To (ho Committees) Officers and
Members) of the Floyd County Vol
unteer Association.
The necessity anil propriety of a
prompt organization of tho Regiment
or Battalion lias boon settled and do
terminod. A mooting for tho permiv
nent organization will bo hold at 10
o’clock on Saturday, tho 24th of May,
at Romo. In tho meantime all able to
do service in defenco of their homes
and families, under 18 years and ovor
35, arc urged to enroll themselves with
out delay.
It is not oxpecled that tegular scr-
vioo will bo required, or any drawn
away from tlioir farms or business, un'
less in enso of actual necessity, and tlion
only temporarily, it boing the object
to koop overy one in his field, and at
his business while homo is not actually
invaded, or in imminent danger. TliiB
is a volunteer sorvico, but it is expected
that all who enroll, will do tlioir duty
and obey orders promptly. It is not
expected that timo Will bo lost, in the
details of drill, but that tho guerilla
drill and squirrel mnnuel, will bo most,
ly relied mi. Guffs and ammunition
are being proparod for thoio who are
without. The organization is of such
a character, ns to afford no reasonable
excuse, to any Who uro nblo nnd witling
to light for their homes and farni
lies.
Bach Militia District lias, or- will
elect their own company ofiioers, before
tho day appointed for Battalion organ
ization, who will report tlioir muster,
rolls, in ample time to consolidate the
same before the day of organization ;
all whoso names are onrollod will be
entitled to voto for tho commander or
commanders of the Battalion or Rcgi*
mont, and are earnestly urged to bo
present at tho election.
A squad of mounted Rangers, con
sisting of 30 or 40 volunteers, who can
and will fiirnish their own ‘horses, will
be gladly received, whose duty will bo
to act as scouts, alternately, in squads
of two or three, as occasion may require
They will elect their own officers, but
will remain ns mounted men, attached
to the Battalion, and expected to act
iis a' body in case of necessity.
Como fellow citizens and soldiers,
promptly to the roscuo 1 Tho want- of
timely organization and preparations,
■ and tho spirit of lethargy and indiffer
ence, lias been the curse and bane of
tho South. Many of the fairest por
tions of the Confederacy have been
overrun and devastated, the best citi.
zons murdered and imprisoned, women
and children driven Out houseless and
homeless, robbed of provisions and
property, and as a people, our honor
tarnished and prostrated beneath the
feet of a wicked and relentless too,
whose eyes stretoh out in fatness, nnd
whoso souls gloat over the miseries and
suffering of our people, without dis
tinction of ngo or sex.
Shall it bo so with us? Godin His
mercy forbid, so }ong ns there is one of
us alive, able to raise-a weapon or pull
n trigger. D. R. MITCHELL,

llurrnh lor Morgan!
Col. Morgan has not yet been put
down. The reverses at Lebanon was
but little in his way it seems. As soon
as ho collected a little foroe at Sparta,
where his men rendezvoused after be
ing scattered, he put out through Ken
tucky till he struck the railroad above
Bowling Green. There ho seized upon
two trams, which ho completely des
troyed, and burned up tl.o depot. He
destroyed two of tho bridges which
wore burned down last winter on evac-
uting Bowling Green. He took a Fed
eral paymaster prisoner who was on
ono of tho captured trains, and §30,000
in Federal funds. He also captured
near one hundred Federal soldiers,
who had been sick at Louisville, and
were returning to Nashvillo to bo sent
to their commands—thoir health hav
ing recovered. These he paroled, paid
them off all that was due them in tho
Federal funds' ho had, and Bent them
back to Louisville.—Atlanta C'onfed.
Col. M-. passed over the State Road
to Atlanta on Tuesday last, having
possession a very elegant sword that
was presented to him by a Col. Coffeo
who was captured on tho train, for his
kindness and courtesy.
The Confederacy of yesterday states
that Morgan attributes his disaster
Lebanon to having men with him—i
pecially captains and other officers,
who are not of his own choosing—and
that he has gone to Gen. Beauregard to
get permission to choose his own men
to operate with him in all future un
dertakings.
And is authentically informed that
the ' packages of money captured by
Col, M. were not all opmed by 1pm, tiil
he reached Chattanooga, when he found

