Messrs. Editors:— A late number of the
Millcdgcvillo Federal Union stales that our pre
sent Representation in Congress “ has ably sus
tained the rights of the South I What does
the editor of that paper mean by this assertion I
Does he mean to tell the voters of Georgia that
all our Representatives have done this! If J)®
does mean to tell them so, I would ask him to
stale, in what manner they have done ill All
have not acted alike. Their conduct has been
I widely and essentially different. If one purlieu
!ar individual of our Representation (he will un
derstand to whom I allude) has “ably represented
the rights of the South,” I cannot understand
how tlie other kioht have done the same thing—
and, if the eight have done their duty, why it is
reasonable to suppose that the ninth has not; for
they have not acted together on that question,
which involves the “ rights of the South” more
than any other. On one particular question, to
which I have alluded above, you will please to
tell us, Mr. “ FcderaFUnion ,” how AIjL have
“sustained the rights of the South 1”

To the PuMjCs
JjELIE VING it to boa duty I owe to myself,
&jE) in relation to a misunderstanding which
took place between Uapt. Charles J. Malone,
of the Washington Cavalry, and myself, relative
to accusations said to have been made by me,
derogatory to the character of that gentleman,
his officers and command, as soldiers, during the
late Florida Campaign, and the manner in which
the same was settled by us, has induced mo to
make this publication, in order that the public
may judge of my conduct. As k now stands,
the public have before them hut one side of this
difficulty, or the causes which led to it ; therefore
I shall proceed to give the following statements,
which are facts. When the Cavalry from Jef
ferson county, was ordered to Florida, I went in
that Company as second Lieutenant, and it was
commanded by Capt. John M, Do (/glass, under
whoso-command it continued until it was mus
tered into the United Slates service, at or near
Picolata. In n few days after being mustered in
to service, we hold an Election for Major, to com
mand the battalion or squadron of Horse, which
was then formed, composed of three companies,
to wit: one from Hancock, one from Washing- i
ton, under the command of ( ’apt. Malone, and i
tlio company from Jefferson. Capt. John M.
Douglass, was elected Major, without oppposilion; \
and the night afterward I was elected Captain of
the Jefferson Cavalry, to fill the vacancy occa- ]
stoned by the promotion of Capt. D. in which
capacity I acted through the campaign* Not <
long after the election,the squadron was ordered I
to Black Creek, where it remained several days, <
and from there it moved, by order of Gen. Scott,
with another Cavalry company, which joined us I
at Black Creek, under the command of Captain 1
Nelson, from Chorokee comity. This company <
did not belong to thesquadron, not having enter- ;
cd the service when vve did, or having taken any j
part in the election for Major; consequently it I
acted as an independent company. The squad- I
ron together with Capt. Nelson’s company, was <
ordered to Tarver’s plantation, at the Lalchavvay t
Prairie, some seventeen or eighteen miles distant
from Fort Drane, there to wait until the prepara- i
tions of the Army wore completed, for moving on 1
towards Tampa Bay. During our stay at 'Fur- i
ver’s plantation, Major Cooper’s Battalion of 1
Georgia foot, arrived at Fort Drane, from Picolata,
where we had left it when wo were, ordered to
Black Creek. Every thing being now in readi
ness for the army to move, the squadron was or
dered from Tarver’s to Fort Drane.
We with the army now took up tiro line of
march for Tampa Bay. We crossed, the Wilh
laeooehee River, at the place where Gen. Gaines
had endeavored to cross, when ho was surround
ed by the Indians. Some ten or twelve miles,
perhaps more, on the other side of the Within
coochce, Major Cooper Was ordered to luilt his
Battalion, and build a Fort, which he according
ly did. Here his Battalion was left with some
.seventeen or eighteen days short rations of pro
visions, to wait the return of tho army from
Tampa Bay, where it became absolutely necessa
ry for the army to march immediately, and with
out delay, in order to procure a supply of provi
sions, for which place wo continued the line of
march. After several fatiguing days march, wc
arrived at Tampa Bay, where vve procured pro
visions for the anny, and forage .for our horses.
Here wo remained several days, anil discharged
such of tho squadron, from tho different compa
nies, as were unable to return, on account of
sickness or ill health: from the Jefferson Cavalry
I discharged six men, who were not able to un
dergo the fatigue of returning by land with the
army. Major.Dougla-s also received a discharge,
and left us to return home, on of sick
ness. Tho command of the squadron now de
volved upon Capt. Malone, he being Hie oldest
Captain in command, a* to commission. Capt.
