WAR SI Camp Life and IPicke per and Frederick* Our troopers of Virginia had many advantages ovev those of other States. We were nearer our hornes during the campaigns of the army of Northern Virginia. I had gone home to ex change horses, for I always kept two good ones on hand, and when one be came disabled or broken down I would get permission from my captain, and ?a 24 or 48 hours I would have made the exchange and was back to my comiuaud. My fir>t mount was a fine sorrel marc, well bred and well suited for the cavalry service, except at times, when she became unmanagable, taking these periodical spells and per sisting in going just in the opposite .direction from which I wanted to go, ?nd you can well understand that that was not a pleasant experience with a cavalryman, especially when in close ?proximity to the enemy. I was hav ing some trouble with her on one oc casion when under fire. General Mun ford passed me in a gallop, and, check ing up his horse, said: "Be quiet with ber, corporal; treat her kindly, ?nd she will go." I soon traded her off. I had purchased her of Mr. ?James B. Newman, of Barboursville, Orange County, Va. He was a weal thy planter and raised a great many fine blooded horses, and, I think, fur nished to General "Jeb" Stuart that (beautiful stallion, "Skylark," that wai lost on the Chambersburg raid. Ht* negro man got drunk, laid down a d went to sloop, when some one --?.oie thu horso. I spent the night at Har. Newman's with his son, Barbour, ?Tin fhn .ruell f rvf tho tint tip nf Slnnr/h -- ?-0--- -- o - tor's Mountain, Culpeppor County, Ta., and witnessed from the top of the veranda of house the pyrotechnic ?display of bursting shells from Stone ball Jackson's cannon, as Pope was rapidly driven back from his onward manch to Richmond. It was in the spring of 1863 tbat Fitz Lee's brigade ?was camped on the Waliaok placo near Culpepper Court House, Virginia. Our camp was in a beautiful piece of woods with olear streams on either side. When I left camp for hjmo I found that the horse I intended to ?ide baok was not in a condition to be vridden, and hence my father suggested ?that I take one of the farm horses. I -selected ono I thought would suit me .best. The next morning I started hmtik for camp, when on arriving in .the neighborhood of Madison Court House, and while riding quietly along .the road m wild turkey jumped from .tho fenoe down into the main road ?and stopped. I WM io about 50 yards of him. I quickly reined in my horse, pulled my carbine from the booton tho saddle, pushed in a oartridge, raised it to my shoulder and fired. Had it been an eruption of Mt. Polee ?his horse could not have been more .frightened. He wheeled with me and .tried to mn, bat I soon cheoked him .ap and rode back to where the turkey was lying !n the road with a bullet hole through his head. In attempt ing to dismount from my horse my tf oot oaught nuder the leather cover ing of the big cavalry stirup. At that instant the turkey flopped his wie? s in its dying throes, frightening my-. orso and causing him to wheel suddenly with me. In the next in stant he would have dragged me to death, but, fortunately, I kept my hold on the reins and my hand in his mane, and with a mighty effort sprang into the saddle again, saving myself from a horrible death. Was that not .? "dose call?" T?ly relation, Dr. Alfred Taliaferro, ?lived ?bout a mile distant from our ..camp near Culpepper Court House. M took my turkey to Mrs. Taliaferro, who thad it sweetly cooked and daintly sorred, and with oom bread she sent to camp on the next day, that being Thanksgiving Diy. You oau imagine Brow wc enjoyed it, with that keen ap petite that belongs to a soldier. In my company were two Mexioan war nrelerans, Captain W. Morgan Stroth er ?md George L. Rivercomb, the lat ter enlisting in 1861, and was in a ?hort time honorably disoharged on account of wounds received in battle ?nd afterwards enlisted under the banner of Colonel J\)hn S. Mosby, and was made corporal of com pun y E, in .that famous battalion. The Carpen rter family was very numerous in Madi son County, find we had at one time as members of the company as many xs tea or twelve. They made good .soldiers, the majority of them being .killed or wounded during the war. That reminds mo that one of the most .daring ef the boys preferred to join Mosby and hts dashing rangers. His .name was T. A. Carpenter, of company /IF. *I? a f?ght on November, 1864, / i?e*y )rtitwood, Vs., between Mosby's ?oimma ?d and the Fourteenth Penn/ wylvaniA cavalry, he was captured ajrfd .on his way back to camp with his ohp tora they .net the ?ujutant of the First West Virginia cavalry (Federal^ who TORIES. t Duty j^bont Culpep sburg, Va., in 18G3. said: "Is that one of Mosby's men?" The Pennsylvanian replied that it was. "You must not take any of them prisoners of war," said the ad jutant and drawing his revolver shot thc prisoner dead. A cold blooded murder! A talc was told some time ago by Judge Pcnnypacker, of Phila delphia, in which he stated that in 1804 Sheridan, under orders, burned every barn from tho valley above Staunton, Va., to a certain point be low Winchester, a band of angry rebels followed this raid watching for a chance to pick up any .stragglers. Among others who fell ioto their hands was a little Pennsylvania Dutch man who quietly turned to his captors and inquired: "Vat you fellows going to do mit me?" The reply came short and sharp: "Hang you." "Veel," he said meekly, Yatever is de rule." His good natured reply threw the Confed erates into a roar of laughter and saved his life. I witnessed, as I have already stated in a previous letter to the Journal, tho exeoution of several Federals forbarn burning in the valley during thc fall of 1864. Our young people must not be taught to disre gard facts concerning the civil war ar, they are brought out by her own peo ple. I do not wish to bring before the public the harrowing scenes of the war for tho purpose of stirring up strife or hard feelings between the two sections. . All we desire is justice and fair play. These are historical facts and unless our rinonla are fan uhf. j- - --?