very destitute condition, and I-lmpo the c'tt*»u»

fortablc. T. A. BAINS,

In connection with the abovo cal!, I
appeal to tho friends at home, of (he
militia now sovvitig in the ditches at the
front. In addition to the wants of ma
terial for lint and bandages to dress
wounds of the wounded soldier, articles
of nourishment arc wanted for the sick
as well as the wounded soldier. We can*
not expect a sick soldier to live on army
rations—corn bread and bacon. He
wauls nourishments suited to the appe
tite of a sick man. 1 will be pleased to
receive contributions of tomatos, okra,
red pepper, butter, eggs, onions or
shellots, snap beans, and such other ar
ticles as the ladies think fit for the sick
soldier.
Contributions can be left at the Sun
office, in Columbus, at Box Spring, or at
my residence in Chattahoochee county,
where they will be packed and sent to
the Division Hospital at Atlanta, and be
of great service in alleviating tho suffer
ings of the sick and wounded militia.
Tho contributions sent forward by the
Relief Committees do not reach tho mili
tia, but. are intended for, and are devoted
to the Confederate soldiers.
Tho contributions I am Bent forward
to ask for, are exclusively for the sick
and wounded raiUtia, and will be devoted
to them alone. Prompt action on the
part of contributors is desirable.

Fighting near Josesbobo. —We have
reports in town to tlio efleot that an en
gagement took place yesterday between
a flanking column of the onemy and a
portion of Hood’s command near Jones
boro. The following item from the Grif
fin Rebel of the 20th serves in soraeraeas
ure to corroborate this report:
Dispatehos from the front warned the
commander of this post yesterday morn,
ing, that a raid had loft tho enemy’s
liueH and crossed the West Point road.—
About ten o’clock last night a courier to
Gen. Iverson arrived here, with informa,
tion that fighting was going on about
noon yesterday, between the enemy’s
forces and Uoss’ cavalry, and calling for
reinforcements. The cavalry stationed
here were promptly dispatched to the
scene of the conflict.
At ten o’clock last night the train had
not passed Jonesboro’.
| COMMUNICATE!.]
Mr. Editor: —l fear‘Wounded Soldifcr’-
dooa injustice in his arliclo of yesterday
morning both to the city ministers and
to the ladies of (he community. I can
certify to the fact that both classes are
actively nnd continuously engaged in
their good offices. In my daily visits to
someone or other of the many wards of
the various hospitals, I find myself on
the path of ministers, who, though in
soma cases unknown to me, and likewise
to the sick and wounded from not having
anything distinctive in their dress, nnd
not upon every occasion announcing the
fact as such, are unrecognized. 1, my
self, was at Marshall Hospital visiting
three days the past week, and on the Sun
day previous held divine services there,
and I find this evening some minister on the
round, while others have kindly given
their services as chaplains, as in the cases
of Revs. Messrs. Hawks, Laneyand Robe
inson, and yet others again as they find
it in their power from their many calls
upon their time and duties. Had the
writer simply expressed his desire to see
the chaplain to the surgeon or any of tho
ward masters, he could easily have been
found ; but it is impossible to be in every
ward and with every patient at the same
moment, candour will allow.
Tracts, papers, books and Testaments
are freely distributed. I regret to say
my supply, however, is limited and every
appeal for funds to replenish my stock
thus far, almost made to the congrega
tions nnd the public in vain.

Benjamin's Circular—Fall of Fort
Morgan Fcace Talk Reports
About Texans—A Battle Expected
—Davis and Johnston —Spies Re
leased—Prices, etc.
liiciiMOND, Aug. 26, 1864.
Mr. Benjamin’s “Circular” is the
novelty of the morning. It throws
but little additional light on the Jac
quess-Gilmore interview with Pres’t
Davis, except proof (conclusive al
most) that Lincoln connived at the
whole affair. The Examiner is ex
cessively corroding in its comments,
but most of the other papers are dis
posed to give Mr. Benjamin credit
tor the thing.
Mobile papers had led us to believe
that Fort Morgan would hold out to
the last moment; its fall, therefore,
produces a shock. After the fort was
invested, the garrison became weak
kneed ; that’s the whole secret, I im
agine.
