PASSING OF THE VETERANS.
How the Survivors Appeared mt the
Last Sales Day Mt Abbeville.

Last Sales Day Mt Abbeville.
Abbeville, S. c., is sometimes called the
cradle and the grave OF secession. 1t
was at Abbevile that the first resolu-
tons OF secession were adopted, and It
was there that the last formal meeting
of the Confederate Cabinet was held
Jefferson Davis. with his remaining ad-
herents, being then on his retreat into
Georgia, where he Was soon after cap
tured.
The Abbeville Press and Banner in It's
account OF the last sales day in that
county (ths first Monday in the MONTH,
makes the following reference to the old
Confederates OF Abbeville county:
THE old Confederate soldiers met at
Abbeville last sales day. the minutes OF
their meeting. as published elsewhere. ex-
plain the business that drew them here.
but their reduced numbers. and the evil
dences OF age which marked their faces
impressed the heart OF at beast one who
saw them.
''The contrast with former years Is
notable. Soon after the war our public
square on public days was filled with men
who lately. wore the gray, but now a
new generation has come on the scene.
and the ranks OF the old soldiers have
been thinned until they make UP only
small fraction OF the crowded square and
the busy marts.
Some good and valiant men came on
crutches: some came bending under the
infirmities OF years, and some came in a
well preserved condition. but all re-
minded us that We are passing away"

FOUND on THE FIELD.
A Greek Testament Presented by
Rev. DIR. Minnfgerode.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
A soldier OF the Fifty-ffth North Caro-
lima Infantry. while endeavoring to make
his escapa after the evacuation OF Fort
Peden. near Petersburg, Va. on the 18th
OF April, 1866. came upon square-shaped
caIf-covered knapsack, which had evident
ly been lost by some one who had pre-
coded him. He did not stop to examine
It's contents, but merely gave 1t yigor-
Gus kick by way OF emphasizing his con-
ternpt OF distractions in front and yelling
Olue-coatg In his rear. When the weight
Of his shoe resounded with wnack
against the side OF the unoffending KNAPP
sack It's fastened parted COM
many. and from It's inner compartment
there fell n neatly-bound copy OF what
ne supposed to lie a hymn-book. Hastily
transferring this 10 his pocket, he again
turned his attention TO the art OF sprint
ing. Fate was against him, however, for
he soon fell into the hands OF the enemy,
who at once put him with other prisoners
on hoard n vessel, and he was soon drop
ping down the Appomattox towards the
James. thence towards the Atlantic.
In due time he was tossing on the waves
OF the briny deep. Imagine, II you can,
kind reader, what disuay shook every
NDfe OF our uciO uGAhio Is fNSS'i
on which he was detained ploughed her
way through the surging billows, bearing
him he knew not where
He only knew that each hour he was
being carried further away from those
whom he loved, and from the only land
he had ever called home. With courage
high and hopes away below zero. he be-
thought himself OF me book.
He was actuated, no doubt, by the same
IMPULSE that caused Paul and Silas 10
sing hymns OF praise to God while con-
lined IN their gloomy prison cell. So he
brought the book from his pocket for the
purpose OF warbling a selection from
Watts, when. 10 his surprise. he found
that Il proved TO be Greek Testament
instead Of o hynn-book. as he had first
supposed. On the fy-leaf there appeared
the following words. H. T. Sharp. from
Rev. DR.. Minnigerode, December, 1852. "
on a blank leaf at the back Of the book
were the words, "H. T. sharp. Richmond.
Va"
Between the leaves OF the book he found
a tress Of beautiful blonde hair, which
was, no doubt, n uaemento from the loved
one Also. a narrow blue ribbon, which
served as book-mark.
The book is still in his possession, and
the hair and ribbon are still I'm the places
they were I'm thirty-one years ago. The
undersigned had the pleasure of examin-
ing the book only few days ago.
Yours truly. T. G.. PARKER.
