ORR'S RIFLES A Rev. J. H. Simpson . Hiate Col. Gr. . Abbeville ^si)ear Robert : Hearing of the death of Col. G. McD. Miller I write my humble tribute to his memory and to the soldiers of his regiment, especially of Company G, which he lcd in battle. I had more acquaintances in this Com pany because many o? them were from the west. As a Regiment there was none braver in the Confederate army and none had a braver leader than was Col. Miller. I often visited his regiment in the camp, on the march and on the battle field. He in particular was always J;-;, glad to see me, because he had learned . that I felt interested in his men whether sick or well, wounded or d?ad. They loved him and obeyed him, because he loved them. I always considered his tender regard for his men equal to his gallantry, bravery and coolness in the face of the enemy. Well do I remember the many expres sions of love and admiration for him from his 'men as I assisted them on the midnight march and waited on them in the lonely hospital on the field. They never once spoke of him as being stern, rash or overbearing at any time. In camp he was their evual, in battle he was their leader. 1 will venture to give a few reminis cences of one of the many battles in which his Regiment was engaged. I know something about it, because I was there and talked with him a half hoar before the battle and I remember his hst words to me. On Wednesday, the 23ih of^une, 1862,1 left Rich mond to ?eareh fer Orr's Regiment. I found it on the west side of the Chick ahominy, not far from the Virginia Central E. R. I took tea with you, J. L. Hemphill and Livey Grier. That night the Regiment" marched across the Chickahoniny at the rail road bridge and turned ?o the right in the direction of Mechar.icsville. It baited about a half mile from the rail road and there we all lay down in a ditch; beside a hedge. This was a great protection from the shells and cannon balls of the enemy. Frequent ly the earth was thrown over on us. As J lay between you and Livey he said:, "I expect to be killed. If you should live to see father and mother and the loved ones at home tell them , to meet me in heaven." . $Te. itere aroused early Thursday .morning by the lound of artillery . around Mechanicsville and were soon on the march in the direction of Gaines' Mill. I gave up yours and Livey's blankets. Frank Clinkscales, a class mate, was assistant surgeon and he and I with an ambulance and a driver, whose name I have forgotten, drove oil to the left of the road into a grove of pines about a half mile from the mill. .It turned out to be a most dangerous place. We were just in the rear of Crenshaw's Battery, then fin action with a Yankee battery on a kill to the sooth. We got out of the ambulance. Frank found shelter be hind a pine tree. I lay down in a tent covered with earth, its entrance towards the battery and hence not a .good protection, as pieces of shell were flying all around me. I looked out and saw Frank standing by z pine as large as his body 30 feet behind me. Sut still I thought my place was safer than his and said to him, "Frank come to me." He said, "No. I'll stand here." These were his last words. In a moment I could hear .nothing but the whizzing of the shells and.the crashing of the pines. I called him again but he made no an swer. Without ever looking for him or the ambulance I got up and ran .towards the battery, leaving it to my left. I had determined to go to the Regi ment. I went back to the mill and followed in the direction it had gone. In an hour or two I found it lying in a swamp ravine among a growth of broom grass and small pines. Capt. Miller told me to lie down, for the ene my were just a little distance up in the.field. He asked me if I ?new that Dr. Clinkscales was killed; I told him "No, I left him over in the pines." "Well, he was killed, please go back and get his watch and instru ments and you had better get away from here, for we are waiting orders to charge that battery," he replied. I shook hands with you and Livey and tome others and then went back to that dangerous place in the pines. There I found Frank lying by the pine which had been struck by a can non ball just opposite his head and had torn it half off. Some one had taken his watch and instruments. I then went to the field hospital, a brick house not over two miles from the mill and spent the night in help ing the surgeon to dress wounds, am putate shattered limbs. Your brother John was there with me in the work of mercy. Friday morning before daylight I ?tarted on the hunt for the regiment to learn the casualties in the battle. ? found it in an oak grove to the right T GAINES' MILL Pays a Tribute to the McD. Miller. '? Medium. of the road and you were the first man I met. You told me? the sad news of so many of Company G being killed. We set out to find the dead and before the sun rose we were on the field of carnage. Aaaorjg the first we found was Livey Grier, shot in the forehead, lying on the edge of the woods where the ene my's battery stood. The next bodies we found were Pruitt's, Richey's, and Point Lindsay's. Rev. H. T. Sloan, the chaplain, soon come and assisted in collecting the dead for burial. Point Lindsay was killed a little below the centre of the open field through which the charge was made. To get his body up to the woods Dr. Sloan got off bis horse and I got on it and you ami he handed the body up to me and I carried it in front of me up to the woods. I hunted up an axe and a shovel and we dug four graves. Then came a sight too sad for your nerves to stand. When we went to put Livey's body in the grave, the entire back of his head was open and the brains lying on the ground. I said ''Robert, what will we do? It will never, never do to leave them out." You turned away saying, "I cannot look at it; if you can put them in, do it." With trembling hands i did the sad work and we wrapped the body in his blanket and buried it and the others side by side. This was Saturday morning, June 20th. I went to look for Frank's body but some one had taken it away. I went on to Richmond and got four coffins and returned to the field hospi tal and slept with John L. Hemp hi ll. We spent Sabbath morning in waiting I on the wounded as they lay in the yard and in the house. In the even ing I went to the camp and secured a wagon to take the coffins to the battle field. 4a tbs sun's last evening rays fell on the scene I took up the bodies of four brave men. The noise of bat tle was still hoard toward Cold Harbor. Strang?? work for the Sabbath day. On Monday I took the remains to Richmond and had them all put into zinc coffins well soldered all around ' and then put them in boxes for tran sportation. Thursday evening, July 3rd, I reached Due West and deliver ed my precious charges to their rela tives. It was a day of weeping. It was my sad task to deliver Livey's last message as we lay in the ditch on the Chickahominy. The father, moth er and Jennie, with whom I walked to the cemetery, have all met him in heaven beyond the sound of war. The funeral services in Due West on that memorable occasion, were very solemn. Dr. R. C. Grier preached the funeral and his text was Job, 7, 16, "I loathe it. I would not live always." I met Col. Miller and his noble Regiment at Chancellorsville, Fred ericksburg, Wilderness and Spottsyl vania, and he never failed to express his gratitude for what I had done for his gallant soldiers. I never met him after the war but I expect to meet him in a world of eternal peace. JOHN* H. SIMPSON. In The Police Court-Tried and Judg ment in Its Favor. Some time ago Judge Andy E.

