At a called meeting of the Claiborne county branch of the Southern Historical Society, held at the Courthouse in Port Gibson, on this date, the following memorial was unanimously adopted: Memorial. I. When a noble citizen dies, it becomes the community in which he lived to stop for awhile the hum of business and pursuit of pleasure, to consider the lesson taught by his life-work, and to bear testimony to his virtues. The late Benjamin G. Humphreys was such a citizen. As a son, he was obedient and affectionate; as a brother, social and kind; as husband and father, loving and considerate; as a friend, steadfast and true; as legislator and ruler, wise in counsel, prudent in action; as a soldier, brave and zealous; in all the relations of life pure and without reproach; in all things setting an example worthy of universal imitation.

0. New York: Charles. Scribner's Sons. We have received these books from the publishers through West & Johnston, of Richmond, and we are also indebted to General Humphreys for copies of his book. Reserving for the future a full review of both, we can only say now that we are reading General Humphreys's with great interest anGeneral Humphreys's with great interest and pleasure, and while we shall have occasion to controvert some of his statements, we regard it as the work of an able soldier, very carefully prepared after a full study of all accessible material, and written in fine style and admirable spirit. The contrast between the fairness with which General Humphreys treats the men who fouGeneral Humphreys treats the men who fought against him, and the miserable partisan spirit shown by such writers as Doubleday and Badeau is very striking and pleasant.

Here the Third and Fifteenth regiments, which had been temporarily detached, rejoined us, and were sent to the right to fill up a gap between this brigade and that of Humphreys's. Soon after this the enemy made an attack on Humphreys, which was met by such a heavy fire, so coolly delivered by that brigade and by the right of my own, that they were at once checked and driven back.

A repetition of the attack met with a like result, and the firing, for a time, seemed to have ceased along the whole line, but between three and four o'clock it was resumed, and it was soon ascertained that the troops on our left had given way and the enemy threatening our left flank, whilst pressing us in front. In this condition of affairs the command fell back to the position it had previously held, and for one hour and a half kept the enemy at bay, foiling every direct effort to drive us from it, and it was not until the ene
