from a nearby spring on our right,
our ranks were SO thin that the few
men lay down by the brook for pro-
lection; but the depression was not
sufficient to shield us from the enc
my's fire, only twenty yards away
Here is where we thought that our
life depended on our rapid firing, and
in our haste shot away our ramrod;
but we never lost a second. Some of
the readers may say that we were
scared; if they do we will not deny
the charge, since we can't remember
all the little incidents which occurred
so far back. Our comrade, G.. w.
Stinson, of La Grange, was shot and
instantly killed, as was many others
alongside the little brook. We finish
ed the fight with our comrades gun
stick, which lay by our side. When
the reinforcements came into view
the enemy fled. This little brook,
where it flowed into the Monocracy a
half-mile away, was red with Georgia
blood
After Gen. Early's defeat at Win
chester, September 10Th, and later at
Cedar Greek, some waggish soldier
composed a song which was sung by
the privates during the remainder of
the Valley campaign. We can only
recall a line or two. Part of Gen.
Lees verse was:
cold Gen. Lee, he's alright,
He will fight them Yankees day and
night
We can't recall a word of Long
streets, d. III. and A. P. Hills verses,
but here is a part of Earlys:
"Old Jubal Early is playing out
And the Valley girls gone up the
spout"

BATTLE OF MONOCACY, OLD
JUDE, GEN. EVANS, AND THE
SONG THE SOLDIERS SANG.
BATTLE

Dear Strive were very much
interested in reading Mr. Todd's let
ter and your important reply.
I was one Of the boys who follow
ed EARLY, Gordon and Evans in the
Valley campaign. Early never fail
ed to hold his position in Lees lines,
but was not the officer to achieve
success with a separate command.
We we're at Monocacy when our be-
loved Evans, while riding at a rapid
pace from left to right encouraging
his men, was pierced by minnie
ball and fell from his horse in front
of our company Go. H, 18th Ga.
Regt). Our litter bearers were by
his side in an instant and bore him
from the field. His horse ran wild
and dashed through the enemy's
skirmish lines twice, then back
through the Confederate lines, where
it was caught.
The enemy held strong position
in public road, the bed of which
was about three feet below the sur
face, which afforded them almost
complete shelter from our guns. But
Gen. Gordon had unbOunded conf
dence in Gen. Evans and his brigade
He believed that he could crush Gen.
Wallace's forces aside with his old
brigade; but we had tough job and,
owing to the enemy's sheltered posi-
ton, we like to have failed. In this
engagement our regiment came in
contact with an elegant mansion,
where we had some trouble in pass
ing around and through the flower
gardens and through hedges. The
writer passed down the middle of
magnificent carriage drive. When
reaching a little brook that flowed

This was sung along the Valley
pike in the day and around the camp
kettles at night. Perhaps some old
survivor of the Valley campaign
might reproduce this old poem.
We were in less than ten PAGES of
Gen Evans when he was shot out of
his saddle, saw him fall forward with
his face on left side of his horses
neck, caught it's name in his right
hand, lifted his right foot from the
stirrup and fell to the ground with
heavy thud.

Now let me ask why erect the monument at
Andersonville almost at the feet of the 1927
dead who lie buried there? If they were bound
to erect the monument is should have been erect
ed in his native town in Richmond. [ under
stand the authorities of the latter place refused
to entertain the project.
SYLVESTER O. LORD,
Late Corporal Co. D, 18th Conn. Vols.
Southington, Conn., July %.
We might say much by way of reply to
this specifying as the cause for Anderson
vile horrors the exhaustion of Southern re-
sources, the refusal of the North to exchange
prisoners, the making of medicine contraband
of war; and we night dwell upon the statis-
tics which prove that the percentage of NOR
tality was greatest in the Northern prisons
But since Corporal Sylvester, O Lord has
gone upon the witness stand to relate his &C
tual experience in the Andersonville hell hole,
the ,JEFFERsoNIAN will introduce a witness for
the other side. Thomas III. Timmons, now
resides in Thomson, Ga He is minister of
the Gospel, Methodist by faith, a gentle
man who is esteemed by all who know HIM
He was Lieutenant in Company O., seth
Georgia Regiment (Volunteers), Cummings
Brigade. He was captured on the line of
battle, at Bakers Creek, in Mississippi, May
Is, 1868, and landed at Fort Delaware, as a
prisoner, about the first of June, 1863
'When I first arrived at that horrible place."
said Mr. Timmons, "and looked upon the atten-
uated forms and hollow eyes of the who had
been there for several months my heart sank
within me. The prisoners poorly quartered,
damned in like cattle hogs The guards
seemed to have been selected for their supercil-
iousness, and they appeared to be afraid of the

