POLITICAL DEFdHI •'IONS--P JLITICAL
fdluK 1—DO fY OF tHB H0UA
The manifest meoropotency of the last
General Assombly admonishes tho people
to a, closer scrutiny as to men who seek to
compose the next. Tho welfare of the peo
pic in ita widest sense will be confided to
them. In the last election the people were
duped under the delusive cry of‘‘No Party.”
This term ai practically construed by the
political hacks whom the people had again
and again repudiated, flignilled to the voter
that lie must unmurmuringly support the
candidate wiiom ibo clique of “No Party”
men offered to him. The illustrious patri-
i riots wno succeeded, by the whine and cunt
of “No Paiiy” to smuggle into tho last
Legislature the most violent and bigoted
party men, who had repeatedly been re
jected by me people, now hypocritically de-
uouueo ‘’dissension” in this hour of our
c mutry’s peril. But what do they mean by
“dissension.” Their practi<?te explains it.—
Dissension in their political dictionary
means an tin willingness on. tho part of others
to sustain a man for office whom they in
their modesty and wisdom dictate to tho peo
ple.’’ Tiiose' exhorters of unity doubtless
luei that tho hearts of tbe people should
overdow with gratitude to them for re
lieving the people of all trouble in tho small
muter of selecting their rulers. Those
am able irieuds of the people do somewhat
more to ingratiate thetnsetves in the confi
dence of ilia people. They, a small poition
ot mo citizens, will meet at the Court House
or sometimes in a private caucus, nominate
a ime one of tho Clique and proclaim him
t ae Choice of the country.
In mis way, unless the independent vot-
ors oi tue county counteract it, a few men
r rittaUy choose our members of the Legis-
1 luire. I warn the people against these
t.icits by whica they are virtually disfran-
caiajd. D strusi, watch and oppose the men
w T ao cry ‘no party,” and yet invariably stick
to inner p irty prejudices. Such men can find
no man out ot their old party associations who
in tueir estimation is tue man tor tho office.
My conn try men, whenever you hear a man
o.caching up unity in matters of election,
m tra uiui well, for he has a favorite tor
t > unite on with him.

imsji of the people is most signally dem

ty men deuouuce him most bitterly and

e mciudo tuat the old grudge against the
people’s lavorite is still alive. His adversa

In the gigantic war in which ihe Confede
racy is now engaged, every man who is a
min is expecteu to do his uuty to the coun

The dissemination oi knowledge among the

cil profession, the preparation aud produc-
i on ot things for the support aud equipment

wu ch a patriot may at home eflec'ually
sirve his country. A man within the milita
ry age, who is able bodied and not engaged
iu one of the foreg *ing occupations can
alone manifest his patriotism by enl.s ingin
tue army. It ia is contrary to tho unitorm
custom aud laws of civilized nations for the
to expect tae old to be as a class the
ldiers ot the country. And yet there
ng men who remain at home, not
any occupation, who produce
i\.T the support of the army, or the
■ nd orphans of soldiers, who, aided
ght out by the “no psrty men and
nters,” to shield iherme.ves from
ty, by filling legislative offices to
ntv of enlarged experience and ma-
Fiimter endorsement. If a man has to go-a
hundred miles fr un home to get an«indorse
ment to his note, or his character, it is con
sidered a suspicious circumstance. How
came these wisemen of Sumter to know s<
manv things about Mr. Hill, which Mr. Hi 1
either does not know h mself, or which he

