, in order that a record might be preserved, directed us to make a written report in accordance with the results of the discussion. As the plan proposed by me had been adopted, I thought it but proper that I should leave the wording of the report to Messrs. Williamson and Porter. I noticed that in designating the plan to be adopted the expression used was the plan submitted for the approval of the Department. Which plan was not stated. I now pass to a later period. The action in Hampton Roads had been fought. Among the gallant officers of the Virginia, whose names are now historic, was Lieutenant Robt. D. Minor—a very pink of honor. He had been associated with me in ordnance work, and was fully informed as to the facts in this matter. From him I received the following letter. It has never been published and will, I think, be read with interest: Naval hospital, Norfolk, Va., March 11, 1862. Many thanks, my dear Brooke, for your very kind letter, which reached me by t
Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 19. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Magruder's Peninsula campaign in 1862. (search)
Magruder's Peninsula campaign in 1862. The Peninsula campaign, conducted on the Confederate side by General John Bankhead Magruder, though unduly subordinated in the already-written history of the war, conspicuously comprised a rapidly-recurring series of some of the most brilliant achievements of the soldiership of the South. The Peninsula, between York river on one side and James river on the other, with Hampton Roads, or the southern extremity of Chesapeake Bay, making its seaboard boundary, is, in some of its associations, as historic ground, perhaps, as any similar-sized district of country within the limits of the United States. The sad site of Jamestown, in its almost vestigeless ruins, is in itself a poem of pathos, carrying us back to the first successful attempt to establish an English colony in the New World, with all the perils and privations, all the heroic and romantic reminiscences of the contests between the white man and the red man, interwoven with that even

Echoes from Hampton Roads. [The writer of the following, the Rev. R. C. Foute, participated in the scenes he so vividly depicts as a midshipman on the Virginia.] Hurrah! Hurrah! Hip-hip, hurrah! from thousands of throats. With waving handamed slowly back to her moorings at the Gosport Navy-yard, after her famous encounter with the United States fleet in Hampton Roads on that ever-memorable 9th of March, 1862. No conqueror of ancient Rome ever enjoyed a prouder triumph than that whie prepared to give battle to wooden vessels only, never once expecting to meet another iron-clad on our cruise around Hampton Roads. We went into the dry-dock at once. The one thing now for the Virginia to do was to destroy the Monitor. We believe with tarpaulins, and wait for the crew to surrender. On the 11th day of April, just one month after the fight in Hampton Roads, we got under way and steamed down the river again eager for the fray, and confidently expecting to carry out our pla

led.] It would seem that everything had already been said that history would care to remember of this famous iron-clad monster of the ocean; and yet the labors of the future historical compiler would be incomplete without the following account of a most impressive scene that occurred on board of the Confederate steam frigate Virginia (nee Merrimac, U. S. N.) at the Gosport Confederate States Navy Yard, in grateful acknowledgment to Almighty God for the distinguished victory gained in Hampton Roads on Saturday and Sunday, the 8th and 11th days of March, 1862. This most appropriate and solemn service of praise and grateful adoration was offered on the gun-deck of the steamer, at the special request of the officers and crew—all hands being there assembled—at 12 o'clock noon, on Monday, March 10th, by the Rev. J. H. D. Wingfield, the assistant rector of Trinity Church, Portsmouth, Va. The Address. My brave and distinguished friends: If there be an ambition in the soul o
