A CONFEDEF How a German Musici Con WRITES REMINISOENC: Seventy-Six Years Old Faul The following letters will afford a McGowan's brigade and to old soldiers German musician with added zest whe tender recollections of his Confederate from tl- is country for so many years. to the finest writing masters of his dau Aum-:I'tLl:r,. , S. C., Sept. 21st, 1 87. The writer of the lLtter below% is .John Gabriel Christopher Kruse, who was born Aug. 25th, 1821, in the city of Wis mar, in Mecklenburg--Schwerin, in Ger many. Ie came to America in Is5:, and lived at Walhalla until I i(I, and fron thatdate until 1865 he was in the Confed. erate army. After that he lived in Charleston until 187$, and then in Sa vannah for a number of years. Ie is now interpreter for the Spanish consu late in Hamburg, Germany. After the surrender, he was lost to the sight of his old comrades, who had the imnpres sion that Lie died thirty years ago. Some months ago the editor of the Medium wrote an incident about the Second Manassas, and lriuight in the name of Prof. Kruse. '1'htt issue of the paper wits mailed to him by hs friend, Maj. lranz M(leert, of Charleston. Upon this Prof. Kruse sent us a message, and we wrote an other article about the Second M.\anu sas incident. Then came the letter he wrote us. We have read it to several veterans who were so much pleased with it that we give it to the public. ['rof. Kruse is a man of learning and his old comrades were delighted to hear about him. When we told, at the Greenville Con federate recnion a fh%w weeks airo, that lie was still living, scores of the survivors,including ollI,eers and men, expressed the greatest de light to hear of his goo.. health and Prosperity. lrof. Kruse has a remarkablo memn ory as will appear from the letter. The parties named are well known to many of our people. lothschild at Second Manassas told the boys that he would show thei that he was not afraid and then went into the battle and caie out. mortally wounded. lie was kno n all over this section as a great musi cian and his death was much regrette. Every old sold"cr will enjoy this let. tor. It is written in excel lent styc, and hows that the men ani events of war times are fresh in his mind. Prof. Kruse has an elder brother whc lives in Kiel, in Schleswig Hiolstein, of which place he is an honorary citizen. A younger brother, aged 74 years, lives in Austrilia. LIis only sister lives in [anburg, at the age of 71 years. The combined age of the four amounts to 300 years. and no one of them has ever been sick. Editor Abbeville Medium.

My sincere friend and wel l-w ishier, Maj l''ranz Melchers, had the kindness to send mue your i nterc.sting " Med iutm,' in which you mentioned an incidIent of "t,he little 01(1 German, of Walhalla, running thle scale on a clarionet, etc., etc." I am indleed happy to state, it will surprise you and also my surv'iving friends when 1 assure you, that [ do not feel this day muchb older than I (lid at the time atlludtedi to in the "'Medium.'' I pride myself in the thought that so much interest is evined( in imy behalf by my old1 comrades. It will please them to learn from these li nes, that I hiave enjoyed almost unin terrupJted( good health since the last Ii fty years less than ten dollars would defray all miy explenses for dru'tigs, mied ici nes, COs metics, etc. I dlevouttly thank the Lord foir H is D)ivi no blessinzg and pro tection. I have met wvith miany all ii tions in my long andi chequered Ii fe, buit 1 overcame atll its vicissitude; by an imp)licit hope that all wotild he for my best. Since several weeks I am in posses sion of another copy of your valumable gazette of .June 24th, mailed to me fr-om Abbevillo, for which I ami grateful to the kind sender. I beg to tender you my warmest thanks for your kindness in having, by the mention of tihe ''little incident," caused my friends and "'comn r-ados In war'' to receive the informa t.ion that Iam still on the list of the quick, and I expect to hear from them. Itemembering vividly the incidents touched upon In yourI "'Me(dhItm,'" I beg to say a few words concerning one of them. At the time when the lat.e LIcutonant-Colonel fLed better andt my friend, the viol ini1st and vi rtuosco Roth child(, bo0th wound(ed mortally, werec borne to the rear, I mlet them on my way as I was returning from the hoiuse that was utilized for a lield-hospi tal, whither I hiad been assisting the then Sergean t-M ajor WVm.

Marshall. I now h; to say a few words about the late l,ieutenant-Colonei Led hetter, whom I have known at \ValhalIa. WVhen I wits returning from the impro vised hospital, in order to rejoin my regiment, I met I,ieutenaut-Colonel I, who was bein! borne on a litter by some of our soldiers. lie said to me: "1y dear Kruse, as you are returning to our regim ent. plaouse get my sword and also Iy Ieatler pouch with two lemons in it: thes' things must lie near the spot where I fell." I answered, "Yes sir, I shall try my best to get what you wish." I observ;:d no marks or signs that might indicate how and in what part of his body ho had been wounded. Alas! I did notknow whither to wend my way, in order to fuliill my given promise. 1 pursued a path, which I thought would carry me to the desired :pot. It was an unlucky hour for us. In less than thirty minotes there were killed more than thirty men and otli;;crs. I did not find my regiment at the place where I had left it: for having I reeived reinforcenents, our .raotPs were forcing back the enemy. I went in a direction that I guessed would let.d :no to our brigade. As it was growin;, dark and I felt much fatigutd. I I'id nyself down and soon .ell asleep. \\'hen I had awoke very ea-ly on the tie. xt. mlorninig, I found that I had coil-d mcyself down iu the midst of matny dead. \Vithin a few steps of ie the re were lying about ten or more corpses in blue uniforms, which how ever did not frighten me in any way: for around me all was serene, no deto nation or cracking of guns and reports of cannon Cou d hou heard. I thanked Almighty God for Ifis Divine protec tion. 11ing, like my many conrades, deprived of the luxury of soap, towel, hair brush and other toilette-stuff: and being Iinus water to lloisteni my narehing li)s, and nothing in sight to bite or chew for break fast, the thought. that I was not able to find Lieutenant Colonel Ledbtter's sword. pouch and lemons trounled any mind.

I should like to know if the general is still In possebsionl of this relic of the .var. V hat else could he do with it taitn to keep it?
