Looking Ovor tho Sovon Pinos Battlefield, He is Rominded of tho "Timos that Trlod Men's Souls." Editors Courier : It was my privi lego and pleasure recently to visit tho historic old city of Richmond, Va near whose borders in tho GO's so many tragic scones wore enaotod, whore blood was poured out like water upon tho soil, and thc dead lay by the thousands; where tho slain on both sides fell upon tho same lield of carnage, mingled to gether, having fought sometimes three or four times over tho same ground, livery old soldier knows this to ho true. In going to Richmond I lirst went to Columbia, S. C. On the 80th of October, at ?>.4?) A. M., I hoarded the Seaboard Air Line train at Colum bia for Richmond, a vestibule train in charge of Conductor Walter Gibson, who is ray son. It being a vestibule train, very few stops wero made on tho way. Thc Seaboard Air Line Railway system is one of thc best, if not tho best equipped railways in thc South. Thc passen ger coaches arc of thc latest, best and finest make, with all modern im provements, right up to date. No pains have been spared to make trav eling a pleasure and comfoit on said road. Thc engines arc of tho very best build that modern skill and ingenuity can devise, being very largo, with six feet driving wheels. The speed is all that could bc desired. Engines arc equipped with electric headlights which throw a light on thc track ahead of tho engine almost as bright :ts day, enabling tho onginocr to sec objects on tho track at a long distance, thereby militating very much to lessen the danger of accidents, making it just as safe to travel on this great railway by night as by day. These engines arc truly marvels of mechanical art, and the track is of thc very best construction, being laid with heavy steel rails. Thc system has built 189 milos of new track within the last year, which have been open to the public since the 3d of June, 1000. Wc arrived at Richmond about 5.80 I*. Nf., distance from Columbia 859 miles. In passing through Petersburg, or rather through thc western side of thc city, the railroad crosses thc obi canal-not now being used for boats. Twenty-ii ve ol thirty feet above thc old mills rue., supplied by thc canal, and which many an old soldier will remember. These old mills were about the only objects that seemed to have under gone no change since thc war. They look just like they did thirty-live years ago-no better no worse. Thc old waterwheel was just "grinding" on and looked just like it did then, and for aught I know never has stepped. Thc next morning after arriving at Riehmond we (Walter and myself) took the electric railway running from thc city to thc "Seven Pines" battle grounds. Arriving at thc ter minus of tho roadway wo took a stroll through thc woods out to thc old breastworks, which, to my sur prise, were in a remarkable slate of preservation. Thc forest still re mains and looks very mindi as it did when it was lighting ground. As I walked on top of th OHO old breastworks my mind was carried back to the times when to have walked lhere would have meant almost instant death ; and then again when I thought of the blood that has boen poured out upon that . ry ground by thosegiving up their lives battling for the cause we all believed to bo right, baptizing it with their hearts' precious blood, I felt that I was standing upon hallowed ground. 1 did not have time to go over as hinch of the old battle grounds as ? would like to have done. We returned to tho city, and in the afternoon visited the Jeff Davis mansion, now used as a Confederate museum, in which are found many war rollCS. To enumerate would 1)0 simply out o? tho question. I had no idea that such a vast collection of war relics could over have been got ten together. Among tho most in teresting is thc uniform of (Jen. Lee, Which ho wore at the surrender at. Appomattox, his sword, pistols and saddle and camp equipments ; also tho Uniforms of Gon, j\ IC, li. Stew art, den. Jackson and others, with camp outlits, consisting of variou. aniden usod by thora in camp life. No place oould bo of more intorost to tho old Holdior than this museum. A room in sot apart for oaoh Southern State, and in thora are the relies con tributed by the people of the respect ive States. The South Carolina roora is the one in whioh ' Wlh?te Davis was born. The old soldier going to Riob> raond oould not lind a more interest ing placo to visit than this museum. Among the many things to be seen thero is ono of John Brown's picks, a very formidable looking weapon either for offonso or dofense. We then took a turn through the Capitol grounds. Everything looked just as it used to, only with tho addi tion of tho bronze pedestrian statue of Gen. S tone wallJ ackson mounted on a granite pedostal, standing near tho northwest side of tho grounds. Tho statuo wns presented to the State of Virginia by some English gentlemen, admirers of Gen. Jaokson. Or the pedestal is tho following inscription : Presented by English Gontlomon as a tributo of admiration for tho Soldier and Patriot, THOMAS J. JACKSON, And gratefully aocoptod by Virginia in tho namo of tho Southern Pooplo. Dono A. D. 1876, In tho hundredth year of tho Commonwealth. "Look, th oro is Jackson standing Uko a stone wall." Thus wo soo how this great gene ral, soldier and patriot is admired by people on tho other sido of tho water, where fame is known and lauded throughout the civilized world. In connection with what I have already said as to the Seaboard Air Line Railway, I would not pass tho Southern Railway system unmen tioned. The Southern is not being left behind if the recent improve mont on the Columbia and Green ville division is to bo taken ns an example of what is being done all over tho system. Tho passonger coaches are of tho newest, ti nest and up to date make, and the track of the very best construction, making tho travel so comfortable that tho trip between Columbia and Green ville can bc modo without being the. least bit tired. And thero is Capt Rilly Smith and Capt. Oscar Hughs, two veteran conductors on tho Co iurabia and ( ?reenville division, al ways polite, courteous and accommo dating. Passengers need never fear my trouble or inconvenience while in their care, for certainly they will lave no lack of care so far as in the lower lies of those two accomplished conductors. Thc South has groat reason to bo arOud of these two great railway sys tems. They are doing much to mild up and develop tho couutry nto which their Humorous lines .emirate. But I must stop lest I make this sommunioation too long. II. A. H. GinsoN Walhalla, November 14, 1900. Hacking I h?re is nothing so bsd for a cough as coughing.

He de dares that the native? aro intelligent, ndustrious, cultured and hard work ng, as a rule. They aro not pricst .idden and ignorant, aa many would cad the world to believe, and Parker ays the majority of them have more ?chso than their traducers. All are true to Aguinaldo and ove their country, ami are far from icing subdued. Aguinaldo has been called a trai or to his own country. He did sell mt to the Spanish government for 1 j 110,000,000 in gold, but he did it for i purpose. As soon as ho got it he vent to Germany and oxpondod .radically all of it for Mauser rifles md ammunition, which were shipped o tho islands while America was till lighting Spain. The islands vere Hooded with those supplies, and tow every Filipino is well armed, ['herc are enough arma in tho eoun ry to keep up a war for twenty 'ears, and they will do it.
