13Y REITA.
**** chapter n;
The next day the tnw?ps were busily moving
. from place to place. Colonel Austen was or
tiered to Rocky RlVttr^ Colonel Willis' regt
Vo?ot was atatfowcd on L-river near Mrs.
feayWYuuPs plantation. The troops were busi
ly employed in hunting up "forage," as they
termed it. Douglass Raymond was to rejoiu
iifs command on the sixth. General C. was
. guarding "the Ray Road Bridge on Rocky
River, and Captain Raymond had orders to
inect him there. The last cycufog he spent
with his family was one of sadness to all. Mrs.
Raymond never neglected the family altar.
Regularly twice a day, were the household as
sembled and family worship held. The last
night that Douglass spent at home, he selected
the portion of Scripture for his mother, and
requested her to pray for hiin. A sadness, a
?dark presentiment hung over him. lie could
not shake itvoff,?could not resist the feeling
of sorrow. Gould it be, that ho was going to
meet and face death soon ? Do coming events
?ast tbeir shadows beforo ? When all had as
aomblcd, Mrs. Raymond read, and then knelt
and prayed. Ilcr soul seemed lifted upon the
wingB of faith and hope, as she poured her
soul out in supplication, for the safety ol1 her
husband and childron,?prayed that her pre
cious boy might be spared, that hor husband
?would roturn home from battle. She invoked
the protection of God. besought that pity
might touch the hearts ot our enemies, and
that they would sparo our country, and stay
the ravages of desolation by fire and sword.
She prayed also for strengtli to bear resignedly
the trials that might befall her.
All arose from their knees, feeling stronger,
/hotter, and more prepared to meet the heavy
atrial soon to come upon thorn. Shortly after
prayers, the family retired to thoir chambers;
but sleep was a stranger to their eyes. Doug
lass.tosBcd restlessly from side to side, when,
at last, ho did fall into a troubled do/.o, dark
dreams haunted him, horrid phantoms danced
around him, wild weird forms gazed at him
tears trimming over their eyes, saying to him
in sad, wild strains, "Como with us." And
Mrs. Raymond retired but to pray for hor only
boy. AH night unvoiced supplicatious went
up to a Pather's throno.
At breakfust the next morning, nono could
cat. Douglass only tasted a cup of coffee.
Kate refused to touch any thing at nil. It
was a sad meal to mother and children.
' Douglass made ati attempt to be cheerful;
and finally succeeded so well, as to divert Kato
for a while.
"Muihc-r, you will surely put away your sil
ver, beforo the Yanks come in; wou't you?
I thiuk it would bo a serious loss, if tliey. suc
ceed in taking it from ^?u."
"Do you think we arc going to let thorn get
it, Douglass7"
"Why, sistor, what you do ?"
"No matter, I am not a bit afraid of Yan
kees ;. and I can show them that I am a
daughter or Goucral Raymoud of tho Confodor
rate States Army, and that my brother is a
Confcdorato States CHptain. Douglass, do
you remember thntbraco of pistols, you sent
nie 1 Well, I am going to wear them, when
Sherman and bis army cones on."
The feeble nttcmpt;madc by Captain Ray
mond to assume ehoerfulue?^ foiled. A deep
sorrow had taken possession of his soul. He
had faced death i\\ many forms, had brUVed
the death-dealing bullota on many hardrfought
battlo-ueMs-, and had never quailed. Rut, whon
the hour came for him to leave his mother and
sister, tearu of bittor grief rolled down his face,
lie left thorn situated as they had hover been i
before. An enemy would soon pass through {
the country,?an enemy, that he knew to be
relentless, and merciless. The hour of parting
was inexpressibly painful. Mrs. Raymond
gave way to tears, and wept unrestrainedly for
hours after she' had seen her boy mount and
ride off. i
The days would ViYive hung heavily, had not
their soldier friends called. Colonel Willis'
regiment was stationed only a quarter of a
milo below the "Retreat," and he paid repeat
ed visits. First, lie came to ask Miss Ray
mond to sing for him. He said ho had tiot
I heard a lady's voice discourse sweet music,
since the fall of Vieksburg, until his visit to
Mrs. Raymond's. For several days, ho always
had an excuse for calling; but soon be came
solely to be with Kate, to hear her merry
voice, and watch her bright, laughing face, as
she would make a sharp repartee, in reply to
som3 gallant speech. It has been often said
that "Love follows beauty, as light docs the
suuj" and truly could it bo said of Kate.
