FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
WILLIAM H. ENGLISH.
Announcements.
WE arc authorized to announce John W.
Rknproe as a candidate for re-election
as State Treasurer.
The first bolls of open cotton are
coming to the front.
Gov. Colquitt, Gen. Gordon and
Senator Brown have all been invited
to speak at Talbotton on (he 22d.
There are so many non-combatants
going to Canada and Europe that the
Boston Post is apprehensive of anoth
er war.
The Radical press is complaining
that Hancock has no civil record. Gar-
Held is also complaining that he has
too much record.
A correspondent writes that “not
one-fourth of the people who gather
ed to hear Governor Brown at New
nan could crowd inside the court
house.”
Mr. P. F. Lawshe wants to sell a
half interest in the Gainesville South
ron. This is one of the best estab
lished and widely circulated country
journals in the Stale.
Gen. Hancock and Gen. Garfield
arc both to be invited to be present in
Boston at the celebrafton of its two
hundred and fiftieth anniversary, on
the 17th of September next.
More from John W. Forney: “1
am of the opinion that General Han
cock will be elected the next President
of the United States. 1 think 100,000
Republicans will vote for him.”
The enemies of Hon. Alexander 11.
Stephens are beginning to throw ob
stacles ii. his way, now the honorable
gentleman is getting ready to stand for
re-election, and to “tote his own skil
let.”
The President yesterday signed the
commissioned of Uftiil M. Key, of
Tennessee, to be iffied States district
i WfCii itnrt-TnTmrnj tfw
tricts of Tennessee, to Postmaster
general.
If it may be said by the Milwaukee
Sentinel: the revenue tariff plank of
t lie Democratic platform is a good
thing, so far as tiie principle is con
cerned, but it will hardly add to the
party vote in Pennsylvania''. •
The Atlanta Constitution says Oitr
military encampment is a “faint indi
cation” of what their October encamp
ment will be. It should have said that
their October encampment will sim
ply be a “faint reflection” of what our
splendid encampment already is.
This is good news indeed. A tele
gram from Dublin to London says :
“The weather all over Ireland, up to
the present time, has been favorable,
and it is expected that the potato
crop will lie enormous. It promises
to exceed anything seen in Ireland
since the peHbd anterior to lhe famine
of 1817. Root and cereal crops are all
luxuriant.
The Atlanta Constitution devotes
about three inches to the Rome en
campment and says : “Tlie Rome en
campment is a faint indication of what
Atlanta will have when the Northern
military comes in October.” Os course,
but is that the way to treat your sis
ter city that pays you between one
and two thousand dollars annually.
Can it be that you arc envious, or why
is it that Rome is rarely ever men
tioned in your columns ?

A large number of the citizens of
Murray county have signed a request
for Hon. L. N. Trammell to permit his
name to be used as a candidate for the
Senate. Col. Trammell is well worthy
of their support and will know how
to properly represent them. We trust
that he will sutler his name to lie used
ami that the people will elect him hi
st and of another candidate who expects,
if elected, to put the laws of Georgia
into a book the size of Webster’s
speller.
The cause of the recent duel in
South Carolina and the death
cf Col. Shannon, by Gen. Cash, arose
from severe and insulting insinua
tions by the former in a law case in
which the wife ot Gen. Cash was free
ly spoken of. We hope this will be a
warning to other lawyers who are too
ready to take advantage of their posi
tion before the court to insult and
abuse witnesses ou the otherside.
People have very little legal protec
tion these days from rude and wan
ton insults from lawyers opposed to
them before a jury.— Augusta News.
SKETCH OF OEN. WUF.ELER.
As we publish a roster of the caval
ry companies in the present issue, it is
very appropriate to give also a picture
of one of the most intrepid and fear- ,
less cavalry commanders in the Con
federate army.
We refer to Lieut. General Joseph
Wheeler, who was born in Augusta, i
Ga.. September 10th, 1836, graduated
from the United States Military Acad
emy at West Point, July 1, 1859, and
was attached to the Dragoons. In 1860
he was transferred to the Mounted
Riflemen, and promoted to be a First
Lieutenant, which rank beheld April
22d, 1861, when he resigned to take
service in the Confederate Army.
From a First Lieutenant, stationed at
Pensacola, Fla., he was promoted to
be Colonel of the Nineteenth Alabama
Regiment. His brilliant career com
menced with the battle of Shiloh, and
from that time his promotion was
steady, as his services were invaluable,
until, at the early age of twenty-eight
years, he reached the exalted rank of
Lieutenant-General.
