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.” Groceries and Provisions, Bagging and Ties, And am prepared to meet the demands of all who may favor me with their patronage for Plantation Supplies of all kinds, at prices that cannot be excelled in this se^iion.