Dear Courier: ASabbath-likeslill-
ncss lias pervaded the carnpB through
out tho day.. tin compliance with tho
Proclamation of President Davis, a sea
son ef Fasting ami Prayer, has been ob
served by the forces hero. The usual
routine of drills and labor was suspend,
od, services wero held in some of tho
regiments, several messes and compa
nies have observed tho fast, und prayer
meetings after “retreat” have conclud
ed the oxorcisos of the day. -Thus it is
meet that now, in tho dark and peril
ous hour of our country’s crisis, we
should humble ourselves before Him
"who holdoth tho earth in his hands
that we should acknowledge tlffi just
ness of His chastisements in our late
reverses, nnd be led to exclaim, in the
language of the Psalmist, "God is our
ofugc and strength, a very present
lp in trouble.”
An interesting change is pcrcoplible
tho deportment of tho -troops sta*
lioned hero, a change which promises
well for the futuro. The Chaplain of
tho 4tli Tonnessoo Rogimont conducts
Divine service every Sabbath night, in
tho camp of our company ; a praye
meeting is likewise hold overy Wnd-
esdny ; similar mootings, aro nlso held
the 3d Uool'gjn Battalion overy alter
nate night. Those mootings uro woll
attended by both officers nnd privates,
and are doing much towards counter
acting the evil tendencies which every
where surround tho soldier. •
This change may liavq bee:« partially
brought about by the number of deaths
which have rccontly occurred in our
midstt Tho “Lula Guards,” of the Bat
talion, hnvo lost threo numbers within
the past week; ono ef the "Bakor
Volunteors” was instantly killed yes
terday morning, by tho accidental dis
charge of his rille; altogether, sixteen
deaths havo occurred in the Battalion,
since they hnvo been stationed at this
point. Tho health of our own compa
ny is remarkably good ; deatli lias not
visited our ranks sinco wo loft Green
ville, and only a few eases are now on
the sick list, out of the 115 men com.
pos'iig the company.
Our slumbers wero disturbed lust
night, by tho ominous beat of tho long
roll, occasioned by tho discharge of sev-
al volloys of fire arms, heard in tho
direction ol our pickets; we were at
our posts on tiro batteries and trenches
for bovovaI hours, anticipating that the
enemy wero about to nmko a night
attack. A detachment of Fodcrals,
supposed to number four or five him
dred, taking advantage of tho moon
light) had cautiously appronched the
line of our pickets, fired two or three
volleys in thoir midst, and then suil
denly disappeared. Our pickets re
turned the firo ; “nobody hurt on our
side.” It is presumed that they were
thus returning a visit which some of
our forces paid them a few days ago
Tho 3d Goorgia Battalion nnd tho 11th
Tennesseo Regiment, With a detach
mont of cavalry, marched over to tho
enemy’s lines ono dark night, drove in
their pickets, destroyed a telegraph
which thoy had constructed to a point
four miles this sido of tho Ford, cap
tured a prisoner, and secured sove
ral haversacks, knapsacks, overcoats,
Ac.
Wo have been anticipating an attack
for some days past, but the Feds have
probably concluded to wail awhile, be
ing doubtless suspicious of sundry
movomonls of certain forces of ours,
who aro stationed at a convenient dis
tance frosn this point.
All tho twelvo months mon station
ed hero have re-enlisted, retaining
their company nnd regimental organi
zations.
A party of Indians, from Cherokee
county, North Carolina, arrived tins
morning; a few more of tho same sor
will bo hero in a day or two, they will
doubtless pr.ove themselves a valuable
addition to our forces. Early Billups
arrived in camp this evening ; ho was
accompanied by Henry Stovall, son
Col. Stovall, and Cadet C. A. King,
tho Battalion. Wo havo been enjoying
beautiful weather for some time past.

Tuesday forenoon, that Gen. Johnston'
vanguard was only one mile this sido

Clellan's advanced forces werej at the
Court-House, but tho impression seem
ed to prevail that he was retiring. New
Kent Court-House is 28- miles from
Richmond, and wero McClellan defeat
ed at that point tho greater portion of
his forces would bo compelled to retreat
in the direction of Yorktown, before
reaching which, they would be cap
tured or cut to pieces. It was thought
not improbable that Gon. Johnston
would tender the young Napoleon bat

