L.feut. Llewellyn A. Nelms.
We were deeply pained on receiving the in
telligence of the death of this gallant young
officer, at the Santa Rosa Island, on the morn
ing of the 9ih instant. Ke was quite a youth,
brave, generous, high-toned, and an honora
ble man. His talents were of the highest or
der, and no young man ever had brighter pros
pects before him.
He was born and brought up in Elbert coun
ty. His father, Win. B. Nelms, Esq., now re
siding near Griffin, was for many years clerk
of the Inferior Court, and of the Court of Or
dinary in that county, and was Ordinary of
that county for several years after that office
was created by the Legislature. We knew
Llewellyn when he was a boy. He studied
law under the preceptorship of Hon. Thomas
W. Thomas, while assisting his father in the
duties of his office. Some four years ,ago, he
was admitted to the Bar, after having passed
one of the most rigid and creditable examina
tions, and settled in Warrenton. He rose rap
idly to distinction in the legal profession, and
was one of the soundest jurists, ablest and most
successful advocates that any country ever
produced, of his years. The grasp of his ex
pansive mind, his eloquence, and the irresist
ible power of his logic, were themes of admir
ation by venerable Judges on the Supreme
bench of our State, as well as the bench and
bar wherever he practised. His shining intel
lect was universally remarked wherever he
was known.
Last year he took an active part in the pol
itics of the day. He was a delegate from this
State to the Charleston and Baltimore Conven
tions; and when that body sundered, he was
among the number who adhered to the regu
lar organisation and supported Douglas in the
State with great ability during the campaign.
It was a little after the meeting of the Con
vention at Charleston, that a hand-bill was
printed at Waynesboro’, Georgia, and posted
in several places in Burke county, denouncing
as Georgia traitors those delegates to the Con
vention who had opposed adoption of the plat
form on which the seceding portion of the Con
vention finally nominated Mr. Breckinridge.
This was more than the chivalrous soul of
young Nelms could pass by in silence. He
sent a friend into Burke to ferret out the au
thor of the handbill. Dr. Holmes, of Waynes
boro, upon hearing this, at once avowed the
authorship and his responsibility. A chal
lenge was at once passed and accepted, and
they icught near Savannah, with double-bar
relled shot guns, loaded with buck-shot. At
the word, Dr. Holmes fired first—the greater
portion of the load striking the body of Nelms>
whose life was saved only by the cotton wad
ding in his coat breaking the force of the shot.
He fired in return, but he was so disabled,
that his gun was not even towards his an
tagonist. For a number of weeks, his right
arm, through which a number of shot passed,
seemed to be hopelessly paralyzed ; but he
finally recovered entirely.
It gives us sincere pleaseure to record
the fact, that since that time, these two
gentlemen adjusted their differences amica
bly, and ever afterwards remained firm friends.
Georgia seceded, in opposition to the judg
ment of Mr. Nelms,Srtio did what he could to
prevent what he thought was precipitate seces
sion ; but a truer, og*nore patriotic 9oul nev
er lives Eon earth than he. No sooner had his
n&tyrtfßate taken her position than he said
she should be sustained in that position, let
the cost be what it might; and he has sealed
his pledge and his devotion to Georgia and
the South with bis own blood.
Soon after the fall of Fort Sumter, he vol
unteered for the war, in the McDuffee Rifles,
Captain E. H. Pottle, of Warren county, in
which he was elected a Lieutenant, and was
assigned with the sth Georgia regiment, of
which his company formed a part, to Pensa
cola.
A short time since, he was promoted to the
office of Adjutant in the regiment, and was
highly esteemed by Col. Jackson.
His career was short, but brilliant. The
State and the country has lost one of her
most promising young men. But his name
shall live while bis body commingles again
with its mother earth. His rare genius and
promise, and his love of country, shall be
held up as examples to generations yet un-
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
born, and fame shall take up his deeds, and,
with her silver trump, shall convey them to
the ear of Immortality.
P. S.—Since writing the above, we learn
that his body will arrive here on the West-
Point train, and be carried to Griffin for in
erment, In the morning.
—.
The Fight at Pensacola,
Which came oft’ on the morning of the 9th
instant, was a daring exploit, and the success
was as brilliant as the attack was gallant.
Some time ago the vandals came over in the
night and burned up a schooner belonging to
us—having caught our boys napping. In this
attack on them we found them napping also,
and the disgrace is wiped out.
The work must have been rapid. Bill Wil
son's New York Zjuaves were encamped on
the Island, and not within Fort Pickens. To
rout them so completely and utterly destroy
their camp—burning up everything, capturing
and carrying ofl' prisoners, arms, stores, Ac.,
and spiking the guns, before reinforcements
from the Fort could be sent, required rapid
work.
