ATLANTA, GEORGIA:
SUNDAY, AUGUST, 18,1861.
A Fast Young Man.
Our old friend “ Brutus,” the Richmond cor
respondent of the Columbus “Times,” in a
communication dated August sth, says there
is right smart complaint among a few Georgia
Regiments against Gov. Brown, because he re
fuses to arm such Regiments as will not accept
commissions from him.
“ Brutus ” says he has “ not been able to get
at the bottom of these complaints,” but learns
that such complaints do exist, and that “ Col.
Gartrell’s regiment was forced to accept State
commissions in this way, under the alterna
tive of coming to Richmond unarmed.”
Et tu Brute? Where have you been ? We
had almost forgotten the whole of this matter
in these quarters ; and especially was it rusty
as an old nail in the way of news.
We should think it is considered a matter of
but little importance outside of our State, as it
has required nearly three months to get to
Richmond, and come to the ears of an old
time friend, whom we know to be active and
untiring in hunting news, and, even now, is
only partially known to him. Well, the world
does move.
Cases Decided by the Supreme Court now
in Session in Atlanta.
Daniel R. McCurdy plaintiff in error, vs. Wm.
Terry, Assumsit; From Forsyth Superior
Court. Judgment affirmed. H. P. Bell and
Glenn for plaintiff in error—Lester & Les
ter, and Jas. P. Simmons for defendant in
error.
Geo. W. Stancel, Executor, &c., plaintiff in
error, vs. Micheel J. Kenan and others de
fendants in error. Caveat from Whitfield
Superior Court. Ordered that;
“The Judgment of the Court below, refus
ing to set aside the verdict of the Jury and
order a new trial, be reversed, on the ground
that the verdict is strongly and decidedly a
gainst the weight of evidence in the case, and
it is further ordered and adjudged that said
verdict bo set aside and a new trial had.”
Kenan, Akin and Jackson for plaintiffs in
error—Cook, Dabney and Dougherty for de
fendants.

A Negro’s Letter. •
We have been furnished with the following
letter written by a negro belonging to Col. J.
L. Calhoun, and addressed to bis young mis
tress—the daughter of the Colonel—at New
nan. The negro went to the war along with
his young master who is a member of the New
nan Guards.
This is a specimen of the down-trodden Af
rican for whom the Yankees sympathise so
much.
The reader will be careful to observe the
official standing and position of the darkey,
and his censure on the officers in the retreat
from Laurel Hill.
We will add that the letter is here inserted
exactly as the negro wrote it, without any al
terations or corrections. It is written at Camp
McDowell, Virginia.
Camp at McDowels.
Young Miss After my best Respects I drop
you a few lines, and would of done so before
now, but 1 lost your Letter while we war on
the retreat, You must give my respects to all
Misses Kate & Euguene and also Aunt Lucy
& Mary, I wish to know of Uncle Willace
Berry how my Little Girl is getting on, lam
not well this morning but think 1 will be
well in a day or two as I feel better this mor
ning than 1 have in a day or too —
I wish you would drop a few Lines to Mar
ter & and Let him know that we have lost all
of our clothing & so on
Remember me to Uncle Kato & tell him to
give my respects to all of my inquiring Frien
ds in Neunan.
Tell Brother Simmon that I send him a
book, witch I think will be of a great deal of
importance to him, let me know how his fam
ily is all getting on tell him to please write me
word—
If my health still improves 1 shall want to
remain in the Army, but if it does not I shall
return home soon—Tell Brother to remember
me in his Prares—l hope you will excuse a
short letter this time for the coach leavs in a
few moments
It is by the Providence of God that we are
saved, not by the good general ship of our
officers, so with my best respecs I say good
bve hoping you will write again soon.

Typhoid Fever in the Army.
Mkssrs. Editors : Every day we hear sad
tidings of death among our gallant boys in
the army, from that scourge, Typhoid Fever.
A gentlemam of the medical profession, now
• in this city, a citixen of Texas, expresses his
surprise that the potent remedy of of
Turpentine has made so little progress in the
country for the cure of this ailment. My
friend Dr. R., a man of splendid professional
ability, says that if any remedy can ever be
called a specific, Spirits of Turpentine may be
so considered in cases of Typhoid Fever.
He begins with small doses of about ten
drops every two hours, and continues the
remedy in larger doses, giving aa high as a
tea«poonful at a dose, till the right action is
seen on the skin. Spirits of Nitre may be
needed to relieve the strangury apt to follow
the administration of turpentine, but nothing
further is ever needed.
Please publish this and send a number of
your paper to our friend Dr. Alexander, hop
iog that good may come of it. H.