Anothor noble spirit lias been made
a victim of this murderous war I He fell
on tiio 8th of May, 1862, in the battle
of McDowell, nt tbe-head of his regi
ment-,* nnd only a short timo before
victory had crowned our •arms. Col
S. B. Gibbons, son of Col. G., late of
Vit., now of the vicinity of Rome, Ga.,
wns born May. 25th, 1833, at Shenan
doah Furnace, l’ago county, Virginia.
Ho wns educated in Lexington, nt tho
Va. Military Institute, and “graduated
with distinguished honors.”, "Ho was
among tho first who volunteerod to
defend tho South boforo Virginia had
declared her independence of The old
Union.” His acknowledged military
ability anil personal accomplishments,
designated him as a loador, and lie was
unanimously elected Col. of the 10th
Va. Regiment, nnd this election was
confirmed by the Confederate Govern
ment.
Although the youngest Cql. in tho
Confederacy at tho timo of his appoint
ment, hia promotion excited no foolisli
prido, or vain ambition. Tho Junior
of hundreds of his men, he was,
nevertheless, tho object of their confi
dence nnd devotion; nnd no Col. in
our army was more beloved and ro-
spected. Ho was ondowed with an
excellent understanding, a decided
character, and prompt business tal
ents ; and these wero combined with
gentle, graceful, winning manners and
groat kindness of heart-. He had a
no bravo spirit, and boro himself
most gallantly on tho memorable field
Manassas. His regiment boing a
part of General Kirby Smith’s Brigade,
liicb rendered such timely aid in turn
ing tho tido of bsttle. But'above all’
Col. Gibbons was n soldier of tho cross,
consist lint Christian, whose sterling
piety shone brightly amidst the
obscurations of camp life.
Tho following extract from a lottor
to a friend, evino.es the true spirit of
Christian: "Wo must be humbled,
said he, before wo can boexilted! I
egard all wars as iifflict.ons sont.to
scourge tl:e people for their sins. Our
causo, 1 believe to be hcly, just nnd
igliteous. But we havo much to ro-
pent of! At the commencement of
tho war, the voice of prayer, supplica
tion, nnd humiliation, was heard in
tho land. Wo sooined to realize our
dependence on God, nnd our arms
wero victorious. After the bnttlo of
Manassas, how proud and boastful wo
became.” Speaking Of tho Bins of tho
army, he says: "IIow can wo expect
God to bless us, when so many are
continually (Icing what He lias for
bidden.” “Oh 1 for nn army like
Cromwell's, an army of Christians
then, indeed, wo might expect David
liko feats.” Such was Col. S. B
Gibbons,-tho gallant soldier, the true
patriot, tho consistent Christian, tho
dovotod son ! A stricken mother tes
tifios, “Ho never gave mo any trouble,’
and she might havo added the word
of Louis the XIV, to his deceased
Queen, “This is the first sorrow- you
have ever caused me!” An intimate
fri?nd' thus speaks of Col. Gibbons.
I havo known him from tho early
boyhood of six years, and have never
known n purer, kinder, gentler or.moro
affectionate spirit.”
Tho writer of this notice had the
pleasure of meeting him in his own
oncampmcnt, at regimental review and
regimental evening prayers, and en
joyed the hospitalities of his tent; and
no man in Virginia impressed him
more favorably than. Col, Gibbons.
But lie has gone from us! His sun
has been suddenly eclipsed whilst
was morning 1 nnd it is impossible lo
repress the flowing tear, the deep re
gret that- we shall meet him no moro
among the living. But wo wiil honor
his memory, boenuso he loved his
country, and gavo his life for it. Wo
will think of him as dwelling with that
.Saviour whom ho served so faithfully,
ns having joined the loved ones in
Heaven, “nnd with them the being
beauteous, who, unto his youth, was
givon.” Aftor six’long yours of sepa
ration, they havo met on tho shining
shore ; they have met, to part no more!
And we will say, the Lord gave and
the Lord hath taken away, blessed bo
the name of the Lord 1 J.
*And what.is singularly remarkable,
ho wasotlie only man of his Regiment
who wns killed.
When about four hundred yarns
from our obstructions, our batteries
opened firo upon the Monitor and Ga-
i—- They did not reply until tho
Iona,
Gnlena lin’d placed lmi-self directly
athwart the channel. After which she
and the Monitor opened a brisk fire,
tho other vessels keeping under way,
and at about from a quarter lo a mile
lower down, and so close under the
opposite slioro, that only four of our
guns could bear upon them. Our fire
wns mostly directed upon the Galena,
only occasionally paying a compliment
to tho olhers.
Several of our shots at long range,
passed through mid through them and
they soon dropped out of range. The
small iron-clad nnd tho side-wheel gun
boats wore badly crippled. Wo turned
our attention to the Galena—nearly
every one of our shots telling upon-her
iron surface. At 11 o’clock, A. M., ono
of the Patrick Henry’s eight-inch solid
shot passed into her bow port; imme
diately tlie smoke rushed out of her
ports, show!tig, evidently, that she wns
on fire. Wo gavo her three honrt-y
cheers as sho slipped her cables and
moved down tho river. Our piokots

