FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 12, ISlfi
Rosier A. Pryor—a New Role,
\l a recent meeting of soldiers at
JJ.iMhelh city, N. J., one of the spea
kers tn Pryor. He was formerly a
Oiinl rate brigadier general in the
Confederate army. lie is the same
ieltow who, while the Virginia con
vention w as sitting, rushed to Ciiarler
-1011, and, in, a * blood and-thtinder
soeoch, declared that “the first gun
fi ed on Sumter would carry Virginia
out of the Union in an hour by
Shrewsbury clock;” and advised the
instant filing of that shot.
Among other disgusting things he
said.
The real origin of the war he saw
iu tbe rash endeavors of their forefa
thers, in creating the constitution, to
reconcile two conflicting elements —
that of State Rovereignty and that of
national unity. The South fought for
State sovereignty and the right of se
cession, and that he regarded the ex
tinction of that theory, next to the
abolition of slavery, as the greatest
gain of the rebellion. Moreover,they
had nothing to apo'ogizc for, as they
fought for a cause they believed lobe
a just one, and under the same cir
cumstance s ho thought they would
do again as they had done. By God’s
providence their folly had bcenbrung
to naught, and the glorious Union
had been perpetuated. The peoplo
of the South were now oblivious of
all difference* of the past, and attach
ed to it and to the constitution with
tho utmost energy and devotion.
Therefore, concluding his spirited ad
dress, let us grasp every fraternal
Laud m and stand together for our com
.,ion country and our common flag.
The New York Bun says Pryor de
clared that tho abolition of slavery
woa enough =to compensate for the
millions of lives sacrificed, and all the
devastation caused by the war—
which utterance, wo are told, “ was |
greeted d>y the most vociferous ap
plause of fbe day.”
Tho Xiynchburg 'Virginian takes
the ex-rebel off in the following style,
and we concur:
We wcro among Uiose who were
flenowieed by'Gen. Pryor, and others
with Whom l was acting, as base
•snhinissinoists for endeavoring, with
<'ur bred <ti)hirv, to avert the confliot,
v hich lie now designntes as a “ re
hellion,” mid if there was folly in the
"inauguration of that conflict, wo aro
In no wise vosponsihle for it; but in
*fho name ofYlobcrt E. IjCO, m S one
wall Jackson, and all their followers
and comrades who made so gallant a
struggle for their nativo land, we
protest that Gen. Roger A. Pryor,
who so quick after the war deserted
ihe people, upon whom he did so
niuoh to bring the dreadful struggle,
for the flesh juits of the North, is not
a proper representative of our Con
federate braves, living or dead, and
has no right to speak for them.
Shooting in Columbus. —Mr. .T.
R, Forl>es, who lives in Tiomp county,
near Wisdom’s Store, was shot
through the head, last Friday, by
young Cadman, in Columbus. It
seems that Forbes had gone into
Cadman’s to buy a pistol, and was
waited on by Mrs. 0. Some words
rnsued in regard to the price of pis
tol, which ended iu Mrs. C. ordering
him out of the store. As he was
going, Mrs. 0. called him a fool, and
he called her a d—d fool. Her son
then followed him out with a pistol,
and shot him.
We are glad to hear that the pros
pects are good for Mr. Forbes’ re
covery. He bears a good character,
and his father, Mr. Geo. Forbes, is a
good and respeoted citiaen.
Cimtnsn has been admitted to bail
in the sum of $2,500.
Mr. Forbes was taken to the house
of Col. W. A. Barden soon after the
shooting, w here he and his excellent
wife are doing all in their power for
the comfort and recovery of the suf
ferer.

A negro was knocked off the
West Point road, last week, by an
engine, and badly hart about the
head. The conductor brought him
to Weal Point, and while gone af
ter a doctor, the negro left. Ho is
thought to be an escaped conviet.

Stonewall Jackson.
It was not strange that the unvail
tng of tho bronze statue of Stonewall
-Jackson, at Richmond, Va., recently,
was celebrated wi-h so much of pomp
and ceremony, or that the occasion
brought together in the Virginia cap
ital the largest and most enthusiastic
concourse of citizens of the South
that has been gathered in any South
ern city since the war. In view of
all the circumstances; of the venera
tion amounting almost to idolatry in
which ad tlie people of the South
hold the memory of Jackson; of the
universal desire to exhibit their ap
preciation of the generosity of the*
givers of the statue, and of the fact,
too that this was almost the first op
portunity since tho war for a reunion ;
with a genuine and definite puipose
of the scattered armies of the Con
federacy, it would have been strange
indeed had the occasion been want
ing in any of the demon's which
characterized it. Next to Lee, and
j perhaps in some respects more than
I that officer, Jackson was looked upon
by the Southern people as tho great
soldier of the war. With Lee he di
vided their affectionate admiration.
