The emigrant Indians, weary and dispirited, hav
ing crossed the river, the aged chief struck his hat

Alabama! Uert we rett! Here we rett /”
O’er the rushing Chattahoochee
Came a weary cavalcade.
In the sober autumn twilight,
Toiling through the everglade.
From the silvery Savannah,
And the rolling Ockmu^gee,
To a wilderness primeval
Fled the footsteps of the free.
Through the pathless thicket wending*
By the giant rocks up-piled.
Over dark ravines impending.
Rugged ramparts of the wild,
Crime the chieftain and his people,
Belted bravo and his bride,
With her dark cheek flushed with fever,
And her red lip curled with pride.
Not a note of martial music
Blended couch and atabal.
Mingled with the booming thunderi
Of the rushing waterfall.
Not upon a bloody war-path.
Panoplied in paint and plume.
Spread they like a stream of meteors.
Flashing through the forest gloom.
But a spell of haggard silenco
Lay upon each visage stern.
As if each his dead heart carried
In a monumental urn.
For these haughty spirits drivon
By an unrelenting fate.
Like a brood of forest etgles
Left their eyrie desolate.
All the Orient is purpled
With an amethystine hue,
And the Western heaven slumbers
In its hyacinthino blue.
From tho sombre mists dark-rolling
On the bosom of the hill.
Sounds the melancholy night-watch
Of the lonely whip-poor-will.
Heavily the dry canes rustlo
With the yellow-tinted vines;
And the wild wind sough is sighing
Through tho ever tossing pines.
Redly cast along the waters,
’Mid the solemn gloom of night.
Streams the ruddy glare of torches,
And .he beacon’s bluxing light.
Underneath the lofty arches
Of the forest's rocking dome,
Rise a thousand dusky wigwams .
Round the chieftain’s tented home.
And the venerable sachem.
With his tameless soul of flame, * r
Gave the desert place a nation.
And the wilderness a name;
When he, turning to his warriors,
Around him closely prest,
Broke the spell of silence saying,

SECRETARY Of STATE.
JTon. Robert Toombs—Was born in Wilkes county,
Ga., July 2, 1810. Commencing bis Collegiate life
at tbe University of Georgia, he subsequently went
North, and graduated at Union College, Schenecta
dy, N. Y. In 1836 he served aa a Captain of volun
teers in the Creek war, In the next year he eras
elected to the Legislature, and since that time has
been constantly in public life as Representative and
Senator. Jn both branches of the Federal Congress
he has always served upon important committees.
Mr. Toombs has been so conspicuously before the
country, and his ability and experience are so well
known, that It is superfluous for us to say anything
of him. In the late movement of Georgia, ho has
boon active and potential in the cause of secession.
We honor him for the signal service he has rendered.
He has been called to a post of great importance-
one which will serve to display all his merits as, a
statesman. Upon the sagacity of his counsels abd
the power of his pen, much will depend iu regard to
tho relationship of the Confederate States with tbe
rest of the world. He has our hearty gold wishes
for complete success in the graeo duties which lie
before him, • ■
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
Hon. C. O. Jlemminyer.—There arc few men in
the South who are more competent, in point of abil
ity and business capacity, to administer the depart
ment of the Treasury under the Government of the
Confederate States than Mr. Memminger. Possess
ed of a high order of intellect, a student, learned
and full of resources as an accomplished advocate,
ho ia eminently a man of facts and details. This is
essential qualification to a great financier, and
combined with ability and integrity, almost iusurya
success to one who, like Mr* Memminger, has stu
died political economy by the great principle of
laistts tout fairs. The South warns an iconoininsl
Government, and an adequate revenue raised by
equal taxation of citizens. Free trade low duties
and no discriminations, will put all .on an equal foot
ing, and saddle the burden of taxation upon the la
bor of none. It will encourage none to enter upon
unremunerntive enterprises at the expense of neigh
bors’ pockets, but give all fair play and tbe benefit
of the markets of the world. We congratulate Mr.
Memminger upon the honor of his appointment to
this responsible position in the New Confederacy,
and the States upon having one so well fitted to
perforin its duties faithfully and upon sound princi
ples.
SECRETARY OF WAR.
Hon. Leroy Pope Walker—Is a lawyer of, Hunts
ville, Alabama, a native of that county, Madison,
and about forty-five years of age. He i* the eldest
ton of the late Major Walker, and,one of a family
distinguished for talent and influence. Two of his
brothers are Hou. Percy Walker, whp recently rep
resented the Mobile District in Congress and Hon*.
Judge Richard W. Walker, of Florence, Chairman
of the Alabama Delegation in the present Confede
rate Congress. Hon. L. P. Walker at one time prac
tised law in South Alabama, and was for several
sessions Speaker of the House of Representatives of
the State. He has been a consistent Democrat of
the State Rights school. For the last ten yean he
has been located in Huntsville, and bus the reputa
tion of being the leading lawyer, and next to Clay,
the leading Democrat of North Alabama. Careful
in the preparation of hia causes, and cleat, concise,
logical and eloquent in presenting < them before
court, he is said to be an-cmincntly successful prac*
titioner. For the last three years he has been con
spicuous {& his denunciation of the free soil heresy
of squatter sovereignty. In tho Alabama Democrat
ic Convention which took ground against it, and sen^
a delegation to Charleston to curry out her instruct
ed opposition, Gen. Walker’s influence was marked
and effective. He was one of the delegation sent
here, and exerted himself ably in resisting the com
promises offered. The result all know. He has
been a leader in the cause of the* South, and de
serves a place in tbe picture. As a man of clear
head, good judgment, systematic and laborious in
his habits, with undoubted nerve, spirit, energy,
and will, we cannot help thinking he is an excel
lent selection for the Department of War at the pres
ent juncture.
SECRETARY OY TBE WAVY.
Hon. John Perkins, Jr.,—Was born in Louisiana*
July 1, 1819. In 1840 he graduated at Yale Col
lege, and subsequently at the Law School of Ilar-
vard College. He began the practice of his pro-
ik..:.. i— vqvi v. ...
fession in New Orleans. In 1851, he was chosen
Judge of the Circuit Court of Louisiana, which po
sition be held nntil elected to Congress in 1858*.
where he advocated States Rights Democratic mea
sures. Since 1855 he has devoted himself to plant
ing fa his native State. The post of Secretary of
the Navy to the Confederate States fa a post re
quiring prompt energy and sound practical judg
ment. A navy is to be organized, and, as we have
recently had occasion to suggest at length, the man
ner of that organization fa of lasting consequence.
Upon the wisdom exercise din fitting it to the waqts
of the Sooth, and that ns early as practicable, much
property and many lives, not tossy the Confederate
Character before tbe world, may depend. Mr. Per
kins bear* a high character, and we trust will prove
himself fully equal to the task.
