'--KE-1. 1 HE CARROLL COUNTWtIMES. VOL. XIV. The Eighth Kentucky at Pear] River. From Southern Bivouack for October.; After the fall of Vicksburg General Joseph E. Johnston, with his little army, fell back to Jack son, Misissippi. Buford’s brigade, Loring’s divis ion, composed of the Twelfth Louisiana (Colonel Scott), Third Kentucky (Colonel Thompson), Seventh Kentucky (Colonel Cross land), and Eighth Kentucky (Colo nel Lyon), in the order named, from right to left, held the exheme right of Johnston’s army, which rested on the west bank of Pearl Ki ver. The river swept round to the southeast. The three right regiments, occupying breastworks in the edge of a cornfield, extend sti <ll t line duo north and south, and were faced to the west. In front of these regiments, in the woods, i an a deep gully that chang ed direction near tha left ot the Seventh Kentucky, making tc the southwest an angle of about seven ty degrees with the north and south line. Across this gully, two hundred yards southwest from the point of the angle, was a pass or defile wide enough to permit a reg iment in column of division? to march through. The Eighth Kentucky, one hundred ami fifty strong, was thrown forward on a bare knoll, with orders “to hold that pass at hazards.” On July 11, 1863, heavy col umns of the enemy had massed in the woods in front of the pass, and, to unfold r.hoir position, two com panies of the Eighth Kentucky, under command of Lieutcnaut- Colonel A. R. Shacklett, wcie de ployed as skirmishers five hundred yards in front of the pass. These skirmishers found the enemy lying down in column, with bayonets fix ed, and when Colonel Shacklett gave the command, “Skirmishers in retreat,” the enemy rose, cheer ing, and charged nt double quick. Th‘e skirmishers rallied ata run upon the pass und received a volley while executing “into line, faced to the rear,” and formed in the regi ment on the knoll, without cover. The enemy advanced, firing. The Eighth Kentucky held its fire till the enemy neard the pass ami was about sixty yards distant, when it delivered a most destructive volley. The enemy recoiled under it, but for a moment only, when they ral lied and advanced, tiring until within sixty feet, whore the oppos ing hues stool fighting fae to fare and almost ham' to hand for ft a minutes. The enemy wavered ami jgtuhbornly retired into tin- pa-s. — The Eighth Kentucky v>as then .ordered, “Backward march, ten paces—-lie down—mad,” which movement they executed with ad mirable coolness and stvadimss, placing tbemselvc.> under cover of the knoll, on which lay the C- n federate dead and dying. But s'oon the enemy showed there "as more work to be done, and came rushing forward with loud cheers. Just as their heads began to pop up oVcr the Confederate slain, Col onel Lyon commanded, “Rise up— forward—commence firing,” which order Colonel Shacklett repeated, adding, if the trur’n must be told. “Charge them, G—d — them! ’ and the regiment did charge into the pass; and the enemy, thus splendidly repulsed, fled to the woods beyond, leaving the Eighth Kentucky in possession of the knoll, and seventy-five of the Second Michigan tying dead upon the field. The conflict was between one hundred and fifty men on one side and one thousand on the other. Immediately after the engagement Lietenant-colonel Shacklett report ed to General Loring, who intro duced him to General Johnston, who to<>|< the gallant Colonel s in both his own, spying, -‘Colonel Shacklett, give me your hand; you have made the most heroic tight of the war.” It was a merite I com ment, for that gallant resist mce to overwhelming numbers prevented a great disaster, and possibly .