THE I.ATE WAR.
Why the Confederate Soldier# Failed to
Win the Victory.
McCarthy’s Soldier Life in the Army of North
ern Virginia.!
The Confederate soldier opposed im
mense (aids. In the Seven day’s battle,-
around Richmond, SO.OOO drove to the
James river 115,000 of the enemy. At
Fredericksburg, in 1862, 78,000 of them
routed 110,000 Federal troops. At Chan
cel lorsville, in ISG3, 57,000 under Lee
and Jackson, whipped, and, hut for the
death of Jackson, would haye annihila-
ted an army of 132,000 men, more than
( double th* ir own number. At Gettys
burg, 62,000 of them assailed the heights
manned hy 112,000. At the Wilderness,
in ISG3, 63,000 met and successfully re
sisted 151,000 of the enemy. At Appo
mattox, it: 1865, 8,000 of them surrender
ed to the post commandant by Grant.
The United 'States gove • lent, at the
end of the war, mustered out of servsee 1
000, 000.of men, and half la the field, from
fir.-t to last, 2,000,000. JY the Confeder
ate so!?1 Iter had then had,& , c this dispar
ity of numbers to contend with, he would
have driven every invtifk r from the soil
of Virginia.
But ihfx.Confede*ate spl her fought, in
•idt iriou to tbe.-e odds, H e facilities or
the t ’ in.'por.ation of ti<jo’>3 md suppjh *
•iff rde . bv th not vorT of railways in
he country norui ;f him, .dl of which
vim' subj; et to to: riv.i < ih govern
ment, and backed by a tit-ist ry whicu
was turning out, money b.v die ton, $1 of
which was worth sixty'Confederate dol
ors.
It should be. rci ictnbeH and. also, that
while the south was restricted to id <v\ 11
territory for .-applies, aeq Us own peo
ple f.r inert, the north digw on tiie world
for materiel, and on every nation of the
world for men.
The arms and ammunition of the Fed
eral soldier* were abundant and good, so
ihundant and so good th*t they supplied
both armies, and were greatly preferred
by Confederate oflicers. The equipment
of the Federal armies was well-nigh per
feet. 'l’he facilities for manufacture
were simply unlimited, and the nation
thought no expenditure ol treasure too
great, if only the country—the Union!—
could he saved. 'J'he factory anti foundry
chimneys made a pillar of smoke by day
anti of the by night. The latest improve
ments were hurried to the front and
adopted by both armies almost simulta-
for hardly had the Federals
bought when [the Confederates captured
and used the ve’y latest.
Commissary stores were piled up all
over Virginia for the use of the invading
armies. They had more than they could
protect, and their loss was a gain to the
hungry defenders of the soil. The Con
federate soldier fought a host of ills oc
casioned by the deprivation of chloro
form and morphia, which were exclud
ed from the Confederates as contraband
of war. The man who had submitted to
amputation without chloroform, or tossed
on a couch of agony for a night aud a day
without sleep for the want of a dose of
morphia may possibly be able to estimate
the advantages which resulted from the
possession by the federal surgeons of an
unlimited supply of these.
The Confederate soldier fought boun
ties and regular monthly r xy, the Stars
and Stripes* the Star Spangled Banner,
Hail Columbia,. Tramp, Tramp, Tramp,
John Brown’s Body, Kally Round the
Flag, and all the tnry and fanaticism
which skilled minds could create, oppos
ing this grand arrsv with the modest and
homely refrain of Dixie, supported by a
mile solution of Maryland, My Mary
land. lie fought grod wagons, fat hors
es and tons of quarter-master’s stores;
pontoon trains of splendid material and
construction by the mile; gun-boats,
wood and iron, and men-of-war; illus
trated papers, to cheer the boys in blue
with sketches of the glorious deeds.they
did not do; bibles by the car-load,’ and
tracts by the millions—the first to pre
pare them for death, and the second to
urge upon them the duty of dying.
