"HEADQUARTERS, MARYLAND LINE, JUNE 26TH, 1864. General Order, No. 26.
Lient. Col. Ridgely Brown, Commanding the ist Maryland' Cavalry, fell in battle on the ist instant, near the South Amma. He died as a soldier prefers to die, leading his men in a victorious charge. As an officer, kind and careful,-as a soldier, brave and true-as a gentleman, chivalrous-as a christian, gentle and modest. No one in the Confederate Army surpassed him in the hold he had npon the hearts of his men and the place in the esteem of his superiors ; . of the rich blood Maryland has . lavislied on every battle-field, none is more precions than this, and that of our other brave comrades in arms who fell during the four days pre- vious in the hill-sides of. Hanover. His command has lost a friend most steadfast, but his commanding officer is deprived of an assistant invalu- able. To the first lie was ever careful, as a father ; to the latter, as true as a brother. In token of respect to his memory, the colors of the differ- ent regiments of this command will be draped, and the officers wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
By order of, COL. BRADLEY T. JOHNSON, GRO. W. BOOTH, A. A. G."

MURRAY ROOM.
This room is furnished by the Murray Association in memory of their Captain, Win. H. Murray, of Anne Arundel County, Md. He entered the service of the Confederate States June 18th, 1861, and was killed at Gettysburg. July 1863. His picture hangs on the wall ; also a picture of his mounment at Loudon Park Cemetery. This'room is in oak and con- tains 4 beds with woven wire springs and hair mattresses. The floor is covered with a large rug, and the other furniture consists of wardrobes, washstand, dressing case, tables, toilet set and various other articles which enure to the comfort of the members ..
Capt. Murray was a most lovable character, modest and unassuming in disposition, pure and chaste in his conversation, tender and considerate for those under his charge ; no one occupied a warmer place in the affect- ions of their men than did this gallant sollier. His soldierly qualities 'were as marked as was his personal character unblemished. He will ever live in the memory of those who knew him, and their sorrow over his carly fall is just as keen to.day as it was thirty years ago. To. their chil- dren will his character be handed down as an example worthy of emula- tion, as a Maryland soldier who reflected the honor of his State and whose private life was bright with christian virtues.
BRIGADIER GENERAL, HENRY LITTLE BUILDING.
This building contains a bath room and memorial rooms as follows : Virginia, MeKim, Baltimore Light Artillery, Little, Colston, Marshall, Stonebraker, Goodwin, and Chantilly.
Gen. Little was born in Baltimore, March 19th, 1817; his record is as follows : U. S. Army, 2nd Lieutenant 5th Infantry, July ist, 1839; ist Lieutenant 7th Infantry, April ISth, 1845 ; Brevet Captain for gallant conduct at Monterey, Mexico, September 23rd, 1846 ; Captain 7th Infan- try Angust 20th, 1847; resigned May 7th, 1861.
Confederate States Army : Colonel and Adjutant General, Staff of Gen. Price, May 1861; Brigadier General April 16th, 1862 ; April 22nd, 1862, . Brigadier General in Command of Confederate forces in the vicinity of Rienza, on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad.
Gen. Henry Little was engaged in the battles of Pea Ridge, or Elkhorn Tavern, Arkansas, March 6tlı-Stlı, 1862; killed at battle of Iuka, Miss. September 19th, 1862, commanding ist Division, Army of the West.
In a letter from Genl. Earl Van Dorn to Genl. Beauregard, dated April 27tl1, 1862, he says : " I want Little as Major General."

CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS' HOME.
Genl. S. Price, in his report of the same battle, says : "The brunt of the action fell during the early part of the day upon my right wing, con- sisting of Genl. Slack's and Col. Little's brigades ; they pushed forward gallantly against heavy odds, and the most stubborn resistance, and were victorions everywhere."
Gen. S. Price, in his report of his retreat from Missouri, says : " Col. Henry Little commanding the ist Brigade * * * covered the retreat from beyond Cassville and acted as the rear guard. The Colonel com- manding deserves the highest praise for increasing watchfulness and the good management of his entire command. I heartily commend him to your attention."
Genl. Sterling Price, in his report of the battle of Inka, says : "It will thus be seen that our success was obtained at the sacrifice of many a brave officer and patriot soldier, chief among them was Brig. Genl. Little, commanding the ist Division of this Army. Than this brave Marylander no one could have fallen more dear to me, or whose memory should be more fondly cherished .by his countrymen. Than him, no more skillful officer, or more devout patriot has drawn his sword in this War of. Inde- pendence. He died in the day of his greatest usefulness, lamented by his friends, by the brigade of his love, by the Division which he so ably com- manded and by the Army of the West, of which he had from the begin- ning been one of the chief ornaments."
Brig. Genl. Louis Herbert, in his report of the same battle, says : " Early in the action, when the main charge had been ordered, Brigadier General Little was instantly killed by a minnie ball, and the command of : the Division devolved on the undersigned. The fall of the General was immediately known throughout the lines, but far from creating constern- ation, panic or confusion, every officer and every soldier seemed to become animated with new determination. The leader whom they had learned to love and esteem, and in whom they had full confidence, had fallen-the foc who had deprived them of him was in front, and revenge was within their grasp. The Ist Division of the Army of the West will ever remem- ber and venerate the name of Henry Little."

