The Phi Gamma in war. [from the Richmond, Va., Dispatch, June 12, 1900.] A Federal officer speaks of incidents of great struggle. denunciation of General Shaw. The speaker Condemns the utterances of the G. A. R. Man at Atlanta—Instances of Restoration of good will and Fraternity. A Virginia reader of the Dispatch, who heard Colonel James M. Wells, of Toledo, O., deliver an address at the fifty-second annual convention of the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity at Niagara Falls, July 28th, was so pleased with the sentiments of the former Union soldier that he secured the manuscript and sent to the Dispatch for publication. The address will be read with interest by the thousands of Phi Gams of the South. It will be especially interesting to Confederate veterans, in view of Colonel Wells's denunciation of General Albert D. Shaw, of the Grand Army of the Republic, for his recent attack on the Southern soldier in a speech at Atlanta. Colonel Wells, by the way, fought under Sher

him, the Federal scooped out a grave, kissed the forehead and the hair of his brother Phi Gam, lowered his body into the grave, and tenderly covered it with the soil of Virginia. On November 24, 1863, as Hooker's men charged and captured Lookout Mountain, with its beetling crags, the right of the changing line passed over many wounded men lying on the rocky mountain side. One of these, a fair-haired, blue-eyed Confederate, looking up into the face of a Federal officer charging by him, said:he surgeon, and said Good-bye, Phi Gain., left him, and returned to his men. In January, 1895, this same Federal officer stood in the railroad station at Chattanooga, Tenn., and was explaining to a large number of Confederate veterans how Lookout Mountain was won. As he talked, one-legged, grizzled Confederate edged up to his side and gazed into his face wistfully, eagerly and with emotion so strongly portrayed in his face and his movements as to rivet the attention of all present.

Federal sang, Should auld acquaintance be forgot, shook hands in loving friendship, and went their different ways. These, my brothers, are some of the sacred memories of a Phi Gam in War. Very many scenes like these graced and glorified Southern battlefields during the great war. Such was the spirit that moved and controlled the men, Federals and Confederates alike, who stood on the fighting line and did their duty there. Such was the spirit that animated them as they assembled at Appomattox, Va., April 9, 1865, the veterans of the North silent, expectant, glad in the assured hope that peace was near, gazing with sympathy and profound respect upon their foes—the veterans of the South, in torn and ragged battalions, stacking and surrendering their arms, forever folding their battle torn colors, and turning, proud and self-reliant, toward their homes, there to take up the struggle for bread. Such has been the spirit—generous, manly, considerate—that has marked the behavior of t<

South. It will be especially interesting to Confederate veterans, in view of Colonel Wells's denunciation of General Albert D. Shaw, of the Grand Army of the Republic, for his recent attack on the Southern soldier in a speech at Atlanta. Colonel Wells, by the way, fought under Sherman, and placed the first Federal flag on the City Hall in Atlanta when that place was captured. Colonel Wells's speech was in response to the toast, The Phi Gam. in War. He said: On July 21, 1861, at Bull Run, Va., while the battle raged, a Federal soldier lay in the burning sun, sorely wounded, thirsty, faint from loss of blood, racked with pain, and almost famished. His regiment had moved to the right, and he was alone. Out of the woods near by stepped a stalwart Confederate, with blood on his face and a handkerchief bound about his head. He approached the wounded Federal, stooped over him, and said: Hello! Yank; be you wounded, be you much hurt? The Yank, rousing himself from his drowsin

; as you value my friendship, deal gently and uprightly with him. Give him your best attention, your best skill. He shall be carefully treated and carefully nursed, answered the surgeon. Turning to the wounded soldier, then resting in his lap, the Federal pressed his hand, bade him be patient and cheerful, commended him again to the surgeon, and said Good-bye, Phi Gain., left him, and returned to his men. In January, 1895, this same Federal officer stood in the railroad station at Chattanooga, Tenn., and was explaining to a large number of Confederate veterans how Lookout Mountain was won. As he talked, one-legged, grizzled Confederate edged up to his side and gazed into his face wistfully, eagerly and with emotion so strongly portrayed in his face and his movements as to rivet the attention of all present. When the Federal had ended his explanation the Confederate, dropping his crutches, placed his hands on the shoulders of the Federal and said: I believe I know you, sir. I know

embling with emotion he could not conceal the Federal said: I am that Federal, and you —— He could get no further. I am that Confederate sir, said the man, and winding his arm about the Federal, he kissed him and wept. The Federal wept with him, and the gray-haired Confederate veterans near, wept also. Gathering about the two, they joined their hands and arms, formed a mighty shield of loyal and loving hearts and sang: Long may our land be bright, With freedom's holy light Great God, our King. These grizzled veterans of the Gray and the Blue stood and sat and chatted of the old days, and sang till the light of morning warned them of the fleeting hours. Then, standing close together, shoulder to shoulder, in a ring, surrounding the Federal, the Confederates and the Federal sang, Should auld acquaintance be forgot, shook hands in loving friendship, and went their different ways. These, my brothers, are some of the sacred memories of a Phi Gam in War. Very many scenes like th
