TUB A RODE OF FFAFF YET NOT LONG AGO IT WAS THE FIELD OF DESPERATE CONFLICTS. An All Day Meeting With the Primitive Itaptlsts Hit, of Virginia l.<»rat Color. A Few War Kccnl lec-t ion, — Familiar Agricultural Similes Farm Wages. [Special Correepondenec.) In Sanford County, Va., July 22.— As I rambled through the Wilderness it chanced that early on Sunday morning I entered a lieautifnl oak opening, in the center of which and crowning a low ridge is Zoiui church, pronounced Zoeluin. It seemed the very ulxsle of peace. A few miles to the north was United States ford, where most of Hooker’s army crossed in 18(18. Some miles to , the west of it was Germauua ford, by way of which Grant a yearJatcr plunged into the Wilderness. A few miles east of Zoan is Salem church, where Sedgwick fought the subsidiary battle of Chancellorsville. South of the first great, forest is Chancellor house, and west of that in turn are the Jackson monument, Wilderness church and the scene of the rout of the Eleventh corps. In every direction narrow wagon roads pierce tlie somber woods. On every road are many , places famous in local history for des- I perato conflicts, and yet this grove seems of all places in Virginia most fitted for a temple of ponce. A KaNket Meeting. A sturdy farmer who had brought a i barrel of ice water for the general good told me the Primitive Baptists were to have their regular all day meeting, including Sunday school, preaching, communion, dinner, afternoon preaching and finally sixial singing. So here was an opportunity to once more renew the great delight of my youth, a “basket meeting,” as we called them out west, in the dim wimxIh with all sorts of rural and primitive people for a congregation. And by 1) o’clock they were pouring in by all the roads and bridle paths, foxy looking lads on frisky ponies, more ; steady young farmers on beasts that had I had a day’s rest from the plow and been I curried and brushed into the likeness of roadsters, young ladies on natty sidesaddles, older ladies with babies iu arms and youngsters sitting behind and many sorts of folks iu vehicles ranging from the old family carriage and modem nobby buggy down to the farm wagon and gooart, with leafy boughs twined over them for shade. There was an equal variety of dress, but all were neat, and it gave me pleasure to note how fresh and ruddy every one looked. There was not a pale or sallow face iu all the assembly. If fried pork and saleratus biscuit have ruined the old Virginia constitution, as some folks say, there was no sign of it here. Ah, if we could have the color and freshness of the country with the style and settings of the city united in one class, what an attractive class it would be I I was surprised at the' number who knew me, for people had come from every battlefield I had lately visited, and all chatted with great animation about the weather and tb crops, the latest “find” on the battlefield, the prospect for better times and plenty of money and the relative chances of the political parties. I was introduced right and left,

THERK WAS A DASH TO HELP HER ALIGHT. every introduction followed by the statement that "this is our northern friend who has been Itxiking over the battlefields,” and there was many an iuvita tiou to take dinner with the introduced or to call at his house if convenient. I observed, however, that the young fellows never let their interest in the conversation relax their watch on the roads, and whenever a young lady rode in unattended there was a dash to help her alight and hitch her horse. Though many started, the final dash was generally limited to two, and from the sly smiles exchanged I gathered that the everlasting rivalry for the smiles of a particular fair one was going on here as lively as in the cities. In the midst of a statement that “the farmer catches it both ways in this money business” one man suddenly stooped and scratched out a bullet which showed in the **il. It had struck something and been partially flattened, but an old veteran was called and promptly pronounced, “That is a rebel bullet, ” and proved it by the grooving and indentation where buckshot had been bound in the cartridge with the ball. A quaint Sermon. The little church was soon filled with the women and girls, and the men stood at the door and windows. The Sunday school consisted of a general free talk, as the manner of the Baptists is, and a great deal of singing. Before entering on his sermon the preacher indulged iu some caustic criticism of the new tunes applied to the old songs and insisted on the congregation all joining in and trying some of the old tunes. They tried it twice, and. I regret to add, made a rasping failure both times, which the preacher said almost set his teeth on edge. The subject of his sermon was that meeting of the disciples when Thomas was not present and so failed to «m» the Lord, and bn had not sunken five

