caption of*In Honor Bound”—by “Salem
Dutcber, Esq., Augusta, Ga.”—we extract
the following, and regret that want of space
will not admit of the insertion of the article
entire. After a few preliminary remarks,
the writer quotes “the act” of the General'
Assembly of this State for tho relief of
maimed and indigent soldiers, officers, and
citizens of this State, and says:
“This act is fully operative so far as it
goes, hut, as will he seen by its terns, the
measure of relief contemplated by it, is re
stricted to “indigent” soldiers and officers
alone. In legal acceptation this term
“indigent” is considered as almost,5ffn.it
entirely, convertible with “ panjeu, ”
and in this view there is required of
all applicants for the limbs provided by this
act, an oath of utter inability to purchase-
the same on his own account. In ort*ir
words the disabled veteran of Georgia is re*
■ ired to sue for this measure of snrgieal
l as a matter ot charity and in former pszn
peris, thus making the presentation to him of
an artificial limb on behalf of the State de-

only a Georgian,the defender ofabeaten peo
ple, the msamed soldier of a lost cause—his
ird('.ilat,nu is bnt incidentally considered,and .
a sworn pauperism made the main ground
for extending to him a small measure of the
public aid. Were the disposition of those
who make thelaws responsible for this dis
creditable anomaly,'the General- Assembly
of this State were jostly amenable to a
charge of black ingratitude. But Bach-is
not the caset” -
After qnpting the Constitution, and show*.
ing wherein it has been misconstrued by
the members, (thus indueing.the restriction
in the gratnitous distribution of artificial
limbs) and briefly reviewing the former ab»
tions of the State toward her noble sons
who had been dismembered or disabled, the
writer says furthermore:
“The law, as it is now interpreted, affords
no relief to the citizen who, at t he bidding
of the State, leapt forth in the field to defend
her, and there, while presenting his breast
as her bulwark, was robbed of his limbs by
the public enemy. No reliefis said, because
as compared to the entire number of those
to whom-the State owes this debt of honor/
there are hut a very, very few who by this
act can reoeiv'e the payment of that sacred
obligation. Some that, perhaps, are really
so destitute as to be fairly within the pur
view of the law, are yet withheld from an
application by a fitting that we cannot bnt'
honor. They an the soldiers of as gallant an
army as ever made the earth qoakewith the
trend of i
iosod. There are, as is stated to the writer
>v one in a position to know officially of
tbeirnumbers, somethining like two thous
and men in the State of Georgia, who, in
breasting the storms of war in her behalt,
have been more or less mutilated in bodily
member. Some have lost but a hand, oth
ers again sn arm, others a leg and some few
have lost bothann and bg together. In a
few esses those who have suffered this hon
orable mutilation, are amply able to provide
for themselves the most approved style of
artificial substitute, and weankl not, did the
Law proffer it, avail themselves of the public
aid. Going to the other extreme, there are
alsoa number who have been'so wrecked
by fortune that, in their crippled and help
less state, it is so far Sat impossibility they
should help themselves that they are xather
in the lamentable condition of Betinsrius,
who, after a hey-day of gJ»»y T sat in his age
and decrepitude by the roadside to entreat
charity. But between' these extremes of
the rich and the poor tie- the great bulk of
those wl» have suffered the- horrible an-
; trash e< dismemberment for the sake of their
Intely destitute, nor yet by any means over
burdened with this world’s goods, these
brave men are in such circumstances that,
white they vanld not swear aa absolute i
bility to purchase, such purchase would
weigh most greviously upon their stratened
means. Some such cases the writer knows
of his own personal observations, and doubt
less like instances will occur to the mind of
almost every reader. Thus, to particularize
there is, where it is the fortune of the writer
daily to see him, a citizen of Georgia who, iti
one of the fierce battles of the war, was so
