RE-UNION CO. B-, 16th GEO. REGIMENT.
Having received several invitations to be
present at the re-union of Cos. 8., (Capt. Rey
nolds’ old company,) 16th Georgia, ve man
aging editor was, at an early hour, Saturday
morning last, “ armed and equipped,” ready
and waiting for transportation to the “ scene
of action.” “ Prof.” W. F. Hunter having
urbanely offered us a “ berth” on his “ light
ning express,” after a short time spent in yet
ting tip steam, our train moved in the direc
tion of Centre Hill church (first Universalist)
about 6£ a. m. Along the line of travel, we
noted several places of interest—to us, at
least; Galilee church, Thompson’s Mill on
the Oconee, Ebenezer church, Mulberry riv
er, etc., etc.; while the principal attraction
was some of the most beautiful farms of corn
and cotton we ever beheld, pace will not
permit enumeration; the whole scene was a
verification of what had been remarked be
fore starting, “that in our journey to Centre
Hill, we would pass through one of the best
sections of Jackson county !”
The day proved to be the hottest of the sea
son ; and we beg to remark, incidentally, that
our “ coach” was not a “ Pullman Palace
Sleeping Car,” but was, on the other hand,
a fair sample of a celebrated vehicle manu
factured within the “ precints” of Jackson,
Michigan ; while a portion of the road over
which we passed seemed as though it had
suffered from an eruption something akin to
that of “ Mount Vesuvius,” at some time not
very distant in the past. Notwithstanding
all this, however, our chief engineer, Bob
Watson, (col.) succeeded in landing us safe,
if not sound, at the destined point, about
o’clock.
Already was the beautiful grove around
the neat little church edifice filled with vehi
cles of every description, in which the beau
ty and fashion of the immediate community
as well as the adjacent sections round about,
had come to take part in this festive testimo
nial of a brave and gallant people to the he
roes—(both living and dead) —of a glorious
and noble but now (shall we say it?) “lost
cause.” The crowd, now larger than was
anticipated, still increased, and at about 10|
o’clock, there had congregated at this place,
soon to be made memorable by this day’s
exercises, a number of people far outstrip
ping the calculations of the most sanguine—
consisting of the refinement, the intelligence,
the beauty and gallantry of Jackson and her
adjoining sister counties.
The large assemblage being called to or
der, Lieut. H. J. Cox made a few remarks as
to the object of the gathering. After which,
by request, Capt. J. M. Venable addressed
the Throne of Grace in a most impressive
manner—petitioning for the blessing of high
Heaven upon all present, and especiallj’ upon
the widows and orphans of those gallant spi
rits over whose forms, years ago,
“ The muffled drum's sad roll had heat
The soldier’s last tattoo.”
Liout. Cox then proceeded to call the roll,
when some fifteen or twenty of the surviving
members of the valiant and noble “ Band”
answered to their names.
Capt. IL 11. Carlton, of Athens, (editor of
the Northeast Georgian.) was, in a few perti
nent and handsomely worded remarks, then
introduced to the audience, by Lieut. Robert
White. Of the address of our fellow-soldier
and commander, we dare not risk anything
like a synopsis or online—the intense heat
and the large concourse surrounding the Hon.
speaker preventing us from getting a seat
close enough to hear distinctly’ what was said.
But that it was peculiarly fitted, well-timed
and most happily suited to the occasion, was
fully* testified by the constant bursts of ap
plause with which he was greeted, and amid
which, he was often forced to stop and await
the subsidence of the enthusiasm ere he could
again take up his subject. But, while not
attempting to delineate in the least, the sub
stance of Capt. Carlton's address, we must be
permitted to express our humble approbation
of his selection as the orator of this occasion.
Who so tit and proper to speak of the daring
and chivalrous deeds of “fallen braves” and
“ living heroes” as he who had been their
companion, their coadjutor, their exemplar
from beginning to end P That the reader may
judge, however, for himself, of the “ theme”
of Capt. Carlton on this occasion, we make
the following extract from his own paper of
Wednesday last:
The writer then had the honor, in a few re
marks, of uniting with these heroes of 1801 in their
revival of the pleasant recollections of the past, in
their renewal of the ties of affection and the
strengthening of links of friendship which were
formed and cemented during our four years of
sanguinary* conflict, and with feelings commingled
with joy and sadness, joined them in extending
the hand of true brotherhood to the living, while
we shed our tears of sorrow and affection over the
memory of those departed comrades who having
“ crossed over the river, and now resting under
the shade of the trees,” await that grand final re
union when the long-roll of time shall sound their
assembly upon the parade ground of eternity*.'’
