 The Historian of Alabama Division U. D, c. is anxious for a history ot the formation of each Camp or con of the soldier for whom it is named. the same to be published in our om- cial organ. The Sunday Mont Monts93m.e,y est to Chapters of U. P; 2; l ear nestly beg Camps of the U. c. V. for assistance. : ,
 ftS1u n Troy Chapter Mrs. F. s. Wood, former State President, and Mrs. w. B. Fol- mar a most enthusiastic member Of, U. D. C., were elected as delegates to the Convention to be held in California in October.
 The Chapter is already anticipating delightful reports of the far West from those she has seen fit to honor: Those present at the meeting were indeed for tuuate in hearing the excellent report of the Mobile Convention from the fluent pen of the Director, Mrs. Carl Tutwiler, who represented the Chapter so ably in May. This report should have been given at the June meeting, but on account of bereavement in the Chapter the meeting was called on.
 Several proposed amendments to the Constitution were endorsed.
 The Chapter is looking forward with pleasure to the renewed work of the

 Mrs. N, V. Randolph of Richmond sends us a pamphlet containing list of Confederate soldiers who lie buried in Forest Oak Cemetery, Madison, HI They had been captured at Island NO. 10, Mississippi River, and died from exposure while defending this point so necessary to our forces. These and many others were carried to camp Randall, and 139 died and were buried in confederate Rest" their graves be- ing afterwards cared for by Mrs. Alice Waterman, formerly of Louisiana. She lies buried in the midst of her boys, as she called these heroes, and though she left the plot enclosed and eacn grave marked with O wooden head stone. these records will not always last.
 The Richmond Chapter proposes to erect 4 monument costing $500 ip this plot, There are 139 in all buried there. 1l0 are Alabaminns. the remainder Ten nesseeans. and a few Virginians. It was said that these men of the 1st Alabama Regiment were amongst the best men of our State, the selection of General Polk as "relief to the force defending this point against a force four times their number It IS proposed to give Alabs ma an oppor- ftauity to record her sons names upoH the monument the lettering to cost s150. How many Daughters" of the Alabama Division wish to subscribe to this oanse? It may be that some had relations among these brave soldiers (they were under Col. Isaiah Steadman) and will give special aid in raising the desired sum. If requested the list will be printed in the U. D. c. Col umns It is suggested that some Chap fer take the initiative and communi- cate with each Chapter in regard to inc matter, collect funds for same. as did "Union Springs" for like object last wear. Let us hear the wish of the Di- vision as early as possible so as to con- I fer with Mrs. Randolph:
