OFFICERS AND HOUSES.
It I* Olorions to be an Officer or a
Horse.
Address by Hugh Wilson, which was Not
Delivered Before the Confederate Survivors"
Association at Abbeville.
Xover, until doomsday, will each and every
one of us set justice. The honors, the perils,
and'.the glory of this earth are great incentives
to the writers and makers of history.
So t?ound up in the consciousness of his
own heroism Is the orator that he is generally
unequal to the task of making an even
or equitable division of the honors, to which
all are equally entitled. The private soldier
who bad the scantiest rations, the poorest
clothing, and who was often exposed to dangers
from which the officers could protect
themselves, is in times of peace, entitled
to his meed ol praise, as well as !o a just
recognition lor valiant service.
In whatever I say, I would not detract one
iota from the splendor and glory which at?r>
the career of anv defender of his
country: nor would 1 dim a single Jewel that
bedecks the starry diadem that crowns the
patriot's head.
I am willing to give all honor and all
praise to every deserving person, but I am
not willing to give the officers and horses all
the praise, while denying due credit to those
unassuming comrades who bore the brunt
and burden of the buttle.
What I contend for. Is the fact that all the
courage and all the honors of war. and all the
glory of history are not confined to the commanding
officers, i leave it for an impartial
public to say if the patriotism and gallautry
of the private soldier has not been as
completely ignored as possible, and I think
that no one will deny that the glory ot
the commanding officers have been sung in
season and out of seasou, even to such an extent
as to make the whole head sick and the
whole heart faint.
This is the season for the annual re-union
of the Confederate Veterans, and I have noticed
with more or less care the published accounts
of the speeches on several difTerent occassions.
As yett I have not observed that any pri
vale so'cuer nas ever uiKt-u ? uuiauic (>m ?
the war between the States.
MUTUAL ADMIRATION ASSOCIATION*.
The reading of the accounts of these meetings
ot Confederate Veterans suggests the
idea that such organizations would be more
appropriately named "The Confederate Officers'
Mutual Admiration and Horse Memorial
Association."
AN ORTHODOX SPEECH.
I was particularly struck with this idea
recently in reading General Butler's speeeb
before the James D. Nance Camp of Newberry.
The speech itself is perfectly orthodox,
and is in exact accord with the speeches
which are usually delivered on these occasions.
After some sophomoric periods in eulogy of
the American soldier, the General devote,d
his energies to telling what he knew of the
"Battle of Brandy Station." He enumerates
the names of many officers who were engaged
in that fight and tbeu brings in the horses,
speaking of General Lee's horse by name.
As far as 1 noticed the only private soldier
that attracted General Butler's attention in
that memorable battle was that of Fayette
Turner, who had killed a Union solThf,
/lonopul uml rVklonp! ITtirlPv wprp
struck with a shell. Farley was killed. The
General lost u leg, horses were killed, but we
have little record of the presence of auy private
soldier at the battle of Brandy Station,
except when a few of tbeni caine to carry oil
the wounded officers.
Various apostrophes are ludulgcd in when
naming some of the Colonels and Captains,
but if auy private soldier was wouuded or
killed In the "Battle of Brandy Station,'' the
fact, if mentioned in the General's long
speech, has escaped my notice, but he does
make this and other mention of liorses:
"My poor, faithful horse, wbo had borne me
safely through so many perilous places,
bounded in the air, landing me, saddle, and
accoutrements and all in the road. Farley's
horse dropped him under my feet, or rather
foot, as it was then."
Then are mentioned some wounded
officers engaged iu the battle, and he says:
"Tbey were soon Joined by a lew devoted soldiers,
such as could be spared from the lines,
[a doubtful compliment] and we were borne
oil," etc.
THE HEROES OF BRANDY STATION.
The two instances where soldiers are mentioned
were the above. Tne horses, General
Butler says, "were in the pasture:" 7mv
Uorse." "Farley's horse," "General Lee's
horse," were somewhat conspicuous, but
tlie soldiers were "?ny regimeut," or
"Colouel" somebody's else Regimeut.
a confederate's stokv ok union valor.
Instead of attempting to follow the example
of General Butler In his exordium in
nonorof the valor and military glory of the
Americau soldier, which tils one place as
well as another, and which has no local
application or personal relerence, I will introduce
a story of Gettysburg, in honor of a Union
soldier, as told by a Confederate soldier.
The wounded were carried to the rear from
the.battle of ChicKainauga. On my arrival at
the place for treatment a soldier lying ou the
lloor hailed me, aud as I approached him 1
found that we were old acquaintances. That
soldier was William Rogers of Calhoun's Mills.
He bad come with Longstreet's corps
from Virginia, and, like myself In the battle
of Chlckamauga, bad received wounds, with
this ditlerence, ins wound ended his liie, but 1
am with you today. We talked long and
much, reciting our experiences; he telling me
of the hardships and battles ot Virginia and
I relating to him tbe varied experiences ol
the Western soldier.
Among the thiugs of which we spoke was
the battle of Gettysburg; he claiming that it
was one of the grandest battles that was ever
fought and one of the most sublime efforts ol
human valor.
When I asked him if he thought the Union
soldiers fought as gallantly and as bravely as
the Confederate soldier, he said that the courage
and determlnatiou of tbe Union soldier
could uot be excelled, and be recited In just!
ncation 01 uis assertion, a story wnicn i win
tell, us he told it to me.
Although he hail received a mortal wound,
aud although his life current mlcgled<wilh
thedust and grime ol the battlcof Chlckatnauga,
while the roar of the musketry aud the
thunder ol' the cannon of that territlc fight
were still playing upon his ear drums, his
greater enthusiasm lor the grandeur of the
battle of Gettysburg, and the heroism of the
actors In that memorable scene brightened
his eyes as he related his story of the thrilling
scenes which had made Gettysburg historic.
He said: "The enemy's cannon poured
Into the Confederate ranks shot
and shell from almost every suitable place ou
Ihe heights, and the Confederate plan of attack
was so arranged that our batteries from
the valley below played upon every part ol
the hill which was occupied by Uuiou soldiers.
One ol the Union batteries was in front ol
the command of which ltoge>s was a part.
The battle raged. The number of oillcers aud
meu at one ol the Federal guns grew less and
less. As the number diminished each man
performed the duty of a lallen comrade. This
decrease of numbers continued until there
was only four meu; then there were three:
then there were two. In a little while there
was but a single gunner. He stood bravely at
his post busy at his work ol liring his canuon
though the storm of death had cut down all
his comrades. He stood until he alone fired
once, and then in attempting to reload his
cannon he himself fell to rise no more."
Although Rogers faced the dangers of Gettysburg
and fell atChickamauga, has his name
ever been mentioned in this Court House, or
at any other of our re-unlons ?
WHY IS TIUS?
Who ever heard of the valor, the suSering,
the sacrifice and death of the private soldier?
Why are the deeds of daring, and the noble
sacrifice on the part of the private soldier forever
ignored? Wby Is it that tlieii gallantry
is forever slighted that we may praise and eulogize
only the commissioned officer?
J believe that 1 have never attended any
public meeting In which the gallantry of the
commissioned officers of the army has not
been duly recognized, but who has heard the
na/ne of any private soldier at any of our
public meetings, or at any of our re-unlons?
HEROES WUO ARE FORGOTTEN.
John O.Brooks served faithfully throughout
Ihe war, but his privation, his Ildelily,
an?l his facing of danger has not been noted.
Who in all this assembly has heard of the
name of the solid, honest, earnest William C.
Davis, who fell in one of the many battles of
Virginia, lie was once a citizen of Abbeville,
a lawyer and the editor of the Abbeville Banner.
William White, who was no less a scholar
than a soldier, surrendered his life in Virginia.
If his name lias been mentioned, we have
Jost sight of the fact.
John M. McDonald went out from amongst
us, as Jovial, as happy, as hopeful, and as
fearless as any who left Abbeville. Has anybody
said a word about him, though he lost
his life by a fatal shot, while yet a bridegroom
?
What of Moses T. Owens and Sam Kussell ?
They went to their graves from battle wounds,
but their valor has not been recorded by their
countrymen.
H^zekiah Hall of this county was a eheer?21
s.cd urave soldier in the weal. He never
missed roll call, whether for duty, for the
march or for participation lu the subllmest of
all human contests. He fell in battle. Nhbody
now living has heard of his soldierly
bearing or ot' his untimely death. He had
neither kindred nor fortune to perpetuate his
name, or to glorify his deeds.
Where is Jesse Tribble. who was as bright
and as swift a type-setter as ever stood before f
a case? He lost his life at Look Out Moun- '
tain, near Chattanooga, and we hear his name
uo more, and his valor is unkown. 1
Where is Lewis Kernels and William Godfrey?
They gave their young lives to the I
cause of their country, but nobody now
knows who they were. I
It may be that half-dozen men remember
Ham I'errin and Robbie Wardlaw, but it Ik '
doubtiul if anybody knows where they lost
the lives in which" so much of hope and <
so much of promise were bound up.
Who remembers Manly Dariington and
Jo Krimminger ? They volunteered from the j
printing otHce at Due \Vest, aud soon went to
unknown graves on the sacred soil of Vir- ]
giuia.
Jasou T. Brooks, modest and gentle, true
and brave, fell in the war, but his name has
uot been inscribed ou the pages ol history. i
Charley Cetuph was another printer who
gave his life tor the Confederacy, hut nobody
has thought of him or of his death. <
John T. Hodges, a priuter in the oflice of I
the Independent Press, braved the dangers ol
war, and soon succumbed to tatal disease, <
and his existence is not recorded.
W'fst there was not
a truer or braver soldiei, or a Kindlier heart
than Captain Addison Clinkscales of Mils
county, but our orators on these memorial i
occasions have not even mentioned his name.
Who of you know the name of Nathaniel i
Knox? lie left Abbeville as the color bearer 1
of his regiment?a position which is given
only to the brave. He bore thai Hag in deriiitjct'oi
the opposing lorce until he iilmseli
lei I pierced by a fatal shot. A kindlier or
more genial Irishman never came Irotn the
Emerald Isle, or ie'l the bride of liis heart, to
light the battles of the country of his adoption.
As noble an instance of patriotism and
self-denial as was ever exemplified by trail
humanity was furnished in the persou oi
Rev. K. \V. Ilorue, of Kdgelield county, who
was at one time chaplain of the 1'Jlh fs. C. V*.
Regiment. Recognizing the fact that the Rev.
Burkhead, who volunteered in company U,
of the same regiment, and served as company
chaplain, was more popular as a preacher,
he said to his company at the re-organl/.ation
iu -May, 1802, if they would elect him
Lieutenant that he would resign the boombproof
chaplaincy, and share with them the
dangers of the battle and the fatigues of the
march. They elected him to a commissioned
office and he afterward was promoted to
the command of the company. A more
faithful officer never wore a sword. During
the war he fought the battles of his
country. On his return, until the grave closed
oyer his body, he was no less a faitblul soldier
of the<cross, than he was a gallant warrior lor
nis couutry.
THK CHEAT ARMY OK KOK<iOTTEN PATRIOTS.
I mention instauces where men of valor are
neglected. They are not a handful as compared
to the great armj of lorgotten patriots
who gave up their lives and whose death is unnoted.
Their names are lorgotten. But not
so with the tew honored officers and their
"poor, faithful horses.'
From the uames of the living and the dead,
which I mention, it will be seen that patriotism
and valor are confined to no class of men.
The least assuming citizen may have the
heart of a lion, while the polished and more
pretentious gentleman may be weak and
chicken-hearted. Beneath the rough exterior
may be found as noble a heart as ever died
lor a Nation?a heart with which a glorified
officer's heart may have ill-compared.
Although the late war, like a great cyclone,
swept all men from their homes, and into the
lleld of danger, yet the history of that great
multitude who leit this county has been reduced
to eulogies?to thrice told tales?of the
gallantry and bravery of perhaps a dozen
men. The suffering, the valor, the struggles
and the death of hundreds on the tented field
or in the thrilling scenes of battle count as
nothing compared to the valor of a few commissioned
officers.
TEARS OVER HORSES.
Our speakers at the soldiers' reunionseulogiseone
another, and tuen by way
of sentiment, may shed a few tears over some
faithful horse, but who has said a word ol
any private soldier's heroism.
According to my way of thinking, if you
and I bad fallen on the battlefield or yielded
to the diseases of the camp, we would now be
forgotten. We would Have only swenea me
numbers of tbe slaiu. Our names would not
appear, or it they did appear, tbey would act
only as a back ground to set otr some Colonel
and bis horse.
OF THE LIVING.
Witb your permission I sball speak a word
or two of tbe living.
There Is J. Marion Carlisle?a good man
any where?a true soldier, and a worthy citizen,
discharging every duty and facing every
danger. Who has spoken of his valor, or attempted
in anyway to relieve bis privations
and bis hard lot in peace which is Incident to
tbe fact of bis bravery and daring in war.
At tbe battle of Chlckamauga he lost a leg.
Since then be has struggled for existence.
Disabled and unfortunate, he has found it
dltlicult to live. Have you as individuals, or
as a body, contributed anything for bis relief'.'
Have you recognized bis valor by making
a thank-otfering to Almighty God for
your preservation from fatal shot or deadly
disease?
John Wilson went Into the war with the
first of tbe regiments. He was never absent
from bis company but two weeks, when he
bad a furlough. He was with his company
in a hundred battles, but fortune sometimes
favors tbe brave, and be was never wounded.
His bead lswbitenow with the frosts of many
winters, but nobody has beard of this humble
soldier's glorious record.
Andrew Stephenson was in the army of
Northern Virginia. No soldier was more distinguished
for faithfulness to duty botb in
battle or in camp. He served through the
war iron) oegiuuiug iu uiemiuiuK. auu with
noted lor Ills enthusiasm and tire in tile storm
of the battle, being a fair type of the American
soldier. .
Among ail the eulogies that have been delivered
has any one remembered, Major J. L.
White, than whom none ever fought more gallantly.
In all the war he acted nobly. At
Ublcamagua he distinguished himself.
As distinct a failure to recognize the
bravery, valor and devotion to duty, as can
be found anywhere, is in the person of Dr.
W. A. Lee, who, after facing the Federal fleet
before Fort .Sumter, commanded an Abbeville
company in Virginia. He was with tbe army
in battles under command of his distinguished
kinsman General R. E. Lee. No purer
citizen or braver soldier ever went to battle.
In every way he is the equal of any one
that left Abbeville county. Rut because
of his modesty, no one seems to know that he
was even in the war.
Thomas J. Hearst and John A. Devlin were
among the faithful soldiers who bared their
breasts to Federal bayonets. But they were
not officers, and hence, we presume, their
valor is not heard In song or sung in anthem.
J. D. Etheridge, Thos. A. Watson and William
Muchat lost each a leg. W. B. Acker
lost an arm, but uo one has noted the fact
that either of them were ever in tbe army.
Has any one ever mentioned the heroism ol
our wonhy President and our gallant Adjutant?
One lost a foot in battle?the other
lost an arm. They are with us today, but
their valor and their patriotism iu the ranks
was notable and praiseworthy.
The moral of the foregoing is, that the soldiers
should take some steps to perpetuate
the truth of history, and show to future generations
wherein the soldierof the Lost Cause
did his duty. Why should not a historian be 1
appointed by this body, who would undertake
the difficult task as a labor of love?
