EDITOR HIGHLAND RECORDER:


In a recent number Of the REooR-
DER, whose weekly visits to my
home are greatly priced, there was
a report Of a meeting Of some Of
the teachers of schools in Highland
county in which Barnes History Of
the United States is declared to be
superior to Holmes History. A
good history Of The United States
for use ia schools, and in families is
much needed, none Of the current
books are entirely satisfactory. No
doubt Barnes History, as to its
general make up its arrange
mcnt Of matter &c. is superior to
Holmes, bat it has one defect which
ought to make the teachers Of ir-
ginia youths think well before
adopting it as text book. The
narrative Of the war period, 1861
to 1865, is not only defective, but
| in particulars untrue.
If any one thinks that speak at
random in this regard let him COM
pare the account Of the war with
the statements Of men who were
leaders Of the Southern armies and
sharers in the perils OF these sad
but splendid days Of our history.
My love for my country and in
terest in whatever pertains to her
welfare is my excuse for writil g.
No more important duty rests upon
us Of the present generation than
to see that our children learn the
truth concerning the deeds Of our
fathers.

CORRESPONDENCE.
MEMORIES OF THEBLUEAND
THE GRAY.

As matter OF interest TO the
surviving soldiers OF the late war
more especially the survivors Of The
memorial battle which took place
on top Of the Allegheny mountain
on the thirteenth day OF Dec. 1861,
b. consent we publish below two
letters from ex-Federal soldiers re-
ceiyed By W. ". Benson Of this
county, the tons OF which letters
give evidence, that time, has accom-
plished much, in obliterating cd
.animosities which existed between
those who wore the gray and those
who wore the blue i'll the great
struggle.
MT. ETNA. IND, Oct 17th 1893.
w. w. BENSON,
Dear Sir and Fellow Soldier: -
Your second letter was received
in due time and was read with
pleasure and | should have answer
ed sooner but have been putting
off from time to time until the
present. | allowed yonr last letter
to be published in orr county pa
per as a rare instance Of one soldier
finding a chance acquaintance Of a
few days among Gj millions Of pes
pie after lapse Of thirty-two years.
It was read with interest by many
of the ex-Soldiers Of this county.
Well [ was not able to attend
our Regimental Reunion at Indian
apolis on account Of business en-
gagement at home, but learn that
the boys had a grand time there,
and [ will not be able this year to
make the visit to your county that
I spoke Of in my last letter.
| mailed to you copy Of blue
and Gray" sometime ago, in which
you will find what should be the
true sentiment between those who
wore the Blue and those who wore
the Gray.
There memories of the war that
are to me more like a dream Oh
nightmare than actual experiences
while others are fresh and vivid and
seem as though but short time
ago. Were you among the forces
that captured some Of our men On
the Shenandoah above Luray in
the Summer Of 1852? | think
there is where Big jim and Bill
Rinan must have been captured as
as our regiment was net actively
engaged at the battle Of Port Re
public though we were there as ;
reserve.
| still have hopes Of meeting yor
in the future and visiting some o.
the old battle fields of Va. if MY
health permits but | am past sixty
years Of age now, in my sixty-frst
year and it will be no great while
until you and | will be
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgement day,
Urder the roses the Blue,
Under the lilies the Gray"
and our experiences will be history
instead of memories.
Hoping your wife may have re-
gained her health and yourself anc
family enjoying yourselves, | vii
close for this time hoping you vii
continue to write to me as often as
convenient. Yours Truly,
A r. LARGE.
