Letter from Sooth CareliM.
Chablistox, May 10, 1872.
Mr. Euitob : Thi U 'Memorial
day" witli the Soatbero people. To
aay they are strewing the graves of. the
confederate dead with beautiful flowers,
showing their devotion to the memory
of the "heroes of the lost cause." I can
not find fault with these people for this
Could we expect them to torn away
from their relatives and' friends, and let
them lie forgotten and neglected. Such
a thing would be inhuman t Let the
North only show equal respect and lore
f fr those noble boys who fell in the great
J struggle which consummated in the res-
j toration of bur devided country to its
; firmer position of glory and prosperity
j We have this objection, however, to
i the conduct of the southern people on
I memorial day. "In thinking of the dead
' and in honoring their memory, we are
'too apt to think 'and speak of those
causes which lead to their death. Then
we extol or denounce that cause accord
ing to -the manner in which we have
learned to look upon it. The southern
people, in honoring their dead, are apt
to spit out their venom at the North and
laud and maguify the cause for which
these heroes fell, as if it was as fresh a
in 'Cl. These things they did while
standing in the "silent city," in all the
solemnity 'of death, thus bringing up
afresh those memories that should be
forever buried, and inflaming those pas
sions that yet remain too rife in the
minds of the southern people.
I will clip for you a few leaves from
our note book concerning the occasion.
As you stood in the dense crowd your
eats would be greeted with such expres
sions as these, "Noble boys" "fought
well"' "fonght for freedom, but died
slaves'' "curse the North" "mnd sills''
'-usurpation' "tyranny," &c, &c
Then the exercises are oneued in the
same strain
Oh ! tell not the South
That her gallantry failed ;
Nor say in the face
Of a foe she e'er quailed.
Raiher say that she met.
With her face to the foe,
And cave to the Northmen
A blow for a blow.
Oh ! tell not the South
She was coward in fight
O'erpowered she sank.
Though her cause was aright.
In the fur distant future
Some bards will arise
And strike their rich harps
With her fame to the skies."
Col P. C. Gaillard, presiding officer
of the occasion, took the . liberty of
saying in his opening remark?,'"that we
have assembled here this afternoon to
pay our tiibute of respect to the dead ol
a glorions cause." "Ibis ovation
of feeling for the honored dead evinces
that we have principles ichich ran nevir
de''
The Rev. John Bachman, D. D.,
mentioned in his prayer that fact "that
we had gathered arouud the remains of
those to whom wo owe a deep debt of
gratitude because they had shed their
Hood in our defence." Then he
prayed that the Almighty "would en
grave npon our hearts the nnemtimneo
of their virtues, and teach as to emulate
lluir pa'rioiic love of country." The
query is "what country f"
Magnolia Cemetery is a magnificent
place the most beautiful spot for the
dead I ever saw iti my life. Nature and
art have joined hands hei e to crown the
spot with beauty. To this cemetery
the Union dead have been removed.
Shall the south not pay her respects to
these also I Never ! The papers here
will not so much as publish the notice
of our "Memorial Day" on the 20th, but
they can publish columns of honeyed
words about the brave boys who fell
in defence of "our country."
The poem prepared for this occasion
and read had the jingle of very good
verse. I wish I could send it entire,
but it is too long. Here is a specimen
or two :
"Bend o'er your sleeping dead.
Oh, bowed and stricken State ;
Be tears, like pearls of memory shed,
And hallowed ever be the bed
Where they who for your freedom bled
The better life twait.
"Forget ! if from the land
They uobly died to save,
Fairpcace had swept the tyrant hand
If talaetood, and not truth were banned,
We might with xeal less holy stand
Beside each here's grave.
" Cut now the soil they Irod
With free untrarameled feet.
Lifts up appealing voice to God
For patience to endure his rod
Though wielded at a depot's nod
And all his will to meet."
