war by w ii neave chapter 111 ft was some time before the great mass of north carolinians devoted as we have seen to peace and national union could or would believe that they were as mere atomic automata plunged into tie horrid vortex of a fratricidal suicidal war it seemed only the mock ing diablery of a suffocating nightmare rut with a full comprehension of its terrible reality there came an entire re vulsion of feeling that of self-preser vation patriotism is not by any means a cardinal virtue for when divested of vague sentiment aud mock heroics the residue on strict analysis — presents only these simple selfish essences — love of life self home family friend neighbors and all such as an connected bv direct community of interest this theory is based on the same general principles that actuate true religion as evolved by jesus christ when he said : if vou do not love your brother man whom vou litre seen how canyon love vour father in heaven whom you have not seen i make this observation in no polemical spirit bat as suggestive of the injunction judge as - e would be judged or put yourself ill his place it is due to the largc-souled men of north and south that i here reproduce a noble utterance of i ol lones of the sixth massachusetts regiment in his address al their reunion in boston april la 1883 time has tempered the bitter ness of t heconflict and as we look back we realize that though mistaken the masses who fought us so gallantly were inspired bv motives as high and holy to them as ours were to us i now re sume society marks were levelled pro ten and humanity was in a seel hing,feverisli whirl volunteering tor short and in definite terms buyingup revolvers con verting tiles info monstrous knives ea - a vague feeling seemingly pervading many that the prospective fighting was to lie on tlee ancient styleof single com bat ! all restraint beingoff couchaut secessionists were now rampant ex acting and dictatorial many of them snubbed and derided those who had dung to the union and some said they dnl not want nor need union men in the fight while others even went so far as to say that while union men mia r ht be allowed to fight against the invaders no rank above a private soldier should be conferred on them ! but despite the vaporings ofthe secessionists,there were not enough of them in north carolina to have formed tiie rank aud tile of one full regiment and after the holiday effervescence of the lirst few months neatly all of them who had volunteered to fight as officers resigned to obey ( ? ) calls to lill safe and lucrative post { positions at home the men who stood staunchly by the union while they j could were the men who did the fight j ing for their homes after being render led powerless to do aught else it was the urgent appeals of this class to re main with them and get up bauds to inspire them on the march and cheer them iu camp that decided me clearly against mv interests and inclinations — to resisl the offers and entreaties of relatives and friends in europe and to cast my lot with the south of whose ■terrible outcome i had a vivid premoni tion moreover i had always heen i treated by all classes in the south with extreme kindness respect and liberal ' support and to leave them because a fortuitous cloud of calamities hung over i them for whose presence they as a people were no more responsible than ! was seemed to me as nothing less than cowardly desertion and base ingrati tude and much as i suffered and lost by it my conscience still approves the stand 1 took digressions thus at the outset must be made for though i mean to present only episodes of the war in army band connection yet in order to clearly define my position ami actuating motives i must present such happenings as induced me to forego my intention of returning to europe the whole war scheme was original ly a huge game of bluff aggravated by the criminal folly of the leaders respec tively north and south imbuing the masses with the most quixotic ideas of their own prowess with a correspond ing underestimate of the courage and physical endurance of their opponents — tor instance on the one hand one southern man was equal to ten yan kees and on the otlier a handful of northern men armed with cornstalks could route a whole southern regiment 1 the triii obgervers and serious thinkers oi both sections knew better but their statements and counsels had no saving influence much as i deplored and condemned secession there were some of its notable exponents in north carolina for whom i had the highest respect and whose memories 1 shall always revere because all manly virtues were theirs and politically they proved their sincerity by the sacrifice of everything dear to them i will name only one and 1 do that because my lirst venture as a band master within heitriiitj range of hostile guns was made under his auspices i mean col chas f fisher of salisbury killed iu the first battle of manasses father ofthe famous southern novelist whose wmi de plume i.s christian kcid miss frances fisher he