MEDICAL COR Surgeon General Teb Directed to ?a: Atlanta Cc Surgeon General C. M. Tebault, of the United Confederate Veterans, has issued a oircular to tfce survivors of the medical corps of the army and navy of the Confederate States, call ing on them to attend the reunion and to bring with them any data they may have. The circular is an interesting paper and contains many important facts concerning the sickness from diseases and wounds in both armies. It is as follows : "Office of the Surgeon General United Confederate Veterans, 023 North Lafayette Square, New Or leans, La., June 30, 1898-To the Survivors of the Medical Corps of the Army and Navy of the Confederate States--Comrades: The eighth an cua! reunion of the United Confeder ate Veterans will take place on the ?G&, 21st; 22d and 23d of July, 1898, at Atlanta, Gra.-fe historic, patri otic Southern city which was subject ed to the torch after being captured by the Federal army under General Sherman, her helpless women and children and non-combatants made nomeless and shelterless refugees in a | ?and scarred and desolated by more t?i?fi 2,000 hard fought, bloody bat tlefields, and whose territory, almost to a foot, had felt the thunderbolts of a most cruel and destructive war. The great majority not only of the patient and valiant humane surgeons constituting the peerless me'di'cai corps, but the great majority likewise of tiie pure and Valiant men compris* ing all the other great departments of the Confederate government and its matchless army and navy have pre ceded us across the river of time and are now resting under the shade of the trees, awaiting our coming on the eternal plains in the vast impenetra ble beyond. "As survivors of that Christian hearted, distinguished corps of Con federate surgeons, who knew no enemy in their professional work, is there hot a high and pressing important duty remaining to be done, and due, not less tb ourselves than to our de parted and immortal comrades of the same service-a responsible duty to "collect and systematize for reference the correct professional facts relating to our work in field and hospital and military prison in connection with the unequaled, world-wide involving Southern constitutional cause, that the coming historian may with readi ness and with truthfulness record them for future generations to read and appreciate? "Let me here briefly and tersely re cite a few historic facts from official data in my possession of interest to stimulate our further research : Of the thirty-four States and Territories only eleven seceded. In these eleven States the men of military age-from eighteen to forty-five years-number ed 1,064,193, inclusive of lame, halt and blind, etc. On the union side the same class numbered 4,559,872, over four to one, with out estimating the constant accessions from the world at large, augmenting monthly the Union side. "The United States in enlisted men numbered 2,855,028, against not ex ceeding 600,000 on the side of the Southern Confederacy. "With the State of Kentucky, Mis souri, Maryland, West Virginia, Ten nessee and the remainder of the South ern States, the remarkable fact pre sents that the South-the slave States -gave exceeding 300,000 men to the Union side, more than half as macy soldiers as comprised the entire Con federate army. These above facts, derived from the war records, show that there were four armies in the field, each one of which was as large as the entire Confederate army, with out including the more than 300,000 contingent from the South. "In numbers the Federal loss was 67,058 killed and 43,012 died of wounds; total, 110,072. Of Confed erates the like total was 74,524. The Confederates- .had 53,773 killed out right and nl94,026 wounded on the field of battle. More than one-third of the 600,000 Confederates were therefore confided to the Confederate surgeons for battle wounds. For thc nineteen months, January. 1862, to July, 1863, inclusive, over 1,000,000 cases of wounds and sickness were en tered upon the Confederate field re ports, and over 400,000 cases of wounds upon the hospital reports. It is estimated that each of the 600,000 Confederates Jwere, on the average, disabledj-forfgreater or lesser periods by wovnds Jand sickness about six times during the war. The heroic, untiring, important part thus borne by the skillfulJConfederate surgeons in maintaining in the-field an effective army of unexampled "Confederate sol diers must challenge part?cula atten tion. "The destruction by lire of the medical andosurgical records of the Confederate States deposited in the :PS TO MEET. ault Issues a Circular rtime Surgeons. institution. Surgeon General's office in Richmond, Va., in April, 1865, renders the roster of the medical corps somewhat imper fect, hence the need of concerted action on the part of the survivors to bridge this hiatus. The official list of the paroled officers and men of the Army of Northern Virginia, surren dered hy General E. E. Lee, April 9, 11865, furnished 310 surgeons and as ! sistant surgeons. In my first report I presented at