The Lone Sentry.
The following beautiful lines were
indited by Mr. Jas. R. Randall upon
the death of General T. J. Jackson.
The circumstances which occasioned
the poem were these. Gen. Jackson’s
troops after a long and weary march,
were so much fatigued that when a
halt was ordered almost every man
was asleep. Toe noble old Hero
guarded the camp alone that night:
’Twas in the dying of the day,
The darkness grew so still,
The drowsy pipe of evening birds
Was hushed upon the hill.
Athwart the shadows of the vale,
Slumbered the men of might,
As one lone sentry paced his round
To guard the camp that night.
A gravS and solemn man was he,
With deep and sombre brow,
The dreamful eyes seemed hoarding up
Some unaccomplished vow.
His wistful glance peered o’er the plain
Beneath the starry light.
As with the murmured name of Gkd
lie watched the camp that night.
The future opened unto him
Its grand and awful scroll;
Manasses and the valley march,
Came heaving over his soul.
Richmond and Sharpsburg thundered by.
With that tremendous fight
Which gave him to the angel hosts,
Who watched the camp that night.
We mourn for him who died for U3
With one resistless moan,
While up the Valley of the Lord,
He marches to the throne.
He kept the faith of men ands hits,
Sublime, and pure, and bright;
He-sleeps, and all is well with him
Who watched the -camp that night.
Brothers, the midnight cf the cause
Is shrouded in our fate ;
The demon Goths pollute our soil
With fire, and lust, and hate ;
Be strong, be valliant, be assured,
iStr ke home for Heaven and right!
The soul of Jackson stalks abroad
And guards the camp to n ght !
Fron the Franklin News.
A Bit of my Experience in
Early Life.
BY GKEEXIE. •
Mr. Editor : Thinking perhaps a
short chapter in my early experience
might be interesting to some of my
youthful friends, with your permis
sion here goes.
Now, my young friends, I shall
never forget my first suit of fine
clothes, and my first offort towards
love making. I was just passing out
of my teens, and after giving the mat
rimonial subject much consideration
and thought, I concluded that I must
marry. Well, I had a full team of big
fat sisters, and the gals around in the
settlement would very often come in
to spend the night with ’em. This
pleased me very much ; it made me
feel very good to see them about,
yet I was as Iraki of them as if they
were Tegular man-eaters. If I saw
one of them look at me, (especially
Tildy Grubbs, whom I had a special
hankering for.) I would jump and
dodge p.s though I had been struck at
with a sythe blade. But they knew
how to manage me, and very soon I
wa> as gentle as a pet colt. I was
then on the other extreme: I stuck
to them close and closer. \\ hen I
got by the side of one she might flat-,
ter herself that she had good compa
ny for a siege.
Now, daddy and mammy pretty
soon discoverd that I had gal on the
brain, smartly ; so, after consultation,
they concluded to dress me up and
put me out in the courting business
right, in good style. Well, daddy
went to Franklin, bought me a mink
skin cap and a pair of red brogan
shoes, while mammy whirled in and
made me a nice frock coat out oi
eome checks she had wove to make
herself a dress. It was white and
blue, four and four, figure G. double
struck in the filling, and struck back
in the warp. I said the style was
that of a frock, yet it differed in some
particulars from the frock; it was
long'-waisted, and very short tail or
skirts, double breasted, very large but
tons covered with same material as
coat ; the skirt was gathered very
full, when buttoned it was very tight,
and the ladies now a-days with the
Grecian bend remind me very forci
bly of my appearance at that time.—
My mammy also made me a pair of
nice copperas pants to go with my
coat and other new thin gs.
I was highly pleased with my out
fit, and almost crazy for another Sun
day to come so I could get inside of
my new suit and go out sparking.—
During the week I would quit my
work occasionally and slip up to the
house and dress up, look around at
myself, feel of my coat and pants, and
talk to them, and really I would have
to pinch myself to know who I was.—
As daddy had no glass, I’d get out in
the sunshine and look at my shadow
and the fit, and my appearance gen
erallv. So, in looking round and
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 18, 1873.
summing up things. I concluded that
red shoes and red pants didn't go very
well together, and took a notion that
black shoes and red pants would be
the very dot, the contrast would be
so good. So I at once commenced
thinking how I should get my shoes
black, and as we bad no shoe black
ing* nor knew nothing about such a
thing, I went to mammy about the mat
ter, and she very soon put me on a
plan , told me to get seme soot off her
little skillet and mix with the white
of an egg, and give them a good
smearing, and they would shine like
a flit nigger’s face. I went to work
and it, as I thought, the very thing I
was needing. My shoes were all
right—N o. 11, and a neat fit.
