The muffled drum's sad roll has beat The soldier's last tattoo ; No more on life's parade shall meet The brave and daring few. j On Fame's eternal camping-ground Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead. J No answer to the foe's advance ! Now swells upon the wind, No troubled thought at mad night haunts " Of loved ones left behind ; No vision of the morrow's strife The warrior's dr$am alarms : No baying horn noi screaming fife At dawji shall call to armL. Their shivered swords are red with " rUSt'J ; j , - I'' -; Their plumed heads are bowed ; Their haughty banner.trailed in dust, Is now their martial shroud ; And plenteous funeral tears have washed i j The red stains from each brow, And their proud forms, in battle gashed, . j Are free from anguish now. j The. neighing steed, the flashing blade, I The trumpet's stirring blast,; j. The charge, the dreadful canonnade, The din and shout, are past ; Nor war's wild note, nor glory's peal, Shall thrill with fierce delight Those breasts that never more shall feel The rapture of the fight. Like the dread northern hurricane That sweeps the broad plateau, Flushed with the triumph yet to gain. Came down the serried foe. Our heroes felt the shock, and leapt To meet them on the plain ; j And long the pitying sky hath, wept Above our gallant slain. - . i Sons of our consecrated ground, Ye must not slumber there, Where stranger steps and tongues resound j Along the heedless air. J Your own proud land's heroic soil Shall be your fitter grave : i She claims from war his richest spoil, The ashes of her brave. .So 'neath their parent turf they, rest, Far from the gory field ; I Borne to a Spartan mother's breast, On many a bloody shield. j The sunshine of their native sky Smiles sadly on them here, And kindred hearts and eyes watch by i ; The heroes't sepulcher. Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead! Dear as the blood you gave ; j No impious footsteps here shall tread The herbage of your grave, - j Nor shall your glory be forgot j While fame her record keeps, Or honor points the hallowed spot Where valor proudly sleeps. Yon marble minstrel's voiceless tone In deathless songs shall tell, j When many a vanquished age hath flown, The story how ye fell. Nor wreck, nor change, nor winter's blight, , - i Nor time's remorsless doom, j Shall dim one ray of holy light That gilds your glorious tomb. The soldier-poet, Theo. O'Hara, was born in Danville, Ky., Feb. 11, 1820. A child of misfortune and disappointment, ; the pressure of a narrow fortune, combined with the aspirations of a noble ambition, con spired to make his life singularly erratic. After receiving a thorough classical education at Bardstown, he read law, but in 1845 accepted a po sition in the Treasury Department at Washington, from which he was appointed toia Captaincy in the U. S, regular army, and served through Mexican War with such distinction as to be brevetted Major. Resign ing his commission, he practiced law in Washington until the breaking out of the Cuban fever, when he embarked in that ill-starred enter prise as colonel of one of the regi ments, and was badly wounded in the battle of Cardenas. He now turned his attention to journalism, and as editor of the Mobile Register, the Louisville Times, and the Frank fort Yeoman displayed signal ability. He was often called on by the Gov ernment to conduct diplomatic ne gotiations of importance with foreign nations, and his services were spe cially valued in the Tehuantepeo Grant business. Entering the Con federate service as Colonel of 12th Alabama regiment, he was subse quently on the staff of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, and it was into his arms that his great chief fell when he received his death-wound at Shiloh. i He was then made chief-of-staff of Gen. J. C. Breckinridge, his old fellow-student in law. The close of the war left him penniless, but he struggled bravely against poverty until his death in Alabama, June 6, 1867. In 1874 the legisla ture of Kentucky caused his remains to be brought to Frankfort and there reinterred with appropriate honors in the State cemetery. Like Gray, his fame rests chiefly npon one poem The Bivouac of the Dead,; which alone is sufficient to' make his name immortal. "The hold of this elegy npon the popular heart grows strong er and more enduring. It is creep ing into every scrap-book ; it is con tinually quoted upon public . occa sions. Every year or two it makes the round of the American press, and recently it has excited enthusi astic admiration in England. One stanza of it was inscribed upon a rude memorial nailed to a tree u pon the battle field of Chancellorsville ; another was engraved upon a mili tary monument at Boston, Mass., and still another adorns a memorial column that marks the place where occurred one of the most bloody contests of the Crimean War. It will gain the high place in literature that it merits, and there it will re main." IF. Munich" s "O'Hara- and His Elegies.' butl Brothers. Baltimore: Turn- DISPUTED WAR HISTORY. Gov. Vanes and President Davis A Tribuii to North Carolina. t Baltimore Sun, Hon. Z. B. Vance, United States Senator