Stole His Theater.

Sol Smith Russell. in his less prosperous
days, was one of the Berger family of bell
ringers, says the New York World. The
Civil War was being waged and the COM
pany was travelling in the localities in
which the troops We're stationed, giving oc-
casional performances, of which the sol
diers were the chief patrons.
THAT was the time l built my first and
only theater," said Mr.. RUSSELL in CONVEX
sation with some friends at the Players
Club. 1T happened in this way
There was a big body of troops-1000o,
perhaps-stationed in Virginia, and we de-
cided to give some entertainments outside
of their camp. They needed amusement
and, of course, we wanted their money.
But there was no Iheater handy. Every
building that was not private residence
was used as a military office. A saw-mill
was located nearby, however, and l had
carted to the spot where we decided to
erect the building enough rough lumber
to make respectable shanty and a good
auditorium. We worked hard and by
night had the side walls up and the roof
half covered Then we retired
The next morning we went back, and
to our amazement, not sign of the shanty
was to be found. There were several grin
ming soldiers around, though, but they said
they hadn't seen any one carrying the
building away.
There Was nothing to do but order more
lumber. We worked hard, every one of
Gs, and by evening We had the material
on the ground again. 1t was raining hard,
and We went up to town to spend the night
the hoe,
Next morning We came back to put up
the 'theater.' Again we We're amazed.
There wasn't a board, not even so much
as chip in sight, but there was a we'll
beaten path tnat led over to the soldiers
camp. We tried to find our lumber, but
no one seemed TO know anything about il.
"A few weeks later l heard two officers
discussing the camps. 'CoE IS regl-
ment,' one of them said appears to have
settled down for the summer. There isn't
tent that hasn't a wood floor in it,
Il have Often sympathized with those
poor soldiers They missed a splendid per
foImance."

THE FIRST REUNIoN.

The first meeting of the Georgia d.
vision of the United Confederate Veter-
ans will begin this morning in this city.
1t is peculiarly appropriate that the
first reunion of Georgia Confederate
Veterans should take place in Savannah.
because 1t was here that they assembled
to assert the rights of the stale and pro
tect 1t from invasion which threatened il
from the sea. From the capture of Fort
Pulaski to her evacuation by her little
army Savannah was constantly in a state
of siege, Notwithstanding the fact that
her defenders were confronted by an
army of ten times their number.
A fine of forts and batteries extending
on the north from Red Ruff, S. c., to
Fort McAllister on the Ogeechee river.
manned by Confederates protected Savan-
nah from the constant demonstrations and
attacks of the enemy. From her gar
rison were sent Lawton's brigade that
formed a part of Stonewan Jackson's
corps, and other troops to help the army
Of Northern Virginia, and Gen. Mercer's
brigade to reinforce Johnstons army In
North Georgia. 1t was the men from Sa-
vannah that succored the little army in
Florida and helped to win the battle Of
Ofustce, ard that were among the heroes
who held Fort Wagner in CharlSson
Harbor and fought at Grahamviue, dion
ey HID S. C. From the Potomac to the
Rio Grande and around Richmond
TO Vicksburg, Nashville and Atlanta
the Confederate soldiers who were
enlisted in Savannah stood by and
fell by the Stars and Bars and
the Southern Cross. The veterans
who visit Savannah on this happy oc-
casion tread on historic ground. where
soldiers from the days of Oglethorpe until
the present time have defended the honor
and maintained the integrity of the colony
and the commonwealth Of Georg. a.
That the welcome of these veterans will
be wanting in nothing will be fully demon
strated before the reunion is over.

DEATH OF THE VICE pnEsIDENT

The country has suffered a great boss in
the death of Vice President Hobart. AL
though the people knew very little OF him
except through the newspapers, there was
a very strong feeling of confidence in him
and respect for him throughout the coun-
try. 1t was known in every part of every
state that the Vice President was we'll
liked in the Senate, both by Democrats
and Republicans, that he was a man of
ability, and that he was Just in his rul-
ings and courteous to senator's and Senate
employees.
There have been few If any, Vice Pres
idents more popular than he was, and
there never was one that did more to sus-
tain the dignity and Importance of the vice
presidential Office. Before his nomination
he was very little known outside of the
circle of men in New York and New Jer-
sey with whom he had business relations
He had not been presiding officer of the
Senate hong, however, before IL was admit
ted by the members of that body that he
was fully qualified TO discharge the duties
of his position. He made his influence felt.
He and his family were particularly
prominent in the social life of the ma
tional capital 1t is probable that he did
far more in the way of entertaining than
the President. He seemed determined TO
make the Office of Vice President of more
Importance than it had been under previ-
Gus administrations, and there is no ques-
ton that he succeeded.
He will be missed greatly in Washing
ton. He had many close friends there as
well as elsewhere, and his death will he
sincerely mourned.

A Time-stninea oIippine.

