Olowing Tribute tc diers in tho Writir Augusto < I am very much interested in the articles written by thc Confederate soldiers, appearing in tho Atlanta Journal, tho Constitution and thc Chronicle. And I have como to the conclusion that tho Confederate sol dier was tho greatest hero of anoient or modern times, and that tho North American soldier is not only tho equal but the superior, of any other in the world. Now, 1st any enc doubting tho yalor awl bravery of the Confed ?ralo ?oldicrs search tho official records of thc Union and Confederate armies as published by the govern ment of tho United States. They will BOO ihut the old veterans are not exaggerating tho deeds of their com rades in arm? who fought on the Con federate side when they talk of the victory over immense oddB. The following aro some of tho words quoted from General Badi, a gallant Federal general who saved the Federal army from complete defeat at Shiloh. This appeared in tho Contury Maga zine, and afterward, in the third vol ume of Battlea and Leaders 'in the Civil Wai: "It took a naval fleet and 15,000 troops to advance against a weak fort manned by less .than 100 men at Fort Henry; 35,000 with naval co-opera tion to overcome 12,000 at Donnison; 60,000 to" secure a viotory over 30,000 at Shiloh; 12,000 to cause rotraat of 6,500 entrenched after a mooth of fighting and maooeuvering at Corinth; 100,000 were repelled by 80,000 io the Brat peninsular campaign against Riohmond; 70,000 with a powerful naval force to inspire tho campaign which lasted nine months against 40,000 at Vicksburg; 90,000 to barely withstand the assault of 70,000 at Gettysburg; 115,000 sustaining a frightful repulse from 60,000 at Fredericksburg; 100,000 attacked and defeated by 50,000 at Ohano?llors ville; 85,000 held in check two dayo by 40,0j)0 at Antietam; 43,000 re taining the field uncertainly against 38,000 at Stone river (Murfreosboro); 70,000 defeated at Chiok?mauga and beleaguered by 70,000 at Chattanooga, 80,000 merely to break tho investing line of 45,000 at Chatt&noogo, and 100,000 to proso back 50,000, increas ed at last to 70,000 from Chattanooga to Atlanta, a distance of 120 miles, and then let go, an operation whioh is commemorated at festive reunions; 50,000 to defeat the investing line of 30,000 nt Nashville, and finally 120, 000 to overcome 60,000 after a year in Virginia." General Buell sayo, individually, the northern soldier waaia no sense tho inferior of the southern. What? thou, ie the explanation of this rule which* is so nearly invariable VIM to show that . superior numbers were generally essential io Union vi o tories; and 4n the success of Union opera tion o emoh waa. doe to theabantar of the contest. Revolution ie calon" lated to inspire bold and desperate action, and wars of sentiment, of the nttura of which this partook more in tho south than in tho north;, are al ways marked with nu^sae!energy. Buell gives another reason; ?he eon duct of the southern generals. They recognised that the odd o must ge nor" ally be against them, and that they must find some means of overcoming the effects; pf> the fact upon the spirit of their troops/and themselves setan example ot a??aoity. To iUustrate the implicit confidence with which the southern soldiers followed choir leaders he ?i aw s the following corn paria on: At Cold Harbor the north ern troops, who had proven their indomitable qualification by losses squally nearly to the whole of their opponents, when oriered to another sacrifice, eves nader such a soldier aa Hancock, answered the demanda as One man-a ailene and stolid inertia. A^Geityabnrgy^ dreaded to gi ve for the h opole? a, bu % immortal ?;' charge against . ;.:Cemej^r1 Hill, saluted and said ae he turned to bia ready column: V-?4t shall move forward, sir." Gen. Buell then speaks of another influence whioh nerved the heart of the Confederate soldier to valorous deeds; *?Nor must we give alight, im portance to the infiuenoe of southern woman who, in agony of heart, fi$$j$ the sword upon their loved ones and b?do them go. ; It was exposit that those Varions infiaehoes weald give*a oonfidetaco to leadership that would tend to bold adventure and leave ita matkn^n^hr^^ *41 Yes. the : Confederate: soldier has gono down io all hisi^ios as th? most poarless, most gallant and matohlees hero the wortt ever prc4aced. * None ^Vm^^mm^^ And yet, Wit*aj^i&^j^ hw been fpngha ?tore ! battlss '..thai have astonished *he world. The historians record th?1! 'ORIES. > tlie Confederate Sol iga of Gren> 13nell. Chronicle. I at tho battle of Caunac, fought io ! 1041, on tho field where Hannibal won j bis great victory 1,200 years before, the Normans "struok ten times while the Qreoks struok ooo," and that less than 700 of tho northern warriors mot tho attack of a Bytantino army of 10,000 men, beat it back and slew till there were none left to slay. Count Roger, the groat oount who undertook tho oonq*acst cf Sicily, met j 15,000 Saracens with a force of 740 j mon and defeated thom with terrible I slaughter. Leonidas, at tho Pass of Thermopylae, held baok tho greatest army ever marshalled unde- banne?*. It was said that there were a million men, and yet he definitely hold the pass until all were ?laiu, save ono, who carried tho nows to his country men, and history tells us was slain by them. I But of all tho fights of modern times, that of the Alamo surpasses all. And the forcea on our side ? were southern men; the sires of many j whose sons fought in the war between the States on tho Confederate side, as the greater number who died in tho Alamo wero southern men. One hundred and eighty men under the command of Lieutenant Oolonel W. Barrett Travis, a youog lawyer from North Carolina, with Oolonel Bowie, o? Bowie knife fame, and Davy Crookett, the celebrated shot, held the Alamo, from February 23rd to Mcroh 6th against 5,000 Mezioans under Santa Anna, and they fought until every man was killed. Bnt they had plaoed "hors du combat" 1,000 Mosicuue. Santa Anna was so in sensed at the marvelous and gallant fight of the 182 brave men who stood out to the last against him that he ordered their bodies piled together like a huge pyramid,, a layer of wood, a layer of dead, and burned them. Tho wind scattered their ashes on the spot their defense had immortalized and made it forever hallowed ground. On the monument erected where they fell to commemorate their unparallel ed achievement is engraven the signi ficant lino: "Thermopylae had its messenger of defeat; the Alamo had none/' Glorious victory it was, though Santa _ Anna slow every man. Yet from the blood of those martyred . braves the re pu bli a of Tesas arose I and shone resplendent until she eh? j te red the sisterhood of States ia the greatest and bravest and moat Stable repnblio on earth. Uncle Bastes. He Had te Be Brave. What I relate are facts whiob. ac tually befell me. The greatest csv ? airy battle every fooght on tb?

