The Last Battle Field.

Rev. DR.. Craven, on his way to the
General Conference of the NJ. E. Church
South, in New Orleans, stopped in
Lynchburg, Va, and in writing to the
Raleigh Enterprise, makes the following
touching allusion to Appomattox Court
House, in Virginia tE
We have passed to-day through To-
cality of undying memories. Appomat-
tox Court House will be remembered
whenever Raleigh and Petersburg are
forgotten. The whole country shows
most impressively that the storm of war
has passed oyerit The debris of a ruined
army of heroic men brings sadness to the
soul Over all this field of death strug-
gle, the farmers are blowing, new fences
have been erected and the budding vege-
tation is just now awakening to the WOO
ing OF spring; but these signs of life gem
orally so welcome, seem discordant here.
1t seems to the sad soul and the fearful
eye, that these old shoes, these old broken
guns, these fragments of wagons, wrecks
Of cars, pieces of old hats, bleaching
bones of horses, and nameless graves of
many Southern boy ought to be in a
desert
As We look upon the forsaken bate
ries and immense hospitals of Esrmville,
or the stricken fields Of the Appomattox,
we feel that the pillow ought not to turn
this soil, that the trees ought to die, and
that no bird ever ought here to sing
again. No Union man, however true
and loyal to the United States, :" if he is
a man. could walk over this desperate
field unmoved and untouched. Here a
brave army surrendered. gave up its
arms, and laid down its banners in the
dust. Here lie the remains of son
and brother, for whom brother mourns
and sister weeps, and there is nothing
TO comfort them Here lie the half un-
covered bones Of father, whose little
children still ask, when will father
come home ?" 1t is now night, it is
raining gently, all is still, and feel a
lonely sadness that makes the heart
ooha
