A CONFEDERATE ORGANIzATIoN.-We
clip the following from the Anderson
(Texas) Record, respectfully submitted for
consideration at headquarters-no cards
Some of Hoods Brigade seom deter
mined to violate General Sheridan's order,
prohibiting "Confederate organizations" :"
We can't say we arc sorry in this in
stance We had hoped that on the sur
render everybody would submit in good
faith however, on Wednesday night, the
5th instant, Howard Barry, of Company
G., 4th Texas, went out to Mr.. Kelley
house, and married the old gentleman's
daughter Miss Bette, right in the face OF
the whole family, and q large assembly Of
spectators Besides, the affair was wit
messed and authorized by a regular justice
of the peace, preachers and several others
whose duty it is to preserve law and
order What do you reckon General
Sheridan will think of this? If it ain't
q Confederate organization we would like
to know what it is. AS for us, the big
pile of cake sent us will make us mum on
the subject.

Our IN THE Cold AaA1N.-The She
nandoah Herald thus cleverly notices the
withdrawal of the Federal troops from its
immediate vicinity:
We are again drifting to destruction
We are left without protection: On Sat
urday forenoon last, with but little cere-
mony, the squad of United States caval-
ry, sent here to prevent our houses being
mobbcd and our women slandered, as we
understand, was ordered to Harper's Fer
They were well-behaved while here, ex-
cept that they had little friendly set-to
among themselves, soft in the Silly night,
the result Of too free use OF bad "tanlgle
foot" 1t is fair to presume that Others
will be sent here for our protection. Sure
ly our guardian angels will not permit US
to freeze to death now, after keeping us
alive so long by extending over us the
downy wings Of their protection.

= The Tallahassee Sentinel relates the
following: "During the late war, cor
poral in Wheeler's famous cavalry corps
obtained a young recruit for the company
to which he belonged, who for nine months
fought bravely and endured hardships
and privations which would have done
credit even to the most hardened veteran
to have undergone. At the battle Of Ben
tonville, in North Carolina, just prior to
the surrender of General Johnston's ar
my, the corporal was struck by a Minnie
ball, fell from his saddle, and instantly
expired. The young recruit, being near,
Immediately dismounted, and clasping the
livelcss form that lay on the ground, de-
clared that it was her husband i! She
proved to bo young woman who lived
in North Carolina, but who having been
despoiled of her home by the "Great Fire
Arson" had determined to enlist in the
army and remain during the war with
her husband. Now that he was dead, she
expressed desire to return to herfriends,
and was allowed to do So"

"A meeting of the Trustees OF the
Antietam National Cemetery was held IN
Baltimore last Thursday to adopt plans
for laying off, fencing and ornamenting
said cemetery The only point OF inter-
est to us in this meeting was in reference
to rock in the cemetery grounds known
as "Lee's Rock" from the fact that Gen.
r. E. Lee stood upon it for a long time
during the battle Of Antietam, or, as we
call it, Sharpsburg. Alta previous meet
ing the Board had decrced that this rock
should be taken up and removed. Atthe
meeting on Thursday it was moved tore
consider this decree and retain the rock.
The motion was opposed upon theground
that, to leave the rock, was to erect q
monument to General Lee. The motion,
however, prevailed, and it was determin-
ed to retain and preserve the ro"' -.s q
feature of historic interest.
