A Turn Pika Road between Talbotton ami
Geneva will enhance the internist of this town

it is to the interest of all the people *f the coun

to have this road, liuild it and we *an have a
cotton market in Talbotton ! Build it aud two
mnlea can pull six brie* of the staple to the

will be saved the trouble of hauling their cotton

A ( nrlom Incident in tti Life of
Btouewall Jacktou.
A ewimpcmdent ot the Richmond Dispatch
writ*w ae follow* : It was Great Frederick who
in the midst of hi* wonder on* military career
told an admirer bow every battle hung on con
• ingencm* so seemmiy trifling that they Ccuid
n* ither be fortvseeti nor prodvided for ; and the
remark has often occurred to me in connection
with an incident iu the life of Gen. Jackson,
which has to tar es'-aped hi biographers, and
which illustrates the e<;O ii uncertainty of the
destinies of men aud armies.
What follows may to* relied on a* absolutely
autht-ntie ; imhwd. it I mistake not, Colonel
(tlien Captain) Wyatt M. Elliott and Captain
Bossi**ux. of th< Richmond Grays, took part in
the episode.
In the spring of 1601 there were stationed
around Norfolx many of the crack volunteer in
fantry r.uinpauit.s of the Btbta, and these were
formed iwto the I weltb itegiiumf by Gov. Let
ch* r, and I>. A. ’Veisiger, of Petersburg, was
corn mi aci imed as the coloael. Shortly aft< r
warda an order was issued from Htu e headquar
ternsssi ;sing Li a ensut-Cclonel I J.J.ickaon to
this commnnd, aud directing him to report to
Norfolk for duty. Thia uew*. being commuui
cated by the c< lowel to the company officers,
was received with great indignation, and a
consultation wan held to determine what should
le done to prevent the execution of the obnox
ious order. In the tost plica, the officers wi re
varv triitoiou* of their " roluntecr” right to st
ir ct their own snj eriors ; and in the second
pla' e, there happen- and to t* iu the regiment
Mrveisal petleuuu who hud r**centiy gnvduatsd
at tie Vigihin .Military Institute, and who
brought from tht-uce the prevalent, aud by no
mcaiiH flattonng. estimate of J ackson’s cbaract* r
and abthfics. Their unfavoiable r**poit of him,
backed by inatauces of liia eccentricitie* and
ascetic diH|Kition, confirmed and inflamed the
objection first mad** to a stranger, and the and
of the matter was a letter to Governor Letch* r
pr*'touting against the assignment and asking
for ita revocation. After some hesitation the
Governor complied, and giving Jackson another
field of duty, launched him forth on that path
of fame now so well known of all ineu.
The Tw*-lth regiment remained at Norfolk
during 'Ol, and was still inactive in the follow
lug spring, when thair rejected ltoutenant-aolom-1
entered upon that campaign in the Valley which
hue no parallel iu American warfare t r its
brilliance and force. In the summer campaign,
the regiment t*Mk efficient part, aud at Ciamp
tons gap. Fielding 7kylor, the gallant aud ac
complished officer who came to us iu the place
of the rejected licut* naut-colon l ns kill. and
but ere then Jackson hud b oom# famous, hud
l*ecn promoted to coniuiad of hall the army,
hud c -me to l known as L* '* ii;ht rm, mi.!
was filling a giant s place* iu the uiiwds o’ friend
and foe. Ami often, then and after wards, on
the inuvohund around thccamp-Sre was the talk
