CONFEDERATE DEAD OF MA¬
NASSAS.
T1IE NEOI.ECTKl) CEMEI.KRY NEAR
UROVETOX, VIIUUXIA.
Augusta Chronicle.
Boston, May 25.—Travelers
through those portions of the south¬
ern states which were the fields of
active operations during the late war
will find among the chief points
which attract their attention the gov¬
ernment cemeteries, in which are in¬
terred the remains of those of our
soldiers who fell in defense of the
Union, generally located on some
commanding eminence, prepared at
great expense, systematically arrang¬
ed, often beautifully odorned and
well taken care of by a resident man¬
ger and his staff of associates, in the
pay of the United States govern¬
ment.
I wonder how many think to ask
themselves. “What became of the
poor fellows who fell on the other
side—the Confederates?” and so •’al¬
as relates to those who died at or
near Manassas I will endeavor to an¬
swer the question.
In May and June of ’83 I made a
pedestrian tour through “Old Virgin,
ia,” and while en route from Centre
ville to Warrenton, and quite near
Groveton, my attention was attract¬
ed by a peculiar looking gateway
and fence, built of boards laid hori.
zontally, and entirely different from
‘he ordinary Virginia inclosure. The
gate, also ot wood, was made in two
parts and was spanned by a plain
wooden arch surmounted by a fiuial.
At this jioi.it the road passes
through a cut about seven feet deep,
and as there is not, and never lias
been, any regular approach to tbe
gateway, it was necessary to climb
the bank to get to it. I did this, and,
passing through, I found myself in
what had been an inclosure.
At first sight there is nothing to
indicate the character of the place,
and it was only after some time had
elapsed that I noticed that I stood
among graves, which I afterwards
learned contained the remains of the
Confederate dead who fell in the
battle of Nanassas, 1862.
Never has it been my lot to look
upon a more neglected spot. The sit¬
uation was one well adapted to the
pm pose—a ri.lfpj extending in from
the road about 100 yards.
'I’lie fence extended along the road
for perhaps 800 feet, and this, with
the exception of the gateway, is in
fair condition. The gates, however,
each lmug by a single binge; the
post far out of perpendicular; the
arch and its finial almost ready to
fall; the fer.ee in the rear and much
of that on the sides had eithei en
tirely disappeared or lay rotting up¬
on the ground. The ground itself
was so completely covered with
woods and berry bushes that I did
not realize that I was among the
dead till I felt the graves with my
feet. On inspection I found that the
mounds were in rows extending in
front the road at right augles, and
through the centre vow abioad path¬
way. I tried to count the rows and
tlie munber of graves in each, but
found it impracticable; bid I should
judge there might be 800 lor 1 , 000 .
One grave, and only one, i^ marked
with the name of the occupant, the
5f?
est have no mark whatever. On the
I speak of there is a very neat
&* "! arWo i ‘ ieat istone lone.
' As 1 stl ' olled aboutthe ( place , T I , was
followed by a large white sow with
•flitter of pigs, grunting, squealing
Wl rooting among the gravest
T) ,-re can be no excuse-for this
state of things. The people of Vir¬
ginia are not rich, but they cau cer¬
tainly afford to build a worm fence
around that giaveyard, arid lf they'
have not tbe money fob headstones
let them at least drive the bogs out
*nd sow the land with grass seed. It
(,uite certain Its present
condition it is a disgrace to Vilginia
and to her people, and the srghe of
it should make every Virginian hang
his head for very shame.
On the following day I saw at the
cemetery at Warrenton the monu¬
ment which commemorates the Con¬
federate dead. It is a marble shaft
on a granite base, and surmounted
by a female figure, and is a very cred¬
itable piece of work. It bears an in¬
scription to the effect that it was
erected by GOO of Virginia’s fail
daughters to commemorate the hero¬
ism of her sons. As an old Federal
soldier I sympathize with the object
but I confess that while looking at
it I thought of that forlorn city of
the dead at Groveton, and of its ne¬
glected and disgraceful condition,
mid it occurred to me that it would
have done far more credit to the
judgment of Virginia’s daughters if
they had invested a portion, at least,
of their money in fencing, to keep
the hogs from rooting among the
graves of their kinsmen, on the spot
which was drenched with their blood,
and which was the scene of their
valor, even if thereby it became ne¬
cessary to curtail the fair propoi tious
the marble shaft on the hillsde at
Warrenton.