McIntosh is nrs Death, the Indian
Caesar.—A correspondent and friend fur
nishes the Home Courier with the following
paragraph :
The Hon. Dixon H. Lewis informed me
that he was weilMcquainted with McIntosh,
the Creek Indian chief, who wrb murdered
by the minority oi tho chiefs, who were
greatly dissatisfied with the treaty which
convened tneir lands to the U. 8. Govern
ment He Wt»8 a halt-bieed, the sou ot a
Scotchman, aud represented by* Mr. Lewi.**
as ihe noblest specimen of a man he evet
saw, and that iu his death the very counter-
pirt or the assassination of the great CHMar
was re-enacted. It seems that M*Iuiot>h
was apprised of the hostile intentions of tne
minority ehiets, and had taken tho precau
tion to' supply himself with arms, and re
solved to Pell me dearly. On a brght 8un
day, however, when * he was up stairs in-
his own house, toy ing with hia wives, the
hostile chiefs suddenly surrounded nim, aud
with savage yells, immediately commenced
firing on nim. He and his wives fought
them desperately, until McIntosh, being bad-
ly "wounded, and thinking he would be
able to light to more advantage below stairs,
started upon his wuy thither, but when he
reached the great landing on the stops, he
suddenly stopped and exclaimed: “I hear
the voice of Mmanwa I aad he too the friend
of my enemies !” He threw away his arms
and quietly submitted to hia relentless mur
derers. Tim Minauwa had been saved from
the knife, when a child, by Mclnfi sh, in one
of the Indian wars, reared as his own child,
made a sub chief, and otherwise tenderly
fared tor by him, and, when the noble sav
age heard the voice of his ungrateful adopt
ed son, hounding on his enemies to his de
mander to visit Mount I leasant, stole a boaU atrUctlon “ ingratitude, moi o strong than
and rowed out m the da-kness ot the nighr* > trallor > s arms, quite vanished him.” It is in
to the Montauk. Capt. Fairfax picked them
them np and sent them ashore to the.mnm-
ing.
QUESTIONING THE'NEW COMERS.
The sight of seven able-bodied men iu the
rebel uniform, as they marched down to the
beach to the Provost Marshal’s office, was
sufficient to attract the attention ot every
one in camp, and by the time they reached
Col. flall’B headquarters they had been sub
jected to a pretty thorough pumping. Tire
curious and inquisitive sent volleys of ques
tions at them as they passed along, and to
all these the graybacks responded with as
much good nature as if they had drawn a
bead or pulled a trigger upon their ques
tioners. In the hnudp of the Provost Marshal
they were put through another and more
systematic course of sprouts.
What regiment do you belong to?’* asked
that official.
“Eighth North Carolina.”
“When did yon leave your command.”
“Last night, alter moondown.”
“How did y T ou get away ?”
“We came in a small boat, sir, out to the
Montauk”
“Have you seen Fort Sumter on the Sul
livan’s Island side ?”
“Well, we saw what was left of it last
night.”
v “What effect have our shots had on trt
“Well, sir, yo’ve giv’etn a heap ot trouble
sir. The bricks is all knocked away, and»
you can Bee daylight right through the
fort.”
•‘Are any guns dismounted V”
“Yes, sir.”
“Are they repairing the damage at night ?
Are they putting in sandbags so that they
can stay tnere ?”
“Indeed I don’t know, sir. When we
came by last night we hadn’t time to stop.
They was right smart ’o hollerin’ there,
like as they waft haulin’ or liltin’ some
thin’.”
“How came so many to desert t ogether ?
Were you not afraid to talk to each other
al>out coming away ?”
“Well, we was all neighbors afore the war
and we knowed who we was talkin’ to. The
whole brigade would desert if they could get
a chance.”
“How do they feel about Sumter?”
“Oh, the papers is full of mighty big talk,
like they alius was, but we could see it, an’
we knew twag cornin’ down. They’re gom’
to hold it as long as they can. Tne soldiers
o*er to Moultrie feci pretiy aofe, hut some
how they’re kind o’ discouraged. Battery
Bee will give you uns a beltin’ though. She’s
got some big rifles, an’ they feel safer’n all
the rest.”
“How large a force is there in Charleston
now ?”
“I don’t know. Its six weeks since wo
was in Charleston.”
So the questions were plied, and so the
answers returned, umil every conceivable
subject was exhausted. The deserters ex
pressed a strong desire to return to their
State, which, they think, is soon to come
back into the Union. Tney were provi led
with quarters, and assured that when the
proper rime arrived they should be permit
ted to go North.
Mr. Hiix’s Endorsers in Sumter Co.—
Mr. Geo. M. Dudley, Billy Patterson, and
some o or 6 other men in Sumter, have en
dorsed Mr. Hill, and Advised everybody to
vote for him. They say they know Mr.
Hill’s position exactly, and that he is all
sight. Now, how came these men away
down in Sumter county to know so much
more about Mr. Hill than his neighbors in
Jasper, Morgan, Putna n, and Baldwin.—
Mr. Hill has been in MiUedgeville since he
was announced as a can idate, and somo ot
his old p ditical iriends, we are informed,
tried very T hard to find out how he stood on
several important questions,but could get no
satisfaction, and we have not heard from
the first one that will suppurt him- The
Recorder had kept mam on the Hill sensa
tion until after Mr. Hili left, and then that
paper raised the name of Tim Furlow, of
Bumter, tor Governor. *Ve j udge from this
that even the Recorder could not support
Mr. Hill, and when ihe Recorder refuses to
support an old Whig in opposition to Gov.
Brown, his case must be a very suspicious
one. We have seen several gentlemen from
Jaapsr and Patnam within a lew days, and
they say that many of Mr. Hill’s old per
sonal and political friends will not touch
film with a 40-foot pole. When. Mr. Hill’s
old neighbors and friends refuse to endorse
hint, there Is something suspicions in this
savage life, the very scene in
Senate of CVosar’s cl tv Brute

