OF the eventful and stirring scenes
wrapped in a four years struggles,
unparalleled for heroism, gallantry and
devotion to duty, war that cost mil
lions and brought grief and ruin to
thousands of homes, two great leaders
of armies, General Joseph E. Johnston
and General G.. I. Beauregard survive.
The great commanders of the Federal
hosts on land and sea have passed from
the active scenes of life. The brave
men on both sides who faced the storm
of deadly missiles are passing away,
and the men that wore the blue and
the men that wore the gray will soon
be reduced to corporal's guard.
Have tile present generation now
growing to manhood ever thought
that in few years every one of the
mighty afh-as marshalled to battle un-
der Lee, Johnstone, Beauregard and
Hood; under Grant, Sherman, Sher-
idan, Mcclellan, and Meade, shall
have passed away for ever? The
Great Leyeler respects no rank or
position, and is alike deaf to the en-
treaties Of the wealthy and powerful
and to the pleadings of the poor. In
the grave the humble private, who ex-
perienced the hardships and privations
of war, is the equal of the man who led
him in the conflict. All must fall and
share the common end.-Sbreveport
