A Gallant Soldier Has Gone.

DEAR COURIER;
Clarke county and Berryville have
lost one of their best citizens by the
death Of Maj. 5. J. c. Moore. AS
soldier, none eScelled him in bravery or
gallantry, and as an officer he was held
in high esteem by both Generals Jackson
and Early, and while on the latter's
stan be gave excellent and homo rsble
service.
When the time came TO advance, he
did not send his company forward, but
said, Come on boys"'
At the battle of Port Republic General
Jackson ordered Captain Moore with his
company 10 take an important position
on the river and hold the bridge. wss
sent 10 General Jackson with dispatch,
and had considerable difficulty in find
ing him, but found him as cool and col
lected as though he was attending a pic
ME. After delivering my dispatch he
sent me with one 20 Captain Moore.
His dispatch read, Hold your position"
When delivered it 10 Captain Moore
he said, Tell General Jackson nv COM
pany will hold the position until it is
ordered away or carried away"
Can anyone imagine more pointed
orders and replies?
When l returned TO General Jackson
with Captain MOore's reply he said, IT
know he will DO it."
While l lived in Clarke county Mr..
Moore was a frequent visitor st nv
house. aud we have had many talks
about war-times and their events and
scenes
Many years ago heard Major Moore
deliver Decoration Day address, which
l consider the best have ever heard.
lie said, in opening, You have heard
many speeches about the late war, prais-
ing the officers for their gallantry, cour-
age, and ability, but the subject of my ad-
dress today will be The Private Soldier"
1t was the finest thing have ever heard.
| first become acquainted with Mr..
Moore about 1850, and l know that he
was loved for his high traits by all who
knew him.
Our soldiers are rapidly answering the
last roll call, and it will not be long
until all have passed away.