the Richmond reunion I showed that the medicad roster for the Arwy Q? Tennessee has been preserved in duplicate. I snail offer in a more detailed report data to prove indispu tably important facts relating to the prisoners of war upon both sides, with the purpose of establishing the death rate responsibility in the premises. It will suffice to mention here that the report of Mr. Stanton, as Secretary of war, on the 19th of July, 1866, exhib its the fact that of the Federal pris oners in Confederate bandi daring the war only 22,570 died; while of the Confederate prisoners in Federal hands 26,436 died. This r?p?rfc does not set forth the exact number of prisons held by each side respec tively. These facts were given more in detail in a subsequent report by Surgeon General Barnes-, of the ?nl ted States army. That tho whole number ot freder?l j?H&?u?rs captured by the Confederates and held in Souther's prisons from first to last during the war was in round numbers 270,000, while the whole number of Confederates captured and held in prisoners by the Federals was in like round numbers only 220,000. From these two reports it appears that with 50,000 more prisoners in Southern stockades or other modes of confine ment, the deaths were nearly 4,000 less. According to these figures the pere en tum of Federal deaths in South ern prisons was under nine; while the percentum of Confederate deaths in Northern prisons was over twelve. These mortuary statistics are of no small weight in determining on which side there was the most neglect, cru elty and inhumanity, proclaiming as they do a loss by death of more than 3 per cent, of Confederates over Fed erals in prisons, while the Federals had an unstinted command of every thing. "There is in my keeping unchal lenged evidence to demonstrate that the refusal to exchange prisoners was not due to the Confederate govern ment. "The policy of the Confederates was established by law. By an Act of the Confederate Congress, passed soon after the war was inaugurated, it was provided that prisoners of war should have the same rations in quantity and quality as Confederate soldiers in the field. By an Act afterwards passed all hospitals for sick and wounded prisoners were put upon the same footing with hospitals for sick and wounded Confederates. This policy was never changed. There was no discrimination in either particular be tween Federal prisoners and Confed erate soldiers. Whatever food or fare the Confederate soldiers had, whether good or bad, full or short, the Federal prisoners shared equally with them. Whatever medical attention thc sick and wounded Confederate soldiers had the Federal prisoners in like condition also received. Where the supply of the usual standard medicines was ex hausted and could not be replenished in consequence of the action of the Federal government in holding them to bc contraband of war and in pre venting their introduction by block ade and severe penalties when resort was had to the virtues of healing herbs of the country as substitutes for more efficient remedial agents, the suffering Federals shared these equally with like suffering Confederates. All Confederate surgeons have more or less valuable data in their keeping. Gather these up at once, comrades, resolve to come to this meeting and bring them with you. Each separate fact placed with others in a connected whole will fill in the needed missing links required to perfect the historic part relating to the faithfulness and unfaltering devotion of the Confeder ate surgeons in the thorough and con scientious performance of their hu manitarian professional obligations, regardless of creeds and of national ities, or- whether friends or foemen. The whole number of Confederates surrendered from the 9th of April, 1865, to the 26th of May, 1865, the date of final surrender, under General E. Kirby Smith, was, according to the muster rolls, a little under 175,000. This embraces quite a number who from disease and wounds were not actually in the field at the time. The whole number of Federal forces then in tho and afterwards mustered out of service, as the records show, amounted to in round numbers 1,050, 000. "Thc total loss in killed and died of wounds io the Franco German war was 3 1 per cent ; that of the Austri ans in the war of 1886 2.6 per cent : that of the allies in the Crimea 3.2 per cent. But in our war the hem orrhage was far greater, for the Fed erals lost 4.7 per cent, and the Con federates over 9 per cent, the heaviest loss of any modern army that fell iround its standard. I have here ar rauged a skeleton of facts which, with united and earnest purpose, we can lil out to its full and perfect contour io the honor and credit of our South land. Hoping to meet in Atlanta on :his great occasion a very large num 3er of the surviving members of the Jonfederate medical corps, I beg to subscribe myself, fraternally and sin ;eiely your comrade, ';C. H. TEBAULT, M. D., 'Surgeon General United Confederate Veterans." Clothing tjm Army, "WASHINGTON, July 25.