thrown army Gen. Lee held high,

brown army Gen. Lee held high,
though not the chief command.
Now for that touch of human nature
which makes, at least all true South
ern men akin, Lees men in brown, IL
reports are true, were accorded every
possible facility for finding out roads
and the movements of their opponents.
But when Grants men in blue ques-
tened the country people they knew
nothing at all, not even where road
or. path led. They doubtless had
nOAundue feeling against the blue, but
when they saw men in that uniform
under man named Grant streaming
through their quiet neighborhoodS
striving even in a mimic way to get
the better of Lees men in brown, the
past rose SO strongly within their
breast that they had to give them aid
and support and to withhold it from
their opponent.
How McCauley, the great English
historian, would have loved such an
incident, and how picturesquely he
would have treated it, l recall one
not very dissimilar from the above
that" he uses with great effect. In
1858 the Duke of Argyle, then in exile
in Holland, tried to overthrow the
Popery and tyranny OF James Ii by
q descent on Scotland. He had but
to show himself in Argyleshire in the
Highlands for every Campbell to rise
in armor. But the rising proved a
failure, the clan scattered and the
Duke fled in disguise. All went well
with him until he had to pass a
guarded ford There his disguise
to seize him. He resisted. but hav
ing only his pocket pistols and these
becoming wet in the stream failed to
fire, and the Duke was soon struck
down by broad sword and secured.
The caDtors were true Professionals,
and when they learned who their
prisoner was, that he was More (the
great McCallum) the Highland title
for the Duke of Argyle, who was the
chief leader of Professionalism in the
country and the greatest man in all
Scotland, they wept, though they did
not dare to risk the vengeance of
King James by liberating their
captive. So they turned him over to
the authorities to be hanged, drawn
and chartered.
Now for such resemblance as this
bears to the Manassas incident L have
just quoted. The leader of the guard
at the ford, and probably the man who
struck down McCallum More with the
broad-sword was named Riddcll.
After that every Campbell abhorreti
the very name of Ridden, handing
to generation SO strong had tho
feeling remained that when nearly
$50 years had passed and the 18th
century was well on the way, when a
man named Riddell had occasion to
visit a fair in Argyshire he found il
prudent to change his name. BY the
way, 1 have heard that there is =
gentleman living in Robertson County
by the name of McCallum Moore.
While it is not the nature of our
race to nurture animosity as the old
Highlanders did, the manceuvers have
certainly enabled the patriotic Virginia
country folk to emphasize the fact
that while they NAV have forgiven,
they have not forgotten, the doings of
the men in blue in their visit of long
ago. This they have shown pictures
quely as the people almost always do.