was wealthy and as president of the north carolina railroad evy influential he raised a full regiment the sixth north carolina — of picked men large ly at his own expense and having had a military education in youth in as its colonel soon had it finely discip lined he was also like prominent men in every state full of state pride he therefore engaged my salisbury hand at fifty dollars per day net to escort his regiment to virginia when ordered there hoping and believing that this band would eclipse all the bands from other states in the johnston and beauregard armies we joined the regiment at raleigh duly 7 1801 and moved at once by rail to virginia at richmond a halt of one day was made and we were reviewed on the capitol grounds by president davis and col r la lee and good heavens ! strutting between them was a dapper smirking merchant of salisburv the most gor geously broad-clothed tasselled tin selled feathered and festooned little man i ever saw and who for his blatant seeessionism — after it was a fixed fact consummate cheek am ir repressible elbowing push had been in stalled state commissary of north car olina ! ! this was indicative of one weak and detestable trait of jeff davis in that he favored fawning sycophants and crushed as much as he could all who dared todiffer from his views a thorough egotist and auto crat this i knew from his course as secretary of war under fierce but this execrable policy orimpolicy aspresi dent of the confederacy was as yet un developed and he was the idol of the dazed masses at that time hurrah for davis tilling the air whenever he ap peared or his name was called after a day's feasting and gush we took a train for manassas the pe iple along the route seemed in a chronic state of jubilation and gave us a con tinuous ovation it may have been a sort of hysteric excitation affecting all classes but i was impressed with a con viction that neither soldiers nor people believed there would be much of a light nor duration of war worth speaking of for in every detail our trip seemed merely a gala-military excursion i then imagined and afterwards knew that matters and things inthe north were boiling and bubbling in like man ner we got to manassas junction sun day morning the spread of canvass ' seemed interminable extending we were told far beyond the dip of the horizon right and left id us strict discipline did not seem to dominate the camps for the show-off music we played when our train halted in the centre of this vast encampment drew a motley throng of soldier-looking men around our car many of whom were members of the numerous bauds gath ered there from all the southern states among these 1 had many acquaintances who r ot into the car or reached through its windows to hake tiie only man i found in sympathy with my apprehensive forebodings that war's barbarities were certain and soon to be upon us was jim smith an english man leader of tin band from richmond lie also told me that the only tine bands in camp were his and gessner's from j new orleans and that mine being i from north carolina was a genuine surprise to all for it wa - as !_ r o..il as heirs members of other hands said it very much excelled theirs towards evening before we had a chance to hear any of the bands our regiment got orders to join the forces of gen jos e johnston at winchester we reached that city next day after dinner debouched from the train and took our lirst foot march through town ' and joined john-ton's army four miles beyound it and our regiment was at . once posted in a field of cut and shock ed wheat the advance and attack of j greu patterson was momentarily ex j jiected and i freely confess that my fancy was painfully exercised with very ! ripe fears of the onset and although i j repressed all outward signs of trepida j tion my all absorbing desire was to be j ordered/a - to the rear instanter non ' combatants who have been similarly situated can readily imagine the serene ! feeling of relief that fil'-fcd me when col fisher came to a 1 and said neave take your hand into winches ter and put up at a hotel you would only be in our way and in needless danger here did i feign a mild sort of protest not any l never obeyed an order with such joyous alacrity be fore nor since we found many ; spruce ornately embellished military in our hotel and about town such as are always found in tae far-off rear just before the battle they are mostly of the commissary and quartermaster kid ney with a sprinkling of medical gents in soldier toggery who attend to commissioned combatants that have become suddenly sick from goneness of pluck and palpitation ofthe heart this class of soldiers ( . ) are by nature and opportunity pre-eminent as mashers of soft-horned commandants and sus ceptible females after supper our band was trotted around under the wing of these ardenl worshippers of the sex and safe posi tions serenading the ladies till bedtime when it was proposed to go out to head quarters and give lien 1 e johnston a serenade 1 objeeted to this as utter ly