A few Words Concerning Ventila¬
tion.
Halt's Journal of Health.
Lack of pure air in dwellings is a
direct result of our advancing eilvil
ization, a result, we should say, that
now bids fair soon to he a thing of
the jiast. Until recently the main ob¬
ject in planning houses has been to
make them as nearly air-tight as no-,
sible. They protect their occupants
better from tbe vicissitudes of cli¬
mate than those of a century or more
ago, but they also give them almost
no ventilation. They give more com¬
forts with less healthful surround¬
ings; luxury at the expense of puri¬
ty of Fung food. A dwelling made
tight enough to keep cold air out will
also keep foul air in, unless some
contrivance to allow it to escape is
also used. The houses of our ances¬
tors, being less tight, allowed a free
passage of air out and in, and their
occupants were exempt from many
modern diseases that we now know
to be due to confinement in the foul
air of close rooms. In this respect,
oiu forefathers were better off than
we are.
♦----
The Americas (Ga,) Recorder
makes a good point when it says:
“Did anybody ever hear, in all the
days of slavery, of negro women be¬
ing worked in the cotton field strip¬
ped to tho waist, and wearing only
men’s trowsers? Yet such is the cos
i'i which thousands of Ilunga
nan women are working in the coal
'nines of tbe north, and we listen in
vain for howls of indignation from
philanthropic hearts in that section,
save a scattering few, and they, we
believe, are villainous democrats.”

Daniel Webster once wrote, after
continued provocation, to the editor
ot a newspaper w hich referred to his
not paying his debts. lie said sub¬
stantially: “It is true that I have
not always paid my debts punctual¬
ly Pml that I owe money. One cause
of this is that I have not pressed
those wfio we me. As an instance
of t}|is I enclose your father’s nofe

What Dr. Woodrow Taught.
Augusta Chronicle.
The theory of evolution which Dr.
Woodrow has been condemned for
teaching was substantially explained
bv that gentleman in an address be¬
fore tbe Alumni Association of the
Columbia Theological Seminay', May
7th, 1881. In that address Doctor
Woodrow said that the origin of a
thing may imply either that it came
into existence jlist as it is, f?r that it
passed through the serices of chan¬
ges from a previous state "1 order to
reach its present cogdition. He found
nothipg In the Bible which contra
diets the belief that God immediate
brought into existence each form in
depently; or that contradicts tbe be¬
lief that, having originated one or
a few forms, He caused all others to
spring from these in accordance with
laws which He ordained and makes
operative.
After exhaustively reviewing the
scientific records, I)r. Woodrow drew
the following conclusions:
“In visw of all these facts now
presented—the way in which ani¬
mals have succeeded each other, be¬
ginning as far back as we oan go,
and coming " down to the present;
the , . of resmblanees , , which , . .
senes con
neot them , irom the , lowest to the .
, highest, . , exhibiting , such remarkable
unity . ot . plan; , the , existence ot null-
1 ’
the , geographical , • ,
ir.cntary organs;
distribution . of r animals, , , and , the , close ,
connection of „ that , distribution now
... . . , , :
and m the past; ‘ in view ot ail these
the doctrine of „ descent , . .
tacts
modification, .... which so perfectly , ac
cords , with them all, ,, can.-.ot , be light ,
, !y and contemptuously dismissed. , In
1 *
the enumeration made, I have been
careful to state none but well ascer
tamed , tacts, , which , . , any one ,
’
wishes to lake the time can eastlv -!
verify. Arc not the , .
such as must almost compel belief
of the doctrine, unless it can
proved to the contrary ol other
known truth? For my part I can¬
not but so regard them; and the
more fully I become acquainted with
the facts of which I have given a
faint outline, the more I am inclined j
to believe th^t it pleased God, tbe ! I
Almighty Creator, to create present j
and intermediate j>rst organic forms j
not immediately but mediately, in
accordance with the general plan I '
involved the , , hypothesis , . 1 have
in
been illustrating. Believing, . as , I
,
do, that the Scriptures are almost ,
j
certainly silent on the subject, I find !
it hard to see how auy <)m .. coukl
hesitate to prefer the tl,e‘ hypothesis of
mediate creation to hypothesis
of immediate creation.”