The confederate soldier fought the
‘‘sanitary commission, ” whose members,
u'inetl with every facility and conven
ience, quickly ca; ried the sick and
wounded oft ho federal army to eomfort
ttiie qu.-tr, ro- mod ihe bioodv gar
ments, laid the sufferer on a clean ami
dry couch, clothed him in* loan elorhes,
ind fed him ori the best the world could
afford, and money buy. lie fought file
•veil bn:it, thoroughly equipjied ambu
lances,'the countless surgeons, nurses and
hospital steward, and the best surgical
ippliances known to tiie medical world,
lie fought the commerce of the United
States and aii the facilities for war which
Europe could supply, while bis own
ports were closed to all rlie world. He
fought the trained officer* and the regu
lar troops of the United States army,"as
sisted by splendid volunteer soldier's,’ be
sides swarms of men, the refuse of the
earth—Portugese, Spanish, It tiian, Ger
man, Dish, Scotch, English, French.
Chinese, Japanese—white, black, olive
and brown. He laid down liie for life
with this hireling host, who died for
pay—mourned by no one, missed by no
one, loved by no one, who were better
clothed, tatter, happier and more con
tented in the army than ever they were
at home, and whose graves strew the
earth in lonesome places, where none go
to weep. When one of these fell, two
could be fought to fill the gap. The con
federate soldier killed these without com
punction, and their comrades buried them
without a tear.
The confederate soldier fought the cries
of distress which came from ills home
tales of woe, insult and robbery. He
fought men who knew that their homes
(when they had any) were safe, their
wives and children, their parents and sis
ters sheltered, and their business aflairs
more than usually prosperous, who could
draw sight drafts, have them honored,
and make the camp table as bountiful
and luxurious as that of a New York
hotel.
He fought a government founded by
the genius of his fathers, which derived
its strength from principles they formu
lated, and which persuaded its soldiers
that they were die champions of the con
stitutional liberty which they were
marching to invade and eventually to de
stroy.
The relative strength of armies becomes
a matter of secondary importance when
these facts are considered. The dispari
ty of numbers only would never have
produced the result which the combina
tion of these various forces did—the sur
render of the Army of Northern Virgin
ia.

whose pen it emanates:
Fellow-citizens of Georgia: The
approaching 12th of February, 1883, will
be the one hundred and fiftieth anniver
sary of the first English settlement in
the colony of Georgia. On-February Ist
(corres j ending to February 12 of the new
calendar.) 1733, one hundred and twenty
English colonists, led bf Gen. James
Oglethorpe, after a vpjrage in the ship
Anne of over two months, having
stopped at Charleston and Beufwrt, set
foot on the soil of Georgia Savannah
blnfi’, and laid the foundations of the me
tropolis of Georgia, and of the last of the
polonies that now form the United States
of America."
If the memories ot like e/ents ought
to be preserved, surely the origin of a
colony founded iu such principles of
honor, faith and charity as characterized
the birth of Georguy deserve - commemo
ration, for it. was the first colonial estab
lishment in the history ol the world
made in the motive *::id at 10 instance
of pure benevolence. >• > political

bn.-ine - plan of foreign traA* . p. oiopfed
the estn.bli-hment aero?* the *eu of this
hot Ej glFh colony. Nothing but the

’ .<• and o-virg and honorable poor mov
•"■'d the -ympalhizing hearts o'" ti e Eng
lish gentry and immnnalty o give lib
er.-idy of their labor, time and m mey in
order to provide a home for chose who,
■ ' rough misfortune, had lo r t.ie com
forts .1 a home in the mo:he land.
And when the scheme was matured
and the colonists were gathering, a gen
tleman and a soldier, the finest type of
heroism and benevolence that ever
planned or led such an undertaking,
from pure sympathy became their leader,
and in the prime ot life denied himself
the luxurious ease and refined inter
course to which he was entitled by rank
and education, and sought and found his
friends and associates among the poor
colonists.