No officer of all their armies com
manded such implicit confidence by
his skill, such enthusiasm by his dur
ing, such inspiration by the swiftness
of bis combinations and the rapidity
of his movement**, such devotion by
his example of heroism and self-de
nial. lie was their hero, and they
had an honest pride in him; their
martyr, and they reverence his mem
ory. And so recently, not forgetting
for what he fought and fighting foil,
but rente nboring more than all that,
what ho was; touched by this tribute
paid to hi* greatness by men across
the sea who never saw bis face, con
scious that he fought in vain, but
treasuring no bitterness at the result,
they gavo him high and stately hon
ors, and remembered him in tender
and impassioned eulogy.
The ceremonies as described in the
special dispatches wcro grand and.im
pressive. The addressos were nota
bly free from any tiling which might
jar upon the sensibilities or in any
way violate the proprieties of such an
occasion. We have now so far pass
ed out from under the influence of
the passions engendered by the war
that wo may ahnost consider its fig
ures aud events with the impartiality
of history. On both sides we are
coming to separate the men of that
stormy time from the evotils which
brought them forth and set them in
so strong a light, and wo are grow ing
into jnstor judgements and clearer
apprehensions of their real character.
We of the North can not only look
calmly on while Virginia and the
South eulogize the heroes who grew
great, to onr discomfiture, 1 ut weenn
unite with them in paying the tribute
of our admiration to the rugged vir
tues, tlio obstinate sincerity,’lbe
manly faith, the courageous solf den
ial which aro perpetuated in the mon
umental bronze nnvailed at Rich
mond. llis deeds and his sacrifices
are in a special sense the heritage of
the men witli whom and for whom
lie fought, hut iu a larger sense
his example as a man of sincerity,
constancy, and fidelity to his honest,
though mistake*, convictions, is the
world’s, and will he remembered
when the cause ho fought for is for
gotten.
The above is from the N. Y. Trib
une; and if it expresses tin l true sen
timent of the people of the North, it
is an evidence that the sectional bit
terness engendered by the war be
tween the States is giving place to
proper appreciation of Southern he
roes and Southern characters.
#®*The Columbus Times gives
anything but a favorable notice of
Howe’s circus—the show was poor, an
extra price was charged (or reserved
seats, jitid the ticket wagon w as kept
closed so tickets could be sold at the
door at un extra price. The street
parade was the only thing that met
public expectation.
But there is no donht this circus
was as good as any of them. They
are all humbugs, ami a curse to the
country, both morally and financially.
We are glad to know there is one

Hkai.tht —A correspondent of
the Milledgevillc Recorder says:
I’ve known of no instance ot health
to equal that of the Whitehead fam
ily on Toccoa mountain. Mrs, While
head is 9(5, has raised twelve chil
dren, has 36 grand children, and lor
no member ct her own or children’s

T-ST The li.ujse of Mr. G 11. Win
>ton, near West Point, wst burnt
©a the Sd. liisurvd for ? 2,000. |
Written for tbe Vi.-itor.
“At Evening- lime there shall be
Light.”
We were never more forcibly re
minded of ibis beautiful passage from
(he Scriptures, than on Monday ev
ening last. The day was dark and
di-unal indeed—it must, have been
just such an one that threw its pal!
over Longfellow "w hen he wrote his
poem beginning,
“The day is cold, and dark, and dreary-
Jt raio*, and the win 1 is never weary,”
We stood at a window, and as wo
watched tho leaden, lowering clow Is,
and noticed tho dying leaves show
ering down through the dark, murky
atmosphere; while the half-naked
branches swayed backwards ami for
wards in the autumn wind, we seemed
suddenly to realize why, among the
excitable and impressible French peo
ple, November is styled “the month
of suicides.”
Imagine what the cloc of such a
day must be to a volatile, impressive
Frenchman, hemmed in on all sides
with troubles, chief among which are
domestic and pecuniary. Perhaps for
awhile he struggles against them; po •
i-ibly lie reasons again and again,
“ whether ’us nobler in the mind t<>
suffer the slings and arrows of out
rageous fortune, or to take up arms
against a sea of troubles, and, by op
posing, end them.” Perhaps the
struggle continued all day, and he is
still in this frame of mind when a No
vember night w ith all its dismal gloom
closes around him. 110 id a French
man—that is his character had no re
ligious basis. He knows naught of
the Divine source of comfort —lie can
not look beyond this vale of tear-.