from North Carolina, was in this city for a short time recently, and while here met quite a number of his old friends and acquaintances. The commanding presence and ro bust stature of the; distinguished Senator are well known to Baltimo reans. who have often heard his elo quent voice in their midst, and his genial and amiable disposition has won the affection of all those with whom he: has become acquainted. In the charges and counter-charges that have been made in the pen ding controversy between Gen. Sherman and Jefferson Davis the name of Senator Vance has fre quently been mentioned. General Sherman, in a speech made not long since in St. Louis, Mq., said he had seen a letter written by Jefferson Davis to a Governor of a Southern State, (meaning Senator Vance, who was then Governor of North Caroli na,) in which Mr. Davis threatened the coercion of any Southern State that should attempt to secede from the Confederacy. Mr. Davis has denied emphatically that he ever meditated such a measure, but Gen. Sherman, in a letter deposited in the archives of the War Department, has attempted to make good his charge by asserting that there was talk about the camp"of the desire of Gov. Vance and other State offi cials to take North Carolina out of the Confederacy, but they were afraid of Jeff. Davis and wanted protection." How well and faithfully Senator Vance served the Confederacy every one knows who was jn its service. His own people wonder that any one questions his loyalty to the Southern cause. When the question of dis solving the Union arose to distract the Southern people he identified himself with loose that were against secession. During his services in the Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth Congresses, immediately preceding the event, his eloquent voice was often heard in defense of the Union. At every step he mej; the rabid se cessionists with the logic of his great mind, pleading for the preservation of the Union-he loved. He urged upon the South measures of forbear ance, and to the North appealed for compromise. ' He continued his la bors in behalf of unity until the secession of North Carolina, on May 21, 1801, disclosed that he was in the minority, and then, like Ste- Ehens, B. II. Hill and many others, e yielded his individual convictions and gave unqualified allegiance to his State. lie at 'once, in May, 1861, entered the Confederate army as captain, and in August of the same year was made colonel. In August, 1862, he was elected Gov ernor of North Carolina, and re elected in August, 1864. During all this eventful period! he served his State and the Confederacy faithful ly, honestly and devotedly, as he then understood it. Upon being asked to explain his relations with the Confederate Pres ident at the time mentioned by Gen. Sherman, he replied in the most positive manner that no : letter con taining such a threat as asserted by General Sherman was ever received by him from Jefferson Davis, and as evidence of this fact he said : A11 letters from him to me of any nature are to be found copied in the letter books of the Executive Department of North Carolina, now in the War Department at Washington." He added : "It is well known that in regard to many of the details of ad ministration I was at variance with the authorities of the Confederate government ; but it is equally well known, I hope, that after my own honor was engaged and the honor of my native State, there never was an hour during all that unhappy time in which I did not give every energy of my body, mind and soul to the success of the cause to which I had pledged my allegiance. Gen. Sher man in. his letter to the War Depart ment holds out the idea that I was disaffected while Governor toward the cause for which I was ostensibly fighting, and that I was anxious I to separate myself and State from the Confederacy, but was restrained by fear. He commends mefor this, but I want no man's respect or good will based on the supposed virtues of treason to my country and the de sertion of my associates. The good will of a man who would respect these traits in another is not worth picking up from the dust of the common highways." Senator Vance says he never diso beyed any legal order that the Pres ident of the Confederacy made. He differed very: materially" with Mr. Davis on several questions that came up during the war, particularly the enforcement of the conscription act and the suspension by the President of the writ of habeas corpus. He always discussed these differences with Mr. Davis very frankly and in dependently, and the President al ways conceded his points. He never threw any obstacles at any time in the way of the Confederate authori ties, smd the relations of Mr. Davis and himself were always of the most friendly character. Upon calling his attention to the statement of General Sherman that "Gov. Vance had sent - commission ers to meet him as he approached Raleigh," and that they had told him that Governor Vance "wanted to make separate terms for the State, but was araid of Jeff. Davis, he re plied : "I do not believe it to be true. They never told General Sher man or any other living man that I was afraid