Aug. 9th, 1861. J
Dear Confederacy: About the first of August
twenty-eight of us left Newnan for the seat of
war. At Palmetto we were joined by seven
more, all eager to speed us to the post of dan
ger and of glory. At every way 7 station the
ladies greeted us with open bands and hearts.
Indeed, so cheering was the hearty welcome
which we received all along, that no disposi
tion was manifested by any one of our re
cruits to give way to sad thoughts of “home,
sweet home."
Our lasting gratitude is due to the kind la
dies of Augusta, who, upon a very short no
tice, provided us with a nice, warm breakfast.
In truth, I am inclined to believe that Geor
gia ladies have the bravest, freest hearts in
the world. Just here I would make a sugges
tion to the kind friends of Southern soldiers :
They suffer more for want of water than any
thing else. Let fresh water be at every depot
to await the arrival of each train. For many
long hours we suffered the agonies of thirst,
until the long, loud, hoarse cries of “Water!
water !” were enough to move any heart.
There was an incident connected with our
trip worthy of mention. After a long sojourn
in Wateree Swamp, where our train took fire,
we arrived about two hours behind time at
Sumter, South Carolina. The young ladies ran
out with buckets and cups, supplied us with
water, filled our canteens, and gave us cheer
ful words and lovely flowers. One young la
dy presented a beautiful boquet, accompany
ing it with the following original stanzas :
“ Take this boquet; it comes from one
Who bids you speedily go on ;
Your Country calls, you must obey,
Until the South has gained the day.
“May the God of Battles protect you all,
Whilst you obey your Country’s call ;
In Him alone put all your trust,
And conquer then, you surely must.”
Truly, Miss E. A. Barkly is a patriotic
daughter of the South. Some of our boys say
they expect to stop at Sumter as they return.
But there are so many pleasant episodes con
nected with our journey, that I cannot tell all
of them.
After various detentions, we arrived in the
Southern Capital. On Sunday morning left
there for this place, and Monday evening
pitched our tents in Camp Bartow with the
Seventh Regiment Georgia Volunteers.
We found our regiment about half sick, and
others complaining; but they are improving
some. We have a neat encampment and a
numerous host. One hundred and sixty thou
sand soldiers draw rations at Manassas Junc
tion. The tents whiten every hill top, and
soldiers drink at every spring. The soldiers
are generally cheerful, and anxious to end the
war upon the battle-field. They are confident
of victory, and only ask to be led to the ene
my. Some are wicked and reckless, but the
most of them trust in God, and recognize His
hand in every movement. The hymn of
praise and voice of prayer are no uncommon
sounds in the camp. While such men com
pose our army we can never be overcome
I have been here but a very short time, but
long enough to find out that our men cannot
come too fast, but they should prepare before
they come. The conveniences of life cannot
be bad here for love or money. The North
ern army is well provided with everything.
But I may weary the patience of your read
ers. J. B. 11.

Arrest of Geo. W. Bridges.
It was rumored in the city yesterday, upon
apparently reliable data, that Geo. W. Bridges
had been srrested near the Kentucky line, by
i the party that went in pursuit of him. Bridges
was «t route for Washington, claiming to be
a member of the Lincoln Congress from Ten
nessee. IVe sincerely trust that the rumor is
correct.— Nashville American, Aug. 18. I
From the Knoxville Register of August 13th.
“ The Ball Opened in East Tennessee.”
For some time it has been known that Capt.
Thornburg, of Union county, a strong Lincoln
ite, has been organizing a military company
for the avowed purpose of aiding in the sub
jugation of the South The arrangement be
ing complete, on Friday last, they took up the
line of march for Kentucky, to unite with the
Lincoln forces, there being organized and to
return to their own native section, to re-enact
upon the soil of East Tennessee the damnable
deeds that has marked their course in Missou
ri, Virginia and Maryland.
Fortunately, however, a retort of their
movement reached the ears of Lieut. Col. F.
M. Walker, in command at Cumberland Gap.
Forthwith he dispatched the gallant Capt. H.
M. Ashby, with a portion of the cavalry un
der his command, to intercept the passage
and it possible arrest the ringleader. They
came in contact with Capt. Thornburg and
his traitor band of eighty men, near Roger’s
Gap, in Scott county. They were armed with
John Brown pikes, and pistols, bowie knives
and some few rifles A surrender was deman
ded. It was refused, and a charge was made
upon them, which put the whole party to flight.
Several shots were fired, one of which took
effect in the neck of Capt. Thornburg, check
ed his locomotion and forced him to surren
der. Some seven or eight others were cap
tured, besides 14 horses. 27 pikes, several
large knives, pistols, rifles, satchels, saddles.
In fact it was miniature Manassas affair.
Lieut. Gibbs was the hero of the battle.—
Capt. Thornburg had a valuable horse, which
Lieut. Gibbs was anxious to purchase when
he entered the Confederate service. 'Thorn
bug asked S4OO for him, but refused to let
Gibbs have him at any price. The Lieuten
ant told him he would yet have the pleasure
of riding him. That whenever Thornburg
attempted to cross the Cumberland Mountain,
on his hellish mission, he would capture him,
and take his horse.
What he told him in the jest has been real
ized. Lieut. Gibbs made a gallant charge up
on the Captain, took him prisoner, and now
parades on his fine horse.
This is but the beginning in East Tennes
see, and unless better counsels prevail, no
man can tell the end. This man Thornbug,
is represented as one of the leading rebellious
spirits of this section. He was found in arms
against the Government to which be owes alle
giance. Has committed treason against the
State and Confederate Government, and the
full penaLy of his crime should be visited up
on him. There is no excuse or justification
for his acts. Towards his deluded followers
we have different feelings. They “ know not
what they do.” They have been misled and de
ceived, and are the victims of misplaced con
fidence The truth has been a sealed book to
them, and their minds poisoned with false re
presentations.

