WHO CHEERED JACKSON
Disbelief in the Statement that Yankee
Prisoners Did at Harper's Ferry.


Prisoners Did at Harper's Ferry.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l have
read with interest the article of ex-Confed-
crate Gen. d. FL. Hill, in the February 1884
Century regarding Stonewall Jackson, where
in he states: The Federal prisoners always
expressed great desire to see him, and
sometimes loudly cheered him. This was
particularly the case at Harper's Ferry,
when the whole line of 1000 prisoners
greeted him with lusty shouts"
The March (1S94) Review Of Reuieos also
states that "his soldiers idolized Jackson,
and II 900 prisoners cheered him like mad
at Harper's Ferry"
The writer was present in the ranks of the
111th n. Y. Oct. Is, 1862, the day of our
surrender. Our regiment had stacked arihs,
and the 1st S. c. marched up on Bolivar
Nights, near Harper's Ferry, where we had
been both in camp and line-ofbattle previ-
Gus to our surrender, and having halted, we
began talking with our captors. A General
with his staff rode by, and upon inquiry we
ascertained it was the noted Stonewall Jack
son.
Not one cheer was given by us prisoners
within sight or hearing. Why should we
cheer a rebel General? We had no regard
for Jackson that could call from US COM
mendation of his acts or bis actions Nay,
verify, the victims of that surrender felt no
inclination to cheer even a successful rebel
leader, as evidenced by those Identical men
thereafter at Gettysburg and on many other
hard-fought battlefields, or in a Southern
prison, amidst the tortures of an Anderson
vile or Salisbury, when freedom was offered
the starving boys in blue land Indignantly
rejected) by simply putting on the gray.
Cheers for Stonewall Jackson from Fed
eral soldier? l deny the accusation. While
we did respect him by reason of his successes
and our defeats at his hands, at the same time
we detested him, and deplored the fact that
man of such eminent Christian virtues,
pure personal character and great military
genius should so debase himself as to give
his all to destroy the Union and establish a
nation whose cornerstone should be per-
petual slavery of part of the human race.
Inasmuch as such high authority has given
currency to this apocryphal occurrence on
the authority of Gen. ID. III. Hill, calling in
question the loyalty of these unfortunate
victims of Col. Miles's treason or inability,
the writer calls for evidence indicating our
honor as soldiers of the Union army of 1862
Did any Federal soldier at the Harper's
Ferry surrender of Oct. Is, 1862, cheer Stone
wall Jackson? If so, give the company,
regiment or battery.-A PRIVATE, 111th
n. Y.

An Incorrect Table.

Andrew Carnegie was recently comment
ing to group of friends upon the depression
of business in general, touching particularly
upon how the mills of the country have been
affected.

he remarked, that 10 mills make a cent.
and 10 cents dime; but 1 don't believe
that 10 mills in the United States have made