In the opinion of Gen. Lee, expressed
while on a visit to Savannah, after the
war, Wheeler and Stuart were the two
greatest cavalry commanders of the
Confederate Army. Certain it is, as
the official records show, that General
Wheeler was the most tireless and per
sistent fighter in the service, and his
four years were tilled with hard work,
daring deeds and brilliant achieve
ments.. Since the war he has quietly
practiced law at Wheeler, Ala., where
he has a most delightful home, but of
. late the people of Alabama have called
. him into active service on the stump,
to aid the Democratic party in its great
reform movement.
GEORGIA MILITARY.
Hosier of Cavalry Companies.
' Having given a roster of the batal
-1 ion organizations, and of the infantry
detached companies, we now add a
roster of the cavalry commands in the
. State, with a picture of a great caval
ry commander, Gen. Joseph Wheeler.
) There were in and around Savannah
some years ago, to cavalry squadrons,
one of which was commanded by the
■ late Col. Edward C- A»dersoii, j l '-> but
' at present there is no battalion organi
! z.ation in the State.
The only live commands, so far as
we know, now in service, are the fol
lowing; Georgia Hussars, of Savan
, nah; Efllingham Troop, of Efiliiig
p ham county ; Burke Hussars, of Burke
t county: Wilkins Cavaliers of Wayiffis
_ boro
Washington Dragoons, Washington
county.
It is possible that the Boston Troop,
! of Boston, and the Thomas Hussars,
‘ of Thomasville, new companies, and
I the Etowah Dragoons,of which Gon.
■ P. M. B. Young, of Cartersville, is
! commander, arc entitled to a place
with the live companies, although
nothing has been heard from them of
late. Our list is probably pretty full
and accurate.
Our reporter was introduced to
■ Gov. Colquitt yesterday, with the rc-
■ mark that “this gentleman wishes to
write you up.” Whereupon the Gov
ernor remarked : “I have been writ
ten down so often I would like to be
w ritten up for a change.” So here
goes for a writing up, as far as it
reaches:
At a meeting of the Murray county
Democracy, held on the sth lust., the
following was 4 unanimously adopted :
2. Believing in the purity of the
public and private motives of his Ex
cellency, Gov. A. 11. Colquitt, and in
the exalted standing of Georgia in the
Union, financially and otherwise,
made thus through his statesmanlike
administration, wo hereby, with no
ordinary degree of pleasure, endorse
said administration, and do direct the
delegates appointed by this meeting to
cast their votes as a unit in tlie guber
natorial convention forhim ashisown
successor.
3. That recognized the almost un
paralleled ability of the Hon. Joseph
E. Brown —his far-seeing statesman
ship, his devotion to Georgia and her
varied interests, pecuniary and other
wise—we heartily approve of his ap-
■ pointment to the United States Sen
ate as successor of the Hon. John B.
. Gordon.
Now, it seems to us, that this is pret
ty good writing up, and if we mis
take not the signs, a good deal more
of this kind of writing up will be
done in tlie next few days.
“In working for the election of
Gen. Hancock,” says the New Haven
Jlegister, “(he Democrats have pot
one word to waste in his defense.” '
There is nothing in his character that
calls for a defensive campaign. He is
not entangled in any Credit Mobilier
scandal, DeGolyer contracts or kin- ■
tired matters. Educated at West
Point, and an officer of the army, he ;
has always borne that dignified and
unsullied character that is the honest i
pride of armv officers. Not one word 1
of apology is needed for our candi- (
date. The canvass can be conducted ,
aggressively, must be conducted ag- i
gressively. ]
Gov. Gahtiiell is making an ag- I
gressivc campaign for Governor and <
will keep“it up if it takes all summor.” I
THE GEORGIA JHLITAUV.
Koster of Uetaclicd Commands, i
In our yesterday's issue we gave a
complete roster of all the batallion
ganizations in the State, and this
morning we present a roster of the de
tached infantry companies, so far as
they can be ascertained in the present
imperfect condition of official records.
The cavalry and artillery rosters will
be given during tiie week.
Athens Guards, of Athens; Albany
Guards, of Albany; Atlanta Grey's
(now formed into a batallion); Con
stitutional Guards, of Taylor Creek :
Fort Valley Voluteers, of Fort Valley:
Jefferson Riflemen, of Louisville:
Marietta Riflemen, of Marietta; Mitch
el Light Guards, of Macon ; Southern
Rights Guards, of Perry ; Thomasville
Guards, of Thomasville ; WashingtSi
Rifles, of Sandersville; Southern Rifles
of Talbotton.