The “feast of reason” being at an end, it
was announced that an opportunity would
then be afforded for all present to partake of
another “feast”—and one too, which as the
sequel proved, was to form no unimportant
feature of the day's history*. Impromptu
seats and tables were provided as far as cir
cumstances would admit, and each and eve
ry one was invited to dinner—of which there
was a most bountiful supply—prepared in
that superb sty*le and manner for which not
only the fair ladies around Centre Hill are
justly’ celebrated, but for whieh the kind ma
trons and beautiful maidens of Jackson coun
ty’ stand unexcelled and unsurpassed.
Dinner being over, and a proper time al
lowed for recuperation and rest, the crowd
was again called to order, when a few brief
and most happy remarks were indulged in by*
Lieut. Robt. White, of Cos. 8., intersperssd
with an anecdote or two —calling forth round
after round of applause. * * The
company (that is, Cos. 8.,) then passed some
resolutions looking forward to a permanent
organization and preservation of the history,
&c., of the company. The following, kindly
furnished us on the ground, contains, as we
were informed, the substance of the proceed
ings of the afternoon meeting :
“ Resolved , That the names of the members of
Cos. B. be recorded in a book or books provided
for the purpose, giving the position and rank
held by each member, his time in service, wheth
er wounded or not; place, date, and cause of
death, if dead. A list of the survivors to be an
nexed.
“ That all members of the Company present are
appointed a Committee of the Whole to carry out
the above resolution.”
Thus closed the day's exercises so far as
relates to the prime object of the occasion.
Amusement was now in order, and various
were the modes adopted to while away the
interval between this and “breaking up time.”
Violins arc brought into requisition, and
while there was Tittle or no “ tripping the
light fantastic toe*’—(if we except a “ stag
dance” or two by some of the b’hoys)—still
the lively music seemed to lend an almost
inexpressible inspiration to many a listener,
old and young. As for ourself while giving
ear to the merry strains, we could not help
indulging an inward consciousness, that
though we could never be young again, yet
we should never forget how young people feel.
Three o’clock—and now the happy con
course begin to disperse and • seek the seclu
sion of home. One by one—by twos, threes,
squads and dozens they take their different
routes, till at last we find that “our crowd”
are almost the sole occupants of the spot
where, but so short a time previous, there
was so much of life, pleasure and enjoyment.
A few moments suffice to put our “ train” in
motion, and then homeward we “ hie,” thank
ful that we were permitted to enjoy the fes
tivities of the first re-union of Cos. 8., and
hoping that those noble veterans—the survi
vors—may live to enjoy many a return of
this ever memorable day, and that when they
meet again we may be there “ to see !”
In giving an account of the day’s doings,
there may be perhaps, some inaccuracies ; if
so, we hope they will be looked over—they
are not intentional. We were suffering from
the intense heat, and besides, endeavoring to
introduce the News to some who had not, as
yet, formed its acquaintance—consequently
we have to give our “ sketch” as best we can.
To Capt. T. C. Williams, L. Y. Bradberry,
Lieuts. Cox and White. D. A. Camp, Esq.,
and many others, we now “raise our beaver,”
and bow respectfully for courtesies extended
on the occasion.
The Colored People and the “ News.”
With some gratification, we note the fact
that among our subscribers is quite a num
ber of colored people, who stand in “ good
repute” with their white friends and are quite
prominent and esteemed among their own
class ; and Avould take this occasion to say
to those who are not taking the paper, that
the}' are interested—some to a pretty good
extent—in all that pertains to the welfare of
the country and county. Then, come up,
and subscribe. By this means your children
will be induced to study and learn to read,
and innumerable will be the benefits, In the
end, of having the county paper around your
hearthstone.
“The Craps.”
From all the facts we are able to gather,
speaking in “ general terms,” the crop pros
pects are still very encouraging. While this
is true, we regret to learn that in some sec
tions of Jackson, Gwinnett and the counties
adjoining, the drouth ha* been so severe as
to preclude the possibility of more than a
“ half-crop,” if that. Accounts of this na
ture, however, are frequently exaggerated,
and we are induced to hope for better tilings
yet.
