Tribute of Respect. Camp Lamar Cobb, Nov. 14, 1863. At a meeting held this day, in Camps, by the “Early Hussars” and “Miller Rangers,” Orderly E. D. Lee was called to the Chair, and Private 0. 11. Davis re quested to act as Secretary, when the fol lowing Preamble and resolutions were adopted: Whereas, It 'has pleased Almighty God, in his wisdom, to remove* by death, our friend aud fellow-Soldier, Private G. W. Odom ; therefore be it Resolved, That while we humbly submit to the dealings of an Alwise Providence, yet we much deplore the early loss of our . friend and brother in arms. 2. Resolved, That in tlm death of G. W. Odom the country has lost a good citi ■ zeu and Soldier, the Church a pious mem ber, and the Squadron a social companion. 3. Resolved, That we heartily sympa thise with the bereaved family of the de ceased, whose irreparable loss is, we hope and believe, to be his eternal gain, and commend them to Him who protecteth the widow and orphan. 4. Resolved, That we request the Secre tary to forward a copy of these Resolutions to the family of the deceased, and that a copy be also sent tc the Earl'y County News for publication. E. D. Lee, Ch’n. 0. H. Davis, Scc’y. Rags for the News. Wc desire very much to procure a quan tity of Clean Cotton & Linen Rajs, that we may obtain a sufficiency of paper to coutinue the News through another volume, which we will be unable,to do.without we can get Rags to exchauge for paper. Wc appeal, then, to the lady readers of the News to forward us all the Rags they have on hand, and save us still more. We will certainly be under many obligations for large or small quantities, and besides wi|l pay ten cents per lb. Then let us have Rags, and coutinue our paper. Lookout for the X. There being a number of subscribers on our books whose times will soon expire, and whose subscriptions have been charged to the former Editor of the.Acws, we have concluded to notify them of the approach ing expiration .of their subscriptions by annexing an X. opposite their names on their papers, which will denote that their subscriptions will expire in three weeks. Then lookout for the X, aud renew your subscriptions. * Richmond, Nov. 13. —The President i t s now .occupied in the preparation of his annual message to Congress. It is a very important document, and will be more ex tensively read than any public communica tion which has yet emanated from the Executive. Most of the heads ot Depart ments have made their annual reports and . submitted them to the President. _ The recommendation from the Secreta ry of the Treasury will be looked for with great interest, as it will foreshadow the action of Congress on the subject ot finan ces. ' . ' Perfect quietude prevails, amounting to absolute dullness, but it is regarded as a calm which precedes a storm. A flag of truce boat is expected at City Point to-morrow. Atlanta, Nov. 14.—Nothing from the front. A party of Georgia State troops and Indians, on the line between Georgia and North Carolina, killed the notorious Bryson aud 34 of his gang. We are informed, by one of the partici pants, that Bryson, the notorious bush whacker and tory, who has so long trou bled the people ol Northeast Georgia aud North Carolina, was killed in his residence in N. 0., some time ago, by Capt. I). M. Young's command, under Col. G. W • Lee, aided by a band of Indians. He was shot in five places, and instantly killed. The fiatne command also hung and shot thirty four of his command. Wc understand that Northeast Georgia is now entirely cleared of these traitors, and it is believed that the death of Bryson will effectually stop their entrance into the State for the future. Atlanta lutellijencer. ♦ •»- ♦ —- — An exchange of death records has been effected between the two Governments, North and South. These records embrace •he names of all soldiers on both sides, who have died in prison. The records oi the Libby prison ha,<* been sent North, and the officials have been looking for the re turn list. When they arrive they will be bulletined for the information of friends of soldiers and the public. 