A STORY OF THE WAR.
NOihSnce of n Pair of socks and
Chicago Girl.

OAhce OF n Pair of socks and a
Chicago Girl.
A Chicago correspondent commu-
nicates the following to the Boston
Traveller: 7a
Many of the boys of the sgd
Massachusetts, regiment who were
with Weitzels brigade when the
charge was made on the works of
Port Hudson, will remember well
the gallant defense which three or
Tour men made at the salient if was
expected this brigade would take
and hold until Paine's division could
come up. One Of those men, so a
native Of Port Hudson told us, re-
sided on a plantation about nine
miles from the landing, near a farm
now owned by Moody Brothers,
from Massachusetts. None of the
men who saw him with his "musket
dubbed" that day will doubt his
being very brave man. He was
afterwards captured at Chattanooga
and taken to Camp Douglas, Chi
cago, where he remained nearly six
months. About a year before his
capture he had been among a party
who seized supply train Of the
Fedeials, near Corinth, Mississippi.
In a box of stores belonging to the
Sanitary Commission he found a
pair of blue cotton socks, and when
he drew them on he discovered the
following note inside:
SOLDIER: Whoever thou art,
wear these socks, with the comfort
ing assurance that the fingers that
knit them were supplied with life
from a warm and sympathizing
heart. LIZZIE Y. GEE.
Chicago"
This short letter (Which was
printed in the Louisiana papers at
the time was called to mind one
day at Camp Douglas when he was
putting on the stockings, and he re-
solved, for the fun of it, to write to
her and tell her the history of the
pair Of socks. This he did, and
soon after received a call at his
quarters from Miss Gee and her
father. He did not see her or hear
from her afterward until he was
again in the Southern army and
stationed at Harper's Ferry. There
the company in which he was a
Lieutenant captured a squad of
cavalry, and among the number was
the only brother Of Miss Lizzie V.
Gee. Every kindness which could
be done for u prisoner was done for
young Gee by his new acquaint-
ance, and when, shortly after, Gee
was parOled, he Was the sworn
friend Of the Confederate lieuten-
ant. When the war closed they had
some correspondence, and the Con-
federate soldier was invited up to
Chicago to attend the wedding of
young Gees sister. When he got
there, much to his surprise, the ex-
Confederate found that Gee had two
sisters, and that the one about to be
married, was not the one ne had
seen. The rest of the story is told
in a twinkling. He married the
sister that knit the stockings. For
the details of the latter part of this
romance, see eyerybody's ex
perience,' such as signs, palpitat-
ing hearts, little moonlight, and
silly resolves Ito die or win her.
The matters which concern lovers
were not told US to circulate. But
the story itself we feel satisfied is a
true one, as the address Of the firm
in Chicago, of which the bride
groom is a member, lies before us
in our diary as we write,
