'The monotony of toe bombardment was broken on Friday by the arrival of a party of seven deserters fri >m the rebel f»rce on Sullivan’s island.

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. Tne records of our history as a State fur nish uo page more tull ot partisan bitter ness and Hatred than me journal and speech es of the last. House ot Representatives of ©jorgia. A majority of tuat body gave full Vent to partisan prejudices and hate they had conceived andtosiered against our most excel .cut caief magistrate before the seces sion of the State. .Every intelligent citizen wed &now8 that Gov. Brown has managed the atfars of suite with consummate ability, unsurpassed fidelity and untiring uudusiry. in me practical assistance ho has afforded iVesivieut Davis in the prosecution of the War lor tue inaiutamance ot our independ ence, he has no equal. Under his guidance Georgia has responded superabundantly to H/er> requisition ot the Coniedevate Execu tive. Aud it Is worthy of remark that in t ae coduties where he is best known and p isscsses t ie greatest influence, the patri- imsji of the people is most signally dem onstrated. And vet, notwithstanding he is ixndemably an able, good, prompt, industri ous, uniiriug and laitufut officer, the no-par ty men deuouuce him most bitterly and meredeasty. Tne men wno are apparent.y h untied at “dissensiou,”strive unremitting ly to siir up “ dissension ” against him. X e mciudo tuat the old grudge against the people’s lavorite is still alive. His adversa ries uave not recovered from the hoart-burn- i u^s conceived in past party conflicts. Tbe r uiemoranco of their deteals still chafe t leiu. Tney desire to sully the civic wreaths wmch theciuzeus of Georgia have placed on him, by inducing the people to with- .1 aw tueir confidence from him at the last 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 try, either in the leniod field or at home.— The dissemination oi knowledge among the people by the press, the eoucation ot tho y rung, the vxerciseaot the pulpit, the medi- cil profession, the preparation aud produc- i on ot things for the support aud equipment o tue army are most useful, and fields in 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 refuses to reveal to his friends and neigh bors?

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 the Roman Is it not? 8. A. T.

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.

As a commanding officer,.he evinced that ability, zeal and good feeling usually in the discharge of his duties which not only met the unqualified approval, but won the affec tionate esteem of his men.

Firm in hi9 opinions L. M. H “ Jonesboro’, Ga., Aug. 29. 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. J. 8. B. Tax in Kind.
