On a recent trip through the South 1 visited the bivouac of the Confederate veterans at Jackson, Tenn. While looking at the relics my attention was drawn to an engraving in which were hewn some lines that were copied from the original that had been written on the back of a 10 note of the Confederate States of America. The poem was surrounded by a number of such notes. The gentleman by whose kindness I had been admitted mounted a stool and read the poem for me. As he read my mind reverted to the days of the spring of 65, when I witnessed the disbanding of the Confederate armies. At the time they were w ending their ways to their homes and I used to think that some day they would show the world that fbey were Americans still.
