One of the most daring and thrilling
events of the Civil War, on either
side, was the Andrews railroad raid
into Georgia, in 1862, when the loco
motive General" on the Western and
Atlantic Railroad, was captured by
Union soldiers and then, after a hot
chase. retaken by the Confederates.
Rev. William Pittenger, now a Metho-
dist preacher in California, was one
of the raiders who escaped with his
life, and he has written a complete
narrative of the thrilling and tragic
events connected with the expedition.
/ desire, however, to call attention TO
only one feature of the narrative, the
theological education of Pittenger
while in Jail at Atlanta, Ca, through
the humane and kindly offices of Rev.
George G. N. MacDonell a distinguish
ed Methodist divine, well known in
Savannah. OF him Rev. Mr.. Pittenger
says: I'VE all remember with deep
est gratitude the Rev. George G. N.
MacDonell, one of those who attended
our comrades on the day of death"
This refers to the raiders who were
hung in Atlanta. Rev. DR.. w. ]. Scott
also visited these raiders in prison. but
instead of giving them religious COM
fort and advice, he entered into a
sharp political discussion, which only
angered the prisoners and resulted in
his not coming again.

But our interview and subsequent
acquaintance with Rev. Mr.. MacDon-
ell, writes Rev. Mr.. Pittinger twas
of a very different character. So
kind was he to us afterward that some
of us thought he might possibly be a
Union man in real sentiments; but he
has since assured me that he was not
in the slightest degree, and all he did
ity and religion. We had a very pleas
ant interview. He gave us valuable
counsel, and I felt it a great privilege
to talk over religious questions with
one so intelligent and sympathetic.
When he left he promised to send us
some books, and did not forget to
promptly forward them" When these
books were read others were sent in
their place. and all were eagerly read
by the raiders in their lonely prison
cell. 1T made the prison." says Rev.
Mr.. Pittenger, "a Veritable school
room; and in view of our religious eff
forts the character of the books was
just what we would most have desir-
ed. The fact that many, though
not all, of the minister's books were
of a theological and religious cast only
made them the more welcome This
Atlanta jail was my theological semi
nary" 1t must be a source of great
encouragement to Rev. Mr.. MacDonell
to know that his interest in these raid
ers not only led Mr.. Pittinger to be-
come a useful and honored Methodist
preacher. but made better Christians of
his associates. Sidney Herbert.

Another error into which Judge Bar

wounded, but he was not Carried to

he did so-and not when dying-he re-
piled to Gen. Peter Horry's remark:
You are not much hurt, hope, Jas

lieve 1 have got my furlough." Gen.
Horny the bosom friend of Gen. Sum-
ter, and his biographer, was major
and colonel of the regiment to which
Jasper and Newton belonged, and was
an eye witness of Jasper's "limping
back to the rear with the colors he
had rescued at the cost of his own
life. The major did not then believe
him mortally wounded, and passed on
to attend to some official duties, after
which he visited Jasper in his tent
and had a long and touching inter-
view with the dying hero, who soon
passed away, his last words being a
message to Mrs. Elliott, who gave the
flag he died for to the regiment. Gen.
Horny does not mention Lieut.. Gray
as dying for the flag. but refers to

dislike very much to correct my
dear old friend, Judge Pope Barrow,
but I find a few errors in his eloquent,
patriotic and admirable address at the
unwilling of the Memorial at Jasper
Spring. 1t should not be expected that
a busy jurist-one holding courts all
over the state, as we'll as in his own
circuit, can find time to prepare such
an address with minute accuracy as
to details. Various authorities differ
in their narratives of Sergt Jasper's
career, which no doubt led Judge Bar
row into his errors, which 1 shall cor
rect by the testimony of a distinguish
ed eyewitness. The judge says it has
never been explained why children were
among the captives at the spring. 1
answer, simply because there were no
children there. Mrs. Jones, wife of one
OF the prisoners, had a little 5-year-old
boy with her. and it was the sight of
this poor, sorrow-stricken mother and
child that inspired Jasper to his dar-
ing deed of rescue, assisted by Sergt.
Newton. Jasper then believed that his
earthly race was nearly run, and told
Newton that if he did not rescue the
prisoners or die in the attempt that
woman and her child would haunt him