.Her brother's many friends were frequent
guents j aud although the Retreat was nearly a
mile from town, no. inclemency of weather pre
vented her ,yisitors /cowljwUing. ... . CuIoiil-1
Willis was always to be found there, wheu duty
did nut call him away.
The week preceding the Clli of Februnry was
a wwk el" excitement to Kate,?a week that
will live in her memory, when other days shall
come, and wheu time 1ms scattered silver
threads in her dark, glossy hair. Tho faint
streaks of light were just tinging the eastern
skies, as u courier came into the town, and re
quested to be shown to General G?, who had
, command of the place. Ho had ridden hard
and seemed weary. The news he brought was
such, that, when it became known, the hearts of
the people of L-sank within them. Thoy
knew that, in a few days, Sherman's army
would bo upon them. The dispatch brought
in only said, "We will fall back on L
River. Rcgiu to move in a few hours. In a
skirmish, lost heavily?will bring off the
wounded." Tho dispatch gave no names, and
it was not till night that it was known who
was among tho wounded. Colonel Austen's
Regiment came into \t~ " - just beforo noon ;
and without halting, the Colonel rode on to
Mrs. Raymond's. His wrts a sad commission.
Captaiu Raymond had been wounded in the
fight, and it was now feared his wound was
mortal. He was being brought on slowly j and
at his request, Colonel Ate ten hurried forward
to acquaint Mrs. Raymond with the sad news.
Colonel Willis had boon to Pee them thnt
morning, and communicated the news brought
in by the courier. They knew that Gcnoral
C? was retreating, and would fnll back on
L-. They had heard no particulars, but
Mrs. Raymond's heart swelled with a presenti
ment of trouble. Aud when Colonel Austen
came in, a few hours later, sho trembled so
much, as to be unable to stand. She scarcely
waited for him to tell her the news. "Colonel,
how is my son ? Where is he'{ Do not icajB
to tell me. I know that you have como to toll
me that he is Wounded." "Yes, madam, I?
have the sad news to tell you. Captain Ray
mond Was wounded yesterday; but, let us
hope, not seriously."
"Where is ho ? Oh ! toll mr, yon did not
leave him to fall into the hands of the ene
my r
"No, Mrs. Raymond, ho is coming on slowly.
Wc did not leave any of our brave bn3's."
Mrs. Raymond did not hear the last sen
tence. A dimmss came over her eyes,?her
strength failed her. Colonel Austen caught
her as she was falling, and placed her on a
couch standing near. Kate, meanwhile, came
into tho room. Her mother's pale, deathlike
faco caused her to utter a scream j?she flew
to her mother, and foil on her knees boside
her. -'Oh ! mama, what is the matter ?"
Then, seeing Colonel Austen for the first time,
she oaid, "Tell me what it is, I can ?tuml any
thing."
"I am pained to tell you, dear Miss Ray
mond, that your brother was wounded yester
day. Ho sent me to tell you of it. Lot us
hope it may only be a idight wouud."
-,-;-.^j .
"Colonel Austen, you arc tiot tolling rt^
true ; you know that mv brother is badlw
hurt. You would not coniv. her* to hiU \ls hi|
is only slightly wounded." A white, frighten-!
od look crept into her face, as sho uttored this
last words.
"Tell mo, I beseech you,^?do not deceive^
me,?if Dougkwfc h* 'tawif" Her Voice was'
fdl?d with agony and entreaty. ... J
"NoyMiss Raymond, ho in not dead, bati
alivoj and, I trhstyho will bo horo irt a fffm
momonts." T
"My poor, dear mothor, this blow will k?hj
her," moaned Kate. Douglass was hor only*!
eon, a sou of whom it could bo said, that "hoi
knew tho law of perfect obedience, nnd do-;;
lighted thereon."
