57212	He took for his text on that occasion:"If thou hast run with the footmen and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses?

4259	I had not seen him since he came back, and I sung out:"''Hello, Lieutenant, how do you feel?''
4259	Is there no hope?
4259	Let''s see: where was I?
4259	We looked toward each other, almost speechless with glad surprise, and then gasped out:"Did''you hear THAT?"
4259	What are you doing there?"
4259	Why do n''t you shoot the-------- Yankee son------------?"
4257	All right; how much have you got?
4257	But,broke in the leader of the bean party,"Uncle, do n''t they also call them beans?"
4257	What Yank? 4257 And be sure that the reply would be, after a furtive glance around to see that no officer was watching:Yes; how much do you want for them?"
4257	Approaching the Major, he said,"Who is in command this force?"

4257	Now, is the man who robs you every day too tender- hearted ever to cuff or kick you?
4257	Now, uncle, what do they call that there?"
4257	Or would it be monstrous injustice and cruelty?
4257	Said I:"Now, is n''t that fine, Berkstresser?"
4257	The Rebel would look convinced, and demand:"Why, how many men have you got in de cah?"
4257	The dispute invariably began by their asking:"Well, what are you''uns down here a- fightin''we''uns for?"
4257	The question that demanded immediate solution then was:"Who is the traitor who has informed the Rebels?"
4257	Then came:"What do you''uns put our niggers to fightin''we''uns for?"

4258	For the purpose of making investigations there?
4258	Has your experience been as a practitioner, or rather as an investigator of medicine as a science?

4258	How long have you held your position in that college?
4258	How were you employed during the Rebellion?
4258	Is it accurate?

4258	Or,"Eddie, son, wo n''t you have another piece of this nice steak?"
4258	Regular stand- up- and knock- down, or rough and tumble?"
4258	The questioner was always silenced by the return interrogatory:"Is that as bad as running white men down with blood hounds?"

52121	Why so, General?
52121	Will this do?
52121	All through the night, while passing stray troops on the road, I could hear the question,"Who have you there?"
52121	At Richmond we took the oath, as prescribed, to the United States Government, the courteous Federal officer asking pleasantly if it"tasted bad?"
52121	But why did we not attack on the 14th in daylight?
52121	Ca n''t you send us General Lee?
52121	Can not you help me?"
52121	Franklin should have been, I think, the man for Lincoln; but who knows?
52121	Had he been with Lee where would our commander have made his battle?
52121	It amused the infantry footing it on the side paths, and they would call out,"Here comes the cavalry, but what''s that gun tied to the tail for?"

38418	MAJOR- GENERAL GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN:When may we expect General Reynolds here?
38418	[ 25] Before General McLaws found me, I wrote General Smith,--Can you reinforce me?
38418	After a time we were challenged by an outlying guard,"Who comes there?"
38418	As we passed these officers, the one with the peculiar hat called out in a loud voice,--"''What troops are those?''
38418	But that is not the question, colonel; the question is,"Is it right to surrender this army?"
38418	Ca n''t you apply this idea to advantage on your side on the roads that General Grant will be obliged to travel if he goes to Burkeville?
38418	Can we do anything to aid your movements?
38418	Can you not occupy your leisure time in preparing your memoirs of the war?

38418	General Lee exclaimed,''Where is Anderson?
38418	Has there been any movement in that direction by our troops?
38418	Have you any maps that you can give or lend me?
38418	I inquired,"Did General Johnston send you to communicate that order?"

38418	If we have been defeated at Chattanooga, do we not risk our entire force by an assault here?
38418	In preparing to take the field, in view of the abandonment of Richmond, is it your desire to keep our wagons about our camps that we may move at once?
38418	Pickett said,"General, shall I advance?"
38418	Said one,''Oh, general, what will history say of the surrender of the army in the field?''
38418	Shall we continue to send them or keep them with us?...
38418	Should we hesitate, then, about putting a few who have made immense fortunes at our expense to a little inconvenience by impressing their gold?
38418	The commander asked,"What troops are these?"
38418	Then turning to me, he said,''General Mahone, I have no other troops, will you take your division to Sailor''s Creek?''
38418	Where is Ewell?
38418	Will you please keep those people back?''
38418	Will you send my letter to General Grant, and arrange with General Ord for the interview?

