An Incident of the War.
From the Valdosta, Ga., Times.
Doles' brigade left the battlefield at [
Chancellorsville late in the afternoon
on May 6th. 1863, in a drenching rain. !
About dark the corduroy, or pole :
road, was reached, and it was found 1
to be in a wretched condition. The
poles had been broken and torn up, j
so that every few steps one would bog j
up to his knees, aud sometimes even
to the hips. Frequently a soldier
would have to be heljied out by his
comrades, being utterly unable to ex
tricate himself. It was not long be
fore the brigade was completely dis
banded. The men could be found iu
squads of from two to a dozen, tramp
ing alongthe best they could. Some
eight or fen of tbe Twelth Georgia
regiment kept pretty well together,
and found near Hamilton's crossing
"Mr. Gordon's pot and spider wag
ons." which the cooking detail had
evidently just left. The Hies were
still burning, and the cooking utensils
with some provisions, were promiscu
ously scattered all around. The men
at oiiee set to work to prepare some
thing to eat. Having captured a good
supply of coffee on,the battle field, a
c.'unf) kettle full of that excellent bev
erage was very soon ready for the
stragglers. Just about this time a
parry of horsemen rode up, but on the
opposite side of a high hedge fence,
and hailed. The men at the fire
thinking they were accosted by the
band of stra’ggling cavalrymen" did
hot reply in language most polite.
The following is only a sample of the
dialogue that ensued: “What are you
doing over there?'’ “None of "your
il—d business." “What brigade do
‘Doles’.'’ Where is
"Scattered from
■ besides a great deal
more that fs now forgotten. The
party on horseback not getting any
information, rode off, and soon find
ing an opening in the sedge fence
crossed over and rode .up to the fire,
when it was discovered that the
straggling cavalrymen were General
D61es and liis staff. Every man at
the fire rose to his feet and commenc
ed to apologize. Our friend, Jim A.,
down on Mud swamp, was especially
and particularly profuse with apolo
gies. He hastily prepared a cup of
coffee which the general thankfully
accepted and after chatting u little
while rode off, pleasantly remarking:
“Boys we are going hack to our old
winter quarters. (Jet in as soon hs
you can.”

Ghostly Visits.
There is an old house standing a-
bout a mile from High Shoals factory,
in Walton county, now uninhabited,
and fast going into decay, that bears
a very uncanny reputation in the
neighborhood. In fact the most in
telligent people in that section look
upon it with horror, and no amount
of money could induce one to sleep in
the house over night. Travelers after
dark will go out of their way rather
than pass the premises, while among
the negToes the excitement almost a-
mounts to a panic. The last occu
pant of this house was an old man:
who died some time since, for he a-
lone would consent to brave the spir
its and sleep under the same roof with
them. For years this house has
"horne the reputation of being haunt
ed. and in the still hours of night
hundreds of reliable witnesses attest
that they have been aroused from
quiet slumber by the strangest and
most unearthly sounds. In one room
a mother can" be heard rocking her
baby to sleep and singing a low, sad
lullaby; doors are suddenly thrown o-
peu, .patrons are heard walking up
nnd down the stairs, etc. Bui noth'
ing nhnatural has ever been seen, and
when the haunted rooms are invaded
with lights the most death-like still
ness prevails. A few years since a
prominent minister spent the night
at this house and ridiculed the idea
of ghosts. But the next morning he
appeared pale and haggard, and stat
ed that he would not sleep another
night beneath the rogf for all the gold
in the universe. Families have rnov-
en in one day and out the next, while
visitors have left the house in the
dead hours of night, being driven off
through fear by the strange sounds
heard. —Athens Banner-Watchman.

