tha dayi af hit young manhood, ha
emigratad to lliiiiiiippi, tattling
nar . Dallai, Lafayetta Co and
making hii noma witli Robart W.
Powell, for whom he worked on tha
farm, leading a quiet, peaceful,
and busy life. But not) for long.
The storm-cloud of war 1 arose and
darkened the land. Patriots, those
who loYtd liberty, freedom, and
constitutional rights store than sel
fish ease and comfort, wtre called
forth in defease of their country,
and among th irst to answer te
tbe call to duty aad the clah of
trrai was tbe subject of this sketch.
Enrolling his name as a Tolnnteer
i iho Magnolia Guards, a compa
ny mack up and organized at Ba
repta, Miss., ke, on the 20th of
April, 1861, became a soldier of
the Con ederacy, aad on the 1st
of May took up tae lias of march
with the company to Corinth, Miss,
whare, at Camp Uott, it was or
gaaiztd into and became Co
of the 17 tb Uiis. The regiment
was (oc'tt moTed forward to Vir
ginia where, becoming a part of
Joas's Brigade, it was eacampsd
oh the banks of tha now historic
Bull Bun, near lianatsai.
In drilling, Tidette, and picket
duty the time was passed, until
the morning of the memorable 21st
day of July a day when dawn
broke upen a quiet bat expectant
people, following their usual aro
catioai in hushed r and . dread
siUuce, and two large and well
equipped arnlesrixi all tha glittering
prids of strength, and panoply of
war, confronted each other in
battle array a day, whose setting
sun left in darkness one army crip
pled but exultant, tha other wreck
90, scattered and dtitroyed, while
the dews of night settled upoa
thousands of silent, upturned Jaces,
aad upon a nation wailing in sor
raw and anguish On this day
Private Baraes received his bap
tiam of fire, aad prOTed himself
worthy of tha name of Ooafidarate
Soldier.
After the battle of Manassaa tha
army was moTed forward ta' Oea
trafilla where, for some time, it
was encamped, and where Prhrate
Baroes was taken down with that
dread disease, "camp ferer," from
which he died, on the 9th - ot Au
gust. By his chterful, kind, and ge
nial manners, and his proeptnast
and alacrity in the discharge of
ttery duty, Pmata Barnes had
gained the esteem of his officers
and the warm, brottrerly friendship
of his oamradcs. He wu lored
and resoected by all, aad his death
greatly Umated.
I cannot better deseribe his sad
bnrial than to quote a letter, wrote
borae at the time, which I . now
Uts before me The first part ef
the letter is omitted, begianing at
the part describing theburialr
Yoar letter reached me
at a time when I most needed mbi
consoling, or cheerful iaiue ace
atanding by the grare-side of one
of my best friends la my last
letter to you I stated that my friend
Peter Barnes, was rery lick, with
f erer. It was through my iafla
ence that ne joined the company,
and at the time lie joined wu .the.
only acquaintance I had in it. He
was my bast friend, and a better
hearted boy never liTed. He died,
last Thursday eTeaiag, just half
aa hour after the death af aaother
one of our boye, Henry Brown.
Owing to the difficulty of procnr-'
coffins, their fnnerali &i& ot
take place until Friday nisht; ifiV J
I
ly evening
commenced falling in torrents.
We were under orders to break
camps next morning, -at 5 o'clock,
so that it was impossible to defer
the funeral. At about - 8 o'clock,
p. m., we get the coffins and every
thiagredy, when, with lanterns
glimmering their pale and sickly
light, . seeming to almost render
the darkness more visable, in tha
dismal rain the melancholy proces
sion look up its line af march to
the village church-yard, where the
gravs had already been prepared.
No drums were beating the funer
al march, as is customary in the
burial of dead soldiers."
No drams were heard, not a
funeral note" no guns were glisten
ing in the pale lantern light; noth
ing was heard, net a sound, ex
cept the murmuring noise of the
distant encampment, sounding like
the roar of a far off rush of waters.
