III typographical error has ellc-
tied from those who participated

such an interesting statement as
the one that follows:
Brookhaven, Aug, 5, 1890.
My Dear Col. Power: General
Barnard E. Bee is the one who
gave General jackson the title Of
otOnewall. Gene al Bee Was
not at Manassas, or near there,
at that time. The Confederate
lines were being broken. Gener-
ais Bee, Barlow and jackson were
bearing the brunt Of the whole
fight. General Bee rode over to
Gen. jackson to find out what he
was going to do, and he told Gen.
Bee that he was going to hold his
position. Barnard Bees and
Baftow's brigades were wavering.
Gen. Bee shouted to his brigade.
'There stands General jackson
like a stone wall Let US do the
same, or diel" Gen. Barlow got
up on a rail fence, with his brig
ade flag, and waving it, told his
men that if they loved him they
would rally around him. The
brigade did come back, and did
rally, but General Barlow was
shot to death. Barnard Bee lived
through the fight, and the Fed
eral troops were falling back, and
the fight about over, when stray
bullet from Wilson 8 zouaves,
who were rear guard for the Fed
erals, struck Gen. Bee over the
left hip, passing through his in
testines. He lived twenty four
hours after being shot. Please
give "Student" these facts.
Yours,
EUGENE M. BEE.