~ " these truths i: is natural to suppose that they can not know what a sacri fice was made by the great mass of Southern people during the gigantic struggle of the sixties. A groat many leaders on the Confederate side were Christian gentlemen, intelligent and steadfast in their faith; this country has not produced greater men. They were not traitors as has been declared of President Davis by the head of tho great government; why Roosevelt should stoop so low as to defame the character of such a pure man, I oan not understand. We take the follow ing from the last month's number of the Confederate Veteran. A Miao Sue Allen, a school teacher of Louis ville, Ky., tried to make a little Miss Laura Galt sing, "Marching Through Georgia," but the little girl, true to her Southern teachings and instincts not only refused to sing, but put her fingers into her ears and would not listen to the song. She states that her teaoher refused to listen-to the essays in which she gave the Confed erates credit for bravery on land and sea. No country oan engage in war without having outrages perpetrated upon non-oombattants, for the worst clement of the human raoe often drifts into the armies of ell nations, but when the government itself or those io authority sanotion euch outrages as were committed against our people in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, in Georgia and elsewhere, we should pause and consider whether it was a oivilized oountry in which we then lived-a God-fearing country. Orders of Butler in N?w Orleaus, Milroy, Pope, Hunter, Sheridan and Sherman, and the unheard of pillage outrages and numberless insults that were heaped upon old people and children by those men was really an illustra tion indicating the savagery ot war; produoing the sternest retaliation. During the war at least sixty towns and villages were probably destroyed by fire in our southland by Federal soldiers, besides hundreds of private houses. Sherman, in his offioial re port, when referring to hi?.'^marching through Georgia," said: "I estimate the damage done to the State of Geor gia and its military resources at $100, 000,000, at least $20,000,000 of whioh have inured to our advantage and the remainder* is simply waste and de struction." The Carolinas suffered equally as much; the amount of dam age done to the Southern States oan never be estimated. Though he denied it, the evidence, against Sherman for burning Colum bia, S. C., is conclusive. The deso lation and destruction among our peo ple in the Shennandoah Valley, Vir ginia, was from a direot ordor of Gen eral Grant to General Sheridan. Many letters written from home to Confed erate soldiers were filled with ac counts of outragea, arson, rapine and murder. The Virginia Military Insti tute was burned by Hunte.. It is true that Chambersburg waa burned th? jukt /ear (one instance), but this waa done without the knowl tedgo or consent of General Lee or 'President Davis. These things may not he palatable to the taste of many of our Northern friends, but are facts that wc cannot ignore in making his tory. Wheo we first went into Mary land a Northern man wrote of our SS army in one of their papers as fol lows: "They were a set of ragged gentle men. They did not do me half a: m rich damage as the Union troops die v/h?n they were camped on me, and i: it were not for the name of the thinj I would say I very greatly prefe to have the rebels rather than ou Union troops quartered on my premi sea. One great drawback io the effieieoe; of the Confederate cavalry was th difficulty we found in obtaining hors shoes, some times our horses woul cast a shoe, go lame and subject us t the mortification of falling in wit those who formed company "Q.1 Every old cavalryman knows what i meant by Company Q. Those, fe instance, for any good reason (an oft-times for no good reason at all could not keep up with the companj fell back to thc rear, banded then selves together and called the diso: ganized band the above name. Bi thc most serious disadvantage whic we encountered with the Yankee more especially during tho latter pa of the war, when they wore payit enormous sums of money for foreigi ers who could not speak a w ?rd i English. We fought them general! when they had three to-one; and of times with a larger percentage in the favor. This was not only the ca with our branch of the service, tl infantry and artillery suffered in lil manner, no doubt. While a part of my company w doing picket duty, I think it was the summer of 1863, at the Unit States ford above Fredericksburg, Vi on the Rappahannock river, I h rather an unusual experience with non-commissioned officer in the Uni? army. The river there is about 1 yards wide, and it was understood mutual agreement that no firing