Malone continued to command the squadron, on
our return, and was obeyed accordingly—his se
cond Lieutenant, Mr. Thomas Mcßride, acting
as his Adjutant, and issuing his orders to tho dif
ferent companies; Major Douglass’ Adjutant ha
ving also left us, at Tampa Bay, and returned
homo. Wo now took up the line of march, for
Fort Cooper, returning by the same route* that
we went down. The Squadron was attached to
, lire right wing of the army, under the command
of Gen. Clinch. The night previous to our ar
rival at Fort Cooper, wo encamped at an old In
dian Town, between three and four miles distant
from the Fort. Here it was determined by Gen.
Clinch that the army should halt, and send up to
Fort Cooper a detachment of Cavalry, composed
of two companies, to vvii, the Washington and
Jefferson Cavalry, to act as an escort or guard to
• >mc three or four empty baggage wagons,
. were to bring off Major Cooper’s baggage. We
also had a Regular Soldier, taking up a team of
horses to bring off a six pounder, which had been
left at tho Fort. I gave the order to my men to
prepare, and at the same time, I told to all of
those that felt unwell—there being several of my
• men sick, some very sick—that they might re
main at tho camp, as it woqjd give them an op
portunity of o day’s rest, which they very much
I stood in need of. I also permitted those of my
company, who- e hdrscs were very much jaded, to
, remain ; not apprehending much d inger, on ac
■ count of the short distance we had to go to the
i Fort. When my men paraded, we had, I think,
twenty-one officers and men, myself included.
This small company left the camp, under the
command of the second Lieutenant of rny com
pany, (David Caver, who had been elected to
(ill she vacancy occasioned by my being promd
. ted to the command of Captain,) and 1 remained
at the camp for some time after the two compa
nies bail left, and did not see (hern start, or in
what order they left the ramp. However, after they
had been gone sometime, and perhaps had got to
the distance of near a mile from the main army,
I started out to overtake them, hut did not join
them until I came up to a pmid, where the men
had been watering their horses. This, I should
say, was a mile and a half, or perhaps more. It
was here I found in what order the two compa
. riies wore marching; the baggage wagons had
the main road, in the centre, and to the right, in
a trail one hundred yards from the main road,
marched Capt. Malone’s company, in single file,
in a line parallel with the baggage wagons ; ami
about one hundred yards to the left marched my
I- company, in single file, in a line also parallel to
• the baggage train; which threw Captain Ma
. lone’s company and mine two hundred yards a
-5 part. A Hanker was detailed from the right as
well as the left of Capt. Malone’s company, at
. what distance lam unable to say. These flank-
I cr’s were for the purpose of preventing his line
• being surprised ; Lieut. Caven had also taken the
, precaution to station out flankers to my company.
Somewhere near the rear of Malone’s company,
us I left the pond where I watered my horse, (the
pond lying on Malone’s right,) I fell in company
. With Lieut. Mcßride of that company. If it
> was not at the rear of Malone’s company, where
I met Mcßride, it must have linen near it, in the
I rear of my own, (ho precise place I do not now
j recollect; suffice it to say, that wc got together,
and rode up to (ho head of my company, where
I found Lieut. Caven, (lie being the highest com
missioned olllcer with us that day—the first Lieu
tenant, A. W. Turner, had remained at camp to
wait on his brother, Mr. James K. Turner* who
was very sick.) When I readied the head of
my cohipany, I look the command, and Lieut.
Caven acted as first Lieutenant. Mcßride and I
were conveising together about the probability of
being attacked, on tho route, as fresh signs of the
Indians hud been discovered, before I overtook
the companies. I asked Mcßride, if 1 recollect
right, what he would do, in case wo should he at
tacked ; where would he fight, would he remain
with me, or would ho go over to his own compa
ny, which was two hundred yards from us, to the
right ? He answered that it would depend upon
where the attack was made; that if my line was
attacked he would certainly fire one round at
them, before he left it. Wc were at this very
time passing a hammock, on our right, which
could not he seen from my line, on account of
some bushes that grew between us and the ham
mock ; and at that very time 1 beard the report of
a rifle, which from the crack I knew to bo an In
dian rifle, and differed very materially from the
reports of our yagers. 1 had scarce time to say
“what’s that?” and Mcßride had not had time
to reply to my question, when I heard a volley of
some twelve or fourteen rifles, and then a rattling
fire from some thirty or forty, all of which I
knew to be the Indians guns. Without any or
der from Capt. Malone, to bring up my company
to his assistance, I ordered my company to file to
the right, and charge at tho same. I called to tho
officers to keep the men closed up, and charged
to the front of the wagons, intending to pass
them next to Fort Cooper, and go forward to the
assistance of Capt. Malone; which movement
would bring me on Malone’s left, which was my
proper place, as I very well know. My company
was passing tho wagons in front, when I saw
one of Capt. Malone’s men, whose name I be
lieve is Kelly, come across the road, in the roar
of the wagons, at the top of his horse’s speed.