38418	said one of my companions,"have n''t the keows come up?"
38418	why did you do so?"
4260	''Who do you think we are?'' 4260 But you could guess, if you tried, could n''t you?"
4260	Is there anything to prevent them taking us there?
4260	Just take these shears, wo n''t you, and cut my toes off?
4260	Oh, yes,said he;"you are one of the Yank''s that''s been on, parole, are you?"
4260	So yer Yanks, air ye?
4260	Well, what are you doing here, and what is your name?
4260	Were you re- captured and brought back?
4260	What do you mean by this evasion?
4260	What?
4260	Where are you going, you d--- d Yank?
4260	Who are you?
4260	Why did n''t you answer to your name when it was called at the gate yesterday, sir?
4260	Yes?
4260	; how long''s it been since we were sitting on the sand there in Florence, boiling our pint of meal in that old can?"
4260	Ai n''t you the fellow that was put in command of these men?"
4260	All Westerners, air ye?
4260	At that moment a guard about thirty yards to our left, who evidently supposed that we were Rebels, sang out:"Whar ye gwine to thar boys?"
4260	Can there be any terms of reprobation sufficiently strong to properly denounce so malignant a monster?
4260	D''you understand me?"
4260	Disdaining to notice this return in kind, the old man passed on to the next stage:"What are you''uns takin''ouah niggahs away from us foh?"
4260	He only meant that we should not be allowed to take any of the horses''bedding or equipments; do n''t you see?"
4260	He was not suffering any, why should he relax his severity?
4260	How can there be a possibility that they were not cognizant and approving of his acts?
4260	How do you feel?"
4260	How long does he think men could live through that?
4260	I asked:"It is n''t possible that there are any Yankees down there to interfere, is it?"
4260	Jest hear''em squeal, wo n''t yer?"
4260	Myself--"Well, if you fellows intended stopping him, why did n''t you do it up about Atlanta?
4260	Old Man--"Why, do n''t you know?
4260	Old Man--(savagely),"Waal, ye do n''t think ye kin ever lick us; leastways sich fellers as ye air?"
4260	Said I to him:"Well, uncle, where are they taking us?"
4260	The Surgeon said:"O, that man''s dead; why do n''t you have him taken out?"
4260	The big darky, followed by a crowd of smaller and nimbler"shades,"would approach one of the leaders among them with:"Is you a Galvanized?"
4260	The old man passed to the third inevitable proposition:"What air you''uns puttin''ouah niggahs in the field to fight we''uns foh?"
4260	Then the whole car- load shouted back at him at once:"What are you''uns putting blood- hounds on our trails to hunt us down, for?"
4260	Then they wondered"whar a feller''d be likely to make a raise of a canteen of good whisky?"
4260	Then walking from one prisoner to another, he said:"D--- n yer skins, ye''ll dig tunnels, will ye?
4260	Was land so scarce in the Southern Confederacy that no more than sixteen acres could be spared for the use of thirty- five thousand prisoners?
4260	We could step off the cars and walk over to the seashore as easily as a man steps out of his door and walks to a neighboring town, but why should we?
4260	Whah did ye cum from?"
4260	What could we do?
4260	What did you let him come clear through the State, burning and stealing, as you say?
4260	What should we do?
4260	What the business is that of yours?"
4260	What''s the meaning of all this fortifying?"
4260	Where is he?"
4260	Where were you?"
4260	Wo n''t you please take these shears and cut my toes off?"
4260	we all shouted in surprise:"Why he ai n''t within two hundred miles of this place, is he?"
4260	what business is that of yours?
10692	Do you think your men can stand it?
10692	Infantry or cavalry?
10692	So that,retorted his interrogator,"the bonds are not yet due by their terms?"
10692	What was the amount of the Confederate force under command of Lee?
10692	Who commands the regiment?
10692	''Where''s the man who wo n''t follow Uncle Robert?''
10692	''Which is his own, father?''
10692	And that you felt to be your justification in taking the course you did?
10692	And you can not foresee that such would be your inclination in such an event?
10692	Are they as much, or more, interested in developing their material interests than they were?
10692	Are you acquainted with the proposed amendment now pending in the Senate of the United States?
10692	Are you acquainted with the state of feeling among what we call secessionists in Virginia, at present, toward the Government of the United States?
10692	Are you aware of the existence of any combination among the"whites"to keep down the wages of the"blacks?"
10692	As the conversation continued, the sound awoke General Lee, who asked,"Who is there?"
10692	Can I ever forget?
10692	Can capitalists and workingmen from the North go into any portion of Virginia with which you are familiar and go to work among the people?
10692	Did I say unequalled?
10692	Did any man ever fight against more desperate odds or resources?
10692	Did not his( Hunter''s) move prevent this?
10692	Did you take an oath of fidelity, or allegiance, to the Confederate Government?
10692	Do they avoid and ostracize them socially?
10692	Do they show a capacity to obtain knowledge of mathematics and the exact sciences?
10692	Do they, in your opinion, regard that as a just debt?
10692	Do you not frequently hear, in your intercourse with secessionists in Virginia, expressions of a hope that such a war may break out?
10692	Do you not think it would turn a good deal, in the cotton States, upon the value of the labor of the black people?
10692	Do you recollect the terms of the Confederate bonds-- when they were made payable?
10692	Do you see any change among the poorer classes in Virginia, in reference to industry?
10692	Do you think that Virginia would consent to allow the negro to vote?
10692	Do you think there is a willingness on the part of their old masters to give them fair living wages for their labor?
10692	Do you think they would prefer to work for Northern or Southern men?
10692	Does that absence of a lust of money and property arise more from the nature of the negro than from his former servile condition?
10692	During the civil war, was it not contemplated by the Government of the Confederacy to form an alliance with some foreign nation if possible?
10692	Has it been surpassed in history?
