me, bnt we amt noticing such things
now. We whipped them fellers 60 often
durin the late war, that We don't feel like
wasting stationery on 'em now. I look
upon the concern ns a "Grand Condolin
Society" and was CHAD to 'see4 that the
feilers who got the mest whippin made
the most noise in the Reunion. / think
that's right, Hike to see 'em sympathisin
together under o common misfortune
dident think, however, there was much
decent propriety in holdin their meetin
in public, and especially in Louisville

ton. We've got NO Grand Army down
here to reunion, and are peaceablv at
tendin to bisiness; but I'll bet two dol
lars that Lonisville concern wont knock
another chip of otir hat. With this
pinted remark, I dismiss the subjekt
There's bigger things attracting our at
| tention.
II had time, Mr.. Editor, I would
make few remarks to MIR. Grant about
his Executive impudence. Taint the
first time since We whipped 'em, that
these fellers have been tryin to make our
niggers believe they don't belong to us.
They've got some few in the Alabama
Legislature Of that opinion now, and
they are playin the devil generally. Now
If MIR. Grant cant write O better message
than that part about Georgy, he'd better
abdicate. I read it to Tip, AMI he said,
"Why, Mas Bill, surely, shorely the
mans fool. What's General Grant got
to do with Georgy?" I despise to see
man always putin his segar into other
peoples faces, or pokin his nose into
peoples bisiness. reckon old Bout
well or some other old cuss is to blame
for it. Says he. General, them fellers
down there in that Georgia cage are get
ing along too eaay. I think you had
better stir 'em up little-give 'em few
growl. All right, old fel, we'll growl for
timed. V.-and the weather permit
ting-and the boys little bigger and a
few more foundrys built-we'll talk this
matter over. Hurrah for Bob Lee. I'd
like to have seed him and Joe Johnston
walk into the ru-nion with their regi-
mentals on. Oh, my country! some of
them fellers would have been runnin till
yet. 1 think see Pope in about two
miles of Alasky.
But I've no time to enlarge, Mr..
Editor, for I only wish to say to you
about that letter, you will please ,enig,
or put some other name to it. I don't
want to rob the author of his laurels, or
to get notorious about what he done, or
what didn't do. This kind of thievin
has become quite common, and there's
no law again it that know of. Mr.
Shakespeare said it was high larceny. and
stealth ones purse was not to be com
pared to it; but as the lawyers say. it
seems to be q case of "dam EN- obsequee
injurious!' can therefore only entreat
certain gentlemen (?) to tote their own
skillets. BILL ARP.
P. 81 take this okashun to notify
the Confederate public. that we are now
organizin Grand Confederate Associa-
tion to make arrangements for the future
payment of Pensions to our Army
Widows and disabled soldiers. That
concern, popnlarly known as the United
States, has got to pay 'em. Send in
your names. Hurrah for Sob Leel
