Letter Irsm CoIoneL AlstOn.


The following lettsr from Col r. A. AL
aton. of the late Confederate army. vas
written from Meadow Nook. DeKalb Co.,
Ca, July 81. 1885," to the editor Of the
Metropolitan Record:
have been convinced by the teachings
of history and man, and more particularly
by the events which have come under my
own personal knowledge during the past
Eve years, ''thst lie well stuck 70 answers
as we'll as the truth" 70 serve the purposes
of hate and envy, and woe be unto the in1i.
vidual and people who are forced TO permit
systematic aud persistent SANDER to re-
main unrefuted.
Victor Hugo says somewhere that man 8
destiny depends as much upon what is said
Of him as on what he actually does. The
fanatics of the North have acted on this fact
for thirty years. aud the digni6ed contempt
with which We have regarded their misrep-
reservations has ended in our ruin and desc
lation.
These reflections have been called to
mind by reading the report Of the commit
tee appointed By Congress 10 investigate
the charges against President Davis of com
plicity with the assassination Of the late
President Lincoln. ~
Il appears to me that sense Of shame
would prevent any sci of men who had s
particle of feeling or honor from the at.
tempt to link the name Of such character
as Jefferson Davis with murder and crime
After the most diligent Investigation
running through 8 period Of more thar
twelve months, snd suborniBg Witnesses
who, for the honor Of humanity be It said
recanted at the last moment and confessed
their dark crime, what does the whole tes.
timony amount to?
Fist, that Mr.. Davis, during the progress
OF long and terrible war, conducted on th'
part of our enemies with bsrbarous cruel
ty unknown TO modern times, received feV
letters from . few individuals, requesting
permission 10 offer themselves ss instFU
ments to rid their country Of the men VII,
were regarded as the wicked suthors Of ou
suffeFings. These letters are parsded befJr'
the public-oDe from G. Z. o. De Kalk
another from J. S. Paramere, and snothe
from Lieut.. Waldemar AlstOB, requesting
this permission. The two frst are IN
known to me; but Lieut.. AlstOa Wss Al
officer under my command At one time--al
unassuning and intelligent youth, sbOu
nineteen years of age. who bad witnessed
enough cruelty at the hands Of the enem.
to turn his heart into bitterness snd gall
In none Of these cases vas the permission
sought granted; aud the committee wer
careful to suppress those cases where
was not only refused. but rejected with in
dignant seOrn, IS vas always the esse Ebe
these kind Of letters we're brought to th
personal knowledge Of NE. Davis.

These we're the last weFds Of Mr.. Davis
to his YaDquished and scattered people. and
few among that vast audience who will not
remember them. God knows they sunk
deep into my heart, and can never feel
again what I then felt. When heard our
noble chisftsin bid Us what I felt was his
last adieu. Many of as could no longer re-

He boweds and was about to turn to 60

telegraph Office handed hin dispatch. He
opened it calmly. and read it in silence. and
folding it up and returning it TO the snvel-
ops, handed it to Col. Wm. johnson. re-
marking IS he did so:
''This contains very astounding intelIi-
genee."
The crowd whose anxiety could be no
longer restrained. cried out, Read it, . and
COL Johnson, in bis deep. slow and solemn
tone. read it alOud.
Some thoughtless persons shouted, sad
Mr.. Davis looked il such earnest reprool.
that instantly every voice Was hushed as
though they we're ashamed Of having broken

with Mr. Davis. who asked him about his
family, and other questions Of that kind,
with Nhich be was making al feel at ease
who came near him.
Captain Edward LoWndes. Of South Caro-.
lima was then introduced. and after short
conversation Mr.. Davis retired into the
house.
This, on my honor, Eas all that occurred

Every woman should be married to one
worthy of her. Marriage brings care and
wear-but it is the ring which is worn thai
keeps bright, and the watch that lies still
and unwound that gets out of order. The
sweet sympathies involved in the relations
Of the family; the new energies developed
By new responsibilities; the new compen-
sations secured about delightful play of ell
the faculties of the heart and Intellect which
in their reaction upon the body produce an
effect that, in the end, is nothing lees than
preseryative. Eotw outstanding the asser-
lions Of matbematicians. the marriage ring
is the sweet spanding "eirele" in which
husband add wife have the problem set
them Of making all things square"
