UNION ^RECORDER.
France axd kkkmaxy —The ten
sion between France and Germany
caused by the allusions of General
Boulanger and the French Chama-
nists, has largely vanished. The re
lations between the two governments
are now better than they have been
for a long time.
Eviction in Ireland.
Soldiers in the English army, they
say who were engagedin the Woodford
evictions, in Ireland, on their return
to the barracks, protested against
putting helpless, infirm and starving
people, outof shelter into the road
way and declared they would in fu
ture refuse to perform such obnoxious
duty. Their officers could not con
trol! them in their determined indig
nation. Twenty of them were arrest
ed on the charge of mutiny. The
United Ireland says that no power in
Great Britain can collect the “Land
lord’s tribute’* in the face of the organ
ized, united and level headed people.
Mr. Gladstone's land scheme would
settle this difficulty without any
trouble. The Irish Bishops adopted
resolutions declaring the appreciation
of Mr. Gladstone's efforts on behalf
of Ireland and adhere to their de
mand for home rule, asserting that
trouble and disorder both in Ireland
and England would not cease till Ire
land possessed the right to administer
his own laws.
LEE’S SURRENDER.
the impression the news produc
ed ON HIS SOLDIERS.
We had reached Christiansburg late
in the evening of the 10th of April.
The command had halted for the
night and the troops were about to
go into camp, but the column was
still closing up and the larger part of
it was.still on the road. 1 remember
that Gen. Echols and I were dis
mounted and standing upon the turn
pike, surrounded by the soldiers. We
were talking about some ordinary
matter to which I had called his at
tention. Just then Lieut. Clay gal
loped up and asked where he could
find the General. Gen. Echols indi
cated his presence, and Clay ap
proached and silently handed him a
dispatch. Gen. Echols opened and
read it. I instantly perceived that it
contained momentous and disastrous
news. His face became intensely
flushed, and then grew deadly pale.
He quietly requested me to follow him
out of the’ throng. I did so, and when
we were a few paces away he read me
the dispatch, which was from Gen.
Lomax, and in these words: “Gen.
Lee surrendered this morning at or
near Appomattox court house. I am
trying with my own division and the
remnants of Fitz Lee's and Rosser’s
divisions to arrange to make a junc
tion with you."
Although prepared to hear of disas
ter, I had not expected anything so
dreadful as this, and the announce
ment almost stunned me. I can nev
er forget the feeling of utter dismay
and despair with which I heard it, or
the impression it produced upon the
troops when the information reached
them.
Gen. Echols had not intended to im
mediately divulge it. After a brief
conference we agreed that the news
should be concealed, if possible, from
the men until the next day. and com
municated that night only to the
brigade and regimental commanders.
Wo, hoped that some plan might be
devised which would enable us to
hold the troops together until we
could learn what -policy would be
pursued by Mr. Davis, and whether it
would be our duty to endeavor to
join Gen. Johnston.
But. to conceal such a fact when
even on’e man was aware of it was iin-
posssible. Before we had concluded
our brief conversation we knew from
the hum and stir in the anxious, dark-
browed crowds nearest to us, the rest
less oscillation of the long column as a
whist) r fiew along it, the excitement
which soon grew to a tumult, that the
terrible tidings had got. abroad. That
night no man slept: Strangely #s the
declaration - may now sound, there
was not one of the 0,000 or <,000 then
gathered at Christiansburg who had
entertained the slightest thought that
such an event could happen, and,
doubtless, that feeling pervaded the
ranks of the Confederacy.
RICHMOND HAD FALLEN.
We knew that Richmond had fallen.
We knew that the heroic army which
had so long defended Richmond was
in reteat. We knew that it would be
nomadic. That its operations could
no longer be. conducted upon the
methods whjph supported regular
warfare, and that everything necessa
ry to maintain its efficiency was lost.
We could hazard no conjecture as to
what would be done; yet, that the
army of Northern Virginia, with Lee
at its head, would ever surrender, had
never entered our minds. Therefore,
the indescribable consternation’ and
amazement which spread like a confla
gration through the ranks when the
thing was told can scarcely be imag
ined by one who has not had a simi
lar experience.
For four years .the people of the
Southern states had lived under a
separate government of their own,
and had looked upon themselves as
constituting a distinct nationlity.
The very fact that those four years
had been years of struggle, danger
and sacrifice only the more intensi
fied their aspirations for political
separation and independent govern
mental existence.
What at first may have been with
the mass of the population mere pre
judice, as some have claimed, or at
best but an ideal love of the freedom
which, in its widest sense, means the
right of the people of every sovereign
community to control, without inter
ference or restriction, their own
affairs, had grown into an ar
dent wish for the maintennace of the
Confederacy, and a devotion to their
southern land which was limitless.