-aved the army of General Johnston. The Runaways. 7roni “Walmogancli” in Southern Bivfraac. We ha’-e never seen story i; . I’Hiit. It is attribut ) Colonel A. S. Colyar, of Tennessee, and is illustrative of the force of habit : A well-to-do old farmer, in one of the best cou rites of Middle Ten nessee, owned a large nun)her of slaves, and among them one old darky about disown age, and whom he had known all his life. In fact, he was one of the “old family ne groes” brought out from Virginia. Cid “Sam” was a faithful, docile creature, a great favorite with his master, and a sort of a privileged character on the plantation. The old fellow was industrious and ex emplary in his behavior all the year round, except during that period dating fram the time when roasting ears begin to ripen and the earliest appearance of frost. Sam was in variably seized at that period with an invincible desire to “run awav,” It recurred as regularly as a fit of “hay fever,” was as incurable, and like that unpleasant disorder could only be treated by a change of air and locality. Sam, understanding this, preferred to take his case in hL own hands and administer the treatment in his own discretion. Os course, in such a case, the usual punishment inflicted on “runaway niggers” was not to be thought of. Remonstrance was unavailing. Sam declared, “He jes’ couldn’t he’p his sef,” and it became a settled and understood arrangement, that he should go, and that the neighbor hood should condone his raids on corn.fields and potatoe patches.— After many such escapades, his old master asked him on one occasion, when the matter was under discus sion : “Sam, do you really enjoy run ning away?” “'Deed, Marse John,” said Sam, “I does. Hits de nioas’ fun in de wurl’. Coon huntin’aint no whars to hit.” “Well, then,” said Marse John, ‘•just let me know the next time you take a notion to start, and I’ll go with you. and try it awhile my self.” Sure enough, in due season Sam came up, saying: ••Old Marse, de time’s mighty ! nigh when 1 'bleegcd to lite out ; Es you gwinc wid me, you better be gittin’ reddy, lor wh m de time I c .mes I got to go quick.” “Old Marse” kept a bright look out. and when Sam started he was on hand. They had a. delightful time.— They fished occa.Jomdly, caught 1 "possums, robbed orchard.- and wa termelon ami potato patches, pick ed blackberries for re.-i cation, and I • ! haunted the greenest and shadiest cooks of the lore.-r, ail of which • Sam knew well. “Old Marse” had , never enjoyed a summer so much, j li, fact, he was so much pleased; that regular!v afterward lie accom- < par ied Sam when the latter went 1 into annual retreat. At length Sam died. The old master griev ed for him sincerely. He was sad also over the reflection that his summer pastime would in future be denied him. But, to the amaze ment of all his friends, and not less so to himself, when roasting ear time came again tiie fit > seized him as strong as ever, j and he ran away by himself. The trial of Ferdinand Ward, the enterprising financier and part ner of the Grants, is proceeding in Ne.v Fork before Judge Barrett, of the Court of Oyer and Term iner. He is under indictment for procuring $71,000 from the Mar ine Bank under false representa tions. This, of course, is only one of his many crimes,but it is enough to consign him to seveal years im prisonment, should he be con victed. His principal victim—Gen. Grant —is in his grave—dead not I only fr< man eating cancer, but. also, a broken heart. Another— James 1).

