"WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 2
A Reminiscence of Chlcamauga.
“A letter of our Louisville correspon
dent, /written on board the steamer
General Lytle, will be found of more
than ordinary interest. The name of
the steamer recalls one of the most
chivalric and pleasing incidents of the
late war. It was in one of the battles
of the West—and which of them our
memory does not supply—that General
Robert H. Lytle, a member of the Cin-
cinati press, who had risen not only
from printer to editor, but from private
to General, was killed far in advance
of his command while gallantly lead
ing an assault upon our lines. His
horse bore his corpse into our lines,
and the steed and his dead rider were
both captured. So soon as it was known
that the author of that rare poem, as
familiar and as greatly admired South
as North, “I am Dying, Egypt, Dying,”
lay dead in the camp, officers and men
crowed around to take a last look at
the face of the poet-soldier who had
achieved so great a literary triumph.
There was no rejoicing over the death
of this fallen enemy; but there was
something on each soldier’s cheek that
for the moment washed away the stains
of powder. Tenderly they took him
and when the battle was over, an
cort of honor, appointed from among
the leading Confederate officers, bore
him back to his own camp, under
flag of truce, on a rudely constructed
funeral bier, with his martial cloak
around him. In life he had touched
that chord of human sympathy which
makes all the world kin—and in death
its harmonious vibrations silenced all
resentment and thrilled the hearts
alike of friends and foes with a nobler
passion than hatred or revenge.”
The above, which we clip from the
Richmond Enquirer, is substantially
correct, although in one or two minor
details erroneous. It was in the battle
of Cliicamauga that General Lytle w;
killed. We had a personal experience
of that bloody field, and a fresh remem
brance of the death of General Lytle.
He jras killed early in the Sunday'
fightjan front of Anderson’s Mississippi
Brigade, with which a part of Mani-
gault’s Brigade had become attached
He was killed while receiving the ini-
petuous charge of the gallant Ander
son, and not while leading a charge
himself. We saw and passed over his
dead body as we hurried forward in
the fight, but had no time to stop and
do it honor. After the battle a flag
truce claimed and received the body.
Editorial Correspondence.
Dear Courier:—With the disagreea
ble haunt of an unnatural and unwel
come presence oppressing our senses,
we bade you good-night in our last.
The incumbus there referred to was
too heavy to be lightly slept off; and
after an uneasy fitting of our bodies to
every possible accommodation of our
couch, and a bootless effort to create a
somniative blank in our consciousness,
we gave up the attempt in despair, and
aroused ourselves for a wakeful look
; of
That Johnson Banquet Again.
The State press seem still excited
over what many are pleased to stigma
tize an ungentlemanly attempt by Ex-
Govemor Johnson to reflect upon the
present executive of the State; and
some insinuate, if they do not actually
express it, that the Ex-Governor is only
trying to relieve his spleen, disordered
by the las^ judicial appointments,
This may be true. We are not his
apologist, and do not desire to bo so
considered. We merely' desire to put
the case as it appears to an outsider—
to one who “belongs neither to the
house of York or of Lancaster.”
If Governor Johnson, on the occasion
and under the circumstances referred to.
did use the words attributed to him, and
for the purpose of reflecting upon Gov
ernor Smith, as assumed, then we say
he was guilty of a great breach of pro
priety, and exhibited a vindictiveness
altogether below his reputation as
Christian gentleman. We say if, because,
mind you, it is only assumed that he
did. He is reported to have said (after
referring to his occupancy- of the exec
utive office) “During that time
made no false promise,” or words
to that effect. We do not remember
the exact phraseology, but believe this
was all to which exception was taken.
Now, are notGovemorSmith’s friends
doing him a great injustice to take it for
granted that whatever taunt or innuen
do contained in this language was cer
tainly meant for him ? What right had
they to assume that he was attacked ?
Is he the only Governor Georgia has
had since Johnson has been in public
life? To say nothing of those preced
ing him, is it possible they can have
forgotten the peerless Jenkins, the fugi
tive Bullockj the ambitious Conley and
the immaculate Joseph ? Suppose now
that he did intend to reflect upon some
Governor of Georgia, and that he was
striking at some successor in office, is it
altogether out of the question that he
could have meant one or more of these
distinguished gentlemen? Are they-all
entirely above suspicion on a question
of honor or veracity ? And is Governor
Smith so much more vulnerable in tbis
respect that of course it must be for
him? Has any recent official act of
his—any appointment, or promise of
appointment-been of such questiona
ble shape that his friends must stand
around as a special guard of honor to
shield him from unjust imputation ?
What has he done that his friends
should be so ready to saddle it upon
him ? If he has done nothing wrong—
if he has made no promises which he
has not fulfilled, then he has abundant
reason, in- our judgment, to demand
that he be saved from his friends.