Will anything come of this talk,
North and South, about l’eace? I
think so. Much depends on our abi
lity to hold Atlanta and Petersburg.
The Yankees arc easily elated by any
little success, but on the other hand,
they are apt to run everything into
the ground. Ordinary good luck in
our military affairs will produce a
peace furore equal to the war-madness
which seized the North after the fall
of Sumter. Indeed, the Examiner
of this morning professes to have had
an interview with a gentleman, by no
means sanguine, just from the North,
who says the people there are decided
ly for peace; will not tolerate a War
Democrat or any other war man, of
whatever party. Let us hope he is
not mistaken.
The Yankee column pressing down
upon Lagrange from Holly Springs,
excites our fears. Can wc get nobo
dy across the Mississippi, and is it
true that the Texans and Arkansans
refuse to come over to help us? Per
haps the enemy will run into a horn
et’s nest ere he is aware of it.
Some people think that Gen. Lee,
taking advantage of Grant’s extended
line, will endeavor to break through
and get in his rear. Pickett com
menced feeling yesterday, and the
big battle is predicted to-day. Doubt
ful.
It is said President Davis was ex
tremely agitated the day lie relieved
Johnston; paced the floor of his of
fice, exclaiming, “If he would only
fight! only strike a blow somewhere
He is superb in battle, if he would
only fight, but he will not,” &c. Ac.
Lugo, the spy, has been discharged,
to go out of the country. McClure,
another spy, also got off scot free. —
Other criminals have fled to foreign
parts, finding no difficulty in the way
of escape, although they have been
suspected for years. Wc are getting
very lax.
Business continues quite active. —
Baeoa is scarce; beef rising; and
flour, on the strength of the seizure
of the Weldon road, has advanced
850. Miss Ida Vernon attracts dense
houses to hear the new play of “ East
Tyune.” West and Johnston have
< John Marchmont's Legacy* in press.
Ilot as blazes. Pan.
I'BOOLAMATION FROM GOV. VaSCE.—
The Governor of North has is
sued a proclamation calling the atten
tion of deserters to General Order, No.
54, from General Lee, promising to deal
leniently with all absentees who prompt
ly rotura to duty. Tho Governor warns
all deserlcrs in that State who refuse to
comply with the terms proposed by Gen-
Lee:
“That the utmost power of tho State
will be exerted to capture them or drive
them from the borders of a country
whose high honor and spotless renown
they disgrace by refusing to defend, and
that tho extremest penalties of the law
will be enforced without exception when
caught, as well as against their nidersand
abetters in the civil courts. Simultane
ously with this proclamation orders will
issue to the entire militia of the State to
turn out for their arrest, and I hope, by
timely submission, they will spare n\e
the pain of hunting down like guilty fel
ons many brave and misguided men,
who have served their country well, and
could do so again. Deserters from oth
er States who hide in our woods and
assist tho erring in giving our State a
bed name, I can do nothing for ; blit to
the erring soldiers of North Carolina I
confidently appoai. And 1 earnestly call
on all good citizens to assist me iu mn*
king this appeal effectual, both by their
exertions as militia soldiers nnd their in
fluence as men, to take pains to seek out
all deserters of their acquaintance, put
the proclamation iu their hand, or in
the hands of their relatives and friends L
and urge upon them to return to tho
path of duty, which is also the path of
safety and honor.”
Casualties in City Liam Guards—
The Enquirer takes the following in
formation from a private letter, dated
Petersburg, Aug. 23d:
On the lGrh, Dick Long was wounded
in the thigh ; Wm. Martin in hand ; Fe
lix Judkins, in heel; W. C. Vinson and
W. 11. Mims have not been seen since.—
Vinson was on picket, and Mims was un
well at the trenches. It is probably
they were captured.
Our line was approached by a ravine,
up which tho Yankees crept and moun
ted our works, and broke the line, which
had to give way. Soon we charged them
again with reinforcements, and made
them leave in a hurry. They came up
the ravine in column, by divisions,
(double companies,) but gained little by
the manoeuvre.
We had next day to march back to Pe
tersburg, and on the 21st we were in a
hard fight again on the Weldon railroad.
Sergt. Torbet had his shoulder bruised
by a spent piece of shell ; old Mr. Johns
of Cos. C, was killed.
