OE SOUTHERN ORIGIN.
Chauncey Depew's Eloquent Sketch, Dec
Grafton Day, 1879.


Nhen the war was over, in the south,
where, under warmer skies and with more
poetic temperament, symbols and emblems
are better understood than in the practical
north, the widows, mothers and children of
the Confederate dead went out and strewed
their graves with flowers, and at many places
the women scattered them impartially also
over the unknown and unmarked resting
places of the Union soldiers. As the news of
this touching tribute flashed over the north
it reused, as nothing else could have done,
national amity and love and allayed sectional
animosity and passion. 1t thrilled every
household where there was a vacant chair by
the ireside and an aching void in the heart
for lost hero whose remains had never been
found, old wounds broke out afresh, and in a
mingled tempest of grief and Joy the family
cried, MAY be it was our darling" Thus
out of sorrows common alike to the north
and south came this beautiful custom But
Decoration day no longer belongs to those
who mourn. 1t is the common privilege of
us all, and will be celebrated as long as graf
itude exists and flowers bloom.

when l went with you that night, as soon
as the greetings were over, learned that a
third principal was in the house-Capt. Sey-
ton, First Vrginia-living in hiding under
barred doors. He was fugitive from death

my own government"
"And you dared involve meg"
''Waitl beg. My brother would never
shirk an honest doom. He was innocent and
1 have proved it."
"Bnt where is he now, and they, the fam
ilyr' At the last word Andres softened. He
could not think harshly of Eva, andit flashed
upon him thatfor all love goes where it's sent,
and her feelings may have been for him what
sometimes they seemed to be, tender as well
as friendly. Mother and Eva and all are
away to the north, and my broti,sr has re-
joined his army, under Lee, spared from the
fate that hung over him.
1T was this: You remember how, last
spring, party of Confederates dashed into our
camps near Alexandria at night and seized
some officers. Afterward our men overlook
the assailants, finding two of their captured
comrades dead and three missing, supposed to
have been foully murdered. My brother led
that night attack, fair act of war, and he
was put in Union prison as hostage for the
return of the missing men, and was charged
with the murder of all"
Andres was in SILVER, thinking that he
was surely implicated in a most detestable
crime. Seyton continued:
But my brother, on his part, had simply
taken his prisoners unframed toward bis own
lineS-a long ride of-and on the way had
been oyerpowered by band Of partisan
rangers, notorious outlaws from the noun
tains. These men, always seeming plumber
and living by robbery and reprisal, insisted
upon stripping the helpless prisoners and
holding them as hostages to buy the release
Of some of their own crew who were lying in
Union prisons for crimes My brother and
his followers resisted this outrage in vain. In
the melee two Union prisoners had been killed
and the others taken away to the haunts of
the rangers, my brother and some others be-
ing finally overhauled by Union troops in
pursuit War is stern. He was sentenced to
death, and the verdict was sanctioned by his
own government, which repudiated the muir
der of captives in war. [''It is not admissible
in civilized warfare to take life with no other
object than the destruction of life decision
of G. W. Randolph, Confederate secretary of
war;
"All his proof was in the hands Of his enc
mics, the outlaws, and they were in disgrace
with both governments, and to screen their
own crimes would, if appealed to, swear
away an honest soldiers life By desperate
fight he escaped, swan over the broad Poto-
mac, and was intending to reach the noun
tains in disguise and somehow produce the
living witnesses of his innocence. IIe reached

Their. Ny stepfather, Col Ellwood, who was
also foster uncle, was genuine southerner,
conservative and set in purpose. went
north to school, and in 1861, on reaching age,
sent q writ of manumission to the slaves 1
had inherited, and all but the old family
hands left the place. l did not write to the
folks after the war began except to say that
l had enlisted for the Union and to warn
them not to know me in case fortune took me
to these parts, as something might arise to
question the loyalty of one born Virginian.
From Confederate prisoners l met learned
that Col Ellwood had fallen in the war and
Henry was captain in the First Virginia, a
regiment raised in our county and filed with
his boon companions. This is all 1 heard
until the army came here, as you know.

day, my heart was full and it was as much as

these strange relationships would have puz-

rayel it. Excusing himself, he said to his
companion, ''I'll take post outside until you
are ready" The visit lasted an hour or more.
When Miss Ellwood came to the door with
her visitor Andres said: "I'll keep my pledge

Frank was ridden down by tall cavalry
man in gray. He jumped for his life to reach
the left Of the rider-the sweep Of the long
old fashioned sword was not so apt to reach
him there. As he jumped he gave the horse a
sharp wound in the breast, for that was half
the battle. The frantic animal dreaded the
bayonet more than his riders spur. Of for
an instant, then, goaded savagely, he came
on; the saber was raised for a sweeping blow,
the bayonet for parry thrust; the last light
of day flashed upon the riders face.
'My God, it is Jimr'
And the bayonet was drawn back. But it
was too late for the rider to arrest his arm,
even had he known, as he did not-the boy of
16 changes much more rapidly in three years
than the man Of %.
Cr-a-s-s-hl The point of the heavy saber
crushed through the infantry cap and into the
skull At the same instant the bullet of an
other Federal entered under the sword arm,
and the brothers sank hfeless into heap to-
gether, soon to be drenched in common blood.
NJ, not quite lifeless. They fingered weary
months in the same hospital, renewed the
feelings of happier days while languishing on
adjacent cots, and in early May 1865, when
all was over, two war worn veterans together
sought the old Barrett farm house-the one
to be richly paid, handsomely pensioned and
held in yearly increasing honor among the
victors; the other with only wounds and
glory for his pay. 1t is the old, old story of
the survivors of civil war;
In the cemetery of the now f1ourishing
city Of Hopkinsville stands an imposing
marble shaft in honor of the Confederate
dead who lie there. Federal and Confeder-
ate soldiers joined in the dedication of it;
men of all political parties contributed to its
erection, and ministers of all denominations
blessed the work-for all the bitterness Of
the past is gone, and over all the land is a
deep and abiding peace. In the old neigh
borhood live two steady going farmers, ia
military known as ''the Barretts," who
are Uncle Frank and Uncle James to two
families of young people. Little ones gather
about them as they sit by the hearth on win
ter evenings and ask them to tell story
about the war;" they, and all their fellows,
talk of it with all the freedom that English
men would use in speaking of the Wars of
the Roses. and with not thousandth part of
the bitterness Irishmen feel over the rout at
the Boyne.

Of the outposts ended in the marriage of the
sergeant-now captain-with Eva Ellwood.
Capt. Henry Seyton, the Virginian, left the