Is it not?

III, His Excellency, the Governor, hay

nestly solicited to co-operate with me in the
discharge of my duties.
It is not intended to interfere or conflict
in any way with other authorities, and I
hope that all will work harmoniously to
gether for the good of our common cause.
IY. The privilege of volunteering is ex

but all persons liable to conscription who
do not volunteer at once, are hereby requir
ed.to report forthwith to the nearest enroll

officer in the State acting under authority
from me, when they will be properly assign

Those who respond promptly, will meet
with all the favor that I may be able to ex

put upon me the unpleasant task of using
forcible measures to bring them to duty;
but if any should re use to comply with the

The good and the beautiful depafr, and
are at rest; we are left to monrn their lo^s
on earth. Can fetble words do justice to the
nemory of her wc so sincerely mourn. Oh
no, we would not attempt to portray all her
many loving qualities. And fetble though
our effort, we will try to offer her bereaven
ones a few words of deep, of heartfelt sym
pathy. ’
Lenora Josephine Sharp fell sweetly
asleep in Jesus on the 15 h August, 1863,
aged 15 years, 2 months and 13 days. In
tier joyous youth, when her cup was over
flowing with every earthly blessing and nor
a cloud obscured her horiz in, our young
friend was smitten with tho fell disease
<vhich terminated so fatally, and that home
and that hearthstone which recently so
oright with the happiness she gave and re
ceived, how dark the eclipse which in a few
short months has passed upon it, and how
deep the grief to those who loved her so
dearly. Humanly speaking she has taken
with her a perfect record, and was ready,
willing and anxious to meet her Lord and
Master. And never, while the feeble pulse
of life continues to beat, will the writer of
this forgot the sceno around her dying
couch. Calling hsr physician, calmly, with
out any excitem* nt, she said, Doctor, how
ong have I to'live? He replied by asking
her if she was afraid to die. Oh no, sir.
said she,I am anxious to be at rest, I want
to see ray dear father. I know I will meet
him in Heaven. Oh ! joyfnl anticipation,
turning her mild, dove like eyes to a friend
said she, I will see your sons there—naming
each of them—now pray for me to die soon.
We kneeled, we prayed for her sufferings*
to ceass. Just before it was ended she cried
out exultingly, glory, glory, hallelnj ib,until
her voice was spent; she then requested U9
to sing; oh! sing to me of Heaven. On
complying she joined in and sang, in a clear
and Heavenly voice, making the chorus of
the hymn, I’m glad salvation’s free, resound
through the solemn hour of darksome night.
It seemed as if all the Heavenly host were
thercjvhile chanting her song of victory;
and more than that, our souls were blest
i deed; we truly felt it was good to be
there. 1 After a few brief moments she re
quested that; some of her young compan
to our minds that m the midst of lite we are
in death! and how positive the caution to
us to prepare ourselves, and have our lamps
trimmed and burning! for in such an hour
as we know not, the Son of man cometh.—
May we be fully prepared to meet him wh >
so fully exemplified in his life a preparation
for death, aad who was so suddenly snatch
ed away by tbe hand of an All-Wise Provi
dence ; and we must bow in humble submis
sion to this mysterious dispensation. With
his affl cted family we would mingle the tear
of sympathy, though his image will ever re
main in their thoughts, and continually re
call the purest associations connected with
his stay among them; and while their affec
tions groan beneath the barbsd wound, we
wouldjpint them to that bless jd consolation
which robbed Death ot his sting • and the
grave of its victory.
On j we dir ell In Him forever ;
Jeans is tne kindred tie;
Oh! His not In death to sever

