alluded to this not long ago In one Of
my letters, and 1t has provoked an
old friend to write to me upon the sub
iect and give me encouragement The
letter is from Hon. Walter Clark as
ISOLATE justice OF the supreme court
Of North Carolina, and who was re.
Gently nominated to be chief justice.
He has recently flashed the history
of the North Carolina regiments, in
FIVE volumes, having been chosen for
this work by the Confederate Veter-
ans Association. These volumes are
not a roster, bat history Of the acts
and deeds of every regiment eighty
four in number). Twenty years ago
that grand old state published a roster,
in four volumes, wherein is recorded
the name Of every officer and private,
and what became of them. North
Carolina was the banner state Of the
confederacy, and continues to be. With
voting population of $4,000, it sent
$4,000 troops to the front, and 41OOO
Of these were killed or died in service.
Judge Clark has promised to send me
the five Volumes just published, and
also to procure a copy Of that roster,
so that we may see how it is done, and

of the next legislature will get tOgeth-
