At the foot of the hill, on the other

his side stood his aide-de-camp in shirt

The Atlanta Constitution has made a
bitter attack on Gen. Palmer, COM
mander.in-chief OF the q. A. r., con-
corning the rebel flags displayed Mt the
unwilling of Grady's monument in
Atlanta.
When Gen. Lee surrendered to Gen.
Grant at AppomattoX, the latter
would not accept Gen. Lees
sword, and he included with
in that surrender provision
that all the Rebel officers should retain
their side-arms. That courtesy Of Gen.
Grant expressed exactly the feeling of
the great generous heart of the North
toward the defeated and conquered
South. Southern poets have written
ballads and Southern women have sung
of the sword Of Robert Lee, This Is
all as it should be. But when Gen. Lee
surrendered To Gen. Grant there was no
provision made that the flag Of slavery
and secession should ever be retained,
either as souvenir or standard. II
represented something that cost this
country a million Of men and many
millions of money, and at Appomattox
it's bloody folds should have been furled
| forever. War relic or no war relic, Ii
should never float over American soil.
All the attempted show OF slushy sen.
timentalism INDUCED in by such rabid
papers Us the Constitution, spiced with
bitter spleen, will pass by such patriots
as Gen. Palmer like the idle VIVID which
he fears not.-Cairo Advertiser.

IN a sense the modern novelists
have heavy responsibility TO the
public. They secure the readers con-
fidence and trust and if they choose
they can completely gull cheat and
bamboozle him with false impression
or an untrue painting. It would be a

our novelists are toting fair with

Swiftly have sped the peaceful years
Since the boys that wore the blue
Came proudly home victorious,
Old friendships to renew.
When they marched away 10 battle
In their youth and prime were they;
Now we notice when they gather
That the boys are turning gray.
Some indeed whose locks are whitened.
Resting like q silver crown
On the heads Of those we honor,
Though not known OF great renown;
For when called TO save our country,
Hero-like they marched away,
And the soldier life and prisons
Caused them sooner to turn gray,
Wen they fought our country's battles,
And 70 that long, stubborn strife
They. the brave, the hero-hearted,
Gave the best years Of their life
Gave them freely. self not needing.
But now, as pass the years away,
HardshipS Of the past are telling
Early the boys are turning gray.
Turning gray. Now past the summit
March they down the slope, meanwhile,
Every year some feet grow weary
And drop out OF rank and nile,
One oy one they halt and wayer
Pause TO rest upon the way,
And pass TO Join departed comrades
In the land Of endless day.

9Th Wis. Iron Brigadel, Stronghurst,
H., notices that the veterans Of the
Western army are active in writing OF
their work, which they had plenty Of,
but the Army 81 the Potomac, with the
exception Of the 'Cannoncer, has very
little said about IL, and what is written
is by members Of the Second, Sixth,
Ninth, and Eleventh Corps. A person
reading these articles would suppose
that they did all the work that was
done in that army. But the
writer has distinct recollection
that there was First Corps
which was grand one, which was
merged into that grand old corps called
Fifth commanded by that prince Of
Generals, G. H. Warren. He wonders
il the vets Of these corps are afraid TO
say anything, but presumcs not, as
there was nothing to be ashamed Of
as the records Of Antietam, Gettys-
burg, Charlottesville, Wilderness,
Cold Harbor, and many other fields
will show. The writer was but IS
years old when he joined the I'd Wis.
at Culpeper Courthouse in Dec. 1863,
and after the battle Of Cold Harbor his
regiment was merged into the 9Th Wis
and he was initiated into the reality Of
war, and staid with the procession un-
til the grand roundup April ., is65, at