Previous attachment to their native
soil, all the ideas and traditions they
had been reared to believe and cherish,
all that contributes to make up what
is wise and good, as well as what, in
excess, may be wrong in patriotism,
was .connected in their minds with
the contest in which they were en
gaged and the efforts they were
making. They were almost ready to
believe that all future hope,* and life
itself, depended upon success.
• FELT THE BLOW. KEENLY.
To all who read this, save those who
shared the sentiment, it may seem in
credible that the southern people and
soldiery can have really felt the blow
so keenly. I will ask such skeptics to
imagine the impression that would be
produced upon them by the convic
tion that this country had been sud
denly subjugated by some foreign
power, and was about to be overrun
and permanently occupied by its ar
mies and governed by its agents. The
South expected in defeat to be reduced
to just such a condition. Gen. Lee
and his army had been so identified in
our minds with the Confederate cause,
that to lose them was like taking the
heart from the body.
During all that night officers and
men were congregated in groups and
crowds discussing the news, and it
was curious to observe how the train
ing and discipline of veteran soldiers
were manifested, even amid all this
deep feeling and wild excitement
There was not one act of violence, not
a harsh or insulting word spoken; the
officers were treated with the same re
spect which they had previously re
ceived, and although many of the in
fantrymen who lived in that part of
Virginia went off that night without
leave and returned to their homes
none who remained were insubordi
nate or failed to obey orders with
alacrity.
Great fires, larger and more numer
ous than ordinary camp fires, were
lighted and kept burning. Every
group had its orators, who, succeed
ing each other, spoke continuously.
The men rushed from one crowd to
another, hundreds sometimes collect
ing about a peculiarly fervid speaker.
Every conceivable suggestion was of
fered. Some advocated a guerrilla
warfare; some proposed marching to
the trans-Mississippi, and thence to
Mexico. The more practical and rea
sonable of course, proposed that an
effort to join Gen. Johnston should
immediately be made. Many, doubt
less, thought of surrender, but I do
not remember to have heard it men
tioned.—Gen. Duke in Southern Biv
ouac.
—AND-
Agricultural Implements!
-I have a full stock of-
Mr. Lowell on Christianity.
One of the most serious and notable
of the admirable after-dinner speeches
that made Mr. Lowell so famous in
England has only lately been publish
ed. It was ca led out by some allu
sions to the Christian religion made
in the tone of genteel skepticism
quite common among the literary
men of England. Mr. Lowell took
occasion to remind those enemies of
the religion which is at the very heart
of all there is good in civilization, that
“whatever defects or imperfections
may attach to a few points of the
doctrinal system of Calvin—the bulk
of which was simply what all Chris
tians believe—it will be found that
Calvinism, 05 any other ism which
claims an open Bible and proclaims a
crucified and risen Christ, is infinitely
preferably to any form of polite and
polished skepticism, which gathers as
its votaries the degenerate sons of
heioic ancestors, who, having been
trained in a society and educated in
schools the foundations of which
were laid by men of faith and piety,
now spurn and kick down the ladder
by which they have climbed up, and
persuade men to live without God
and die without hope.*’
"The worst kind of religion.” con
tinued Mr. Lowell, “is no religion at
all; and these men, living in ease and
luxury, indulging themselves in the
amusement of going without religion,
may be thankful that they live in
lands where the gospel they neglect
has tamed the beastliness or ferocity
of the men who, but for Christianity,
might long ago have eaten their car
casses like the South Sea Islanders,
or cut off their heads and tanned
their hides, like the monsters of the
French Revolution. When the mic
roscopic search of skepticism, which
had hunted the heavens and sounded
the seas to disprove the existence of a
Creator, has turned its attention to
human society, and lias found a
place on this planet ten miles square
where a decent man can live in de
cency, comfort and security, support
ing and educating his children un
polluted ; a place where age is rever
enced, infancy protected, manhood
honored, and human life held in due
regard; when skeptics can find such
place ten miles square on this globe,
where the gospel of Christ has not
gone and cleared the way, laid the
foundations, and made decency and
security posible, it will then be in or
der for the skeptical literati to move
tither and there ventilate their views.
But sp long as these very men are de
pendent upon the religion which
they discard for every privilege they
enjoy, they may well hesitate a little
before they seek to rob the Christian of
his hope and humanity of its faith in
that Savior who' alone has given to
man that hope of life eternal which
makes life tolerable and society pos
sible, and robs death of its terror and
the grave of its gloom.”
