I have in reverential sentiment garnered many of them in my personal library. In

s Forward or Charge rather than Stand. Cyclone, or Tornado, or Hurricane, would more appropriately index Jackson's character as a soldier. There has been a hot dispute between General Pope and General Banks as to the responsibility for the opening of the battle of Cedar Run (Slaughter's Mountain), in Culpeper county, in the beginning of the Second Manassas campaign, but General J. A. Early could easily settle the question for them. I happened to be sitting on my horse near by when Colonel Pendleton, of Jackson's staff, rode up to General Early and, touching his hat, quietly said: General Jackson sends his compliments to General Early, and says advance on the enemy, and you will be supported by General Winder. General Early's compliments to General Jackson, and tell him I will do it, was the laconic reply, and thus the battle opened. On the eve of another battle a staff officer rode up to General Jackson, and said: General Ewell sends his compliments, and says he is ready. Gene

n. Thomas S. Bocock, who died August 5, 1891, near Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia. It is a report in the Dispatch of August 15, 1891, of an interview with Dr. J. D. Pendleton, clerk of the Senate of Virginia: Some time during the earlier part of 1865 General John C. Breckinridge, then Secretary of War of the Confederate Stateser counties, but the sheriff who had been fighting the tiger, had lost his thousands of Confederate shucks, and failed to put in an appearance. Mr. Bocock and Dr. Pendleton were present, however, and a few other invited guests. Mr. Bocock was a fine talker, and while the evening waned entertained the gentlemen with an account of e desertions from General Joe Johnston's army while retreating before Sherman's victorious march to the sea. When General Johnston was told this by me, said Dr. Pendleton, who was in the city several days last week, he declared that the statement of his men deserting was without foundation of fact. General Breckinridge then a

ould know her son, a simple private in the ranks, but she persisted he must know him, and she must see him, and that she had spent a great deal of time in fixing these things for him. He asked her what county the boy came from. He sent for Colonel Pendleton and asked him what companies were in his army from that county. He then sent three or four couriers to each one of the companies from that county, and found the boy and brought him to the woman, who gave him the presents she had for him. Pcoming out of Harman's quarters I met the General, who was standing, waiting to see me. He said: Doctor, how is Harman to-day? I said: He must be better, for he is swearing again. General Jackson gave Harman such a lecture next day that Colonel Pendleton advised me to keep out of Harman's way, as he swore he was going to shoot me. He did not Reprove Lindsay Walker. He caught Lindsay Walker swearing once under circumstances that he did not reprove him. It was at Cedar Run. The lef

public men, in our public measures in our army and in our cause — in such men as our President and the leaders of our gallant, armies. I had intended gentlemen, to have spoken of the measures adopted by Congress and yourselves for the public good, but at this late hour, and wearied as we all are by protracted labors, I must forbear. And now, gentlemen, in this solemn parting hour, the future all wrapped in doubt, our re-union uncertain, our paths diverging from this common point of concentrated feeling and kindly emotion, I can only commend you to the care of Him who is our fortress and defence; and, bidding each of you a kindly and fraternal farewell, invoke Heaven's best blessings on you and yours. I pronounce this House adjourned sine dit. [The reporter returns his thanks to Mr. Shelton. C. Davis, Clerk of the Senate, and his assistant, Dr. J. D. Pendleton, and to Mr. Wm. F. Gordon, Clerk of the House, for many facilities courteously extended him during the session.]