Splash, splash, splash, through the
mud and water, solemnly marched
the funeral train; not a word spo
ken, except in whispering accents;
each busy with his own thoughts.
Far off to our quiet homes moat of
our thoughts were straying. The
loved countenances of our dear ones
arose to view, and, in ear imagin.
tions, we were ence more sitting ia
the cool and pleasant piazzas of our
Southern homes, conversing with
those dearer to us than all on earth
besides; the breeze sweetly mur
mdrs through the foliage around us,
while the pale moonlight veils in
silvery mantle the landscape around
us; sweeter than the sweetest mu
sic to our ears were the voices
around as. Oh, the voices of laved
ones! always so sweet, sweeter now
than ever In soul-thrilling ac
cents we hear our little ones whis
per our name as we fold them in
our arms and press the dear lips
to ours All is happiness and joy
ous around us; all resting in peace
and security; no glistening bayonets
seen in the distance; the rattle of
mu tketiy disturbs not the stillneas;
the roar of the cannon comes not
booming through the night air;
quiet and peaceful are the valleys
around us, while, in the distance,
the mountain tops seem to drink
in the moonbeams from their very
source "Halt" -low, but distinct
ly the command sounds in our ears;
bur wandering thoughts are recalled
to a true realization of our sur
roundings; we awake, as it were,
to find ourselves standing in the
silent grave-yard, in a strange and
fr off land, the walls of a ohurch
looming darkly on one side, the
yawning graves, soon to contain the
bodies of our late comrades, on the
other1. Oar beautiful dreams have
vanished and the mournful reality,
is present. The rain patters un
ceasingly on our oil cloth wrappers,
and splashes in streams from the
roof of the near-by church, while
the dismal, the unearthly sound of
the spades in the vaults, as some
necessary alterations are made in
their shape; the low and hoarsely
spoken command of the officer in
giving directions, the lowering of
the coffin containing the body of
my friend: the sobbing of the broth
ers and relatives of Brown, as his
body is lowered to its last resting
place; , tha dull, heavy, crashing
sound of the earth as it falls upon
the : coffins, covering deeper and
deeper the dead thus, amidst such
surroundings as -these, while slow
and solemnly the men throw in the
earth, spadeful by spadeful, by the
glimmering lantren's light, I stand
and read your dear, letter, which
was handed me by the Capt. a few
minutes before leaving the encamp
oaeat. The rain still falls in tor
rents; the graves are filled and fin
ished; the company is reformed;
in silence we march away, leaving
our two comrades to rest until the
resurreotion morn shall summon
them forth.
"We carred not a line, we raised not a ston ef
But left them alone In their glory."
Slowly, and, sadly the company
returned to camps, to get ready
for the march next morning; but
never never will be forgo-teu the
sad iBaressiveness, and feelings
experienced in that night, as ia
the pouring rain, by the dim lan
tern light, we laid our comrades
to rest. In tha -lonesome church
yard at Centreville, almost in sight
of tha glittering dome of the Cap
itol of a once proud and united
ITatioa, tilsntly thty f!tp, uncoa-
scious or war e alarms
of arms. Peace to their ashes."
.
Thirty six years have left their
history recorded -upon the leaves
of time, and have been folded and
numbered with the past, since the
above letter was written, and since
the dismal nights we laid the bodies
of two comrads to rest in the gloomy
church-yard at Centreville; the war,
with all its horrible scenes, its
desperate cop flic ts and soul sick
ening desolation, has become his
tory; yet, the incidents connected
with the bur ial described above
'are as fresh and vivid in our mem
ory as tbough a matter of only
yesterday. Many of the comrades
who were present and assisted in
that sad seen fill soldiers' graves
on the bloody fields of our South
land, and of them all only a few
gray -headed old veterans now live
to recall the occurence. Only a
few more years, aad all whr took
part in the great struggle will have

VIEWS OF THE SOUTH.
