All Hands Around,

One OF the most pleasing instances
IF shaking hands across the bloody
chasm" that has ever come under our
observation occurred recently between
a federal coloael from the New Eng
land states and a confederate major
from Virginia, whom the fortunes of
war had once thrown tegetner in con
tiict, and after a lapse of twenty
wears. have discovered each others
identity in remote cities of the Union
and exchange those cordial greetings
which only brave hearts can appre-
ciate We give the incident ia the
words Of one of the participants :
After the battle OF Cedar Mountain.
the federal prisoners were given in
charge over to our squadron OF caval-
ry The order came Just after dark
and the men were congratulating
themselves upon the prospect of a
nights rest, after a hard days work.
The order was to report at once, and
the unwelcoWe notes of the bugle
warning to saddle mp were most re-
luctantly obeyed, the boys forming
into ranks with their half-cooked
suppers in the utensils in which they
had been prepared.
The prisoners that were put in
our charge, however, were worse off
than ourselves. having had no part of
a supper, and being compelled to
walk, while we were on horseback
We marched all night, and soon after
sunrise rerched Orange Court House
where we halted for breakfast. The
citizens offered 10 give the Confeder-
ates theirs, but refused to furnish any
for the prisoners, saying that some
Federals had been in their village a
few days before and mistreated them.
We then applied to the post com.
mlssaTy but he also refused, saying
be was not subject to our orders. We
put him under temporary arrest, and
helped ourselves 10 rations sufficient
for all hands. After breakfast we
took the train for Gordonsville.
where we turned our prisoners over;
bit before taking leave of US, they
formed en- masse and passed reso]u-
tions thanking our command for
their kindness to them. One Of the
prisoners, a colored from Connect
cut, stepped up to me aud said: Il
have no way of expressing my ap-
probation of the kind consideration
shown by our command to us prison
ers. but as a testimonial of it let me
present you with my shoulder straps,
which represent everything that is
sacred to me, as a soldier.
II hesitated to accepthis gift chiefly
because of their great value to the
donor, which fully appreciated, bat
l finally took them and we parted, he
to go to Libby prison and / to follow
Stonewall Jackson. Among the few
possessions that remained to nae after
the war were the shoulder straps, and
[ have since tried several times to
trace out the gallant colonel. IL was
only lately that / found him, through
the kindness of General Wright, Of
the war record Office, at Washington,
and wrote asking him if he had for
gotten the circumstance, and if he
desired to renew the acquaintance.
His reply breathes more the sentiment
of lost friends than enemies, and
shows me beautifully the feeling
which animated the soldiers who met
and knew each others provinces on
the Dattle field

Ar the recent meeting OF southern
cotton manufacturers ut Augusta, Co,
forty mills were represented and cap
ital to the amount of slG,00o.oo0. The
determination Of the manufacturers
was that there is too much cverpro-
duction and that a check should be
placed upon it, This has been the
trouble with cotton manufacturers in
northern states especially those who
make the coarser grades of cotton.
The southern mills have the monopo-
ly of that business now, ana the mills
have increased so rapidly that it is
oyerdone and profits have fallen from
twenty and twenty five per cent to
six, seven, and ten per cont The
only remedies for overproduetion are
periodical terms Of idleness for the
mills and operatives, or theacquisition
of foreign markets for the goods or
course, the latter is the most profitable
and healthful for the manufacturer

was amid cheers from hundreds of voices, and
quiet was only restored after his approach to the
speakers stand. He spoke for fifteen minutes
on the topics of the day, giving slight history

Porter bill, and concluded by giving his opinion
that the convention should let the delegates go