of opposing Mir. Davis. They knew I differed with;hiui, and that I was faithful to the Confeder acy." In this connection the follow ing statement of Senator Vance, which has already appeared in print, will be of interest : On the 10th of April, 1865, Gen. Sherman advanced towards Raleigh, Gen. Jos. E. John ston retreating before him. I had al read shipped away westward the principal military stores of the State, together with the principal archives of the" Departments. About the 40th or 11th of April rumors reach ed me of the surrender of Gen. Leo and his army. Knowing that the operations of Gen. Johnston were mainly to secure the best terms pos sible for his command,! I spoke to him, about the propriety of sending commissioners through his lines to meet Gen. Sherman, with instruc tions to make the best terms I could for the protection of the State capi tal and people. He advised me to do this, and shortly after went West to meet President Davis at Greens boro', N. C, leaving General Hardie in command, with whom I likewise had a conference, and who gave me the permit to send the embassy. I appointed ex-Governor Wm. A. Graham and-ex-Governor David L. Swain commissioners to visit Gener al Sherman, and gave to them a let ter to him, requesting that he would grant protection to the capital, and stating that these gentlemen were authorized to treat with him for that purpose. A copy of that letter as it appears, was not entered on my official letter-book, and I have not been able to obtain it.; but that was its purport, to save the capital from the! fate of Columbia, which had just been burned. Dr. Edward Warren, Col. James G. Burr and Maj. John Devereaux accompanied the commissioners as an escort. Leaving Raleigh in a special train with a flag of truce, they passed through the rear-guard of the Con federate array, commanded by Gen Wade Hampton, but before they got within the Federal lines they were stopped by a dispatch from General Johnston, who was with President Davis at Charlotte, N. C, and or dered to return to Raleigh. They reversed the engine and started on the return, but the enemy's troops having swept by them, they were made prisoners by Kilpatrick's cav alry. After being plundered by Sherman's "bummers" they were marched to his headquarters. Dr. Warren, who was with the embassy, in a recent communication, says :' "The commissioners, both of whom had been warm Union men, spoke to Gen. Sherman freely of Gov. Vance's position. While the Governor had originally been opposed to war, he was tenacious in his adherence to tho-Confederacy, and refused to act separately for the State, a fact which they deprecated. Both of them thought that a great deal might have been accomplished for North Carolina by this conference had not Governor Vance limited their pow ers to pleading for the safety of Raleigh, and been so determined to do nothing , whaterer that . would seem like deserting the general cause. For he considered it his duty to stand by it to the last extremity; Gen. Sherman received the commis sioners with great civility, and the promised protection was given in the following letter to Gov. Vance : "Headquarters Military Division of the Mississippi, in the field, Gul ley's Station, N. C., April 12, 1865. Sir : I have the honor to. acknowl edge the receipt of your communi cation of this date, and inclose to you a safe-guard for yourself and any members of the State govern ment that choose to remain in Ral eigh. I would gladly have enabled you to meet me here, but some in terruption occurred to the train by the orders of General Johnston after it had passed within the lines of my cavalry advance ; but as it came out of Raleigh in good faith, it shall return in good faith, and will in no manner be claimed by-us. I doubt if hostilities can be suspended as between the army of the Confeder ate government and the one 1 com mand, but I will aid you all in my power to contribute to the end you aim to reach the termination of the existing war. "I am, truly, your obedient ser vant. " W. T. Sherman, Major-General. " "To his Excellency, Z."B. Vance, Governor of North Carolina." At the same time Gen. Sheridan. issued the following order to his command : "All officers and sol diers of this army are commanded to respect and protect the Governor of North Carolina, and the officers and servants of the State govern ment, the mayor and civil authori ties of Raleigh, provided no hostile act is committed against the officers and men of this army between this and the city." Senator Vance says the commis sioners were expected to return to Raleigh) by 4 o'clock that afternoon, but for some reason unknown to him the engine was retained until next morning. In the meantime it was reported to him that the engine and commissioners had been captured. "ine city naving been evacuated by the Confederate forces, I retired with two volunteer aids, and stopped eight miles from thecity inthe camp of General Hoke, commanding a North Carolina division. The com missioners arrived next morning in Raleigh, took possession of the .State House in ray absence, and made all arrangements for the, protection of the city in accordance with