The recent fighting and hard marching
has been severe on the battalion. Lieut.
Richardson commands the battalion,
Col. Gibson the brigade.
Tiie Remedy. —A Philadelphia paper
of a late date says:
The only way to prevent tho Demo
crats from electing tho next President,
and that is, to have President Lincoln
to declino the nomination, his successor
to bo either Gen. Grant, Sherman, But
ler or McCook. Such a nomination
would unite tho party. Nothing else
ever will. Divided as the party now is
between the friends of Lincoln, X-’remont,
Chase, Seward and Weed, the party cans
not avoid a most humiliating defeat in
November. The catastrophe can yot be
avcried, but only by the declension of
Mr. Lincoln.
From Knoxville. Columbus
Powell and Chas. McGhee have been
indicted in the Federal Court for high
treason. These gentlemen prior to
the evacuation of Tennessee by the
Confederate troops wero contractors
for army supplies. During Bragg’s
expedition into Kentucky, they ac
companied the army, and impressed
cattle, for which they paid in Confe
derate notes. Subsequently they were
arrested by the Yankee authorities,
and taken into Kentucky, where they
were compelled to pay in greenbacks
for the cattle they had driven out.
Two thousand raw beef hides, well
dried, were deserted by the enemy in the
vicinity of Atlanta, and have been brought
away by our men.

A Sketch of the Life or William L.
Brown.
The subject of this memoir is well known to many
In the county of Stewart. He. is * non of Ben)
Brown, long a cltiaen of Haiti conn y.
Win. L. Brown w*s known to be a quiet, orderly
uuattouming youtb, devoted to parents, broihein,
B.stern an l friends, displaying in all his conduct
tbo high-toned gentleman, and loved by nil who
know him.
Early in life ho became convinced of the neces
sity of repentance and faith in our Lord and .Sa
viour Jesus Christ, Fought and obtained the favor
of his Heavenly Father in the forgtveriOHS of Bins,
and as an evidence of hope aud faith in Christ pre
vented himself to the church at Shady Grove,
Stewart county, Ga., was received upon the evi
dences he gave of his change to a spiritual life,
and lived an orderly, faithful member.
While many forget their vows and depart from
the faith wo rejoice to chronicle file fact that he
wa* faithful to the last, and wai never known to
bring reproach upon his profession or the church
to which he belonged. Wtien our country become
involved in war with a formidable foe who lmd
been seeking long, the overthrow of Eonthei u in
stitutions, early in June 1861, he volunteered
far the defence of Southern rights and th'j home of
his fathers; he bid farewell to parents, brother*, sis
ters and numerous friends, aud with hU loim girt
with the implements of warfare about, he marched
forth to do battle for the dearest rights of an op
pressed people. He soon distinguished himself a
soldier of his common country, us well as being a
soldier of the cross of Christ, ever faithful to the
trust reposed in him.
It seems needless here to mention the privations
of camp life, for many who may read this article
are familiar with the difficulties of such a life, and
impossible (accurately) to describe. For throe years
did he march to thesound of martial music and over
ready to answer roll call at roc eilte and tattoo,
faregoing the privations aud snlferings peculiar to
such exposure. At the battles of Corinth, Mur
freesboro, CbickaniaugA, Missionary Kidgo, and
many othors did he dis tin gust himself for cool
ness aud bravery, and lastly at Atlunta, ou the 22d
July, through which he passed unhurt, but the
brave and good are not always secure from the
mi miles of death. « n the morning of the 2P),
while superintending as sergeant at vidette post
of shai |>-bhooters was himself pierced through the
arm and heArt by a minie ball shot from an ene
my’s gun and expired instantly. Thus the noble
arid goad are sacrificed u(ou the altar of their
country. Ah ! can man do mere than this ? Wo
can only s»y inconclusion, fjrewell for thepresent
ndbla soldier, yeace be to your dust. While we
shed the falling tear thou art listing to the music
of angels marshaled under the banner of Emauuel.
where the sound of artillery and the clash of steel
is never heard. In place of hunger you have bread
a plenty from your Father’s bountiful store. In
filace of thirst you have the waters of everlasting
ife. In p ace of wearinoss, yon ) esseew everlasting

The Battle of the Twenty Sixth.
