Of Southern shell and shot—

A Confederate Story.
THE LETTER THAT CAUSED A DESER
TION—EXTRACT FROM A SOUTH
ERN EX-GENERAL’S SPEECH IN
, ALABAMA.
At a recent pol'tical gathering
in Tuscumbia, Ala., Gen. Cullen
A. Battle, related the following
touching story in the course of his
siiccch:
During tho winter of 1863-’64j
it ivas my fortu.no. to be PresSlent
of 0110 of the coiirts-marshal of the
Army of Northem Virginia. One
bleak December morning, while
the snow covered the ground and
the winds howled around our
camp, I left my bivouac fire to at
tend tlio session of the court.—
Winding for miles along uncertain
paths, I at length arrived at the
court ground at ltound Oak
Church. Day after day, it had
lieen our duty to try the gallant
soldiers of that army, charged
with violations of military law;
hut never had I on any previous
occasion, lieen greeted by such
anxious spectators as on that
morning awaited the opening ot
the court. Case after case was
disposed of, and at length the c:isc
of ’ The Confederate States vs.
Edward Cooper’ was called—
charge, desertion. A low mur
mur rose spontaneously from
the battle-scarred spectators, as a
young artilleryman arose from the
prisoners’ bench, and, in response
to the question, 'Guilty, or not
guilty?’ answered, 'Notguilty.’
The *Tudge Advocate was pro- (
ceding to open the prosecution, | an( T sa ‘ ( T -
when tho court, observing that 1 Toft,
the prisoner was unattended by
counsel, interposed and inquired
of the accused, 'Who is your
counsel?’ lie replied: 'I have
no counsel.’ Supposing that it
was liis purpose to represent him
self before the court, the Judge
Advocate was iustrtucted to pro
ceed. Every charge and specifi
cation against tho prisoner was
sustained. The prisoner was then
told to introduce his witnesses,
lie replied, 'I have no witnesses.’
Astonished at the calmness Yvith
which he seqmed to lie submitting
to what he regarded as inevitable
fate, I said to him: * TT
' What did you do when you re
ceived this letter?’ He replied :
' I made application for a furlough,
and it was rejected; again, I made cvcr
application, and it was rejected ;
a third time I made application,
and it was rejected; and that night
as I wandered backward aqd for
ward in tlic camp, thinking of my
home, with the mild eyes of Lucy ' v j is l
looking up to me, and the burn
ing words of Mary sinking in ray
brain, I was no longer the Confed
erate soldier, but 1 was the father
of Lucy and the husband of Mary,
and I would have passed those
lines if every gun in the battery
had fired at inc. I went to my
home. Mary ran out to meet me,
her angel arms embraced me, and
she whispered: ' Oh ! Edward, I
am so happy ! I am so glad you
got your furlough!’ She must
have felt me shudder, for she
turned pale as death, and catching
her breath at every word, she
said: 'Have you come without
your furlough? Oh, Edward,
Edward, go back! go back! Let
mo and my children go down to
gether to tho grave, hut oh, for
heaven’s sake, save the honor of
our name !’ And here I am, gen
tlemen, not brought here by mili
tary power, hut in obedience to
the command of Mary, to abide
the sentence of your court.’
Every officer of that court-mar
tial felt the force of the prisoner’s
words. Before them stood, in
beatific vision, the eloqueut plead
er for a husband’s aud a father's

K. E. Lee, Gen’I.
During the second battle of
Cold Harbor, when shot and shell
were falling ' like torrents from the
mountain cloud,’ my attention
was directed to the fact that one
of our batteries was being silenced
by the concentrated fire of the en
emy. When I reached the batte
ry, every gun hut one had been
dismantled,
itary Cohfcder
the blood streaming from his side.
As he recognized me, he elevated
| his voice above the roar of battle
presenting.' tho ground floor of
Ivi|ig Solomon’s Temple, the iden
tical tesscl which surrounds it, mid
the blazing star in tlic centre. On
his right arm, and artistically exe
cuted in the same indellible liquid,
were the emblems pertaining to
the fellow-craft’s degree, viz
The square, the level, and the
plumb. There were also the five
columns representing the five or
ders of architecture—The Tuscan,
Doric, Ionic, Coriuthian, and
Composite.

