S tho train moves down
through Virginia, tho trav
eler pasi-oa over a territory
which has seen one of tho greatest
oyontB of human dovolopemont. It
should botho aim of every American to
some day visit tho scces of tho Vir
ginia campaigns, for hero Is only placo
whore tho effects of the war can bo fully
understood.
Sherman said war Is hell. Sherman
know, for no oilier conquering Invader
ever spread such desolation behind h'm
as Sherman was compelled to 1eavo in
that gigantic swath of ruin which mark
ed tho route from Atlanta to the sea
and from the soa north through the
Carol I mis. Sherman'R til to saving has
been ropeated so much that It passes as
a flippant jest. But it is a terrible truth.
War is hell, and more, for it is tho cul
mination of all tho ills that besot man
kind. We of tho North seo in war a
bereavement of families, a property loss
n additional taxation, and such tem
porary incidentals. But where the
campaign drags its blighting length
through tho weary years it Is another
Btory.
War raged four years In Virginia In
the most virulent form, and it meant
morn than simply killing men. . An
army of a hundred thousand men cannot
move along a country road lino a Sun
day school parade. When an army
moves, tho trail left is like the path of
a gruesomo plague. Tho track is ae
wide as counties, for an army cannot
move on a single track. When Virginia
emerged from the four years of de
struction, not only'wero hu men gono,
but hor homes were burned, hor farms
woro destroyed, Btock was scattered,
Beed corn as eaten, farming imple
ments had boon used for firewood when
fencerails (W6re exhausted, railroads
were pulled up, and destruction ruled
supremo. Wo can still sen evidences of
what war did for Virginia.
Not that. Virginia has stood still In
these forty years. ' 'f ho contrary is the
caso. But timo has not yet been able
to efface the scars.' We talk of tho
readiness with Which the French re
covered from the war with Germany
and paid an enormous Indemnity. We
should rather talk of the manner In
which Virginia, left with nothing but
the terrible momory of four years of
fire and conscription and foraging and
fighting and all tho horrors of war, has
como Into a courageous prosperity
and renewed her industries, created
new ohes and advanced with tho other
states of the nation. Virginia was the
soeno'of the most destructive war ever
fought. Every regiment on either side
was recruited from intelligence and
ability It is reputed to President
Lincoln that he said that every regi
ment that went to the front from the
North had sufficient matorial in It to
select a cabinet from as good as tho one
he had. All professions and all crafts
woro represented In the ranks. All
manner of American inventive genius
was called In to help make this war de
structive. The breech-loading rillo,
the machine gun, tho Iron ulad battle
ship, and an Innumerable list of Infernal
devic98 woro Invented and put Into
practical use in the war thatdevestated
Virginia. Tho whole country, tho most
civilized country on tho globe, with the
most limitless resources, was brought
into tho service to make tho war bell.
And while tho effects reached all over
the South, tho persistent and relentless
force swept back and forth from Rich
mond to Washington which Is tho
Potomac Valley of Virginia.
But cruol as the theory may seem,
wur has Its compensating Bide. From
every great war has followed a great
step In human progress. Tho Amerlean
people were awakened to a wondorous
now effort by tho civil war, and the
strides niado since the cloning days at
Appomattox aro without parallel in
the history of th,e race.
Thoro is a notion in the North that
the war la not yet over. The wrong
idea prevails, however, for In the South
the struggle has" boon too costly to let
lialredn occupy much time. Virginiu,
liki' the other Southern Stutcs, Is busy
plowing her farms, building ships anil
locomotive.., sawing lumber, fattening
shirk fill tin and constructing new
homes, to give attention to fighting tho
war over.- But in a way It Is not over,
and will not ho until tho state has again
reached the place to which it will one
day come financially and Industrially,
for Virginia Is a state of enormous
resources.
From Washington to Petersburg is it
constant repetition of the scenes of war.
After leaving Alexandria the first point,
that presents tangible evidences U
Fredericksburg. Tho sleepy old town
has not advanced a great deal si nor
Burnsidn lost eleven thousand men
there In the winter of 1802 In his hope
less effors to put between Leo and Rich
mond. On tho hill above thu town is a
cemetery kept by the National Govern
ment, and in It aro several thousand
Union soldiers. All over the South aro
Bimiliar witnesses tp the horrors of war.
Every great battlefied is perpetuated by
its National Cemetery, some of the
cemeteries having as high as fift.-eu
thousand soldier dead buried within
their walls.
Fredericksburg Is a cheerless spot,
possibly through the recollection of
disasters that beset tho Union Army at
the place. Burnside was given the
army that he might make good the
evil fortune that hud attended it under
MeClollan. Ho lost his one great fight
Fredericksburg, and asked to be re
lieved from command. Hooker follow
ed him, and In tho spring attempted to
dislodge Lee, who still remained en
camped near Fredericksburg. ' Tho ro
sult wus Chancollorsvillo, with the lots
of another twolvo thousand men. Next
year Grant came, and he commenced
his victorious campaign not far from
Fredericksburg, fighting tho Wilder
noss battles over the ground that had
soon the battle of Chancellorsvillo
under Hooker. Crant fought all 'the
way down to Richmoud, and his success
cost tho North sixty thousand men.
Fredericksburg is a quiot old town,
whore oyBters and fish aro sold, and
where farmers do their marketing. I
have been on many of the battlefields of
tho wars of our own country and In tho
Old World, but no placo sooms to hold
so much historical interest as tho
vicinity of Fredericksburg, for about
the old town tho North twice burled Its
hopes, and tbon with Grant as the com-,
mander, In that same vlclointy com
monced tho terriiio struggle, which
ended at the surrender of Loo. Wash
ington was a boy near Fredericksburg.
Other eminent .Virginians have lived
not far distant. While Washington
and Richmond woro the goals In the
great struggles Fredericksburg was tbe
center line of the field. Occasional
linos of earthworks and the Federal
Cemeteries are the visible signs to-day.
They aro enough, for the rest Is still
held vividly in the minds of the older
ones and told to the coming genera
tions whenever history Is road.
