"Don't leave me, Csptainl a0h,4
don't leave me words that came
to me with an agonized shrek from
a bleeding and dying Confederate
soldier on the evening Of the great
battle Of Malvern Hill, July !, 1852.
He, q mere youth of II years, lay
10 heap, gasping for the breath
which was fast leaving him, along
with the rays of sunlight. on that
sad and memorable day. I, for
whom that piteous cry was meant,
was a staff officer of the brigade
to which the Louisiana regiment,
the soldier boys regiment, was at
tached.
Well mounted. / was galloping
back across that bloody field to re-
port the duty / had performed,
when suddenly arrested in my course
by the voice of despair and woe.
coning from my stricken comrade.
Fhe day was fast passing away into
darkness. q darkness that seemed
to ensbroud this valley of death.
The terrific cannonading OH both
sides that had lasted for hours from
the surrounding hills Malvern Hill
being the central point Of attack
by the Confederates) was supple
mented by the booming of artillery
and. bursting of shells from the
gunboats on the adjacent James
River.
Nature seemed to revolt at this
scene of-blood and carnage. Thun-
der andlightning and an avalanche
OF ram came in quick succession
with such great force as to cause
the stoutest heart to quake. This
great battle vas the seventh days
fight to capture the City Of Rich
mond 1t was not an ordinary
battle, but q demons fight, and the
final tncbuntef between those two
giants of war, Robert E. Lee and
George B. Mcclellan. 1t gave the
laurels of victory to the Southern
chieftsin, believed with the tears of
broken hearts.
Without stepping to consider
what /, alone, could do for the dy-
ing youth, amidst the chaos and
increasing darkness of the night
that prevailed, I turned back and
dismounted, to keep lonely vigil
with the dead. My horse, which.
strange to say, had seemed frenzied
with fear, became quiet and tracta-
BILE, as though he knew there was
safety with his master. l called the
boy, who had swooned away from
loss of blood, and was glad to know
he was not dead. Giving him the
bride OF my horse to hold, l tore
the sash from around my waist to
bandage his torn and bleeding limb.
The boy was praying and called
down Gods blessing on me. His
petition to Heaven seemed to be
heard. The storm of wind and rain
although still high, was abating.
Naught but the mornful wall of the
wind through the surrounding for
est could now be heard. The great
armies that had SO lately confronted
each other in battle array had seem.
ingly vanished from the scene. ]
was alone on a battlefield with the
dead. Wet and dripping. with the
chill ofnight upon me, waited for
morning-and he, too, the brave
soldier boy, was waiting for morn.
ing. Oh, God, will it ever come?
He clasped my hand with hope
and confidence. and seemed to b.
happy and without pain. / believed
he had gone TO sleep. Morning
came, and he was still asleep
asleep to wake no more.-Dawson

characteristic OF the Legislature OF the
1897 just as the only other Legislature
they have controlled in the history Of the
State--that OF 1868 '69-was noted for
it's wholesale thefts Of millions, drunken
debauchery, and disgrace OF the State.
Let us examine the membership OF the
Legislature to prove this assertion. In
the Senate there were elected "a men
who claimed to be Populists; 10 Repub-
icans; and Z Democrats. In the House
there were --- Republicans; ---- Popu-
lists. and -- Democrats. AS the Demo
Gratis and Populists both favoring the
free coinage of silver had a clear ma
iority on Joint ballot, as we'll as in both
Houses, they could easily have elected
some honorable silver Democrat or Pop
ulist to the United States Senate. We
viii put it stronger: they could easily
have elected Popuist. Why was it not
done? Because certain men, elected rs
Populists, were Republicans, and pre-
ferred to elect Mark Hanna's North Car
