Capt. DEAN Wants More Informatio,

Editor National Tribune: I read in
your issue of the soldiers friend of
Aug. IL letter from "a friendly enc
N.Y." in which he speaks of the flag epi-
sode in the "last battle of the war"
Several years ago 1 had very pleasant
and instructive correspondence with
this friendly enemy and 1 assure him
thru this medium that I am glad to
know he has not answered the last roll
call. Now, to wipe the cobwebs from
the mind of the friendly enemy" al
low me to inform him that such Fed
eral regiment had a stand of colors
which consisted of a U. s. flag and a
State banner. Now. to the chagrin and
sorrow of every survivor of the Nor
ton Rifles, We acknowledge with due
humiliation that our State banner was
captured at Palmetto Beach by the
enemy, and that we learned it had been
trailed thru the, dust of Brownsville
1t was the q. S. flag that was torn
from the staff, wrapped around the
body of member of the regiment, who

angles to the general line, and lay in
a low swale, projecting toward Semi

Pickett was headed directly for it, but
the course of the charge obliqued. and
the column swept by within 100 yards
of Stannard's front. Stannard and his
Colonels-VeaZey, Randall and Mich

tunity. They held their mems fire un-

ANOTHER ROUSSEAU.
A Brother of Gen. Lowell II. In the Con-
federnte Service.

Editor National Tribune: During the
Summer of 1865, in that quaint old
historic building, the City Prison OF
New Orleans, the place where were
iynched IL of the Italian Malta, which
affair for a time came near causing in
ternational trouble between Italy and
the United States. the writer formed
the acquaintance of q tall, kind
ly looking man whose bearing and man
ners seemed above the ordinary. His
history from his own lips greatly inter-
ested and impressed me and / have
never forgotten his very unusual story.
He had been q member of the Walker
| lfilibusters, whose raid into Nicaragua
resulted in their capture there and
| transportation to Spain. and upon being
tried were sentenced to Il years in the
| quicksilver mines, where no one lived a
year. Thru the diplomatic efforts of the
| American Government they were finally
released from this terrible sentence and
given their freedom.
While Gen. Butler was in command
Rousseau was heard to utter treason
able language on the street, for which
| offense he was arrested and tried and
sentenced for one year in this prison
He drew a photograph from his breast
and handed it to the Judge-Advocate,
who recognized it and exclaimed, "Why,
that is the photograph of my particular
ly warm friend, Maj.-Gen. Lowell II.
Rousseau, of the Union army He
passed it to the other members of the
court, who all recognized it. Upon
being asked what he was doing
with the photograph of so illustrious a
man he said: ''That man is my own
brother" The Judge promptly said:
Such being the facts, we will remit one
half of your sentence and make 1t six
months" Here we have the anomaly of
frr-r hrat he, INN Ic-
but on opposite sides. After telling me
this, and with great feeling, he raised
his eyes and hands toward heaven, while
great, big tears rolled down his cheeks.
and exclaimed: "My sentence is Just and
right, but not as bad as / deserve. This
Government saved me from a horrible
death, and ] have raised my arms and
voice against it, but will never do so
again; so help me God"
The above scene I never can forget.
Such true penitence and true loyalty /
never met, and / very often think of
him and wonder if he did not think
and believe. as many a Southern soldier,
that his cause was just and right-W.
T. Hunter, Co. a, list Ohio, Rockford,
Ohio.
We do not know who this Confeder-
ate Rousseau could have been. There
was no General or field officer of that
name in the Confederate service. There
was Laurence S. Rousseau in the
Louisiana service, and who figured
quite extensively in the early history of
the operations around New Orleans.
He was native of Louisiana, had en-
tered the United States Navy in 1909,
and resigned when his State seeded.
He held the rank of Commodore in the
Confederate Navy. and was much in evil
dence when New Orleans was being put
in shape to resist the attack upon it
