The Story of a fceAiyee.
BV M. T. M.
Soft winds make melody among the
leaves this lair sutnftier morning; birds
are singing merry among the branches
of the elm that shades rav .window
and a few sunbeams that have strayed
ihronghtthe thick, green canopy, are
danc ng gaily over my paper, as it
they would lore me into the greet)
fields.
But while my eyes roam over the
beautiful scene around, my thoughts
wander far away, to one more lone
ly.
I see again the green valley with
its girdle o» dark mountains. A blue
river winds t(trough wood and mead
ows, bearing the gifts silver streamlets
have brought, with laughter and song,
from springs that gush from the
mountain’s brow to the Monongahe-
la.
Mv thoughts fiud their centre on a
gentle eminence near its banks, where
a white cottage once stood, embower
ed among stately trees. Vines clam
bered over the portico and festooned
the windows, and the carefully kept
yard was fill* d with beautiful shrubbe-
rv. A casual observer would have
thought it a home where peace and j
happiness dwell—and such it was. |
Sorrow but seldom found a place with- j
in those walls. Fain would my pen
pause to tell of those happy days; tain
would I strive to believe the scenes of
the past year have been hut a fearful
dream. But tin- sadness resting on each
brow, and the silent aching ot my own
heart, recall me to the sad reality. The
shadows that, during the past year, 1
have darkened so many homes have
fallen upon ours, too.
One year ago I had a brother—a
youth of twenty summers—named
Edward. When Virginia roused herself
for the conflict, and called her sous to
rally around her standard, he grasped
the sword, and resolved to die, if need
be, in her defence. Many of his friends
and companions also volunteered; and
one morning, fair with June sunshine,
and fragrant with the breath of her
roses they bade adieu to home and
friends, and marched away to join the
little army that lay between us and the
foe.
A few weeks after, tidings came
that our army was falling back before
a superior force oft be enemy.
Only those who have learned by
bitter experience (alas! how many such
there are) can realize the feelings of
those who expect t 0 be left to the
mercy of our remorseless foo; and how
doubly painful the fear and suspense
are when it is known there are individ
uals in the community willing, and
•■veil desirous, to aid the enemy in their
deeds of wickedness. There were such
among us, and we could see their ex
ultant looks as we heard the slow,
sullen retreat of our small force aud I
the boastful advance of the enemy.
The army made a stand a few miles
from our village, and resolved to await
an attack there. The enemy paused
awhile, then began to move forward
again.
Putting our trust in Him who rules
on high, we endeavored to await the end
calmly. We knew our soldiers would
fight as men defending our homes
should fight; but we trembled some
times, when we considered the vast
inequality of our forces—for our fate
hung upon the issue, and we knew
not what might happen to our loved
in that little band.
One day Edward came to sec us.
He was very cheerful and hopeful.
“Do not tear the result. We will
have an immense force to contend
against; but we have justice on our
side, and think we will certainly gain
the victory, unless some unforeseen
disaster occurs,” were his parting
words.
The next morning the roar of can
non and the rattle of musketry awoke
the sleeping echoes of the mountains.
When the night closed, our army
was retreating. Our brave soldiers
bad fought as only they could fight,
and notwithstanding the immense odds
against them, had covered the ground
with Yankee slain, and might have
gained a victory, but a traitor guided
the enemy to their rear, and they
could only save themselves by hasty
retreat. A few of their heroic band
were left dead upon their field of glo
ry, but the loss was small compared
with that of the enemy.
brother Edward passed unhurt
through the thickest of the tight; and
that evening, weary, and begrimmed
with the smoke and dust of battle, he
paused to bid farewell to the home
that would know him no more.
Tlie next morning we looked for
the last time upon our home. It never
appeared more beautiful, never seem
ed more dear, than when we left it,
not knowing whether we would ever
behold it again. We gazed through
blinding tears, until the tops of the
Jofty oaks were lost in the distance
tldnking how the feet of the foe would
desecrate every spot, and his hands
deligh to spoil whatevter was dear to
us.
We hoped the enemy would be
driven back in a few weeks; but weeks
have lengthened into months and
monthsinto a year, and he still has pos
session ofour valley.lt has been made a
waste, and where our home was is
now-a heap of ashes.
A few months since, a fierce battle
was fought in the western part of ottr
Statp; and there, wlien the battle rag
ed hottest, my brother Fdvvard fell,
pierced through the breast by a bul
let. A short time after he received the
wound, a comrade w r ent to his side,
raise 1 his head and spoke to him.
“ Tell mother,” Edward 6aid feebly,
and hen his voice sank to a low whis
per. f he soldier bent his head tocatch
nis words, but could only hear him
“Fatacr—sister—all—Heaven.”
I’naantly exultant cheers were
heard; Edward opened his eyes aud
lifted his head; the enemy were retreat
ing in confusion; loud and clear l.e
shouted “Victory;” the blood gushed
afresh from his wound—he sank back
in the soldier’s arms, and iny brother
was dead. Our Father, who art in
heaven, Thy will be doue.
