or their hollow pretences of magnanimity. If he is saved from an inquisitorial tribunal, it is only because the people would not have submitted to such a violation of the dearest right of a freeman. The manacles showed the animus of the government.""' Again, if Mr. Davis is tried for treason, and should happen to prove by that absolute in- strument the constitution, that the federal government could not coerce a state, because all the powers not ceded to the federal government in the Constitution were reserved to the States, Mr. Johnson would find it awkward to pardon him for (if you choose to so characterise our secession) an inexpedient assertion of an undeniable right.

Mr. Stanton's assertion that he knew of no ill treatment is disgusting. What is his standard of decency.

He was there offered coarse food, such as a healthy man in constant habitual exercise might become hungry enough to consume but which a sick man, immured in a dungeon could not eat. I know this is so because Genl. Miles told me that he received soldier's rations and would be allowed to buy nothing. The destination of his helpless family was kept a secret from him as from them — ^And when mental and physical agony exerted themselves in impatience, he was manacled like a felon or a madman. The opinion of the. world compelled Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Stanton to feed his body better, but his mind is given over to their tender mercies. In looking forward to his future, I pray that 'the wicked may cease from troubling' but I know that if they do not very soon cease, 'the weary will be at rest,' and then the strength and glory of my house will have passed away, but, 'as thy day is, so shall thy strength be,' watching, and praying as one whose only hope is in the God of justice, and love, I know he doeth all things well,' and though he slay us yet will I trust in him.' Ever since Mr. Davis' incarceration I have been detained here — I was brought here against my will, had never been here before, and knew no friend to whom I could turn. Left with no other support than the small sum which the cupidity of the enemy, our captors had failed to ferret out and steal — I have been forced to spend as much in one month as I could have lived upon in a cheap place for a year or until Mr. Davis' case could be decided. Denied the comfort of telling him how his baby prisoners are°^° or of sending one word of love to him. When his life was apparently hanging upon a thread, the government had not the humanity to send me notice of it, but every agony of his was published accompanied with jeers of the valiant editors, and hawked about the streets in extras. — I applied three days ago to go to Augusta to see 528 See Craven, op. cit.

If not relieved from the coerced visit to Savannah I fear I shall bury one of those precious ones who seem to cumber the ground now that their dear Father is no longer able to protect them.

Is it sought to prevent me from communicating with the outer world least the plea for justice may not be overpowered by the cry of 'crucify him.' For our down trodden people I crave the 'amnesty' whatever that may be, it is Protean and I cannot define it, unless it is their Adamic legacy confirmed to them by President Johnson — permission to breathe God's air, and to gain their bread by the sweat of their brows. But as for me, and for mine, we crave no amnesty. We have been robbed of everything except our memories — God has kept them green. Friends, brothers. Husband, home strength, hope, even the graves of my dear children do not belong to me. There is no bond uniting us to the Northern- ers — A great gulf of blood rolls between and my spirit shrinks appalled from attempting to cross it. I am strong to suffer, but quite unable to offer friendship, or receive amnesty at the hands of the Federal "many headed monster thing" which has usurped the place of our grand old compact. If we get jus- tice, I desire no favors. Mr. Johnson may pardon us like the Revd. Mr. Chadband whether we wish it or not, but he will never be asked. Byron somewhere describes my sensations as I look at the swarms of armed negroes, and Yankees who are standing like 'the abomination of desolation' where they 'ought not' — I quote from memory, and perhaps do not quote 44^ Confederate Calendar. aright — 'It is as though the dead could feel, The icy worm around him steal.

However enough of this, I am unhinged by sorrow, and forget you have not lived in an invaded country and that consequently your ire has not been lighted at the funeral pyre of friends, and homes lost forever. Living in the closest friendship with Mr. Davis, I am cognizant of a great deal relating to his official conduct, and where I cannot speak from personal knowledge, could tell you in most instances where to apply to those who participated in his action.

