Caldwell Watchman: We are inform
ed that Hon. w. B. Clarke, now one
of the prominent attorneys of Mon
roe, is considering entering the con-
test for Congress from this district,
to succeed Hon. J. E. Ransdell. Mr.
Clarke is one of the distinguished
sons of Caldwell, being born and
reared in this parish. He was al
active Hall man in the recent con-

midable candidate, should he decide
to enter the race.

.sThe attitude of the commanding
generals of the North and the South
toward each other, after the final
surrender, writes Mr.. Thomas Mel
son Page in his recent book on GEN
eral Lee, is one that the world re-
garded with establishment, and that
Americans may forever look back
upon with pride. In illustration, Mr..
Page offers an engaging anecdote
from Longs memoir of Lee.
1t appears that on the afternoon of
the day Of the surrender at Apo
mattox, Meade paid a friendly visit
to Lee at his headquarters. In the
course of the conversation, Lee
turned to Meade, who had been as

SOME RESOLUTIONS BY LOUISE
ANA FRIENDS.


Dear Mr. Watson: [ am encIos-
ing some resolutions for publication.
We all love you Mr.. Watson, if there
is anything I can do for you over
this way, that a poor farmer can do,
let me know. | am a young man
twenty eight years old. I have one
boy five years of age, his name is
Thomas Watson Green.
Yours truly,
Louisiana. J. L. GREEN.
Resolutions adopted by citizens of
ward five Lincoln Parish, La, in
massmeeting assembled at Hopewell
school house.
Whereas, The founders of the
American republic, did with great
wisdom and foresight, lay down as
a great fundamental principle of
this government, that there should
be a complete separation of church
and State, and
Whereas, The American people
only have to look back into history
for a moment to discover that the
union of Church and State, or any
suspicion thereof inevitably led to
revolution, bloodshed, oppression
and disaster in the end to many
countries that even so much as tasted
thereof, and
Whereas, It is emphatically our
opinion that free discussion shall not
be stif1ed at the behest of the Ro-
man Catholic church priesthood,
even when backed by time serving
and Office seeking politicians; that
if the only political editors of dis
tinguished ability, who have the
manhood to expose the foul history
and practices Of a corrupt hierarchy
and priesthood, is to be prosecuted,
at their demand, the patriotic people
Of the whole country should be in
formed of it; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we believe the
Hon. Thos. E. Watson has been pro-
claiming the truth on the subject of
Romanism, and that we believe the
Hierarchy to be the deadliest men
ace to liberties and civilization.
Be it further resolved, That we ex-
tend to Mr.. Watson our sincere SYM
pathy and moral support in his per-
secutions, and we unqualifiedly com
mend and indorse his action in ex-
: posing the foul history and practices
of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy
and its priesthood, particularly in
their reasonable attempt to mix
government of Church and State.

FORESTS Farewell Address

expect, when arrested, to be sent
North and imprisoned. Let those alb
sent from their commands report at
once to this place, or to Jackson,
Miss; or if too remote from either,
to the nearest United States post or
garrison for parole.
Civil war, such as you have just
passed through, naturally engenders
feelings Of animOsity, hatred and re-
venge. 1t is our duty to divest our
selves Of all such feelings, and, so
far as in our power to do so, culti-
vate friendly feelings toward those
with whom we have so long contest
ed. Neighborhood fueds, personal
animosities and private differences
should be blotted out; and when you
return home a manly, straightfor
ward course of conduct will secure
the respect even Of your enemies,
Whatever your responsibilities may
be to government, to society, or to
individuals, meet them like men.
In bidding you farewell, rest as
sured that you carry with you my
best wishes for your welfare and
happiness. Without any way referr-
ing to the merits of the cause in
which you have been engaged, your
courage and determination, as ex-
hibited on many hard fought fields,
have elected the respect and admi-
ration of friend and foe, and I now
cheerfully and gratefully acknowl-
edge my Indebtedness to the officers
and men of my command, whose
zeal, fidelity and unf1inching bravery
have been the source of my past sue
cess in arms.
| have never, on the field of battle,
sent you where I was unwilling to
go myself; nor would l now advise
you to a course which l felt myself
unwilling to pursue. You have been
good soldiers; you can be good citi-
Zens. Obey the laws, preserve your
honor, and the government to which
you have surrendered can afford to
be magnanimOus."
In after years Charles Francis Ad-
ans, a Federal commander, a man
of broad views, in delivering an
eulogy on Gen. Lee, said: cit was
the shame of America that the North
not only failed to be magnanimous,
but was cruelty ungenerous.
The conduct of the Seventh Ten
nessee cavalry, one of Forests COM
mands, disbanded at Gainesville,
Ala, shows how attached to him
were Forests old soldiers and to
the cause for which he fought. When
Forrest issued his farewell address
they gathered in groups and many
wept like children, determined not
to surrender their flag. "The old
bullet-torn flag, whose blue cross had
been triumphantly borne aloft for
years at the cost of so much blood
and valor, they would never part
with. On the eve of surrender, as
the shadows of night fell, the men
reverently gathered around the staff
in front of regimental headquarters,
and cutting the silk into fragments,
each soldier carried away with him
a bit of the coveted treasure. The
flag had been the gift Of a young
lady of Aberdeen, Miss, made from
her bridal dress, and had never for
an instant been abandoned by the
men of the Seventh Tennessee caval-
ry after it had been committed to
their guardianship"

