Terry’s Texts n Rat Mgers—The Mam.
eltikes off the War.
It is well known that the late Confeder
ate States cavalry, ao-called, where iu’the
main, strietkiy speaking, aimjply mounted
infantry, doing splendid service, it is true,
bnt always dismounting, and preferring to
dismount and fight, unless the want of
time and circumstances prevented. Terry's
Rangers Were, however, an exception.
They were organized, armed and equipped,
and in action speciallyreserved from regu
lar cavalry charging. Circumstances and
the nature of the ground may have some
time* pieVeuted, but this was there fort.
Each was armed with * double barrel shot
gun, two revolvers and a ponderous bowie,
and adding to courage confidence, sod be
ing most excellent horseman, they may in
truth be said to Have been the Mamelukes
ofitbe,war. They were, in many repects,
a remarkable body of men remarkable
for the. espirt, 4u crops , their unwavering
confidence in their final success of the causa
their lofty bearing in camp and in field, and
the general mtebtgenoe of the rank and
file, No bills yf lading,. or chimney
corner. receipts for the cure of
whooping congh and measles, or
other false and fabricated papers, written
or printed, evet passed spy or bummers
through lines guarded by ranger pickets,
w Mfc their reports of the strength, position
and movements of tlie enemy Were al
ways timely, •> valuable, and wonderfully
correct. ■ ,
At Murfreesboro Fiiday night, when
Bragg wui secretly and silently preparring
for one of his famous movements Id' thi>
reiti, a ranger gulloped up and exclaimed;
“General, the enemy himself is lii full re
tredf.” He was reprimanded and head
quarters passed on. Afterward Hardie
was heard to remark, ‘M»t s <feVir 'of thole
rangdrs but would iiiak* 4 It feast a bVfga
for by the fact that they were picked men
and the flower of the Texas ytfnrth. It had
been charged by Union Oieft pending dm
vote on'the proposition for the State to
secede, that secession was war, and that'
having br<mgt it on, rich mini's sons would
seek place and power, and poor men Would
barb to do the fighting. Accordingly,
rv, the Bayard of the State, issued a call
which inspired the wildest enthusiast!!, and
tho sons of the roost eminent, most influential
and. most^.lfWiflifiy vied with each other in a
z('{th>us and, prompt response. In less than
ten days the regiment was filled out beyond
the maximum. Numbers went away dtn~
appointed, some dejected, like the Spartans
u s ofd, because not chosen to die for their
countries. At their own request they were
sworn in “for tho and with
out condition, and this, months anterior to
the call for troops for three years.'Each
man furnished his own horse, arms and
equipments, aud in a large measure paid
iiis own way to the seat of conflict* They
left Houston; Texas, 1160 strong; 500 re
cruits were received from time to time,
making a total muster-rot I of 1660 uatnes.
They were in over one hundred distinct
engagements from first to last, from Wood*
softy life, £y., to Graham Station, North
Carolina, uear which they fought the last
fight of the war, and surrendered, 244 all
told, with but one diserjter.

enthusiastically exclaimed, “with a little
more diciplin e f&py would be the equals of
the Old Guard* Tuesday evening at Shiloh,
the enemy had passed to within one mile of
Breckenridfee, who was covering the retreat
with the remains of his shattered and weir*
ied division. Midwrfy between, the rangers
were contesting the ground almost truly
inch by inch.

Becsus this large farm is ie great Mil of

are old enough; and the girls say they
before they will marry farmers.
Neither sons nor daughters are educated as,,

to tnake it more productive, release his

lay up as good a property, and will train
up a more intelligent and happier family.
