In our issue of last week we copied
from the Confederate War Journal
several anecdotes of the war under the
heading "Humors of the Campfire"
Through the oversight of the typesetter
and proof reader one of these stories
was made to begin "Colonel Brown
low, q ranking Colonel of the Con-
f~ederacy" etc., and then a good deal
of fun is poked at Col. Brownlow not
at all complimentary to that imagin-
airy parsonage. The real or mythical
person referred to in the story was not
q Col. Brownlow, but was a Col. Blow
Blow. There was no Col. Brownlow
in the Confederate army. If there had
been and he had deported himself as
did those of the name in the Union
army there would have been no story
told at his expense.

IT is charged that delegates to the
late State Convention secured railroad
transportation under volunteer pledges
to support a certain gentleman, and
failed to keep their pledges. The trans.
p%ortation it is said consisted of passes
to Chattanooga, and tickets from there
to Nashville and return. 1t is bad
enough to 20 back on a friend who
can secure a pass, but ten fold worse
to use a ticket bought with his money,
and then forsake him.

ACCORDING to the official report for
the year ended June 80, 1894, the exports
from Southern ports amounted to $780,
1860 as against $271, 1904 for the
previous year. This increase of over
1874, 900, 900 is directly attributable to
the growth of industries and the gen.
eral extension of business IN the South,
and that section has reason to be much
pleased with such an admirable and
significant showing.

Renaissance of the War.

The death of Sergeant Brownell,
once known as the "Avenger of Els
WORTH" will recall to the old soldier,
and to the old citizen, for that matter,
The early days of the war when many
people became all at once warlike, and
were yet so far from being military.
AT that time the comm ent made about
the British officers in a battle in the low
countries that they "fought with their
usual ignorance of war and contempt of
DEATH" was quite true of Americans
A foolhardy confederate sympathizer
name d Jackson kept a confederate flag
flying in town occupied by the Union
soldiers (something he won not have
done later, and young Union officer
named Ellsworth came along, rushed
into the house and up to the roof,
seized the flag and was bringing it
down, when the wild Jackson shot him
and was himself killed by Sergeant
Brownell. The whole country re-
sounded with the incident. Jackson,
who threw his life away, was hailed as
a confederate hero; Ellsworth was
placed on high as hero of the Union;
yet there was a plentiful lack of COM
mon military sense in the whole event.
Later, when all hands had learned
something of the serious, the very Sc
rious business of war, supposing that
Jackson had been foolish enough to
raise his flag, corporal and file of
men would have been sent around to
take Mr.. Jackson and his flag to head
quarters, and that would have been the
end of it. Ellsworth would have lived
to serve his country in the field, to die,
perhaps, but at the head of the regi-
ment, instead of being shot down in
stairway. But there was much to
learn, and there was a friChtful loss of
life and treasure just from mere valor-
GUS and laundering ignorance.-St.

A Story of General Grant.

in which my regiment lost heavily in

ment. We we're placed under guard at
the rear, and all were searched. l had
in my pUcketbook my Masonic demit
Next morning the guard came and told
me that was wanted at General Grants
headquarters. l thought my time to die
had surely come, and that | would not
see Sallie and the children any more.
l was cure the general was going to
have me shot. | was the only one OF
our boys who was wanted at the head
quarters, and the guard told me to
move on. / soon reached the tent and
was told to go inside. l was frightened
almost to death. My teeth ratified, my
knees shook, and the perspiration was
streaming from my face, although
the day was cold. However, entered

then asked me if was Mason, and l
soon convinced him of that. He then
went TO the table and wrote my parole,
gave me some money, and told me to

Corporal Whiteley's Career.

Clay Whiteley of Indianapolis, Ind,
was corporal of the squad detailed to
burn General Stonewall Jackson's resi-
dence at Lexington, Va, in June, 1864,
and at the same time other detach-
ments performed similar service for
the military institute and Governor
Letcher's magnificent mansion. While
the Jackson home was burning, Cor
poral Wbiteley bethought himself to
save some relic, and he ran into the
library, which was even then in flames,
and took out family Bible, which had
been presented to Jackson by a sister.
This relic he preserved until recently,
when he wrote to the editor of the
Southern Planter of Richmond, request
ing Mrs. Jackson's address, inclosing a
wish to return the relic to her keeping.
Recently he received a very kindly
note from the widow of the confederate
general, expressing the most earnest
solicitude for a return of the souvenir,
and the book was at once forwarded to
her by express. Corporal Whitley re-
ports, says an Indianapolis special, that
when he marched his squad to the
home of Jackson he found the family
at dinner. AS he was acting under
strict orders, he could give them but
one hour in which to prepare for re-
moval, and it has always been a matter
of regret that he was detailed for such
unpleasant duty, although he recog-
nizes that it was one of the exigencies of
war from which there was no escape.

good work.
At the Brown wharf fire in February.
1890, this boat saved the Yacht Club
House, fact which members of the
club will verify, and effectually prevent
ed the fire from extending further in
that direction.
In June, 1891, she filed the tanks at
