Notes and Queries.

Our refutation of General Doubleday's slander of General Armistead has elicited hearty thanks from many quarters. Among others a gallant soldier and distinguished citizen (once governor) of another State, who was Armistead's comrade in the Mexican War, writes: "Your complete vindication of General Armistead in your August and September issue, furnished a valuable leaf in the history of the war between the State, and relieves  from calumny the memory of as gallant a soldier, and as true a patriot, as ever drew sword in a just cause."