Oglethorpe, who thus became the gov
ernor in person as in authority, was one
of the trustees to whom was granted the
charter of the colony of Georgia on June
9th, 1732, in the time of George il,
whose name was appropriately given to
the colony. At tneir own request and to
show the purely charitable motives of
the trustees, they had caused to be inser
ted in the charter clauses “restraining
themselves from receiving any salary,
iee, perquisite or profit whatsoever by or
from the undertaking, and also from ob
taining any grant of lands within the
district, either themselves or in trust for
them.”
In entire consonance with this honor
able course, Oglethorpe himself led forth
his colony “upon the condition that he
was not to receive any salary or other re
compense whatever.” Of like significa
tion, too, was the colonial seal, which
bore the design of “silk worms feeding.”
for silk raising was hoped to be the fu
ture business of the colony, and it illus
trated the design by tiie apt motto “non
sibi sed aliis,” which equally symbolized
the charity of the founders and the trus
tees.
How fitting, then, the commemoration
of the one hundred and fiftieth birthday
of this once feeble colony, but now pros
perous state, a colony founded in such
pure motives and a state crowned with
such an honorable career. Nor should
this celebration be confined to the inhab
itants of the city whose foundation was
then laid. Savannah was but*the begin
ning of Georgia, and it equally becomes
the citizens of every part of ibis broad
state to unite with the people of Savan
nah in gathering around the cradle of
both city and commonwealth. Senti
ments of reverence for our ancestry, of
pride in our colonial history, and of
wonder at prosperous growth, should
prompt tts t.<> recall our feeble begin
ning- and make us strive to perpetuate
the principle* of “Wisdom, Justice and
Moderation” that nmlerHeour policy.
1 jet it be that this colon}’ and its in
crease populated Savannah and the low
country, and that middle and northern
Georgia rather grew out of independent
settlements at tit fibred r dates from sister
colonies, still the first distinct English
settlement on the soil of Georgia, grow
ing out of a patent defining its limits and
name, is in reality the neuolus of our
whole state. Nor could be otherwise
tnan that the common tiials ami sacrifi
ce' of the war of the revolution should
have cemented Georgia’s population in
one, and its growth for the century af
terwards under one government, with
united interests and harmonious ends,
should have resulted in as substantial
unity as though all had sprung from one
hive.
With such a history, then, in common,
and with such sentiments of honorable
memor.v and grateful pride, Savannah
greets the people of ever> county, city,
town and hamlet in Georgia, and cordi
ally invites them to join with her own in
commemorating the first foundations of
our prosperous state; in recalling the
noble motives that suggested its plant
ing, and the wise, just and moderate
principles that have ever ruled its poli
cy; in remembering the virtues of its
gallant founder, and his labors and sac
rifices for its success, and in drawing
therefrom lessons of patriotism and pride
in our state. We look to a free inter
course with our bretheren of every sec
tion as a source of social pleasure, of po
litical benefit anfl ot business profit, and
we trust that this general gathering
around the altar of Oglethorpe’s plant
ing, may build up, if possible, a higher
respect, a more confiding trust and a
warmer friendship between ail grades of
society and all sections of the state, than
ever now exist.
Henry R. Jackson,
President of the Sesqui-Centennial
committee. Savannah, December 9,
1882.
One day recently Messrs. Batelielder
& Ileyden’s bay horse took fright and
ran away, and in so doing it sprang com
pletely out of the shafts. The man in
charge immediately started after the
horse, but by the time he h id reached the
corner the horse was making good time
for Centreville. Just then the well
known bulldog ' belonging at the
store, which had been an eye-witness of
the whole aff air, bounded past at the top
of his speed, caught up with the horse,
and, seizing the reins that were trailing
on the ground, held back oa them in such
a manner as to bring the animal to a
standstill. Several men at this moment
started trom the sidewalk with the inten
tion of holding the horse, but the dog
kept them at bay until the arrival of the
driver, when he proudly delivered the
reins into his hand and walked off with
an important air. —Frovidence Journal .
