The Election in Cass.
Some of the friends of Samuel Sheats, Esq.,
in Cass County, have construed our remarks
in our issue of the 10th instant, about the elec
tion of Colonel Akin, to be derogatory to Mr.
Sheats. This we regret. We cannot, for the
life of us, perceive how such a construction
can be placed upon what we said ; and we can
assure all concerned that nothing was further
from our intentions. We had not a list of the
polls, and knew not who else were candidates.
We were only informed that Col. Akin was not
a candidate, and had received nearly 200 votes
more than Mr. Sheats, who was. We regarded
it as a compliment and so spoke of it.
A friend of ours has furnished us with a list
of the candidates with the vote each one re
ceived in the county. Vv'e are glad to be able
to lay it before our readers :
Warren Akin..... ..695.
Samuel Sheats 546.
James Milner 507.
Dr. J. C. Sims 489.
This friend also informs us that Mr. Sheats,
though often and urgently solicited by many
in the county who wished to see him in the
Legislature, did not consent to allow the use
of his name until a few days before the elec
tion.
We take it for granted that the people of
Cass have elected men to represent them who
are their free, untrammeled choice—having
elected one who was not a candidate and an
other who consented to the use of his name as
such only at the eleventh hour of the canvass.

U COME AG IN CONVENTION PROCEED-
INGS —OCR BARNES.
Jfem. Editors : During the Gubernatorial
canvass T kept quiet, supposing you would
- have as much matter of a political character
as you would have room for. Now that the
storm is over, and we have Goy. Brown for
’wo years more, I resume my letters, furnish
ing your readers, at least, an occasional scrib
ble of things about Macon.
Our city is now full of strangers attending
the Commercial and Financial Convention.—
As your readers will be interested in this im
portant meeting, I submit the following ac
count of its proceedings.
The Convention assembled at 12 M., and
was temporarily organized by calling Hon. D.
Hubbard, of Ala., to the Chair, and appoint
ing H. L. Jewett and J. A. Nisbet Secretaries.
The proceedings were opened with prayer
by Rev. D. Wills, of this city.
About 4CO delegates from nine States regis
tered their names.
On motion of G. B. Lamar, of Savannah, a
Committee of one from each State was ap
pointed, who reported the following perma
tent officers :
President—A. 0. Andrews, Charleston.
T’ice Presidents-- David Hubbard, Ala; R
H Maury, Va; Dr W A Berry, N C; J D B
Deßow, La; G S Summey, Miss; J Myrick,
F a ; S Tate, Tenn ; G B Lamar, Ga.
Secretaries— J A Nisbet, H L Jewett, Ga ; T
R Eggleston, S C; D A Shepherd, Tenn ; W
8 Reynolds, Va.
Mr. Andrews, on taking his seat, delivered
a short patriotic address to the Convention.—
He c mgratulated the body on the recognition
they had just made of the favor of- God in be
ing able to meet on this important occasion;
looked upon it as a compliment to South Car
olina, which, “ though small in stature, took
the smooth stone of secession from the wallet
of State sovereignty, and hurled the Goliath
of a fast consolidating despotism, gasping and
bleeding to the dust.”
He alluded to our goodly heritage—our pre
sent struggle to preserve it and the prospects
before us.
“ Hereafter,’ said he, “we take our capital
and resources under our own management,
and we come together at this time to assist
each other with our counsels in so arranging
the practical machinery of our new business
relations as to ensure its successful and bar
muuious operation.”
It was then resolved that the Chair, during
the recess for dinner, appoint his committees
—one on Fnance and one on Commerce, to be
composed of two from each State, to whom all
resolutions and communications should be re
ferred without debate.
SO UTH ERN CONFEDEBACY
On motion of Mr. Hubbard, of Alabama, it
was
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to
invite delegatee to the Cotton Planters’Con
vention to seats in this body.
Convention then took recess until 4 o'clock
in the afternoon.