The decoration of the graves was done
by ladies. Each mound and headstone
was decorated with flowing crosses and
evergreen chaplets and gave a quiet and
beautiful effect to the cemetary. This
scene war solemn and impressive, be
cause now every traitorous breath was
hushed and every renomed tongue was
silent ! c
Just here was a scene so thrilling that
any one who looked npon it can never
forget it. A very old lady, supported
by her daughter, asked leave to enter
the enclosure. At first bhe was told it
was contrary to the rules, when she ex-
claimed with tearful eye and choked ut
terance, "I lost two dear boys al Get
tysburg. and won't you let me in a mo
ment to see if they are here and cared
for?" Of course she was admitted, and
as she tottered up the avenue toward her
sleeping treasures, all eyes were upon
her with an intense interest. Suddenly
she stopped before the mounds, and,
with clasped hands, she bent over them,
and exclaimed in the midet of the sobs
and moans, ' Oh, my poor boys." It is
needless-to say that every eye that wit
nessed the affecting scene was wet with
tears, and every heart touched with the
deepest synratbjr. 1
When will the south give trenu
hatred 1 Treason may be dead, but
cruel hate still lives and manifests itself
in a thousand ways. Let any man come
to this country from the North, and he
will soon see. No difference what he
hag been at home. WhetbeKtbe most
conservative or most radical the rich
est or poorest saint or devil no differ
ence, they will all be alike despised. Go
into the huse of God, where we expect
to find a little of the love ol Christ, but
there you are treated like a dog. So on
the street so every where you go A
minister of one of the best Presbyterian
churches in New York State left the
south yesterday, after a sojourn of aix
mofiths. In all that time he was treated
with utter contempt by bis ministerial
brethren everywhere he went. Yesterday
a D. D , of the Methodist church North
was walking along the street and passed
a brother of the church South. The
southern brother in tha plentitude of his
methodistic love immediately brushed
back his coat skirt, for fear the touch of
the hem of his garment would contam
inate him. The General Synod of the
Lutheran Church South was iu session
last week. The Rev. V. F Bolton, of
one of the most conservative pu'pita of
the Northern Synod; came with creden
tials fiom the General Synod of the
North as Commissioner to this body.
What do you think this great christian
assembly did T They most respectfully
passed h motion to lay the brother's cre
dentials upon the table. What do you
think of all this in connection with the
restoration of peace and unity in this
country T

Gen. Harry White An Incident.
Among the many excellent citizens
whose names were before the people at
our last State Convention, no one per
haps enjoys a more enviable reputation,
or commands a large share of the cotifi
dence of the people of our State, than
General Unrry While, the distinguished
Senator from the Twenty-second Dis
trict. His connection wit'i the Pennsyl
vania Senate extends over a period of
nearly twelve years, aud his course iu
that body has uniformly been in the in
terests of the whole people.
Gen. White entered the military ser
vice of the United States iu 1SGI, as
Major of the 67i.h Penna Volunteers.
His Regiment took an active pirt in the
engagement at Winchester, iu 1S63
where, while contending wi'h a much
superior fotci? of the enemy, they were
overpowered, and a considerable number
made prisoners ; among whom was Major
White, who fought with the Regiment
dismounted. At the time of his capture
he was a member of the State Senate,
and by his detention that body was pre
vented from organizing or transacting
any business for a protracted period, un
til his resignation could be got through
the lines.
It was the fortune (or rather the mis
fortune) of the writer of this sketch to
be recaptured while endeavoiing to mike
his escape, and brought to Columbia, S
C, to enjoy ihe hospitalities of the peni
tentiary, then used as a military prison.
After remaining there a few weeks, a
party of us, among whom was General
White, were pnt aboard the cars, and
shipped to Audersonville and Macon, Ga
A short time after dark on the 30th of
Jnne. 1864, we reached Green's Station,
on the Georgia Central Railroad, a few
miles south of Angusta. Before arriving
there we had, by means of a small saw
given to one of the prisoners by a Union
man at Columbia, succeeded in making a
hole through the rear end of the car. (wo
happened to be iu the hindmost car,) and
as the train moved off, after taking wood
and water, our party commenced to drop
out. Gen. White and six others effected
their escape, and all would have done so,
but the guards having struck a light, re
vealed the whole affair. They immedi
ately drew their revolvers aud swore thev
would shoot the first man who made the
least demonstration.
Gen. White wai subsequently recap
tured, after enduring extreme hardships
and suffering, when within a short dis
tance of the Uuion lines. He was taken
1. I. 3 VT v
uk, auu, witu inner umou officers, was
placed under the fire of Gen. Gilmore's
batteries at Charleston.
The office of Congressman at large,
to which Gen. White has been nomina
ted, is a responsible position, and one
which he is in every respect eminently
qualified to fill, nnd to which he will
without doubt, be tiiumphsntly elected
During his extended experience in the
affairs of our State he has been closely
identified with our interests. It, there
fore, behooves us to close up the rauks
and move forwai-J to a general charge
along the whole line. With the prestige
of succers in our favor, and with the
brilliant war record of our standard-
bearers before us, we have no fears of
defeat.
I have conversed with parties from
different quarters of the State. All as
sent that the whole ticket will be elect
ed by a handsome majority, but that
Uen. White will poll an unprecedented
Tote
I find I am getting a little lengthy,
and will close for the present. More in
the future.