CARROLLTON. GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 6, 1885. ; Repulse of Wilson at West p O . it. Georgia. j liom Bivoaic Octo >.«.• A noi r one hundred and forty five old warworn confederates were at the hospital at West Point on the 16th of April, 1865, totally unconscious of General Loe’s surrender on the 9th ins . General Tyler, of Tennessee, j vho had lost a leg at Murfreesboro, was also there sick. About a dozen of Waller’s Charleston, I South Carolina, battery, fourteen lof the Coupee, Louisiana, battery were also there. When the report came that Colonel Griffin, with two regiments of Wilson,s Federal cavalry, a battery, and two thous and men, was marching on them, General Tyler got out on his crutches and commanded all the old soldiers present, who could stand up, to fall in line of battle. |He threw up some hasty breast j works, and divided the ammuni tion among the men, Which amount ed to forty-thee rounds apiece. The enemy charged and were repulsed. General Tyler hobbled on his I crutches along his lines, cueourag-* | ing his men to stand their ground i aha never surrender. Tie took no thought of himself. Seven of his men were killed- The enemy re peated their charge and were driven back again, ami commenced firing from a distance. First ser geant Hearn, the only man there of the First Louisiana Infantry Regulars, C. IS. A., who was then sick and wounded in the log, had his arm shot off. A minie ball struck the noble old General Ty ler, who was standing a few paces in the rear of the Sergeant, and passed through the center of his forehead, killing him instantly. Then Captain Gonzales, of Pensa cola, fell. Colonel Gillespie then took command and fought with this poor little remnant of the Confederacy till their ammunition gave out, and the Federal?, finding there was no return to their fire, charged over the work and its biavo defenders. They then heard for the first time, from their cap tors, that they were fighting after the war was over. Th :r loss was about twenty killed and wounded: the encmj ’s about forty five. Ihe I ederals, on finding who they were fighting, took good care of the wounded and returned the sick to the hospital. There was not a man among them who had not borne the hardship of four years of war, and had faced death in many shapes. Ibis was only a little skirmish; nobody ha thought it worth while to mention it till now, some twenty years afTr. This tale is told by one of tho old boys, How to Administer Medicine to Swine. If the medicine can not be given in his food, as when he has no ap* petite, or is in great pain, it must be administered direct. To do this is quite difficult, and most farmers give it up, or adopt the Homeopathic treatment, because it is so much easier. When properly managed, it is not very hard cither for the pig or the attendant. The pig is caught by a slip-nodse in a strong lope, which goes through; the mouth, and holds back of the tusks. He will pull back with all I his might, and the rope must Ijp , made fast quite short, to the top of ( a post or fence, I hen Ins lev’s ’re I secured so that he can not spring forward. N »wif an old shoe with a hole in the toe is given to him to chew upon, he will champ away upon it as angrily as possible, and the medicine <tan be poured into his mouth through it—a littk at a' time, or he will choke, ami stran gle, and cough. Another way is to hold the pig in the same wav. or as for ringing, and to pour the medicine into one nostril, through an oil can,such as is used for oiling machinery. Either of these meth ods render it possible to give medi cine to a pig as effectually as to any animal, and it is not probable that his rage will have any evil effect, as in the case of a strugglm o ' child. Ameiican Agriculturist for November. , The Bwagger of ! Newspapers.— The Jaiion of good bTeeding whica requires that a man snail not pe,ic ! U’vte himself is evi demly susp. hded in the case of newspapers, which do certainly blow the laosl prolonged blasts upon their own tmmpets, and in the most resonant manner tell a listening world of their en terprise and pulliu spirit, and their super iority to all' competiorj. We learn from the papers themselves of the immense interest which their artic les awaken, and of the general re cognition of tyc fact that their news is fresher and more spicy than that of any rival, and that the social or other movement which they have initiated is proceeding prosperously to trumyh, and that the President, or the Governor, or Congress, has wisely heeded the advice which they have given. The excellent jour.mis attest their own fidelity to principle ‘and re ligon, and t give ns their word that they act upon the highest motives. Now the boaster, as we have al ready seen, may be the hero that he describes. The Gascons gave their name to gasconade, but they were doughty fellows notwithstand ing, and if Pinkney was solicitous about his frills and cravats, he was