A. Description of the Reli
gion, Politics and Re
sources of Kansas
Manhattan, Kan., Dec 10.. 1897.
Editor Topic: After a aiJer.ce of
fifteen' months, I will, with your psr
mission, aDr.oacce that I still live,
mov, and have a being on this Bin
cursed p!&net. With gentiue sor
row I notico the death, "onj by
pnb"of .thoa I once knew in the
happy past I Biccerely trust it is
well with them, and that thsy rest
where the "tree of life is blooming."
"Bleeding Kansaa" is a ery re
markable state in many respects.
Baing in the center of forty five
magnificent states, she is diversified"
in climate, farming, politics and re
ligion. In western Kansas it is
high and dry, like Colorado; in the
center, well watered with considera
ble timber; while in the southern
part it is rather w. t and chills are
quite prevalent. Religiously all de-1
nomications are found in about the
same proportion as in the good Old
North State except that the Catho
lics have tt large memberaeip here.
Politically, this is tha hot-bed of
the PopulUt, the land of Jerry
Simpson, Leedy, Doster, Peffar and
a great army of political demons as
void of principal as the polar re
gions are of heat. I firmly believe
the Devil is a Populist and that Ma
rion Butler, of North Carolina, and
ole Ignatious Donnelly, of Minne
sota, are his right and left bowers
in American politics. Old John
Brown's soul is still "marching on"
in the Sunflower state. We have'
heard the great Gen. Robt. E Lee
called a traitor, and his glorious vet
erans called rebels. Hundreds of
p, ople in Kan. think tbe Sunny
South disloyal to the nation.- They
s&y tha people are brave asd gener
ous, but the majority ignorant and
lazy. .Many claim that Northern
men and money have mainly built
np the South siuce the war. A cor
respondent of the Chicago World,
writing from Mt. Cherry, N. C,
Nov. 4th, 1897, says: "North Car
olina people are the soul of hospital
ity, or 'horeepitality 3 they call tt.
Every house I vieited they 'vere
practicing with ColtV pistols and
Winchester rifles. Each man could
tell you how many men he had
killed at a distance of four hundred
yards. Stopping over night with a
man who appeared gentle, and was
very kind, I enquired the news.
'Oh, nothing at all, everything is
quite dull.' 'Have you anything
new?' He asked. I answered,' I
heard a man was killed to-day at
Buffalo Gap. 'Oh, yes! I heard
of that,' he said, 'and threo were
killed yesterday at Hagan's Springs,
and they said five were killed this
evening at Jim Town. I was there,
he said, 'and heard the shooting
but did net enquire specially about
it, and had really forgottsn all about
it until you introduced the sub
ject'" This correspondent signs himself,
M. L White, and the above quota
tion will give you an idea of how
North Carolina is slandered.
The-Kan. City Star cf the date,
No r. 27th, 1897, under the head
ing "Marion Butler's Fall," which
says: One year ago Senator Marion
Butler was the meat powerful polit
ical leader in N. C. .To-day he has
few friends in his own party and is
generally hated throughout the
State. In a speech at Rocky Mount
he laid; - 'Democrats pretend to ba
terribly shocked at negro oi truges
in public, but in private they laugh
till they are fat, and if negro cut
rages are not frequent enough they
lay worthless . negroes to commit
them." Mr. Editor, if Butler said
this he ought to leave N. C. or pull
hemp No doubt about that. ,
A gentle ware of prosperity , hss
struck . Kansas. Moncy is plenty.
Loan agents are anxious to . let you
have it. We attribute this to the
heavy wheat crop and fair Prices
caused by the demands in foreign
lands where millions are starving.

