Confederate Cavalry.

New Orleans Picayune.l
The Southern cavalry was wholly vol
unteer force, but made up of young men
who we're adept in horsemanship, and ac-
customed to the use of fire. arms, and under
the training and leadership of such great
cavalry chiefs as j. E. B. Stuart, Wade
Hampton, Fitzhugh Lee, Joe Wheeler, and
that Incompatible natural soldier with no
previous knowledge or training, Bedford
Forrest, they came to be the equals of any
light cavalry in the world, and under the
command of Stuart and Hampton, re-
spectively. they performed feats that made
Europe ring with plaudits. One of these
was Stuart's raid around McClellan's army
near Richmond, just before the beginning
of the Seven, Days battles there in 1862.
Stuart, with 1900 cavalry, rode around
McClellan's army of over 105, 900 men, of
whom $500 were mounted. He burned
McClellan's wagon trains, destroyed his
stores and burned his transports loaded
with provisions, on the Pamunkey River,
and returned to Richmond with captured
horses and cattle and full knowledge of
of the enemy's position. Stuart was NOR
tally wounded at Yellow Tavern, Va, in
May, 1864, when he defeated Sheridan,
who was making cavalry attack on Rich
mond.
Wade Hampton, who succeeded to the
cavalry command on the death of Stuart,
met and defeated Sheridan at Trevylans
Station, in Virginia, in an attempted raid
during the Wilderness compaign in June,
On Lees rear. These exploits of Stuart
and Hampton were made the special sub
jects of lectures to officers at famous
French cavalry school soon afterwards.

Meeting of Loudon Butler Camp.

A regular meeting of Loudon Butler
Camp No. 400, U. c.. ", was held in Ben
ton August s, 1918. A quorum being
present, the camp proceeded to business.
Adiu,ant J. S. Alison stated in his report
that both State and national dues had been
paid; that, although now resident of
South Carolina, Capt. Thomas Lyles had
sent in his dues, expressing desire to re-
main member of the camp.
The camp discussed the ACCESSIBILITY of
having book published similar to the one
gotten up by the Ike Turner Camp of Polk
County, Texas, a copy of which was sent
to Comrade |. H. Martin by Mr.. T. j. Baten,
whose father was formerly resident of
Bossier Parish. This book contains short
history of the local company; short bio
graphical sketches of the members of the
camp and the names of the commands in
which the volunteers from Polk County
served in during the Confederate War.
While the camp does not feel financially
able to carry out the plan by themselves
they being few in number-still there are
many residents of Bossier Parish who do
not belong to the camp who am sure are
interested enough to aid "these faithful
few" thereby having short biographical
sketch of loved father, uncle or brother,
who has passed over the "great divide :"
handed down to coming generations. A
history of Bosser Parish and the part she
took in the struggle should be in the homes
of every resident of Bossier Parish-a book
that should appeal to every one whose
loved ones passed through that fiery ordeal.
Think over the matter, friends, and see
what you can do. would advise the ap-
pointment of committee to look it over,
also.
The following delegates were elected to
attend the reunion in October at Monroe:
Delegates, j. S. Alison, E. M. Laughlin

Sponsor, Miss Eppie Nattin; first maid OF
honor, Miss Julia M. Elston; second maid
of honor, Miss Matte Belle Scanland
Chaperone, Mrs. L. G. Smith.
There being no further business, the
camp adjourned to meet the second Friday
in March, 1914.

Justice Chase and all great Constitutional
lawyers was that Mr.. Davis was no traitor
He was released, not as an act of mercy,
but because he could not be convicted"