The nows from Petersburg yesterday
rent a thrill of pleasure through our com
munity, not oniy on aScount. of the
achievement announced, but because it
gave an assurance that the Yankees wero
not to bo pevmiUed quietly to hold their
posilion on the Weldon railroad, and
that our generals aro losing no oppor
I unity to annoy and inflict and .outgo upon
them. In accordance with a plan do.
cided upon by ouv commanding general,
a sufficient forte of troops, under Gener
al A. P. Ilill, was sent around the cue
my’s left to a position in liis rear. The
movement was not discovered by the
enemy, and a point was gained about
two miles below Reams’ station and
twelve from Petersburg, whero prepara
tions \cro rnado for an attack. The
Yankees, intently watching their front,
which they had strongly fortified, seemed
to bo entirely unoonso’ous of the mis
chief brewing in their rear, and our
forces, having gained an eligible posi
lion, .made the attack about live o’clock
on Thursday afternoon. The movement
was a complete success. For two hour:,
tho battle raged fiercely, but the enemy
was finally forced back and dislodged,
with a lofts of from fifteen hundred to
two thousand prisoners, nine pieces of
artillery, twelve commissary wagons,
and a large number of killed and wound
ed. If. is reported that the Yankee Col
onol Spear, of raiding notoriety, is
among the captured. Our loss iu this
affair is not heavy, and wo learn that
our commanding general is perfectly
satisfiod with the result.
l'assengcrs by the Petersburg train
la9t. evening report that wo capt ured over
two thousand prisoners 4t was a com
plete flank movement and exccutod with
consummate skill. Tea fighting was se
vere ftft- the time it lasted, but we have
tLe reiterated assurance that, our loss is
not large, while that of the enemy is
heavy. Among the wounded aro Brig.
Gen. Anderson, of Georgia, and Major
Marshall, of Fauquier county, Virginia
—neither of them dangerously.
The fight was not renewed yesterday.
Everything was quiet when the train
left.
For two or three days past the enemy
has been shifting heavy bodies of troops
from the right around so the left of his
lines, as if iu anticipation of some move
ment on the part of the Confederate
forces; but it seems he was caught nap
ping after all. Bodies of troops have
not only boon transferred from the lines
south of tho Appomattox, but also from
Butler’s command in Chesterfield county.
On Thursday afternoon the Yankee
batteries on the river resumed their
3helling, and for about an hour threw
their destructive missiles into Peters
burg quite rapidly. Some damage was
done to private properly, but no person
al injury is reported.
Meanwhile our cavalry arc not idle
A spirited engagement took place on
Tuesday afternoon at Tillotson’slarm, on
our extreme right, about ten miles dis
tant from Petersburg. Ourpickets were
driven in at that point by tho enemy’s
cavalry, in large force, when an engage*
meut ensued, in which tho enemy was
driven back with considerable loss. It
was in this affair that Lieut Col. Robert
A. Caskic, of the 10th Virginia cavalry,
was wounded, as before reported. Ru
mors are current of a sharp cavalry en-.
g agent ent on Thursday, near Wyatt’s
farm, four miles from Petersburg, in
which the enemy was defeated with se»
rious loss. These reports lack confirms*
tion.
The train last evening brought over
fiftyi-nine prisoners, captured by Gen.
Pickett’s command, near Bermuda II tm
dred, on Thursday. There wero also
two deserters, who came in to claim Iho
privileges guaranteed iu Genera! Orders |
No. 05. The affair in which these men
were captured was the onewli'.oh we yes-1
terday located near Chester station. Its '
object was only to feel the enemy’s
strength, which was satisfactorily ac
complished, (he Yankees being found in
considerable force behind tbcii works.
Our loss was about thirty. The linos of
battle were not engaged.
It, is stated tlia the Yankee Command
ing General lias established his head*
quarters at the Yellow Tavern, six miles
from Petersburg, and about the centre
of tho fortified position on the Weldon
railroad.
FROM YORK Itivelt.
We have a report that the enemy, who
lately evacuated Gloucester Point, has
again appeared there in considerable
force. The object of ibis movement if
probably to rob tho defenceless people of
Gloucester, who have heretofore been
subjected to all manner of outrages at
the hands of the Yankees.
