FROM Ult. lil i,L!£A KiOifcS.
About That fiood Wan tlrrrnicd, Hr. L,
Pierce, and a Good Ileal About Myself,
Unavoidable However as t Write From
My Own Diary.
This note is not intended to add a line
to the history Of his long and eminently
useful life, but simply to record a prophet
ic incident in, comparatively, his early
ministry and ia which I vm unfortunate
ly and Badly implicated, and of whioh he
never failed to speak when it was my good
fortune in after life to meet him. In No
vember, 1829, there was a marriage in
Sparta. Hancock Cos., at which he and Rev.
Mr. Howard officiated. During the same
week there was a Methodist camp meeting
in lively progress at or near Mount Zion,
the site of a celebrated female seminary, a
few miles distant, and the morning after
the wedding it was proposed by Doctor
Pierce that we should all ride out to
the camp meeting and the propo
sition was accepted by most of the
guests, many of whom were members of
the Legislature, then in session, and had
come over from Milledgeville in their own
vehiclee, it being before the day of rail
roads; the proposition was made directly
to the groom who responded, “By all
means, sir,” at the same time giving a
knowing wink to his grooms-men who
stood around him. There were three be
sides myself and accordingly he drove us
out in the family carriage with anew pair
of horses he had j ust purchased, leaving
his bride at home to build castles in the
air of a happy married life; alas, so soon
to be demolished. We started with the
cavalcade and took position next to the
preacher, but after going a short distance
his horses became restive, rearing and
plunging and trying to run and fearing a
collision with the carriage in front, he
reined them out of line, dashing by the
clergy at full speed and took a by-road over
which we travelled at a fearful rate for a
mile or more, when he pulled up sudden
ly, at a cock-fight. Many very respectable
gentlemen were assembled there and bet
ting freely; I was taken completely by sur
prise and was little a mortified, for I had
personally promised Dr. Pierce to meet
him there, and one of my groom compan
ions approaching me, I asked him:
‘ ‘How about the camp-meeting, Colonel?”
“Oh ! true enough, but the camp meeting
can wait,” he said, “and we’ll tell the par
sons and the ladies that vou knew nothing
of our destination and will take all the
blame upon ourselves and I say,” he con
tinued, “don’t bet against Bonner’s Texas
bird or you’ll lose your money.”
All things being ready, the ring was sur
rounded by a company of highly excited
spectators and the tight commenced. Dis
tasteful as the sport was to me, I honestly
confess that I took an occasional peep at
the pit and at last, saw the Colonel’s favor
ite fall dead with a gaft' through both
of his eyes: The expenses of the ring
were to be played off the next day in a
game of maables. The reader must not
think that I am reporting a cock-fight,
but only saying as much about it as is ne
cessary in this eventful story.
The fight being overand the camp meet
ing having adjourned for the day, we all
returned to the mansion to a late dinner,
and during its discussion the following
short dialogue took place:
“Dr. Pierce,” said the Colonel, in a loud
voice, “pray tell us what you were saying
to the people at the camp meeting, to-day.
that made them shout and clap their
hands so joyfully, for we heßrd them dis
tinctly where we were.”
“And pray,where were you, Colonel?”
“At least a mile off.”
“A mile oft'? why I did’nt think our
camp extended so far; however, I suppose
some good brother was holding a sort of
side-service which is often done, but you
all promised to come and hear me.
The Colonel was Bilent for a moment,
and then said: “My respected friend, I
confess to that and more; we went to Bon
ner’s field to ft cock-fight and bet on the
wrong bird. Now, considering that we
lost our money and are sorry to have dis
pleased you, wont you forgive us?”
