DEATH OF MAJOR SCOTT.
ToUcHfyG SCENES IN TIE CLOSING
HOURS or HIS LIFE.
Followed to the Grave by "Old Bob Hill" n
Former Faithful slave-wth the Majors
Through the Thickest Of the Frsvs.

AMELIA c. H.. VA. April 3--Spe-
cIal.-Major Andrew Scott. of the Twen-
ty-third Virginia Infantry. died at his
home in this place on Thursday last
and was buried on yesterday. He was
true gentleman, an earnest Christian,
and no better soldier ever drew sword
In behalf of the Old Dominion.
To-day a friend related to me the fol-
lowing touching incident concerning the
Major and his old army servant, Bob
Hill. Bob was with him throughout the
war as cook. and ever since the close or
the conflict he has lived I'm this comrnu-
nifty. one Of the most highly respected
negroes in the county. never for mo-
ment forgetting mis- attachment for his
old master.
AT the secccd battle of Manassas Major
Scott was badly wounded, and Bob. tall,
muscular fellow, bore him In his arms
from the field of battle to the field hos
pital. where the surgeons informed him
that II was necessary to amputate MS
arm.
The Major protested. and begged that
his arm might be saved The surgeons
promised him they would put him under
the influence of chloroform, make
thorough examination OF the wound. and,
IL possible save it. They strapped him to
the table preparatory to the examination
and doubtless the intended amputation,
but just then the enemy drove our men
back, and amid the Undertaking. hail
of battle Bob Hill unstrapped his master
from the table. put him on his horse
and led him back. walking by his side
and holding the fainting soldier in his
saddle till they reached place of safe
~. He then got a surgeon to dress his
wounds, and soon thereafter succeeded
in getting him home.
The arm was never amputated, but ever
after by its mutilated appearance served
to mark the wounded soldier In any
crowd.
The Major often said that when a
battle came on Bob Hill always took his
musket and went in with the boys, shoot
ing as well and often as any OF them.
A few days before the Majors Death
this dusky "Uncle Toby" visited the sick
bed OF his old master and there they
fought their battles over again. AS they
recounted the thrilling war scenes Of
long ago, the tears OF the faithful Afri-
can mingled with the death dews upon
the brow of the dying Saxon soldier and
the incense Of that Offering TO friendship
will not be regretted. / ween, when 1t
reaches the altar on high, and if Bob ut
tered words like Uncle Toby's when told
that Corporal Trim was dying. we would
fain believe that the recording angel
might perform for him "A similar service.
At the burial Bob was given the place
Of honor and bore the tribute Of flowers
next 10 the coffin. placing them on it
when 10 was lowered into the grave.
Amongst the white people present, old
veterans and the younger generation. as
they watched the old nCgros unaffected
manifestations OF grief. there was not a
dry eye. and as his tell figure vanished
in the distance, the good will and admi-
ration Of all followed him to his humble
home, and there will ever abide.
