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.

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., JOHANNES.

Bravery of our pickets—cols, ram say A- JOHNSON DANIEL BROWn’s HERO ISM AND DEATH THE ENEMy’s ARMA MENT THAT BANNER HOW THE FIGHT WAS CONDUCTED ATTEMPTS TO FLANK OUR FORCES THE FLIGHT —THE KILLED AND WOUNDED OUR GUNS GEN. JACK- SON, AC. Camp Bartow, ') Pocahontas Co., Va., 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. For the “ Southern Confederacy.” 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. BIBLE READER. 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. —Richmond Dispatch, Jliwtal Notices. c :,re authorized to announce lOMSa Rev.
