DAILY TRIBUNE. < ■■■" ' ■ - Consolidated with the Dalton En terprise, October 20th, 1870. a? K.IIANBURY, J FRANK J.COHKNj -Editor*. HOME. GA., JULY 10,1880. for president, WINFIELD S. HANCOCK. 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 ? —— ■ —> n—■ ■ 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. ' < Miscellaneous Advertisements. P. L.