Some time the Yankees will learn that we
can fight—if they have not already.

Army of the Potomac, 1
Fairfax Court House, Oct. 1, 1861. j
There has been no change in “the situation”
since my last letter. Our picket force remains
on the line to which it was retired on the night
of the 27th ultimo. The enemy has occupied
the line of hills which we abandoned, includ
ing Munson’s, Mason’s and Upton’s hills. I
am not advised whether Gen. McClellan has
ordered these elevations to be fortified, but it
is probable he will do so at an early day, as it
is considered a blunder on bis part not to have
done it previous to our occupation of them.
President Davis arrived at Fairfax last even
ing, and is now staying at Gen. Beauregard’s
headquarters. I do not think that his visit
portends anything in regard to the movements
of the army. His health is quite feeble, and
the visit may have been undertaken for recre
ation as much as for anything else. He desired,
too, doubtless, to confer with the officers in
command, and to examine and inspect for
himself, the position and condition ofour forces.
He was received with great enthusiasm by the
troops at Fairfax, among whom as with the
whole army, he is exceedingly popular. Tho’
considerably fatigued by the trip from Rich
mond, I understand that he rode outthis morn
ing, and appeared to be quite refreshed.
The cause of the recent attack made upon
Vice President Stephens, by the Richmond
Examiner, is to be sought for in the precarious
condition of Mr. Davis’ health. It is feared
that the President may not live through his
term of office, —in which event Mr. Stephens,
as the Vice President, would succeed to the
Chief Magistracy of the Confederacy; and
hence the desire to supercede him by a man
better suited to the purposes of the authors of
the attack. It is a speculation upon the prob
abilities of the death of Mr. Davis before the
expiration of his Presidential term. The utter
groundlessness of the objections urged against
Mr. Stephens is conclusive upon this point.—
The expressed willingness to take Gen. Toombs
or Mr. Cobb, also of Georgia, does not relieve
the instigators of the attack ; for behind and
above all other objections brought against Mr.
Stephens, is one which proves that this readi
ness to accept those gentlemen is affected and
not real. I allude to the doctrine of sectional
interests and equality, under which these de
famers of the great Georgian claim, that it would
be unjust to take both the President and Vice
President from the cotton States.
Thus you see that this sectional monster,
having seven heads and ten horns, is already
beginning to shew itself in our young Confed
eracy. Already we hear of Cotton States and
Border States. There never was a more fatal
policy than that which recognises sections and
sectional interests in the same Confederacy
and under the same Government. It is ruinous
alike in States and Confederacies. We have all
seen what it led to in the United States. We
have also seen that the policy produced the
same deadly fruit in this State. Here there is
a Western Virginia and a Tide-water or East
ern Virginia—and the one is now warring
against the other with all the animosity of al
ien enemies. Nothing but the great coolness
and courage of Gen. Zollicoffer has prevented
a similar conflict in Tennessee, where there is
an East Tennessee, and a Middle and West
Tennessee. The doctrine prevailed in Ken
tucky and Missouri, and there, too, sectional
animosities have culminated in sectional war,
and brother now clamors for the blood of broth
er.
There was a considerable party opposed to the
accession of the so-called border States, on ac
count of the dissimilarity between them and
the more Southern States, and the inordinate
love of office among the Virginians. The course
pursued by the Examiner and its coadjutors,
is not calculated to reduce the numbers of that
party. On the contrary, if persevered in, is
more likely to operate unfavorably upon the
destinies of dowa-tredden Maryland. If we
are to have geographical parties—if the new
Confederacy is to be divided into Cotton States
and Border States—or, in plain English, into
Northern States and Southern States—and our
rulers are to be selected and our Government
administered with a view to the imaginary lo
cal interests of particular geographical divis
ions, in contradistinction to the welfare of the
whole country, then the sooner we know it the
better, and the sooner a second secession takes
place the better. The moment we admit that
there are different interests in the Confederacy
which call for partial and sectional treatment,
that moment we sow the seeds of our own dis
solution.
But.l have wandered from the subject. The
attack upon Mr. Stephens has been followed
by a terrible rebound. From every State and
locality a voice of rebuke has been beard
clearly showing, what his friends in Georgia
already well knew, that no man in all the
land enjoyed in a greater degree the confi
dence and affecti m of the whole people.
I haye just seen the New York Herald of the
25th September. It is really amusing to read
some of its lucubrations. But let that pass.—
I learn from its veracious columns, that the
Comte de Paris and the Due de Chartres, of
France, have received appointments upon Gen.
