Editor SPECTATOR:-It is always q
pleasure to say good things about your
friend to your friends, so l write to
you about the Stonewall Brigade Band
on it's late visit to this city. All Lynch
| burg had, for days, been looking for
ward with ''great expectation to the
coming of Staunton's famous band.
70 say that their expectations, great
as they were, were not in the least too
great, is to putsthe fact mildly. Every
body was delighted delighted with
the music; delighted with the people
who made the music; with their gen.
tlemanly bearing, with their appear
ance in short, with every thing about
them. All Of the old Stauntonians who
are now residents of Lynchburg, and
there are not few of them we're proud
of their old towns band, and gave it
an enthusiastic greeting. Where all
were good and all were welcome II
may seem invidous to mention names,
but, I must speak of Capt. Robert
Hamilton bob" He.looked SO young
and happy and stepped as lively and as
lightly as he did when one of Jack
sons foot cavalry on march down
the Shenandoah Valley. MAY his
shadow never grow less" When the
Staunton boys over here heard the old
bands music. they involuntarily fell
in behind it just as they had been in
the habit of doing at home from the
time they were tots.
Lynchburg is a glorious town, the
ladies are fair and patriotic. They
have here two chapters of the daugh-
ters of the Confederacy and by their
united efforts they have just unveiled
| beautiful monument to the private
| Confederate Soldier. The StOnewall
Band 3 visit here was for the purpose
of participating in the ceremony Of the
| unveillDg of this monument, and now
their loving and Jealous energies are
| to be devoted to monument to that
grand old soldier q emil Jubal A. Early
The people of LyEchburg feel that

its gates, but just in the nick of time
Jubal with jackson s foot cavalry"
arrived and hurled him back into the
mountains of West Virginia defeated
and disgraced.
The men here are all business but
hospitable and kind and have given
our Staunton people generous wei

prosperous and growing every day, and