Mrs. Raymond seemed bowed to earthy al
ready she imagined her boy shrouded for bin
gravo. Wheu, at sunset, sho saw a cortege
como slowly up the avenue, sho.knew that it
was Douglass being borne homo.
Rut when she saw the ghastly pallor, that
rested on his lace, thou came the fulness of
her sorrow. Sho moaned in agony and dis
pair. "Oh ! my son, my sp.u," burst from her
tortured heart.
Captain Raymond seemed better, after rest
ing from his long nud paiuful ride.- He had
been under the influence of opiates for hours;
but, waking from a deep sleep, he requested to
sec a surgeon* Tho doctor, standing near him,
asked him what ho wanted. Seeming to re
cognize no onc> and unconscious of the locality)
ho said,
"Doctor, I want you to loll the if ? can live?
Don't mind telling me; I am not afraid to die.
I would that I could sec my mother once more..
Can I live to get home ?"
"You aro at home, Captain, and don't talk
about dying, man. Why I have seen nieu
worse ofT, live to give the devils another brush."
Ciptniu Raymond made no reply to the sur
geon, lie closed his eyes wearily, and then
opening them, said, "Where is my mother? 1
want her."
The Doctor had requested Mrs. Raymond^
and Kate to leave thcroonij a few momciit3""bu-'}
fore Captain Raymond had spoken to him. He
desired to make an examination of the wound;
and he bad only partially accomplished it,
when he found that the poor sufferer could
ouly live a few hours longer. lie called Mrs.
Raymond, and soon returned to his patient.
"Dr. Cain, 1 feel that I tnutt die. Tell me.
how much lougcr can I live in consciousness ?"
"Captain, I would to God, /Cold*? Have you;
hut a mysterious Providence has ordered it
otherwise. I grieve to tell you, but 1 fear you
way only linger with us for a short while."
He wiped a tear from his cheek, as he saw
the mother, and sister come into tho room, so
soon to be the chamber of Death. Douglass
held out. Iiis hand, ns his mother came to him.
?Mother, darling mothor," and a sob choked
his words. He commanded his voice, and
then went on?"I am dying, but I am not
afraid. I can cross the dark river and fer.r no
evil; I can say 'God's will be done.' Dear
mother, do not weep for your boy. lie yields
up his life for his country." A holy joy filled
tho countenance of the dying soldier. "Katie
this world has been ono of joy and happiness
to you; but, my sister. 1 must leave you here.
I am going home to live for ever. I want you
to meet mo thero. Tell father I wanted to
live for him, to help him, but (lud, in his wis
dom, has removed that hope." .
Douglass ceased speaking. Hip mother's and
sister's sobs could not be restrained, and caused
Dr. Cain to leave the room. Not many months
beforo, he too, had seen his son die ; but, alas,
how differently ! Douglass Raymond was
dying at home, with the bunds of his mother
and sister to give him aid. 7/?!? boy died on
the battle-fleldj with only his father to witness
tho last final struggle"; Tho old man wept in
? sorrow, as he heard the sobbing moaiis of that
?heart-stricken, mourning mother; and his
'heart was wrung with grief when be saw the
yo?llg boyish filed, ho culm und fcarluss.
Mrs. Raymond watched all night, Wide
her dying boy. For hours he ?eeined to sleep
heavily; then again he mannered gay snatches
of some remembered RUhgj or he was in camp,
discussing the probable inovoou'.llls of the
army. Dr. Cain roused him about daylight,
and finding him stronger than he expected
him, administered an opiate. Ho fell back,
and slept again. Mrs. Raymond never left
him a moment ; and when ho waked, near
noon, she knew that life was nearly ebbed
away. He turned his eyes upon h?irj and too
weak to converse only murmured, "Pray for
me; I am going."
