r house to which Admiral Semmes repaired after the famous battle-his chief officer, Captain Kell, is standing at the extreme right. In this charming photograph of Milbrook Manor House near Southampton, England, appears a scene of 1864 at the quiet country-place to which Admiral Semmes of the Confederate warship, Alabama, and his chief executive officer, Captain Kell, retired for rest and recuperation after the loss of their vessel in the battle with the U. S. S. Kearsarge off the coast of France. On the right of the picture is Captain Kell, convalescing from his wound in this green, shaded retreat. Exquisitely rendered by the camera are the hoopskirts, the flowing scarfs, and the old-fashioned blouses of the women in the picture. Under a glass the detail comes out with startling reality, and for a moment the atmosphere of the place and the time is restored. The beautiful, vine-clad manor house, with the quaint group of women, bring back to remembrance the history of the cruiser

n's division on the battlefield of Chickamauga. It is said to have been sung by Captain Terry's regiment on the battlefield just previous to the actual engagement. The morning star is paling; the Camp fires flicker low Our steeds are madly neighing; for the bugle bids us go: So put the foot in stirrup and shake the bridle free, For today the Texas Rangers must cross the Tennessee. With Wharton for our leader, we'll chase the dastard foe, Till our horses bathe their fetlocks in the deep, blue Ohio. 'Tis joy to be a Ranger! to fight for dear Southland! 'Tis joy to follow Wharton, with his gallant, trusty band! 'Tis joy to see our Harrison plunge, like a meteor bright, Into the thickest of the fray, and deal his deadly might. O! who'd not be a Ranger and follow Wharton's cry! And battle for his country, and, if needs be, die? The Alabama Words by E. King music by F. W.

Bringrld along— Sing it as we used to sing it, fifty thousand strong, While we were marching through Georgia. Chorus— ‘Hurrah! Hurrah! we bring the jubilee, Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes you free!’ So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea, While we were marching through Georgia. How the darkeys shouted when they heard the joyful sound! How the turkeys gobbled which our commissary found! How the sweet potatoes even started from the ground, While we were marching through Georgia. The Southern Marseillaise A. E.

n thine. A hundred months-'twas flowery May, When up the hilly slope we climbed, To watch the dying of the day And hear the distant church bells chime. Mother kissed me in my dream Set to a plaintive melody—the words of this exquisite lyric gave comfort to many a lonely soldier. It is recorded that a wounded private of Colonel Benj. L. Higgins' 86th New York Infantry sang this song to cheer his comrades while they were halted in a piece of woods beyond the memorable wheat-field at Gettysburg, on the morning of July 3d, 1863. Lying on my dying bed Throa the dark and silent night, Praying for the coming day, Came a vision to my sight. Near me stood the forms I loved, In the sunlight's mellow gleam: Folding me unto her breast, Mother kissed me in my dream. Comrades, tell her, when you write, That I did my duty well; Say that when the battle raged, Fighting, in the van I fell; Tell her, too, when on my bed Slowly ebbed my being's stream, How I knew no peace until Mother kissed me
Hilton Head, S. C. (South Carolina, United States) (search for this): chapter 15
time and place of this negro song's creation This photograph appears here by a curious coincidence. With the presentation of the spiritual that commemorates an event of the war connected with the Confederate General Drayton, there has come to light a photograph of his home on Hilton Head in 1861. Through these gates, watched by loving eyes, he rode on the milk-white horse, the morning of the engagement at Bay Point. Mr. W. F. Allen, who collected many slave-songs, was told that, When de gun shoot at Bay Pint, General Drayton left a Negro boy holding his white war horse. He never returned to claim his steed and in some way the incident was commemorated in this spiritual, which is still sung on the plantations of Hilton Head Island. Observe the Negro mammies on the porch and at the gate, also the luxuriance of foliage framing the Southern house in a bower of greenery. Members of the Third New Hampshire regiment face the reader; for the house is now a rendezvous of Federal troops.

at home! Chorus- All de world am sad and dreary, Ebery where I roam; Oh, darkeys, how my heart grows weary, Far from de old folks at home! Cheer, boys, cheer Cheer, boys, cheer was sung by every man who fought in a Southern Kentucky or Tennessee regiment. General Basil Duke in his account of the battle of Shiloh, says— just as Breckinridge's division was going into action, we came upon the left of it where the Kentucky troops were formed. The bullets commenced to fly thick and fast all. 'Twas 'bout a poor unhappy slave, That lived for many a year; But now he's dead, and in his grave, No master does he fear. Chorus— The poor old slave has gone to rest, We know that he is free; Disturb him not but let him rest, Way down in Tennessee. When this cruel war is over With the quaint style of hair-dressing that ruled in 1864, in flowered skirt and ‘Garibaldi blouse,’ this beautiful woman, the wife of a Federal army officer, was photographed in front of the winter quarters o

The Bonnie blue flag Harry Macarthy South Carolina, the first state to secede from the Union, adopted a blue flag bearing a single white star in the center. Almost simultaneously with this change of flag there appeared the spirited song—the Bonnie blue flag. We are a band of brothers, and native to the soil, Fighting for the property we gained by honest toil; And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far, Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!
