“Dr. Turner Hunt Perry, son
of Rev. Dow Perry, was born Feb.
19, 1832, in Harris Co., Ga.
In Dec., 1860, he accompanied his
parents from Alabama to Attala Co.,
Miss., where he joined a company of
volunteers for the war, commanded
by Captain D. T. Patterson. The
regiment with which he united, the
20th Miss., went through the cam
paign in Western Virgiuia, from there
to Kentucky, and ultimately to Foit
Donelson, Tenn., where he was kill'
ed, instantaneously, on Saturday, Feb.
15th, 1862, while fighting bravely for
his country. In conversing with his
father, he remarked that he did ‘not
enter the army for pleasure, profit or
honor, but simply from a sense of du-
ty, that he gave himself to his coun
try, and if his beloved south was to
be subjugated, he did not wish to live
to see itand in writing from the
camp to his mother, he said—‘if it
be my lot to fall in battle, none can
more highly appreciate than I do, the
sentiment, ‘It is sweet to die for one’s
country.’ ’ He was offered the place
of assistant surgeon in the regiment,
but refused, preferring to act as pby-
sician'for his company, and be ready,
in the hour of battle, to be in the
ranks. The tenderness, and love with
which he waited on the siek, his noble
and honorable bearing, his disinteres
tedness, his lofty courage, and deep
devotion to his loved land, made him
universally respected, and loved by
his fellow-soldiers. Though he had
not united with the church on leaving
home, yet from the religious training
which he received, his elevated moral
character, which put to the blush that
of many professing Christians, the ex
pressions in his letters of trust in God,
etc., we live in cheering hope that he
made his peace with his Heavenly
Father, and that we shall yet meet
him among the shining hosts of the
redeemed. J. D. Shaw.”
Our Armies.—Let the work of
strengthening our armies be now our
great concern, as it is our first great
business. There is nothing else to
excite our solicitude. The military
operations, over which the enemy are
at present joyous, amount to nothing.
Sherman may cackle over a few thou
sand bales of that cotton, of which
we have millions, and may exult over
the city, for which he has paid anoth
er—all this is as nothing. But the
reinforcement of our armies we may
not neglect. The results of the gen
eral campaign of 1864, are immense
ly in our favor. We have redeemed
a vast area of our territory, and have
lost almost nothing. The forts of
Mobile, and the town of Savannah
are all that we have lost; while we
have gained immensely beyond the
Mississippi, and have cleared a laige
portion of Tennessee, and Georgia,
and Virginia, and other states. The
guaranty, and the condition of a like
good fortune in 1865, are to be found,
in strengthening our armies, by all
practicable means.— Richmond Sent.
Kilpatrick’s Relative.—“ The
Augusta Chronicle states that Kilpat
rick claims to be a relative of a Geor
gia minister of the Baptist church.
While in Burke county, hearing
that the aged divine was at the
house of a daughter, he called to see
him. With reluctance, Rev. Mr. Kil
patrick agreed to see him. Very
soon after they met, in accordance
with usual custom, it being bedtime,
the parson knelt down to pray, and,
in his prayer, petitioned the Lord of
Hosts to send confusion among our
foes, and scatter their hosts, and bring
peace to our land.
After the prayer was concluded,
Rev. Mr. K.’s daughter told general
Kilpatrick that she had some wheat
in her gia-house, and as she had learn
ed that he was burning every one of
them, she would like for him to per
mit her to have it removed, before
he burned the house.
He told her it was needless to re
move the wheat, assuring her, upon
the word and honor of a gentleman,
that he would not burn her gin-house.
He immediately left the house, and
proceeded to the gin-house, with
some ten or fifteen men, and, with his
own hand, tired it. The wheat, and
house were consumed. He gave, as
a reason for this conduct, that the
parson insulted him in his prayer.”