"My dear Sir : — Mr. Sutton, the official Reporter of the Senate who will report Mr. Davis' trial when it takes place, had, a day or two since an interview with Chief Justice Chase the substance of which he had given to me with the permission to communicate it to you. The conversation is kept close here. It is not known outside of the parties named as I believe it your wish and Mr. O'Conor's that matters relating to the trial shall not be made public prematurely. The Chief Justice's long inti- macy and friendship with Mr. Sutton led him to speak quite freely and fully and I deem it of great importance that you should have the substance of the interview both for informa- tion and to see how it squares with what was said in youi visit. In the first place the Chief Justice said that he had no knowledge of any arrangements for the trial of Mr. Davis and that he had no expectation of presiding at such a trial at Norfolk as the newspapers have represented. He inti- mated that he could not preside in any of the seceeding states until there had been some legislation in relation to them by Congress. Congress will not meet until the first Monday tn Dec. next. The Supreme Court of the United States will meet on the same day and the Chief Justice said positively that he should not absent himself from the Bench of that Court during the Term. In the course of the conversation, as Mr. Sutton had intimated his intention to report the trial and to get it out in a creditable manner in book form, the Chief Confederate Calendar. 455 Justice replied, "If you wait for that purpose until I try the case you will wait a long time." This remark gives a peculiar significance to the remark made to me by yourself that there might not be any trial at all. The Metropolitan Record alluded to when you were here, I have mislaid. Can't find it. When do you think I had better visit New York for a day or so ? As I have not written a similar letter to Mr. O'Conor I presume it would be well to tell him of this. The Wirz Trial is getting a little more interesting from the fact that, to use the classic words of Col. Chipman, the Judge Advocate, they are now implicating 'bigger fish.'

It now seems highly probable that Mr. Davis at least, if not both of these gentlemen, will soon be tried in a Civil Court under some novel arrangments in acts of congress now in progress which are designed to facilitate their conviction. There is but one ground on which a doubt of their early trial would be warranted. A game of cross-purposes in Congress between the President's own proper party, and the extreme radicals might arise and might lead to delays, and an ultimate abandonment of the prosecution. Strange as it may seem the persons most likely to urge the prosecution are of that faction in the Republican party which is likely to be the Republican Wing of Mr. Johnson's legion.

I fear it is not possible to meet you in either place. My negroes have not worked well, in my absence, and the consequence is, my cotton crop is not more than sufficient to pay current expenses, to get money for future operations, I have therefore, to rely on the sale of property (lands and lots). At the time of the reception of your letter I was negotiating for the sale of a summer resi- dence on the sea shore, and hoped to realize from that enough to take me to Richmond and meet other demands, but find it will require some weeks yet to consummate the sale, and fear it will be too late to attend my Uncle's trial in Richmond. I would make any sacrifice to be with him on that occasion, and fancy that in some respects I might be useful, as a skir- misher or scout, for the main defensive line, at least. I was 476 Confederate Calendar. both amused and disgusted at Chase's letter to his 'Dear Underwood' and on first reading thought it was a hoax, is it possible that the Chief Justice of the U. States wrote such a letter? I infer from the day named by you for the trial, that coun- sel have declined to avail themselves of the Chief Justice's kind ofifer, to remain a day or so, to hear a case of petty lar- ceny, and rejoice at the declension. To appear before Under- wood is bad enough, but on the whole, I would prefer him to Chase. I would give much to hear what you have to say about the case, and deeply regret that as matters now stand, it is impossible to be with you at Richmond. It is barely possible I may be able to join you, but I scarcely hope it. Since my return to Miss, have been constantly on my planta- tion gathering the small crops of cotton and corn made by my freedmen this season, and am near enough the end of havesting to see that I will fall short of expenses, and how to go on another year, I don't exactly see. If it was possible would sell out, and let my former slaves go where they are fast hastening, to the devil. You have no idea of the im- providence, and the worthlessness of the negro in his present condition. To give you the facts in my own case — This year I made contracts, with about twenty-five or thirty of my former slaves, selecting the best men and women, on the share system, giving them one third and one half of the crops, and I furnishing land, meat, corn, team, houses and farming implements, and the result is, I have lost several thousand dollars and the negroes will not have enough to buy winter clothes. By the way I am sorry to see that the functions of the 'Freedman' Bureau, are about to expire, it is unfor- tunate for the negro as within the next few years they will greatly need the charity of the Government, and won't you please say to Mr. Greely, that I as a Southern man, beg he will use the influence of his paper to continue the Bureau, and ask an appropriation from the Government of at least fifty millions of dollars per annum, for its support. I know it's a large sum, and much of it will be stolen by the patriotic agents of the Government, but it is my deliberate conviction Confederate Calendar. 477 that it will be needed to save the negro from starvation. If he is to be saved from ignorance, poverty and death, he must have the fostering care of the Government, as well as its protection, from the vicious. We are to have an election in Miss, the present week. Few respectable white men take any interest in it and the convention will be composed of a few adventurous speculating Yankees, negroes, and perhaps a very small number of re- spectable white men. What a miserable farce will be Re- construction in Miss. But enough of this. One word on personal matters. I see there has been Incorporated a Plant- ers' Loan and Relief Association of which Mr. Greely, Mar- shal Jewell, Chas. Partrige, Horace F. Clarke, John T. Hoff- man, W. R. Beebe, C. Brainard and E. M. Lee are Incor- porators. The object is said to be to loan money to Planters on mortgage, that they may give employment to freedmen. As I would be glad to get money for that purpose, would make application to the company mentioned and give mort- gage on a good plantation. Will you do me the favor to enquire of Mr. Greely or some of his associates, if it is a Bona fide concern, and if money can be obtained and at what rates, &c., &c. If I can get money will plant cotton next year, not on the system of this, but another from which I would hope for a reasonable success. If I do not plant, and cannot sell, will try my fortune somewhere else. Could you suggest anything in your city? 1 have inflicted on you a long rambling letter, and my only excuse is, I did not intend it, and beg you will excuse its length.