-Clothing he army and navy is one of the most mportant problems presented to the rar and navy departments for solu ion. The Quartermaster General per oras the task for the army and ike .^jmaster General for the navy. In ime of peace the duty involves con iderable labor. In time of war, and specially at the beginning of hostili ies, when the public is crying for a lillian men to be enlisted, clothed nd put at the front in a minute, the ask assumes the proportions of a ?ountain in a fog. Take the Quatta!blaster ?eberah or instance, lt is His duty to see hfct the army is clothed at the very ailiest possible moment. His usual ources of supply are quickly ex lausted. Others must be found, ?ew clothing must be made. The rst thing the Quartermaster General ioes is to ascertain, as nearly as pos ible, the exact number of suits re hired, the kind of suits, the number >f ohoes and underclothing, also hats. Che exact kind is then specified in leta il, and manufacturers and jobbers n that line of business are invited to ubmit bids for the whole or part of he slothing needed. Accompanying ?very bid is a check to guarantee that he terms of the contract will be car ied out to the letter. These bids are submitted, together nth samples of the goods required. Lhe bids are carefully examined and iompared and the lowest bidder (the [uality of goods being satisfactory) ;ets the contract. The goods con racked for must-be ready on time and lelivered to the government. When hey are delivered they are inspected >y government? official's and, if all ight, accepted. Then they are for warded to the storehouse of the army it Philadelphia to await orders. When a regiment is recruited and iworn into the United States service, he Captain of each company makes mt a requisition for the number of miforms needed and forwards the re luisition to the Quartermaster of the .egiment. The Colonel approves of he requisition, and then it is forward id to the Brigade Quartermaster, who, f he has not the clothes required on land, makes a requisition on the Corps Quartermaster. The latter, when uni orms are needed, makes a requisition m the Quartermaster General, who lraws the supplies needed from the lepot at Philadelphia. Upon the delivery of thc clothing iO the Regimental Quartermaster, the Captains of the several companies are ?otified. The Captains march their nen to headquarters and there they eceive the clothing apportioned to .hem, and for which the Captain gives i receipt to the Begimental Quarter nastcr, who keeps it for his voucher, rhe name formula for the issuing of ?lothing is followed in the navy. The army and navy uniforms are nade in nearly every large city of the Jnion. and the cost of those for the )rivates are about $5, and of those for he men before the mast is about $8 >er man. The officers' uniforms range n price from $50 to $75. Quite as important as the clothes ire the shoes. They are common >rogans, these shoes, stout of upper ind mighty of sole and heel. In fact, he army shoe is nota thing of beauty, mt oa the march it is a joy forever, is every veteran knows. They are nade of cowhide, and, if possible, of he hide of a very tough cow at that, ["hey are exceedingly bioad of sole ind heel, and are made with the dou )le view of securing durability and :omfort. \ At the beginning of the civil war ihoes were considered feminine, and yere but little worn. Boots were the 'ashien and they were made to fit like i kid glove. The volunteers, for some nonths after the war began, clung to )Oots, not fancying the uncouth shoe. 3ut after awhile necessity forced men ,o ?ccept the shoes (pontoons they arc ?ailed by thc soldiers), and, after jeing worn for a few days, they were roted a luxury next to milk in coffee, rho service shoe is made by contract, ind averages in cost 75 cents per >air. The regulation sock is made uf wool, md so coarse as to give promise that it viii last through this war. Then here is the woolen undershirt, lt is i very important part of the soldier's clothing. He is given one of these undershirts, which is made of wool. He must wash it himself, wring it out. and let it dry on his body if he is on the march. This method of cleanli ness applies also to the drawers and is possibly accountable for a soldier's walk, suggesting that his thoughts are busy with something else than the much-talked-of remance of war. The sailor men fare better in the matter of clothes than the soldier boys on land. The sailors have one pair of blue and two pairs of white trousers, one white and one blue blouse, one suit of oilskins, two suits of white canvas working clothes, one blue cap, one white cover for cap, one sou'wes ter, two pair of shoes, and last, but, in the language of a soldier, "not least by a hanged sight," two suits of un derclothes. It falls also to the lot of the Quar termaster General and Paymaster General to supply the service with flags. This, likewise, is a big item of expense. The exact amount of ex pense, or the probable number of flags which will be needed for the new array) cannot be learned at present- for the .departments are behind with their