Do Your Trading at
The Private Soldier.
Written for The Citizen.
Justice has never been done
him. His virtuous merit and un
obtrusive patriotism has never
been justly estimated. I do not
speak of the regular soldier, who
makes the army his trade for
twelve dollars per month; I do
not include the coward, who
skulks; nor the vulgarian, who
can perpetrate acts of meanness;
nor the laggard, who must he
forced to fight for his home and
country. These are not the sub*
jects of comment. I speak of the
great body of citizen soldiery who
constitute the provisional army of
the Confederacy, and who at the
sound of the trumpet and drum,
marched out with rifle or musket
to fight—to repel their country’s
invader or perish on the soil
which their fathers bequeathed,
with the glorious boon of civil
liberty. These are the gallant
men of whom I write.
These have made a breastwork
of their manly bosoms to shield
the sacred precinct of altar places
and fireside. Among these private
soldiers are to be found men of
culture, men of gentle training,
men of intellect, men of yvealth,
men who gave tone and character
to the society in which they
moved, and men who for con
science sake have made a living
sacrifice of property^ home, com
fort, and are ready to add crimson
life to the holy offering. Many
of these, if they could have sur
rendered honor and a sense of in
dependence, could have remained
in possession of all these elegan
cies and comforts. But they felt
like the Roman who said, “put
honor in one hand and death in
the other and I will look on death
indifferently.” Without rank,
without title, without anticipated
distinction; animated only by the
highest and noblest sentiments
which can influence our common
nature, the private labors and toils
and marches and fights; endures
hunger and thirst and fatigue
through watchings, and weariness
and sleepless nights, and cheerless,
laborious days he holds up before
him the one glorious prize, free
dom to my country, independence
and my home.
If we can suppose the interven
tion of less worthy motives, the
officer, and not the private, is the
man whose merit must commingle
such allay. The officer may be
come renowned—the private never
reckons* upon that. The officer
may believe in history—-the pri
vate looks to no such record. The
battle has been fought, the victory
won, and the commanding general
has achieved a glorious success;
but that success was attained by
private soldier at the cost of patri
otic blood, of shattered bones and
torn and mangled muscle and
nerves !
I do not mean to underestimate
the officer or disparage his courage
or his patriotism. I draw the par
allel for another purpose,'and that
is to show, if other than the high
est human motive prompts the sol
dier to action, it is the officer, and
not the private, who is not liable
to feel its influence. I have often
felt pained and annoyed at the
flippant reference to the privates,
while the unreasoning speaker
seemed to regard the officer as the
prime and meritorious agent of all
that is done. In those ranks is
an amount of intellect which would
instruct and astonish a statesman.
In those ranks the merit of every
officer and every action is settled
unappealable. In those ranks
there is public virtue and capacity
enougb to construct a government,
and administer its civil and mili
tary offices. The opinion of these
men will guide the historian, and
fix th§ merits 5f generals. The
opinion of these men ought to be
omnipotent with the people. ;
Heaven bless these brave, heroic
men! Our hearts should warm
to them. Our admiration of their
devotion and heroism is without
limit; their devotion to* principle
amounts to moral sublimity. We
feel their sufferings and share their
hopes and desires to be identified
in our days and generation with
such a host of spirits, tried and
true, who bend the knee to no
name but God, and render homage
only to worth and merit.

The Augusta Chronicle says:
“ It is a pitty that so much pub
licity is given to sensational talk
of race troubles and imaginary
conflicts between whites and
blacks. It only serves to make
trouble where none exists and to
furnish excuse for violence.”