Mr. Pierce in turn was silent for a mo
ment; he felt hurt at the light and careless
manner in which the Colonel spoke of se
rious matters and knowing him and his
company perhaps to be wicked fellows, he
said: “Let us close this subject by my
answer to your first question as to what I
was saying to the people this morning. I
preached to them from the text ‘Except ye
repent ye shall likewise perish, and I pray
you all to take heae to the solemn warn-
m The Colonel had forgotten to exhonerate
me aud that terrible word perish which he
empasized and repeated, was ringing in
my ears, and I determined to speak tor
myself and seizing the first opportunity I
did so and received kind words in return,
and which, by God s help, X trust I \s ill es
cape the doom of the others, for in six weeks
from that day, the first perished by a vio
lent death in the presence of his young
and lovely wife (which seemed to me the
refinement of perishing.) But a short
time after the second perished m a duel,
shot to death by that murderous weapon,
the Yuger rifle. The third, fell in Texas,
pierced by a dozen bullets fired by as
many desperate men and perished among
strangers. These tragic events and the
circumstances attending them will be re
membered by many from the deep and
very general interest they excited, and
the high social position of the parties
Dr. Pierce may not have intended to
predict their particular or individual des
truction, and most probably did not, tor
he only repeated to them tne words of his
text which he had selected from the Holy
Bible, but the execution of the sentence
in their case and so soon alter it yas pro
nounced, was at least strange and remark
able. Many years after the last tragedy 1
met Dr. Pierce at the house of Mr. Peter
Williams, in Milledgeville, where I was in
attendance upon a Gubernatorial Conven
tion and introduced to him my colleague,
Dr. Troup, and Hon. T. Butler King, of
Glynn, and in the pleasant conversation
that followed he made a touching allusion
to bhe'subject of this noteand in his ginral
remarks, won the confidence, respect and
esteem of these intelligent gentlemen. He
lost no opportunity to speak a word for his
master and embraced it, and what he spoke
was remembered in after days. He has
i gone to his reward and wears the crown
1 prepared for him.
A Cara ot ExiCamttiim tsi (he Colored
People of Mclntosh.
To the Editor of the Gazette:
Allow me a few words in brevity to my
race, on their mode of living in Mclntosh
county, and city of Darien. Now Mr. Ed
itor,for the past ten years I have been care
fully watching the progress of my people;
and can say, regretfully, without restric
tion, that our advancement in the past
time mentioned has not reached the zenith
of our long wished for post by a very ltyge
per cent. Now I believe that the latest
hinderance is too much delectation, excur
sions, picnics, balls and other things of
consumption,that tend to lessen us in this
life; and when the question is asked why
we make no advancement in old Mcln
tosh, the reply is that we have been in
thraldom for nearly two hundred and fifty
years, and then begins the thaumatjirgic
story of their past day; but I don't believe
the slaves had half the hardship that the
first colony of this country had, and if wc
did, we have been free for the past twelve
years, and it is time to improve some
power of advancement among ourselves
in Mclntosh, in this intelligent age in
which we live. Let us look at our little
farms that once attracted the attention of
passers from time to time, by their beau
tiful cultivation and abundance. Just pass
by those places to-day ;the fine farms have
become warrens, the family house a place
for the perching of reptiles and other vi
cious vermin. Now, Mr. Editor, the once
called farmers, can be found sluggishly
lurking around the city in such herds that
often causes strangers to ask is their a
caucus in town to-day or night ? Every
bar-room is filled and even those who pro
fess religion, participates in that sort of
advancement. Now lot us, as a race and
people living among those, who have had
opportunities in previous times to im
prove themselves, start at once to imitate
their examples in searching for the in
strumentalities that fit man for a higher
life than brutes. . For to my understand
ing there is little difference between us
and brutes when we are capable of reck
ing the highest degree of sensibility and
will not, while the brutes cannot. There
is nothing to stop our speed to intelli
gence, while such men as Hon. W. Robt.
Gignilliat and others have expressed them
selves in the best manner of friendship to
lift and aid us on that road, if we will but
try. We do not live in Russia, where ab
solute despotism, silence, individual pre
sumptions; neither do we live in Africa
where heathenism predominates, hut
right in the house of intellect. Shall the
light of intelligence which has been shin
ing for the past twelve years, to our people
as a guide, continue to shine on us in
vain? Even as we are gazing upon it shall
the shadow's and the clouds of ignorance
and vice forever settle on our minds ?
