Evening Journal.’’
Yes, the “old Guard” arc hut
passing away. Here and there you
find a one armed or one legged con
federate soldier, bobbing along; bnt
the “silver threads among the gold,”

grave. He will soon, in the beaut
ful language of Stonswall Jackson,
“pass over tho river and rest under
tho shade of the trees.”

ter was shown to us a few days since

of the Whigbam Manufacturing
Company. It has been well preserv
ed, having bosu kept in [the Truloek
family Bible for more than half a
century, and shows that there were
exciting times in those days: “.Sun
day, June 12, 1836—Dear Sir—An
express arrived at Bainbridge stating
that there was a large body of Indians
on this side of Chattahoochee river,
on ilu-ir way to Florida, and that a
party of whites from Stewart and
Sumter counties (on their way to join
the army) which fell iu with the
Indians and was drawn into
ambuscade by only a fow Indians
showing themselves. Twenty-seven
whites were killed. There is to be a
meeting iu Bainbridge to day for the
purpose ot concerting some piau-of
safety, (.'apt. Lester went on vester-
lay evening as an express to Thom
asville ami to try to get volunteers.
Yours, etc., William Powell. To
Mr. S. II. Truloek."
Then, as now, Thomasville was
loubile.-a ready to respond to the ct 11
of duty and danger. Many, most of
the actors iu those stirring times .me.'
scenes have passed away. They were
a brave, fearless people who drove the
savages from this region.
The Augusta Chronicle pays this
glowing tribute to the Georgia poli
tician :
‘‘The Georgia politician beats the
world. ' There arc none shrewder—
no, not in America. From his caily
settlement lie was called ‘the
Southern yankee.’ lie euchred the
Creek liuliau out of his best land and.
beat the Spanish and British off the
soil. He held his own with the gen
eral Government, and when the ‘ar
gument was exhausted’ offered to
‘stand by his arms.’ He did not give
way before Andrew Jackson or John
Marshal, and if lie had been given
time to caucus, would have gotten
even with William T. Sherman. He-
proved too shrewd for Delano mid
Simon Cameron after the war, and in.
reconstruction, days was the first to-
pluck the flower from the thistle, or
to ‘take the liueu lrom the strawber
ry.’ There are about two million of
us now, mostly politicians. While
we have had coif, shows, and racing
meetings, anil cattle exhibits, and
cotton centennials, this is the first
fall fair where the Gorgia politician
lias had a. vhow at the blue ribbon.