Let some one from each company write a
historical sketch, in which the valor and
services of the private soldier may be recognized,
and iu which, if no more, the bare
name of every patriot may appear. In a little
while these Confederate veterans will lose
all interest in listening to the old, old story
of the war in which they fought, but ol
which we hear so little, except of official
glory.

A Freight Tr&in Wrecked.
Columbia, July 28.?A terribU
freiebt wreck occured at 3 o'clock this
morning on the Columbia and Green
ville Road, just three miles north ol
the city. An engine was made old
iron and seven cars were totally de
stroyed, but miraculously no livet
were lost, though Engineer Madder
and Fireman McDonald were serious
ly hurt.
As far as could be learned th<
wreck oceured as follows : The regu
lar freight train from Greenville, ic
charge of Conductor Robb and Engi
neer Laud, had reached a heavy gradt
near the city. The train consisted o
forty-seven cars, and when the engint
got to the steep grade just north of tb(
cemetery it was stalled and could noi
pull over. Conductor Robb sent hii
ilagman out, as he was bound to dc
under any circumstances, but h<
knew that a special freight train was
just behind him. It is said that th<
engineer thought he might succeed ir
making the pull over the grade, and ir
attempting to do so a coupling pit
broke and Ave cars rushed backwards
down the grade. The Ilagman was or
duty, but he could do nothing, anc
the cars rushed backwards, gaiuing
velocity at every turn of the wheel.
Just about this time the extra trair
came iu sight, and knowing the hard
run he had to make up the grade
Eugiueer Madden was running al
about forty-five miles an hour. See
ing the cars coming down on him be
reversed his engine, and had hardly
time to do that when the crash came,
His engine was knocked completely
ofFthe track and jumped diagonally
nnmaa it, tn one side.
The wreck covered both bim and his
fireman in a mass of wood and iron,
and the escaping steam made it almost
certain that they would be roasted
to death. Both, however, aftei
extraordinary efforts pulled themselves
out, and though badly injured thej
will not die.
The wreck immediately caught fire
from the engine, and soon the sevec
cars were reduced to asbes. The engine,
too was so badly damaged thai
nothing remains of it except a mass o]
iron. <
The collision made a loud report,
which was heard in the city. As soou
as it was all over a runner came tc
Columbia and gave information about
the wreck, and a train was immediately
sent out. Large crowds visited the
scene to-day, and the Palmetto Fire
Engine was sent out by the city tc
extinguish the tire and enable "the
wreckiug traiu to clear the track.
So far as can be learned none of Iht
train crew was at fault. Conductoi
Robb, as soon as he realized that tht
engine could not pull over the grade,
went forward. He left a negro on tht
rear of the traiu and sent Brakeinan
Townes back the regulation distance,
When the train broke the negro on tht
cab, seeing the danger, jumped and
was not injured.
Engineer Madden aud Fireman
McDonald were sent to the hospital.
It was learned that neither of ihena
have received any internal injures and
that they will be out again in a few
days.
Where the wreck occured the Statt
Penitenitiary had about fifteen cords
of wood stacked up. This was all
L..?? ~,1
uui lieu.
The rear train had only a few boxei
besides the engine. Only one of these
boxes was thrown of!" the track and
was burned. The others remained
uninjured on the track. The burned
cars were loaded mostly with cotton
seed hulls, which, with the engine,
will represent a loss of nearly $30,001
to the Southern Railroad.
Another wreck occured from sirni
liar causes at tue same place several
years ago, aud, as in this ease, no lives
were lost, although several people
were seriously wounded. 80 far as
can be learned the accident seems to
have been unavoidable. Trains often
stall on this grade, and it is often the
case that they have to be divided before
they can be brought to the city.
It was likely the intention to do this
this morning, but the breaking of the
coupling pin upset all calculations and
caused the accident.
Asa consequence none of the trains
to Asbeville or Ureeville went out
this morning.
A track was completed around the
wreck this afternoon aud ihe delayed
(Spartanburg aud Asheville trains
proceeded, and nil passenger (rattle
was resumed.