incongruous in such a crisis that gen johnston was not a carpet knight 1 ' but a brusque matter-of-fact soldier over-loaded at present with most vital responsibilities who would be annoyed and possibly feel incensed and insulted by such an inopportune serenade hut tie enthusiastic projec tors of this fa nx jias were positive that he would be delighted with our splendid music so with the excep tion of myself and one f the band — theo f yvolle now teacher of music in the moravian college at hethlehem l'a — it was unanimously voted proper to give jell johnston a dose of our delectable music under such pressure 1 withdrew my veto and went at the close of our first piece a grim orderly as stiff and straight as the musket he hugged marched up to us aud spake thus gen johnston says stop that damned noise and get away from here or he will have you all arrested for dis turbing him 1 any attempt to de scribe the effect of this terse address would impugn the imagination of the reader in short therefore he ordered us to git and we got you bet ; but we hadn't got far before a wind storm of the most profuse anathemati cal and hydratongued profanity broke out all over that discomfited self-sold crowd excepting wolleaiui myself who fairly screamed out laughter all the way back to winchester as gen patterson had not advanced col fisher rod to town next morning aud settled up in full with me giving separate passes home for each of the band saying his expectations had been overfilled since the north carolina band was generally conceded to be by far the best that had come to the front he invited any or all of the band who desired to see the impending battle fought to remain and mess with him and several of us did for in the then excited and expectant condition of the people it would have been deemed dis graceful in a uniformed body of men to be seen and heard as a baud returning : from the seat of war before a battle had been fought | the result is a matter ot history so 1 will only briefly outline its effect on col fisher patterson slipped off from i johnston ; but the latter a:i old shrewd soldier understood the game > and made a counter move a rapid forced march to manassas and got | there at mid-day when the battle r i;„l hun w;is almost fought out ami heauregard was iu much the same predicament that wellington was m at waterloo when hlucher re-enforced him for using his own words victory hung in the balance perceptibly in clining lo the northern sice hut johnston soon turned the scale over whelmingly against the north rn troops as soon as his regiment took posi tion col fisher advanced alone to reconnoitre it was supposed and was shot in the forehead and instantly killed he was warned against this foolish temerity but followed closely by his faithful negro servant who at c sei/.ed and carried his corpse to the rear i always believed that n would have been far better for the south and the whole country if the result of that battle had been reversed jim smith a'"t back to richmond and stayed there but betook with him from the battle-field several of the n stru incuts and the monster bass drum - with its baud card painted on the off foul of joe green's american hand : of providence ii 1 as joe and his hand had been the giusts of jim smith in richmond just one year previously the dig instruments of the band coming back to him in this way furnished the points of jim's joke par excellence — to me whenever i saw him as i always did when passing through richmond all during the war after the war i lost track of him hav ing never stopped over in that city since i am therefore unable to state how joe green and jim smith adjusted that instrumental muddle if at all men who get alon best it seems a pity to say it but obser vation sustains the statement that men of course fibre obtnseness of feeling and cold-headed circumspection in dealing yvith their fellows get along better than men of chivalrous instincts deli cate sensibilities and that generous credulity which those practice who never meditating wrong thanselvcs never suspect it in others the gentle man in the best acceptance of the term tinds ionian is a hard road to travel and often sigs to be at the end of the journey 11 is annoyed hy the imper tinent inquisitivenss saddened by the meanness and often roblied by rascals who have taken his measure as the hawk does of somegentler bird it selects for its jury the public men in the countrv who had a high code of ethics have been constantly misunderstood the rough and ready class will not un understand reserve and the schemer and scamp laughs at honesty even in the very domestic circle too fine a sense of the proprieties misses its mark and society only recognizes surface manners it does not care to go deeper in fact it die res not do so it is a mel ancholy thing that the man who edu cates his children as nearly as possible to the ideal plane of thought and con duct simply prepares them for sorrow and mishaps what a transition from the ingenious confiding and noble-spir ited young man of twenty-one and the sobered and handsome man of fifty who has seen all illusions trampled in