The Knoxville Whig.
Theßichtn’ond Enquirer of the 13th instant,
says:
W. G. Brownlow, editor of the Knoxville
“ Whig,” announces in his issue of the 10th,
that his paper would probably not be issued
again, owing, among other reasons, to the fol
lowing :
* * In addition to all this, the fact has
come to our knowledge, and from different
and reliable sources, that the Confederate
authorities at Richmond have ordered that our
Knoxville “ Whig” must no longer be
published, or transmitted through the
mails to subscribers. The order yet
been given, but we are in daily expectation
of it, unless it be reconsidered, aud it of
course closes us out of business.
* * The only Union paper in the entire
Southern Confederacy, having any circula
tion among the honest people, must be crush
ed out by the liberty-loving and tyrant-hating
authorities of the Southern Confederacy at
Richmond!
From whatever source the “ Whig ” receiv
ed the above information, it has been deceiv
ed and misled. Our Postmaster General has,
indeed, been appealed to. in reference to the
circulation of that paper. Many have repre
sented that it was a journal which habitually
inculcated bitter animosity and actual war
against the people’s own chosen Government,
and rebellion against the will of the people of
Tennessee, as expressed in overwhelming ma
jority of the popular vote ; and theyjiave ask
ed that the public mails should not be allow
ed to give circulation to teachings essentially
and unqualifiedly treasonable. To these the
Department has replied by referring the com
plainants to their own respective State laws
and State authorities, as affording both appro
priate and adequate relief and protection from
the alleged grievances.
On the other hand, he has been requested,
specially* to command the deliveiy of the Knox
ville “ Whig ”to its subscribers. This inter
vention between that paper and the Commun
ities and authorities who have deemed it due
to the public peace and safety to forbid its
circulation among them, he has also declined.
He has left the question to the laws and the
people of the States interested, as its proper
arbiters, and as fully competent to judge both
what it due to private rights and to the pub
lie good.

Ji dgk Waynkofths U. S. Supkkme Court.
—Wide as has been the demoralizing influence
of secession among the officers ot the Nation
al Government, in all its departments, who
happened to be born, or whose residence was
in the Southern States, and dishonorable as
has been the desertion of the National flag by
vast numbers of them, it « a pieawnt thing
to know that there are those who are true to
the Union, who remain faithful among the
faithless, though natives and residents of the
rebel States. Os such. Judge Wayne, of the
Supreme Court of the United States, is a wor
thy example. His fidelity to the Constitution,
the firmness of bis adherence to its sanctions,
the genuineness of his patriotism, though sur
rounded on all sides by traitors, are worthy of
all commendation. Though a native and a
citixen of Georgia, he has escaped the mania
of secession, so sweeping and almost univer
sal in that State, never wavering in his alle
giance to the Government, nor yielding for a
moment to the terrorism that prevails there.
Among the Southern Judges of the National
Courts, we believe that he alone has not drift
ed awav from honor and official duty into the
treason of secession- He is in Washington,
prepared for the discharge of his judicial
trusts, regarding himself aa a citixen of the
United States, and ready to defend and up
hold the authority of the National Govern
ment, though his State is among the foremost
in the rebellion that would overthrow it.—
