and triumphs were not long to divert our rulers and their consorts, from graver matters we have but to quote this paragraph:
 Before that first session of Con- gress adjourned we had buried an army of brave men, among them cen erals Zollicoffer and Albert Sidney Johnston. Our coasts were closed by the blockading fleets of the Federal government. We had lost New Or leans and the Tennessee valley was slipping from us'
 Amid all the horrors of war, of de- vastation, of conf1scation, many hu- morous things came to tighten the gloom and bring a laugh from lips even of the sorely pressed and stressed Southerners. A letter from Huntsville to Mrs. Clay ran as follows: MT. Hammond says in Atlanta he saw that Miss Mitchell (daughter of Gen. Mitchell, U. S. A. commander of the United States army then investing Nashville) rode out in your green habit on your mare?
 Miss MitchelTs outings in Mrs. Clay's garments are yet town talk In Hunts vile.
 Mrs. Clay tells that one day a, young girl of Huntsville, in a spirit of dar-
  ton at such confiscation, called after the generals daughter as she passed by mounted on the mare and adorned in the green habit of Mrs. Clay: Hey! Git off Ginie Clay's mare! Git ofr Clinic Clay's mare! Mrs. Clay con- tinues the remarkable and true story: That afternoon her brother was or dered Into arrest. and for months thereafter was kept in custody as guarantee for his sisters good beha- vior!"
 Letters from the front carried thrill ing news of battles. a series of victo- ries that drew the life-blood of our nation and led us conquering to direst defeat. This from the Battle of Seven Pines: "The general Qong- streeD was there, sitting most com placently upon a fine horse. surround ed by his stan. We were about a quarter of a mile from the engage mAnt, and we could distinctly hear the shouts of victory from our gallant troops, literally driving the enemy be- fore them. Entrenchment and battery after battery were wrested from the Yankees by our splendid troops, old North Carolina leading them! The firing was awful, but glorious! Amid the hoavy firing. the glorious cheering of our troops. squad after squad or Yankee prisoners were brought up to Longstreet under guards buoyant with victory; and, as each reached head quarters, I tell you that the reserve force would send up a yell of delight that split the air and made old earth tremble!

North, a palpable envy of the hold the South had retained so long upon the Federal City, whether in politics or society, and the resolution to auell us' nv physical force, was everywhere ob- vious. The face of the city was low aeing. and some of the North agreed with us of the South that nation s suicide was about to be precipitated.
 Of an incident which followed the dissolution of the Peace Commission we quote:
 ."Just after it's close ex-President Tyler came to our home. He was no [" an old man. and very attenuated. He was completely undone at the failure of the peace men. and tears trickled down his cheeks as he said to Senator clay. with indescribable sadness: Clay. the end has come!" Many will read with bated breath of the evening when Commander Semmes, U. S. N, came to tell Senator Clay of his deter rnination to resign his commission and tender his services to the Confederate States.
 But little later the Southern senators were in session of that august body to renounce their allegiance to the United States. It was a scene to burn itself in the memory. At the concise and simple telling of that momentous event the heart thrills
 And now the morning dawned of what all knew would be the day oi awful import. I accompanied my hus- hand to the Senate. and everywhere the erecting or gaze of absorbed, unrec- ognizing men and women was serious and full of trouble The galleries of the Senate. which held. it is esti- mated, one thousand people were packed densely, principally with wom- en. who, trembling with excitement, awaited the denouement of the day. As, one by one. Senators David Yulee, stephen R. Mallory, Clement c. Clay, Benjamin Fitzpatrick and Jefferson Da- wis rose, the emotion of their brother senators and of us in the galleries in creased and, when I heard the voice of my husband, steady and clear. not withstanding his illness. declare in that council chamber: MT.

I rise to announce that the people of Alabama have adopted an ordinance whereby they withdraw from the Union formed under a compact styled the United States, resume the powers dele gated to it, and assume their separate station as a sovereign and independent people, 1t seemed as If the blood within me congealed."

 MT. Clay, after many perils and ad- ventures on. his hazardous mission, re- turned to the southland, arriving at Macon. Ga, on February 10th. He had made every effort to reach Richmond. so soon to be evacuated. The murder of Lincoln soon followed, and on hear ling these horrors Mir Clay exclaimed; God help us! If that be true, 1t is the worst blow that has yet been struck at the South" Suddenly fol- lowed the reward of $25.000 for the apprehension of c. c. Clay! This was a bolt out of clear sky of innocence! MT. Clay's friends hurried to him to advise with him as to what course to pursue under these wholly unforeseen, unreasoning and startling circumstances.
 As I am conscious of my inno- cence." declared Mir Clay, my Judg- ment is that I should at once sur
  ties" This he did.
 The story of the treatment of this self surrendered prisoner would be un- believable did we not know its truth. The unnecessary cruelty, harshness; the unmitigated unreasonableness of the whole thing, makes a later generation stand aghast with amazement. Tho actions of Judge Advocate General Holt made curious matter for study of what stuff some of the leaders of Reconstruction were made On November 7th Mrs. Clay arrived at Washington. her mission to se- cure the speedy trial release of MT. Clay from Fortress Monroe.
 Tho story of her many interviews and ex- citing visits visits to the President. with Secretary Stanton. of her interview with torious commander will be eagerly bored over.
 The President at length granted her re- peated requests for a permit to visit Mr. Clay In his prison and on the 27th of De- cember she left Washington for Fortress Monroe.
 This visit filled her of necessity with grief and indignation
 After reading the digest of Holts report. MT Clay found means to write to his de- voted wife; Judge Holt Is determined to sacrifice me for reasons given you" Miss Sterling than whom there was never editor more able. painstaking and brilliant, gives this passage the following foot-note:

You would not know this God-for- saken city, our beautiful capital with all its artistic wealth desecrated, dis graced with Lincoln's low soldiery.

hundred and sixty-five live Yankees and a captain whom they had taken"
 But, oh!" writes Mrs. Clay, 'our men had need of a mighty courage, for soon the very seed corn of our race became a sacrifice
 The ranks of the splendid Fourth Alabama regiment, picked men of our finest blood, the flower of our hopes. as handsome a body as a State might muster. were terribly thinned.'
 Wherever call came our Alabam- ians were found in the front, the envy and admiration of the army quickening the courage and firing the imaginauons of every company that beheld them"
 oh! the sorrow that overcome all who knew him (and the circle was wide as half the South itsel) when the news came of the death of Col sydenham Moore. who fell at Seven Pines"
 But no more of these strips of sor- row torn from the pages. We know it all, but 1t cannot be told too often, the bravest story ever told.
 There followed refugee days in Georgia Then real war-travel from Macon to Richmond under escort of two poets." who in days to come were to be known to wider world-Sidney and Clifford Lanier. Mrs. Clay quotes entire a little love letter" from Yours. Cliff Lanier," from camp in Virginia after the Journey was over, and one from the dear Orpheus of the South" Sid Lanier."
 Mrs. Clay was in Richmond when Dahlgren's raid was made. Members of Congress shouldered guns, where they could get them, and mounted guard around the capital. They were an untratned mass, but they came back victors"
 Alas! this was but the beginning of the end In the spring of '64 Mir. Clay accepted the diplomatic mission to Canada.
 Mrs. Clay began a Journey back to Georgia. Some months were spent at "Redcliffe," home of Senator Ham mond. The description of this typi- cal plantation and home may well be read as true one of the most perfect home-life the world has ever seen The splendid system of education of the negro might be studied with profit by those eager. and rightly so, to ad- vance the character and interests of the freedman.