war by w ii neave chapter 111 ft was some time before the great mass of north carolinians devoted as we have seen to peace and national union could or would believe that they were as mere atomic automata plunged into tie horrid vortex of a fratricidal suicidal war it seemed only the mock ing diablery of a suffocating nightmare rut with a full comprehension of its terrible reality there came an entire re vulsion of feeling that of self-preser vation patriotism is not by any means a cardinal virtue for when divested of vague sentiment aud mock heroics the residue on strict analysis — presents only these simple selfish essences — love of life self home family friend neighbors and all such as an connected bv direct community of interest this theory is based on the same general principles that actuate true religion as evolved by jesus christ when he said : if vou do not love your brother man whom vou litre seen how canyon love vour father in heaven whom you have not seen i make this observation in no polemical spirit bat as suggestive of the injunction judge as - e would be judged or put yourself ill his place it is due to the largc-souled men of north and south that i here reproduce a noble utterance of i ol lones of the sixth massachusetts regiment in his address al their reunion in boston april la 1883 time has tempered the bitter ness of t heconflict and as we look back we realize that though mistaken the masses who fought us so gallantly were inspired bv motives as high and holy to them as ours were to us i now re sume society marks were levelled pro ten and humanity was in a seel hing,feverisli whirl volunteering tor short and in definite terms buyingup revolvers con verting tiles info monstrous knives ea - a vague feeling seemingly pervading many that the prospective fighting was to lie on tlee ancient styleof single com bat ! all restraint beingoff couchaut secessionists were now rampant ex acting and dictatorial many of them snubbed and derided those who had dung to the union and some said they dnl not want nor need union men in the fight while others even went so far as to say that while union men mia r ht be allowed to fight against the invaders no rank above a private soldier should be conferred on them ! but despite the vaporings ofthe secessionists,there were not enough of them in north carolina to have formed tiie rank aud tile of one full regiment and after the holiday effervescence of the lirst few months neatly all of them who had volunteered to fight as officers resigned to obey ( ? ) calls to lill safe and lucrative post { positions at home the men who stood staunchly by the union while they j could were the men who did the fight j ing for their homes after being render led powerless to do aught else it was the urgent appeals of this class to re main with them and get up bauds to inspire them on the march and cheer them iu camp that decided me clearly against mv interests and inclinations — to resisl the offers and entreaties of relatives and friends in europe and to cast my lot with the south of whose ■terrible outcome i had a vivid premoni tion moreover i had always heen i treated by all classes in the south with extreme kindness respect and liberal ' support and to leave them because a fortuitous cloud of calamities hung over i them for whose presence they as a people were no more responsible than ! was seemed to me as nothing less than cowardly desertion and base ingrati tude and much as i suffered and lost by it my conscience still approves the stand 1 took digressions thus at the outset must be made for though i mean to present only episodes of the war in army band connection yet in order to clearly define my position ami actuating motives i must present such happenings as induced me to forego my intention of returning to europe the whole war scheme was original ly a huge game of bluff aggravated by the criminal folly of the leaders respec tively north and south imbuing the masses with the most quixotic ideas of their own prowess with a correspond ing underestimate of the courage and physical endurance of their opponents — tor instance on the one hand one southern man was equal to ten yan kees and on the otlier a handful of northern men armed with cornstalks could route a whole southern regiment 1 the triii obgervers and serious thinkers oi both sections knew better but their statements and counsels had no saving influence much as i deplored and condemned secession there were some of its notable exponents in north carolina for whom i had the highest respect and whose memories 1 shall always revere because all manly virtues were theirs and politically they proved their sincerity by the sacrifice of everything dear to them i will name only one and 1 do that because my lirst venture as a band master within heitriiitj range of hostile guns was made under his auspices i mean col chas f fisher of salisbury killed iu the first battle of manasses