Douglas, Who Was With Him All Day, ? Deals Another Blow to the Verity of the. Lines: '? Halt! The Dust-Brown Ranks Stood fast. Firel Outblazi-d (he Rifle Blasl." [New York Sun, April 24.] Gen. Henry Kyd Douglas lectured before the People's Institute at Cooper | Uuion last night on Stonewall Jackson, under whom he served. In the cour.;e of the lecture Gen. Douglas turned aside to demolish the Barbara Frietchielegend. "Gen. Jackson."he said, ' crossed the Potomac a few days before the day of the alleged incident described in Whittier's poera. lie was hurt by his horse and was carried about in a stretcher. lie went into Frederick but twice. I ac-1 companied him on both visits. On Sun day he went in an ambulance. It was i at night. We passed through Frederick | again on the following Wednesday, the j day on which the Barbara Frictchie in- i cident was supposed to have occurred. It was at 6 o'clock ill the morning. Wg i stopped for a few moments in the square at Patrick and Main street, and Gen. Jackson asked me to take him to the home of Rev. Dr. Ross. He was not up at that I hour and we left our cards and went away without seeing him. Gen. Jackson asked j me to take liini by the shortest way to j the head of the column. I was perfectly familiar with the streets of Frederick j and I took him past the house of Mr. William Bantz down the street called | Mill Alley to the Middletown pike on the j way to Ilagerstown. When we reached I that point the head of the column had , passed and Gen. Jackson rode on to catch j up with it. He did not pass Barbara ! Frietc'.iie's house. "She was an old woman. She was] helpless and wis said to be quite blind. If she had a Hag out tint day nobody was known to have seen it. I for years i made a series of inquiries, investigating the subject. No citizen can be found who saw the thing; no solditr can be | found who saw it, no relative of Barbara j Frietcliie ever admitted the truth of the story; not even a member ot the ubiqui tous army of newspaper correspondents ever heard of the thing before the pub- i ?lication of Whittier's poem. Whittier isj said to have had his information from i Mrs. E. D. E. N. Soutlnvorth, the no-j %'elist. Being a novelist, she was not; concerned with the facts. I was with j Gen. Jackson every minute that he was I in Frederick, and I can say finally that, so far as Stonewall Jackson and Barbara Frietchie were concerned, all of that | beautiful poem was pure fiction." At the conclusion of the lecture Prof. ' Sprague Smith, who presided, said that j Gen. Douglas would answer any ques- | tion that the audience might like to ask. A number of questions were asked as to Stonewall Jackson's campaigns and tac tics and Gen. Douglas answered them | painstakingly. When Prof. Smith reached I the section of the hall that was on the ex treme left of the speaker and asked it any ! body in that section desired to ask any questions, a swarthy man who looked. like a Russian or a Hungarian, rose, 1 would like to ask, he said, "was that war just, in your opinion ? " Prof. Smith waved the man down, but Gen. Douglas, with his shoulders thrown back and his eyes flashing, insisted on answering the question. "If that friend asked the question for information," he said "I must refer him to the historians. If he asks to obtain my personal opinion I will say that I am not ashamed of any act of mine that had i to do with the Confederacy. I will say to him. as Gen. Grant once said, that no man need ever make any apology for having followed the Southern Cross or for having worn the gray." The crowd cheered. The man rose up again from his seat. " I would like to ask," he said, "what your reasons are for not being ashamed?" Prof. Smith announced in a loud and commanding tone that a vote of thanks was in order, and in an aside to the questioner told him to sit down. The vote of thanks was passed with a whoop. A deed was admitted to record at Charleston recently, by which James F. Brown and wife conveyed to Judge Dan iel B. Lucas the io,23S-acre tract situated in Boone county and embracing the en tire watershed of Fork Creek, which for many years has been in litigation. The entire tract is said to be underlaid by coal, and is covered by a virgin forest of fine timber. The consideration named in the deed is $34,235.21. ?? Our enterprising blacksmith, lohn Dixon, has fitted up at his shop, a stock, for handling of vicious horses for shoeing or otherwise. The arrangement consists of four posts planted in the ground and held firmly by horizontal rails or braces. The horse is led into the stock and a bar slipped behind him. Running between the posts on either side, are two rollers which work in sockets. In these rollers are a number of eyes through which runs an iron rod. A broad piece of stout canvass to which eyes are attached on either side, is fastened on side and then "brought beneath the body and similarly ; adjusted on the other side. By the means ; of this canvass arrangement the animal can be lifted off of his feet, in which 1 * . position the most restless animal is com pletely under the operator. This is the only arrangement of this kind in the county that we know of. and is admirably adapted to the purpose for which it is designated?saving both the animal and I operator from injury.?Advocate. Eloquent Letter from Gen. Rosser. General Thomas L. Rosser, replying to the notification of his election as a mem ber of John W. Rowan Camp, U. C.

Dear Comrade ?Please accept my most sincere and hearty thanks, and convey to your camp my gratitude and high appreciation of the honor conferred on me by them in making me an active member of the John \V. Rowan Camp of United Confederate Veterans. The vicissitudes of a long and busy life have widely separated our lines of march and thrust on us individual cares, which, with the weight of accumulated years, bear heavily upon and greatly fatigue us, but messages like that which you have sent me, come to us like the shout ot victory at the close of a hard fought bat tle, and stir cords of sweet vibration which have long been still and silent in our breast. I wish I could" attend your meetings, but I cannot promise myself that great pleasure. I am proud that we are comrades, and if we cannot meet around the camp fires down here, let us so live that we may meet with our great commanders and brave comrades beyond tbe stars, up yonder, when the great reveille proclaims the dawn of the eternal day, in the world without end.