Official Example Needed. It is very manifest that total absti nence enforced on special occasions is not all that is wanted to make tbe ariny as sober, and consequently as efficient, as is desirable. In fact, spasmodic efforts at abstinence, fol lowed by periods during which drink indulgence is sanctioned or palliated by-those in authority, tend to keep alive that faith in alcoholic liquors as a means of enjoyment, and that opin ion of them as a fitting reward for bravery and endurance, that are the baue of the army. And such opin ions are fostered and encouraged by the custom which constrains men, otherwise sane and reasonable, to toast in alcoholic liquors thc victories won byand dependent for their success upon total abstention from all such enfeebling and demoralizing agencies. What is wanted is a public and official opinion which shall say that the absti nence asked for in the men shall be encouraged by the example as well as enforced by the authority of th? offi cers.-Col. J. A. Ferguson, of thc British Army. Abolishing Poverty. How can it be done without abolish ing the rum traffic? The working peo ple of thi3 country spend at least $750,000,000 a year for whiskey and beer. In fifteen years they could, if they would, save that money, buy all the railroads in the country, with all their lands, stocks and bonds, and running equipment-such as cars and locomotives. How can people expect to be other than poor who are so wasteful and extravagant? Henry George said much about abolishing poverty, but never anything about abolishing rum. Father McGlynn never touches the great question at all. "Poverty," say they, "must be abolished by some change in the laws -by legislative enactment." It can not be. It never will be. Let the criminal silence of the press and of public speakers upon the rum traffic cease. Let us all speak out. and tell the truth. Within fifty-eight miles of Pitts burg, Pa., is the li tie town of Boli var. The principal business is brick making. This is controlled by the Reese Hammond Fire Brick Company. They have had no saloons for thirty years. There are two hundred and fifty men in the employ of the com pany. They nearly all own their own homes. There is no poverty, no suf fering, very little crime, no strife be tween labor and capital. The Golden Rule is lived up to by both sides. Poverty is abolished. It goes with the saloon. There would be many towns and cities like Boliver if the press and public speakers would tell the truth about the infernal business that fills the land with sorrow and de spair.-Bishop C. C. McCabe. No Army Canteen in Canada. Not one drop of intoxicating liquor is allowed to be sold at any of the mil tary camps of Canada. Here, at least, is an administrative faot on which the present government has long been de plored by those interested in our youDg men that the patriotic ardor that drew them from their homes-many of them for the first time-should bring them into those temptations into which ex hiliarating social conditions betray reckles youth. Fathers felt bitterly, mothers protested strongly and con tinuously, and commanding officers who had the good either of the service or of the young men at heart greatly deplored the evil. An evil it was for which there was no sort of need. A considerable majority of the soldiers had never been in the habit of using alcohol in any form. If there were those who could not do without it, such would be regarded, by the common consent of Canadians, as un safe men either for soldiers or as com panions for young men. Gen. Hutton and the government will have the unanimous approval of the people of Canada in the course they are now pursuing, which is also in harmony with all the most modern principles of campaigning.-Montreal Daily Wit Eczema Cured by B.