none the less peeiless in debate. The journal which trumpets its own energy, enterprise, and pros perity may be merely telling the truth, and there is is one considera tion which seems to absolve the proprietor or the editor as such from the obligation of social comtiy wliieb rests upon him as a man. The sainc person who, as editor prietor. brags and boasts like a quack doctor or cheap jack upon | the comic stage, shall be in private intercourse a very Mercutio, the most urbane and modest of gen tlemen. He brags professional! v, not personally. He swaggers and dogmatizes not as Snug the joiner, but as the lion, in the play that he has undertaken to perform. As your guest he would shrink and blush to assert truculently that he is superior to anybody at the table. But as the editor or proprietor he does not hesitate to announce in the most strident type, so to speak, that he altogether outstrips all his comrades of the press. Why docs he do it? Simply be cause nobody else will do it for him.. It is essential for the success of his journal that its character should be known. But beyond quarrelling with an esteemed contemporary, aid complimenting it upon a new font of type, one journal takes little notice ot an other, They arc rivals, and as their profits arise largely from the receipts for advertising, they do not advertise each other for noth ing. and consequently each must advertise itself. All the blowing of the journal’s trumpet in honor of its own energy, enterprise, su periority, etc., etc., is advertise ment. The brag and boast are meielv professional, like'the swag ger of the actor in ids part; and as the player lays swagger aside with the costume of the character, and appears to you, as he essenti ally is, the most quiet and retiring of men—like the admirable come diau, Fmn, tor in tanee, fifty years ago—so the editor leaves rhe robes of his flaming—self-puffery behind him in his office, and emerges the most genial and simple of men. < It is plainly as unjust, therefore, to suppose that the editor who cel ebrates his paper so exuberantly is the most ridiculously conceited and ill-mannered of men, as to suppose that, because Mr. Jefferson is Rip Van Winkle upon the stage, he is constantly sitting about upon ta bles in private life, and drinking' your health and your family’s in evxu’-renewed bumpers.—George sVu'iam Curtis, in Harper’s Maga zine for November. How a Home May Be Started. As a rule, wealth is the result of industry, and attention to business; and, as a rule, poverty is the result of idleness, extravagance, and in attention to business, though to these rules there are thousands of exceptions- The man who has wasted his time, who has thrown away his opportunities, is apt to envy the man who has not. For instance, here are six shoemakers working in one shop. One of them attends to his business; you can hear the music of hie hams mer late and early; he is in love, it may be. wit h a girl on the next street; be has made up hip mind to be. a man, to succeed, to make somebody else happy, to have a home; and while he is working, in his imaginatic mhe can see his own fireside, with the light falling upon the faces of wife and child. Tne other five gentlemen work ar I little as they can, spend Sunday in dissipation, have the headache Monday, and, as a result never advance. The industrious one, the one in love, gains the confidence of his employer, and in a little while he cuts out work for the other fel lows. The first thing yon know he has a shop of his own, the next a store, because the man of reputa ton, the man of character, the mau of known integrity, can buy all he wishes in the I nited States upon credit. The next thing you know he is married, and has built him a house. He is happy and his dream is realized. After a while the same five shoemakers, having pursued the old course, stand upon the corner some Sunday when he rides by. He has a car- riage, his wife sits by his side, her face covered with smiles, and they have two children, their faces beaming with joy and their blue ribbons fluttering in the wind, and thereupon these five shoemakers ad journ to some neighboring saloon and pass a resolution that there is an irrepressible conflict between capital and labor. The editor of the Wayside says:“A friend hands us the following table. Who complied it, we know not. It teaches us a wonderful lesson as to the value of little saving: Cts. a day. Per Year. Ten Years Fifty Years SIO.OO $130.00 $2,900.00 20.00 260.00 5,800.00 11 40.00 520.00 11,600,00 27| 100.00 1,300.00 29,000.00 55 200.00 2,600.00 59,000.00 SI.OO 400.00 5,200.00 116,000.00 “By the above it appears that if a person saves onlj 2| cents per day. from the time he is twen--’ ty till he is seventy, the aggregate, with interest, will amount to $2, 900, and a daily saving of 27|cents reaches the important sum of $29, 000, A sixpence saved daily will provide a fund of nearly $7,000. There are few employed who