Riat the people could not do better
than to re-elect Hon. Joseph E. Brown
for the United States Senate. lie can
do more to build up the material in

as a successful and far sighted busi

the State road; his development of
the coal fields of Dade county, by
which cheap coal will be furnished to.
run the industrial enterprises which
will spring up in the near future, is
ample proof of this fact. He may lie
deficient in painting baflie scenes
from the slump; but to develop the

The Gate City Guards.
This excellent company has created
quite a sensation- in the city. After

Captain Burke carried them through

without music, and their execution of
the mauuel brought forth many ejacu
lations of wonder from the delighted
bystanders. The Gate City Guard is
without doubt the best drilled company
in the State, and their presence in the

wishes of all will attend them.

Sketch of Capt. Habersham.
The following sketch of this heroic
fallen brave, whose picture is given in
‘mother part of the present issue, is
taken from Major Sidney Herbert’s
published “Roster of Georgia Vol
unteer Military Organization,
and will be read with interest by the .
young officers of “Camp Lee”:
Joseph Clay Habersham wassentin
early youth to the Sing Sing, N. Y.,
Military Academy, where, by his stu
dious habits and noble character, he
laid the foundation for his subsequent
military career. When the late war
commenced he was a student at South
Carolina College, Columbia, S. 0.,
and was chosen Orderly Sergeant of
the company so promptly organized I
by the students of that institution.!
Aside from his military education,
Sergeant Habersham was .possessed
of rare natural qualifications for this
important position, and to his zeal and
efliciency Were due (he high charac
ter and soldierly hearing of this com
mand. About the 12th of April, JSfil,
the company departed for Charleston,
and was assigned to duty there in the
, engagements preceding the fall of Fort
Sumter. Among the very first Io en
ter the Confederate service, this gal
lant young soldier rapidly rose to the
front rank in efficiency, knwledge of
military affairs, and manly courage. ■
When the college company disband
eb from temporary service, and scat
tered into permanent commands, Ser
geant Habersham’s rare qualities as;
a stall'officer were sufficient to secure j
him an honored position on the stall'of f
Gen. IL W.Merccr. and later, dttrinf?-
thc war, on the staff of Gen. Gist, and
other commanders, with the rank of
Captain. Valuable service was per-|
formed 4»y this young soldier, while I
on staff of Gen. Smith, at Tyhee and
other points around Savannah, and at
Brunswick, before he participated in
Hie more active and hazardous duties
of a staff officer in the Army of North
ern Virginia. And although his po
sition was one of importance, ami kept
him frequently exposed to danger,.yet
he passed through hardships and ex
posure on the coast, and the terrible
battles in Virgrnia (where his cousin,
Lieut. Fred Habersham, was killed),
thence moved across the Mississippi,
and finally back to Georgia, where,
although then on the stalfof Gen. Gist
he fell in battle. before Atlanta, in
the midst of Gen.* forcer’s old brigade
and surrounded by .the playinaAos and
friends of his youth and opfcuiiig 1
manhood. I j
Os the.death of Captaip
tnc South Carolinian, under da til of
Atlanta, Aug. R, 18G4, says: “(Ren.
Gizt’s staff acted with distinguished
gallantry. Major S and lla|er-
sham were at their respective posts,
waving their hats and swords and j
urging on the men. All of their;
horses wore shot. * * * * .* v i
Captain Habersham rode in front of
the Forty-sixth Georgia, assisting its
gallant Colonel in leading his men,
waving his hat in one hand,- his
sword in the other. When within a
short distance- of the enemy—but
leaping to the ground—he rushed on
waving his sword and cheering.
Just a few moments after a shell from
the enemy burst near him. * * *
Captain Loe Cutler (who had seen him
but a few moments before put a sol
dier on the back to encourage hint jto
keep up), ran to his assistance as lie
fell, and to whom ho said ; ‘Tell my
mothet*! die happy—l dieat my post,
defending my country.’ Then his
noble spirit was borne away upon the
shouts of victory from thousands of
patriotic hearts.”
A Nuisance.
We would respectfully call the at
tention pf the city authorities to the
horrible condition the Howard street
sewer is in, where it crosses Broad.
The stench issuing from either end, is
sickening and it is feared now that the
odor has given Mr. Jim Spronll a spoil
of typhoid fever, as he has lately con
tracted that disease audit can be at
tributed to no other cause. Ten o’clock
at night (ho stench is dreadful audit
this is not a harbinger of disease there
is nothing that is. The authorities
have been censured very severely for
■ tliis negligence, and we think justly so.
One of tile Chatham’s Wounded,
As the corps of the Chatham Artil
lery was coming down the Calhoun
road at full tilt, yesterday, Orderly
Sergeant Turner's horse became un
manageable, thereby causing him tn
run into Guidon Saussy. The former’s
sword passed through the latter's ear.
inflicting an ugly, through not very
painful wound. Guidon Saussy is do
ing well but says Sergeant Turner will
have to practice riding before the next
parade.

A Graceful Tribute.
In passing the Rome Hotel yester
day morning the military gave a
marching salute to Gen. Wm. Mont
gomery Gardner, a battle-scared hero
of two wars. ILL. Davis, a gallant
member of the Chatham Artillery,
lost an arm while serving under Gen.
Gardner, and the Oglethorpe Light
Infantry, of Savannah, was in his
command. The salute, therefore, was
a graceful tribute to one whose valor
was not unknown to those who gave it.
