Der. 1863, but died on Deceber -, 1867
Nor did any of the Federal soldiers
from the hospital attend the old lady's
remains to their last resting place. This,
to my certain knowledge, was fact
no orders to that effect having been CIV
en-. Therefore none Of those conyalesc-
ing invalid soldiers were at my aunts
funeral So much for this branch OF
your New York correspondents state
ment.
Now, a word as to the waving OF the
Federal flag In the face OF the rebels by
Dame Barbara on the occasion OF stone
wall Jscksons march through Fred
erick. Truth requires me 10 say that
Stonewall Jackson with his troops did
not pass Barbara Frietchie's residence
at all, but passed up what in this city
Is popularity called THE Mill Alley,
about three hundred yards above her
residence; then passed due west to An
tietam, and thus out of the city. But
another and stranger fact with regard
to this matter may be here presented
viz: The poem by Whittier represents
our venerable relative then ninety six
years Of age as nimbly ascending to her
attic window and waving her small
Federal flag dehantly in the face OF
Stonewall Jaekson's troops. Nov, what
are the facts at this point? Dame Bar
bara was, at the moment Of the passing
of the distinguished general and his
forces through Frederick, bed-ridden
and helpless. and had lost the power Of
locomotlon. She could at this period
only move, as she was moved, by the
help of her attendants. These are ths
true and stern facts, proving tina. Whit
tiers poem upon this subjec, is riction.

even the remotest semblanee or re-
semblanee of fact.

alongside of Roman Cloelia or Scottish
Katherine Douglas vanishes into thin
air. The utmost that can be contend
cd for is that she may have waved a
Union flag to welcome Union troops.
Even this Is highly improba ble-well-
nigh impossible, indeed, for a poor old
bedredden dame of ninety-six; bat
granting it be true, wherein consists the
extraordinary heroism Of the act? AS
this myth is an exceedingly tough one
to kill, because of its stirring setting, it
might be we'll for ''the curious inter-
ested in such matters to cut out Mr..
Ebert's letter and paste it in their scrap
books. The myth Is sure to bob up
again. We can all admire Whittier s
poem; it is almost a pity that the Incl
dent isn't true, but facts are facts, and
Dame Barbara, as an actual heroine,
must come down from the lofty pedes-
tai upon which the poet has placed her
solely by power of poetic-license.
