THE r1IssIsSIPPIAEs IN THE ARMY
OF VIRGINIA


Mr.. EDITOR | have just review
ed an account of the battle Of Get
tyshurg, by John Estin Cooke, OF
Virginia, in which he styles it "'Ihe
Waterloo of the War"
1t would be amusing to those of MS
from other States, who belonged to
fine Army of Northern Virginia, to
read the tlaordinary eulogies of
the Virginia troops, by Virginia wrl.
terS. when we remember what a small
part of Lees Army they were, II we
did not know that these writings
will be taken in after years for tac's,
and 90 down to poSterity as history.
But | will not take issue with Mr..
Cooke upon this point, If his own
sense of honor does not demand of
him Justice to the patriotic dead
from other States who now sleep IN
Notwithstanding that | could write
would affect him therefore, | pass
this over, but to directly contradict
the statement made, so far as it re-
fers to Mississippi troops, in the fol-
lowing:
at is speedily assailed; and at
stacking with the greatest gallantry,
sthe Federal forces which have hui
ried forward, envelop and capture
d" General Archer with several hun
" dred men, and soon alt6rward two
regiments Of Mississippians meet
"with the same fate Surrounded
gin ravine, they are seized, and trl-
umphantly borne off, with their
"battle- flags. Thus, for moment,
"fortune seemed to smile upon the
blue and frown upon the gray"
Gen. Archer's brigade was compos-
ed OF Tennesseeans and Alabamlans,
which shows how little these fancy
sketchers really know of what they
write
Now of the Mississippi troops /:
There we're eleven Mississippi regl-
ments in Lees army. The I'd, 11th,
and Add, in Davis Brigade, Heath s
division the 18th, 10th, 10Th and
4oth. in Posey's brigade, Anderson's
division. both of Hills corps; and
the 18th, 18th, 18th and DIST, IN
Barksdales's brigade, McLaw's dlvls-
ion, Longstreet's corps
The two last mentioned brlgadeS
were not under fire until the second
davis fight; in fact they were more
than five miles away, Davis bri-
cade was alone angaged, aud though
they lost heavily, at least h1teeh nun
dred killed and wounded, neither OF
the gallant regiments surrendered
and if either of them lost their colorS

What is more, M regiment IRON
Mississippi in Lees army, surrender
