In the conclusion of the prece
ding chapter we were.quietly rest
ing by the roadside in front of tlie
little habitationvifothe monotonous
pine forests in Southeast Georgia,
where our gallant young friend
parted with his pocket Testament,
to the young lady who so beseech
ingly asked him for it. This was
probably like.drawing one of his
eye-teeth,'for it- may have been
given him with a parting kiss by a
loving mother, or presented by an
admiring sweetheart, with the re
quest that he should live up to its
precepts during the war; but how
could lie ref use; the importunity of
one so beautiful in natural simplic
ity, though bred in a land so re
mote from the school-house as hot
to be able to distinguish between
a book and a pine-knot.
Again taking up the line of
march, wq reached Tebeanvillefon
the A. & G. R R., late in the even
ing, and boarded the train next
morning for Virginia, via Savan
nah, Ga., Charleston, S. C., ‘Wil
mington and Weldon? N. C., and
thence to Petersburg, reaching the
latter place just in time to assist,
on the 16th of May, 1864, in saving
it from the grasp,of. Butief, whd,
anaconda like? with an army thirty
thousand strong, was hastening to
wrap his strong coils around it.
Foiled in this attempt to gain the
rear of Petersburg, Butler with
drew, and crossed- the James river
at Bermuda-Hundress, Beahre-
gard, who was in command, check
mated this movement of Butler,
by crossing the James too, at Rich
mond. Butler took position on
Grant’s left, and on the 3rd off
June again found himself confront
ed by Beauregard at Cold Harbor.
Now began a series of engage
ments^ .upon the dpubly-historic
grounds ever which the two armies
had fought for six consecutive
days just two years before. Al
though not defeated in these en
gagements, Grant was so complete
ly baffled in hi3 efforts to approach
Richmond via Gold Harb or orMal-
vern Hill,tB at he withdrew to Har
rison’s Landing and City Point, as
M’Clellan did two years before.
From these points lie soon began
investing the two cities, Richinond
knd Petersburg, making slow but
sure inroads upon Lee’s lines of
defense, by continuing to advance
his long quadrantal line of inva
sion, until at. length,he ; s.uJc.eeded
in penetrating Lee’s lines, and
turning his right on the 1st of
April, ib’65, and on the 2nd was
fought the battle of Five Oaks,
which was the last, br terminating
battle between the two contending
armies* u Lee was npw placed un
der the painful necessity of sur
rendering to the sword of victory,
and giving up the city he had so
signally defended for nearly three
years. The sjirrhnder was made
at Appofoattox C. H., on the 9th
of April, 1865.
In the meantime, however, in
December, 1864; ■ our division
(Hbfee’s; Lwus detached from the
Army of Northern Virginia, and
sent to Wilmington, N. 0., to as<--
sist in defending Fort Fisher
against the combined - attack of
powerful land and naval forces fit
ted out fdr the .-jqufipidse. This
Malakoff of the Confederacy fell
ofi tlfo 15th of January, 1865. Soon
after this we withdrew, retiring
into the interior of North Caroli
na, closely pursued by Schofield
and Terry, who commanded at
Fort Fisher.oH the : Federal side.
Thef overtook us at Eington, on
the 8th ofi March, when a fierce en
gagement of wo days’ duration en
sued. We again retired, and on
the 16th formed a junction -with
the remnant of Hood’s shattered
army, at Averasboroj now again in
the last extremity, commanded b}'
Georgia and the Carolihas,,to-join
Grant in Virginia. Sherman had
by this time reached as far . as
Goldsboro. - The two armies at
one© prepared to meet each other,
and at Bentonyille, on the 19th,
Johnson and Sherman again cross
ed swords, and another hostile
meeting took place between the
two armies, resulting in another
life and death 'struggle, involving
the entire strength of the two ar
mies. This was the last battle
ever fought east of the Mississip
pi,—indeed, it was the termina
ting battle of the war. Soon after
this, on the 18th of April, a per
sonal interview, under a flag of
truce, took place at Chapel Hill,
N. CL, between Jchnstoh and
Sherman, in : which a memoran
dum of capitulation and surrender
was formally agreed to and signed
by them. Just at this critical mo
ment wheu.the dreaded crisis had
come, and the war had reached its
culrqinating point, two very un
fortunate things for the Southern
people happened. President Lin
coln was assassinated by J. Wilkes
Boothe, at Ford’s Theatre, in
Washington City, qii the night of
the 14th of April, and the memo
randum of capitulation agreed to.
by and between Johnston and
Sherman, was disapproved by An
drew Johnson, the. newly install
ed President. Thus disrobed Of
all power and .every prerogative,
Johnston opened a {second truce
with Sherman on the 28th of
April, by which we were surren-
dered. art. Greensboro, upon terms
similar to those agreed upon by
and between Lee and Grant at
Appomattox 0. H., on the 9th.
On the 28fch of May following, and
just one month subsequent, .to the
date of the surrender of Johnston,
Kirby Smith Surrendered the
Trans-Mississippi - Army. Three
days after this on the 29th, ’Presi-'
dent Johnston issued his procla
mation announcing the facts, and
declaring the war at an end,
Thus ehdend the lamentable
and never-to-be-forgotton war,
which had been Waged with all the
energy and skill which brave men
with swords and guns in their
hands could command, through
the grievous duration of a little
upwards of four years.
And how, in conclusion, as wS
have indulged in some fun and ro
mance in the preceding chapters
or this story, we will offer, in Phis,
as a fitting tribute to ihe vblor
and patriotism, of those whose anisr
fortune it was to be numbered oh
the vanquished side, that in the
the beginning, of the war they es
poused the cause for which they
so earnestly contended withall the
zeal and manhood which men to
the manor bom were capable of
exercising, and this zeal was as un
relenting in the end as it was in
the „ beginning. -They fought
tliroiigbut the war with a despera
tion almost equal‘to that oi the
oath-bound Spartan league at
Thermopylae; and never did they
obtain their, consent t6- sheailie
their swords, trail their colors and
stack their guns till they had been
overwhelmed by numbers, the last
fulcrum knocked from under them,
and they found themselves hanked
out of the last refuge, and starva.-'
tion seemed to stare the hungry
army in the race. . •
With the close of the war came
the exultant clamor raised by some
of the would-be leaders among pur
conquerors, characterizing; Ihe
cause for which ‘the Southern peo
ple had so earnestly confended,
the “lost cause;”-' but it was not
lost, it only slept, to be aroused
from its .giddy | slumber by the
frightful dreams of human ’ op
pression and down-trodden liberty.
While weltering' as it were, in its
own gore, half awake and- half
asleep, it heard the groans of the
oppressed; it heard inutterings low
and solemn, like unto distant
thunder, bringing back to its mem-
y other distant fields. „ - „ . s mu
tt heard and felt the fashing of f§ mud. Ha was Carefally cleaning to go in and take a Ytnnx. Ihis
miqhty political deluge, sweeping ; thtf card with kisfoocket kaudker-j offer wqs made.by a barkeeper in