‘•SKWS FROM OHKST."
Where the •1,900 Came from to Carry
the Seveuth and Ninth District*.
Post-Appeal, tfch, inst,}
Asa general thing affidavits are good
reading even in camp meetings. They
always carry facts with them— as far as
they go.
It will be remembered that our con
temporary, a newspaper published in
Atlanta, performed the wonderful and
extraordinary feat of reporting the result
of the Election in more states than any
other newspaper in the United States,
and that it also indulged in the peculiar
pastime of giving the result ot the con
gressional election in the seventh and
ninth districts of Georgia the next morn
ing after the election. It was not so im
portant that the news should have been
published the next morning, but it was
highly necessary to them am! their coad- j
jurors that tiie gentlemen who were can
didates in Umse iwo district* against the
democratic nominees, Messrs. Felton
and Speer, should be beaten. It will be
remembered that the said journal took
upon itself the task of sending “special
couriers and riders” throughout the sev
enth and ninth districts, particularly the
latter district, to report to it the first
news from Ghent, at a cost of over sl,-
200, as was stated by itself. Twelve
hundred dollars was a considerable sum
of money to bo expending in getting
news only one day ail. ad from a little
congressional election in only two dis
trict. In other words, “the game was
not worth the candle.” All the true in
wardness of the feat may o;-e day ,•>.,,0
to light. 1 n any event a representative
of the Post-Appeal has learned from a
gentleman from the ninth that it may
yet be ascertained that the money, thus
expended came from the dem -era ie cam
paign committee from Washington, and
that while Mr. Ifubbeil is being investi
gated, as it wen*, some inquiry might
with profit be made into the “special
courier” business.
“Do you mean to say,” queried the
Post-Appeal man to a gentleman from
the ninth, “that it is within the range of
possibility that the paper did not pay the
money out ot its own funds for its spe
cial reports from the seventh and ninth
districts?”
“Sncli is my understanding and belief,
and I have been enquiring something
into tiie matter. Youiee, it would not
have paid them to have gone into such
ar. expense, but that was a good way to
make the disbursement.”
Post-Appeal man—“ Where did the
money come from?”
Gentleman from the Ninth—“ That is
the question. As I said, we think we
will be able to show that the democratic
congressional campaign committee had a
hand in the matter.”
Post-Appeal man—“ Will you be able
to show that clearly?”
Gentleman from the Ninth—“ Well, if
we don’t we will come so close to it that
it will make somebody’s head swim. We
don’t intend to say anything until we
get ready—then you will hear something
drap. Those men who are affecting to
represent what they call the republican
party in Georgia—such as Buck, Bryant,
Andy Clarke, Smythe, Wilson and At
kins—did ns much or more than the demo
cratic committee to defeat both Felton
and Speer. I tell you, it is pretty well
known and understood that most of these
men contributed money for the defeat of
Mr. Speer.”
Post-Appeal man—“You think, then,
these men worked for and contributed
money towards the success of the demo
cratic candidate ?”
Gentleman from the Ninth—“ There is
no sort of doubt about it, and it will all
be shown up at the proper time.”
With this information as to how the
election was carried, we retired to await
further developments.”
Mits, si’iLLWicrx’S CONFESSION.
Circumstances Attending the Sudden
Death of Her Former Husband.
Maryville, Mo. January 4.—The spe
cial dispatch from Mount Vermont, Ohio,
stating that Mrs. J. V, Stillwell, now in
a dying condition at that place, had con
fessed the murder of her former husband,
Benjamin Sweigert, in this city in 1877
with the assistance of her mother and
brother; the strangling of her fourteen
year old (laughter at Rulo, Neb., in May,
1880, and her participation in the murder
ot a stranger who stopped at her house
has produced considerable excitement
here, where the parties are well known.