The above are all the known live in
fantry companies not connected with
batallions. There arc three companies
of cadets each year at the Dahlonega
Agricultural College, two at the Uni
versity of Georgia, and also at fhc
Milledgeville College, the Thomasville
College and the Cuthbert College, all
under the care of the University, and
all entitled to military organizations.
The Governor’s Guards, of Atlantia,
since adopting the name of the Atlan
ta Greys, have, we learn, been recently
organized into two companies, ami are
now known «s the Atlanta CB-c#s
Batallion, commanded by Lieut-(si.
W. I. Heyward, formerly commander
of the Governor’s Guards.
Colquitt’* Vindication. *
Editors Tribune —Considerable "Is
being said about Gov. Colquitt’s “vin
dication” as if it was out of place for
a good and true man to wish to clear
his name from reproach for the sate
of his family, from the calumnies
that have been placed upon it by dis
appointed office seekers, and thotc
who were unsuccessful in secnriiig
peace after bis election. Every charge
that has been brought against hipi
has been sifted and investigated
by the legislature and every one hfcs
as repeatedly disappeared as the
morning dew before the rays of the
rising sun—not one of them were
substantiated and the Legislature
composed of lhe best'men in the State
exonerated him from all blame in tje
matter. Is it any wonder therefore
that he should wish the voice of tie
people to endorse the exoner
ation and free forever
the honorable name of Colquitt, froyn
the inuendocs that have been placed
upon it, and for the voice of the pofi
ple to forever remove the foul odflr
which his political enemies seek to di
tach to it. It is true he lias made m ip
takes, and who has not, but docs it njbt
seem proper and for the best intereit
of the State, now that he has learniw.
by actual experience, the diftics If
<lovernor, that.he sffould be re-elected?
True men think so, and if I mistiA'
iibt the indications of (he countd'i
that have overwhelmingly elocteil
gave him a fair trial upon every chadT
and exhonerated and cleared him frKi
all blame; and now it is the duty qf
the people to affirm that verdict. I
An Old Democrat.
. A High Tribute.
The Missionary Church anil School,
a Baptist paper, edited by Rev. T. C.
Boykin and Rev. G. A. Nunnally has
this to say of State Treasurer Ren
froe :
It is now known that of the dele
gates already appointed to the State
Gubcrnotorial Convention, over two
thirds will support Mr. Renfroe for
State Treasurer. And it is confident
ly asserted by those who have had
their index lingers on the political
pulse, that he will sweep the wire
grass region with a unanimity unpar
alleled in the history of the Goevgia
campaigning. If this be true, his
nomination on the first ballot is a
foregone conclusion, and if nomina
ted no candidate will bring more
strength to the tioket than he. He is
a power anywhere, you put him.
Georgia never had a more capable offi
cer. Georgia cannot place a more
watchful and safe sentinel at the door
of her Treasury. Georgia's credit
never stood fairer than how. It is a
matter of solid pride to every Geor
gian that the Empire State of the
South stands as high as the highest in
the financial catalogue of States. It
is a matter of pleasure to us to be able
to state that this happy state of affairs
is due to the unexampled successful
administration of Colonel John W.
Renfroe, State Treasurer. Let those
who build up the credit, and save the
money of the State be retained in their
positions.
Col. C, W. Anderson.
This distinguished officer, who on
yesterday assumed command at Camp
Lee, comes of a remarkable military
family. Ills father was Capt. John
W. Anderson, of Savannah, a gallant
and accomplished soldier. The other
sons are also well-known and experi
enced officers. Gen. R. IL Anderson
graduated at West Point and resigned
from the army to join the Confederate
forces. Major Geo. W. Anderson was
one of the bravest defenders of Fort
Pulaski and the seacoast. Capt. John
-W. Anderson 1s the accomplished com
mander of the Savannah Cadets, the
champion prize drill company of
Georgia.
Col. Anderson graduated at the fa
mous Virginia Military Institute, and
was a classmate of Capt. T. J. Dabney,
son of Hon. W. 11. Dabney, of this city.
In addition to this he had superior
training as a youth and young man,
in the Confederate army.
Since the war Col. Anderson has
risen to the command of the only regi
ment in Gcr.rgia, in whose ranks he
won his deserved promotion, and is
the onlyColoncl in the State in com
mand. No officer has done more to
improve the condition, enlarge the
privileges, and dignify the character
of the Volunteer Military of Georgia.
He was President of the Board of offi- <
ears appointed to revise the military <
laws of the State. ' <
