Excerpt from Lyddy: A Tale of the Old South Officers and men that for four years struggled to tear down the Stars and Stripes, are to-day proudly planting Old Glory over a land oppressed by cruelty. In the words of Commodore Dewey, "There is no South, no North, but one united country." Old lines of differences are for ever obliterated. Descendants of Lee and Grant shouldered arms, and have been standing side by side, doing battle, at the will of the American Government. And in this cause of humanity men that were once bound by the yoke of servitude are taking an active part. Southern negroes have now enjoyed the blessings of freedom for more than thirty years, yet their faithfulness and devotion remain fresh in the minds of former owners, even as the harrowing scenes depicted by Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe continue to attract throngs of men, women, and children to theatres and halls.
