"There are two wounded Secesh, " said my companion. I walked to thebedside of the first, who was an officer, a lieutenant, if I rememberright, from North Carolina. He was of good family, son of a judge inone of the higher courts of his State, educated, pleasant, gentle, intelligent. One moment's intercourse with such an enemy, lying helplessand wounded among strangers, takes away all personal bitterness towardsthose with whom we or our children have been but a few hours before indeadly strife. ...The basest lie which the murderous contrivers of thisRebellion have told is that which tries to make out a difference of racein the men of the North and South, It would be worth a year of battlesto abolish this delusion, though the great sponge of war that wiped itout were moistened with the best blood of the land. My Rebel was ofslight, scholastic habit, and spoke as one accustomed to tread carefullyamong the parts of speech. It made my heart ache to see him, a manfinished in the humanities and Christian culture, whom the sin of hisforefathers and the crime of his rulers had set in barbarous conflictagainst others of like training with his own, --a man who, but for thecurse that it is laid on our generation to expiate, would have beena fellow-worker with them in the beneficent task of shaping theintelligence and lifting the moral standard of a peaceful and unitedpeople.
