ral, what command is that? The answer came with pride and tenderness in the tone: General Lee, it is the Charleston light Dragoons, and sir, I would rather be a private soldier of that command than to wear to-day the decoration of the Legion of honor. Like wine, time sometimes flavors records of men and horses. Two of the oldest cavalry companies, Dragoons, intact to-day, of the Philadelphia City Troops, and the Charleston Light Dragoons. For a principle they, each of them, fought in 1776, and for the same reason in 1861 to 1865—in the latter years one represented the blue; the other the gray. Each maintained its organization, and when the time comes, rest assured that where duty calls, these men of the Old Dragoons will ever be found. Thank God that we have living to-day the men who wore the Gray high up in rank-great in military achievements and who are willing to award to the private soldier of the Confederacy, of every branch of service, the glory that belongs to each.