On reassembling the Convention, at 4 o'clock,
P. M., the President announced the following
committee on Commerce and Finance :
Messrs. Green, Lamar, Johnston, Battersby,
Cohen and Baylor, of Georgia ; Maury, Daven
port and Bloodgood,of Virginia; McKay, Wil
liams and Worth, of North Carolina; Tren
holm,Gourdin and Williams, of South Carolina;
Wicks, Fouke and Vernon, of Tennessee; Hub
bard and Lewis, of Alabama; My rick, of Flor
ida ; Deßow, of La., and Sumney, of Miss.
A number of resolutions and communica
tions were then read in the hearing of the
Convention and referred to the standing Com
mittee.
A memorial from the delegation from Charles
ton, upon the subject of the Confiscation Act,
was referred to the standing Committee.
The Convention then adjourned till 10 o’clock
to-morrow.
Your man Billy Barnes is here attending the
Convention, and our people are making an ef
fort to get up an entertainment in which he
will appear in full size. By the way, he is a
“lion” here—all the women and children run
after him. He is a perfect sui generis. Long
may he wave. In haste, yours, <Lc.,

Oct. 6th, 1861. J
Dear Confederacy: My communication has
been delayed two days in consequence of my
having no time from my military duties to
devote to writing. You will have no doubt
received, ere this reaches you, accounts of the
battle recently fought at this place, and the
brilliant victory achieved by Gen. Jackson's
command ; but as the particulars of the fight,
as I have heard and'witnesaed them, may be
of some interest to your many readers, I pro
pose to give them a brief account of the bat
tle. On the morning of the 3d inst., the Yan
kees, at least 5,000 strong, left their stockade
fort on Cheat Mountain, and proceeded down
the Staunton and Parkersburg road toward our
encampment. When they had arrived within
three miles of this camp, their van guard, con
sisting of about 350 men, encountered our ad
vanced posts of pickets, who, having discharg
ed their pieces several times with fearful effect
upon the Hessians, retired to the nearest post
where the whole guard on that linewas formed.
This did not comprise more than sixty men,
who were soon attacked by 350, when a brisk
fire of musketry commenced, which was kept
up some time. So bravely did our pickets
stand their ground, and so galling were the
fires poured into the ranks of the enemy’s van
guard, that they were repulsed three times,
and no doubt all the efforts of their officers to
rally them to the fourth onset would have
proved futile, had not the main column of the
enemy with artillery come up about this time
to their relief.
Col. Johnson of the 12th Georgia Regiment,
having heard of the desperate odds against
which our pickets were contending, marched
at double-quick with two companies of infan
try to their assistance. When he arrived at
the scene of action, he found that the main
body of the enemy were within a few hundred
yards of them, and that a large force were
coming up the valley to flank them on the left.
Our brave boys, nothing daunted by the vast
superiority of numbers against which they
were contending in the very face of the ene
my’s cannons then pouring grape and canister
into their midst, stood their ground like vete
rans, nor did they retire from the contest till
they had, each of them, taken about twenty
shots, with deadly aim, at their antagonists,
and then, being almost surrounded, they re
tired, firing as they went over the mountain
to camp, where they joined their respective
commands.
Never did men fight more bravely than our
pickets and those who went to their aid.—
Their deeds of daring and heroism elicited the
highest praise of their officers and the admi
ration of all their brothers-in-arms. It is due
the gallant Col. J. N. Ramsey, to state that he
was at this time the “Field Officer of the
Day,” and hence had command of the pickets;
and it is much owing to his gallant conduct
during the fight that our boys performed such
prodigies of valor. Col. Johnson of the 12th
Georgia, showed much coolness and courage
during the fray—rushing into the hottest of the
battle, he encouraged his men, and inspired
them with a spirit of noble daring which
prompted them to perform deeds of great valor
and heroism. His horse was killed from under
him during this engagement, and he himself
received a very slight wound in the thigh from
a ball that passed through his clothes, merely
cutting the skin. Several of our men were
killed and wounded in this fight. Here it was
that the gallant, the heroic Daniel Brown of
the Gate City Guards fell pierced through the
heart by a Minnie ball; not, however, till he
had, no doubt, made several of the Hessians
“bite the dust,” as he shot at least twenty
times at them at no great distance before he
was killed. "No language is sufficient to ex
press the eulogium his name merits. Most
nobly did he act—most bravely did he fight in
defence of the rights of the South, and his
name should be embalmed in the hearts of all
his countrymen.