10692	Has the colored race generally as great love of money and property as the white race possesses?
10692	Have you heard that subject talked over among any of the politicians?
10692	Have you not seen a wavering line restored by the magic of his presence?
10692	Have you not seen the few forget that they were fighting against the many, because he was among the few?
10692	How can we give expression to the crowding memories called forth by the sad event we are met to deplore?
10692	How can we tell the world what we can only feel ourselves?
10692	How do the people of Virginia, secessionists more particularly, feel toward the freedmen?
10692	How do the secessionists feel in regard to the payment of the debt of the United States contracted in the prosecution of the war?
10692	How do they feel in regard to the education of the blacks?
10692	How long have you resided in Lexington?
10692	How would they escape, in their own mind?
10692	I refer to the past-- I am referring to the past and the feelings they would have?
10692	IN CASE OF WAR, WOULD VIRGINIA JOIN OUR ENEMIES?
10692	If it is a fair question-- you may answer or not, as you choose-- what, in such an event, might be your choice?
10692	In his policy in regard to what?
10692	In reference to the effect of President Johnson''s policy, if it were adopted, would there be any thing like a return of the old feeling?
10692	In such an event, do you not think that that class of people whom I call secessionists would join the common enemy?
10692	In what light would they view it?
10692	Is it not because his piety was humble and sincere?
10692	Is not this why these tributes have been paid to his memory?
10692	Is only that man successful who erects a material monument of greatness by the enforcement of his ideas?
10692	Is their prejudice increased or diminished?
10692	Is there a general willingness to have them educated?
10692	Is there another instance of such self- abnegation among men?
10692	Is there any difference in their relations to the colored people?
10692	Is there any other matter which you desire to state to the committee?
10692	Is there not a deep- seated feeling of disappointment and chagrin at the result of the war?
10692	Is there not a general dislike of Northern men among secessionists?
10692	It will take a number of years?
10692	Johnston wrote to him from the west:"How can I eat or sleep in peace without_ you_ upon the outpost?"
10692	Need I speak of the many exhibitions of that confidence?
10692	Of the man, how shall I speak?
10692	On the whole, the condition of things in Virginia is hopeful both in regard to its material interests and the future peace of the country?
10692	Q. I suppose the Confederate debt is almost entirely valueless, even in the market in Virginia?
10692	Should the assaulting column consist of white or negro troops?
10692	Six months after the ratification of a treaty of peace between the United States and the Confederate Government?
10692	So that the bonds are not due yet by their terms?
10692	State, if you please-- and if you are disinclined to answer the question you need not do so-- what your own personal views on that question are?
10692	Taking the thin hand in his own, he said:"How do you feel, bishop?"
10692	Tell me whether to place the chaplet of military superiority with him, or with Marlborough, or Wellington?
10692	That impressed me very much, because, at the beginning of the campaign, Lee was not prosperous; and why?
10692	That is the feeling down there?
10692	The poorer classes are generally hard at work, are they?
10692	There are very few colored laborers employed, I suppose?
10692	There is no desire to keep out capital?
10692	They do not generally suppose that it was treason against the United States, do they?
10692	They would object to such an amendment?
10692	Upon the amount which they produce?
10692	Victory marked every step of his triumphant march; but when, where, and whom did Marlborough fight?
10692	Was his life a failure?
10692	What Confederate is there who would refuse to raise his cap as their funeral- train went by or hesitate to drop a flower upon their graves?
10692	What is the feeling of that portion of the people of Virginia in regard to the payment of the so- called Confederate debt?
10692	What is the position of the colored men in Virginia with reference to persons they work for?
10692	What is your observation in that respect in regard to Virginia?
10692	What man could have laid down his sword at the feet of a victorious general with greater dignity than did he at Appomattox Court- House?
10692	What man is there that would not have gone to renewed death for such a leader?
10692	What must have been his emotions as he rode, through his own lines at Appomattox, to the commander of the opposing army, and tendered his sword?
10692	What successful warrior or ruler, in ancient or modern times, has descended to his grave amid such universal grief and lamentation as our Lee?
10692	What will become of the women and children of the South, if we are not here to protect them?"
10692	What would be their excuse or justification?
10692	What, in your opinion, would be the practical result?
10692	When General Burnside issued the order for this injudicious advance, two of his general officers met, and one asked:"What do you think of it?"
10692	When asked the question,"Did you discover, after the battle of Gettysburg, any symptoms of demoralization in Lee''s army?"
10692	When he found it necessary to retreat from Lynchburg, did he not take the most feasible route?''
10692	Where is your present residence?
10692	Where would he have been to- day?
10692	Which side should he espouse-- the side of the United States or that of the South?
10692	Why is it that at the South we see this universal, spontaneous demonstration?
10692	Why?
10692	Would she consent, under any circumstances, to allow the black people to vote, even if she were to gain a large number of representatives in Congress?
10692	Would they pay that debt, or their portion of it, with as much alacrity as people ordinarily pay their taxes to their Government?
10692	You do not feel down there that, while you accept the result, we are as generous as we ought to be under the circumstances?
10692	You say that you do not recollect having sworn allegiance and fidelity to the Confederate Government?
10692	You see nothing of a disposition to prevent such a thing?
10692	You think they would?
