would not increase. But every customer

Tales of the Old Soldiers.
Richmond Times s-Dispatch.


A great many interesting books
have been written about the War for
Southern Independence, but the
story has not yet been fully told, and
will never be told, unless men who
participated in that glorious conflict
tell in their own way their experiences
of the camp and field and forum. We
have received a letter from the Rev.
R. Fl. Pitt, d. D., editor Of the Re
ligious Herald, of this town, upon
the subject. 1t is true, as he says,
that ''we have had many interesting
books about the great war, excellent
lives of our great leaders, both mill
tary and civil, abound; we have
many fine and informing discussions
of the political causes that lead to
the conflict, and many able and ad-
mirable discussions of the great mill
tary movements, but only here and
there a volume which gives us the
life and experiences OF the private
soldier"
"Major Stiles's -Four Years With
Marse Robert is full of charming
personal incidents. General Maury's 8
'Recollections of Virginian' is a fine
book of it's type, that deserves the
widest reading. The late John Alex
ander, of Leesburg, just a year or so
before his lamented death, wrote
most entertainingly OF This experiences
with Mosby's men, and there have
been other occasional volumes of the
kind" Then comes this very andmir-
able suggestion from DR.. Pitt:
"It is startling to remember that
ere another quarter OF a century
shall be completed the Army of Nor
thern Virginia will have passed out
of sight, only here and there will be
left some tremulous and broken sur
vivor, fighting a losing battle against
the inevitable infirmities of age.
Now, happily, we have large num-
Der of these brave men still among
us, and it may be safely said that
there is not one of them who did not
have personal experiences of army
life which would make most interest
ing story. Let a group OF these
veterans get together for a chat, and
observe how many quaint and
curious incidents are told. But all
this wealth of material, invaluable in
it's way, will perish with the men out
OF whose experiences it comes, and
this loss it would be difficult to esti-
mate.

Senator Terrell, Of Georgia, sug-
gests that there be erected at Wash

Terrell would show the affection of

wounds are healed. Grant and Lee
were among the greatest soldiers,
not only of that war, but of military
history. And they represent two
different types ofAmericans. There
fore the monument would be not
only one commemorating peace but
would show the equality of man,
Lee, the aristocrat, the chev alier
OF the Southland who represented all
that was best in the old "flrst fami-
lies of Virginia, schooled in all the
ideas OF honor, pride and caste, still

rious camps some earnest movement
might be set on foot to induce each
member of them to write down in his
own fashion some account OF his own
personal experiences in the army.
He need not write them primarily
for publication. 1t isn't at all neces-
sary that he should be trained and
practiced writer. Let him put down
his recollections, his experiences, just
as he would tell them, and perhaps
has told them, to his friends and
comrades. Then let these papers be
filed away among the records of the
camps, and perhaps later on be put
in some suitable room in the Abbey.
If this could be done, and | see no
reason why it cannot, the future stu
dent OF that great struggle, the fu-
ture historian who is to give US some
adequate and def1nitive account OF
that great conflict, would find in
such stories Of personal memories in
valuable aid for his work. Whatever
is to be done must be done quickly,
else all this priceless history will dis
appear, save where it fingers in half
remembered or distorted traditions.
We trust that the suggestion made
by DIR. Pitt will receive the immediate
and sympathetic attention Of all
the Confederate Camps in the State.
The men who fought the war are
passing away. The thin gray line is
growing thinner every day, and be-
fore it vanishes like the mist OF the
morning the soldiers should tell the,
story of their own deeds-the little
thing gs that do not attract the atten-
ton of the great historians, but that
are really the very heart and soul OF
the cause for which these men fought.
There is no time for delay. Every
day taps sound for some old man
who wore the gray.