Having driven in our pickets, the enemy
marched up boldly in our front and opened a
fire upon us with seven pieces of artillery of
different calibre, as follows: two 12 pounders,
four six-poundera, and one .rifled piece, sup
posed to he a six-pounder. These were sup
ported by a very heavy column of infantry
which, as it advanced steadily forward, un
furled to the morning breeze from its centre a
large and most beautiful flag with the old stars
and stripes emblazoned on it which they
“flaunted insolently in our front.” Approach
ing in a most beatiful line as well “dressed”
as if they had been on evening parade, within,
range of our guns our artillerists opened fire
upon them with four brass six pounders, one
eight pounder smooth bore, and one rifled
four-pounder. This tire threw them into con
fusion for awhile, but soon their ranks wore
closed up and well dressed, when they again
advanced But they had not moved forward
far before our firing became so heavy, and was
directed with such great precision as to force
them to full back. Still they kept up a con
stant cannonading, throwing bombs, conical
shot filled with deadly missiles, and canister
thick into our encampment, but al) our men in
front, except the cannoniere, being in the in
trenchmeuts we had dug, but little execution
was done with these shots.
The enemy, seeing that it would be too haz
ardous to attempt again to bring his infantry
up in front, undertook to flank us on the left.
But early in the morning, Gen. Jacksou, sus
pecting they would attempt such a movement,
had instructed Col. Rust to deploy his regi
ment, third Arkansas, in a dense wood on that
side to prevent it. Col. Taliaferro, 23d Virgi
nia regiment, was also stationed in the same
wood, but nearer the camp, in order that it
might, if necessary, assist Col. Rust’s. When
the enemy, about 1500 strong, came up to the
river along the eastern bank of which the 3d
Arkansas regiment had formed an ambuscade,
the right wing of Col. Rust’s regiment poured
such a galling fire into their midst that they
turned and fled after a sharp fight of several
minutes duratiion.
Being foiled in their attempt to flank us on
the left, the Yankees determined to try the
strength of our right flank. For this purpose
about 2,000 men were detached from their
main force, who marched around the base of a
mountain situated a little to the right of our
intrenchments and batteries to a point just
opposite the camp of the first Georgia legi
ment, where the river, making off from the
mountain, forms an angle of about 45 degrees
with its base. About -100 yards below this
pointthe 12th Georgia Regiment were deployed
along the eas’ern bank of the river, aud seven
companies of the first Georgia, had, early in
the action, been deployed in the vally just
opposite the above mentioned point and about
500 yards from it, whilst the remaining three
companies of the first regiment, under Capt.
Houser, were stationed in the vally about 300
yards above. When this movement of the
enemy was discovered, our artillery com
menced pouring showers of grape and eanis
tej into his ranks, but still he continued to
move forward till he espied .the 12th Georgia
regiment drawn up in battle order at no great
distance ready to meet him, and saw the first
regiment rush down at double quick, when he
turned and fled precipitately before they got
within gunshot of him. The cannonading had
been kept up all this time and was most ter
rifle. It now ceased, and the rout of the ene
my was complete. So hasty was his flight
that he left behind many of his dead, the num
ber killed being too numerous to carry with
him; also knapsacks, haversacks, overcoats,
jackets, blankets, oil cloths, canteens, arms,
and every thing else that tended to hinder his
rapid flight were loft on the field and strewed
along the road. Even the colors under which
they first marched up in front, and which they
had in the morning flaunted so insolently, as
if confident of an easy victory, was found
where the rout first commenced, by a member
of our regiment who presented it to Gen. Jack
son. Nearly every soldier here has some tro
phy of the victory.
Our loss is seven killed and 22 wounded,
most of whom will, no doubt, recover; that of
the enemy has been estimated at at least 150,
probably it is much greater. The battle was
chiefly an artillery fight, and in that point of
view, is second to one that was ever fought on
this continent. The cannonading commenced
at eight o’clock in the morning and was con
tinued without cessation until ten minutes
past twelve. During these four hours and tea
minutes, it has been estimated that at least
1700 shots were fired from the guns of both
parties.