During the siege Of Petersburg, Va.
there was a severe combat at Hatcher 8
Run. resisting one Of Grants attacks on
Lees right flank.
Brig. Gen. John Pegram was killed and
Brig. Gen. Sorrell was. for some time,
thought to be mortally wounded.
The action took place on Feb. s. 1865 A
time stained clipping from the New York
Herald, few days later, gives Sketches
OF the Dead Rebel Generals" with some
detail, indicating considerable acquaint-
ance with the Confederate personnel.
We print what II had to say of our
townsman who still with US. is thus per-
nitted to read his own obituary from the
Heralds columns:
"BRIGADIER GENERAL G. NJ. SOR-
REL.
1.-THE rebel Gen. Sorrel, reported seri-
ously wounded in the battle on Hatchers
Run, has been permitted to enjoy his rank
but a short time. He has been but lately
appointed to the rank and assigned to
duty
Gen. Sorrell was a native of Georgia,
and, at the commencement Of the war, was
a teller In the Central Railroad Bank in
Savannah. He had no military education.
To his established character as a quiet,
taciturn business man and accountant and
to some influence from an excessive family
to which he belongs, he owed his appoint
ment on the staff of Gen. Longstreet at
the beginning of the war. He served in
the capacity of assistant adjutant general
to Gen. Longstreet, at Bull Run, July q,
1861, was wounded at Antietam Sept. II,
1862 and has since followed the varied
fortunes of Longstreet He has been adj
vanced from a lieutenancy to lieutenant
colonelcy in the adjutant generals de-
partment of the rebel army.
During the battle of the wilderness,
fought in May. Lieut.. Col. Sorreu display
ed great gallantry and evinced much abil-
ity In directing and managing division
whose commander had fallen; and Of
which he was placed in command by Long
street. Gems Lee and Longstreet awarded
him high praise for his conduct, and rec
commended him for promotion. He was in
consequence appointed brigadier general
Nov. /, 1864, and assigned to the command
OF the brigade formerly commanded by
Gen. Wright In relieving him from duty
as his assistant adjutant general, Gen.
Longstreet paid the folloying compliment
to young Sorrell
General Order No. 5-Headquarters
First Army Corps, Nov. 4, 1854: Lieut.
Col. G. NJ. Sorrell, assistant adjutant gen.
eral having been promoted to the rank of
brgadier general, and assigned to the
command of brigade in the Third
Corps, is relieved from duty as
assistant adjutant general of this corps
The loss of this officer to the First Corps,
with which he has been so permanently
connected since its organization, will be
severely felt. Distinguished alike for gal
lantry in the field and for energy and skill
in the administration of his department
his value cannot be over-estimated. He
will carry with him to his new command

1t would probably be an excellent idea
consider seriously the advisa bility of cut
ting loose finally and forever from w. H.
(Coin) Harvey. There is a very large num-
Der of Democrats who regard Harvey as a
mountebank, fakir, a juggler of phrases
and figures for his own personal ends.
He may be a pure minded patriot and
may sweat blood in sympathy for the
poor but a great many intelligent and
wel-informed persons look upon him as
just the opposite of patriot and states

II Is beginning to be time for Christmas
shoppers 10 think of making their selec-
ton. The holiday season opens in about
five weeks. Those who are In position
to DO so would do well to purchase their
presents ahead of time, and have them put
away for Christmas. This would give
them ample time for selections, and full
stocks to select from. And in every in
stance ali possible shopping should be
done with Savannah merchants. 1t is due
10 local merchants that they should be CIV
en- an opportunity to supply the local de-
mand. There has heretofore been entire
ly too much of sending away from home
for Christmas goods. If money could be
saved by it, or If there were not beaUt-
full and complete stocks here to select
from, there would be some excuse for
sending money to New York. Philadelphia
and elsewhere for holiday articles. But
in many instances articles. can be duph-
Gated in Savannah for less money tn IN
they cost in tie cities named. Try it
this holiday season, and see if 1t isn't
true.

AN UNSATISFACTORY scnrnrLr

1t looks very much as if our railroads
in making their schedules are willing that
Savannah shall be slde-tracked. Take. for
instance, the schedule of the Charleston
and Savannah Railway, which road, for
years, ran an early train out of Savannah
"a train about O'clock in the morning
Persons leaving this city on that train
could attend to business in Charleston or
Port Royal, or Beaufort and get back TO
Savannah the same day. Now. by the
new schedule, there is no train for
Charleston until 1O45 o'clock in the morn
ing, and Charleston is not reached until
o'clock in the evening, and Port ROYAL
and Beaufort not before $50 or Z o'clock
in the evening. 1t is apparent that such
a schedule will Interfere considerably
with travel from Savannah to Charles
ton, and will practically put an end to the
business relations which Savannah has
with Beaufort and Port Royal.
1t seems to US that when schedules are
made there ought to be great considera-
ton for the interests of the patrons Of the
railroads. No doubt there is some reason
why 1t is more convenient for the
Charleston and Savannah Railway to send
its train from this city TO Charleston al
the hour now fixed than at Z O'Clock in
The morning, but it would be far better
for the roads patrons in this city to have
an earlier morning train that would con-
meet with the train for Port Royal and
Beaufort. Cannot the Charleston and sa
vannah see its way clear to going back 20
the old schedule?
