Our Hero—Francis S. Bartow.
“I go to illustrate, Georgia.”
M ere the ivords of her noble son ;
He has gained a crown of glory,
And a hero's fame has Avon.
Proud will Georgia ever be
Os her gallant son, so brave,
Mho gave his life for liberty—
His land and home to save.
“My gallant boys, they ’vc killed me,
But'don't give up the field,”
Were the inspiring words he spoke,
Ere his lips by death were sealed.
Long on History’s glowing page,
AVill the name of Bartow be ;
It will live for many an age,
The hero of victory. Minnie.
From the Richmond (Va.,) Dispatch, July 29
The Eigth Georgia Regiment in the Battle*
at Stone Bridge.
The following graphic description of
scenes on tlie battle field and the gal
lant conduct of the Eighth Georgia Re
giment was written for the “Dispatch,”
by a gentleman who participated in the
tierce conflict of the 21st July:
EIGHTH GEORGIA REGIMENT.
On Thursday, the 18th inst., about 2
P. M., this Regiment left W inchester
for Manassas, under command of Lieu
tenant Colonel Montgomery Gardner.
Col. Bartow had been for some weeks
acting Brigade!’ General of a Brigade,
consisiing of the 7th, Sth 9th and J Ith
Georgia Regiments, and a battalion of
Kentuckians.
1 lie'Sth marched 27 miles over the
mountains, fording the Shenandoah, to
Piedmont on the Alanassas Gap Rail
road, arriving'th ro about 12 M., Fri
day. '.i he march was fatiguing in the
extreme. Alter a delay of a few hours
they left for Manassas on car, and a
slow, tedious ride brought them to this
point late Saturday morning-. They
three and a half miles to camp in the
woods, without tents, and without food.
Early next morning they were ordered
to the fight, where they arrived after a
circuitous, wearisome, and at times
double-quick tramp of between ten and
twelve miles.
Breathless, tired, faint, au-.l footsore,
the gallant fellows were eager ior the
fray-
They were first ordered to support
Pendle on’s 'Virginia Battery, which
they did amid a furious storm of grape
from the enemy’s Inactive as they
stood cool and unfhirried.
They were finally oidered to charge
Sherman’s Buttery. To do this it was
necessary to cross an intervening hol
low covered by the enemy’s fire and
establish themselves in a thicket flank
ing the enemy’s battery. They charg
ed in a manner that elicited the praise
of Gen. Johnston.
Gaining the thicket they opened up
on the enemy, 'i he history oi war .arc
probably affords no instance of more
desperale figlning than took place now.
From three sides a fierce, concentrated
murderous, uncesing volley poured in
upon this devoted and heroic “six hun
dred Georgians.
The enemy appeared upon the hill by
the thousands. Between six and ton
regiments were visible. It was a hell
ot a bullet-rain in that fata! grove. —•
1 he ianks were cutdown as grain by a
scythe. W hole platoons melted away
as it by magic. Cool, unflinching, and
stubborn, c icli man fought with gallan
try, ami stern determination to win or
die. Not one faltered. Col Bartow’s
horse w-is shot under him. Adjutant
Branch 1011, mort illy Wounded. Lieut.
Colonel Gar nor dropped with a shat
tered leg. I lie ofii ers moved from
rank to rank, from man to man, cheer
ing and encourageingthe bravo fellows.
Some of them took the musk ts of the
dead, and began cooly tiring at the en
emy.
It was an appaling hour, 'i he shot
whittl'd and tore through trees and
bones. Ihe g’round became literally
paved wiih the fallen. Yet tlm rem
u tnt stood composad ami umpmiriting
carefully 1 lading, steadily aiming, un

ta s< e the I'ffect of th( ir sho's. Mere
boys fmg’it like voter ints —unexcited,

bra•>e spirits.

w-s gi''en to cease li. in r and retire.— ,

was r< peated. bull n > obe l.< u re. ihe
battle spirit was up. Agtm it was

But a horrible mistake occurred at
this point. Their own friends taking
them for the enemy, poured a fatal fire
upon the multilatcd ranks.
At length they withdrew from the
fight. 'Their filial rally was with some
sixty men of the six hundred they took
in. Bu’aklava tells no more heroic tale
than this: “Into the valley of death
marched the six hundred.”
As they retired they passed General
Beauregard. He drew aside, fronted,
raised his hat, and said: “I salute the
Sth Georgia with my hat off.”
Os all the companies of the regiment,
tlie Oglethope Light infantry suffered
most. 'They were on the extreme right
nearest the enemy, and thus were more
exposed. Composed of the first young
gentlemen of Savannah, this terrible loss
will throw a gloom over their whole
city.
An organization of five or six y r ears
.standing, they wore the favorite corps
of Savannah. Col. Bartow had long
been captain, and was idolized by them
while he had a band of sons in them—
It is suposed that his deep grief at the
mutilation of his boys caused him to ex
pose his life- more recklessly than was
necessary. He wished to die with thorn
it he could not take them back home.
they fought with heroic desperation.
All young, all unrnairicd, all gentle
men, there was not one of the killed
v. ho tv as not an ornament to his com
munity and freighted with brilliant
promise.
In sending them to Virginia, Savan
nah sent her best to represent her, and
their loss proves how well that city
was represented upon a field whore ah
were brave.
This company was the first one to of

der the Confederate act authorizing
him to receive independent companies,
and the honor of being the first receiv

the orders of their Governor, and
brought away their arms in defiance of
bis authority, so eager were they to go
where our country needed her best sol
diers.
'they were one of the two compan
ies that took Fort Pulaski. When
there was a riot expected in Savannah,
early in the year they were called out
to quell it, with another corps.
'1 heir whole history is one of heroism.
First to seek peril, they have proved in
their sad fate how nobly they can on
dure it.
They will inevitably make their mark

and not one will turn back who can go
forward, until it is ended, or they arc
completely annihilated.
After the gallant Sth had retired with
but a fragment, Col. Bartow, by Gcn<
Beaurcgaid’s order, brought up the 7ih
Georgia Begimcnt, exclaiming, in reply
to Col. Gartrell, of the 7th, who asked
him where they should go—“ Give me.
your flag, and ( will tell yon.”
Leading them to their stand amid a
terrific lire, he posted the regiment front
ing the enemy, and exclaimed in tlmsc
eloquent tones so full of high feeling
that his friends ever expected from him:
“Gen. Beauregard says you must hold
this position, and, Georgians, 1 appeal
to yon to hold it.”
Regardless of life, gal antry riding
amid the hottest fire, cheering the men,
inspiring them with his fervent courage,
he was shot in the heart, and fell from
his horse. 'Lhey picked hijn up. With
both hands clasped over his breast, ho

fort, liis eye glittered in iis last gleam
with a blazing light, he said, with a
last heroic Hash of his lofty spirit, “They
have killed me, but boys, never give up
the field,” —emphasizing the “never” in
b s j ( culiar, and Stirling manner, that
all who know him, will so feelingly re
call.
Thus perished as noble a soul as ever
breathed. He will long live in rernern
brance. He met the fate he most wished

a pure patriot, an aide statesman, a
brilliant lawyer, a chivalric soldier, a