Our artillerists merit the highest praise for
their gallant conduct during the whole fight
and for the skill with which they managed
their guns. We brought six pieces of artil
lery into the action, but having fired three
shots from the rifled piece, it was disabled in
consequence of a ball becoming lodged in it,
and was not used any more during the fight;
so I may say we only had five pieces to con
tend against the seven the enemy had of lar
ger calibre than ours. We had other pieces,
but these being masked, we had not opportu
nity to use them to a great advantage ; hence,
they were not fired Three of the pieces bro’t
into action were manned by the Danville Ar
tillery, Capt. Shumaker, who displayed much
courage and skill in the management of them.
Capt. Rices Eighth Star Artillery Company
had only one piece, an 8-pounder—the remain
guns constituting their battery not having
as yet arrived. Capt. Rice acted most gallant
ly—standing at his piece, and pointed and
fired it with fearful effect upon the Hessians
till a ball from one of their guns struck him
upon the loot, separating it entirely from his
leg; and then the management of the gun
devolved upon his Lieutenant, who fired it
with great precision. The other piece was
manned by Capt, Anderson’s company with
great skill. This officer is nodoubtoneamong
the most skillful and experienced artillerists
in the Confederate sei vice, and we regret that
the enemy did not afford him an opportunity
to open his masked battery upon him.
The conduct of Gen. Jackson during the
whole battle displayed much coolness and
courage, and has won for him the highest ad
miration of his whole command. He rode
over the whole field in the thickest of the
fight, encouraging his men and instructing
his officers, and by his patriotic speeches in
spiring them with a spirit that could not have
been overcome by their antagonists He dis
played great generalship in the disposition of
his forces, and the brilliant victory achieved
by them reflects much honor upon his name,
and should place it among the first of South
ern Generals. NESTOR.
P. 8. As evidence of the high appreciation
he has for the gallant conduct of the soldiers
of his command in the late battle at this
point, Gen. Jackson ordered the following to
! be read before every corps constituting this
: division of the N. W. Army ;
Camp Bartow, Green Brier River, )
N. W. A., Saturday, Oct. sth, 1861. J
I Soldiers : After a campaign, to you of pecu
liar hardness, the enemy, descending from his
mountain fastnesses, has afforded you the
long coveted opportunity of testing your effi
cacy in action. Confident in bis greater num
bers, his superior arms, and the comparative
weakness of your position, he came with his
wagon trains in anticipation of an easy vic
tory and a permanent enjoyment of its profits.
But gallantly and well have you maintained
your place in line with your brothers of the
army of N W Virginia, meeting his earliest
advance with striking exhibitions of individ
ual daring, receiving his concentrated lire for
more than four hours with the coolness of vet
erans, and then, when he supposed your spir
it to be shaken, with a calm determination,
indicating to him what bis fate would be
should he attempt to carry out farther his or
iginal design, have you repulsed his first ef
forts to charge and break through your lines.
Though you were not in force to pursue him
and to realize the full fruits of your triumph,
retreating, he left behind him the unmistak
able evidence of his rout in the bodies of bis
dead, too numerous to be carried with him, in
the abandonment of arms and accoutrements,
even to the colors which, in the morning, he
had fllaunted so insolently in your front. Sol
diers, with pride I congratulate you.
[Signed] 11. R JACKSON,
Brig. Gen. Com’d’g.

Messrs. Editors: Writers for the secular press
frequently, “to point a moral or adorn a story,”
make quotations from the Scriptures, and as
often incorrectly or bunglingly.
Perhaps no passage in the good Book is of
tener or more awfully butchered than the lat
ter clatue of the second verse of the second
chapter of Habakkuk, which we find oft re
peated in compositions written for the columns
of newspapers and in our periodical literature.
