mir. President. while thinking OF the
slaughter Of this girl, who attempted
10 save her father. there comes TO my
mind the recollection OF an incident
that occurred In Alabama during our
civil war. A colonel OF an Ohio regi-
ment was In command OF a district In
north Alabama. within whose lines the
family OF confederate officer resided.
Sometimes the bold rebel would slip
through the lines. undiscovered. and
visit his family. On one occasion he
was discovered by some one more de-
voted to the union than 10 his personal
welfare. Information was given 20 the
colonel commanding the district, who
took half dozen OF his men and under
cover OF night went TO the house to
capture his confederate foeman. Ar
irving az the house he rushed in the
door, pistol In hand. and found the
confederate soldier In the midst OF bis
family, his pistol and belt lying upon
the bureau aud within reach Of his