Why WrS i?

The JEFFERsoN1AN takes no pleasure in re-
vlvlng the bitter memories of the Civil War
period, but when Northern newspapers give
space and prominence to Andersonville
charges, indicting the South for conditions
which she was unable to relieve, we must be
pardoned if we "scratch back" little.
In the New York World, we find the fol-
lowing:
Why WirS
To the Editor of The World:
In the issue of The World of June Is appeared
letter from Adolphus Raglan, which is a pre-
tended answer to the editorial in The World
why Wirz?''
No wonder The World asks that question. I
was an inmate Of that hell-hole from June 1 to
October 1, 1854, and think I know something of
the conditions in the prison. The description of
Andersonville by James G. Blaine quoted by Mr.
Raglan is none too strong. Tongue can never tell
and pen can never write true story of the ter
rible sufferngs by boys in that and other pris-
of the South.

Annapolis, Nd. July 21.-"My poor

shot" declared Mrs. James N. Sutton.
mother Of Lieut.. James N. Sutton Of
the Marine corps, before the resump-
ton Of the inquiry into her sons death.
l am now certain that Jimmy was kill.
ed by blows struck by his companions
In the marine service. The bullet was
fired into his head after 1t was seen
that he was dead. This was done to
bolster up the allegation that Jimmy
committed suicide, which myself and
daughter have long ago declared to be
false
After listening to the testimony of
three men in the government service,
who should have been my sons COM
rades, am certain that q great crime
was committed. Personally I will be
satisfied when, l have proved that my
boy did not take his own life. But
what will the government do? 1t is not
the fact that most grave charges
against someone must follow an over
turning of the original report of the
first board? That is the real reason
the marine corps is making such
fight in this second inquiry"
This outbreak on the part of Mrs.
Sutton followed the sensational testi-
mony Of Lieut.. WIN. F. Bevan whose
version OF the tragedy is so widely at
variance with the testimony of Lieuts.
Adams and Osterman that it left the
impression that Lieut.. Sutton, while
self-slain. did not commit suicide, as
stated by the other two young Off

His Passport.
ARBITRATION THE CAUSE
ARGENTINE PRESIDENT RULED
UNFAvORABLY TO BOLIVIA IN
DISPUTE WITH PERU AND TRoU-
BILE FOLLOWS.

Buenos Ayres, July 21.-The long
threat OF war between Bolivia and Ar
gentine Republic over territory claim
ed by both nations is today on the eve
of fulfillment. The Bolivian minister
Dr. f. villozon, stationed here, has
been given his passport and has left
the city. The cause of this action was
the decision of the Bolivian govern
ment to submit to the Bolivian con-
gress the arbitral decision of President
Alcorta, of Argentine, in the Argen-
embroglic. The Ar
gentine government feels insulted at
the declarations made by President
Monies Of Bolivia and the diplomatic
break is looked to procede a more
serious breach.
Progressive Republic.
Argentine is the most progressive
republic OF South America. She is
rich and well equipped in arms and
the contest with Bolivia would be I'M
equal. Argentine pays her president
$4,000 a year. Her revenues from
minerals and. agriculture is 100000
900 annually. Her fighting strength
is 100000 men. Bolivia would be hard
pressed to put an army of 100000 in
the field.
