GEN. A. MoUToN.-Major J. S. Mouton, accompanied
by his brother Sidney Mouon passed through Natchi-
toches short time since, their way to Mansfield,
being entrusted with the mournful mission of transfer
ring the remains of Gen. Alfred Mouton from their
temporary burial place at Mansfield to the family GEM
etery at Vernillionvilie La.
During Major Mouton's short stay in Mansfield, he
the recipient Of many kind and courteous aten-
tious from its citizens who, with characteristic llber
atty, insisted upon defraying the expenses attendant
the disnterment of the body and Its conveyance to
Grand Bayou landing, where it was placed on board
the steamer Frolic. 1t gratifying to Major Mou-
ton to see the eagerness eynced by the people OF
Mansfield to show by testimonials however slight, the
esteem in which they held the memory of the brave
who had fallen in their midst CALAMITY defending
the then so sacred in eyes and SO dear to our
hearts.
Upon opening the grave, the body, after its three
years burial, found in extraordinary state of
preservation, even the clothing-the dear old uni
form Of gray-remaining intact. He lay there, as he
had fallen that day of death and glory three
ago. Three years ago lis it only three years 1t
might be three centuries for the changes that have
taken place. Nationality destroyed, patriotism and
pride-the grand old Roman pride of which we boosted
extingushed at best hidden nvisibly under cloud
the principles for which we thought it then sacred
duty to contend, the principles for whose sake our
heroes bled and our women wept and suffered, now
eagerly repudlated: the dead, whose memory we
vowed should be immortal now tenderly remembered
by only few faithful hearts-the nation, who dared
to dream epic and to act drama before whose
grandeur the world stood in breathless amaze-now
eager to fling off the toga for the mendcant's mantle
and dance hornppe Ito Radical tune) as nidbly as
Arab bcggar, for the sake of the " buckseesh" Of
Office.
But we are approaching dangerous ground" We
will carry little lamp away from its "splled gum
POWDER" and yet how natural that bitterness should
mngie with passionate regret, whenever think of
lo
beneath the shadow of the conquered flag we loved.
Not wholly are they forgotten. Not utterly have
the weeds Of selfshness overgrown their memory; it
is still fresh in the souls Of poets and in the
hearts of our women. Major Mouon found the graves
of the Conederates who fell in the memorable battle
Of Mansfield reverenty cared for by gentle hands and
the presence everywhere of planted and nurtured flow
ers bore eloquent evidence that there still some
hearts (even if only the ''weak" ones Of women) who
turn from the al-engrossing worship of " expe-
diency" to honor the chvalry which upheld lost
cause with devotion "strong unto death"