McClellan's staff; and that the beastly aboli■
tionist, Owen Lovejoy, of Illinois, occupies a
prominent position upon the staff of General
Fremont.
According tn the same paper, Garibaldi has
written to his friends in New York, that “ he
expects an outbreak in Hungary before long,
which may involve seriously Italia*indepen
dence; an i that he cannot therefore leave Eu
rope at the present time, to accept a commis
sion in the Ameiiean army, however he might
desire to do it.” I do not believe tbatGaribaldi
has written any such letter.
The Herald states further, that Gen. McClel
lan has issued a call for fifty volunteers from
every regiment in the army, to enter the regu
lar service for the protection o f the forts and
entrenchments around Washington.
Capt. Mansfield Lovel of New York, has ar
rived at Fairfax byway of Louisville and
Richmond. I hear that the President has ten
dered him the appointment of Maj -General,
Gen. Walker has not returned from his ex
pedition up the Potomac, and nothing has been
heard from him except the reports of bis can
non Sunday noon. A.

LIPSCOMB —PREPARATIONS.
Army of the Potomac, )
Near Fairfax, Oct. 5,1861. J
President Davis has returned to Richmond.
You will be glad to hear that his health was
so much improved by the trip, that he has de
termined to pay us another visit some teu or
twelve days hence, and possibly sooner. While
here be reviewed the Brigades of Gens. Walk
er, Longstreet, Cocke, and D. R. Jones, the
New Orleans Battalion of Washington Artil
lery, and Latham’s battery, and the Calhoun
battery. It was a fine display, and passed ofl’
to the satisfaction of the President.
The visit of the President, was timely and
beneficial. It has infused fresh life into the
volunteers, and inspired them with renewed
hope that they will not be compelled to remain
much longer idle in the very face of the ene
my.
But I have this moment heard, that we will
probably move forward in the next twelve or
eighteen hours - probably sooner. You will
excuse me, then, if I send you a short letter
to-day. I have not inquired in what direction
we are expected to go. It is enough that we
shall not be left to pine and languish in a state
of inaction, while the enemy insolently fl suts
his flag in our faces.
It will not be improper to say, since the en
emy will be aware of the fact soon, that we
are in a position to close the Potomac any mo
ment. Indeed, the order need but be given,
and we can close and cut off a section of the
river 15 miles in length. A report has reach
ed us, that the United States steamer Penguin
was sunk in the river two days ago, near ,
by a single shot.
I see that considerable interest is felt in
Georgia in regard to the Bth regiment. With
a view to the correction of some of the errors
which have got afloat concerning it, I called
on Gen. Samuel Jones this morning, of whose
Brigade it constitutes a part, and inquired of
him in regard to the field officers of the regi
ment. He informed me that Lieut. Col. Gard
ner, who is still confined to his bed by the
wounds received at Manassas, had succeeded
to the command of the regiment by regular
promotion, and that Maj. Cooper had succeed
ed to the Lieut. Colonelcy. Capt. J. F. Coop
er, oi the Floyd county Infantry, was appoint
ed Maj<r to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
promotion of Maj. T. L. Cooper; but he died
of his wounds before the commission reached
him. I understand that the office will not be
allowed to remain vacant long, and it is thought
a commission will be issued to the senior Cap
tain in the Regiment in a few days. As the
regiment tendered its services directly to the
President, and the officers received their com
missions from him, the law requires that he
should fill the vacancy. The rule is different
where the regiment is tendered through the
Governor. In that case the regiment electsits
own field officers, and the Governor commis
sions them.
I referred, in one of my last letters, to the
depredations committed by the Yankees in the
vicinity of Munson’s and Mason’s Hills, upon
our recent abandonment of those positions
The Washington Star, which is before me, ad
mits that “several dwellings, with barns and
outhouses, were set on fire, and wholly con
sumed. Amongst these was the house of the
Rev. Mr. Lipscomb. Valuable furniture, pi
anos, large mirrors, feather beds, Ac., were de
stroyed wantonly, and, in one instance, the of
ficer of a cavalry regiment was so much in
censed by these outrageous acts of vandalism,
that be compelled the miscreants to suspend
their villainous work at the point of the pis
tol.” Such is the testimony of one of the en
emy’s own organs. The regiment that took
the lead in these disgraceful outrages was the
New York Thirty-Seventh. The Star adds
that the Lieut. Colonel found it necessary to
shoot one of the privates (Wm. Moran) for in
subordination. The Rev. Mr. Lipscomb men
tioned above is the father of the present Pres
ident of Franklin College at Athens.
Our sick have been ordered to Manassas, and
all extra baggage takes the same direction.