Now let us rise from this dormant state
and educate ourselves and our children,
for that better day will otherwise never
come. If I have fallen into any halluci
nation let some colored person correct
me. F. M. Mann.
Ku.iiten Death of Jlr. ('has A. Bavin.
The sudden death of Mr. Charles A.
Davis, so sudden as to be tragic, at the
Magnolia House in this place, on the morn
ing of the 17th inst., has created a pro
foundsadness in the circle of his acquaint
ance. He had been in ill health and un
der the care of Dr. Harris, for some time,
but was not supposed by Lis friends to be
in any immediate danger. On Wednes
day last, which was a beautiful day, he
expressed himself as feeling unusually
well. When he got up from the breakfast
table, however.be was observed to stagger,
and the head waiter, who was standing
by, had barely time to catch Mr. Davis in
his arms to prevent him from falling to
the floor. At the same time a profuse and
violent hemorrhage of the lungs super
vened, and although Dr. Coyle, who was
present, immediately administered the
usual remedies employed in such cases,
they were unavailing and in less than five
minutes from the moment that he fell,Mr.
Davis had ceased to live. Mr. Davis was
a native of New Bedford, Massachusetts,
but had resided in Savannah for many
years. Latterly he removed to Darien and
was carrying on the mercantile business at
Cain Creek, opposite Doboy Island. The
flags of shipping in this port were flying
at half mast on Wednesday and Thursday,
in respect to his memory. Strait forward
and conscientious iu business, gentle,
kind-hearted, and genial in social life,Mr.
Davis made many warm friends, wherever
he was known. His funeral took place at
2 o’clock p. m., on Thursday from St. An
drews Church, the Bev. Henry E. Lucas,
Rector of St. Mark’s Church, Brunswick,
officiating. The pall-bearers were Mi ssrs.
James E. Holmes, William Mitcheson, R.
W. Grubb, Thomas White, VV. Robert
Gignilliat, William Downey, M. C. Tyler
and W. H. Cotter. His remains will be sent
North to his family. Tendering our heart
felt sympathy to his bereaved relatives in
their distant Northern home, we assure
them, that the last offices for the dead, were
performed for him, by kind and loving
hands May he sleep well where ever he
may be laid; and in a brighter woild than
this “may life bid him good morning I”
We will again remind the public that
our columns are always open to all those
who may wish to ventilate their ideas on
matters of public interest, but in no event,
hereafter, will we consent to publish stuff
sent in to this office that needs correcting
j an q r e-writing. We have all we can do to at-
I tend to our own business, and if parties, in
j the future, wish to contribute and they
haven’t brains enough to write out their
ideas, why let them go to someone who
j can do it for them. We have been both-
I ered a great deal of late and we don’t pro
' pose to be troubled any more.
Another Card From JusticeLAlkvn.
To the Public -The late Grand Jurors
of Mclntosh count}', over their signatures,
in tbo last issue of the Gazette, have en
deavored to beat n retreat from the wither
ing truths of my 1 wt card under the shal
low defense of c. dj-rence of opinion. I ap
peal to yon; who is inosi. able to judge] of
what i8 oorreet in these matters, I, who
have made the duties of the office of Jus
tice my study for years, and my books
kept in the same manner as they now are
and approved by many Grand Juries, or
these men, who by calling for my books
a second time, proved that they were not
satisfied with the position they had taken,
and hence called upon me for an explana
tion of my dockets ? Had this courtesy
been extended me from the jury room,
they could in no wise have attempted to
do me a wrong. Now they say I admitted
an oversightjby their not naming the j>oint
in question, they icisii to make it appear
an intentional error.
Ever maintaining truth to be a priceless
jewel, I do admit that costs in one case
amounting to $1.40, wore paid me by Mr.
