Our neighhor Of the Republican, allidiEg
to the recent claim set Up rs to the author
slip Of the wcll-knoWn poem "All Qaict
Along the Potonac,H says that "the author
slip has too long remained unchanged to be
questioned at this late day" Our neiglDor
is mistaken, The authorship Of the poem
has been challenged time and again, and has
been claimed by no less tlin six different
personS-Mr. Oliver, who claims it for his
father. making the seventh. \ short history
Of the poem may not be unintcrcstlng just
now.
Major Lamar Fontainc, gallant southern
soldier, by the way, claims that he wrote
" AN Quiet in camp, near Fairfax Court
house, in Virginia. and read it to his mess i'll
August, 1861. Afterwards, during the same
month, he distributed copies Of the poem
among members of his company. Tine cap
tain OF Major Fontainc's company, Mr.. John
ID. Alexander, says the first he heard of the
poem "was in the 7r'n!er Or tdN of 1851
Captain AleXandei's testimony is important,
for on the SUh Of Nocenlber, 1861, the poem
appeared in Harper's Weekly over the initials
OF Mrs. Ethel Beers, OF New York. The
question is whether il appeared in any
southern paper prior to That time. This
satisfactorily settled, it will lie comparatively
al easy matter to decide as to the authorship.
The writer Of this remembers to have first
seen the poem in print in the southern papers
in the spring OF 1862, but it is probable that
its first appearance was prior to that time.
Mrs. Ethel Beers contributed the poem to
Harper under the title Of "The Picket
Guard. In the south it is known rs 1" All
Quiet Along the Potomac"
Major Foltaine's claim has never been adj
equately substantiated. lie certainly iEis
never produced anything in verse that will
bear comparison with "All Quiet" That
lyric carries with it the proof that it was
written by no ''prentice hand" Besides
poetical genius of very high order, it shows
scholarship and Il most conSrmmate knowl-
edge Of the art of versifcition. The speci-
mems of Major Fontaine'S verses that have
fallen under our observation hetray igno-
rance of the commonest rules Of metre, and
are utterly wanting i'll that polished elabolfi-
ton which is the chief characteristic of the
poem in question. These simple facts will
outweigh all the testimony that Major Fon-
tame has ever brought forward to support
his claim.
Mr.. Hugh +. Oliver, who has recently
claimed the poem for his father, ThaddeIs
Oliver, ESD, is pastor of the Baptist church
in Madison, in this State, and it is not likely
that he would set up claim unless he was
satisfied in his own mind rs to the true al-
thorship. The trouble will be to satisfy
other people.