At early daws the .Federal advance gnord crossed the ^ppa haooook and charged ;our outposts with arneb vigor that'th ey entered our carno at their, heals.

How I es oaped God only knows. . In a few moments I heard our boys coming down the road. A volley from tho federal line, but onward they went; ; and I, mounting a horse belonging to I a lieutenant of Company H, who was ! killed hero joined in. We broke this regiment-tho Eighth Now York Lieut. Owen Ailing killing ita brave commander, Colonel Davis. Then came the Sigh th Illinois, and quicker than somo of us came we went. That night, after tho battle was over-for it lasted all day-the boys overwhelmed me with compliments. Never saw such dash! suoh courage! Charles O'MalleyI Murat! and so on. But what was the laughter and merri* ment when I innocently remarked: "Confound it, boys, my hores rat away with me."-Riohmoud Dis patch. He Didn't Have io Stay. I had been told, when I left Ford' Mill un the Poer Fork of Cumbettam river, at 11:30, that I could ge' very good dinner at the Widow Lew. * tavern, on Fink Branoh, at noon, an I rode along easily, enjoying th mountain views, says a writer i Judge. I should have been there o limo but 1 sighted the inn where expected, a good mountain dinner and expectation wno rosy, for I ha breakfasted early and scantily, an had ridden' all morning over roog territory. There waa no hotel sign < other indication that the Wido Lewis' was anything more than tl usual mountain house of the bett class-hewn loge half-way up, topp< ont with weatherboarding-and I ro< np to the gate and gave the customa "HelloI'/ ?

Undo Sain, so wo soe from the papers, is providing for tho work of men employed io digging tbs Panama ditch; purchased a iot of Bibles and playing cards, and which Will be fur nished free to employes, in the canal zone. Aa the Spartaoburg Herald most aptly remarks, that is on a par with the erstwhile New England prvo tico of sending rum and mission' era on the same slavs ship to Africa, j Your Unole Sam is a gay old roos ter, and cares very little how his ends j are accomplished, just so. he geln there. At thia time his head is set ? on digging that canal, and he is going ] to complete the job if be bas to tram ple every law' on bis own statute books under foot, sod smash the Ten Commandments into smithereens. ? Ooly a few weeks ago he practically > kidnapped a lot of Frenen laborers, and when they protested and wanted to go baok home, drove them to their work before tho muzzles of guns, and ia holding them in involuntary servi tude-practicing the same syatem of peonage that his oourts aro holdiog a orime among-our Southern far mers. . Your Uncle Sam has a good deal of the enterprising and money-making i Yankee blood " in him, and we are not at ali' -surprised at his sending . the m i xe ? cargo.tb Panama. If it becomes necessary, he will unhesitatingly' de clare the religion of Bedha, Confu cius, or Mahomet in force within the I canal zone, and ecud out a carload of idols-: for his heathen' workmen to worship. Tho old;follow don't bo.bar bis mind much about tho morai refor mation of his subjects, just so they put io a good I day's work shoveling dirt. It would not be surprising any day to read thai the government had opened a first-o las a poker room ,at Colon, and shippod a carload of roulette tables to bo used along the seat of excavation. From the stand point of piety, morality and consis tency your Uncle Sam is aa howling an old hypocrite as John Wanamaker, john wiir teach a Bible ol GO e Sunday and s?ll poker ohips all the week. 1 Even in recognising the independ ence of the so-called Panama repub* lie,Uncle Sam condoned and endorsed the same thing, that brought about our great Civil War, and caused oceans bf. blood to bb Bbed-tb.e right of s?cession. Panama put in Snocesa fui practice j ?st what tho Confed erate States demanded and rebelled /?f??t.>': ' \ The old follow IB strictly business, a u ? i?on*tr. care what moan*: he em1 ploys, just so the end is acoordip^.to; his likiog and selfish interest. If ii becomes necessary to complete the oanal, he would not hesitate to inau gurate a system of African slavery on the isthmus, and detail a. flotilla, of bis war ships to go tn Africa aa ?J bring I him cargoes. While forcing negro . appointees on our Southern people, we see that he has instructed his offi cials to refuse to enroll any black workmen for the canal. He himself has drawn the line of demarkation against the negro more otriotly than we Southerners. While the darkey is all right as postmasters and collectors in the South, he will not answer to move dirt and ??o like work on the Panama canal. Wellt we had just as well lot the old fellow alone, for ho is going to hewe hi? own sweet way about things. Fie leaves obedience to his laws, and the moral and religious training of the people to bis subjects and churches, while ho pursues .the even tenor of his way, and will do just as he darn pleases.-Southern Field. * -;--, ' iwi > te i ---- ''?[ :?
