The Rebel Ghost Dance at Richmond.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The wor-
ship Of Jeff Davis at Richmond lately was
one to be hated and despised by the truly
loyal people, and shows how deep-rooted
was the cause Of Secession and slavery
among the Southern whites, for Davis was
tyrant, and wilfuily starved the soldiers
of the Lost Cause; by his declarations
during the war made himself common
liar. His partiality kept the rich and his
personal favorites from being pressed into
the army.
AS proof of his lying qualities, he declared
before the final catastrophe to the lost
Cause"-when we had Grants army ready
to capture Lees army, and Sherman's army
ready to capture Johnson's-that the mill
tary status was all he could desire, and that
the Union people would be before the Sum-
mer solssice begging Of them for peace
which was more absurd and lying than any
of NapoleOn's bulletins. An eulogy On the
great generalship of Lee, and his honorable
character and services would have been well
enough from a people who were bettered
by their defeat, but are too stubborn and
ignorant to admit the results, and would be
glad OF the restoration of slavery yet--WH

ties, and / certainly hoped that the
threatened storm would blow over, as
had so often occurred before, after SINH
lar threats At our seminary the order of
exercises went along with the regularity
of the seasons. Once week had the
older cadets to practice reading, reeiting
and elocution, and noticed that their Sc
lections were from Calhoun, Yancey, and
other Southern speakers, all treating OF
the defense of their slaves and their home
institutions as the very highest duty of
the patriot. Among boys this was to
be expected; and among the members
of our Board, though most of them de-
claimed against politicians generally,
and especially Abolitionists, as pests,
yet there was a growing feeling that
danger was in the wind. | recall the
visit of young gentleman who had
been sent from jackson, by the Gov
ernor of Mississippi, to confer with Gov.
Moore, then on his plantation at Bayou
Robert, and who had come over to see
our college. He spoke to me openly of
SECESSION AS A FIXED FACT,
and that its details were only left open
for discussion. | also recall the visit of
some man who was said to be high
officer in the Order of " knights Of the
Golden Circle" of the existence of which
Order [ was even ignorant until ex-
planned to me by Maj. Smith and DR..
Clark. But in November, 1860, no
man ever approached me Extensively to
ascertain my views, or my proposed
course of action in case of secession
and no man in or out of authority ever
tried to induce me to take part IN steps
designed to lead toward disunion-
think my general opinions were well
known and understood, viz, that Sc
cession was treason, was war and that
In no event could the North and West
permit the Mississippi River to pass out
of their control. But some men at the
South actually supposed at the time
that the Northwestern States, in case Of
a disruption of the General Govern
ment, would be drawn in self-interest to
an alliance with the South. What ]

0So.Called Cavalry"

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Your edi-
torial reference to the proceedings of the
Confederate veterans at Richmond, Va, in
the issue of July 8, contained the statement
that they condemned the Encyclopedia Bri-
tannica, or words similar In meaning. My
curiosity was excited by your stalwart arti-
Gle, and I concluded to inquire for myself,
go / referred to Vol. XIV, and read the
article on War, by Col J. F. Maurice, Pro-
fessor Mil. Art, etc. Well, / am not at all
surprised that the Contederates criticize the
work. if all the articles are as unsOund in
statement and logic as the one / refer to.
Let me quote his language. so that the reader
may be able to Judge. The so-called cav
airy of the American Civil War" Phew! !!
We who served\ during this war, on both
sides, have been foolish enough to think we
were entitled to the name of cavalrymen.
The crush and clash, given and taken, which
made up our mutual experience, caused US
to think SO; but we should have consulted
this authority, then we would have been
saved from this mistake.
The record of our war does not enter into
his estimate of fact at all, as he again reasons:
In all periods since the invention OF firearms,
there has been q tendency, as improvement
in weapons has taken place, to attempt to-
put cavalry on lever, III poiuJ VI uIcdIuiS
with the infantry with which it has had to
contend Invariably, when that rare devel-
opment of armies, . great cavalry leader,
has arisen, he has swept away all attempts
| of the kind, and has employed the proper
weapon, the armeblanche,' sword or lance"
We very well remember how invincible was
the Michigan Brigade, who were armed with
the Spencer repeating rife. When they moved
up on the line and commenced firing some
| thing had to break. Gen. Custer, who COM
manded the brigade, had some renown rs a
leader, but no one ever heard of his desire
to remove from his brigade the repeating
rife In fact, the possession Of this weapon
made them Irresistible. But perhaps Custer
would not be accepted as sample Of that
rare development Of armies, cavalry
leader.n How would Gen. Sheridan do as a
pattern, under this head? But perhaps Col.
Maurice would stamp him as q so-called
leader.
If this is what our fellow Confederate
veterans are complaining about, don't you
think they are pretty near right in theil
conclusions, Mr. Editor? There are few
surviving "so-cslled" cavalrymen here ir
Philadelphia, and often we assemble for con
sultation and good fellowship, and it has
been suggested that the reading of thi
article at our next meeting might give US al
