ing them. He had, therefore, exerted his ingenuity in trying to get a secure fastener that could be loosened in the shortest possible time, and he had brought the result to show me. Whether he ever patented it is not known, but might be ascertained from the Patent Office. It might have been called Stuart's lightning horse hitcher; or, perhaps, unhitcher, as that was the important matter. He certainly was a lightning cavalier. What struck me in him, besides his gallant and genial courtesy, was his professional esprit. He wanted to accomplish something useful and honorable to his country and himself upon laudable principle. He did; but how different was his grand career in arms from what he then anticipated! General Joseph E. Johnston once said to me, in Abingdon, that the lot of Polk, Jackson, and Stuart was more fortunate than that of their survivors. They, at least, escaped the horrors of the spurious peace of Appomattox. Benj. Blake minor. Richmond, February 25, 1901.

In the State where I live, said John Sherman, on April 2, 1862 we do not like negroes. We do not disguise our dislike. As my friend from Indiana (Mr. Wright) said yesterday, The whole people of the Northwestern States, are, for reasons, whether correct or not, opposed to having many negroes among them, and that principle or prejudice has been engraved in the legislation of nearly all the Northwestern States. The Bill of Rights of Oregon (published by authority of an act approved February 25, 1901) prohibits the free negro, or mulatto, from coming within the State; from holding real estate, making contracts or maintaining suit therein; and provides for the punishment of persons who shall bring negroes and mulattoes into the State; harbor, or employ them. Lincoln was but an echo, when, in August, 1862, to a committee of negroes who sought guidance from him, he recommended Central America as the most charming home he could think of for them. For, he said; on this broad continent

The Petersburg Grays. From the Richmond Dispatch, February 25, 1901. Headquarters L. O. Branch Camp, N. 515, U. C. V., Raleigh, N. C., February 20, 1901. To the Editor of the Dispatch: The enclosed is a printed list of Company B, Twelfth Regiment, Virginia Infantry. I have been trying for several years to secure a complete list of my old company. Since I had the enclosed list printed I learn that I have left out two or three names, and with the hope of securing these, I respectfully ask the insertion of enclosed in the Confederate column of your Sunday edition. During General Longstreet's raid upon Suffolk, in 1863, a recruit was sent to the company—he was a character—and his name is forgotten. The boys dubbed him Jamaica Ginger. I would like to secure his name. If any reader of the Dispatch knows the name of any one who was a member of the company during the war, and which does not appear in this list, a great favor will be done if it be mailed to me on a post

Ransom's Brigade. From the Richmond Dispatch, February 25, 1901. Its gallant conduct in the Capture of Plymouth. By Edwin O. Moore, of Company A, Twenty-fourth North Carolina Regiment. In the winter of 1861-62, by the capture of Hatteras, Roanoke Island, and New Berne, all the tidewater region of North Carolina east of Wilmington lay at the mercy of the Union forces. To render these conquests permanent, and to serve as bases for further inroads into the State, they seized and strongly fortified several strategic points: among these was Plymouth, situated on the south bank of the Roanoke river, a few miles above the Albemarle sound. The region of country thus brought under subjection included the principal waterways of the State, the most valuable fisheries of the South, and many thousand acres of fertile and productive agricultural lands. Indeed, on account of the fall of Roanoke Island, Southeast Virginia, including Norfolk, Portsmouth, and its great navy-yard, was
