NEWSPAPER EDITOR
WRITES WAR SONG
The Marseillaise of the Lost Cause
Was Written in New
Orleans.

The war between the States is al
most forgotten. All that remains to
remind one Of the days OF '6I-'65 are
few of the never-to- be forgotten
war songs. During the Spanish Amer
lean war wearers OF both the blue
and gray fought shoulder TO shoulder
under the Star-Spangled Banner for
the cause of a united nation.
Every one loves to recall the songs
of the Lost Cause. and especially
Maryland! My Maryland" which was
written by a Baltimore boy in April.
1861. At that time he was doing news
paper work on the Daily Delta, in New
Orleans. News had just come to the
Delta ONCE of the attack on the Sixth
Massa chusetts Infantry while the regi-
ment was marching through the streets
OF Baltimore on its way South. Hav-
ing no native composer to write a mel
ody for his beautiful lyric. he adopted
an old German student tune, 20 Tan
nenbaum." Maryland! My Maryland"
became so popular that in less than
two months Alexander IL. Stephens,
vice president of the South's govern
ment. designated this song as The
Marsellaise of the Confederacy."
Two Baltimore bellies, Jennie and
Hetty Carey, sang the song at the
headquarters of Gen. Beauregard. at
Manassas, to the accompaniment Of the
artillery band from New Orleans. The
effect was electrical The whole South
ern army took up the refrain, and
this one Of the Songs that Never Grow
Old' became a fervent battle hymn
of the South. You will find words and
music OF this and all your other old
favorites in The Herald's collection.