“Life in the Old Land Yet.”
We were told, the other day, of a gentle
man of Jackson county, some 75 years old,
weighs about one hundred pounds, has
his third wife-—who presented her “ liege
lord” with twins not long since; and still
they don't live near Col. Legg’s Springs,
either!
IPP’A young man of color, named Als
Watson, or Oliver, we are not certain which,
died on Sunday last at his parents’ residence,
of typhoid fever. He was buried on Mon
day, his funeral being attended by the, “Jef
ferson firemen,” of which he was a faithful
member, aud a large number of his colored
relatives and friends.
NOTES BY THE WAY-SIDE.
Jefferson, Jackson Cos., Ga, )
July 22. 1875. /
Mr. Editor: —For many years, I have been in
the habit of noticing the every-day scenes of life
as seen along my humble pathway. By request,
I extract the following item from my Note-Book
and send them to you for publication, if thought
worthy of a place in your columns.
The adventures of to-day, brought mo to Oak
Grove Lodge, No. 77,1. O. 0. F., located in Clarke
County. This is a young and thrifty Lodge,
pleasantly situated in a wide-spreading grove, and
my visit there proved to be one of the most pleas
ant episodes of life, and forcibly reminded me of
the saying of Dr. Daly, that “the concourse of
brothers is one of the greatest sweets of life.’’
Through the grove tnere runs a limpid stream
that flows from a sparkling fountain containing a
copious supply of that water described by John B.
Gough as “ the liquor which God, the Eternal,
brews for all his children.” Near this spring
there arose a line of curling smoke from an ex
tended pit, over which the veritable “ Luin ”
Williamson presided, with a skill and industry to
the highest degree commendable. Exposed to the
fuming coals in the pit were nicely prepared car
casses of various animals, on which spice, nut
meg, vinegar, and various other things unknown
to this deponent,” were being “basted, and rub
bed. and mopped, and sprinkled, and salted, and
poured,” in the most admirable manner. Around
all, wreathed in happy smiles, was a large assembly
of fair ladies and gallant gentlemen, all in attend
ance upon a “Barbacue,” given by the “I. 0.
0. F.” of the above Lodge, and to which all neigh
boring Lodges had been invited. Being a mem
ber of the fraternity myself, I repaired to the
Lodge where I had the pleasure of meeting with
more than a hundred brethren “of like faith an
order.”
A procession was formed and marched to a stand
prepared for the occasion, and from which there
floated a gorgeous scroll containing, in flaming let
ters, the following motto: “Odd-Fellowsliip,
the Friend of the Widow and Orphan.”
After an Ode of Welcome, ami a fervent prayer
by the Chaplain, Col. D. B. Woodruff, of Macon,
Ga.. was introduced, who, in a happy style and
pointed manner, addressed the audience. Amid
the cheers of the brethren. Col. Woodruff took his
seat, and the Rev. W. W. Oslin was then intro
duced. His address was full of imagery
and pathos, elegant diction, * chaste language,
and delivered in such a manner as to evince a heart
full of the glorious principles to which he is so
ardently devoted.
Another beatiful Ode was sung, and then the
large concourse of people gathered around a table
128 feet long. On this table was spread, in rich
profusion, all kinds of provisions known to the
most devoted follower of Epicurus—all thorough
ly, nicely, daintily, and even elegantly prepared.
You may have heard of people doing full justice
to matter and things in general, but you never saw
it in particular, unless you had been at that table ;
and no one who was there blamed another for it. for
everything was good, everything was nice, every
thing was free, and everybody was welcome.
Dinner being over, the brethren again repaired
to the Lodge, where the Rebecca degree was con
ferred on 59 candidates for that beautiful journey
once traveled bv the mothers of Israel/ Then,
without a single breach of good manners to mar the
proceedings of the day. all quietly returned to
their homes, in full faith of the glorious principles
found linked together in the golden chain ot F.
L. T. Rambler.
COUNTR-V GLIMPSES.
Religious Meeting.