Among the letters of Ex-President Jefferson Davis were found a number written to Mr. Davis by J. M. Mason, Confed- erate Commissioner to England, during the years 1867-68. These are of interest as illustrating the relations of former Confederate leaders and their concern for Mr. Davis. Mason's comments on the treason proceedings are especially valuable. Abstracts of all of these letters are given below. 1867, May 14, Toronto, [Can.] J. M. Mason to Jefferson Davis. I saw from the papers that you were to be in Richmond yesterday — sent a letter to you in care of Randolph Tucker at that place — thought he would have access to you as a member of your counsel and could give it to you — hope you received it — I find by this morning's papers that you were released on bail — is a great relief to know that you are at last at liberty "and under circumstances on which I confidently rely, that you will not again be molested" — I remained in England a year after the sad reverse in our fortunes — wrote often to O'Conor — found he did not have access to you — hope he told you of the letters, that you may know the concern of your friends — hope you may come to Canada — I see little prospect of return- ing to Virginia "and of all things I should desire once more to be with you, and to talk over what may be the future of our unhappy country" — personal affairs — residence at Niagara — advantages of St. Catherine's — it may be to you, as to me, a matter of some moment "to be and remain in a country, freed from the tyranny and brutality now dominant, at our once happy homes" — write at your leisure — regards — [P. S.] Address me in the name of "John C. Ambler, Esq." — he is my little grandson. [May 16] — I hear you are en route to Mon- treal — Corse is to telegraph me of your arrival — ^will soon see you. L. S. and A. L. S. M,- Confederate Calendar. 481 1867, June 7, Niagara, Canada West. J. M. Mason to Jefferson Davis. Letters sent — hope your run down the Lake was pleasant — you should have remained with us — fine weather — excellent fishing — "Ah, what you have lost by the perverse habit of having your own way" — hope you will return. L. S. M,- 1867, June 17, Niagara, [Canada West.] J. M. Mason to Jef- ferson Davis. Did you receive my last letter? — I have one from Genl. Franklin Pierce in which he asks if Mrs. Davis received a let- ter sent her in care of Judge Lyons Richmond — Pierce has received no reply — personal matters. A. L. S. Mj- 1867, June 22, Niagara, C[anada] W[est.] J. M. Mason to Jefferson Davis. Your letters received — I sent you McRae's letter — am sorry it was not explicit — now forward letter from Benjamin — let me hear if you have news of the trial — send this under cover to Corse — sent you a letter from Mr. Beresford Hope — good wishes. A. L. S. M^- 1867, June 28, Niagara C[anada] W[est.] J. M. Mason to Jefferson Davis. Letters sent you — enclose one from McRae — I gather from it that you should send over the bills you have in hand, both Nos. I and 2, and then the matter can be arranged by Brewer as McRae proposes — the transaction was placed in Brewer's hands for safety — I think the best mode of remittance would be to send bills similar to those returned, payable to some friend whom you might name at Montreal — pardon these suggestions — I am much interested that the business should be safely transacted — hope you will visit us soon. L. S. M,. 1867, July 13, Niagara, C[anada] W[est.] J. M. Mason to Jefferson Davis. 482 Confederate Calendar. Letter from Col. Mann— his address— I have yours return- ing McRae's letter — the extract you give of his letter to you was never intended to give the impression that what he did was at your request or intimation — ^you say this construction might be put on his letter — McRae's action was at the prompting of his own mind — ^he would be mortified at any other construction of it — as soon as he beard of your arrest, he sent instructions to O'Conor to defend the members of your Cabinet and others of like grade, as well as yourself — visit of "J- T." to Montreal — if he mentions the subject to me, I shall tell him what I told you on Benjamin's report to me in London — hope you can visit us — let me know how the trial goes. L. S. M,- 1867, July 17, Niagara, [Canada West.] J. M. Mason to Jef- ferson Davis. Beg to introduce Mr. Jas. E. Macfarland, who was Secre- tary of Legation to the Confederate Commission to London. He is now returning to England. L. S. M^- 1867, Aug. 12, Niagara, Canada West. J. M. Mason to Jef- ferson Davis. Col. Helm is much disappointed at not having any response to. his invitation for you to visit him — we yet hope you will come — I note what you say of your interview with "Jacob T." — ^was perhaps as well not to mention what I told you as coming from Benjamin — I shall tell him if he comes here — ^he has never been in this quarter — I heard he was twice in Lon- don while I was there, but did not know it until he was gone — hope the matter pending in Europe can be arranged — I have had nothing recently on the subject from McRae — enclosed you letters from Slidell and Mann — plans for the future — opinion of Johnson's policy — personal matters. L. S. M,- 1868, Nov. 6, Niagara, Ontario. J. M. Mason to Jefferson Davis. We hear your trial is postponed until May that the Chief Confederate Calendar. 