affectionate farewell, telling them she would
soon be in Heaven, that they must meet her
there. But another thought intruded at
that time; she regretted not having joined
the church, ahd on a friend suggesting that
if she "wished she could then become a
memoer. A holy radiance illumined her
countenance; she extended her feeble, dy

kind and attentive physician, and was ac

OBITUARY.
Departed this life on the 10th April, 1863,
at bis residence in Jonesboro’, Ga., after a
brief and severe illness of four days, Wiri
ltam Henry SnARE, in his 47th year. Our
departed friend wus from early youth a wor
thy and consistent member of the Methodist
Episcopal church, and fully adorned his pro
te8sion, by a Godly walk and conversation.
Few, while living, have better fulfilled the
mission of life, and dying, have left behind
them so painful a void. The Church, the
Sibbath School, his family, and the commu
nity have sustained a loss that will long con
tinue to be felt, and mourned over. He has
gone down to the grave amid the heartfel
sorrow of many friends, and the tears of a
devoted and affectionate family. A tender
nuaband, a fond father, a model of conscie n
tious probity in all dealings with his fellmv-
caen. Highly esteemed and endeared to ma
ny, by his mild, gentle demeanor; in social
intercourse he leaves ajplace which must long
remain vacant in the circle of hia acquaint
ance, and which never can be filled within
the more sacred precincts of a home desolate
ieed without his presence. Of him it may
be truly said his walk was best known to
those who knew him most jntima’ely. It
wa9 not permitted him to converse much
during his extreme illness, only at intervals,
and then all appeared calm and patient, try
ing even in his great suffering to comfort his
sorrowing companion. Alas for her ! She
Has been called to drain the bitter cup. The
vriter of this simple tribute to departed
worth, was not permitted to see the deceased
duriDg his illness, but from letters now In
possession, from him to her dear departed
son, while in Virginia, ia fully assure that he
has obtained his rich inheritance above, aad
is with the ‘‘just made perfect” in Heaven.
Oh, how vividly is the startling fact broug -n
of right, he maintained and enforced the du
ties of his office with decision and with that
conscientiousness for which he was so great
ly distinguished,. He shunned no post where
a sense of his duty <reqaired his presence.—
Calm and self-possesse J, even upon occa
sions of extreme peril, he was alike remark
ed for perseverance and fortitude.
It was not the privilege of any of his com
pany to administer comfort to him ia his
last moments, for he lay in the enemy’s line,
but knowing that he came to his end in a
noble and just cause, wo are constrained to
believe that he bore his sufferings with that
degree of fortitude which should character
ize ad engaged in the same cause. The Con
federacy has rot lost, nor cannot lose a more
devoted and patriotic soldier.
He has left to his fellow-soldiors an exam
ple of courage, honor and courtesy, and to
his friends the legacy of a patriot’s name.