I was again on tip-toe for Sunday
to come, as I knew when it did eome
my sweet Tildy would come with it,
or Saturday evening before, and so
she did. My copperas pants were of
the latest cut, extra tight; in fact, so
much so that it interfered materially
with my circulation.
Well, sure enough, after a long
time, about six months, Sunday came
and, luckily, Tildy and her brother
Ben. Saturday night befoie. After
shining around Till a good portion of
the night, I went to bed but not to
sleep—no sleep for me, neither could
there be for any one, entertaining as I
did then such flattering hopes tor the
future; so, at 3 o’clock on Sunday
morning I rose, without having slept
one wink, and felt then as tho’ I nev
er would sleep again, and commenced
dressing. This done, and having a
set speech for Till as soon as she was
up, I went at her with the courage of a
peacock. I never felt so good in my
life ; I really concluded I had relig
ion.
I kinder commenced throwing my
chat at Till, aud expected every min
ute for her to pass some compliment
on my new suit, general appearance,
Ac., bus I never heard it, and I soon
began to think there was something
wrong. She wouldn’t talk much, or
notice me at all, but I kept my eye
on her, and very soon I saw her glance
her eye at my feet, and then smile
and bite her lip. This run through
me like a streak of electricity; my
face was as red a beet, and burnt as
though a mustard plaster was spread
over it; so, as soon as I could control
what little sense I had, I looked down
and at once discovered the difficulty.
I usually kept my pants hanging up
on a nail by the wall, and it had
rained while they were hanging there,
and the roof of dad’s house not being
very good, they got wet, and as mam
my forgot to shrink the cloth before
cutting, when they dried they were at
least three inches too short, and lacked
about that much coming down to the
top of my shoes ; so right there and
then I lost my good feelings.
But after awhile I buoyed up, and
resolved to make the best I could of
a bad thing, so I pulled at the legs of
my breeches trying to make them
longer until I made the stitches crack
in many places ; and to make bad mat
ters worse, I had no socks, and there
was my rusty shins exposed, flows
ever, I had to do the best I could, so
I commenced conversation again with
Till, and said as I thought, a great
many sweet things, and to my great
joy she seemed to be very much inter
ested.
About this time I thought I had
about got to the point to tell her I
loved her, but how to do it I didn’t
know ;it was a big job. Finally I
concluded to come at in this way : I
said to her, “I have a good mind to
m 7
slap you !
“Why ?” said she.
“Because I love you,” said I.
“If slaps mean love,” said she, “I
could slap you the balance of my
life!”
Right here I got religion again.—
Things began to progress finely, and
pretty soon Till and Ben began flx>
ing to go homo. Till asked mammy
to let Luce go home with her, which
was just the thing for me. I knew
Ben would go for Luce, and I would
stick to Till. Mammy consented, aud
very soon off we set for Till’s house,
me and mine in front.
After going some distance, and
neither of us being very loquacious, I
kinder run aground for gab. We
had a pretty good game of dummy.—
The more I tried to think, the less I
thought. Finally I commenced talk
ing about my activity—how fast I
could run, how far I could jump, turn
summersaults and catch on my back,
and that I never fell down in my
life.
Just as 1 spoke this, I struck a
grub with my broad-toed shoes, (No.
11, and three inches across the the
almost impossible to miss a grub,)
down I came with my breast right
across a root, my hands thrust as
deep into the pockets of my tight
pants as I could get them.
Well, there I was, balanced on that
root- an nicely as von ever saw anv
merchant’s counter scales, hands fast
in my pockets, pants so tight I could
scarcely move ; so I commenced kick
ing and trying to turn over. Some
limes I would get nearly over, and
then balance back ; but finally in tlie
scuffle I ripped my pants, got my
hands out, and then rose, snorting. I
blowed a lew times, andlooked around
lor TilL When I saw her she was
standing off with one finger in her
mouth, and a death grin on her lace.
I run up to her and told her I was the
best fighter she ever saw, and that I
could whip her or anybody else that
laughed at me, quicker than no time.
She patted me on the shoulder and
said I could turn over faster and get
up quicker than anybody. This quie
ted me down smartly, and we struck
off again for Till’s house.