Both sides are organizing for the
hottest sort of a contest on the pro

Crimes, murders, hangings and cas-
ulties are .constantly occurring. We
don't pretend to keep the run of them
in so large a country as the United
States.
The President lias given notice
through the papers that he will here
after decline to see persons seeking
official station or their advocates. No
one ought to object to this. Applica
tions must be made to the appropri
ate Departments. Indeed the selec
tions are invariably made by the
heads of those departments, and Mr.
Cleveland is governed by their recom-
mendjfetions. He has been overwhelm
ed by personal solicitations for places,
and the greater part of his time has
been taken up by applicants, so much
so, as in a great degree to prevent his
giving as lull attention to business as
he desired. Democrats most remem
ber, that, for eight or nine months iu
his.good nature anil kindness he lis
tened to them all when it lias imposed
on him the necessity of working much
harder in short spaces of time.' Mr.
Cleveland lias shown himself to be a

FAITH CU KE CON VENTION.
Buffalo, N. Y.„ October 20.—The
speakers this morning, at the Faith
Cure Convention, now in session here,
wexe l)r. Mrs. Schwartz, of-Wilson, N-
Y.; Mrs. Osborn, of Niagara Falls,
and Rev. Mr. Baxter, of England.
The attendance was large. The ex
ercises close to-night. The Interest
ing feature of the convention was the
annointing with oil of seventy-five
persons who came here to be cured
of various maladies. They tvere
told .they would be cured by their
faith in Christ as the healer of both
body and soul.
We are are skeptical about this doc
trine of faith cure, but sometimes peo
ple get worse from despondency. A
great deal depends upon the state of
the mind, and perhaps some having
faith are cheered in mind, and get
well. We would think more of the
faith cure if a person far gone in con
sumption or from an* eatigg-cancer
cured by faith; then the doctrine will
have much more plausibility. We
would be glad to know that there is
much truth in it. We have no desire
to decry it ami liav.e no doubt it may
do much good in the way suggested
by us. It is certainly sustained by
some scriptual texts.
The Planet Jupiter.
Of ail the planets, which in our
solar svstem revolve around the sun,
Jnpiter is the largest, being various
ly estimated by astronomers to bo
from 12ik) to 1350 times as large as
the Earth. Its mean distance is 400
millions of miles from the sun. Can
it bo possible that astronomers are
correct in saying that it receives on
ly one twenty-fifth of the light and
heat from the sun that is thrown up
on our Earth. All its revolutions
and movements are caused by tho
action of the sun upon it. It is incon
ceivable that one twenty-fifth of the
sun’s light upon the Earth could ac
complish in Jupiter its revolution
upon its axis in ten hours, when
twenty-five times as much is requir
ed to accomplish the Earth’s revolu
tion upon its axis in 24 hours,_ Jul>i-
tor baioflr, at tho lowest estimate.
1200 times large as the Earth.
Again, the Earth is so small that it
is doubtful if its light can be seen by
the inhabitants of Jupiter at all.
Again Jupiter has four moons, all of
which the writer has inspected with
telescopic aid; one of its satellites
about four times as large as our
moon, another, about tho same size
as tho Earth’s moon, and the
other two somewhat smaller. If
Jupiter receives only a 25tli part
of the light and heat of the sun, that
the Earth receives, it would bo diffi
cult to conceive of its extraordinary
brilliancy as seen by t he unassisted
eye at a distance of 400,000,000 of
miles. It may be that Jupiter has
a light of its own, in struggling to act
the part of a sun to it3 four moons;
but how it should have that is an un
sol vable mystery. The moons or Ju
piter, afe large worlds of themselves
receiving light directlvfrom the sun,
and the mingling of this light with
that of the immense planets, may
cause that brilliancy of the planet
which exceeds all but that of Venus
which with the exception of the lit
tle planet, Mercury, is the nearest to
the great solar king. We notice this
matter from having recently seen a
brief article in a newspaper, evident
ly written by one who is interested iu
the beautiful and wohderful science
of Astronomy. Many imagine that
this earth, upon which we live, is the
only world, when the universe is as
boundless ns -God’s power. Every
fixed star, whicli we see in the heav
ens is a sim with ite satellites like
ours. This earth is but a little grain
in God’s illimitable universe. Could
one travel with the speed of light
ning forever, north, south, east or
west, he would never reach tho limit
of God’s creation. Worlds upon worlds
roll out in endless space.
Ancient Genius and Poetry.
It is questionable whether the Mod
erns have equalled tin* Ancients as
historiansaml poets, but we do not
intend to discuss that question. In
tile war between the Spartans and
Messenians, the Oracle promised vic
tory to the former if they would ob
tain a General from Athens. The
Athenians, it is supposed, in derision,
sent them Tyrtaeus. -He was a small
man, blind in one eye and lame. He
so animated the iSiairtans by bis spir
ited war strains ami lii.- judicious ad
vice. that tile Messenians were reduc
ed to subjection. Th" Spartans treat
ed him with great respi rt. and among
other honors conferred upon him,
granted him the rights of citizenship.
His war poems »vere4rvsuch high re
pute that Horace joins Inin with the
great Homer in that de]>artment.
Besides his poems he composed a
valuable work entitled '.'Moral l’re
cepts,.’ and among some others, a
work much admired. “On the policy
of the Lacedaemonians." The Eng
lish poet, Campbell, in one of his lect
urer on Boetrv. which we have, recited
the following: He said: “I submit a
translation of one of the elegies of
Tyrtaeus. though I am conscious how
faintly it represents the line spirit of
the original in Greek. It is the elegy
generafiy placed first, in the publica
tion of his fragments."
THE ELEGY.

