Editors Courier : Will you kindly give me spaoe in your valuable paper for some reminiscences of the civil war in the sixties? In doing so, it is not to perpetuate triumph, hate or oivio discord, but simply to pay a~f tribute to the chivalry and courage ot the Confederate soldier, and what they endured io those days of blood, io the fire and smoke of battle, and to impress the young and those who come after to respeot forever the men who wore the gray, upon which the Lord Qod Almighty laid the sword of His eternal knighthood. It was the private soldier in the ranks that will make the name of Lee and JakBon ride down the ages, winning for themselves immortal fame. The ranks of that grand army which ex cited the admiration of the world during that bloody struggle will very soon be on the other side of the river. They are tho most wonderful men in the world, constituting a olasB absolutely unique, having filled a plaoc in history no other, men ever filled. The armies which under Alexan der conquered tho world, the army whioh followed Ca>sar across tho Rubicon, and that which Napoleon led across the Alps filled no such history aa did the armies of the Southern Confederacy. This, the saddest of all wars, no man was to blame. National questions had growu to such a magnitude that they could not be settled in tho halls of Congress, and they had to bo settled with the sword, (hence that war was a necessity,) and with their blood they settled questions which other wise would stare us in the face to day. As soldiers, they faithfully did their part in establishing the greatest republic on earth and welding to gether the parts of a nation through whom God \? enlightening and sav ing the world. Like brave men, they were more noble in defeat than iu victory. They obeyed to the let ter the last and noblest command of their mighty chieftain to go home and rebuild the fortunes of their de vastated land. We repeat, the Con federate soldiers are the roo*?t won derful men in the world. May the fires of devotion, patriotism, chivalry and courage ever burn upon the altar of tbiB Southern land. J.