All the while Luce and Ben were
almost bursting their sides ; and right
there I swore if Luce and I ever got
back home I would whip her good,
and I would have done it, too, if dad
hadn’t pulled me oft’ her.
But back to the walk : I got along
very well the balance of the way, ex
cept we were caught in a shower of
rain and all got wet, and unfortunate
ly for me I was knock-kneed, and
when we got to Till’s house I went in
and sat down, crossed my legs, aud,
to my great horror, I found that the
blacking w r as off of my shoes and on
my pants. My soot and eggs didd’t
stick ; my shoes had got wet, and be
ing knock-kneed, every step I would
swipe my shoes against my pants, so
I then had red shoes again and black
pants, and again I fell from grace. I
looked as though I had been wrest
ling with somebody’s dinner pot. I
got up and shook myself and started
for mammy’s.
But this was not all; my minksskia
cap got wet, and when I got to Till’s
house and got to the fire it began to
smoke and send out its stench—in
fact, the whole room was soon filled
with its odoriferous sweets, which
caused a general suee: ing and blows
ing. I swore again that when I got
home I would burn that cap, recon
sidered the matter as I journeyed
home, and concluded to hold on to
the cap, and try in the future to keep
it dry.
When I landed home my mammy
at once discovered my red shoes and
black pants. She bawled out at me,
and said, “Green, I thought you was
too old and had too much sense to be
climbing burnt stumps and ruin your
fine pants in that way.”
“Yes,” said I, “you are right about
my sense, but this change m shoes
and pants is the result of your soot
and eggs—your good shoe blacking.’
I advised her in the future to eat her
eggs, and try something for blacking
shoes that would stick better.
However, I continued to press my
suit with Tildy, and finally we mar
ried, and have now been living togeth
er very disagreeably tor many years.—
Sixteen of ray boys have worn the
mink-skin cap, and it is yet good and
hung up, waiting to be banded down
to the next generation.
Singular and llorkibre Death.—
We copy the following sad story from
the Washington (Ga.,)Ga?ett e of the
13th iust., and hope it may admonish
all to avoid a similar experiment:
A young man named Turner, liv
ing near Danburg, in this county,
died on Saturday after a few days ill
ness, and it is supposed from the fol
lowing singular cause: Some days
previous to his attack he assisted in
the disinterment of a corpse, for the
purpose of removal to another place
of burial. The body had been buried
some months and was exceedingly ofs
fensive when the grave was opened.
Young Turner began to complain of
head ache and other symptoms soon
after the removal, and in a tew davs
became seriously ill, and died on Sat
urday. He complained during bis en
tire illness of smelling and even tast
ing tlie horrible effluvia arising from
the corpse. It is supposed that this
effluvia or exhalation penetrated and
saturated his entire system, thus poi
soning his blood and causing death.
We hear that a brother of his is also
very ill irom the same cause, though
we do not know that the report is aus
tlieutic.
tST A life-long intimate triend of
Louis Napoleon says: “Dissimulation
was a study, and he carried it to the
extent of disguising his features. His
long mustache was intended to con
ceal his mouth, and he had disciplined
his eyes. This latter practice began
in 1848. Madame R. in that year no
liced a change in them, and asked him
what was the matter. ‘Nothin^, ’ he
answered. A day or tiro later she
again remarked their odd appearance,
and at last she discovered, apparent
ly by his own confessiou, that he had
been accustoming himself to keep his
eyelids closed, and to throw into his
eyes a vacant, dreamy expression
From the Randolph Enterprise,
Georgia Western R. R.
At a meeting composed of citizens
of Randolph county, Alabama, held
for the purpose of considering what
could be done to induce the location
of the Georgia Western Railroad on
a line by way of Wedowee, Ala, the
lollowing proceedings were had, viz:
On motion of William E. Connelly,
David A. Perryman, Esq., was called
to tlie chair, and Robert 11. Bolt re
quested to act as secretary.
On motion of tlie Hon. Robert S.
Heflin, ex-Govemor William H. Smith
was requested to explain the object
of the meeting, which lie did in a
brief but eloquent and elaborate man
n er.
On motion of Rev. W. A. Burton,
a committee of five was appointed to
draft resolutions expressing the opin
ion and desire of this meeting.
The committee reported tlie follow
ing resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted, to-wit:
W hereas, The citizens of Randolph
county, Ala., have viewed with pleas
ure the efforts of the Georgia Western
Railroad Company and citizens of At*
lanta, Georgia, to connect that city
with the cities oi Talladega and Birm
ingham, Ala.
