Confederate War Talk.
To the Editor Of The Times:


Through the kindness of friend I
have enjoyed real treat in reading the
war Talks OF Confederate Veterans"
by Mr.. G. S. Bernard. OF Petersburg.
To follow his diary and notebook a
very correct idea Of the mishaps. trials,
and hardships Ia the life Of a Southern
soldier can be obtained. Mr.. Bernard
preserves great many incidents ana
facts connected with his own command
which can be gotten in no other way.
OF such Is a true history Of the war for
Southern independence to be had. Every
old soldier has interesting and important
facts which have come under his own
observation. but the great trouble is
he keeps them. Mr.. Bernard is to be
commended for thus giving the interest
ing facts connected with his soldier life
TO the world.
The defense Of Petersburg by the old
men, the boys, and the women, all nom
combatants. shows the heroism Of our
Southern people when defending their
own homes, and adds another laurel TO
the brow OF the Cockade City.
The addresses delivered before A. p.
HM Camp OF Confederate Veterans are
a decided feature of the work. and are
intensely interesting. To enjoy the pleas
IRE OF going through one Of these War
Talks" is worth a great deal to an old
Reb
The book supplies just such a want as
has been long felt. and it Is very de-
sirable that others follow in the lead OF
Mr.. Bernard. TO repeat this IS the only
way in which true history OF the war
will be had. The reader OF this book Will
learn something of that fighting brigade
Mahones.
For this work Mr.. Bernard has the
sincere thanks OF f. NJ. PARKER,
Colonel Thirtieth North Carolina Regi-
ment.

As TO n Waterman.

The Committee on Streets ut Its last
meeting had good deal of discussion IN
regard to the question, whether or not
q Waterman should be placed at the
crossing OF the Chesapeake and OHIO ran
way. on Williamsburg avenue, in Fulton.
Several citizens living in that part or
the city thought il necessary that the
passers-by be oautiore ed by Waterman
whenever a train approached.
The representatives of the railroad com
panies claimed that no additional guards
at that point are necessary.
The committee finally decided TO visit
the spot in a body before any definite
action is taken. They will. therefore,
meet tomorrow morning at II o'clock at
the City Engineers Office and from there
proceed TO Williamsburg avenue.
