HALF SHEET.
We present this issue in a half
sheet, for the want of a Typo. Our
spirited young friend Mr. IFm. E.
iGoodwin could no longer he dissua-
,ded from a practical expression of
his ardeut patriotism, and having
within a few days, enlisted under
tCapt. A. M. Rogers, we have been
Unable to supply his position in the
office.
lie is the last of our village, over
■or under age, whose physical ability
would guarantee a soldiers berth,
nnd our census now, of male adults,
amounts to the respectable number
of ten, of which are our Judge, the
Clerks of the Superior, Inferior and
Ordinary, the high Sheriff, a Magis
trate, a P. ft!., two practicing physi
cians nnd the subscriber. If Uncle
Abe’s hessians should make us a vis
itation, they would be greeted by as
a decrepid, lank and lean a posso as
were ever marshalled by Sir John
Falstaff, but our reserve would be
found a large and formible phalanx,
for it is of Southern women, with
proud, defiant Southern hearts nnd
noble, patriotic souls.
GRAND DEVEL0PEMENT; HORSE
MARINES-
Since nrinies hav become institu
tions of power, nnd the only ngences
of ordeannd safety, and the prestige
of physical force, the directory of the
policies and economies of nations,
the ancient promises of J/ileninms
o'
arc no longer in repute, nnd tho re
turn of the good old days of Adam
and of Eve, is entertained ns a nur
sery orcle of infatuated priest
craft. The doub!c--quick of
the West Confederacy, 1ms left
to tho renr all systems both
antique and nndern; and Jon-
mini, Clatisnitzs, Torrens, Unrdee
and “Gen. Tureen" are now obso
lete. The solidity of Hvthc, and
the mobility of “ie. terrain mili-
taire" are only known as nonsensi
cal disputations of exploded theories, i
while the buffstick-rigidity of Weatj
Point, with hands pinned to the side
and a position square to the front,
a mere anatomic walking compass,
is taught by Icabod Crane, as an
amusement for Ilia corps of the
birch. The cavalry of tho West is
now the lunista of military reform.
Forest has transmuted his dragoons
into floating corvetts, and us horse
gunboats, each with a mountain
howitzer on his saddle bow, is scat
tering the Yankee Flotilla from the
waters of the Cumberland and Ten
nessee.
Well may dismay panic their decks
for these equine tornadoes arc
smashing up their iron Vestures, and
scattering their wrecks to the cur
rents, with death and slaughter.—
Had there been a Wheeler uud a
Forrest at Traffalgar and tho Nile,
Bronte would not have been inscrib
ed upon Eugland’6 boasted col
umn. The Vanguard and tno Vic
tory would have found a watery-
grave with such Knights of old
Neptune bearing down upon their
broadsides.
So at last we are now safe from
the interior raids of gunboats, as the
country will soon be equipped with
Horse Marines.
ANOTHER COMPANY-
Our young townsman, Alphcqs
M. Rogers," Esq., recently of the
staff of the Georgia Battilion
has been tendered tile command of
a cavalry corps, erected by order of
the Departement under enrollment
of Cnpt. M. D. Jones of tho Grubbs
Hussars. The company-is now en-
rout for Richmond, to take a posi
tion in a Regiment to be attached to
the division of Cobb’6 Legion.
The compliment, we learn, ten-;
dered our young friend, is prospect’
live of promotion. With it we most'
cordially concur believing that our.
service demands a rich cast of geni-i.
us and an educational practicality;)
and if private virtues and a delicatej
sense of honor, chastened by an ur-r
banity of manner, is an .adornmenti
to a nation’s chieftains, then will our,
Confederacy greet the acquisition of'
Cnpt. Rodgers to her ranks. Capt,
Jones of the gallant dragoons whe
havo won so popular an applause,,,
for their active service in tho cam' 1
paigns ot. Maryland and Vn., wile
return to his command in n few day "
when tho organization of the Regi'.'
tnent will be completed. We tende^”