But even he had imbibed the senti-
ments of Gen. Grants destructive or
der to Gen. Sherman. Gen. Thomas,
hearing rumor that Forrest would
not surrender, but would lead his
troops across the Mississippi and
continue hostilities, telegraphed to
Gen. Hatch at PASSPORT, Miss, as fol
lows: Send under flag of truce a
summons to Forrest to surrender
upon the terms given by Gen. Grant
to Gems. Lee and Johnston. Inform
him of the rumors which have
reached you, and that you are pre-
pared for him, and if he attempts
such a reckless adventure he will be
treated thereafter as an outlaw, and
the States of Mississippi and Ala
bama will be~so destroyed that they
will not recover for fifty years"
Evidently Gen. Thomas did not
understand the character Of Forrest
Gen. Dick Taylor was in command of
that department and had already en-
tered into an agreement with Gen.
Candy, and Gen. Taylor had notified
Gen. Forrest, who had no idea OF
not implicitly obeying his superior
officer. But even had Forrest dis
obeyed it was no excuse for Gen.
Thomas to revenge himself upon
Mississippi and Alabama and subject
them to a Sherman torchlight pro-
cession. They had suffered destruc-
tion enough.
But it was Forests purpose to re-
store kindly feeling between the di-
vi nd To oil h Sc
soldiers and friends to the situation
"a reconciliation which could have
been effected in five years had not
the North ordered otherwise in sub
jecting the South to a second inva-
sion, known as Reconstruction"

Soldiers: By an agreement, made
between Lieut.-Gen. Taylor, com
manding the Department of Ala
bama and Mississippi and East
Louisiana, and Maj.-Gen. Candy,
commanding the United States for
ces, the troops of this department
have been surrendered.
L DO not think 1t proper or neceS-
Sary at this time to refer to the
causes which have reduced us to this
extremity. That we are beaten is
self-evident fact, and any further re-
Sistance on our part would be the
height of folly and rashness. The
armies Of Gems. Lee and Johnston
having surrendered, you are the last
of all the troops Of the Confederate
States Army, east of the Mississippi,
to lay down arms.
The cause for which you have so
long and so manfully struggled, and
for which you have braved dangers,
endured privations and sufferings,
and made so many sacrifices, is to-
day hopeless. The government
which you sought to establish and
perpetuate. is at an end. Reason die
tates and humanity demands that no
more blood be shed. Fully realizing
and feeling that such is the case, it
is your duty and mine to lay down
our arms, submit to the powers that
be-" and to aid in restoring peace,
establishing law and order through
out the land.
The terms upon which you were
surrendered are favorable, and
should be satisfactory and accepta-

When you find ducks suffering

1t is useless to hatch hundreds of
birds with feeble constitution as a
result of degenerate stock. You
may give them the very best care

ties will be many This, because
they have insufficient force to enable
them to battle through the stage of
feathering. Ducks will not be grown
as successfully from degenerate
stock as will chicks. Just why so
many breeders will neglect to ar
range for new males to head their
flock every two years, can not be
understood. Every variety of fowls,