He weighs life and death, and death
pulls down the scales; so he seeks
the dark, flowing[water of the Seine,
looking upon life as a game no longer
“worth the candle.”
The next morning ft mournful com
mentary on human folly and weak
ness can be read in the ghastly lace i
of the body stretched on a marble
slab in the Rue Morgue.
We turn resolutely away from the
gloomy picture, for we fee! a premo
nition of that dreadful disease,
“ blues.” We note the cheerful fire,
and, woman like, give it a vigorous
“poke.” We kiss the four bright
little faces gathered around the hearth
stone, and then take refuge from
‘‘dull carg,” not iu “ rosy wine,” but
at the dear old “Singer.’ Garment
on little garment is fashioned beneath
its magic needle, and at five we rise,
well pleased with our day’s work,
having managed to forget there were
such things ns dreary November days
and suicidal French people.
Just as wo are brushing up, and
making the room neat and cheerful
for papa’s rot urn from his day’s labor,
we bear tbo patter of little feet up
tbe ball, and m comes our brown
eyed little four year old, with the
petition, “ Do, please, mama, como
and race on the colonnade wiih me,
jest a little bit” —which shows that,
materfamilias as wo are, wo do not
always take our case otium , cum
dignitate. Ah! well—a romp with
the little ones now and then, smooths
many a furrow front heart and tem
per, as well as brow.
So, tying on the little hood, we are
soon enjoying a second childhood,
watching our delighted household
darling. At last, however,we cry “ a
truce;” and taking refuge at the
north end of the colonnade, we lean
against a pillar, and “view the land
scape o’er”—a dreary one, certainly;
but still, to us, who are to the manor
born, it lias its attractions.
To the left lies our little village,
snugly ensconced at the feet of her
gigantic pines, which rise beyond and
above her, like huge senti
nels at their post of duty. Within a
stone’s throw, stands the pride of one
country, the Female College, l’luv
nix-like, she has risen from her ashes
in ten fold splendor, and while around
her all bears evidence of death and
decay, her slender spire points up
ward to the everlasting heavens, tell
ing us in silent, though eloquent lan
guage, that *■ knowledge can never
die.”
To the right lies one green spot of
beauty, the bright-glowing lit le
mountain of oaks. ’Tis here that the
sun kisses into life the first tender
bud of spring, and ’tis here that Jack
Frost finds his hardest task to con
quer; for when all other trees have
yielded their leaves to the decaying
influence of Mother Earth, here the
subjects of the little mountain still
hold their own.
On this evening, however, we mi>s
her glowing colors. In common with
the rest of nature she looks dark and
sombre.
While wo stand here looking at
the dreary aspect of the weather, we
suddenly note a slender shred of
gold low in tlio western horizon, a id
the next instant a gleam of lig! t
shoots athwart the earth, aud rests
solely on the mountain. The effect
is like magic. Instantly each giant
oak seems clothed in a glowing robe
of crimson or gold, arid thousands of
smaller trees glisten in all the varied
colors of the rainbow; while the
green pines dotted here and there
form a relief to the gorgeous coloring.
The change is so sudden and be
wildering, that we almost imagine
the heavens have opened and a por
tion of its g ory descended in a gold
en bath on the mountain top.
1* is a sight lovely beyond descrip
tion. We watch it with glowing
eyes, and fee! awe-struck, as we find
ourself repeating, “At evening-time
there shall he light.”
The sun goes down, the light fades
sio v * ly from tlu* mountain ; now, ’iis
half in shadow, half in shine. There
—the last ray is gone; we give it a
home in' our heart, receiving it as a
lesson from that wisest of all teach
ers, Mother Nature.
Reader, is life like a dreary No
vember day to you ? Are the clouds
lowering above your head with gloo
my, threatening aspect? Does the
sun hide his cheerful face from your
eyes, weary with looking for the bet
ter time? And are your loved ones
fading from your sight even as the
autumn leaves? Patience yet a little
w hile. Look upward with the eye of
faith, and in your darkest hours re
member, “At evening-time, there
shall ho light.”
Sunny South. —An advertisement
of this paper appears elsewhere, of
fering increased attractions to sub
scribe for it. We are glad to hear
that the Sunny South is a success, for
it will compare favorably with any
Northern journal, either in regard to
its contents or its appearance, and
the Southern people should see that
it is sustained.
An Assorted Stock. —-The Recor
der says that a Milledgeville butcher
killed a beef, tbe other day, and took
from the paunch, a watch key, a
nickel, a lump of lead, a piece of hoop
iron, a pin, about half a pound of nails,
and a key check marked “W. A.
Cary, Craw fordville, Ga.”
This beef evidently made away
with Cary, or with his clothes.
Where is Cary ?
