Tue ST. Louis Globe Democrat Of
! Tuesday prints the following inter
esting account Of the comm a nder- In
chef of the Boer forces: Capt. 7.
F. Anderson, general Western agent
OF the Georgia Railroads. in r-ce,ps
of an interesting letter from Col.
Lamar Fontaine relating to Gen.
Jan Joubert, the commander-in
chief of the Boer forces in South
Africa. who Is an American by
birth and a former soldier of the
Confederacy. Capt. Anderson
recently wrote TO Col. Fontaine, a.
Lyon, Miss. regarding Gen. Joubert.
Col. Fontaine is known all over the
South as brave soldier and fine
shot Capt. Anderson, in his letter
to Col. Fontaine, recalled his
impression that Joubert did not
surrender in 1865, but accomr anied
Gen. Loring to Egypt and took
service under the Khedive. Col.
Fontaine's letter in reply follows:

St. Louis, Monty Dear Sir:-In reply to
your inquiry regarding Col. Joubert, the
present commander of the Boer army in
South Africa, will say that he is a native |
of Louisiana belonging to one of the oldest
families of that State and having a brother
and large clan of relatives living still in |
that State. col. Joubert commanded a |
regiment in Dick TayIor's brigade latter
ward Gen. Jack Hays after Taylor's
YCY11ns inn to Mo1O
senior Colonel in the brigade. don't know
whether he commanded the Seventh, Eighth
or Ninth Louisiana Regiment but he was
often in command of this brigade. And in
first baptism of blood, l carried him the
order of battle from Stonewall Jackson on
hat morning. If memory serves me right it
was about O'Clock on the morning of the
10Th of May. 1862, and in his escort
when the battle opened. And from that day
,nti StonewaII's death Col. Joubert was one
II Jackson's most trusted soldiers. I was a
cout and courier for Stonewall from the goth
ellorsville, in May, 1868, and frequently
net Col. Joubert in Stonewa!ls tent and knew
he friendship that existed between these
wo men. After Jackson's death was sent
ackson, Miss, to take part in the siege of
'icksburg, and lost sight of Col. (now Gen :
oubert and saw no more of him until after |
APPomattoX, when he, with Gen. Loring and !
Their Kindred spirits, left the country for ,
oreign lands and took service with the
Ahedive. From there he drifted to South {
Erica and organized the Boer frontier police
eainst the savage negro tribes, and COM
lands the Beer army in the present struggle
gainst the English. He got his training
nder the eye of Stonewall Jackson, and
lie English will find in him an adept
:holar of that great soldier. He must be
bout seventy years old now, for he was not
boy when I knew him, thirty-seven or Z
lirty-eight years ago. With kind regards
you and yours and a comrades love, I

In recognition Of his services in the

governor of Santiago province after

Gen Wood has the reputation OF
being an excellent soldier, and an
able administrative officer, but as
he is modest man he would
not permit any trumpet to sound
his praise for the part he took IN
the fights of the Rough Riders.
He is young man for one of his
achievements, being less than forty
years of age. He began his army
