shop where old cartridges were being taken
to pieces. Men and women we're at work
breaking them up and 25 OO0,0 had been

Gus succession of loud reports from the igni

Several vessels were burned, as, owing to
the intense heat, the firemen we're unable to

The Orations at Manassas

To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
1 much regret that you were unable to accom-
pany the party from our good old town to the
dedication of the monument at Manassas on Au-
gust 3Oth, as 1 feel assured the eloquent ad-
dresses of Senator Daniels, Gen. Payne, Gen. W..
81, F. Lee and ex-State Senator Meredith would
have amply repaid you for the trip. Senator Dan
els' Grafton was, l think, the greastest of all the
eloquent ones l have heard him deliver, and
would have been perfection itself but for an omls-
sion which Jared painfully on my sense of JUS
tics. In mentioning the names of illustrious
leaders who had led their commands to victory on
both the battle fields of Manassas he unlntention-
ally omitted The name of one who deserved CON-
spicuous place. Standing near him, but unseen,
was the ally son of Prince William who had by
"duty faithfully performed" risen to the iank OF
Briesdier General A participant in both the bat.
Lies which the monument was designed to com
memorste and whose fields were dyed with the
blood of some of h bravest men, he fought and
won another which made his superior .f1cer
Major Genersl although the latter did not see

against u.s. Not having received military edu-
CATION he had to overcome the obstacles placed III

stages Of the war against the promotion of civil
