Talbotton, Sept. 1, 1801:
Eds. Times :
The third company of Volunteers from thia
county, left on yesterday for Griffin —the place
of rendezvous for tho regiment to which it be
longs. We are by no means inclined to boast of
the number of companies that we have sent to
the war; but think that when everything is ta
ken into consideration, we have done quite as
much, if not more than some who seem disposed,
to disparage u3. There is most always a lack of
that “esprit de corps” among the people of the
country, which is so characteristic of the popu
lation in towns aud cities; and it should not be
expected that volunteering should proceed with
the same spirit in tho one case, as tho other. We
are endeavoring to do our duty in this county,
and if we are yet behind hand, compared with
what has been done in a few other places, wo
shall continue to respond whenever the occasion
demands it.
In addition to tho three companies that have
gone forward, wo are represented in several oth
ers that were organized in adjacent counties.
Many of our young men were so eager to enter
the service, that they would enlist in any compa
ny that had received orders to march. Our last
corps the “Talbot Volunteers,” will comparo fa
vorably with any that lias preceded it, and will
rank number one in every respect. It em
braces in its person, well much of tho “bone and
sinew,” together with a fair representation from
the different professions, and many of tho first
young men of the county. Tho company was
organized and equipped with remarkable dis
patch, and whilst we regard this as a most grat
ifying evidence of the patriotism and liberality
of our people, it is no less a compliment to the
gallant aud accomplished gentlemen who was se
lected Captain. No man has ever had to a great
er oxtent the confidence and esteem of this com
munity than Capt. L. B. Smith ; and soon as it
became known that.lie was in the field for Vol
unteers, they poured in from all quarters in such
numbers that the necessary compliment was at
onoe obtained.
llis high standing, as a citizen, and his com
manding talents will doubtless cause him to be
regarded a prominent candidate for the Colonel
cy of the regiment. He possesses in an eminent
degree, all jthose qualifications that aro essential
in constituting tho accomplished field officer. —
He is the man for that position or any other that
he would aspire to, and if elected will spare nei
ther time nor effort in having a regiment that
every Georgian will be proud of.
The weather still continues rainy and gloomy
in tho extreme. Our worst apprehensions con
cerning the cotton crops are fully realized. In
some localities it is almost ruined and seriously
injured everywhere. If a decided change does
not take place very soon, it is a settled point, we
shall make little or no cotton.

jS®**Tho Louisville Courier, noticing the telo
graphio announcement of the defeat of General
Tyler, in Western Virginia, -says his force, in
stead of being but 900 5000. He was beat
en by Gen. Floyd. The Federalists were on their
way to Gauley lliver, to form a junction with
Gen. Cox, who bad ascended the Kanawha to a

them off north of the river, and near Summer

Rather Suspicious. —We learn that on Sat

of the 4lh, about 9 o'clock, a strange looking craft
made her appearance off one of the batteries on
the coast, aud on being hailed made no reply,
when two blank shots were fired at her from the
battery. She immediately extinguished her
lights and put to sea, when a ball was fired, but
with what damage it is not known. Her pres
ence in that locality, and at such a time; could
be attributed to nothing else than taking sound

From the Mobile Register & Advertiser.
Charge of the Alabama Fourth Regiment at Manassas, j
Loud the battle’s din was sounding, t
Noisome was the air.-
All around were seen the dying,
Death was everywhere.
Deep the brazen cannon mattered
Forth its belching tones ;
And the cheering cry, ere utter’d
Changed to dying groans.
On a hillside, dark and gloomy,
Stood a warrior band;
Hailing from the hills and valleys
Os the “Resting land.”
From the plains of Alabama,
Where the orange waves;
They have come to meet in battle,
Dastard Northern slaves.
They are awaiting now the signal
For the deadly strife ;
And the only words they whisper—
“ Honor more than life.”
Iu their front the foe was firing— *
Sherman’s battery,
With its booming thunder, dealing
Death and misery.
Now the noble Bee came forward,
Flashing was his eye ;
“Sons of Alabama,” said he,
“Charge for victory !”
Then adown that steady column
Passed the magic sign ;
And the gallant Fourth moved onward,
With unbroken line.
Charge ! the order shrill, resounded
Through the waving wood;
And the echo, Charge! rebounded
O’er the field of blood,
Then the war-shout—Alabama !
Drowned the dying cry;
And that shout went up to Heaven,
To the God on high.
Now our braves fell fast, but faster
Fell the foemen’s dead ;
Till disheartened by disaster,
Dastardly they fled.
When the battle’s strife was o’er,
Calm yet tearfully,
The victors of the fight drew near,
To watch the gallant Bee.
By the gushing fountain pure,
This son of chivalry
Lay between this veil of life
And bright Futurity.
When the twilight stars were weeping,
O’er the ensanguin’d plain ;
They beheld the hero sleeping,
Ne’er to wake again.
Alabama! Alabama!
Was the soft refrain ;
And the golden-winged angel3
Breathed the sadden’d strain.

Great Reduction in Prices of
‘in HO VEE & BA i i E R’S
FAMILY -SEWISO MACHINES
I am authorized to sell these Machines at a re
duction on former prices ot from 10 to 15
per cent.; according to style of pattern.
All Machines warranted.
The Grover .t Baker Company is one of ihe
oldest and most successful of the originators and
directors of the business. It entered the field
at an early da}', when Sewing Machines were al
most in their first stages—when their manufac
ture was more of an experiment than anything
else. Step by step it has progressed in the de
velopement of the trade and the perfecting of
its Machines; taking advantage of all possible
improvements in the make, adaptation and mod
ification of machinery, it Las enjoyed the exclu
sive benefits of the inventive genius of one per
son of the firm (Mr. William 0. Grover,) by
which it has been placed in possession of privi
liges and patents that have given Machines pe
culiar and exclusive excellencies.
The mechanism of the Grover & Baker Ma
chine is exceedingly simple, durable and easily
understood by any person old or young; there
is nothing in its management that the simplest
mind may not grasp, and it is merely a question
of time and memory with some —most ladies will
learn at once showing, while others will Require
two or three lessons; frequently we see little
Misses, only 'ten years of age, operating the 31a
chine on straight seems without assistance.
Families who are about to purchase are respect
fully invited to call and'examine for themselves,
we take the liberty of saying, it is better for you
to purchase of a local responsible Agent, than
from peddlers who are travelling through the
country with chosp Sewing Machines.
