Reminiscence Lucy II. Buck in 1 Messrs. Editors: Now, when the character of Gen. Robert E, Leo i? HO generally discussed, some intcrcHt may attach to the following pcrsoual reminiscences, which illustrated his graceful tact and adaptability to sur roundings. lt was tho summer of 1801, just after tho battle of Gettysburg, when thc contending armies retiring from tho field were running an exciting race, each trying to be first in reach ing Riehmond. Meade had thrown forward a detachment across tho river east of the Blue Ridge, hoping to intercept Leo, who had moved AcrosB the west of the mountain and was aiming to reach tho south through Chester's Gap, a pass just a mile or two cant of the little town of Front Royal. And no one oould doubt the anxiety which the Southern leader must have felt for the success of his race. That July afternoon much excite ment was created in Front Royal by the report that Gen. Lee, with bis army, was falling back to the valley, and was even then erossing the Shen nandoah river just a mile north of the town. ,j My father, having an acquaintance upon the general's staff, rode out to meet them and offered to lead them by a short out through the field to our home, where they oould stretoh their cramped limbs and drink frosh butter milk while waiting for the main body of the troops to come up. I Bhall never forget my first sight of the grand old chief as ho stood on the portico surrounded by his o?icera, a tall commanding figure, clad in dusty, travel-stained gray, but with a court ly, dignified bearing that would have entitled him to distinction anywhere. And the face, earnest and oaroworn, but kind and benevolent ts its ex pression, was the face of a father rather than that of a warrior, I thought. Upon being introduced to me by my father, he, io turn presented each member of his staff; then 'seating himself upon a bench made room for me beside him, Baying: ''Come, my daughter, sit by me while I am rest ing, that we may have a little talk;" and then began to disouss subjects which he knew would interest my girlish mini. When I tried to express my pleas ure at seeing him, he replied with rather a sad smile: "Ah, my child,. I wish I was better worth your regard. There," pointing to his officers, "see those gallant young rebele, they ito worth looking at." In compliance with a request for Southern songs, my sister ard I play ed sod sang for Tam. while he stood by the piano and listened with as much onuiteous interest as if his heart had reai'y been in the. tntfsio and not with his brave troops wading the Shen nandoah and straining every nerve to ' reach the desired goal in time. That he was on the alert one could tell by his quick glance through a window toward the road where the column of gray carno marching on, but that was all. ' As ?e sang: "But the God of David still Guides the pebble with his will, There are giants yetto kill, Wrongs unahriven," he bowed his head aod murmured softly: "True, most true," , When he had' enriched our al bums with his autographs ' he rose, to take his leave, saying as he did so: "I wish we were leaving you to peace and happiness, and I do hope the next soldiers who come will not annoy you very muon." Thon turn ing to my sister and myself, with a I twinkle in his eyes, ho added: "And I he sure, little daughters, you db not j let any of those handsome young 1 yankees carry you away.' ' . I [ , Passing out to the lawn, his quick j oyo noted under tho aapen troos a lit tle carri ago in whioh my baby brother lay fast asleep. He stepped quickly, to the side of it and bending downy pressed his boarded Hps to the little unconscious face, then mounted his horse and with e parting wave bf j his hat, passed forever from our eight. From sight, but hot from memory. And thinking of him now, it is not the braire soldier ?nd great leader I jf?o&H',60 tauts -2 the unssid?hi.'.aria* hearted, strong man, who oould in terest himself in thoughtless youngi strangers and entertain them while' his hesrt was torn with anxiety and his mina weighted doTo with respon sibility that would have crushed a peaker, spirit, ?

The Georgia Division of the Daugh ters of tho Confederacy Convention, held in Macon, have started a move ment to erect a mouument to Capt. Wira, commander of the prison at Anderdon ville. Their resolutions will be endorsed by every Confederate soldier as the right thing to do in honor of the truth of history. Capt. Wirz was a soldier, and per formed his duty as a soldier, and waB murdered after the war by the Federal government to appease tho wrath of the radical element of the North. The treatment of the prison ers at Andersonville was not half as bad as the treatment of the Confed erates in Northern prisons. This matter bas been [fully shown by the records, as there were 7 per oent. more deaths in Northern prisons than in the Southern, notwithstanding the North had all the medioal appliances of the world to drew from, while the South had no medicines-the North even declaring > quinine contraband. Wo will not discuss this further, but quote from the resolutions. The following action was taken by Savannah Chapter: Mrs. A. C..Benning, of Co-lumbuo, moved that "that convention adopt the resolution of Mrs. Young, of Sa vannah, and that the Georgia Divis-, ion, U. D. C., afc onco take the initia tive, and seoure funds to erect at An dersonville, 6a., a monument whioh shall stand as the protest of the South against the slanders and falsehoods, already displayed, in bronze and mar ble at that place/' Seconded by Mrs. M. L. Johnson, of Cass Station, and carried. The resolution offered by Mrs. Young reads as follows: "Whereas, Capt. Henry Wirz, com mandant of the Stooksde Prison, at Anderson ville, Ga., was judicially murdered under false charges of cruelty to prisoners. . And, "Whereas, after an interval ur i forty years these false ohsrges are I reiterated on sign boards in publio places, from the pulpit and on monu ments: "Therefore, he it "Resolved, That the United Daugh ters of the Confederacy in Georgia, use their influence to obtain the neoessary funda to placo a suitable memorial to Capt. Wira, in Anderson ville, Ga., upon whioh a statement of faots shall be engraved io enduring brass or marble, showing that the Federal government was solely respon sible for the condition of affairs at Andersonville. Be it farther "Boscived, That as four Federal prisoners were permitted to go from Andersonville to Washington to plead for ah ezohange ' of prisoners, and when refused a' hearing returned to prison, thus keeping their parole, a tribute to their honor be inscribed on said monument," - / An Eloquent Welcome. ?: ?v .-- ? :?: ? ?

Washington, December 14.-Sen ator Foraker, of Ohio, has introduced a bili to provide for the appropriate marking of tho graves of soldiers an<: sailors of the Confederate army anti navy who died in Northern prisoni and were buried near tho prisoni where they died.