But I must close. A.

MEASLES TWICE REGIMENT FALLING BACK
EXCITING RUMORS EFFECT ON THE
SICK VICTIMIZED RELAPSED, AC.
Camp Pine Creek, 5 o’clock, P. M., 1
September 28th, 1861. J
Messrs. Editors: When I wrote you last, I
stated that measles had gone through the 15th
Ga. Regiment; but I had scarcely finished my
letter when the eruption began to make its
appearance on me. Since that time I have
been confined to my tent, and now am on my
cot while I write, though very much improv
ed My own and a score of other cases in this
camp tally establishes the fact that some per
sons may have measles twice. Some will at
tempt to account for this by asserting that.
“ there is more than one sort of measles;” but
this idea of a variety of measles is as errone
ous as the popular notion that the name of
the disease is in the plural number.
Yesterday morning, according to expecta
tion, our Regiment (the 15th) marched to Falls
Church. The day was about as disagreeable
as an ordinary equinoctial storm could make
it. While there, sometime in the night, which
was cold and windy, orders were given for a
right-about march of some three miles. This
was done on account of a report that the ene
my had driven in our pickets on the left, and
crossed the lines in strong force with the ap
parent intention of cutting off a portion of
our army by a flank movement. During the
night and morning large numbers of our men
fell back as far as Fairfax and are now pre
paring to give battle to the advancing enemy.
Long since we had matured a plan for the
next battle, (!) and a portion of the program
me is for our forces to retreat (till we could
draw the Yankees out) through the site of our
present camp; but those of us now sick ex
pected to be well when the fight should come,
and we expected also to have had all the sick
removed ; but here we are in a helpless con
dition. We now hope the Generals will not
adopt the plan we had fixed up for them.
I am informed that this news is having a
remarkable effect on the sick of our little
camp. Some cases of rheumatism have made
remarkable improvement—so much, that
“walking sticks” are no longer needed. A re
cent ease of measles has also improved rapid
ly—the stage between the disappearance of
the eruption and desquamation has almost
been gone through with to-day. In fact, a
general improvement is said to be observable
throughout the camp—most of us feel able to
retreat, but there are very few who are wil
ling to go down to Fairfax to join our compa
nies and retreat in regular order.
Sus day MoRiNINg, Sept. 29 th.
Since writing the above, I am informed (“re
liably,” of course,) that our regiment seemed
to have been ordered to fall back a few miles
without any apparent reason, and that the
great retreat to Fairfax might have been the
relieved pickets returning to camps. The
large force of Yankees who were reported as
following up our troops, are now said to have
verified the adage, that the “ wicked flee when
no man pnrsueth,” by making a precipitate
rush towards the Potomac
This morning al is quiet and monotonous
in camp. The cases which were convalescing
so rapidly yesterday, are all relapsed; but
this would not surprise any one who could re
alize how cold the past night has been and
how poorly we were prepared for it.
Now that the farce is over, I would not send
you this letter, but it will serve to show you
to what extent a man in camps may be delu
ded, when he is confined to his tent and knows
nothing except camp news.
I shall not attempt to write you war news
again until I am able to get out and see for
myself. ELBERT.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE FIGHT AT
CHEAT MOUNTIAN.
Ricmond Va., Oct. 6th, 1861.
On the 3d instant a battle took place be
tween the forces under Gen. Jackson on our
side, and Gen. Reynolds on the Yankee side.
Reynolds’ force could not vary far from eight
thousand. Jackson’s did not exceed two
thousand. The Yankees, poor demented souls,
took up the silly conceit that by mere force of
numbers they could over run our little band
of genuine rebels, and so came thundering
down the hill upon them. They were gal
lantly met, and driven back in confusion with
a loss of seven killed on our side, and twelve
wounded. The enemy must have lost between
fifty and one hundred and fifty. They left
two of their dead on the field, and an arm of
the third man. They had two ambulances
carrying off the dead and wounded during the
whole engagement which lasted five hours.—
Five of our killed were pickets and two were
artillery men. The number killed and wound
ed of the Yankees is guessed at from the bu
sy movements of the ambulances. The vic
tory was not followed up because it could not
be over the rough ground and against such
great odds. lam sorry I cannot give you a
list of the names of our killed and wounded.
It will gratify your readers about Americus to
know that none of the Twelfth regiment was
hurt. That regiment was fired upon without
effect, but they did not return the fire, the
enemy being out es iange. My informant.
Dr. Smead, formerly of TalboUon was an eye
witness to the facts herein communicated.—
He participated in the fight, a.id went over
the battle ground in an hour after it was over.
The account I give is, therefore, reliable.
Respectfully.