The census of 1870 shows that the
average annual earnings of the people
of the United States did not average
8800. Of the employed classes the av
erage annual wages is 81500, and in the
learned professions the annual average
is 82500. This census is said to demon
strate that the people of the United
States get more money per capita than
the people of any other country.

out upon the ghostly desolation through
which we were passing. We say- ghost
ly, for in the misty shadows of that
moonlit night, the jagged old pines
that sway-ed their tall tops in the wind
seemed grinning spectres; and what
with the jabbering of the baboon-
chinned school marms within, and the
fancied gibes of the pine spectres with
out, we spent the night—long to be re
membered as a night of horrors.
We were glad at last, when just be
fore day, the moon passed under s
cloud, and the pines were hid in their
native darkness; and by a merciful
coincidence the flickering lights of the
car lamps at the same time expired,
and from our eyes at least was shut
out the vision so oppressively revolt
ing.
When the light of day came we were
approaching Charleston; and just as
the sun came out, bright and glad, we
entered the city. Here the same marks
of desolation and of ruin appeared.
Tumble down houses, broken walls,
weed-choked gardens and yards, were
the first sights to greet us. Nothing
like the growth, the beauty and the
strength of the Southern cities, appear
ed, but a cordon of dreary poverty
seemed to encircle the heart of the
once fair city-, and threaten to choke
out all of life that is left in it. Pass
ing through the desolate waste of its
environs, we were, howler, pleasant
ly surprised by* the evidence of busy
thrift that presented itself in the busi
ness quarters of the city-.
A delightful breakfast at the Charles
ton Hotel put us in a more appreciative
mood, and a stroll through the busy
streets, and a glance in the well stocked
wholesale houses that bordered them,
greatly relieved us of the idea of dead
ness which had so unpleasantly pos
sessed our minds.
There is much sterling worth left in
the grand old city, and a spirit of enter
prise is there which will eventually
lift her out of her desolation. Already-,
gratify-ing signs of improvementare ap
pearing; and what is better, those im
provements are of a solid and perma
nent character. Charleston may not
rise as rapidly from the ashes of her
ruins as others, but her rise will be
none the less sure and her footing se
cure. 'All her associations are grand
and glorious. She has a place in the
true Southern heart that is saffred only
to the sweetest emotions of our human
ity. May her future be as glorious as
her past! Then the scars of her pres
ent desolation will be as proud as they
are now sad 1
We spent a pleasant hour with an
old army friend, Colonel C. Irvine Wal
ker, then of the 10th South Carolina
Volunteers, now of the well known and
flourishing firm of Walker, Evans &
Cogswell.
It was a real gladness to meet him,
and pleasant to recall the stirring remin
iscences of the “days which tried men’s
souls.” There is a sympathy that
unites the better natures of the broth
ers in the “Lost Cause” that time can
never corrode. It is a beautiful sym
pathy, and the heart is purer and better
for indulging it
We found Col. Walker at the head of
a splendid business, and his patriotic
heart was all aglow with bright hopes
for the future of his city.
The day was busily spent in pros
pecting the city-, and when evening
came we were surprised with the short
ness of the time.
At six o’clock we went aboard the
splendid steamer Georgia, for New
York. Our trip out on the “dark blue
sea” will make matter for our next.

If we can believe the foreign reports
the Sultan of Turkey has issued an or
der granting to the Khedive of Egypt
an independent government, with au
thority to augment his armies, make
treaties, etc. For a long time, under
the Khedive and his immediate pre
decessors, Egypt hasbeen making rapid
progress, and although, as was its wont
in olden times, the world will no longer
seek the priest of ancient Memphis and
Thebes for lessons in wisdom, there
seems no reason why the' 1

and Shishak, should not once more
take a conspicuous place among the na

The announcement of the new pow

situated a short distance from the river,
on a sand and gravel ridge or hill, be

beautifully laid off—broad and well

loons, and one drug store; all doing a
large business. There is one hotel, the
Alabama House, which is kept in the
best style by that very efficient gentle
man, Mr. Wm. Vinson, who knows
just how to please his patrons. Mr.
Yinson is also the -proprietor of Vin