VOLU STEER OF '61.
THE MESSOXITES.
from recent despatches from St. Pe
tersburg, it appears that the Mennonites,
a sect numbering some forty thousand
souls, will probably leave Russia in a
short t'me and emigraut iu a body tor
either the Uuited States or Canada. The
creed of the Mennonites closely resem
bles that of the Friends, one of their
principal doctrines of belief being non
reBistance that war is unlawful aud
military service sinful and the reason
of their leaving Russia is that the gov
ernment of that couutry has recently re
ciuded the law which exempted them
from military duty, thus making their
further stay in the Empire incompatible
with 'their religion, Tbejsect had its
origin at the time when the Anabaptist
and other mystical beliefs flounsued in
the Nttherlando, its apostlo being one
Menno Simonis, who, having been a
priest in the Roman Catholic Church,
abandoned Catholicism and preached a
doctrine whose fundamental elements
were charity and faith, and who sought
by his teachings to restore the simplicity
of the Piiinilive Church
That it is to the interest of our Gov
ernment to endeavor to obtained them,
now that the opportunity is offered, as
residents of the United States, is very
plain, as their natural thrift, intelligence,
and self-dependence mark them out tlis
tinctly as fit citizens of the Great Re
public. Indeed, the law abiding nature
and thrift of the colony of the sect al
ready established in Lancaster county,
Pennsylvania, affords abundant proof of
the desirability of having added to it
either further addition s. or else of hav
ing a new colony founded iu some other
portion of the Union. There is one ob
stacle in the way of the Mennonite hegira
from Russia, aud that is the Russian
law, which forbids a subject to l ;ave tbe
country without the consent of tbe au
thorities, and although there is little
doubt but that this consent would be ac
corded to one or two, or even to ten or
twenty of the sect, when permission is
asked for the entire forty thousand to
leave iu a solid body it is extremely
doubtful whether the Government will
grant the permission desired. For the
United States, however, Russia has al
ways professed a high regard, and it is
quite possible that although for ther own
individual asking the Mennonites would
not be allowed to emigrate, yet it is by
no meaus improbable that if their request
was urgently seconded by our Govern
ment, it would be granted, and the ad
visibility of thus urgently seconded it is
so evident, both on tbe grounds of lend
ing assistance to an oppressed people
and on the grounds of political economy
and self interest, that it seems to be the
plain duty of our Government to take
such action in the matter as will secure
to the United States a colony of people
who will add so larjifly u the morality,
wealth, aud intelligence of the nation.

Mrs. Wootllinll's Sister Desires to Become
the Colonel of James Fisk's Kegiineut.
New Y.mfc, May G, 1ST2.
Dkar Sir : I understand that the
colonelcy of the gallant 9th Regiment of
the National Guard, mide vacant by the
death of James Fisk, Jr., still remains
unfilled ; also, that there are as yet but
two candidates for the position Jerome
B. Fellows and Robert G Gregg. both
of whom are men of respectability and
wealth, but it is to be seiiitisly question
od if such qualifications only can recom
mend them ti the regiment. Fisk had
wealth, youth, and brains. Under hi
guidance the regiment rtpidly took rank
in 1st Division as one of the most etfi
cient bodies of men in the service. His
men partook of his spirit and dash, and
each one felt the inspiration of his geni
us.
I protest that it would be a wrong to
the memory of tbe dead leader to select
as his successor any one who lacks tbe
magnetic influence he possessed over his
soldiers securing their love and admir
ation and communicating their enthusi
asm to the general public. It would b
an impediment to the further advance of
the regimeut to permit such a selection
In fact, it would be a blunder, and the
great captain, Napoleon I , declared a
blunder to bff worse than a crime.
Your connection with the Grand Op
era llouse brings you iu social contact
with the committee having tbe matter of
the selection of colonel in hand. See the
gentlemen, please, aud tell them I will
accept the position, and pledge myself, if
elected, to give such . an impetus to re
cruitiug that iu thirty days the 9;h Reg
lment will be the foremost iu the State
' There can be no objection to me save
that I am a woman. Permit me to re
mind those who urge it that Joaa d' Arc
was also a woman. While I do n t
make pretensions to the same military
genius she possessed, I may state that it
has always been my de.-ire to become
actively connected with the service, and
have always gratified a passion I have
for studying it4 rules and tactic", in
which I am well vet-sed.
I have no doubt that this communica
tion Will at first eight occasion iucred
ulity as to my intentions, but permit me
to assure you I am deeply aud forcibly
in earnest in the matter.
