For the Southern Recorder.
Lines iu memory of Charles F. Williams,
(son of Elijah Williams, Esq., of Macon county.
Georgia,) yvlio was mortally wounded at the
battle of "Sharpsbarg, September 17th, 1862,
aud died a few days afterward while a prisoner
in the hands of the enemy. He belonged to the
8th Louisiana Regiment.
Where the Southern skies are bluest and the South
ern homes most fair,
Where the soug-birds’ notes are sweetest and the
gurgling streams most clear;
Here yve km-vr our scliool-boy, Charlie, with the
laughter-loving eye.
And heart brimful of gcntlen-ss to all beneath the
sky.
Where, the patriots first united in a bright, heroic
band,
To drive the base marauders from our glorious
Southern land ;
There stood he—our noble Charlie—with the ride
glist’ning bright,
And foremost ’mid that gallant baud, and fiercest
in the fight.
Near to the “soldier's guiding-star" where’er that
Christian trod,
‘With lion-heart uplifted, in a mute apneal to
God !”
Onward, onward, ever onward, with a firm, untir
ing tread,
’Twas e’er his pride to follow where the peerless
“Stonewall” led.
Where the iron hail fell thickest, and the war-
steed’s anguished cry
Was lost amid the, deafening rear that sundered
earth and sky.
He fell—our warrior Charlie—while the red blood
flowed like rain,
Poured forth “to make sweet sanctities for South
ern homes again!*’
In a dreary, darksome prison, breathing out life’s
burdened hours,
He dreams anon of “home, sweet home,’’ aud its
fair wild-wood bowers;
Then tender thoughts of loved ones there, rush
o’er the youthful heart.
And struggling tears alone tell forth how hard it
is to part!
“Stranger! beside n%’ loyvly couch, standing thus
faithfully, \
O, bear my farewell message to the hearts that
bled for me!
Go to my far-off Southern home and bid my father
. j°y*
For in my country’s glorious cause thus dies his
darling boy !
“And to mv gentle mother—ah! with bleeding
heart and sore,
She'll weep the long, long hours awayyvlien I can
come no more—
No more—and yet I go in peace from these dark
scenes away.
My chast’ned spirit soars with bliss into the per
feet day!”
O. Maryland, fair Maryland, horv sacred is thy
trust.
To thee we give our treasure up—his priceless,
precious dust;
And noyv hevend the rushing of the dark Poto
mac’s wave,
His sunny smile is hidden in a prisoner’s loyvly
grave. *
In a land “beyond the ri\ r er,” yvhere no despot ty
rant dwells,
Where the clarion calls to arms no more, nor rous
ing war-cry swells;
We may meet our long-lost Charlie—for the rifle
is laid doyvn.
And the laurel wreath is but exchanged for the
immortal croyvn.
Oglethorpe. Ga., Xoeembcr 30tA. 186*2.
The English ‘Cotton Famine.:—
The London Daily News, of the 6th
instant, has the following important
article, showing that the English cotton
manufacturers will soon liable to ob
tain a supply of the staple indepen
dently of the American growers :
The day was sure to arrive when
the general inability to believe in a
supply of cotton from other sources
than the American cotton States must
give way before the facts. That day
seems to he near at hand. At the end
of last week the cargoes from India be
gan to arrive Upwards of 10,000
bales from Bombay * came in during
three days, and the quantity from that
porl actually at sea ami at Liverpool,
was found to he about 397,000 bales :
so that Mr. Villiers, whose promises
were held to be trash when lie spoke
of 400,000 bales, appears to be fully
justified in the hopelessness of his
tone.
The next disclosure was that we
have u prospect oi a supply, in 1SG3,
of J.630,000 out of the 4,000,000 which
is the largest quantity desired, at the
ordinary rate of prices. This amount
will be just double the quantity used
per week for the last three months ;
and thus it must seem that the worst
must he past. At the recent high
juices the weekly average taken by
the trade has been 15,278, and the
promised supply, independent of any
change in American affairs, will yield
31,346 bales pet week. The sources
of this supjilv is India, the Brazils,
Egypt, Turkey, Greece. Italy, chance
cargoes from America, and “other
sources.” These “other sources” are
are credited only with 25,000. Coti:
sidering that the West Indies are includ
ed under this head, it is reasonable to
hojie that the supjily may turn out to
have been underated even for the coin
ing season.
The rejiorts from Jamaica are in the
highest degree encouraging, both as to
the flourishing condition of the growing
croj) and the rapid increase of the area
devoted to cotton. In Guiana and
Demnrara the proprietors are setting
heartilv to work to procure the requi
site labor, which may probably he sup
plied from the United States. Agri
cultural machinery of the highest order
has been sent out to Port Rico, which
is c-xpecteJ to supply a large, quanti
ty, not less than the produce of 2,000
acres, next year, and the qualiLy of the
West India, cotton is declared to be
scarcely short of the highest rates of
American. Already we see that, as
lime jiasses on, we find ourselves un
der the process of being weaned from
our obstinate reliance on the slave
States ; and from month to month we
shall learn to give up the irrational
hope of any settlement in America
'which can restore the old state of af
fairs.
Large quantities of cottou arc being re
ceiveil now iu England from India. Re
cently thirteen vessels arrived in Liverpool
from Bombay, with 53,.>*s7 bales of cotton.
30,000 bales arrived in one day la6t month.
About 370,000 bales of cottou are en route
from Bombay to Liverpool.
