Brave CONFEDERATE
~--~
y Z.

One Of the pu-est and BRAY
est 1aen l n ", says Rev. c.: +.
W. Dobbs, curing the war for
the union, was Sam Davis Il
famous confederate scout, who
met his death on the scaffold
at Pulaski. Tenn, i'm the.sum-
r1er of 1861. His memory is
cherished in middle Tennessee
as that Of Il martyr patriot.
Davis was one Of the most re-
liable and daring scouts in the
southern ranks, and to him
were committed some of the
most dangerous missions with
in the federal lines. In execut-
ing one of these peculiarly
hazardous expeditions he was
captured and thrown into Il
military prison. Some incrin,-
mating papers were found up
on hin-papers the author of
which it was quite important
to ascertain. He was sum
marily tried by court-martial
and sentenced to die upon the
scaffoid.
II cannot be false to NV
comrades or to friends, nf our
cause within the union lines"
Was his UNMARRIED and and de-
ciurd answer.
Again and again was lie i'm
portuncd to- safe his life by
divulging the name of his CON
fedcrnttS. TO all such import
unity the heroically turned IL
deaf ear, dcrlnring his deter
mutation to die with the secret
buried in his bosom. Perhaps
the sevcresttest of his courage
vas when his anianced, love
ly young woman of northern
Alamaba, found her way
through the union lines and
was accorded an interview
with her condemned lover.
They were permitted a privat.
icterview. Even to the loved
one he positively refused to
veild the coveted Information.
She pleaded:
"Sain if you love me and
your dear old mother weeping
for you at home, l beg you to
save your life"
II do love you, jamie and my
heart is almost breaking as [
think OF mother but,-"llis
voice quivered aud utterance
almost failed him, but he quick
~ recovered his composure and
firmly finished his sentences;
There are occasions and cir
culnstances when ones duty to
God and country rises above
every other motives. l cannot
he a traitor"
TO the the credit Of the won,-
an he loved be j, said that she
ceased to urge him, and soon
passed from his presence with
eye undimmed, after assuring
him Of her increased admira-
ton for him in veiw Of his evil
dent devotion to his duty. The
day of execution was not long
delayed. To the young captain
was assigned the sad duty OF
pulling the lever which was to
send the soul of his new found
friend into eternity. Together
they stood upon the fatal scaff-
old. Once again the captain
with voice trenloluos with EN-
otion urged Davis to give the
desired information and save
his life. The doomed man hung:
his head amonent and his lips
were seen to move i'll silent
prayer. Then raising his head
he firmly answered:
IF I had a thousand lives, T.
would lose them all before /
would betray my friends or the
confidence of my employer"
Stout hearts were moved by
the he~oism of the man aud
tears stole unbidden into eyes
of strong men. Reluctantly
the lever was sprung al d the
brave soul If Sam Davis went
to meet his God-New Voice.