ether gunboats, that sho was “in nsink

There is no doubt wo struck them a

their duty with coolness and' determi

Jell Thompson’s Naval Victory.
The stoamcr Golden Age arrived at
our whari yesterday afternoon from
Fort Pillow, und from an officer in tho
ngngeinent, we gather some interest
ing particulars of the grand naval bat
tle which took place there on Saturday.
Gen. Jeff. Thompson, who is in com
mand of the gunboat fleet at Fort Pil
low, on hearing that it was the Inten-.
tiori of the enemy to come down to at-
tnok that place on Saturday, concluded
Hint ho would go up and anticipate
tlioir movements. Accordingly about
6 o’clock on Saturday morning, the
fleet was put in readiness, and about
7 o'clock the fight commenced. Tho
steamer Bragg, Copt Wm. Leonard; led.
in the attack. She steamed up amid a
shower of ballB to tho St. Leuis gun
boat, which was coming down, nnd
struck her on the starboard side, the
Sumter, Oupt. Wallace Lamb, followed
next, nnd butted the St. Louis near the
stern; the Gen. Price, Uapt. T. I r on-
tliorne, followed next, ana butted the
St. Louis in the stern, knocking mvay t
lier rudder and stern post. The Van’
Dorn, Capt. Fulkerson, oomo up last. -
The Bragg had her chain shot away
and dropped back; the Sumpter ivns sur
rounded by three gunboats, which, for
the space of fifteen minutes, poured a
mold deiully fire .upon her. Some of
the enemy’s boats were almost along
side tho Sumter in the engagement, ye?
sho wns not seriously disabled, though
her cabin wns almost riddled.- Tno
Van Dorn had a special engagement
with tho mortar boat, and it is believed
soriousiy damaged her. Some of tho
enemy’s bails penetrated ns much ns
six’feet into our boats, yet so far ns
tlioir serviceable capacity is concerned,
they were uninjured.— Mem. Avalanche.
Another account of the battle says:
During the engagement tho Van
Dorn swung in shore in the bend, when
a shore battery, located there, opened
firo upon her, in addition to ivlint sho
was receiving from two of the boats that
were within pistol shot range. Under
those circumstances Capt. E. J. Mont
gomery, tho commander, order tho sig
nal to withdraw to bo hoisted. Tho
boats obeyed the signal, to their sur
prise the Van Dorn, which had appear
ed hopelessly lust-, butted her way
out from the attack of boats and bat
teries, and joined them, aud the fleet
then withdrew, without pursuit from
the enemy'.
During the action our boats confined
themselves almost wholly to dashing
their iron prows into the enemy’s boats
tho sliarp-sliooters, in the meantime,
picking off tho men from tho guns and
deckB. . Tho marks on the Price show
ed that she had made a breach in which
the prow had entered five feet; this
jvas near the bow of the boat sho at
tacked. It was next to impossible in
the thick smoke of the firing to read
the names of the opposing boats, but
this boat, whichever sho might i)e, ran
on a bar. and appeared to be sinking
Another boat cleared out sopn after the
commencement of the action, nnd a
third showed signs of being seriously
injured.
On reaching tho landing place below
the fort, to the surprise of all, not only
wore tho other boats free from any ma
terial injury, but tho Van Dorn which
had been exposed to a raking fire of
tho most furious character, had her hull
tight, from stem to stern. She had re
ceived ilie severest shot that struck
any of our boats; it was a 7 inch coni
cal shell that entered throe feet above
the water line near tho stern, and ex
ploded inside. Even this shot entailed
no serious results. Each of tho four
boats had received siiot that had passed
into tho cotton lining, but in no caso
had it passed through. Tho groat fact
