.A. 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

A Monument to Capt. Wfrz.
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,"