In order that the reported confession of
Mrs. Stillwell as t* the murder of her
husband Sweigert may be fully under
stood, a history of the matter is given as
published at the time. On the 4th of
March, 1877, Benjamin Sweigert was re
ported found dead in his bed in this city.
He was a shoemaker in the employ of
George Kraus. The evidence of N. T.
Jones, night policeman, as given at the
inquest was to the effect that Sweigert
left up town a few minutes before twelve
o’clock on Saturday night. Chester
Hoard, the brother of Mrs. Stillwell,
testified at the inquest that a little before
one o’clock on Sunday morning, March
4, he found Sweigert lying on the street
intoxicated, near Sweigert’s residence.
Hoard took him home and put him to
bed with his clothes en, but his boots off.
Hoard also went to bed, and when he
arose next morning called for Sweigert
to get up. When Hoard afterward arose
he tried to rouse Sweigert, but found
him dead. Drs. J. W. Dean and M. L.
Hackedorn testified that Sweigert came
came to his death by asphyxia, partially
produced from an injury to the medulla
oblungnta superinduced by excessive use
of intoxicating drinks, and partially from
a mechanical cause, he having been found
lying on a feather bed face downward.
Sweigert left two children, who are re
ported to be at Ottumwa, lowa, Charles
and Benjamin Sweigert. They have a
small estate from their grandfather, Ben
jamin Sweigert, of Kramtlin, Canton of
Berne, Switzerland.
Denver, Col., January 4. —Divorce
was granted to-day to Mrs. Tabor, wife
of Lieutenant-Governor Tabor, by mu
tual agreement, on the ground of deser
tion. The agreement was made to ac
complish amicable settlement and make
things easy for the decree. Governor
Tabor deeded to his wife to
day real property here valued at $250,-
000; he also purchases of her, her inter
est in the Windsor hotel here, paying
her therefor $38,000. In view of the
fact that Tabor is a prominent candidate
for the United States senate, the affair
has created a good deal of interest through
out the state.
San Francisco papers relate that Rear
Admiral Schenck, whose death occurred
about two weeks since, was the first to
bring gold East from California. He
was a Lieutenant then, and was dispatch
ed with the news of the discovery by
Commodore Ap. Catesby Jones, and took
with him three claret cases of gold
1 chunks.

CONTIOTS DROWNED.
i Eighteen North Cere line Cen riots Fled a
Weterjr Ore re.
New Yoke, January 4.— A dispatch
from Raleigh, N. C., says: Lieutonont-
Governor James L. Robinson brought to
Gov. Jarvis to-day the details of an acci
dent which is the toast awful that has
happened in any of the public works in
this state. By the sinking ot a llatooat
on TuekaseegeC river. Jackson county,
In the western part ot the state, eighteen
convicts were drowned. These convicts
arc a portion of 500 whom the state leased
to the Western North Carolina railroad,
which is operated by the Richmond and
DauvQle railroad company. The partic
ular gang to which the unfortunate men
belonged had its headquarters near
Cowee Tunnel, which passes through
Cowee mountain, on the line which is
now being contracted between Asheville,
N. 0., and 1) icktown, Ga., and was at
work on this runnel.
The convic: stockade In which they
ire quartered is on the other side of the
Tnckuseegee l iver from the tunnel, and
the laborers a e ferried over the ztiwam
where it is n mow but very deep by
means of a large fiat-bottomed boat, ca
pable of cont dning fifty persona. On
Saturday moi niog as thirty oonvicn, in
charge of two guards, were 'crossing the
river in the ferryboat, some of them no
iced water at and ice in the bottom iv* the
boat and cried out, panic stricken, that
’t was siukiup. There was an *Ut (taut
rush to the Qt;:qr end of the boat, v Well
covered and sank with all on board. al
i hough the guards riffled' that there was
no leak and n<> danger. All were thrown
into the ioe+eolU stream, which there ran
•fill and deep, while above and below
were rapids.
