let us Judge not, that we be not judged.
That Of neither has been answered fully.
The Almighty has his own purposes.
Woe unto the world because of offenses,
for it must needs be that offenses come, but
woe to that man. by whom the offense
cometh.' If we shall suppose that Ameri-
can slavery is one of these offenses, which,
in the Providence Of God, must needs come,
but which, having continued through his
appointed time, he now wills to remove,
and that he gives to North and South this
terrible war, as the woe due to those by
whom the offense came, shall we discern
therein any departure from those Divine
attributes which the believers in living
God always ascribe to him? Fondly do
we hope, fervently do we pray, that this
mighty scourge of war may soon pass
away. Yet, il God wills that it continue
until all the wealth piled by the bondman's
250 years of unrequited toll shall be sunk,
and until every drop Of blood drawn by the
lash shall be paid by another drawn with
the sword. as was said 1900 years ago, so
still it must be said: THE judgments Of the
Lord are true and righteous altogether
with malice toward none, with charity
for all, with firmness in the right, as God
gives us to see the right, let us strive on to
finish the work We are in; to bind up the
Nations wounds; to care for him who shall
have borne the battle, and for his widow
and for his orphan; to do all which may
achieve and cherish a just and lasting
peace among ourselves and with all ma

ROUGH RIDING WITH PALMER.
By HON. J. W. OVER.

quently at night threw the trains off the
track by Instructions, and then tried to
capture and destroy them. They were
not very courageous. however, and our
boys with their breecll-loading carbines,
always kept up such a racket, that even
after they had wrecked a train they would
be kept at respectful distance and not
succeed III destroying it.
We started for the front about the 1st OF
August, but were stopped at Chattanooga
to drive Wheeler from the lineof the railroad.
This duty performed. we proceeded to
Calhoun, whence on the 1st of Septem-

Wheeler to East Tennessee.

On Jan. 13. 1864, whilst we were camped
on the French Broad, opposite cambridge,
with brigade of rebel cavalry in our front,
Gen. Vance crossed the mountains OF
North Carolina with a cavalry command,
captured a forage train belonging to our
army, and started with it TO join Longstreet.
Col. Palmer moved in pursuit early IN
the morning. leaving his pickets out to

some of them had rallied.

THE NATIONAL WASHINGTON c. THURSDAY

This capture was made by Cos. G and Fl
while on the march to watch for Davis mt the
ford OF river in Georgia. Bragg had with
him the day before some rebel cavalry, and
Mrs. Bragg very piteously lamented that
they were not still with them to sweep the
Yankees off the face of the earth" She
was exceedingly vindictive, especially
when, in searching the baggage for papers,
some OF the boys unwittingly opened her
trunk. Gen. Bragg made the best of the
situation, and by judicious use Of flattery
induced the Lieutenant in command to
parole him-the only instance l presume
during the war OF a Lieutenant of the United
States Army paroling Lieutenant-Ge G en-
eral OF the Confederate Army.
On this expedition we were in the saddle
almost every day for three months. fire.
quently making forced marches by night
and day, were compelled to live entirely
off the country, and to contiscate all the
horses and mules we could find, to keep
mounted.
Our march was principally through a
part OF the Confederacy not devastated by
either army, and there was abundant food
for man and beast. When in camp for a
few days we would gorge ourselves, anacon-
da like, with stewed chickens, ducks and
turkeys, having as a substitute for crackers
and bread flap jacks made out Of cornmeal
and flour mixed with water and fried in a
skilletful OF grease. When they were
shaking the skillet and tossing them In the
air. This required considerable skill, and
the successful fiap-ja baker was an indi-
vidual of much importance. On our forced
march we had but few opportunities to for
age or cook, and consequently went hungry
frequently for days and nights in success
sion.
After Lees surrender the roads were full
Of his paroled men homeward bound
They were fine-looking soldiers, and we
were as friendly as brothers. Some Of
them were frequently seen mounted on the
horses of our boys, who would be trudging
along by their side talking TO them in the
most friendly manner.
This amicable feeling existed, however,
only between tho veterans, as the nom
combatants were very vindictive; a
favorite expression Of the ladies being that
there was gulf Of blood between the North
and South which could never be bridged.
They were Of course great admirers Of JEFF
Davis, and whilst we were in his pursuit,
at every house, anxious inquiries in mani
fest sympathy for him would be made by
them as to whether or not President"
Davis had been captured. After his cap
ture we proceeded to Huntsville and
thence to Nashville, where the regiment
was mustered out the 21st Of June, 1865.

AS the procession moved from the Capitol
to the White House, at the close Of the cere-
monies, a bright star was visible In the

auspicious omen, like the baptism of sun

who was wounded. There were a number
of loose horses in the field from which the
enemy had been driven. and four or five of
us were busily engaged catching them,
when we noticed five or six cavalrymen
approaching u.s.
We soon discovered that they were rebels,
and that they also thought we were. We
then drew our revolyers. conceallng them
under our oyercoatS, and assumed a care
less attitude. until they had ridden into our
midst, when we covered them with our six
shooters, and kindly, but firmly, demanded
their surrender. They outnumbered us,
but we were masters Of the situation, and
they surrendered.
We were much elated when we discovered
that Gen. Vance himself was one Of them.
He had supposed he was safe from pursuit,
and was in a farmhouse when we charged
his command. 1t had been dispersed so
quickly that he did not know what had
become Of it, and was on a voyage of dis
covery when he saw us; and as we had in
our extreme kindness accommodated a
number Of JohnnieS at their urgent solicita-
ton by exchanging hats and coats with
them, he naturally supposed we belonged
to his troops.
We recaptured the train. number Of
Union home guards, and captured the
greater part Of his command, the prisoners
being about equal in number to ourselves.
and after an ail-mGht'S march brought
them safely into orr lines. During the
night some Of US struck across the country
TO find something TO eat We soon dis
covered a one-story log house, lit up, and
going in found the good man and his
family in q great state f excitement. His
son, member Of the home guards. had

march, tied to a wagon. until rescued by US,
and had just returned home.
1t is needless To say that our welcome
was Of the heartiest kind. Nothing would
do but we must 90 TO bed, and all our pro-
testations that if We did we would certainly
leave numerous lively mementoes Of our

FOR FLYNN AND FREE HOMES
augusta Celebrated Monday IA Every
thing Goes sstyie


Augusta, O. T, June Augusta, the
town in Oklahoma which has caused so
much comment during the past year on
account OF the farmers and business men
iE that section building a railroad grade
forty-five miles long and offering il as a
bonus to any company that would oper-
ate it, held celebration On May % to
rejoice over the passage OF the free
homes bill. Early in the morning the
farmers commenced to arrive until at i
o'clock there were at least 1900 people
on the streets and the town presented
the appearance Of a large corral, as the
town was encircled with the teams that
were hitched around il. Everybody was
as happy as school children and again
felt that the weight of the debt that
they had owed the government had teen
removed. Dennis T. Flynn would have
received a grand ovation here had it
been possible for him to be present, as
the people feel that, irrespective Of party,
they owe the little Irishman a debt that
can never be paid and will send him
back ito congress again this fall with an
overwhelming majority. The business
houses were all covered with flags and
interviewer among them were various
banners complimentary to Flynn and tree
homes. The cry in Oklahoma. and Is
pecially IN Woods county, is for "Seua-
tor Flynn.