woo be allowed by either side while picket. One day I strolled along i the river some hundred yards frc the post, and soon noticed that I w followed on the opposite side of t river by this officer. We finally & down on the river bank and was so in a conversation together. I fou him to be a clover fellow. He talk about his home folks and the ciroui stances which brought him into t army and so on, but would say fa little about the war. This happen on several occasions, that we wot leave our posts and take this wt together. The last time we were t gethor jnst before leaving the foi he insisted that I should come aero: bring him a plug of tobacco and tl he would give me ia exohange a pou of nioe coffee. ? large rook in t middle of the stream answered a resting plaoe for me, and I soon awi to it, and from there to him, when remained a short while talking to hi He finally told me that ooma of 1 men might come upon as and get into trouble, so giving me the coff we shook bandi and parted. Jost I was leaving him he said: "Berne ber, Corporal.. if I meet yon in ba I I will not shoot you." ? made htas Use same promise i we parted. I do uot know to wi regiment he belonged, bat he wi young man of more than ordinary telligenoe. That reminds me of a peaoh orcbi near "Travelers' ..Rest," below Fr erioksburg, just across the ri ve J whioh the boys would swim, bat river down that low was too wide me to venture across. The eanal tween Fredericksburg and Marj hill was a favorito plaoe for ui swim our horses and enjoy a bath a hot summer afternoon. In on< my letters to the Journal I spoke Stuart's oavalry parade near Culp per Court House, <OD June 8, IS An inquiry from one of my frienc few days thereafter, the question ' asked if there were not two eavi parades. Since writing the artie have read "The Campaigns of Stua Cavalry," by H. B. McClelland whioh he states that on May 22, li General Stuart reviewed the tl brigades of Hampton red the Lees on the field between Bra station and Culpeppor Court Hoi about 4,000 men were present. Sh ly after 'Jones' brigade arrived f the valley and Robertson's brig fr? m North Carolina; and he appc cd another review on the 5th of Ji at which time General Robert B. was expeoted but did not come, General Stuart was disappointed he was not pr?tent; eight thouf cavalry passed under the eye of t commander on that occasion. It then made known that General would review the oavalry on the of June and on the same field. It accordingly done when Stuart's w corps passed in review before great leader of the army of Nort! Virginia.-Dr. Wm. B. Conway, poral Co C, Fourth Va. Cavalry I rncnt. Athens, Ga., ia Atlanta J nal/.# The March ta the Sea. . Now that Grant and Shermat dead, after having lived on teri the closest affection for many y it seems a pity that once more effort should be made to oxhib enmity between the two whioh ; I existed. The discovery of an ol ter by Sherman in a second-hand book store has caused the trouble. From this letter one might infer that Sher man for the firdt time olaimed the inception of the march to tho sea as bis own. It is well known that soon after the war there waa some acrimonious dis cussion in this matter, but the truth seems to have been about as follows: When Gen. Grant was put in entire command of the Federal armies he re solved to have them aot as a unit. When Atlanta fell the march to the sea was deoided on, though it had often before been suggested. As to which general actually first thought of the campaign there is no doubt what ever. In his memoirs Grant says there never was any controversy be tween him and Sherman on that point. Grant, as commanding officer, ordered thc move, but he has given all the credit for the inception and execution of it to Sherman, where it properly belongs. In fact, from a military point of view, it was not a difficult task at all. Sherman lived well off the country, and the opposition ho met was so slight as to bc of no im portance. When Savannah fell the fate of the Confederacy was decided beyond any peradventure. Sherman always said that Grant was a greater general than he in the very largest use of the term, and Grant is believed to have thought Sherman a greater general than either. Grant'i position as a soldier and statesman is growing constantly, and it cannot be affected by raking up old let'srs. Grant and Sherman were both such determined men that neither would have pretended to an affection whioh did not exist.-Philadelphia Inquirer. The Blue end the Gray. Minneapolis, Minn., September 1 -Gen. ?11 Torrance, oommander-in chief of the Grand Army of tho Re public, has is8uedan appeal addressed to the Grand Army veterans asking that they contribute funds to aid in the erection of a home for Ex-Con federate Veterans now being built at Mission Creek, Ala. The appeal is a long one and in it the chief pays a high tribute to the bravery of the men who wore the gray. He cites the faot that it has been impossible to secure the aid of the National Congress in this matter, and that the only way in whioh the home can be built is by the veterans of the North and South, and of other patriotio citizens of the Re public He believes, he says, that j such action on the part of the G. A. R. will demonstrate more strongly than anything else that all sectional feeling, as a result of the great oivil war, has passed away. - After more than 400 years it ap pears that Cuba has not yet been en tirely discovered.
