SAM DAVIS.

Every American boy should know
the story of the life of Sam Davis. After
the bitterness that grew out of the civil
war shall have passed away, and re-
united nation shall remember it as the
occasion for the exercise of the highest
type of American bravery, Sam Davis
will take his place in the niche with
Nathan Hale.
Davis was entrusted with dispatches
for Gen. Bragg. He was in the federal
lines. He was captured, and the dis
patches gave such correct description
of the federal Notifications and federal
equipment that Gen. Dodge felt that
some one in the service of the federal
government was responsible for the in
formation and the documents contain.
ing it.
Davis was scarcely more than boy.
Gen. Dodge was man of commanding
and pleasing personality. He asked
Davis to tell him whence the dispatch
es came. He promised him immunity
from death for this information. He
warned him that if he did not tell him
he would die, not even as soldier dies
but at the end of a halter. He said t
Davis, " You are young man and de
do not seem to realize your situation.
Davis replied: i know my danger
and am willing to take the conse
quences." And Davis was court-mar
tailed and sentenced to be hanged.
Davis received his death sentenc,
with that lofty courage that marks thu
chiyalric soul. Life was TO him a swee
thing. All in it was beautiful, but 1t
gave no sign of weakness. He wa
taken to the scaffold sitting on his col
fin. There a messenger from Genera
Dodge told him that if he would bu
give the information required, h
would not die.
Over him the bright sun was shining
and the only dark spot was the SHADOW
, cut into the light by the gibbet from
which he was to swing. AT his fee

GEN. JOHN H.
MORGAN'S CAPTURE.

An item from Washington has been
extensively published in relation to an
accident to Mrs. Thompson, know as
Mother Thompson, an employe in one
of the departments. This item claims
that Mrs. Thompson gave the informa-
tion to Gen, Gillian rs TO the DISPOSE
tion Of Gen. John ii. Morgan's forces
in Greenvile, which led To the defeat
and death of Gen. Morgan. This, like
many other reports in relation TO this
affair, has been heretofore published,
but has no foundation in fact, and Gen.
Gillian had occasion to send dispatch
to his superior stating that no
woman gave him any information
which led 70 his victory on that &C.
cassion. In relation to this affair the
following item may be of use to the
future historian:
Capt. f. G. Carter, who recently
died. was in the Federal service, and
with his company or part of his COM
pany, was at the time of Gen. Nor
gan's entry into GreeWille about five
miles north of Greenville. He obtain
ed the information from deserters from
Morgan's command, as he claimed at
the time, and had the same reduced to
writing. He then detailed three young
men to carry the newo to Gen. Gillian.
These three men were John Gift OF
Cooke County and j. II. HoltsingeI
and John Davis of Greene County.
These three young men started, going
northward and in The direction Of
Rogersville TO avoid the Confederate
pickets. After travelling in this direc
ton perhaps eight miles they turned
off into another road leading directly
to Bulls Gap. There they gave the
information to Gen. Gillian and with
in few minutes his command wa.
moving in the direction of Greenville

Montgomery, who died in front of Que
bee. Down the street three blocks you
can go and turn to the right into Gem
etery that is at the mouth of Wall St.,
where men struggle and fight and win
and lose fortunes every day. In this
cemetery sleeps Lawrence of the Ches-
apeake. A few feet away is the tomb
of Alexander Hamilton. In Wall
street, in front of the subtreasury build
ing, is an heroic monument to Wash
ington.
To the student of history all of this
is hallowed ground. But after one
passes through and comes away and
begins to dream, to think and to re-
member, the strongest picture of all is
that of Nathan Hale, who was hanged
by the British as spy.