et, Submerging the .solid timber,: he said,

It saw in its frightful-dreams,
while wrestling with this night
mare, magnificent figure-heads
mounted in Washington 'City,
carved from the ruins of the coun
try; it saw a rich paternal govern
ment endeavoring to give itself
lordly shape over a poor, robbed
and tax-ridden people. At length
it heard joyous echoes reverber
ating with electric speed from one
■side of the country to the other,
announcing that it had been res
urrected and reorganized by the
highest tribunal in the land; as if
by the touch of a magician’s wand,
it sprang wide-awake to its feet,
plumed in fall manhoodj the spell
had.been broken,: -.arid returning
reason had been enthroned. Feel
ing Jkak it-: had been recognized,
and conscious of growing strength,
it at ODce began to think of as
suming the reins of government;
and,like the fabled dragon’s teeth,
which were transformed into an
army of living soldiers by the sim
ple touch of the magic wand of the
sacred oracle of Delphi, it trans
formed itself into a phalanx of
Voters, and at the ballot-box, on
the. mo’rning of November 4th,
1884, if shouted in thunder tones,
“Sic SemperTyrannis,” when down
came the “.Plumed Knight,” with
all of his coadjutors,.' and on’ the
morning of the 5th. the sun of, lib
erty, which it seemed had been’ set
for twenty years, but which had
not been set, but only shut out be
hind the smoke of battle, agaih
rose with- all of his former splen
dor and: brilliancy, lighting up the
country from one side tb the other
’with a brilliancy nearly akin to
that when, by a powerful uprising
-of the people against the combined
strength of the press and moflied

In Berlin resides a wealthy
banker whose patriotic liberality
placed the government under
heavy obligations to him during
the Franco-PrnsBian war. k Bis-
mark and the Emperor ’William
adore the oik man. They invite
him andlhis family to their pal
aces as honered guests. Yet

agfofe made a fataLaffstake..:
-galVg a large bab/Mn sending ink
vitatibhs to thAofflcers^ in Berlin,
he omitted all who were*‘not pf ar
istocratic birth. The consequence
wais that not one of the invited
officers attended the/ball. They
•held that 'the epaulettes worn by
bhb officers made' them all equal,
And to sligM>one was to slight all.
Ihe unhappy banker waited in va|n [
for the^gentlemen of the army 'to
forgefc and forgive. : It is the dream
of his life to see ah . officer dance
with his; daughter. Recently at a
court ball the-young lady was neg
lected, as usual, by the: officers,
when the Emperor .suddenly form
ed to one .of his most brilliant cap-
tainp and commanded him to
lance with ?the banker’s daughter.
-The captain walked tip to tfoe os-;
tyacified:'girl and said coldly, “may .
I-have the honor?’’; - The' couple
took onp-forii around the room,
foe officer brought his partner
back to her place, made a stiff bow
And left Bbn The Fmperor saw
that the case was hopeless, and did
not again interfere. In any other
oonntry a wealthy family in such
high favor at coiirt would'-be‘ ; Mt-

to accept §125 per month for doing
this. We asked “how could he
afford to do this.” He said: “I
would represent a temperance
young man and would just take a
little drink. After going into the
bar we' would, stand about and | he
would feel under obligations to
treat me. But Lwould-.insjst that
I wanted, nothing more, but would
insist that he go ahead and take
what he wanted. This he usually
doe's. Maybe he sees me next day
and then feels that he should in

good scheme to draw custom, aud
