so aphically reverted to. We marched
10 or u miles up the Apponattox river
with bayonets fixed, not knowing
where the enemy would strike US,
whether in front, on the flank or rear.
But We surrendered-sad, sad time.
Gloom and dependency had full sway.
We were overpowered, not whipped.
How sad. Several days after the sur
render, we were tired, worn out with
fatigue, exhausted with hunger, we
came 10 a little place called Leeksville.
Here 1 visited seven different places,
getting little something to eat at
each before I got Z suficiency. Then
YEARLY aud sadly and slowly I plod-
ded along towards home, and finally
the boy soldier reached his home where
he had left his loved ones. There was
joy in that old home on that day.
: The president then adjourned the
meeting, after which Capt. Banks re-
quested to make a few observations,
which he Gid in an appropriate map
ner, appealing to the people to lay aside
al sectional hate and passions. He said
that by an arbitrament of arms these
sectional issues were forever settled,
and that now this great country, from
the frozen regions Of the North to the
Sunny South, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, is ours. That we each individ-
ually have part and parcel in the well
fare Of this great Republic, and that
the only way to become truly great
and prosperous people and nation, uni
ted not only in name, but in one grand
movement for the upbuilding Of our
common country. Thus passed the
pleasant and joyful occasion.

IN Explanation.

In last weeks Herald and News an
unfortunate error appeared: the omis-
sion of Mr.. Sligh's name in the list OF
Tiilman electors. AS I was response
BILE to a certain extent for the error, I
take pleasure in complying with Mr..
Aull's request that make statement
to the public in regard to the, matter,
as he has been wrongtully accused of
having purposely committed the blum
der for partisan effect. In thus deal
ing justly with Mr.. Aull it is necessary
to explain how the said error occurred,
because the majority of people don't
understand how such a mistake could
possibly get into well regulated and
first class newspaper. AS it SO hap
pesed, last week the editor did not
read the proof of that article by copy,
for the reason that he had entrusted
the preparation and composition en-
tirely with me, as he has frequently
done with other matter in the hurry
of the last moment on Tuesday after
noon, press day. The Office was par
ticularly busy on last Tuesday after
noon; Mr.. Rouseal was ia Virginia;
Mr.. Aull had been absent day or
two, and work was rapidly accumu-
Iating. We were all in the midst of
printing thousands of election tickets,
besides other jobs, and The Herald and
News and Lutheran Visitor, with Mr..
Miller evolving in his busy brain the
successful and artistic plan of sour
bulletin" board, which has given so
much satisfaction to all. Therefore,
in the unavoidable grand rush Mr..
Sligh's name, prominent as it is, was
uniDtentionally left out, and that is
al there is of it.
