GEN. BUSHROD JOHNSON’S RECORD.

An entertaining address is printed in this VETERAN by John S. Wise at the medal or badge presentation to Col. Edward Owen, the eminently successful commander of the New York Confederate Veteran Camp. It is not to be understood that this publication is an endorsement of Mr. Wise’s course in many things. He wrote an article sometime since reflecting upon Gen. Bushrod Johnson which will be replied to by Judge H. H. Cook. Judge Cook, it will be remembered, is the author of four articles in the VETERAN—in March, April, and

(JUDGE H.H. COOK AS A YOUNG SOLDIER.)

May of 1897 and March, I898-upon the severe treatment of the noted six hundred Confederate offcers placed under the fire of our own guns in retaliatory measures. Although dead now, it is due to the memory of Gen. Bushrod Johnson that high tribute be paid for his efficiency and faithfulness as a Confederate commander, although a Northern man. Erelong something of the very high qualities of Gen. Johnson nay be recorded in the VETERAN, and Judge Cook’s able pen will find hearty welcome in that service.