Whether ho was urging his horse, or his horse
had taken fright with him, and had thus carried
him off, I did not take time to ascertain, but
charged across the road, which was one hundred
yards from my former position, passed down u
a short distance and ordered the men to form the
lino, by dbming up on the left of each other, as
they were then in single file ; this throw (hem
out on tho left, fronting tho hammock, and facing
the enemy. The cause of my hailing was this:
I found ( ’apt. Malone’s company had been thrown
into confusion, and were retreating or filling back
before the fire from the Indians, making little or
no resistance ; I saw but three of his men who
had retained their position where the Indians
fired upon them—these three men were tho two
Mr. Mnyr’s, brothers, and a Mr. Rowland. The
j,wo Mr. Moyc’s, If I mistake not, were on horse
back, and Rowland on foot, having dismounted.
As I rode up, I saw one df tho Moye’s level his
gun, and it flashed ; Rowland seemed to he in the*
act of loading his rifle, having as I supposed dis
charged it. These three men were between where
I halted my company and the Indians. I called
out to Rowland to clear the way, or he would he
killed by my men. Whether he heard me or not
I know not, but he quickly changed his position,
moving off towards the right, and the front of
Capt. Malone’s company—tho two Moye’s at the
same time changed their position, and I fired my
rifle, giving, at the time, tho'word to my men to
fire, which Was promptly obeyed, by the whole
company; and we continued firing until Capt.
Malone rode up, and ordered us to cease firing,
dismount, and make a breastwork of our horses.
I ordered my men to take a position in the rear
of the wagons, which wore driven up close to
gether, (the Regufar. Soldier, with his team of
horses, which he had charge of, for the purpose of
bringing away tho six pounder, had runaway and
left us, when the fight begun.) I gave this order
that wo might have the advantage of the wagons,
which would he a protection for both men and
horses. We had hut just began to form hero,
when Capt. Malone ordered us to form in front
of the. wagons. To this I objected, hut he said
such was his orders, perhaps from Gen. Clinch,
ami I obeyed, brought rny company out and form
ed in front of the baggage wagons, with the
whole length of my line of horses broadside to
the hammock and within gun shot of tho same;
this fretted rnp somewhat, to see the whole'of my
horses thffs Sposed ; but fortunately for us the
Indians did not attack us. Capt. Malone hud
sent Lieut. Mcßride back to the camp, to inform
Gen. Clinch of tho attack, and vve remained on
the ground until a detachment of foot was sent to
ns, under the command of Col, Bankhead. We
then proceeded on to the Fort, without further
molestation from the Indians, brought off Major
Cooper’s Battalion, and relumed to tho army.
Next day wc took up the line of inarch across
the country to our right, for what was termed the
main Tampa Bay road, which when we struck,
we continued until we arrived at Fort King, and
from there marched to Fort Drane, on the day fol
lowing, where wc were discharged ; and then we
returned home.
This, so far as my memory serves me, is a
statement of facts, as they really occurred, and
which statement I made to my fellow citizens ol
Jefferson county, at a Dinner that they had the
kindness to give to the Jefferson Cavalry, on their
return from Florida; and what induced me to
give any statement whatever of the fight with the
Indians, on the day wc were escorting the wagons
to Fort Cooper, was, that upon the arrival of
Capt, Malone in Washington county, he gave
Ijis fellow citizens a statement of the same, and
made no mention of my company, excepting his
being ordered to lake my company and his own,
and go to the Fori, and bring off Major Cooper’s
Battalion ; he stated that his line was attacked
and thrown into momentary confusion, hut soon
returned the fire of the Indians, and that the In
dians retreated before the lire of his men. Now
Capt. Malone lias admitted to me that he thought
my men fired more guns than his. Well, if 1
fired more or even as many guns as Malone, I
should think the Indians retreated before the fire
of my men as well as Malone’s; and though he
had m arly two men to my one, in his company,
lie said not a won! about us, or the part wc acted
in that engagement, which I thought lie should
have done, as lie commanded as Major, and was
recognised by me and my command as such.
The statement respecting the attack upon his
line, which I refer to, ('apt. Malone published, or
caused to Ikj published, in the Recorder of tho
17th May last, if I mistake not. Now it was in
order that my fid low citizens of Jefferson, should
be informed of what wc were doing, the day tho
Indians were firing upon Malone’s men, that in
duced mo to say any thing whatever, relative
to the fight. It is true Oapt. Malone had two
men wounded that day, and I was fortunate r
nough not to have any of rny men wounded ;
but had two horses shot, which were those-of Mr.