1 ♦ ♦ The leading hotels in New \ ork city have raised their prices for board. Gen. Toombs and the Senatorship. The Augusta Chronicle, of the 9th, an nounces that it is understood that Hon. Robert Toombs (who is nowin Milledge ville) “ will accept the office of Confeder ate States Senator if offered to him.” That is a very condescending announce ment on the part of Gen. Toombs’ friends, certainly in view of his course when elect ed Senator by the last Legislature, lie is “ understood ” to have then declined in a 'huff because Senator Hill received a vote, indicating that he was the more popular candidate for the other term. Why should Gen. Toombs be pressed in to service as Senator, oi; the State be con gratulated on his willingness to accept the position ? lias his course, since the pres ent troubles commenced, been such as to exalt him above other men for his patriot ism or sacrifice of selfish' feeling on the al tar of liis country ? It is “ understood” that his retirement from the army was caus ed by disappointments or piques such as other Generals have generously overlooked for the good of the service; and his disre gard of the general patriotic course of our planters in raising but little cotton in 1862 is too well kuowu to be more than called to mind. If ail our Generals aud our planters had acted in these matters as Gen. Toombs did, would we now have had any Confederate, States Senator to elect'/ Columbus Enquirer. 4 —*—* Yankee Doodle and the English Rams. Yankee self-importance is strikingly il lustrated by a wood-cut in Frank Leslie’s newspaper. The picture represents a lar<re conservatory, the glass windows of which are fractured in sevefd places. Yankee doodlea respectable looking gentleman with a bell crovvued hat, appears in the attitude of arresting a chubby little, hull-headed urchin, who has been shying little iron clad rams at the conservatory. Doodle holds a ram in his right hand, which he has just taken from the little culprit, whom he holds by the collar with his left. The latter, terrified out of his wits, is endeavor ing to conceal a ram which he was about to throw behind his back, while in the back ground is seen a figure with the imperial nose and goatee retiring from the scene at a Bull Run pace. The following dialogue explains the design of the Yankee artist: Uncle Ram —Now, you young rascal, Bull, I’ve caught you. If you dare to lire another I’ll lam you! You’ve done enough mischief already, but I’ll make your moth er pay every cent of it.” Hull —“ Oh, sir I—please sir! It wasn’t me! ” Restoring the Union. The brutal Federal soldiery, and their more brutal officers, have a grytt way of “ restoring the Union.” Here is a sample of their deeds in Mississippi, committed during their late raid iu the vicinity of Holly Springs : Ou their retreat passing through Wyatt they burned every house in the place, and would not permit any of the sufferers to save anything, not even, wearing apparel. In the Western portion of the country through which they retreated they burned all the residences and barns. They also destroyed the little town of Tallaloosa, six miles west of I lolly Springs. Thosmo/fce of as many as fifteen or twenty fires could plainly be seen ali along the route of their retreat, and it is believed not a single res idence or barn in that part of the country has escaped them. ♦ It was reported that a Mississippi plan ter named Myers had ta/ren the oath of al legiance to Lincoln. That gentleman spea/os for himself in a letter to a friend thus: “I am informed that it is reported that I had ta/reu the oath to the Liueolu Government. Should such a report reach you, you may give it the lie. Nothing short of death will induce me to submit to such degradation. Let property go, but let me preserve a good conscience, and nev er be guilty of an act which might at some future day cause a sou of’ mine to hang his head and blush at the mention of my §ame when lam gone. No never. 1 have five sous in the Confederate army, who 1 hope are discharging their duty manfully." lion. Hines Holt, member of Congress from the 3d Congressional 1 fistriet, has resigned. He says : “ This step has been ta/ren in deference to yoqr right to be more ably, more efficiency, and, especially, more acceptably represented.” Tills will require an election to he held between this and the uext meeting of Congress, iu order to fill the unexpired term of Mr. llolt. The Abolitionists at Charlestown, Mtl., undertook to hold a Union meeting a few days since. Some persons in the neighbor hood did not li/ve the plan, and therefore threw eggs at the speakers. course, closed up their eloquence, aud the meeting also. An Artesian Well, near Cahaba, Alaba ma, yields eight hundred gallons of water per minuce. It once yieleded seventeen hundred gallons per minute.' All the property in Nashville, belonging i * to persons iu Dixie, is being confiscated, j New recruits under Lincoln’s last call for troops are to receive 8352 dollars botm* ty. Veterans will receive SIOO more. ♦ t It is stated tha’t there is not corn and hay enough in some of the Western States to feed the stock the coming winter. Gen. Win. T. Sherman has been ap pointed to the commaud of the Federal ar my of Tennessee. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Notice to Advertisers.
