THE VIRGINIA STATE LINE"

The Virginia Safe Line, an organization
under Ma or- General John B. Floyd, rem.
dercd some excellent service during the
war of the Confederacy, but it was
abolished IN 1865 and very little has been
heard about it. There Is no volume In the
Virginia State Library which contains It's
history and we do not even possess copies
of the reports Of Acknowledgement w.
H Richardson during the war. No copy
OF these reports are IN the library of the
tho Congressional Library they are to DO
found appended to tho messages of the
Governor Of Virginia, which were de-
livercd during the war. At least they
exist for the period of Governor Letcher's
administration. and ! am not Informed
whether the Congressional Library con-
tains the messages and documents con-
nected with the administration Of Governor
Workman Smith.
Accompanying this communication send
list taken from the Virginia Document
or 1SS2-'6S, and what appears as docu-
nent IS, showing the officers of the
State Line on February e, 1853. 1t was
transcribed from the copy of those docu-
inents in the Congressional Library al
Washington The State should take steps
in due season to have all these docu-
ments of similar kind copied II it cam
rot find and purchase printed copies OF
the originals. Our military history, un-
less It can be thus picked up will in large
measure be lost. One result Of our mis-
fortune from the destruction by fire OF
the adjutant-generals office, and of the
papers OF the Confederate War Depart
ment and of General Lee. Is that we have
not yet been fully credited with our Con-
stitutons and of military service In
various wars. The effort made through
Major r. w. Hunter under act of the
General Assembly has broughlsio light
many Confederate muster rolls and due
diligence to restore our scattered hstor-
ical relics Is likely to be quicker rewarded