A itiniarkablo Masonic Incident.
Tlic first Mafeonic funeral that
occurred'in California took
in 1849, and was performed
over a brother found drowned in
the hair of Sau Frunci*eo. An ac
count’of the ceremonies states,
that op the body of the deceased
was (oiiiid, a silver mark of a
Masoa, upo« which were .engraved
tho initials of his •name. A little
further investigation revealed to
the beholder the most singular ex
hibition of Masonic emblems that
was over drawn by the ingenuity
of-ifiau upon the human skin.
There is nothing in the history of
traditions of Freemasonry equal
to it. Beautifully dotted on his
left arm, in red and blue ink,
which time could not efface, ap
pealed all the emblems of the en
tire' 1 apprenticeship. There was
the Holy Bible, square aud com
pass, the tiventy-four inch gauge
and common gavel. There were
Wau Lee.
HIS TROUBLES IN THE MELLICAN
COUNTRY.
Mr. William Lee, of the Onta
rio street laundry, has not left
Cleveland, although he has not
appeared of late in the newspa
pers. The fact is, that’Mr. Lee
has devoted himself strictly to
business during the last six or
eight months, and has thereby
amassed a small amount of cash,
which is destined to be expended
in carrying him again to his ua-
tive land over the salt. Salt sea.
But before leaving, it Is simply
an act of justice, to state that Mr.
Lee has attempted faithfully to
submit to heathenism of this (to
him) benighted country, and if he
docs not .carry away a fair impress
of hospitality, or with feelings of
love toward Brother Jonathan, the
fault has not been his, hut that of
the angular brother, on whose
bosom lie attempted to lean. But
it will he simply an act of justice
to friend Wau, to allow him to
explain his own feelings, as he
did on Saturday last, in convers
ing with a Leader reporter. He
unburdened himself as follows :
' Me no likec dam Mclican man.
Mclican mau comee into my lauud-
ly» spittec on floor, chew, chew.
Bringee, shirtcc, say: 'Thust,
Wau Lee?’ Wau Lee say, 'No
thust: thust dead.’ Mclican man
say, 'ltat-catcr, I punchcc.’—
Punches Wau Lee’s head, pulls
his pig-tail. Wau Lee ruus chop
—chop head to fleece officer.
Fleece officer say, ' Cheap John—
one, two, three—bounce.’ Shakcc
also the Masonic Pavement, re- ?, 1 ? pig-tail and says, 'Climb.’
■ Wau Lee cluuhs—comec home,
Melican man steal shirt and he
climb too.’
-Wau Lee attempted to go to
Sunday school, and his history is
as follows:
' Me go on Slundly day to Joss
house. Me takce settee and Meli
can man’s lioyoe come long, Boyee
say, ' Here’s China.’ Moreboyccs
come. Pull pig-tail and say,
' Blully for China man.’ Me get

Mclican YvomiuV looks at me and

'Him nig.’ One speakee low,
too, and say,' Him rat-eater.’ Me
gettec mad and say, ' Me Chiua-
man—me washce-washee. No

Coductor run in. Him say,
* Who’s up!’ Melican woman say,
' Dirty Chiua ’suit me.’ Coduc
tor he takce my stampees and he
say,' get.’ Wau Lee gets, fall ou
the ground ahd hreakee nose;
fleece officer comes up. He say.
‘ Drunk again, Chinee.’ Me say,
No drunk.’ He say, 'Too thin.’
Takee me by collar and takce me
Judge say, ’Here

teu dolle and fifty cents. Me go

Talking.
One of tlic most inevitable signs
of the rare attainment of good
breeding,‘ is to always talk in
company; talk constantly. I al

importance. It you don’t have
anything of consequence to com
municate,, talk anyhow; don’t lis
ten to what other people are say
ing ; it will look stupid of you,
and they will conceive the opinion
at once, that you are not posted
up with the times
Now there is my neighbor, Mrs
Sprcaducws, she always talks, and
people know that she is.posted

regularly moved, and tlic tight

so as to make sure of the stray

The mittens used for handling hot

the machinery' is cleaned, and
even the aprons of the workmen,
arc saved for tiic same purpose.
From these sources, from three to
ten thousand dollars arc annually
realized.