sentences till 1 saw ne wouin nave mane a success iu our profession. He was a born paragrapher. In a droll and reverently humorous style he went over the various excuses Christians give for not being at church. First were the bad roads, and the roads, he admitted, were very bad this rainy summer, but they were never too bad for hauling ties. Getting out railroad ties is a big business iu the Wilderness. He told in turn of those who are too tired on Sunday morning, those who are ashamed of their clothes and those who want to spend Sunday with their families, giving the last a particularly sharp slap for hypocrisy. The sermon had the greatest of all merits—it was eminently fi'ting to the time and place, especially in its application to the habits of tlie people. The general public retired while the communion was partaken of, and then came the interesting event of the day. Through all the grove were generous spreads on logs and on seats lifted from the wagons of fried chicken, boiled eggs, beef and ham, prepared fruits of many kinds and fruit pies and cake galore. One fact struck me as odd. Even when one was eating some one would come up and invite him to eat elsewhere, and then tlie dialogue ran like

this:

“Como and eat with us. ” "Thank you, I am quite well provid-

ed for. ”

“Well, come over anyhow and take a piece of cake with us,” or “My wife has some cherry pie she’d like to have you taste.” And many, having eaten a regular dinner iu one squad, went around and tasted cake and pie at several other places. I suppose it is old Virginia style, and at any rate it is very

pleasant.

Iu Wartime*

After dinner there was more relaxa tiou. The young people paired and rode off, and the men, instead of grouping at the Windows to listen, grouped under the trees to talk. And their talk was racy of the soil and full of information. One told how he tried to escape from Hooker's army, was captured and spent five weeks in the old eapitol prison. Another had been in various Federal prisons 1!) months before (ligy could decide whether lie was a spy, a bushwhacker or a regular Confederate soldier. Finally he got the benefit of the doubt, was exchanged and “in time to git into several mighty gixxl tights, I tell you. Hah. ” There are very few old soldiers indeed. Nearly all who talk of the war were children in 1861-5, and I was surprised at the singular freedom with which they spoke of the different views held. I was greatly interested iu the talk of a Mr. Wharton who lives at White’s crossing, on the narrow gauge, and in it I found some explanation of the great discrepancy between tlie list of missing and that of those captured by the Confederates. He told me how men fell everywhere in the woods but slightly wounded and slipped off at night. “As the battle lines shifted this way and that,” said he, “mother’s house was twice between the lines, but finally it was away northeast of the Federal*, and then it was filled with men not hurt bad enough to worry. One of these fellows staid up stairs for three weeks and kept me on the watch to sw who was coming, and by and by they made up quite a little squad and got citizens’ clothes—for they had plenty of money —and struck out northwest, saying they would not go back to the army. I was 12 years old, and while we sat in the cellar we could hear the cannon balls whistling loud and clear as they went hark and forward on the north side of the place. By and by bullets whistled near, and now and then a cannon shot would take a bite out of the stable or roof of the house with a crash that made us all cringe, but none of us was hurt. Here is a buckle I plowed up just south of the Chancellorsville field.” It was an ordinary buckle of the Federal soldier’s belt, with the big U. 8., but had indented in rude letters the words, “W.

H. Smith, Brooklyn, N. Y.” Where liuinblebeeH Kneel.

Two-thirds of Hpotteylvania county is of laud so wretchedly poor that all familiar western similes fail to describe it. I might say it is so poor that the bumblebees have to kneel down to get at the white clover; that the worst tracts are fenced to keep cattle from straying on them and starving to death, and that the sand is too poor to sprout a pea till it is soaked, and tlie clay so very white and cheesy that it gives the stranger sore eyes, and yet the Ohio valley man would not realize how poor the land is. New ground will bring tolerable crops, as crops g in this country, without a fertilizer. After that a man must put into the soil whatever he expects to get out of it. Guano and bone permanently improve the land, but chemical fertilizers merely force it to give up its plant elements and finally make it so “thirsty ’’that the crops burn up. Some old plantations