Mr. Editor :—A meeting has been going
on at Galilee (Christian) church since last
Friday night. There have been eight access
ions, and the interest is unabated. The
meeting is conducted by Elders Lamar,
Foster and Doster, and these worthy, ear
nest heralds of the Cross are doing a great
and good work in our midst. May this good
work continue.
Our Hoe-cake Ridoi;r„
Once in my time, I was wending my way
quietly to a sale. I was prompted to this trip
by noticing upon the post of a sign-board
where several roads met, the following : “ I
shel purceed to seel to the highest bidder on
Saterday, the 3rd day of J anewarv next, at
the late David Double Esq., together with all
the horses, muels, sheep and hoges. Cash
on all sums of five dollars and under, and a
credit of twelve raont on the ballance. Bond
with approved sekurity will be rekuired.”
etc. On my way to this sale, a group of horse
men overtook me, from which I will single
out one for description, that you may have a
graphic sketch of the sort of folks and horse 9
that lived thereabouts. Wert thou ever ou
Hoecake Ridge? and hast thou ever met in
winter a thoroughbred native of that region,
mounted upon his little shaggy pony, “ skelp
ing on througn dub and mire,” like Tam
O’Shanter? Here he was to-day in his ele
ment, dressed in nankin pantaloons, and a
thin.cotton jacket, and riding in the teeth of
a strong north-wester, singing “ Hail Colum
bia.” His saddle had no skirts, having been
robbed of these useless appendages by some
rogue who wanted a pair of brogues ; his bri
dle had as many knots as the sea-serpent.
But I must notice his pony, whose head
and neck may be aptly represented by a
maul and its handle. His tail is six inches
long, and standing at an angle of forty-five
degrees with his back; his hair is long* and
shagg}'; he is cat-hammed, and his chest so
narrow, that his forelegs almost touch one
another; his eyes snap firo when you plague
him. You may talk of improving the breed
of horses. Tell me not of your Steeles,
your Eclipses, your Arabians ! They may
be all very well in their places, but this pony
is the animal for the Hoecake Ridge country,
lie can bite the grass, which is absolutely
invisible to human eyes, aud subsist upon it.
If you would give him six ears of corn
twice a daj T ANARUS, he would be almost too fat to
travel. He never stumbles. Give him the
reiu, and he will pick his path as carefully
as a lady. Ilis powers of endurance exceeds
the camel's. Ilia master is a sot, and his
horse will stand all night at a tippling shop,
gnawing a fence rail; he almost prefers it
to a cornstalk which has been lying out
all winter—his common food. When his
master comes forth aud mounts, he studies
attitudes. If the rider reel to the right, tßfc
pony leans to the star-board side; if to the
left he tacks to suit him. If the master
fall, he falls clear, having no girth to his
saddle, and the pony does not waste time
in useless meditation upon accidents that
will happen to the best of us, but moves
homeward with accelerated velocity, leaping
every obstacle in his way to his brush stable.
It was my good fortune to drop in along
side of the man who was mounted upon this
incomparable animal, and complimenting
him upon his philosophy in the selection of
his song and the dexterity of his horse, I
soon found he was a great politician, and we
chatted most agreeably until our arrival at
the place of the sale. He was a violent
and politics arc different matters altogether.
You may be a great politician you know,
without a particle of literature. Politicians
are the last people in the world to bear a
joke, and if I had even glanced at his dis
course, he would not have submitted to the
interference, but would have seen “more
devils than vast hell can hold.” The world
must therefore be content to lose the humor
ot my singular acquaintance, as I cannot
possibly do justice to his conceptions with
out the mention of names, and he and his
comrades upon the occasion alluded to are
still living. I shall die, though, unless I
find some occasion of disclosing them, for
old Ilardcastle’s man Diggory was never
more diverted at the story of the grouse in
the gun-room, than I was at the political con
ceits of my Iloecake-ridger.
Yours with a vim,
Timothy Puck Tuomui*ton.
Galilee. July 21st, 1875.
While on our “winding way” to the re
union, the other day, we had pointed out to
us a curiosity—which might not be consider
ed much of a “curiosity,” either. It present
ed, at first glance, the appearance of a hollow
oak stump ; is some 18 inches through, and
about a foot high. But what seems to be
considered strange about it is, that it is
green; the hollow has water in it nearly or
quite all the time ; and whatever it may be
termed, it is contemporaneous with the oldest
inhabitant.