the pro mise of Sherman. Soon after ex Governor Graham attempted to de liver to me at Hillsboro' the letters and orders, of Gen. Sherman, but owing to the difficulty of getting horses and the constant skirmishing, going on between the two armies he did not overtake me until Friday following, at his own house, in Hillsboro'. Mr. Graham gave me official intelligence of Lee's surren der, and put in my hands an invita tion from "Sherman to return to Raleigh, which I declined to accept. About the same time I received an urgent dispatch from President Da vis to, meet him in Greensboro', and on the following morning set out on horseback. Arriving at Goldsboro' I found that he and his cabinet had gone to Charlotte, and I moved on to join him. I had au interview with him in the presence of General Breckinridge, Hon. John A. Reagan and other members of his cabinet. The conversation was loner and sol emn. Mr. Davis appeared still full of hope, and discussed the situation exhaustively. Finally, at the sug gestion of "Gen. Breckinridge, he advised me to return to my position and its responsibilities, do the best I could for my people and share their fate, whatever it might be. After a very little more conversation I arose and offered my hand to President Dans to bid him good-bye. Ho shook it long and warmly saying : "God bless you, Mr, and the noble old State of: North Carolina." I return ed to Greensboro', and after the second and final convention was agreed to between Gens. Sherman and Johnston for the surrender of the latter's army I went to General Schofield and offered my surrender, but he declined to accept it, and told me I was at liberty to go home." The assassination of President Lin coln changed the condition of af fairs, and Governor Vance was not permitted to resume his position at the head of the State. lie was soon after arrested at Statesville by Gen. ScHpfield and conveyed under guard to old "Carroll Prison" at Washing ton, and the strife and bitterness of reconstruction followed in the State. His companions in prison were Gov ernor Brown, of Georgia, Governor Letcher, of Virginia, Gen. Fjdward Johnson, and Mr. Lamar, r banker, from Savannah, Ga. After being in prison several months he was releas ed on Jujy 6, 1860. Senator Vance says North Caroli na did all she could to avert the failure of the Southern Confederacy. She gave her sons and resources un stintedly. She trenched upon the cradle and the grave for j fighting material ; she furnished some of the most brilliant military capacity of the war, as well as her share of the most conspicuous heroism. As an evidence of his loyalty during the war to his State and the government which it had assisted to establish, he says : "By the general industry and thrift of our people, and by, the use of a number of blockade-running steamers the A. D. Vance, the Banshee, the Elspetch and others carrying out cotton and bringing in supplies, from Europe, I had collect ed and distributed from , time to time, as near as can be gathered from the quartermaster's depart ment, the following stores : Large quantities of machinery supplies, 60,000 pairs of hand-cards, 10,000 grain scythes, 200baarrelsbluestone for the wheat growers, leather and shoes for 250,000 pairs, 50,000 blan kets, gray woolen cloth for at least 250,000 suits of uniforms, 12,000 overcoats, (ready made), 2,000 best Enfield rifles, (with 100 rounds of "fixed ammunition,) 100,000 pounds of bacon, 500 sacks of coffee for hospital use, $50,000 worth of med icines at gold prices, besides many other supplies. Not only was the supply of shoes, blank ets and cloth ing - more than sufficient for the supply of the North Carolina" troops but large quantities were turned over to the Confederate government for the troops of other States. In the winter succeeding the battle of Chickamauga I seut to Gen "Long street's corps 14,000 suits of cloth ing complete. North Carolina also furnished the First Marvland Infan try Regiment with arms, and gave tne carpets in the Governor s man sion and State House to make blan kets for the First Maryland j Artil lery. At the surrender of General Johnston, the State had on I hand. ready, made in cloth, 92,000 suits of uniform with great stores of blan kets, leather, &c. I! was told ,by General Joseph E. Johnston that when hia army was surrendered, he had in the depots of North Carolina, gathered in the State, five months' supplies for sixty thousand men, and that for many months previous Gen. Lee s army had been almost Entirely fed from' North Carolina. In rela tion to the number of troops fur nished td the -Confederate govern ment, I make the boast that ! North Carolina! furnished absolutely more 4-U ! il i C1ii- I mi T . nr i than any other State. The i official records show that she . . . furnished the armies of the Confederacy al grand total of all grades of 121,038 men. These were organized ihto 71 resri- ments, 20 battalions 'arid 20i unat tached companies. All these were raised out of a white population, in I860 of 629,942, or one soldier to every six? souls ! At! Appomattox and at Greensboro', North Carolina surrendered twice as many muskets as any other State.
