DEEDS OF DARING DONE
DURING POPE'S RETREAT
Southern Veteran Tells OF Raid Into
S'rthern Lines una Near-Cnpture
of iencrnl.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch
Sir.-Apropos of the many recitations
OF deeds Of bravery and daring enacted
By soldiers of the Southern army, which
l see from time TO time in tho Con.
federate Column of your estima bile
paper, l ask space to record an Incl.
dent which occurred soon after the
battle OF Cedar Mountain. When Gem
eral Pope was on his retreat from that
battlefield toward Manassas Junction,
ana just before the second battle OF
MANASSAS, part OF General Fitzhuyh
Lees command was ordered from camp
on the Rappahannock TO go upon a IA i,l
eve knew from the nature of the
order).
About 10 o'clock we struck the South.
ern Railway at Catletts Station. in
the midst OF pouring rain. where we
found General Pope had his headquar-
tcrs. We captured his Headquarters
tent and part of his uniform, he
getting out In double quick order The
Fcderals found out our approach In
some way, and massed considerable
force on the side of the road along
which we had to enter the station and
very near TO Pope's headquarters This
force fired upon us as we charged into
the place, and, of course, threw us into
some disorder, killing some of our
horses. But for this we might have
captured General Pope. AS 1t was, we
captured many wagons. horses, etc. All
this time terrific thunderstorm was
raging, and II wac as dark as pitch
except for the firing and lightning.
The object Of the raid was. of course
to tear up railroad and telegraph com
munication to Washington. We were
engaged in this work about one halt
mile north Of the station. when some
officer asked IL any one would volunteer
to climb the telegraph post and cut tho
wire. Eugene NJ. Redd, Company G.
Fourth Virginia Cavalry, did volunteer
climbed the post and attempted to cut
the wire. but with poor success, az
think his sabre was the only thing
he had with which TO cut, at least the
most effective. All this time the rain
and lightning were fierce. The Fed
erals were on the opposite side of the
railroad and firing also, but we could
only see from the lightning flashes, ns
II was still pitch dark.
We returned through strip OF land
on which the Federal wagons were
packed. Most of them we set on fire
Many OF the wagoners cut loose the
horses and escaped with them TO the
brush. 1t was SO dark one could not
tell friend from foe. I halted mem
Der of my company and asked what
command he belonged to. and he re-
piled. Eighth Illinois"

Sir,-ln one OF your recent editions
! see your Mayor had approved and
put his seal on $4,000 monument
to our beloved Robert E. Lee. / love
the memory of that grand man, as my
own father fought under his guiding
hand ana, 8 child. would sit for
hours listening to the thrilling stories
OF Lee and his soldiers. My history
could not tell of those long, weary
years nearly 80 we'll as father, and
even as a child. my heart ached for the
ones who gave up their loved ones
to serve the land OF their birth NV
father has joined In Heaven the noble
Lee, and has left in the hearts of his
children. and grandchildren, a memory
no stone or mortar has to remind us
of the soldier. Do we need a monu-
ment to keep in mind such a man?
say no, for in our beloved State
there are little children crying for
food, and across the water comes the
cry for bread. Have we the right to
build monuments to our dead when
the living are holding out hands for
food?
knowing the life of General Lee as
we do, would you think he would APP
prove such an act?
In the mountains are novels that
should put our people to shame.
have been doing a work among these
people for several years, and when
go into a howell where there are
from four to ten of the most miserable
waits my heart fairly cries out to our
people to find some way TO help these
reelected waits. To think what $4,000
could DO for the mountain waits.
Instead Of a monument why not
build chapels in the destitute places
or homes for the mountain waif.
Would not this be far better a memo
rial to Robert E. Lee than any stone
you could erect?

financial help l have is what ask for.

but this don't feed the great number

to help those In need, nut when you
are hampered by the lack Of means 1t

much money put into something that
will not help suffering humanity
There are many good men In your

History and genealogy are so near
akin. and the Society OF Colonial DANES
of America in the State of Virginia
having done more to preserve pure
Senealogy than any other association
In the State, II seems most appropriate
TO begin the Genealogical Column this
week With the account OF q most in
tcresting occa sion which will take place
the last of this month-!ndeed, two in
teresting occa sions.
General Braddock made the highway
from Alexandria to Winchester famous
the eighteenth century. The exact
route OF his army has been determined,
and the Virginia Danes are putting
three markers 10 perpetuate the mem
Org OF this famous and romantic mar
tial journey from one Colonial town TO
the other.
One memorial is TO stand in Alexan-
dria. the other al Aide, in Loudoun
County and the third at Winchester.
The form and nature OF two of these
memorials are most appropriate and in
teresting. They Will be the cannon
used by General Braddock himself and
presented to the DANES by the Mt.
Vernon Chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. These cannon
Will be mounted on base Of stone
The one at Alexandria Will rest on a
most artistic base made of the cobble
stones when once paved the streets
OF that historic old town These cob
bles were laid in the street of Alexan-
dria by the Hessians
The unwilling at Alexandria will take
place in that city on the 26th of May.
The unveiling at Winchester will take
place on the 27th of May
Mrs. Benjamin Ladd Purcell, as chair
man OF the Braddock Road for the Eir-
ginia DANES. has conducted the whole
business with much energy. skill and
discretion. Her assistant in Alexandra
is Miss Rose Macdonald; a Winchester.