re cords, and, to quote the Qnarterma^ ter General, it is doubtful if they will catch up during the present war. Most of the flags are made in Phila delphia, and the hulk of the rest in Boston and Lowell. They are pur chased by contract awarded to th? lowest bidders, and embrace all sizes from the flm?ll signal nag to the com jpahy^ hospital, regimental, brigade, division and corps flags, winding up with the big display flag of the Gen eral's headquarters. One of Jackson's Duels. None of Gen. Jackson's biographers gives the details of his first duel, and h3 himself never cared to speak of tire matter in later years; but some years ago a granddaughter of Col. WaitstiU Avery told me the full story. WaitstiU Avery was a Massachusetts man who weat to North Carolina, carrying with him a letter of recom mendation from no less a personage than Jonathan Edwards. He soon acquired reputation and influence, and in time became Attorney General of the State. It was his custom to take students of law into his family, who became tutors of his children. In 1784, when Andrew Jackson was but 17 years old and ambitious to be come a lawyer, he applied for this situation. The tradition is that he was refused because a daughter of Avery's took a dislike to his uacouth appearance. Young Jackson next applied to Spruce McCay, a lawyer in Salisbury, ! N. C., in whose office he was fitted for the Bar, and he shortly made his ap pearance in the Courts. When Jack son was 21 years of age he and Avery met in the trial of a case at Jonesboro, Tenn. It was Jackson's habit to carry in his saddlebags a copy of "Bacon's Abridgment," and to make frequent appeals to it in his cases. This pre cious book was always carefully done up in coarse brown paper, such as grocers used before the neat paper bags of the present day were invented. The unwrapping of this much-prized volume before a Court was a very solemn function as performed by Jackson. Now Avery had by this time drop ped whatever of Puritan sedateness had commended him to Jonathan Edwards, and was uncommonly fond of a joke. He procured a piece of bacon just the size of the book, and while Jackson was addressing the Court he slipped out the volume from its wrapping and substituted the bacon. At length Jackson had occasion to appeal to Lord Bacon. It was an im proper case, and he would not trust to his memory. He would confound his j opponent by reading from the book itself. While still talking he raised the bearskin flap of his saddlebags, drew out the brown |paper package, carefully untied the string, unfolded the paper with the decorous gravity of a priest handling the holy things of the altar, and then, without looking at what he held in his hand exclaimed triumphantly, "We will now see wnat Bacon says !" The Court, Har, Jury and spectators were convulsed with laughter before Jackson saw the trick that had been played on him. Of course, he was furious. He snatched a pen, and on the blank leaf of a law book wrote a peremptory challenge, which he de livered then and there. He asked for no apology, nothing but blood would do. He commanded Avery to select a friend and arrange for a meeting at once. Avery made uo answer to this pe remptory demand, thinking his pep pery antagonist would laugh, rather than fight, as he grew cooler. But he did not know the young man. Jackson grew hotter instead of cooler. Next morning he sent this note, which was full of bad spelling. My North Caro lina friend had secu thc original, and in copying it had corrected thc or thography; but these art; thc exact words: "Sir: When ;i man's feelings and character are injured he ought to seek a speedy redress. You received a ?ew lines from mc yesterday, and undoubt edly you understand me. My charac ter you have injured, and further, you have insulted me in the presence of the Court and a large audience. I therefore call upon you as a gentleman to give mc satisfaction for the same. And I further call upon you to give me an answer immediately without equivocation, and I hope you can do without dinner until the business is done, for it is consistent with the character of a gentleman when he injures another to make a speedy rep aration. Therefore I hope you will not fail in meeting me this day. From your obt st. "ANDREW JACKSON. "P. S.-This evening after Court adjourns. "Aug 12, 1788." Avery concluded to accept this challenge, and so, in the dust of the summer evening, the duel came off in a hollow north of Jonesboro, in thc presence of the same crowd that laughed at Jackson's predicament. When the word was given Jackson (Jred quickly, and his ball flicked Avery's ear, scratching it slightly. NOW WR8 Avery'? chance to change the later history of bis ?OUDtry, but his Puritan blood asserted itself. He Sred in the air, then advanced and offered Jackson his hand, which w?a accepted.-Youths Companion. - -,. ., "mm . --.. -"Our customers say y?? manufac ture three of the best remedies on ?arth," said the mercantile firm of Haas, Harris, Brim &McLain, of Daw son, Ga., in a recent letter to the Chamberlain Medicine Co.
