Mississippi In the Ciyll War
! Col. NJ. D. L. Stephens writes as fol-
lows to the editor Of this department:

General John G. Fizer, who was msde
4rigadier-general before the close Of the

sat that you shah write a history Of the

entoenth Mississippi the first year, and tho
Ihlrty-frst Mississippi for the three last
years We should prepare and preserve
as far az possible a history of our State in

federatc States Army" compiled by the
war records Office at Washington place

Seventeenth Mississippi. We have no
doubt Colonel Stephens is correct as to
his promotion. A good many promo
tons were made in the last few months
Of the war, and officers had verbal no.
ticc thereof, but did not receive their
commissions, and if their commissions
were recorded at Richmond, the record
may not have been among the captured
archives
We hope Colonel Stephens will write
up sketches Of the Seventeenth and
Thirty-frst regiments and we suggest
that all survivors of Mississippi com
mands write up their rccollections, Civ
ing such incidents of Confederate army
life as will set forth the yalor and the
hard,hips of the Confederate soldier.
This would be appropriate work for the
Confederate camps. Every county
should have some organization for the
collection Of this data. Adams county
has published a pamphlet giving the
name of every soldierthat enlisted from
that county. At Liberty, Amite county
there is a monument on which is en-
graved the name Of every soldier from
Amitc who was killed in battle, and in
the chancery clerks office there is a
complete roll of every company. We
have in our possession the rolls of forty
companies of the three Mississippi
brigadcs in Virginia, giving the military
history Of every man from 1861 to March
/, 1865; 50 that sufficient data has al,
ready been collected and preserved tc
encourage an earnest and persistent
effort to accomplish what Colonel Ste
phons suggests We will say this in re-
Spouse to his suggestion, that we will
gladly be the custodian of all record,
and sketches that may be prepared, and
later on will put them in shape for
preservation in the archives of the State
or for publication.

States and are slowly but surely re-

them self-respect and self-reliance. Their inn

Cubans think, oppressed Cubans under Spanish

government is pledged to grant independence to
Cuba after the island has been pacifed, and
believe that the promise should be fulfilled just
as swiftly as we can in reason and justice. The

PEACE BEFORE POLICIES.
Schemes for Government Of the Philip
pines Until the Insurrection Is Over.

Washington, Oct. 3O.-There is only
one question before the government
now concerning the Philippines-that
is the putting down of the insurrec-
ton. Until that is accomplished the
president will not be inclined to give
much time to any other aspects of the
situation. This is, in effect, what Mr..
Kinley has told the members Of the
Philippine commission during his in
terviews with them. The president is
willing and even anxious that the COM
mission get to work on its report, but
for himself he is concerned chiefly in
crushing the rebellion. When that is
done he will be ready to consider sug-
gestions and policies for the govern
ment of the islands.
