The sevcnty-iivc veterans Of the
civil war who represented "Morgan's

ana picturesque Il band of lighting
men as ever figured in warfare, an

1T was fifty years ago last June that
General John ii. Morgan made his dar-
ing raid across the Ohio River and
through Indiana and Ohio. He had
been ordered By General Bragg to
move from tennessee into Kentucky

or Federal gunboat and in the face

Fifty years is twice the average of

why the confcderacy Failed.


Various military writer's have essay
ed TO fix upon some one especial rea-
son why the Southern States failed to
establish by force of arms the indie
pendence proclaimed in their acts Of
secession. Some authors ascribe the
final collapse of the Confederacy 10
lack OF Its leaders to utilize properly
the financial resources furnished by its
cotton and tobacco; others to the inef-
fciency of the subsistence and SUNNY
departments; still others find that the
strategy insisted on by President
Davis of attempting to hold on to ter
ritory scattered the available forces
and deprived the generals of the adj
vantaSes for concentration offered by
interior lines of communication All
of these causes doubtless contributed
something towards rendering abortive
the skill with which Lee and the John
stons handled their forces, and that
almost matchless valor and devotion
amnoS the troops at their command,
which so long gave an appearance Of
doubtfulness to the struggle. But it
Is probable that historians will ut last

a sufficient explanation of the result

DEATH OF SURGEON OF
CONFEDERATE NAVY
Dr. R. B. Green Virgnian Of the Old School, at
Close Of War Between States Became Ranch
man in South America

The death of DR.. r 3. Green recently
at the University of Virginia Hospital
has revived an interesting history of
one of the stanchest Nnginians of the
old school. Dr. Green was Il familiar
figure in Norfolk, and was known by
hundreds here. Among his friends was
Mayor Mayo, and yesterday the Mayor
spoke remniscently of the surgeons
remarkable career.
DR. Green was in the service of the
United states navy prior to the War
Between the States. but when hostili-
ties arose and Virginia seeded from
the Union, DR.. Green rendered his res
ignation and offered himself to the
Confederacy The offer was quickly
accepted. for there was urgent need
of men of the Green calibre. and the
doctor was sent abroad 10 become the
medical officer OF a ship which was
being equipped for the Confederacy.
Prior TO the war he had been grad
uated from the University of Virginia
had received his a. A., and later fin
ished a course in medicine.
Served on IrOnciad.
He was stationed on board the Stone
wall, under Commander Page, another
valor, and the record of this old iron
clad was Il notable one. 1t was not
until some months after Lee had sur
rendered that the Stonewall steamed
into the harbor of Havana. having just
learned that hostilities between the
States had ceased. The ship was taken
in charge by the Spanish government
and turned over to the United States.
At first 1t was thought that the crew
would also be sent back as prisoners,
but this was not done.
There was tense feeling after the
war against the officers and crews of
the Confederate navy. Out in San
Francisco they were classed almost on
n par with pirates. In fact, 1T is said
that many Confederate sailors, who
had been exceptionally active In their
warfare for the South. suffered the fate

South American Refuge.
It was this feeling and belief that
deferred some of the officers of tho
Stonewall from returning to the United
States after their ship had been taken
by the Spaniards at Havana and tho
officers and crew scattered some of
them making for Europe, some remain
ing in Cuba, and others turning to
South America. Among those who went
south were DIR. Green and Captain Will