N. C. is much talked of in the
west at present. The Kan's City
Star of Nov. 28th '97 contains a
very readable article from, the
graphic pen of Mary Jean Alfred
on "The Land of the 8ky" from
which we take the following:
"Paint Rock is 1000 ft. above the
sea, aad upon which is to be seen
the sign of the cross, which symbol
was placed there by Dr. Peck 33
years a;o to mark the boundary be
tween N. C and Tenn. Of the
seven tunnels through the Blue
Ridee in Western N. 0. the Swah
nanc a is longest. It's altitude is
2850 ft. above the sea. Length
1800 ft.'. All arched with brick ex
cept 200 ft. at west end of solid
rock. 12; million brick - were used
and 150 men were killed in making
tunnel and lie buried there. "The
famous mud cut Cost i million
dollars and required 100 men ten
yrs. to keep back the quick sand;
The fountain at Round Knob Hotel
is 262 ft. high, 2nd highest in the
world. As you pass the fountain
you notice that the water is con tinually
falling away from yen,
no matter from which direction
you approach it. No one has des
cribed why It is so," 1
' Manhattan had a carnival Nov.
13th. Twelve thousand were pres
ent and had a big time. $700.00
fire works at night. Hundreds of
dollars in prizes. A $30.00. prize
was offered for heaviest load of corn
drawn by two horsss, We wit
nessed the contest, ' 2 large Nor
man horses pulled 8 wagons (chain
ed together) and containing 306
bu. corn in. the ear or 30000 lbs
No wonder John saw horses in
Heaven. Many people are far be
low the horse.
We notice that "Bill Arp" (that
grand old Georgian) is lecturing
in N. C. How deeply it stirs me
to read his letters when he writes
about Pender and Pettigrew and
Gordon, and Hoko and Clingman
and a long list of noble Carolinians
who have fought their last battles
and eo sound can awake them td
ilory again.
Considerable interest is mani
fested in Kan., over a discovery
in Indian Territory A battlefield
has been discovered many feet un
der the grcuDd comprising 30 acres
upon which a great battle was
fought twenty thousand years ago
between the Maya Indians of Yuca
tannow in Mexico, and the
Mound Borders who lived in the
regions oast of Kans. City. Prof
Walters of Manhattan Agricultural
College is there exploring and
finds a grave yard comprising 30
acres in which the warriors lie
buried in layers about 60 feet deep
We are simply astonished, ss we
were brought up to think Adam
and Eve our firat parents were cre
ated 6000 years ago in Eden. It
makes our head swim to read of
a battlo being fought in this coun-.
try twenty; thousand years ago in
which Prjof. Walters claims one
hundred thousand were killed.
You know 'Mr. Editor, the claim
is made that Eden was in what ia
now known ss Yucatan a State
in Mexico. What next?
Recently we were surprised and
delighted to find a copy of Wtel-(
er's History of N. C. in a book
store in Manhattan We read it
with mingled feelings of pain and
pleasure. What a flood of remi
niscences crowds our memory.
"How mournfully sweet are the
echoes which start.
When memory plays an old tune
bn the heart." j

x Manhattan Agricultural College
has had an exciting time lately in
regard to a Malady among the
herd of thorough bred cattle, called
tuberculosis, or consumption.
When Lsedy came in aa Governor
the populists put in a m board
of regeats at the College and they
"fired" all the republican maaa
geis and put in "pops" who at once
commenced to find fault with the
republicans and found disease
among the cattle and summoned
veterinary surgeons from j several
States and with their advice shot
down $3000.00 worth of fine cattle
in one day, and j then1 burned then.
The Devil is in command in Kan.
This 8tato was concieved in sin,
and brought forth in iniqaity, and
the "Ethiopian has not changed
his skin, nor the Leopard his
spots." v I
W. J. Bryan arrived in Manhat
tan 4th inst from Nebraska and
was banqueted by the cititens, af

in convention here and of which
he is a ' member. The great man
was met at the depot by a big
crowd when ho left for Salina and
ho spoke 10 minutes to ; the groat
delight of his hearers. L My what