father ofthe famous southern novelist whose wmi de plume i.s christian kcid miss frances fisher he was wealthy and as president of the north carolina railroad evy influential he raised a full regiment the sixth north carolina — of picked men large ly at his own expense and having had a military education in youth in as its colonel soon had it finely discip lined he was also like prominent men in every state full of state pride he therefore engaged my salisbury hand at fifty dollars per day net to escort his regiment to virginia when ordered there hoping and believing that this band would eclipse all the bands from other states in the johnston and beauregard armies we joined the regiment at raleigh duly 7 1801 and moved at once by rail to virginia at richmond a halt of one day was made and we were reviewed on the capitol grounds by president davis and col r la lee and good heavens ! strutting between them was a dapper smirking merchant of salisburv the most gor geously broad-clothed tasselled tin selled feathered and festooned little man i ever saw and who for his blatant seeessionism — after it was a fixed fact consummate cheek am ir repressible elbowing push had been in stalled state commissary of north car olina ! ! this was indicative of one weak and detestable trait of jeff davis in that he favored fawning sycophants and crushed as much as he could all who dared todiffer from his views a thorough egotist and auto crat this i knew from his course as secretary of war under fierce but this execrable policy orimpolicy aspresi dent of the confederacy was as yet un developed and he was the idol of the dazed masses at that time hurrah for davis tilling the air whenever he ap peared or his name was called after a day's feasting and gush we took a train for manassas the pe iple along the route seemed in a chronic state of jubilation and gave us a con tinuous ovation it may have been a sort of hysteric excitation affecting all classes but i was impressed with a con viction that neither soldiers nor people believed there would be much of a light nor duration of war worth speaking of for in every detail our trip seemed merely a gala-military excursion i then imagined and afterwards knew that matters and things inthe north were boiling and bubbling in like man ner we got to manassas junction sun day morning the spread of canvass ' seemed interminable extending we were told far beyond the dip of the horizon right and left id us strict discipline did not seem to dominate the camps for the show-off music we played when our train halted in the centre of this vast encampment drew a motley throng of soldier-looking men around our car many of whom were members of the numerous bauds gath ered there from all the southern states among these 1 had many acquaintances who r ot into the car or reached through its windows to hake tiie only man i found in sympathy with my apprehensive forebodings that war's barbarities were certain and soon to be upon us was jim smith an english man leader of tin band from richmond lie also told me that the only tine bands in camp were his and gessner's from j new orleans and that mine being i from north carolina was a genuine surprise to all for it wa - as !_ r o..il as heirs members of other hands said it very much excelled theirs towards evening before we had a chance to hear any of the bands our regiment got orders to join the forces of gen jos e johnston at winchester we reached that city next day after dinner debouched from the train and took our lirst foot march through town ' and joined john-ton's army four miles beyound it and our regiment was at . once posted in a field of cut and shock ed wheat the advance and attack of j greu patterson was momentarily ex j jiected and i freely confess that my fancy was painfully exercised with very ! ripe fears of the onset and although i j repressed all outward signs of trepida j tion my all absorbing desire was to be j ordered/a - to the rear instanter non ' combatants who have been similarly situated can readily imagine the serene ! feeling of relief that fil'-fcd me when col fisher came to a 1 and said neave take your hand into winches ter and put up at a hotel you would only be in our way and in needless danger here did i feign a mild sort of protest not any l never obeyed an order with such joyous alacrity be fore nor since we found many ; spruce ornately embellished military in our hotel and about town such as are always found in tae far-off rear just before the battle they are mostly of the commissary and quartermaster kid ney with a sprinkling of medical gents in soldier toggery who attend to commissioned combatants that have become suddenly sick from goneness of pluck and palpitation ofthe heart this class of soldiers ( . ) are by nature and opportunity pre-eminent as mashers of soft-horned commandants and sus ceptible females after supper our band was trotted around under the wing of these ardenl worshippers of the sex and safe posi tions serenading the ladies till bedtime when it was