Yours, very sincerely,

IJfDIAS MASSACRE.
The Massacre at Howard's Well, Texas
IK'tails of the Horrible Affair.
Vasuixoto.n, May 17 A report
has been received at the War Depart
ment, detailing the capture by Indians
Mexicans and negroes combiucd, of a
traiii of supplies en route to Fort Stock
ton, i.t Howard's well, near old Fort
Lancast.. The facts are reported to
General Angtir by CJo'ud Merrill, of
the Ninth Cavalry, under date of Fort
Clarke, Texas, April 9. are as follows :
On thc 'rOJiTTi.-t I anivid wiih the
cavalry of my command" at Howard's
Well, a few hours too lato to prevent
out of the most ' horrible masacres that
has ever been perpetrated on this frontier.
A Mexican train loaded with United
States commissary and ordnance stores,
on its way from San Antonio to Fort
Stockton, was attacked and taken by In
dians, plundered and burned. All the
people with the train, seventeen in num
ber iu all, were killed or wounded, ex
cept one woman.
My command buried eleven bodies and
brought thiee wounded men and one wo
m:m into this pott. Before "arriving at
the burning train, the first iut'nvition
we bad of the terrible disaster w;ia the
chaired and blackened corpses of four of
the victims, but no one alive t' tell the
horrors of the affair. I supposed up to
this time that Captain Sheridan, with the
infantry of my coimn ind, was iu camp at
Howard's well, about a mile from the
scene of massacre, ami, while yet some
distance from the point, the smoke of
the burning wagons was mistaken for bis
camp fires, and confirmed me in ibis be
lief I knew, at least, that a sergeant and
four men were at the well in chargu of
forage tThe command moved rapidly
toward the well, wheu the sergeant in
charge, of the detachment at that point
was met, and pointed out the course the
ludiaus had taken with the stolen ani
main helongiiig to the train. In less time
thau it takes" to rela'e it the trail was
found and a rapid pursuit was at once
made by Companies A and II of the
Ninth Cavalry. commanded, respectively,
by Captain Cooney and Lieutenant Vin
cent. After following the trail some seven
or eight miles the cavalry came upon the
Iuiliniis iu force on the summit of a
steep aud almost inaccessible bluff. Here
a sharp fight occtured in which I regret
to say. Lieutenant Vincent fell mortally
wounded while bravely leading and at
tempting to control Lis men. He oieti
shortly after returning to camp, aliout
ten o'clock that night. Captain Cooney
wa p liuf illy though not seriously ii:j ired
by his horse fa ling aud dragging him
while moving at a rapid gait" He, how
ever, remounted aud ret iaied his com
mand. The men of bis company behaved
very well, but in great part " were re
cruits without experience iu Indian fiht
ing. which was the case in II Cmipany
to a still greater extent They squan
dered their ammunition, as sometimes
even older troops not well under control
will do with repeating or magazine arms
Lick of ammunition and supplies, as the
command was chai.ging it station, vith
limited transportation, nvtdts a nrtractd
pursuit of the Indians impracticable.
The escaped woman reports six Iudi
ans killed iu the fight. Words fad to
convey the sickening atrocities commit
ted by the demons, who overpowered the
train men. Several of them were taken
alive, tied to the wagons and burned.
An old woman was carried so:ne dis
tance from the place of the attack, then
shot and sc.ilj ed.
Her grandchild had its ears cut off,
was scalped and ha 1 its brains knocked
out. while her daughter, the m ither of
the child, who witnessed all, as also tbe
death of her hurband at the train, was
carried off by the fiends. Moie than
one poor wretch crawled from the burn
ing wagons after the ropes which bound
them had burned off, only-to be burned
to blackened, nnrecogniz ible masses
with their charred bands and faces raised
in positions of entreaty.
The train had nine men with it. Tbe
remainder tif the party were women and
children. It is feared one woman was
taken away by the band, though it is
possible she, as well as the other body
unaccounted for, was burned to ashes
with the wagons.
It is reported that the band cosisted of
from one hundred and twenty to one
hundred ajid fifty men, and was com
posed of Indians, Mtxicatis. and de
eerters from the army A number of
arms and supplies of ammunition were
taken from the train by the band before
burning it. How many arm I cannot j
say. It was th? snnnlv latelv aunt (rr.m

General Augur, in forwarding this re
port, expresses the opinion that th In
dians came from Mexico, and this belief
is sustained by the fact that Mexicans
were with them, and deserters from col
nred regiments, the latter universally go
ing iuto Mexico. .