Dr. Woodrow declared that as re¬
gards the soul of man, he believed
it was immediately created. lie re
cognized the methods of evolution
as God’s plan of creation, and as
sucb[to inspire profounded reverence, | j
glory and honor to the Maker and
Giver of Life.
The Chronicle prints this as a mat¬
ter of information to the public at
this time.

Boys and Girls.
Mew Haven Jlegistcr.
“If I bad a dozen children I would
want them all boys,” said Mrs. Thrif¬
ty. “Boys can take care of themsel¬
ves, they are energetic, enjoyable,
and it doesn’t take half so much sew
ing to keep a family of boys along.”
“Now, if I should have lhy choice.”
said Mrs. Workkard, “I should
er have my children all girls. Gills
are so gentle, so helpful, have so
much more refinement than beys;
and then it is such a pleasing to sew
for them, they look so prettily in the
garments made for them.”
“Very well, ladies,” said Mrs. Sen.
sible, “you are both right and wrong,
I believe in a mixed family—part
boys, part girls. Tbe boys influence
tbe givls to self-reliance, the girls
refine the boys by their gentleness.
A boy who is brought up with sis¬
ters makes the most manly man, and
the girl who is brought up with the
brothers makes the most womanly
i wqinaii.”
IT IS ALL ON THE SURFACE
From the Savannah Morning News.
A letter in tbe New York Sun
front Atlanta says that “Although
partaking largely of personal bitter¬
ness, the fierce campaign for Gov¬
ernor between General Gordon and
Major Bacon has vu its origin deep¬
er down than any mere passing aphsfci
of rivalry.” I'lie writer of the let*
ter wishes to be understood as say¬
ing that there arc forces at work in
the South that,will prevent it from,
being solid much longer ill support
of the Democratic party.
It would be interesting to know
what there is in the GordomBacon
campaign that indicates the break¬
ing up of the Democratic party in
the South, or even in Georgia.—
What is it that the writer of the
letter has observed in the campaign
that is “deeper down than any mere
spasm of rivalry?” It is doubtful if
he has observed anything, and the
fact that he doesn’t say what it ip,
and takes the precaution to locate it
deep down where nobody is likely
to get a glimpse of it, is pretty good
evidence that he hasn’t.
It is not a difficult matter to make
assertions like the one in the Atlan
ta letter, , , hut . it is rather difficult to
support them , with iacts. ..
i he only things that have cropped ,
out in the , Gordon-Gacon , ,, campaign .
that , , , have caused , the , least . feeling . ..
have been , entirely . . personal. , Neither , T . .
candidate , , , has indicated ■ i- , policy with ...
. a
respect to any state , matter .. . that
promises . to , bring about , a division ,. . .
,. the Democratic ... . this
party . in
.Stale, , and . ucithcrh ... . as touched . , , upon
national . . questions . at . all. „ x Indeed, j i
the . attention ....... the candidates'have
given to State questions has been so
little that it would puzzle their re
speotive . partisans to . define , c clearly , r
their . . . . with .. recspect . „ to such .
positions
questions. The people of the State
Nave been told aboul f resignations
and rings until they are tired of
hearing of them, and if thdy'b?lievo
all that has appeared in print and
lias been said on the stump deroga¬
tory to Gen. Gcrdon and Maj. Ba¬
con they ought to be satisfied that
neither of them is the right man for
Governor. If they have got an idea
yet, however, that this personal cam¬
paign will lead to the disruption of
the Democratic party in this State
it is safe to say that they haven’t
<rot . .. it . in such , a shape , that they can
. • to . it. ,
give expression
count 1>arties of nvalr.es ^ f° between to P ea tlie.r ? e oa lead- ac *
ers > but because of differences rela*
tive to P ri,,c, i ,lc8 « to ff^-stions.which
u,vulvy , thc intcrest8 - of thc whole
jieople. When G’en. Gordon and
Maj. Bacon represent differences of
this sort it will be time enough to
talk about a “rift in the solid South.”
So long, however, as the campaign
discussions are confined mainly to
their personal records, and their
qualifications for tho office which
they seek, there is no danger, of a
rift of such dimensions as to be alarm
ing or even observable. There is no
occasion for the Atlanta writer to
be mysterious and "pretend that tho
present political excitement in tho
State has a significance which has *
not yet become generally apparent.
All there is in the situation is on the -
surface, and those who search “deep¬
er down” will find nothing that will
repay them for their trouble.