proposed to go out to head quarters and give lien 1 e johnston a serenade 1 objeeted to this as utter ly incongruous in such a crisis that gen johnston was not a carpet knight 1 ' but a brusque matter-of-fact soldier over-loaded at present with most vital responsibilities who would be annoyed and possibly feel incensed and insulted by such an inopportune serenade hut tie enthusiastic projec tors of this fa nx jias were positive that he would be delighted with our splendid music so with the excep tion of myself and one f the band — theo f yvolle now teacher of music in the moravian college at hethlehem l'a — it was unanimously voted proper to give jell johnston a dose of our delectable music under such pressure 1 withdrew my veto and went at the close of our first piece a grim orderly as stiff and straight as the musket he hugged marched up to us aud spake thus gen johnston says stop that damned noise and get away from here or he will have you all arrested for dis turbing him 1 any attempt to de scribe the effect of this terse address would impugn the imagination of the reader in short therefore he ordered us to git and we got you bet ; but we hadn't got far before a wind storm of the most profuse anathemati cal and hydratongued profanity broke out all over that discomfited self-sold crowd excepting wolleaiui myself who fairly screamed out laughter all the way back to winchester as gen patterson had not advanced col fisher rod to town next morning aud settled up in full with me giving separate passes home for each of the band saying his expectations had been overfilled since the north carolina band was generally conceded to be by far the best that had come to the front he invited any or all of the band who desired to see the impending battle fought to remain and mess with him and several of us did for in the then excited and expectant condition of the people it would have been deemed dis graceful in a uniformed body of men to be seen and heard as a baud returning : from the seat of war before a battle had been fought | the result is a matter ot history so 1 will only briefly outline its effect on col fisher patterson slipped off from i johnston ; but the latter a:i old shrewd soldier understood the game > and made a counter move a rapid forced march to manassas and got | there at mid-day when the battle r i;„l hun w;is almost fought out ami heauregard was iu much the same predicament that wellington was m at waterloo when hlucher re-enforced him for using his own words victory hung in the balance perceptibly in clining lo the northern sice hut johnston soon turned the scale over whelmingly against the north rn troops as soon as his regiment took posi tion col fisher advanced alone to reconnoitre it was supposed and was shot in the forehead and instantly killed he was warned against this foolish temerity but followed closely by his faithful negro servant who at c sei/.ed and carried his corpse to the rear i always believed that n would have been far better for the south and the whole country if the result of that battle had been reversed jim smith a'"t back to richmond and stayed there but betook with him from the battle-field several of the n stru incuts and the monster bass drum - with its baud card painted on the off foul of joe green's american hand : of providence ii 1 as joe and his hand had been the giusts of jim smith in richmond just one year previously the dig instruments of the band coming back to him in this way furnished the points of jim's joke par excellence — to me whenever i saw him as i always did when passing through richmond all during the war after the war i lost track of him hav ing never stopped over in that city since i am therefore unable to state how joe green and jim smith adjusted that instrumental muddle if at all men who get alon best it seems a pity to say it but obser vation sustains the statement that men of course fibre obtnseness of feeling and cold-headed circumspection in dealing yvith their fellows get along better than men of chivalrous instincts deli cate sensibilities and that generous credulity which those practice who never meditating wrong thanselvcs never suspect it in others the gentle man in the best acceptance of the term tinds ionian is a

the hawk does of somegentler bird it selects for its jury the public men in the countrv who had a high code of ethics have been constantly misunderstood the rough and ready class will not un understand reserve and the schemer and scamp laughs at honesty even in the very domestic circle too fine a sense of the proprieties misses its mark and society only recognizes surface manners it does not care to go deeper in fact it die res not do so it is a mel ancholy thing that the man who edu cates his children as nearly as possible to the ideal plane of thought and con duct simply prepares them for sorrow and mishaps what a transition from the ingenious confiding and noble-spir ited young man of twenty-one and the sobered and handsome man of fifty who has seen all illusions trampled in