Thomas Foley, and Mr. Nichols; both injured
slightly. This is the statement of that transac
tion which was made in public by me ; and in no
way have I fever diflered from it. It is the same
that I made in Louisville, at the Dinner which I
before mentioned; and this statement is correct,
to the best of my recollection.
It seems that report* had reached Capt. Ma
lone, that I had publicly called him a coward, and
his officers and men all cowards; and that they
behaved cowardly, during (lie Florida campaign -
r which with other reports, occasioned Capt. Malone
, to publish “A Card,” calling upon the public to
J suspend their opinion, until lie could procure the
- proper evidence from Gen. Clinch and others, to
- prove the charges false and slanderous. Not
j long after this publication, I received a letter from
> Capt. Malone, culling on mo to state whether I
f had called him ft coward, and his olliccrs and men
. all cowards, and had accused them of acting eow
[ ardly, during the Florida Campaign. To this 1
f replied, that I had not made any such charges, and
j that they were fabrications of some men pretend
ing to be bis friends; but that I had given a state
t meat of facts as they really did exist, such ns I
• have given above. Not long after this, I received
i another letter from Capt. Malone, requesting that
■ I would give him a certificate, staling that I had
■ never made such charges or accusations against
i him, and that his men all acted bravely through
the campaign. This I resolved not to do, as I
, very well knew that I had never knowingly or
wilfully injured or attempted to injure Capt. Ma
lone, or his company, either as gentlemen, or as
soldiers; and "that my remarks at our dinner were
not intended for that purpose, but because he hud
failed tojinform our citizens, in his publication* of
what wo wore doing that day, I thought i had a
right to do so, which I accordingly did, as above
related ; and I declined giving the certificate, on
this ground, also, as I bad never published any
thing whatever in relation to it. A short tinie after
this, on my way to Marion county, where 1 was
then going on a visit, it being but a short distance
out of my way to call by Sandcrsville, I resolved
to do so, and have an interview with Capt. Ma
lone, and settle this difiiculty. Accordingly,
when I arrived at Mr. Harman’s Tavern, I re
quested Mr. 11. if he saw Malone, to invite him
to see me, which he did, and Capt. Malone came
over to tho Tavern. I was up stairs asleep, and
Mr. Harman came up and woke mo, informing f
me (hat Cap!. Malone was below, in Mr. Daw
son’s room. I went down stairs, where I found
Malone, and tho usual salututions of friendship ‘
passed botweep us; no one being then in the 1
room but himself, Mr. Harman, ana I. Capt, «
Malone at length observed, that he supposed the
object of ibis interview was to settle our difficul
ty. I told him that it was. Ho then asked me 1
how I proposed to settle it ’! I told him it was
immaterial with me how it was done. Ho asked
me if I was for settling it in a friendly way ? I
told him I had no objections. He then proposed <
calling in some persons to hear (he conversation ; I
and I told him ho was at liberty to summon his «
village, if ho liked. That, he said, was unneces- '
sary. Mr. Harman was requested to invite sev- t
oral gentlemen in, to hear tho conversation. I 11
was not acquainted with all the gentlemen that I
gave their attendance, though \ knew one or two,
perhaps more of them. They were the same, I
believe, whoso names I see attached to a certifi
cate, respecting tho manner in which we settled
this misunderstanding. Wo diflered very little,
that is Capt. Malone and myself. Hi?, ntliepre
sonce of those men, askod me whether I had cull
ed him a coward, his men cowards, and the other
■ charges which jl have before mentioned I I
told him 1 had not, and what hod been bunded to
him as such, was nothing more than the con
struction |iut upon my remarks : when In nudity
I hud done nothing more Ihun relute a simple
statement of the (acts, as they occurred the day i
we wont to Cooper’s Fort; and I then informed
him what was tho cause of my making any re- .
murk in relation to the occurrences of that day ;
that it was in consequence of his failing or ne
glecting to do it, and I deemed it a duly I owed '
my command, to inform their friends what part ■
they hud acted on that day ; and that I claimed t
for myself tho same right to give a statement of I
that day’s transactions, as ho or any body else i
had. This much I have thought it to he my du
ty to say, regarding this matter, that tho public
may see whether 1 was or have been to blame.
They will see that I was drawn, unintentional y
on my part, into it. Here I hope that it will end;
never wishing again to ho called upon to correct
the misconstructions,of others, or to justify my
self amidst them. •