483 Justice may be present — can rely but little on newspaper writers, but I credit this — it accords with my settled convic- tion that as the matter was under the control of the Chief Justice, "he dared not rule the offence imputed. Treason" — ^be- lieved he never would allow a trial where he was to preside — hope you may not have to appear in Richmond — how this may be arranged — let us hear of any changes — Col. Helm says you are not to visit us^— hope you yet may do so. L. S. M,- 1868, Aprl. 22, Niagara, Canada [West.] J. M. Mason to Jef- ferson Davis. Letters received — had not heard of your return to Canada — ^have observed the finding of a new indictment — have read the counts — "Those ignorant brutes who now govern affairs act so strangely, to delude the mob at their heels, that it is impossible to know the object of their movements — In one thing only are they consistent — pertinacity in malice. The real pinch is, and that which has led me always to believe they would never venture to try, that by no standard of law could they make out the crime of treason. The complicated and muddy idea now put out, of conspiracy to resist the laws, or to levy war, does in no sense modify the rule of law. Before the Federal tribunals, I should have no reliance on a defence, resting on a construction of the Government, or the Sove- reignty of the States, however tenable in the minds of Jurists. The principle, which they can never get round, or get over, is, that whatever you did in wielding the Army, and whatever others did in counsel, were acts of war — immediately and at the time recognized as such, by all the authorities, civil and military, of the enemy — all the time authorized by a power competent in law, to conduct war, and entitling those bona fide so acting, to all immunities arising from acts of war and then comes the co-relative principle, that for such acts, the belligerent power is alone responsible, the individuals com- mitting them, irresponsible. That the occasion was one of war, was recognized in the judgment of the Courts, including the Supreme Court, by the Executive, and by the Military, in 484 Confederate Calendar. consistent, uniform action, in every case presented, as well as by the unanimous declaration and acting, of every Power in Europe. The Cheif [sic] Justice stands committed to hold the Court before his Country, unless his presence is dispensed with by yourself, and whatever my opinion of the man, or of his complication with party, yet he stands at the head of the Judiciary, is undoubtedly an able lawyer, and responsible for the character and reputation of the Department over which he presides — and I thus have relied, and yet rely, that on such a trial, with the world looking on, he cannot rule that to be law, which he knows, and which the entire enlightened world is aware he knows, is not law. That he has shirked and evaded the Court at successive terms is undoubted, and could have had no reason to do so, but to evade this responsibility. Should they profess to be ready for trial in May^ I trust that your counsel will have reasoned as I do, and will insist on the presence of the Cheif [sic] Justice as a right, to say noth- ing of his committals, direct and indirect, to preside, should the accused desire it. I have observed the proceedings in Con- gress in regard to the eligibility of persons who have ex- pressed opinions — a measure in flagrant contempt of every principle of justice known to criminal jurisprudence — but my impression is, that though the Bill passed the House, it had not been finally acted on — the disgrace of negro jurors, is the disgrace of the brutes, who force it on the South. Recurring again to Ch^se, I should have the more hope of him because of his present political attitude — Whatever hopes he may have had of the Presidency, they are for present at least extin- guished, and he to that extent remitted to independence. I think, too, his whole course whilst presiding on the impeach- ment, has shown him observant, and careful, of the dignities and duties of his position — manifestly independent of any party pressure. Bad as it all is, I am yet encouraged in the double aspect, first that there will be not trial, or if there is, that the Cheif Justice dare not pronounce it treason." I can- not understand why you have to return to Richmond — the law in the case — gratified that O'Conor is "attentive and diligent" in your cause — ^the Richmond counsel can "supply sound Confederate Calendar. 485 views, connected with the locality" — prayers for ypur welfare — wish that I might be with you in Richmond — ^persopal affairs. L. S. M,- 1868, June 13, Niagara, Canada [West.] J. M. Mason to Jefferson Davis. Regret at not hearing from you — doubt as to your where- abouts — disgrace of the administration in neither trying nor releasing you — cannot you visit us. We have a large and attractive Confederate circle — Genl. John S. Preston is here with his family — Breckinridge is expected — "I have nothing to say of things passing in the South — ^we have but one hope, that bondage wiir become too vile at the North, for even the vilfe to bear, & an internecine [sic] war there may follow — then we may come to our own." ^ L. S. M^- ^ This letter concludes the correspondence between Mason and Davis as f)resefved in the Confederate Museum. Mason returned shortly to Vir- ginia, arid thete, in 1871, death ended his interesting career.

