LETTER FROM wooDv1LLE, MISS.

WooDvnLE, MISS, June 18th, 1875.
Editor Morning Star and Catholic Messenger.
very interesting ceremony took place in
our cemetery on the 10th inst, the commemo-
ration of the Confederate dead, which had been
postponed from Goth of April, awaiting the
completion of o new fence and other improve
ments. Twenty-six soldiers lie here, all of
whom died in the Friend Hospital Dr.. Strobe,
surgeon. which was established in the spring
of '63, and removed in the fall of '6l.
The building used was intended for female
seminary of the highest class, and was admir-
ably adapted for the purpose, situated in q
beautiful grove in the most desirable suburb
of the town. The hospital was regularly
visit by committees of ladies. Some of the
noblest of Sthese have passed to their reward,
and were l at liberty to give the well known
names of some of them, the friends of these
deceased soldiers would know that under their
auspices DO need, spiritual or otherwise, was
neglected that was in their power to supply.
Many of these soldiers were Creoles of Louis
lana, and members of Miles Legion, several of
them were Catholics, who either received the
last Sacramento of the Church or expressed the
desire to do so if possible.
At the time ef their death all communication
was cnt off with their families, and it is to be
feared that many of those mothers, wives and
other relatives never knew the fate of their
loved ones, whose last prayers were for them,
or received their farewell messages, which
drew tears flom the eyes of comparative
strangers. But where, in "those times that
tried mems SOULS" was Confederate soldier
ever looked upon a stranger
After the surrender Gin '66), copy of the
Official Hospital Record was procured, and the
names of the soldiers who were buried here
were published in the Woodvlle Republican
and in the New Orleans Crescent. This record,
however, was not quite perfect. The names
given are as follows:
A. Boizelle, Miles Legion.
Robert Savant, Miles Legion.
Numa Leyer, Miles Legion.

There are eight other soldiers whose names
are unknown, as one page of the Hospital
RECORD is missing.
My principal object in making this COM
manication is that the friends of these soldiers
may be assured that in their sickness they were
tenderly cared for, and that their remains will
DC guarded as a sacred trust, in the language
Oh the orator of the day, "as long as there
oreathes Southern breath, or lives Southern
woman, or blooms Southern flower"

cross about eight feet high had been erected

WIN mowers, among which the snowy mag
nolia' and funereal grey moss, the most charac-
tetiStic embtems of the land once termed the
sunny South, now the Ireland of America,
'ne Nlooe of nations" were conspicuous. A
ii'Ule granddaughter of Gen. Posey and one of
ner young companions placed miniature Con-
-0Uef"te hags on the grave of A. Babin and a
nsmeless hero, who rests just under the shadow
of the cross.

Friday noon, J. c. Whipplc was at
Ladd's Pork House. unloading dead
hog, when the steam whistle bowed
and frightened his team, causing
them to run away. Whipple jumped
into the wagon and attempted to get
hold of the lines, failing to do this,
aud fearing they would upset the
wagon, he jumped out, ran and caught
the haltcr-st,ap, and tried 10 hold
them, In which manner he was drag
ged some distance, but had to let them
go. They ran up to Reifsnider's shop,
on Main street, where they were
stopped and caught. Mr.. Whipplc
ran the risk of his life in trying to
stop them, but luckily escaped with
few cuts and bruiecs. The wagon
was but little damaged.

be taken as an average, in this city, as
we are informed by the money ordor
clerk, in the postoflice. The orders is
sued are usually for less amounts than
the average, but during January there
were issued 303 orders to the value of
$3,3l0.4l, and there were paid during

paid for issuing and paying orders a
very small per cent. and the Govern

thus supplied with the means of send