W. L. Fi.l:on, one of these Grand Jurors,
who settled the case iu vacation at the
suggestion of his attorney, Mr. Gignilliat;
and I having a beef account with Mr. Pul
ton, credited on my pass-book this amount
of $1.40, after I had given him a bill of
the same and, although I marked this case
on my docket paid, without itemizing the
costs, I can prove the same to be correct
by the fee-bill. As to their legal adviser,
I can only say of him, being a young man
and a stranger, “they took him in,” thus
repudiating the generous offer of our no
ble State, which furnishes mature ability
w'ithout expense.
Now, gentlemen of the late Grand Jury,
I have done with you ! however, before
closing I hope you have all recovered from
the attack of nausea of which you com
plained in your card; if you need another
emetic I will administer it, but prefer get
ting one of our professional if. D. s to
feel your pulse, and if feeble, I will gladly
furnish a stimulant (more to your tastes
perhaps) though I, as a Justice, not only
get no thanks for trying to do my duty, but
no insolvent costs, hence my purse from
this source of revenue is very light.
In reply to Mr. Grubb s card ot explan
ation I w'ill acknow'ledge that an editor’s
position under such circumstances is rath
er trying, and I wish it understood, that 1
alone, am responsible for what I have said
through his columns. In asking Air.
Grubb to publish my card which he kind
ly did, I knew that although ho was a
Grand Juror, he had been excused from
serving, so was not present all the time
at the wise deliberations of this august
bod} 7 . If I have in any way wounded any
lady, I crave her most humble pardon; il
there is any such instance, my arrows
pierced farther than was my intention.
As to the shots made at me, if they were
meant as tliursts to reach my family, they
fell far short of the mark, as “’tis only the
truth which hurts.”
With these remarks I bid adieu to the
readers of the Gazette, not w ishing news
paper notoriety, but only defending my
self w'hen forced to, as I have beeij in this
present instance. Respectfully,
Isaac M. Aiken,
Notary Public and ex-officio J. P.

The masonic hall over Messrs. W. H. Cot

of a high-toned and refined character and
as the gentlemen composing the commit

are men of energy and good taste in such

and great variety', and that gentlemen as
sures us that he will have everything in
such abundance and good taste that the

of Terpsichore will be out in force and
trip the “light fantastic toe” ’till the “wee
sma’ hours.”
A Lioo.l Mutt
On Friday morning last Mr. John W.
Hebbard, who resides on the Ridge, while
| coming from the house had his attention
| called to a pair of eagles which were
I perched in a pine about three hundred
! yards from the dwelling. Mr. 11., think
ing he might prove his fitness to become a
member of the American Rifle Team in
| their next match, brought out bis Henry
: rifle and after adjusting the sights, drew a
bead on one and fired; his aim was true
and the noble bird fell to the ground with
out a flutter of its majestic wings, the bail
1 having entered its breast, coming out be
! tween the wings. It measured six and a
half feet from tip to tip of wings. Mr.
Hebbard brought the eagle to the city and
turned it over to Mr. Cotter who is trying
his skill as a taxidermist, and he will no
| doubt have an addition to his collection
of curiosities, as the work of setting it up
is progressing quite satisfactorily.

We are pleased to know that the Rev. P.
J. McCabe has returned from the North.
Father McCabe went North about three
month ago,to recuperate his failing health,
expecting to be absent about a month,
when on the eve of returning he was tak
en suddenly ill and for a time his life was
despaireif of, but we, with his many
friends in this community are grateful
that he has been spared to continue his
good work, and while not completely re
stored to health he has returned convales
cent, after being confined to his bed for
six weeks. Father McCabe wishes us to
announce to his parishoners and friends
here, that he will celebrate high mass in
the church at the Ridge at 11 o’clock a, m.,
on Christmas day. A sermon on the Gos
pel of the day will be preached after
mass.
Walker has the most beautiful lamps,
vases, toilet and bed room sets ever
brought to Darien; there is the place to
buy Christmas presents.
Personal.