Lining, Assistant Surgeon, U. S. N. Diary a:nd Journal, Augst. 3rd, 1858, to Dec 31st, 1862. Lining was Asst. Surgeon on the U. S. frigate "Cyane" from Aug., 1858, to Dec. 10, i860. He has regular entries for this period. The vessel sailed from Hampton Roads Sept. 24th, 1858, touching at Rio, and coasting the western coast of South America. Panama was reached March nth, 1859. With the exception of a trip to San Francisc6, June, i860, the vessel remained in Central American and Mexican waters until the relief crew arrived, Dec. loth, i860. Lining then crossed the Confederate Calendar. 499 Isthmus, and reached New York on Christmas day, i860. After leaving Panama the entries are fragmentary, appear to be in a different hand, and from the ink were all entered at the same time. Jany. 19th, 1861, his resignation in the United States Navy was accepted, and after serving for some weeks around Charleston, he was appointed Asst. Surgeon in the Confederate Navy, and sent to New Orleans. He engaged in various river escapades and minor fights, principally on the gunboat "Pontchartrain," Lieut.-Commander J. W. Dunning- ton, and on the gunboat "Tuscarora." The journal is of minor importance for events occuring while he was in the Confeder- ate Navy during this period. Bound MS., pp. 144. 24.

These statements agree with one another completely, except as regards the number of flags on the works and the speech of General Mahone before the charge. Col. Stewart collected them with the intention of writing a history of the charge. The most important state- ments are those of : Francis M. Whitehurst, Lieut., 6th Va. ; Major Wm. H.

This Bibliography, as was stated in the Introduction, does not pretend to be comprehensive or final, and lists only those books and important pamphlets published or used in the Con- federacy and now in the Confederate Museum. The books and pamphlets gathered by Mrs. Mary De Renne of Savannah, and known as the De Renne Collection, are the most valuable of the Library. At a time when Cpnfederate publications were much more numerous and more easily acquired than at pres- ent, Mrs. De Renne, with rare judgment, gathered a collection of Confederate publications second to none in the country. Other private individuals have also made substantial gifts to the Library. Owing to the limitations of the present volume, it has been impossible to include any extended critique on the various volumes listed, and, for the same reason, unimportant tracts, sheet music, and similar publications have been omitted altogether from this list. The Commission hopes, at a future time, to publish an exhaustive Bibliography of Confederate publications ; but, in the meantime, it offers the following titles as a contribution towards such a Bibliography. I. Official Publications of the Government of the Con- federate States of America. II. Official Publications of the Governments of Southern States. III. Unofficial Publications Relating to War Organization. S02 Confederate Calendar. IV. Contemporary History and Biography. V. Literary Works. VI. Confederate Text-Books. VII. Political Miscellany. VIII.

Con- vinced that a satisfactory geography could not be issued in the South, the publishers determined to have Mr. Stewart's book printed in England. Accordingly they sent the manuscript and $1,000 in gold to England. The book was printed in handsome style, and a few copies of it, sent to Virginia by the first blockade- runner, duly reached their destination. The rest of the edition, however, fared badly: the ship upon which it was sent was captured by the Federal blockading-squadron, and the edition was de- stroyed. 540 Confederate Calendar.