They laid his bright head under the
sod that was wet with his blood; no
stone marks bis resting place, but he
sleeps among the nameless dead who
fell upon that glorious field.
There lies before me now a letter,
penned by him on the evening previ
ous to his death He writes:
“I have passed unhurt through many
dangers, but this fact does not make
me think I am not to fall in this war.
I am willing to die for my country,
and, would only live that I might aid
to the last in rescuing her from the
hands of those who plot her ruin. Each
dav our cause grows nearer my heart
until it has almost become a part of
my being. If it is to be my fate to die
a soldier’s death and I could choose
time and place, I would have it on a
battle field in Western Virginia. I
would like to fall in the thickest of
the fight, and be buried among the
grand old mountains, whose air 1 have
always breathed 1 . Here, far away from
the busy haunts of men, how sweetly I
would sleep.”
His wish was granted.
Our cup of sorrow was not yet fill 1 .
I bad a sister named Grace, a frail,
beautiful child, with mild blue eyes
and Haxen ringlets.—After Edward’s
death her check grew pale; when she
smiled, it was a smile of heavenly
sweetness, and her eyes beamed with
a light that was not of earth. One
spring day she laid down upon her bed
and never rose again.
It was on a balmy May evening we
assembled in her room to see her die.
She gave each one a tender, loving
farewell—looked for the last time up
on the earth; robed in all the beauty
of spring—let the fragrant air play
on her check and lift her curls—then
bowed her head on our mother’s bosom
closed her eyes, clasped her hands, and
went down to the shores of the dark
river; trustingly, she laid her hand in
that of Death, and was safely borne
across the Hood.
How lovely she was when robed for
the grave, flowers gemming her hair
and breathed out their fragrance on
her bosom! In one hand was clasped
a withered boquet, one she had gath
ered the morning we left our home.
Two days before her death, she had
asked to see it, oil returning it to me,
requested that I would place it there
when she was dead.
I have one brother left, a boy just
entering bis teens, who longs to fill the
place left vacant in the army by Ed
ward, and revenge bis death.
When we left our home, Time’s
fingers had not silvered a thread of my
mother’s glossy brown hair; but now
each day, as I brush out the long thick
masses, I see how fast it is becoming
gray. But one earnest look at her pa
tient face, that wears the sweet old
smile, would convince you she had
learned the lesson of Peace. When the
vain inquiry, so often in our hearts,
rises to our lips, “The end, when will
it be?” she afcvays answers, in her
low, musical tones, “When God pleas-
C8.”
TJic Lnlr €«ru. Vnu Dora — A Card from Him
Ktall*.
Mobile, May 15th, 1SG3.
K<Ji tors Advertiser and Register:
We, the undersigned, members of the
late Gen. Van Dorn’s staff, having seen
with pain and regret the various mmort
afloat In tUo public press, in relation to the
circumstances attending Him
deem it our duty to make a plain state
ment of the facts in the case.
Gen. Van Dorn was shot in his own
room, at Spring Hill, Tenn., by Dr. Pe
ters, a citizen of the neighborhood. He
was shot in the hack of the head, while,
engaged in writing at his tatde, and entire
ly unconscious of any meditated hostility
on the part of Dr. Peters, who had been
left in (lie room with him apparently in
friendly conversation scarce fifteen minutt s
previously, by Major Kimmel. Neither
Gen. Van Dorn nor ourselves were sus
picious in the slightest degree of enmity
in the mind of Dr. Peters, or we would
certainly not have left them alone together
nor would Gen. Van Dorn have been shot,
as we found him five minutes later sit
ting in his chair, with his back towards his
enemy.
There had been friendly visits be
tween them up to the very date of the
unfortunate occurrence.
Gen. Van'Dnrn had never seen the dau
ghter of his murderer but once: while his
acquaintance, with Mrs. Peters was such
as to convince us, his staff officers, who
had every oppoitunity of knowing that
there was no improper intimacy between
them ; and for our own part, we are led to
believe that there were other and darker
motives, from the fact that Dr. Peters had
taken the oath of allegiance to the United
States Government, while in Nashville,
about two weeks previously—as we*are in
formed by refugees from that city—tl a’ lie
had remarked in Columbia, a t hart time he
fore, “ that he had lost his land and ne
groes in Arkansas, hut he thought he
would shortly da something which would
get them hack and finally, that bavin a
beforehand torn down fences and prepared
relays ot horses, lie made his escape ac-
cross the country direct to the enemy’s
lines.
Such is the simple history of the affair,
and We trust that in hare justice to the
memory of a gallant soldier, the papers
'hat have given publicly to the false ru
men* above alluded to—rumors alike in
jurious to the living and to the dead—will
give place in their columns to this vindi
cation of his name.
