and it was at Fredericksburg that he
performed his browning act Of bravery.
All day after the battle of Fredericks-
burg a CALLING fire was kept up be-
tween Kershaw's Brigade Confederate
and Sykes Division Omitted States
army. The ground between the fam
GUS "stOne wall" and Sykes Division
was bridged by the wounded, dead and
dying, and from all the ranks of the
fallen men rose up the cry in agonized
tones, water Water" The Confed-
crate General sat upstairs in a room
in Stevens house when Sergeant
Kirkland burst into the room and asked
Indignantly:
General, can you do nothing for
those perishing men ?"
What do you mean ?"
"All day and night I have listened
to those men crying for water. I want
permission to give them water"
kirkland, it is sure death"
81 know 1t, but 1 am willing to risk
it..
The General took him by the hand
and said, while his voice trembIed with
emotion:
81 ought not to permit you to run
such a risk, but your motives are SO
noble [ cannot say no. May your God
be with you"
Thank you, sir. May show a white
handkerchief"
81 am sorry to refuse you, Kirkland,
but 1 cannot permit it.
All right, sir"
Kirkland ran down the stairs with a
smile lighting up his handsome face.
With what anxiety he was watched as
he stepped over the stone wall. How
their hearts beat quickly, and then
seemed to stop, and then beat harder
than ever! Oh, it was a grand,
glorious sight to watch that young
soldier on his Christ-il1e GRAND. He
reached the nearest wounded unhurt
Raising their heads, he poured the
life-giving fluid down their parched
and Turning thrOats, and covered
coats. Both sides now understood his
mission. Firing upon and around him
ceased, and for an hour and a half did
he minister to their needs, not only
relieving their thirst for the present
but providing for their returning thirst
by filling their empty canteens.
Such deeds should never die. They
should be emblazOned in letters of
gold upon the pages Of history. Poets
should embalm his noble act In IN
dying verse, painters reproduce the
scene upon their glowing canvas.
His deed should be sung at the cradle,
And told to the child on the knee
AS long as there lives a soldier
Who marched meath the flag Of Lee.

to love our enemies is godlike,

those who claim to nave been inmates
of the never to be forgotten prison pen
of AndersOnvilIe. There were never
ten men hung there, but we did hang
six men, on the 18th Of July, 1854, and
I tell you we did not ask one man to do
the hanging, for if there was any one
within tho stOckade that was opposed
to the hanging outside Of the candi-
dates themselves, they were men that
were in some way implicated IN the
same crimes for which we were hanging
those six.
We tried them by a court-martiaI,
the same as in the army, and found
those six guilty Of murder. We passed
sentence of death on them, and old
Wirz would not let US hang them for
fear our men in the North would retail
ate and hang six of their men. We of
the Jury that had tried the prisoners
wrote up a petition stating what the
condemned men had done and why we
had thus passed sentence on them.
We sent the petition through our lines
to Atlanta to General Sherman. He
signed the petition to hang them and
sent the papers back to us, and then
Wirz gave his consent and furnished

Bowers, if you were going to select a
commander for the cavalry arm of the
Potomac army, who would be the
man?' The Colonel mOdestly replied
that, knowing Fitzpatrick to be a man
of unquestioned bravery and dash, he
would choose him. Grant then turned
to General Rawlins and requested his
choice. Rawlins replied: We have
tried General Crook in many positions,
and have always found him the man
for the emergency and the place, and
he is a cavalry officer of much pru-
dence; he would be my choice Grant
smoked silently and apparently Uncon-
cerned for a few moments, and then
replied substantially Colonel, 7 am

New YORK, Dot. 8.-The newspaper cables

had declared he was about to perpetrate
anew his outrageous murders. The item
discloses the extraordinary fatality and CO.
incidence with the production Of the play
DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde. The play was
was first produced by Richard Mansfield,
about the time that the Whitechapel mur-
derer inaugurated his fendish work. Aft
erward, during Mansield's rest, the
slaughter was discontinued. Upon Mans
fields reopening with the play in London
the murders were frequent, and all London
was in a state of terror, which greatly mill
itated against the success of the play at the
Lyceum.
Chief Of Police Sir Charles Warren went
40 far as to call upon Mr.. Mansfield in
search of some explanation Of the mystery.
In Difference to public opinion Mr.. Mans-
field Withdrew the play. Now, again, when
Dr.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde is announced for
production at the Madison Square theatre
matinee, this city, the announcement comes
from tho Whitechapel murderer himself
that about that date he meditates perpo-
trating fresh crime.

secretary Of the board Of Indian commits
sioners, gave general survey of the fields
and referred especially to the happy change
in public sentiment in the last few years,
due largely to the influence emanating from
the Mohawk race. He said it was hard to
find an intelligent person expressing
doubt of the possibility or the practicable
ity of ciyilizing the Indian. A reformed
public sentiment has reached congress, and
it has resulted in legislation by which the
mode of civilization has been wonderfully
advanced. Rev. !. w. Breeland. of Hamp-
