the 3d of July at Gettysburg, makes General Lee say, I shall ever believe if General Pender had remained on his horse half an hour longer we would have carried the enemy's position, when the facts are, General Pender was mortally wounded on the right of his line by an artillery shot on the afternoon of the 2d of July, and was taken to the rear, where he was on the 3d of July, and could not even mount his horse. Surely General Heth could not have read the report of General A. P. Hill in the November No., 1876, of the Southern Historical Society Papers, in which he says: On the morning of the 3d the divisions of my corps occupied the same positions as on the 2d. I was directed to hold my line with Anderson's division and the half of Pender's, now commanded by Gen. Lane, and to order Heth's division, commanded by Pettigrew, and Lane's and Scales' brigades, of Pender's division, to report to Lieutenant-General Longstreet, as a support to his corps in the assault on the enemy's lines.

ssion received in the heat of a terrible battle. A reading of his report shows that he made the statement complained of in some doubt as to its accuracy, (see November number Southern Historical Society Papers, page 201). I am not and cannot be mistaken as to what I state. To go a little more into particulars, General Gibson. A. Letter from General S. D. Lee. Columbus, Miss., January 28, 1878. Rev. J. Wm. Jones, Secretary Southern Historical Society. My dear sir: In the November number of the Southern Historical Society Papers is General Patton Anderson's report of the battle of Jonesboroa. There was no more gallant and honorable soldieouisiana regiment, writing from New Orleans, to a criticism by General Anderson in his report of the battle of Jonesboroa, Ga., August 31, 1864, published in the November number of the Southern Historical Magazine, that might be construed to reflect upon that regiment. It will be observed, by referring to the report, that Gener

ed by me to defend that city against the powerful naval and land batteries of the Federals, I prepared a paper on the subject for the Philadelphia Weekly Times, which, through accidental delays in transmission, did not appear until the first week in October. Since then, an interesting article on torpedo service, by Commander W. T. Glassel, C. S. N., who commanded the David in its gallant night attack on the New Ironsides in the outer harbor of Charleston, Oct. 5, 1863, has appeared in last November's number of the Southern Historical Society Papers, which enables me to correct a few slight errors I had made in my narrative of that attack. I have added als) to my article a few remarks taken from a Northern source which contains information I did not at first possess. Thus amended, I enclose it to you that it may appear of record, should you think it worthy of the honor, among the valuable Confederate papers which are published monthly in the Southern Historical Society Papers, so ab

erefore with regret that I learn that a different state of feeling exists. Very sincerely yours, Wm. Preston Johnston. Letter from F. R. Lubbock. Galveston, March 21st, 1878. Rev. J. William Jones, Sec. S. H. Society, Richmond, Va.: Dear sir: I have quite recently seen in the Southern Historical Society Papers, for December last, a communication from the Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, purporting to be a rejoinder to a letter of the Hon. Jefferson Davis, appearing in the November number of the Southern Historical Society Papers, in reply to a former communication of Mr. Hunter on the subject of the Peace Commission conference at Hampton Roads. The paper of Mr. Davis I have not seen, but I desire to advert briefly to some of the statements contained in Mr. Hunter's rejoinder, which I believe my official relations to President Davis, as a member of his staff, not only entitle but qualify me to intelligently consider. After relating that he had an interview with
