THE SURRENDER OF FT. DoEELs0N

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Louisville Courier Journal, which
openly espoused the cause of Palmer
and Buckner in 1896, and which takes
umbrage at our statements and feel
ings in regard to the surrender of Eft.
Donelson, will find on inquiry that
very many think Of that surrender as
we do, and that they have SO expressed
themselves on numerous occasions.
Forrest was outraged at the surrender,
and friend has called our attention
to the fact that a portion of Forests
command which was overlooked at the
time he moved ID the night, came
away unmolested after daylight of the
morning of the surrender.
In work entitled "Shelby and bis
men," written in 1867, we find the
following:
"In the Trans Mississippi Depart
ment, Commanded by Lieut.. Gen. E..
Kirby Smith, Gen. Simon Bolivar
Buckner commanding the army. the
privates were willing to continue the
contest had the leaders exhibited one
single motive of genuine courage and
enthusiasm. History must damn to
all eternity those last days of the
Trans Mississippi, when it tells how
10000 well armed, well fed. healthy

enemy nearer than 200 miles. disgrace
fully surrendered every thing. Gen.
Buckner had a glorious field open be-
fore him, filled with war, romance and
reputation. 1t is presumed, however,
be saw it only as one sees through a
glass darkly. 1t is reasonable to sup
pose too, that those who, with poetry,
would be attracted by the brilliant,
adventurous career, such as Shelby
offered Buckner, but if the strength
and fervor of his romance depended
upon the beauty and elegance of his
poetry, then indeed was Gen. Buckner
unfit to lead the last forlorn hope of

short lived, his determination was
never compact, his romance was of a
practical kind, and he ha d the mourn
full satisfaction of surrenderpg the
first and the last army of the subju-
gated and destroyed South"
In keeping with his record of open
ing and closing the surrendering per-
Torrance, in times of war, the distin-
guished ''quitter" has surrendered to
the Republican party in Kentucky
and thus has he earned his laurels by
going over to the enemy on more oc-
casions and under less real provocation
than any man Of modern times. These
surrenders may be very honorable"
from the stand point of our distin-
guished contemporary, indeed from
the stand point of the whole Yankee
army in the sixties, and the whole Re-
publican party and their cohorts, the
disaffected Democrats, now, but there
are many who cannot gush over such
honorable" actions, even though TO