Washington Letter,
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Nov. 2, 1881.
The head of the Nation and part of
his official household have gone to
their New York homes to vote. The
Ninth Ward of Buffalo is the spot
j where the President will east his vote
for tho Democratic State ticket. Pri
vate Secretary Lamont will vote in
Cortland county. The Secretary of
the Treasury will vote in Albany’and
Secretary Whitney in Now York city.
They will return to Washington on
Wednesday and the Cabinet meeting
will be held as usual on Thursday.
Mr. Cleveland-had many requests to
linger awhile in New York liefore or
after the election, but lie planned this
voting trip so as not to neglect public
business any longer than was necessa
ry.
When he returns, lie will begin work
on his message.to Congress, the first
message from a Democratic President
since 1860, and a message which the
whole civilized world will await with
interest. More than for any other
reason the President issued the order
excluding himself from office seekers
for the purpose of giving himself time
to prepare this message. He does not
expect to -deny himself to {Senators
anti Representatives while Congress
is in session and he hopes by this
month of seclusion also to get * ready
for his winter's work with them. The
chief object of Senators anti Members
in going to the White House is to
seek patronage, and should they not
be permitted to discuss this sflbject,
they would have but little motive for
visiting the President.
The Cabinet officers tire also seclud-.
ing themselves as much as possible
for the purpose of preparing tlieir jui-
nual reports. It.is certain that the
Administration will take very positive
grounds on financial questions. Mr.
Manning, and the new U. tk Treasur
er, Mr. Jordon, will recommend in
their reports the suspension of silver
coinage. M r. .1 orilan expects to show-
in his report that $45,000,000 have al
ready been lost in the attempt to
force, silver into circulation. It is
held that it is not good financiering
to reduce the National debt which
bears interest of only three per cent
when the current rate is six per cent.
Treasurer Jordan is a man of very
pronounced views, and lias a very
plain way of stating them-* He says
if Thurman liad stuck to the green
back, he would now be President* of
the United States. Senator Sherman,
Mr. Jordan declares, would not tlare
to make such a statement on the lloor
,of the Senate as he made in his Peters
burg speech. If he were to advise
such a tiling in the Senate as the ap
plication of silver currency to-the
liquidation ot the public debt, it
would kill him forever, politically, and
send him back to private lifelike Thur
man was sent back when he changed
liis base on finance. Sherman, he says,
blames the administration for not do
ing a thing which he himself would
not dare to advocate.
Mr. Jordan is the first Treasurer
who has any reputation as a writer
on finance. 1 am told that he has
spent four or five hours a day for the
last six weeks on his annual report.
The gas is seen blazing brightly in
his room at the Treasury as late as
two o’clock in the morning. He sleeps
there as ex-Treasurer Spinner used to
do, and that was the way in which
Gen. Spinner came to be called the
“watch dog of the Treasury.” In his
treatise on currency Mr. Jordan in
tends to give Congress sohie informa
tion which that body will do well to
study.
It wan uu able retort that a citizen
of Washington who had been disap
pointed in getting a local office, made
to Senator Sherman. “1 have al
ways told you” saiil the Senator of
bloody shirt proclivity, “that the
Democrats do not know how to run
tills government. They will leave our
