William Jboaa, who waa flrat a private ano •attad to the ranks, then a chaplain to the done of the wat. These extracts an taken from Vol. XLI, “Oonfeder- ito Military History." The author Is now Chaplain-General of the United Confederate Veterans. Dunoff the war he waa fittingly des'gnated as the “fighting Parson." Chaplain Jones la a of marked ability! with both pan and tongue. He is a Baptist minister. In his testimony before "the committee on the conduct of the war," Major Geneneral Hooker— "fighting Joe" be was affectionately and appropriately called by hla men— oeee this remarkable and emphatic language: :—— “Our artillery had always been su porlorto that of the rebels, aa was also oar Infantry, axoept In discipline, and that, for reasons not neoassary to mention, nerer did equal Lee’s army. With a rank and file vastly interior to our own intellectually and physically, that army had, by dlolpllne alone, ao qutred a character for etaadlnem and effloleDey nnenrpa—art, in my Judge- nient, in ancient or modegn times. Wc hays not bean abls to rival It.” How, we may folly accept the lat ter part of this atatement of General Hooker’s as to the ehatacter cf the OonlodaiiU army; without c needing tbit it waa doe alone te discipline.

And I fQGqual honor to the other armies of the Confederacy.

In evidence of the high morale of the Confederate army, a letter from a gallant Union colonel, who served tc the end of t e war, is here quoted as It waa lubltahed in the Southern His torical Society Papers (Vol. IX, pp, 142, 142), In whloh ha says; “I take pleasure In reading the Southern His torical Society Papers, and consider them invaluable. Tney show conclu sively the great disparity of numbers and the bravery and great laorifloes of the Southerners in battling for their principles and for what the) honestly consider were their rights. And I take a Just pride, as an Amer ican eltlt3n, a descendant, on both sides of my parentage, of English stock who came to this country about 1640, that tha Southern army, com posed almost entirely of Americans, were able, wider the ablest American chieftains, to defeat so often the over whelming boats of the NOrth, whloh were composed largely of foreigners to oar solL” General Hookar, In his testimony, surely overlooked tills ele ment, or he would not have teetlfled that the Confederates were Inferior to hla people, "intellectually and pbyel oally,” and acquired their superiority in steadiness and efficiency "by dis cipline alone.” But the point will be obvious by rdtlog the results of a few of the many battles aa Illustrations. When on account of the wounding of Gen J. B. Johnson at Sevan P.nes, Gan. R E. Lee was pat in command In Vir ginia, June 1, 1662, toe situation looked dark indeed for the Oonfed era tea. The capture of Forts Henry and Donelson, the fall of New Or leans, the capture of Naatvltle, Roan- oka Islatd and Norfolk, gave the Fed- erals confidence of success and tended to greatly dispirit the Uon federates The gloom bad been somewhat bright ened by the Confederate victory at abvtgtitc promises l given to tha right spirit ihaQ not lose its reward. As for tha troatroant of despite all of tha slandaR published against tha Oeufederaey and an still unjustly repsated ths fate n mains that Ooofsdarato records have searched to vain for proof that authorities aver or fejpt&firsfttotved Many ill treatment of prisoners. The Confederates did everything in their power to mitigate the suffering of prisoners and made vartcue hnmane propositions to that end, whloh were rejected by the F- d erals; and while the eufferlngs of pris oners were vary great and toe mortal- tty among them fearful on both sides, yet ths effl Msl (sports of E. M Stan ton, United States secretary of war, and J. K. Barnes, surgson general, show that nearly four per cent more Confederates perished In Northern prisons than Fedsrals In Southern prisons, and tobMMtwlthstendlng ths fact that toe Confederacy was dell dent in food, ralm«nt and medidoes for even Ita own soldiers, while the Federals had an abundsnos of all sup plies. The truth Is that our Chris ttan President, Jtffnraon Davis, and his generals conducted the war oo the highest plane of civilization; that our rank and file oaught their spirit and showed In this, as in other dlreo tloos, tbalr peculiar and lofty morals. The great English scholar and pact, Prof. P. 8. Woseley, wrote the truth In lines of blended strength and beau In his poem dedicated to Gen. R, E. Lee, In whleh he tons refers to the Southern Oonfederaoy: “Ah! realm of tombafbut let her bear This blazon to the last of times: No nation rose so white and fair, Or fell so pure of crime.” KIDS TWO lives; " A Barber Kills HU Wife and The* Commits Saletde. 1 Valley campaign, whleh terminated at Croei Keys and Fort Republic a few dajs aftsr General Lm assumed But the aUuktlon was ex oeediogly threatening, for McClellan was strongly intrenebad with 116,000 man within sight of thg spiiwi of Richmond and almost wv^ range of the oily.

Gen. J. B.

At ter the bloody repulse of the Federale at Fredfriokaburg, near tha foot of Marye’s hill, they toft their many kill- ad and wounded lying between the lines, and the piteous cries of the brave men on account of pain and thirst appealed to the sympathies of the soldiers of both armies.—Kirk land went to General Kershaw, who waa then In command of tha Oonfed- ■rates at that point, and said with deep emotion: "General, I can’t stand this.” "What la the matter, Sergeant?’’ asked the general. He replied : VA11 day I have beard those poor people orylng for water and I can stand It no longer, loometoask permission to give them water. ” The general regarded him for a moment wlth faelings of profound admiattoe, anfr wsM^^iklrod, don’t you know that yon would get a ballet through your head the moment you ■topped over the wall?" 1 “Yes," he said, "1 know that I may, but If ytu will tot ms, I am wililDg to try tt.”-^ After a pause the general said : 'Kirkland, I ought not to allow you to run such a risk, but the sentiment whloh actuates you is so noble that I win not refuse your request, trusting that God may protect you.
