" 'On fame's eternal camping ground,' Their silen tents are spread. j And Glory guards with solemn round The biouvac of the dead.' ; "In every national cemetery these lines, written by a Confederate sol-! dier. appear either over the gateway' or upon the central monument. It ! might be said in explanation of a cer tain anomaly, rather senting than real, that they were written long be-i fore the War Sections to commemo-; orate Kentucky soldiers fallen in the i Mexican war. whose remains were ; brought home a year or two later for ; interment in the State cemetery at i Frankfort. But the circumstances that . Theodore O'Hara. their author, serv-] ed the Confederacy as he had served the Union, points a moral and adorns a tale of patriotic valor outlasting . political passion and surmounting lines of battle. Glorious History Written Today. ; "The final chapter of the glorious history born at Lexington, Bunker | Hill and Yorktown, continued across the Plains of Cholmette to Palo Alto, Buena Vista and Cerro Gordo, and thence onward to Shiloh. Gettysburg and Appomattox, is written today by the unopposed capture of Washing-' ton City by a thin, gray line of John ; ny Rebs carrying beneath the Stars and Stripes the tattered banners of the Confederacy?symbols both and alike of national unity and American manhood?invited there by the brave soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic to be welcomed and cheered as they totter along the Great Ave nue by every American who loves his country and has a heart in his bos om.

But they did not bring their English quarrels with them. The terms Puritan and Cava lier were afterthoughts, one .might ev en say affectations, of our war of sev tions. That fine bellwether of seces sion, James Henry Hammond, of South Carolina sprang directly from Puri tans of New England, while that first of Confederate soldiers, Albert Syd ney Johnston?a Cavalier if ever there was a Cavalier?had not a drop of Southern blood in his veins, having been born in Kentucky soon after his father and mother arrived there from Connecticut. What a rare old Puri tan John Slidell, the Louisiana leader, was?born and reared in New York! and who shall say that Kearny, Cus ter and McPherson were not Cava liers?