Republican friends in until tlieir be
ing put out will do the Democratic
party no good. Only the Republicans
know liow to run the government.”
The disappointed office holder spoke
up bravely for the administration.
Said he: “Mr. Cleveland and liis as
sociates know how to ran the Govern
ment, but not their party. Theyj are
running the Government today at
the expense of their party. The dif
ference between the two parties is
that the Republicans ran the Govern
ment solely in the interests of their
party.”
Y’ou may not hear much said about
the Agricultural Department of the
Government, since Commissioner Col-
man has taken charge of it. He is a
practical as well as a theoretical farm
er, and has made great improvements
in its organization and work in all di
rections. His ornamental predeces
sor, who mis-applied the funds of the
Department, announced some time
ago, that if the Government really
thought he owed it $20,000, he would
pay that sum into the Treasury. He
was given to uuderstaml that the
Government thought those figures
about tlie right size.
Still Dr. Loring could not think the
Government meant it and did not for
ward with alacrity, thereupon suit
was entered against him in Boston
for that amount.
ADDRESS OF GEN. D. H. HILL.
At the annual meeting of the survi
vors of the Army of Northern Virgin
ia, in Richmond, on the 22nd (October,
Gen. D. H. Hill, was the orator of the
evening. We take from the Richmond
Dispatch a synopsis of his address as
follows:
General Hill was received with deaf
ening applause tintl stood for some
minutes before he could proceed.
General Hill began his address as
follows:
Soldiers of the Army of Northern
Virginia It is meet and proper that
this association of the veterans of the
noblest, truest, and bravest army that
the sun ever shone upon should as
semble in the capital of the late Con
federacy. It is eminently fitting, too,
that it should meet in the capital of
Virginia, since its name and fame are
inseparably associated with three illus
trious Virginians. It was a Virginian
who first organized it and sent it up
on its wonderful career of victory ; it
was a Virginian who, at its head, held
at bay for three years, the army re
cruited from the four quarters of the
globe, and who, with ever-decreasing
forces, fought the world in arms; it
was a Virginian who, with portions of
this famous army, made those stealthy
marches to the rear and struck those
terrible blows which so astonished the
world. We remember that-it was a
Virginian whose eloquence most fired
the hearts of the colonists against
British aggression; that it was a \ ir-
ginian who moved in the Continental
Congress for a declaration of inde
pendence; that it was a Virginian
who led the armies of the rebellion
against Great Britain ; that it was a
Virginian who so expounded the prin
ciples of the Constitution as to make
that instrument acceptable to the
American people; that it was a \ ir-
ginian who presided over the court
established under that Constitution
with such ability and impartiality
that he is to-day regarded as the
wisest, the greatest, and purest of the
Chief Justices of the United States.
We remember with just pride that
one-lialf of the life of the nation,
from Washington to Lincoln—thirty-
six of the seventy-two years—was
passed under the Administration of
Virginian Presidents. We remember
with reverential awe the Father of
his Country, the Virginia-bom Wash
ington, of whom Wellington said
that “he was the greatest and sub-
liinest, anti yet the plainest and sim
plest, character in history”; concern
ing whom Byron made the pathetic
lament that “the. earth liail no morw'jtkas decided
seed to produce Jampther like unto
him.”'