cannot save daily, by abstaining from the use of tobacco, cigars, liquor, etc., twice or ten times the amount of the six cent piece.” One very good way for a family to save is to have a good and economical cooking stove and plain and wholesome food, well prepared. The stomach performs a very important part in the economy of humanity, and wives who are forgetful of this fact commit a serious mistake. Should Orchards Be C.ultayated? This is evidently one of those questions that admit of a variable answer. In other words, a practice which may be the best for one or chard, may not be so for another, because the conditions are far from being uniform. To keep the ground in an orchard constantly under cultivation, and producing crops which are removed annually, will soon exhaust the fertility of the richest soil, unless some kind of fertilizer is returned to make good the amount taken away. The fre quent stirring of the soil, breaking up, disintegrating, and pulverizing, are beneficial operatioFs, for, by keeping the surface open and loose, we aid the admission of air and mosture, both of which contain cer tain elements which are absorbed by the roots and go far towards making up the bulk of aL cultiva ted plants. But as a rule, or chardists do not think that they can afford to plow, harrow, and keep down noxious weeds in the orchard for no other purpose than to benefit the trees and improve the quantity and quality of the fruit; consequently, when they plow, it must be for the purpose of sowing or planting, and the orchard is kept constantly occupied with some annual farm crop, or seeded down to clover or grass. To sow grain of any kind in an orchard, except on very moist soils, or in a humid climate, seldom fails to check thegiowthof the trees, because the growing grain will take the moisture from the soil at the very time the trees need it most. —A.

Uncle Anderson Smith the old- est man we suppose in the county, is lying at or near the point of death, he was 97 years old the 12th of last July. On the 21st inst. Mrs Sallie Smith, the widow of Joseph Smith, and daughter of J. D. Kuglar, a lady highly respected by all: with a character unblighted and unstain ed, was on her way to her fa thers to visit Mrs. E. AV. Harper, and had not gone but little over half way, the whole distance not being over one half mile when she was attacked, overpowered and ravished by an unknown demon in the form of a man. After the de mon had perpetrated his brutal act upon the poor, sick, and help less woman he broke through the woods and made his escape from a large crowd, who soon after the crime, heard the news, left their ;work and did what they could to intercept him. The writer ol this, was in one hundred yards of the place where the erime was commit* ed, and was prevented from hear ing Mrs. Smith’s efforts to scream bv the demon holding his hand over her mouth. Kill a Cranky. agww— Take Care of Your Animals. Live stock are to be our especial watch and care for the coining four months at least. We need to win ter them as economically as possi ble, yet have them* all the time gaining. No animal is profitable at a standstill. Stock wintered on the warmest side of a corn-stack, and coming out “spring-poor.” are in no condition to make good re turns during the summer. At this season, look especially to the com fortableness, of their quarters, that they may be easily cleaned, warm, and well-aired when need. Alter ations that will facilitate foddering, littering, and clearing out, should be planned and carried out at once. Tight board walls, or any others, are a much cheaper source of warmth than much feeding, so fal as neat cattle, horses in use, pigs, and poultry are concerned. Hors es and sheep with comfortable shel ter, out of the rain, and well roofed, will bear any degree of cold they ate likely to be subject to, if they aave enough to eat, and the ques tion of economy depends on the irice of hay and corn, and of him* jer and boards. Food consumed merely to man tain animal heat, de ducting the value of the resulting manure, is a dead loss. Ueevcs, sheep, and pigs gain very rapidly if well fed this month. The brac ing air sharpens apetites, and the variety of rich feed is greater now than at any other time-of the year. They should be crowded, but not over-fed. Nason C Weld, in A merican Agriculturist for Nov. “Worthy and dutiful sons-in-1 law make loving and sweet-temper ed mothers-in-law.” This rule holds good in nine cases out of ten, and certainly that fact makes it a pretty good one. It would be well for every young man, who is about to take upon himself the important and happy relation of son-in-law, to write the above rule on the table of his memory, and redouble the joys and lighten the sorrows of lite by so conducting himself as to be at once and for all times deserving lof the love and confidence of the mother of the wife of his bosom.—Ex. : rgji | I fi 101 IjjW I : I -- IlTfilfj k BEST TOMIC. ?