THE BALTIMORE LIGHT ARTILLERY ROOM.
This room is most tastefully aud comfortably furnished by the surviving members of that battery, the 2nd. Maryland Artillery, in memory of their deceased comrades.
The Baltimore Light Artillery was one of the best known batteries in the Artillery arm of the Confederate Service, and no one organization did more to maintain the honor of our State and her fair faine, than did this body of young Marylanders. The Battery was formed in the early part of the fall of 1861, and was ordered to report to Genl. J. E. Johnston, then in command of the Army at Centreville, Va. The intelligence of its. coul- manders-the gallantry and skill with which their guns were handled, soon attracted the attention of all, and from the actions in the Valley, under Jackson, the severe battles around Richmond, to the culmination of their active operations in 1862 at Sharpsburg, their valor and devotion were most conspienous. After the return to Virginia, the battery was . directed to report to Genl. W. E. Jones, in command of the Valley Distriet. who had also under his command the ist Maryland Cavalry and the 2nd Maryland Infantry. From this time on, the battery served with . the Cavalry Corps. In this service they added to the high reputation they had already achieved, and no service was too arduous for them to undertake- no danger too great for them to face, and in no instance did they ever prove unworthy of the confidence which was reposed in them by those in whose support they were so frequently called upon to take position's of greatest peril. . Under the gallant Brockeuborough, Griffin and MeNulty, they achieved a fame second to no similar organization, and its surviving members have been as true to each other in the latter days of peace, as were they in the trying scenes which proved their manhood and courage. They have maintained the memories of the past by forming a social or- ganization, and the furnishing of this memorial room is but one of the fruits of their love and appreciation of the cause for which they so nobly fought, endured privation, and for which so many of their number died.
GENERAL HENRY LITTLE ROOM.
Furnished by Mrs. Henry Little in memory of her husband. This room is handsomely furnished with oak furniture ; contains 2 beds woven wire springs and hair mattresses. The pillows in this room were made of the feathers from the game which Geul. Little shot during his life time. A fine picture of the General also adorns the wall of the room ; also portraits of Lee and Jackson, the charge of the First Maryland Infantry, the prayer in Stonewall Jackson's Camp. .
MARSHALL ROOM.
In memory of Brothers Robert I. Taylor Marshall, a member of the Washington Artillery ; killed at Beverly's Ford, August 23rd, 1862 ; and James Markam Marshall, of the Black Horse Company, of the Fourth Virginia Cavalry, who died for his country September 5th, 1862.
The room contains oak furniture, and was furnished by their brother Col. Charles Marshall, of Genl. Robert E. Lee's Staff.

STONEBRAKER, ROOM.
This room is substantially furnished by Joseph R. Stonebraker, who was a member of Company C, First Maryland Cavalry, as a memorial to his brother, Edward L. Stonebraker.
GOODWIN ROOM.
Furnished by C. Ridgely Goodwin, Esq., in memory of his brother, Frank Greenwood Goodwin. This room is furnished in oak and is very comfortable.
Frank Greenwood Goodwin, tenth child of Robert Morris Goodwin, of Maryland, was born in Savannah, Ga., November 13th, 1846. He was at school at Chattanooga, Ten., early in 1861. In April 1861 he joined the Oglethorpe Light Infantry, of Savannah, and with that company went to Virginia, under command of Capt. Frank Bartow, taking part in the first Battle of Manassas (Bull Run). The Company became a part of the 8th Georgia Regiment, G. T. Andrews' Brigade, Hood's Division, Long- street's Corps. At the Battle of Seven Pines he was shot through the arm, went to his home, and within a month returned to his counnaud. Participating in all the battles of the Army of Northern Virginia, Frank Goodwin gave his life to his country at Gettysburg, July 3, 1863, aged 17 ..
If there is anything in the theory of heredity, Frank Goodwin could not help from, being a rebel ; his ancestors were rebels in the time of Moses -- his ancestors were rebels at the Battle of Sterling, under William Wallace-his ancestors were rebels under Cromwell -- his Grandfather was an officer under the rebel, George Washington-his Father was an officer under Andrew Jackson, at New Orleans, and it was in the natural order of things that this boy and his brothers should be rebels under Robert E. Lee. "That which is bred in the bone, must come out in the flesh."
CHANTILLY ROOM.
This is a, small hall room, with a single bed, and furnished by Mrs. H. F. Going, who has been active and helpful in all matters connected with Confederate Work.
Chantilly was an estate on the picket line, while the Army was encamp- ed at Centreville, in the Autumn of 1861, and is associated with pleasant recollections by members of the First Maryland Infantry.
WILLIAM E. COLSTON ROOM.
This room was one of the first furnished and presents an attractive and comfortable appearance.
William E. Colston was born in Washington, March 24th, 1839, but his early years were spent in Virginia, the home of his ancestors. He came to Baltiincre about 1857, and was among the first to go to Virginia when the war broke out.
On June Ist, 1861, he enlisted as a private in Co. B, Maryland Guard, attached to the 21st Virginia Infantry, but when the Ist Maryland Regi- ment was formed, was transferred to Co. H, Capt. Win. H. Murray, June 18th, 1861. In this Company he served in all the campaigns and battles of the year, and at the Battle of Cross Keys, June Sth, 1862, in