and best of her sons. The Army of

General Hill then gracefully intro
dueed as his theme
THK CONFEDERATE SOLDIER Ok THK
RANKS.”
His picture of “Johnny Reb" as lie
was, and his illustrations of what lie
accomplished against overwhelming
odds, were Vivid and life-like, aud fre
quently brought down the house in
loud lat
plause.
His facts and "figures were of great
historic value, and were at the same
time a tribute of surpassing eloquence
to the qualities of the private soldier
in the ranks of the Confederate army.
He gave anecdotes, illustrating the
coolness, courage, and devotion to
country of the jmvate soldier which
were, by turns, amusing or pathetic,
and evoked the enthusiastic approval
of the “old rebs” who heard him. 'lit'
brought out in illustration, a very
valuable statement of the haftle of
Seven Pines (in which he paid a’ warm
tribute to Colonel Thomas *H. -Carter
and the King William Artillery,
which he then commanded,) South
Mountain,, and Sliarpsburg, which he
regarded as one of the best illustra
tions of the prowess of the Confeder
ate army. He gave some very care
fully-compiled statistic to show that,
instead of having 1)7,000 tit Sharps-
burg (as General McClellan reported).
General Lee had really only 27,600
there. He illustrated also by
the campaign of 1864, when General
Lee’s army killetl and wounded more
of the enemy than they had, and
their service in the trenches at Peters
burg.
. THE PERORATION.
General Hill concluded us follows:
And what shall be said of those un
selfish patriots who were true to tlieir
colors to the last, when the ravages of
armies liad desolated their country
and the torches of bummers had left
blackened chimneys as monuments
over the buried treasures of a hus
band's and father's love? How can
we sufficiently honor those men who,
knowing that their families, without
food and without shelter, were starv
ing to death, or were living on the
offal of the enemy's camps—who,
knowing even this, yet still answered
to roll-call, yet still filled their places
in tho ranks, yet still faced death
again and aga’in, putting duty to
country above duty to wife and chil
dren? Aye, how many of them pour
ed out their hearts’ blood in that last
despairing struggle, leavingthose they
loved more than life, to the cold char
ities of a forgetful world ! Hard must
lie the heart of that foeman which
does not warm with a generous glow
at this simple tale of sublime devotion
to principle. And liow should this
story affect us, their comrades in dan
ger and their partners in the same
buoyant hopes and the same deep de
spair? May my arm be palsied by my
side when it ceases to hold up the
banner inscribed all over with their
glorious deeds. May my tongue cleave
to the roof of my mouth when it ceas
es to pronounce the praise of such
matchless courage, unrivalled forti
tude, and unselfish patriotism. God
bless the privates in the ranks now
and forevermore ! [Great Applause.]
Having an unwavering faith in tfie
wisdom, justice, and mercy of Hod, 1
bow with adoring reverence to His
decree which destroyed our hopes of
southern independence. I would not
reverse His decree if I could do so;
that would be wicked and presumpt
uous. All honorable Confederates
render the truest allegiance to the ob
ligations imposed upon them by the
surrender. I believe that the most
uncompromising rebels—yea, the' bit
terest rebels, if you choose to call
them so—would lie the very first to
rally round the old flag in any jnst
and honorable war. They have e\
pressed the sincerest sympathy with
the sufferings and misfortunes of illus
trious foemtii; they have rejoiced at
the successes of many of tlieir Into
antagonists, hnd they have contribu
ted to those successes. '
But no generous conqueror wishes
tlie conquered to'forget their old. ties
and their old loves. No generous
conqueror wishes us to disparage the
grand heroism and the unparalleled
constancy of the Confederates in the
ranks.
No generous conqueror expects us
to underrate the ability of our great
leaders because they were defeated,
without takinginto consideration that
their defeat was due to their being
overwhelmed. E ver >’ sehooi-boy

who attacked him in front? Who* of
you remembers the name of tlie com
mander of the so-called “Immortal
Band,” which, having gone through
a secret defile, attacked him success
fully in rear? The historian of the
present looks only tit victory and dc
feat; the historian of the past looks at
all tlie surroundings. But even now
we of the present, who Intve seen tfie
great movements of otir wonderful
leaders, can look at these surround
ings. Every one with southern b’ood

General Hill was vociferously ap
plauded as he took his seat, an< 1
was warmly congratulated on his
speech.