And whereas, it is the undivided
opinion of this meeting that said rail-*
road connection, when completed,
will be of great commercial advantage
to each of the above named cities, and
will be of great importance in stimu
lating agricultural and other enter
prises, and developing the various min
eral resources of the iminediate section
of country through which it will pass.
And, whereas, the city of Atlanta
will be required to furnish the greater
part of the money necessary to con
struct said road, it is right and proper
that the road should be so located as
to subserve the best interests of that
city, thus remunerating her for the
money to be expended, by making
her the principal market for the larg
est producing area of country possi
ble—especially if the cost ot construc
tion is not thereby increased.
And, whereas, it i-, the opiniou of
this meetihg that by way of Wedowee,
thence by or near Lineville, in Clay
County, and to Talladega, is the best
route for this road; that it will cost
less money to construct it on this than
any other proposed line.
This route will control the trade of
a larger portion of country, and one
capable of, and now producing, more
than any other through which a route
is proposed.
It will make Atlanta the market for
the entire counties of Randolph and
Clay, and nearly as much of Cleburne
as any other proposed route ; while
south of the line it will draw all the
trade of Heard county, Georgia, west
of the Chattahoochee River. It will
be in fair competition with the Mont
gomery and West Point and the Sa
vannah and Memphis roads for the
trade of the northern part of Cham
bers and Tallapoosa counties, thus
over compensating for the slight di*>
version by way of Wedowee, to say
nothing of the topography of the
country which will furnish easier and
cheaper grades than any other route
We venture the assertion, and ap
peal to the tax books of the country
to sustain us, that the road by We
do wee will furnish more trade and
freight for the road, and throw more
business into Atlanta, in one year
than any other proposed line north
of it would in five.
Os course we refer to that portion
of the line between Carrollton and
Talladega.
We gather this information from
many of tlie oldest and most intellis
gent citizens who are well acquainted
with all of the proposed routes, and
in order to have what we herein set
tortli verified, be it resolved by this
meeting.
1. That the authorities of the city
of Atlanta be respectfully and earns
estly invited to send a committee of
her principal busines- men to examine
the various proposed routes, and re
port wehther or not the facts are as
we have stated them.
2. That in the event the road is to
be built on the line indicated in the
foregoing preamble, we pledge our
selves to materially aid in its construc
tion.
3. That this premamble and resolu
tion be published in the Randolph
Enterprise, and that copies be furnish
ed the Mayor, City Council and the
Chamber of Commerce of the cities
cf Atlanta, Ga., Talladega and Birm
ingham, Ala.
4. That this meeting adjourn to
meet at Wedowee on Monday the
14th day of July next, and that the
citizens of Clay, Talapoosa and
Chambers, Alabama, and Heard coun
ty, Georgia, who are interested in tlie
road iis we propose, be invited to at
tend, and that the city of Atlanta be
requested to send a representative to
attend in the interest of that city.

North & South Railroad.
A called meeting of the Stockhold
ers of the North & South Railroad
was held in Columbus on the 2nd
instant. From the President’s report
we clip the following:
Since tlie organization in August,
1871, the company have completed,
and in excellent running order, 20
miles of road, graded 40 miles addi
tional ; surveyed, 118 ; located, 80 ; se
cured right of way, 88. Outfit con
sists of one locomotive, two passenger
cars, one baggage, tour boxes and
twelve flat cars. From September
Ist, 1872, to May 31st the earnings
were : From freight, $5,332.43 ; pas.
senger, $6,138.55; mail service,
$264: total $11,735.46, Operating
expenses (not including the mouth ot
May,) $6,467. 73.
The construction account to May
21st, amounted to $637,022.22; out
fit, sl9, 981.27 ; total $657 903.82.
Paid up subscriptions as follows:
Columbus, $200,000; LaGrange, 25,
000 ; Rome, $100,000; individuals.
$77,089.54 ; total $402,089.54 ; leavs
ing balance due of $254,914.28. The
report says that to pay this balance
and move forward the company mast
look to bonds on the next section,
additional collections and new sub
scriptions. He believes that the next
240 bonds with such aid as can be
secured will complete the road to La-
Grange. A comparison is instituted
with the Mobile and Girard Railroad
to show that with similar good man
- the North & South will be a
much better paying investment for
the city of Columbus, as the short dis
tance already completed gives prom
ise of what may be expected when the
road reaches LaGrange.
The following is the statement of the
Treasurer:
