Some time ago I advertised for o
copy of General Henry II. Jackson's
famous speech on the " Wanderer" "
and also for copy of Daniel Webster's
| last and greatest speech made at Capon
Springs IN June, 1861, in which he
qualified all his previous declarations
about the right of a State to withdraw
from the Union under certain contin-
gencies. That speech was suppressed at
the North and is not found in his pub
lished works.
Well have been favored with both.
Senator Mangum, Of North Carolina,
heard the speech delivered and he
with other Southern members of Con-
gress had it printed in pamphlet form
and his grandson, Wiley Mangum
Turner, of Greensboro, N. c., has
found 1t among his grandfather's
papers and sent 1t to me. My friend,
Mr.. Ed Holland, of Atlanta, Ca, has
had both speeches neatly printed in
one pamphlet, together with brief
biography of General jackson by his
friend, Joseph M. Brown, and this in
valuable pamphlet will be mailed to
any address on receipt of 25 cents.
1t will be sent TO students of colleges
at the cost of publication. Address

And now here is letter from an old
Federal soldier living at Live Oak,
Fla. His name is T. w. Angus, and
he belonged to General Sickles'
brigade, and two days after battle in
Virginia in 1862 he found in The woods
the dead body of Confederate soldier,
and he and comrade dug grave and
buried him. In his pocket was found
pass from Colonel John 8. Reid,
colonel commanding Third Georgia re-
giment, and the name of the soldier
was ID. p. Williams. Also another
pass from Captain D. b. Langston,
commanding company X.
1 find in General Avery's roster the
names of both these officers, and if pri-
vate Williams has any surviving rela-
tives and would like to have these
passes I Will send them.
I wrote in q former letter that the
bears of Mississippi had held a con-
ventlon and resolved not to come out
of their dens TO be shot at by any priest
or president who slandered Mr.. Davis.
l am pleased to read that Governor
Longino did not invite him there, and
that the veterans Of Memphis will not
attend the ovation that Memphis has
promised him. After denouncing Mr..
Davis (who was dead) as the arch
traitor and repudi;.Lor, it seems to me
to be the most unblushing impudence
for him to put his feet ON. that hallowed
ground. He says in his so-called his
tory that when Mr.. Davis was Cover
nor he vetoed the bill that was passed
to pay the repudlated debts, when the
truth is Mr.. Davis never was Governor,
nor did he ever advocate reputation.
Teddy, old boy, wncn are you going to
retract and send an apology to Mrs.
Davis, who still lives? You say in
your book that we were all traitors
and anarchists. How about your uncle,
Captain Bulloch, who served with Ad-
miral Semmes in our navy, of whom
you wrote so gushingly to Mr.. Cunning
ham, saying he was most admirable
man and very like the Colonel New
come of Thackeray? Was he traitor,
too? But Cunningham says Teddy ID
all right and showers editorial praise
upon him in "The Veteran" I
wonder what the veterans of Missis-
sippi think of that.
