With the coming 9th and 18th of
April will occur the thirty-third an
niversary of one of the hottest and
most bitterly contested battles of
the entire late war between the
States.
If the lives of 10, 900 brave I'm
ion soldiers-if the lives of over
10, 900 of heroes in the gray, count
for aught to the patriotic men of
both North and South, then the
memories of these gallant men who
fell will be perpetuated in monu-
ments of marble, of granite and of
iron upon the ground whereon they
gave up their lives Qet us do both
sides the justice to believe), battling
for what they thought was right,
for their country's cause, Of the
widows, of the orphans, of the par
ants, or other dependent relations OF
the dead soldiers, let us trust that
God has wiped away all tears of sor
SOW and has provided way fol
them.
When led by that grand soldier,
Albert Sydney Johnson, the Con
federates broke camp and left then
intrenchments at Corinth, on the
morning of April 6, 1862, the SUI
was by obscured clouds, a dull, miser
able rain was falling, as though th'
heavens were weeping for those
poor men who were fated so soon t.
Weld mp their lives.

| Meeting and engaging with tn,
Federal forces, the Confederate
drove them back to little lonely
log church, called the Shiloh
Church, situated in woods o.
black jack oak timber. Here, in ;
sunken road, the Federal division
under General Hurlburt took
strongly defended position ant
stubbornly contested it, and fol
over FIVE hours the Confederates un
der Gen. Bragg's orders, charged
and recharged the Federal position
and, oh, the pity of it. The aw-
full misery of this futile and fearful
sacrifice of the noblest men that
southern sun ever shone under.
Upon the authority of Capt. Will
liam III. Mcdaniel, of Forrest CITY,
who was in command of a company
of the Thirteenth Arkansas, and
was wounded six times during the
war, we learn that all in front of
the Federal position the ground
was literally paved with gun wads,
and that many and many of the
trees were so cut by the awful fire
of countless mimic balls that they
leaned over, and some few were
completely gnawed and cut off by
such continuous firing, and South
ern soldiers lay in wide rows like
grain before the reaper. And this
is war. We forgot and overlooked
the weary marches through mud
and rain, the scanty clothing, the
tattered shoes, the empty stomachs,
and think of the actual conflict, the
battle. We lose sight of the noble
qualities of patience, perseverance
and obedience to orders, and look
only to the heroic side of war.
When at last, General John
son rode up from another por-
ton of the field, fired by enthusiasm,
his face shining like a veritable god
of war, he rode down the front of
the line, and exclaiming, ''Men l
will lead your he took off his hat
and reverently added the words,
''and God be with us till we meet
again" But Albert Sydney John
son never met them again. During
the awful bayonet charge that en-
sued, he was MORALLY wounded and
carried from the field. The loss of
this grand and inspired leader
was kept a secret from other por-
lions of the army until Beauregard
assumed full command. Giving up
his life at such an early period of
the war, who knows what great pos
sibilities for the future were crush
ed, the glowing hopes that were de
stroyed. Oh, great Kentucky, no
tears for thy fallen son; no grief
that he has died, but rather tears
and rejoicing that such a hero has
lived. Born in Kentucky, his par
ents were out and out east Yankees,
from Massachusetts. But we'll
could Albert Sydney Johnson ex-
claim as Ruth of Bible fame, E'Thy
people shall be my people and thy |
God shall be my God" Sleep, All
bert Sydney, sleep on; the rain falls
unheeded upon thy tomb and the
Iowly graves of our many thousands
of brave soldiers. The flowers
that we scatter upon these graves
are to them scentless; the tears of |
our affection can awaken no answer
ing thrill.

Whiteville or its vicinity who ia
vors the investigation, we have not
heard him so express himself, and
they are not all gold bugs by any
means. As it is not the intention

recall the good times spent beneath |

of a more classic order, as it was
often the resort of the young peo-
pie for the dance, which was so pop |
ular in those days. For years, it
has had the mark ''unsafe" upon its
face, and has not been occupied, ex-
cept by bats and owls and as place

A Serious Question.
All American Republics Should Co.
Operate.

To the Editor of The Evening STAR
The aggressive temper and practice of
Great Britain is of so piratical kind that
she is offensive to all other nations. The
American doctrine enunciated by Presi-
delt Monroe is not confined to the United
States. Every American state is in accord
herewith. Therefore, it is most respect
fully suggested that our forthcoming legis-
lation should take the form of an American
joint commission in the event of any Amer
lean state or all of them, desiring to par
tcipate in the delimitation of boundary
between the British province of Guiana
and the Independent republic Of Venezuela,
so far as an investigation is concerned.
Otherwise, British diplomacy may dis
member the present union of interest and
feeling and cause complications not now
foreseen. Our sister republics on this side
the Atlantic are sensitive, and should be t
once recognized as participating in this
vital question, not only as to the present
contention, but in all future emergencies
This will exclude the idea of a protec to-
rate with responsibility, and evidence an
alliance between American nations. In the
event of war, ii will insure a military and
naval corporation Of a formidable char
actef. Should peace be the result. or the
outcome, the future would be assured. The
accommodation of legislatio to this view
would, SO far from delaying. expedite the
measure, and increase the prospect of a
peaceful solution r. S. THARIN.

1870 he became connected with the Second
National Bank, and afterward became its
teller. From early days Mr.. Wellington
has been connected with political affairs.
He was for many years treasurer OF Allie
gany county. He was delegate to the ma
tional convention of 1884 and 1883. In 1889
he received very fiatterng vote in Mary
land as a candidate for controller, and
afterwards was appointed subtreasurer at
Baltimore by President Harrison. In 1892
he was a candidate for Congress. but was
defeated In 1894, however. he was elected
to the House by over 5000 plurality Mr..
Wellington was main factor in the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Lowrdes for governor of
Maryland and chairman of the state
committee it was to very large extent
bis management and skill that secured re-
publican success for the state ticket. The
present Maryland Legislature elects a Sic
CeSSor to Senator Gibson, and the leading
candidate for the place is Mr.. George L.
Wellington. From all accounts 1t Is more
than likely that Mr.. Wellington, after serv-
ing one term in the House, will step into