Twelve of the thirty convicts and one
f rhe guitr is managed to swim as ore,
though they v\ ere* thoroughly benumbed
>viiii fold. Eighteen of the convicts
were drowned by clasping each other
liienrilv like knots of serjients, and were
thus swept down the lower rapids, below
which they wore found by two* and
threes, tightly clasped together in their
death lock. r l lie other guard was taken
from the water unconscious, and for
hours his life was despaired of. The
scene was a terrible one, and was wit
nessed by a great number of person*, the
most of whom were unable to be of any
assistance. The cries of the drow riing
men, the gasping of able swimmers made
helpless by the frenzy of their comrades,
is never to be forgotten.
As the bodies were brought on shore,
the utmost efforts were made to save life.
Nothing that w ould restore them to con
sciousness was left undone, but all was
fruitless. The gang on that part of the
road is in charge of Mr. J. M. Murray.
M. E. Stamps, who has control of ail con
victs in the state, was yesterday after
noon sent to the scene of the accident by
Gov. Jarvis, t" make a complete exami
nation into the occurrence. No blame
is thought to rest on any one, as the
boat wag safe and had,beeu used to trans
port large parties of convicts for some
time past.
DUTIES OF RAILROAD AGENTS.
As to the matter of railroad agents re
fusing to sign receips for cotton to buy
ers and planters before loaded, the code
of Georgia settles the matter, as may be
seen by the section quoted as follows:
Section 4(>04 (4514 old.) —Whenever
any person shall deliver any article,tiling,
commodity or property of any descrip
tion to any railroad, steamboat or express
company in this state, for transportation,
it shall be the duty of said company,
upon demand to furnish the party so de
livering a good and valid receipt for the
same, with proper revenue samps attach
ed thereto, and said receipt shall specify
the shipping mark or marks, and num
ber or numbers thereon, and (a) the
weight of said article and commodity or
proj>rty, thus delivered, whenever the
value can be estimated by weight, and in
all cases w here the value cannot be thus
estimated the receipt shall give a general
description of said article, thing, commo
dity or property, and shall also specify
as near as practicable, the quantity or
value thereof and also the place of desti
nation ; and any agent or officer of any
railroad, steamboat or express company
violating the provisions of this section,
shall be deemed and considered guilty of
a high misdemeanor and upon conviction
thereof shall be punished by fine or im
prisonment or both in the discretion of
the court, the fine not to be less than
one hundred dollars, nor more than two
thousand dollars, and the imprisonment
not to exceed sixty days.
FIRST CHRISTMAS IN AMERICA.
The Chronicle of the Pilgrims, describ
ing their arrival in Cape Cod Bay, in
December, 1620, refer thus briefly io
the first Christmas spent by them in
America:
“Monday, the 25th, being Christmas
day, we beg*n to drink water aboard.
But at night the Master caused us to have
some beer; and so on board we had dn er <
times now and then some beer, but on
shore none at''all.”
What was done in Plymouth village
the next Christmas is more fully describ
ed in the quaint language of Governor
Bradford:
“On ye day called Christmas-day, ye
Govr called them out to worke (as was
used), but ye most of this new company
excused themselves and said it went
against their consciences to work on ye
day. So ye Govr told them that if tf e /
made it mater of conscience, he woul l
spare them till they were better inform
ed. So he led away ye rest and left them,
but when they came home at noone from
their worke, he found them in ye streets
at play, openly, gome pitching ye burr,
and some as steole ball, and shuch like
sports. So he went to them and took
away their implements, and told them
that was against his conscience, that they
should play and others worke. If they
made ye keeping ot it mater of devotion,
let them kepe their houses, but ther
should be no gaming or revelling in ye
streets.”
The commissioner of agriculture has
prepared a revised table, showing the
grain productiont for the year ending
December 31. It is as follows:

The floods of Europe are assuming im
mense proportions, and threaten serious
loss of life and property. The people,
already weighed down with the Utpd'ens
or taxation, are illy prepared for he dis
