' Th Last Moments of a Southern Soldier,. Correspondence of The Rocket.. Not Jong ago I saw in some paper an' interesting story connected with the, late war. It was ofan pld.gen tiemanTwoo Intraielingspoke to anothrer-with no other tbject inview tbanrcasualacquiuntanceship.to relieve the tedium of the journey. But thus,! by- whatseemed; a mere accident, a father was enabled to find apd-identify, the.remains. of a dear sOn'slanwrHheH5lo6djF field of Get tysburg. As I read the account I could but be reminded of the many dark days during the civil war when, living in the debatabhfregion pf old Virginia, I had seen many a "Rachel weeping for her children, who would not be comforted because they were not." During the years which have intervened between those, times .of trial and this time of peace, as menV ory; has pictured the scenes of sad ness around .ra'e there; often have I thought of the death and burial of a young soldier boy which was almost "un wetujahonpred jan Unsung."

In -the rush of events then taking place, I have no idea that his relatives could know anything of his fate morp thanj perhaps, among the list ot "missing" they . found his name; : -- : " v'; ;- .. I In the spring of '64 1 was teaching in the family of Dr.' Joseph Flippo, in uarojLiue.couniy, va. tie uvea immediately on the main telegraph FrederTcksbTurgl " Spottsy Ifania, &c, and troops were constaritly'-passing anox repassing xa ana .irom Tnrrront. Spottsyl vania C. H." was only fifteen miles from us, and we became quite accustomed to. the heavy thuds of the cannonading during the battle thereand Xhemany lesser fights and sldf paishes f succeediug.t JNearer and nearer came the death-dealing sound, as Gen. Lee fell back and Grant push ed forward. The wounded from those fields), were- at first taken' to Gum? nea's Station, on the R. F. & P. R, tB. ja,rt4 t&en,pn tQ.Jthehpspitals;in, Richmond, but as the Northern army soon held jruinnea,as they -threw for ward their right flank, our wounded had to.be carried to Chesterfield Sta tion, a point nearer to Richmond and a few jnileff80UtheaStt)f where Dr, Flippo lived , The ambulance train thtispassed his front gate," and gen perally 3 halted ;forj refreshments and inose tIIlu aiieimoiis yvpicn vne uoc tbr waalways anxiousto afford the soldiers. ; Converting his "office" in- f to a small hospital, he transferred such as seemed to need prompt at tention to its welcome shellei. Many of tfee poof fellows had to wait till they got id Richmond to 'et their wounds dressed. The young soldier of whom I write was taken from ah ambuiaiiQiiirain which .'passedur ins the "night. ,!I cannot remember the date," but it was not more than a few days after the battle of Spottsy 1 vania C. H. Neither do L know whether, hoc ytfts wounded in that en gagemetnt or, some of the subsequen ones. ' The doctor thought he could not liver to r?ach the railroad j much morning Mrs. Flippo, Miss F. and I went to see the wounded and administer id heir wants. We soon found that mo uu wuiu llUli UVC twelve UUC He was suffering greafly.- The d the boy could hot live twelve hours: oc-i tor had dressecL his , wounds, which were in side and breast, and wmade him as comfortable as we PoUtdlUa breathed heavily and could talk but it-tie. On being asked bis name- he said, "Massey, from South Caro- ina." I think those were his lae$ words. We .took him .-some milk which he drank with' avidity, but irj few momats it ranout through the wound in his side. He was very youthful in appearance not mucli more than a boy scarcely eighteen) ' years old, 1 should think;' but he bore his sufferings manfully. His powers of endurance would have done honor to a veteran. His hai? was dark and closely cut, his fac guiltless oi peara or . jm us$acnej Jtus skin was fair and his cheeks Hushed witii - fever or ipaia; SfseySveie calm and thoughtful I do not ret member the colori Had Lhad less cause for excitement at the time I might be able to describe him. more fully, and had he been in less agony we might have learned more of. his family and have sent them some message from him. The doctor thought best to keep him as quiet as possible, so beyond the necessary attentions we did not disturb him. He had all the care and kindness that the doctor and his family could bestow, but there was little that could be done, and - we were' ;m a state ot the greatest suspense and anxiety. As the shadows of evening - came down over the earth his . spirit as cended, we hope; to its God.- Late that night some cavalry belonging to the ConfederatelVfmy halted at the gate and ; annoupced thaMh arm v would fall-hack alonsr that road. ' By day the'wnole ''placeas full )f them on the wa'y,to-thc NptH Anna River, six or eight miles soff. where" they entrenched and had a little Gght the next day but one wjth" the van of Grant's array who were follpvying closely. Two division of the Northern1 army passed that way the day after Gen. Lee's. Generals Wright and Warren were in .cprni mand. . Dr. Flippo, who had: pro- visions, horses, &c., secreted in a dense jungle, left to secrete himself, too, on the approach of the enemy. Having quite a plucky little wife, I suppose he thought this the best way to protect, his family ; and then 'the Yankees would almost certainly take him prisoner. He left -UncleHar ry," a faithful old negro; in charge. but he, too, "came up missing" when ever the Yankees were. to be seen He would creep. out now and then, see how things were, going, and re port "to tbjtripctor pn his next trip to his plaefc& concealment. He at- tenaea tone wounaea men wnen there, and" we ladies would steal put occasionally and try to keep: them comfortable ; but" we were in su dread that we could jriot staywith them " but 'a few" minutes at a : time. Besides the boy Masse', there were two others in' the little hospital at this time.' One was anold-looking pnanTfrpnSoqtJpraro name I forget. He had an arm off arid an eye knocked out, and he would call out, "bend, tnat young 'oman here," when he wanted me to pour cold water over his wounds. Of course the "young -'oman? v glad to do anything, for the pOor fel? lows who had lost so heavily for the sake of the South. The other sol dier was named A. M. McCallum He was from Robeson county, N. C. and was wounded through the shoul der. These two recovered sufficient ly to start for home after some weeks; and if yetalive might be able to add to my account of. the young soldiej' Massey.
