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. ♦ Our Special Army Correspondence. IN STATU QUO ARRIVAL OF THE PRESIDENT THE “EXAMINER’S” HEARTLESS ATTACK ON MR. STEPHENS FRUITS OF SECTION ALISM —O FFI C E-L OVI N G VIRGINIA A SECOND SECESSION THE REBOUND IN FAVOR OF MR. STEPHENS—THE HERALD COMTE DF. PARIS DUC DE CHARTRES OWEN LOVEJOY G ARIR A LDI CA PT AIN LOVEL GEN. WALKER. 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. PRESIDENT GONE TO RICHMOND, SOON TO RETURN GOOD RESULTS F ORW AR D MOVEMENT AT HAND CAN CLOSE THE POTOMAC—OFFICERS OF THE Bth REGI.- MENT YANKEE VANDALISM REV. MR. 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. < —♦ The Richmond papers of the 4th con tain the particulars of the accident which happened to Mra. President Davis and Mrs. Gen. Johnston, on (be day previous. They were in a carriage, together with several chil dren. The horses attached to the carriage became alarmed, tan off and overturned the vehicle, which fell down a steep and danger ous declivity, some twelve or fifteen feet.— Mrs. Davis was but slightly hurt, whilst Mrs. Johnston had her right arm fractured near the wrist, and received a severe cut on the side of the head. None of the children were hurt.— Nashville Patriot, Oct. 8. Special Correspondence of the Southern Confederacy. 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. Special Correspondence of the Confed eracy.” 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. SAM’L C. ELAM. figY* A mass Republican Convention in Massachusetts has nominated Governor An drew for re-election.