The War President Cast Into Depth of Despair by Hooker's Defeat at Chancellorsville. One story in particular Secretary Stanton told, that I can 'remember, startled us. and its details are still vivid in my memory. Mr. Stanton had been relating to us many inci dents of the funny side of Mr. Lin coln's character, when suddenly he stopped, and, after remaining silent for probably a minute, looking in a vacant way at some manuscript lying on the desk before him, he turned in his chair and said: "Gcntltmcn, there is nothing that gives me so much pain as thc opinion that seems prevalent, judging from the newspapers, that Mr. Lincoln was an habitual joker; that it was an impossibility for him to be se rious, no matter how grave the occa sion might be. Nothing is further from the truth. His heart was big and good, his nature warm and sunny: hence he naturally looked at the bright side of events; but no man of my acquaintance was more serious than he when the surroundings of the case warranted that he should be. I will give you a point in instance. "Mr. Lincoln, during the war. was very sensitive of the criticisms of his administration by the newspaper press, believing it to be, as he asserted, the true voice of the people. The fail ures of McDowell, McClellan, Burn side and Pope with the Army of the Potomac and the criticisms made thereon J.y the newspapers almost crazed him. Time and again he would free himself from the executive man sion and seek my little office, the only place in Washington, he often said, where he could be absolutely free from interruption. When he became clos eted with me on these visits Mr. Lin coln would unbosom himself and talk of his cares and woes. Several times he insisted that he ought to resign, and thus give the country an oppor tunity to secure some one better fitted to accomplish the great task expected of the president. Or, if he did not resign, he thought he ought to im press upon Congress the propriety of giving absolute control of the army to some purely military man. It was during one of these moods that he conceived the idea of placing Hooker in command of the Army of the Poto mac and of vesting him with such power that, in his opinion, he could not fail of success. He had a great idea of Hooker's ability as a soldier, and in addition he believed him to be an honest man and a sincere patriot. He wanted him to fight what he intend ed should be, and what he felt would be, the closing battle of the war. Ac cordingly, when Hooker got under way and the news came that at Chan cellorsville he would make his fight, Mr. Lincoln was in the greatest state of mental excitement. From the time that Hooker's army began its march until the smoke of battle had cleared from the fatal field of Chancellorsville he scarcely knew what it was to sleep. "It will be remembered that the. fight lasted three days. During the first two days it looked as if Hooker was about to accomplish what so .many generals before him had failed to do; but, early on the third day the usual half hour dispatches began to make matters look dark and ominous of de feat. That whole day Mr. Lincoln was miserable. He ate nothing and would see no one but me. As it grew dark the dispatches ceased coming at all. Mr. Lincoln would walk from the white house to my department and anxiously inquire for news from Hooker. With the going down of the sun a cold and drenching rain sei: in, which lasted through the night. At about 7 o'clock Mr. Lincoln ceased his visits to my department, and gave orders at the executive mansion that he would see no one before morning. An hour afterward a dispatch of an indefinite character was received from Hooker, and I hurried with it to Mr. Lincoln's apartments. When I enter ed I found him walking the floor, and his agonized appearance so terrified me that it was with difficulty that I could speak. Mr. Lincoln approached me like a man wild with anxiety and excitement, seized the dispatch from my hand, read it, and, his face slight ly brightening, remarked, 'Stanton, there is hope yet!' At my solicita tion, Mr. Lincoln accompanied me to the war department, where he agreed to spend the night, or until something definite was heard from Hooker. - For five hours, the longest and most weari some of my life, I waited before a dis patch announcing the retreat of Hook er was received. When Mr. Lincoln read it he threw up his hands and ex claimed: 'My God! Stanton, our cause is lost! We are ruined-we are ruin ed; and such a fearful loss of life! My God! this is more than I can endure!' He stood trembling visibly, his face of a ghastly hue, the perspiration standing out in big spots on his brow. He put on his bat and coat and began to pace tho floor. For five or more minutes he was silent, and then, turn ing to me, he said: 'If I am not about 1 early to-morrow, do not send for me, nor allow any one to disturb me. De feated again, and so many of our countrymen killed! "What will t people say?' "As he finished he started for t door. I was alarmed. There VJ something indescribable about t president's face and manner that ma me feel that my chief should not left alone. How to approach h without creating suspicion was t thought of a second. Going up to h and laying my hand on his shoulder said: 'Mr. President; I, too, am fe i?g that I would rather bc dead t}i alive; but is it manly-is it brave that we should be thc first to succum I have au idea: You remain here wi mc to-night. Lie down on yon?] lounge, abd. by the time you have h a few hours' sleep. I will have a vess at the wharf, and we will go to tl front and see for ourselves thc cont tion of the army.' "The idea of visiting the army person acted like a tonic. Mr. Li coln instantly adopted the suggestio The next morning we left Washingt? ou a gunboat for Hooker's comman On our return trip Mr. Lincoln to me that when he started to leave tl war department on that evening 1 had fully made up his mind to go ir mediately to the Potomac river ai there end his life, as many a po creature-but none half so miserab as he was at that time-had done b fore him."-Congressman Young, Philadftlyliia, Times. - A monument recently placed in cemetery in Louisville, Ky., bears ii scriptions to the memory of James Ai stin, a soldier of the Revolution; Jami Allen Austin, his sou, a soldier of tl war of 1812; James Grigsby Austii his grandson, a soldier of the war wit Mexico, and James Richard Gathrigh his great-grandson, a Confederate so dier, who was killed at Murfreesbon Tenn., January 1, 1863.
