Graham, and listened to with intent interest by all present. The gen eral, for several years past, has been making special study of this subject, upon which very little has hitherto been written and about which there are many things involved in doubt. . The general's article has greatly enriched the literature on this subject. Dr. J. Ii. Alexander moved that a vote of thanks be tendered the general for his excellent paper, but the author mod estly requested that the motion be with drawn, saying that he thought" it an un wise precedent. The doctor then in ac cordance with the general's wishes, but under protest, withdrew his motion. The paper was, on motion, referred to a special committee, consisting of Dr. E. Nye Hutchison, Dr. J. B. Alexander and Prof. Graham, to be prepared for publi cation. On motion of Dr. E. W. Roach, Dr. Alexander read a statement correcting the commonly received error that only Virginia troops reached the enemy's breastworks in the Confederate charge on the last day at Gettysburg.