Dr. Cain, and Rev. Dr. Ford wore present.
Mrs. Raymond asked Dr. Ford to pray. Sho
knolt beside Douglass, grasping his cold, death
damp fingers, while Dr. Ford prayed for tho
dying saint. A glow of hcavculy rapt uro lit
up the pale suffering lace; and when the
prayer was ended, Douglass Raymond was no
more. His spirit had flown on tho breath of
prayer. The stillness of death filled the cham
ber, no wailing cry disturbed the sileucc* Mis.
Raymond had fainted. Kate wo? .stunned ;
ncY grief Was too deep for sobs.
P TJlc sad service was performed" over tho
dead. They had dressed him in his uniform,
shrouded him in tho flag ho loved so well, and
for which he laid dowu his life. Tho sword he
had drawn so many times, ' was placed iii his
jgravo with him. As the hist shovelful of
earth was thrown on his grave, the tribute to
a bravo soldier was paid him. His mourning
comrades fired a funeral salute over his gravo;
;*?>d then-, Do?ghrtft Raymond was tell "to take
Ids Utoahdws rest," lVco from war and its
hardships. His weary, battle-worn soul was

r JfyJlcfavat finikn nt-^ * * * If the
Southern people arc tltlf etluiudysj Whero must
we go to find our frioiids? We cannot go to
tbe Radicals?they live in the North. They
cjuiie South, fool us out of our votes, go back
hjunc, and never think of the nigger till thl'y
gyt out of office and want another 0?o>
y tell you, money is nt the root' of all their
?ish talk nnd rascally nets. We have
d'of-laud that would he given to the blTick
, but we have never scon it yr?t5 and never
will see it. I don't believe the Just Qot| would
suffer the work of stich injustice to go on; and
these sheep-headed Radicals can sec ton far
into the future not to know what the ill
consequences would be if they attempted to
take away the Southern lauds. I was Radical
once; I'll tell you what changed me; When
I came to this place in .January, 1 had not
bread for my family to eat. There I was, with
my dear little tender ones, suffering'for some
thing to cat. Oh, brethren, you do not know
how my brain burned, how my heart was made
to bleed, by the eries of my starving children.
I went to my Radical friends. They would
not lend me one bushel of corn; but the
gracious Lord, in his infinite witidoni, directed
nie to the Democrats?those whom I once
called my euemies. I found food for the
hungry, drink for the thirsty, and am now
happy, because I feel that I have friends.
They will let me have what I waut, but we
can't get anything from the Radicals unless
we get the Democratic man to stand our secur
ity. Which of the two net like our friends?
I tell you now, if you arc not working to sup
port your Southern friends, you had better,
ere you learn to do r.o to your sorrow. Ot? to
tbe Rible. It will tell you that when Christ
was on earth, He told the people to beware of
tho publican, which is the samo as Radien!-?
nor do as they did. You know, brethren, if
the Saviour spoks of them in that way, they
must bo graud rascals. Wo are poor, pitiful
creatures?got no honiOj ho money. Let us
work, thOtl, to make friends. How in the
world can wo live but in and through the
Doinocrats? You may think they can't do
without our labor, but they can ; they can get
white laborers. Dear brethren take my advice.
I love you. and if you do uol wish to wound
my feelings, stick to tht! Southern man. Me
is your friend.
If you will join1 fn?. \ want you to come
over iifll! live with me next year. If you don't.
I hid you farewell, brethren ; yes,- a long fare
well. I will have nothing more to do with
you, only wheu yotlr flweel Mouthed Radicals
leave j'OHj to starve. Then will I give you
bread?the Democrat's bread?to keep you
alive.
May God movo from your oyca the scales of
ignorance, that you may see the path which is
leading you to )'<>ur own ruin.
I have a fine crop of cotton, corn and pota
toes. 1 hope we'll nil have good luck, and
mako money enough to buy us a piece of land
from our Southern friends. Answer this letter
as soon as you get it. Tell me all about my
friends. Your affectionate brother.