The expression “ he may read that runs” is the
form in which the attempted quotation most
generally appears, and is wrong—perfectly at
variance with the text and the true meaning
of the Prophet. The verse reads as follows ;
“And and the Lord answered me and said, Write
the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he
may run that readeth it." Those who quote this
clause hereafter should not “ read” before they
“ run” but “ run” while they “ read.” If wri
ters will quote Scripture, I insist they should
adopt the language of the Book itsely.

From the Richmond Dispatch, Oct. Sth.
Affairs in Kentucky*—The Capture, Sen
tence of Death, and Escape of Janies H.
Burn am, Esq.
From Mr. Burnam, just arrived from Ken
tucky, I have obtained the following items of
interest concerning the whereabouts and do
ings of ibe Confederate forces under the gal
tent Buck-ner.
The General makes his headquarters at
Bowling Green, and is at present, occupying
his force of some 20,000 men in clearing the
Green river country of, the Union camps,pre
paratory to an advance upon ihe Lincolnites
at Elizabethtown, which they bold with 5,000
men under the turn coat Rousseau. Buckner
has dispersed the Unionists at Glascow, made
them swim the river at. Clover port, and pull
up stakes at Hopkinsville, capturing all their
aimsand ammunition. He has taken possession
of the railroad to within a few miles of Eliza
bethtown, aud contemplates an advance at an
early day upon that place. Both parties are
fortifying themselves wherever they go. The
Confederate force is made up of three Missis
sippi regiments, seven Tennesse, and 12 of
Kentucky, with Kentuckians rallying to their
standard by whole regiments. Shortly after
their advance to Bowling Green, Gen. Buck
ner found it necessary to send dispatches to
Owensboro’, on the Ohio river. The route
lay through a hot Union district, and which
was held by Federal troops from Evansville,
Indiana.
Mr. Burnam volunteered to carry the dis
patches. He started on the 19th of Septem
ber ; on the 20th he was captured near Hart
ford by some 400 of the enemy. While they
were taking him to headqr’t’rs he excused him*
self for a moment and distroyed the dispatehes.
Arrived at, Hartford, they searched bim thor
oughly, but found nothing, and were on the
point of letting him go, when a scout came in
with his papers torn to fragments. They put
them together and deciphered the contents,
and, holding a court-martial, sentenced Mr.
Burnam to death, to be shot, next morning.—
During the night the enemy were joined by
another Federal regiment, under Col. Haw
kins, who reported that 5,000 Confederates
were on their trail. Both regiments then re
treated to Owensboro’, where Mr. Burnam
was fortunate enough to have an intervitw
with the persons to whom the dispatches were
addressed, and the objects of hisjourney were
accomplished, and locks on Green river was
blown up the next night and navigation stop
ped. He then turned his attention to his own
safety. Col. Hawkins was a relative of his,
and reprieved him for a short time; and by
means of the countersign and a Federal uni
form, kindly furnished by a friend in the en
emy’s ranks, he escaped, obtained a horse,
and struck out for Bowling Green, 175 miles
distant. On the road he met with both friends
and foes ; was re-arrested twice, and finally
got home with the assistance of Mr. Todd, a
brother-in-law of Lincoln, and brother of the
two gentleman now in the Confederate service
in Virginia. Mr. Burnam’s brother is Adju
tant of the Ist Kentucky regiment, at Fair
fax Court House.
The Federals treated him very well while
they bad him ; but they were the worst scar
ed set of men he ever saw when the report of
the advance movement of the Confederates
reached them ; they never thought of making
a stand only of retreating.
“ KENTUCKIAN.
Employed in a Good Work.
Yesterday, Vice-President Stephens visited
the Georgia Hospitals and speaks in glowing
terms of the system aud humanity with which
they are conducted. If Georgia’s favorite
son, Mr. Stephens, had done nothing else, his
devotion to this God-like work entitles him to
the admiration and gratitude of the people.—
He not only visits daily the hospitals, but the
couch of every patient, and with pencil and
paper in hand, notes the condition and wants,
and sees to it that al! is done to alleviate the
one and supply the other. Distinguished as
have been his services in other departments,
in this will be found, when history shall make
up his record, the crowning act of his fame.
