THE WEEKLY 1 ELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER, FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1884 P
BIBB IN THE WAR.
-A'Ofief Record of the Military Companies
In the Confederate service
From this County.
LIBB COUNTY CAVALRY.
As early as 1833 a military corps was or
ganized in Macon under the name ot Bibb
County Cavalry. In 1836 the hostile In
dians were committing depredations n
Alabama and along the Chattahoochee
river, until about the last of April that
part of the State was in an alarming con
dition, and an open war was made against
the whites. Governor Clay, of Alabama,
and 8chley, of Georgia, called out the mi
litia of their respective States. The Geor
gia companies, forty-four in all, number
ing 1200 men, quickly rendezvoused at
Columbus, including the Bibb County Cav
alry, Capt. Eleazar McCall, which left
Macon for action on the 27th of May.
Governor Schley passed through Macon
on the 29th of May, en rout!e to Columbus,
accompanied by Generals Winfield Scott
and M. S. Jcsup. After disposing of the
troops at Columbus, General Jesup select
ed the Bibb and Talbot county cavalry as
an escort for a reconnoissance of the In
dian camps between that place and Tuske.
Ala. They passed within three miles
of ^t*ah Micco’s camp, which contained
700 Indian warriors, and came upon a
large body of them. The two companies
were tormed for action, fired and killed a
number of the liostiles. After riding six
ty miles they reachedTuskegeethat night,
and the next day proceeded within twen
ty miles of Montgomery, Ala. Upon their
return, the following order was issued,
which is copied from tne original manu
script in the possession of the family of
the late Capt. McCall:
"HEADQUARTER!* WESTERS DIVISION
the Army or tiie South, Tlskkc.ee,
June 5th. ! 836.—Order No. 2.—Major-
General Jesup returns thanks to Copt.
McCall and Cant. Bush, uml the officers
and soldiers ot their commands for their
good conduct and soldierly deportment on
their march from Columbus to this place;
and particularly for the promptness with
which they formed for action, and the
firmness they evinced when the enemy
were reported to l>e in their front. The
gallant Waring on that occasion is suffi
cient evidence of their determination to do
their duty; and that should occasion oiler
they will do honor to themselves and their
country. M. 8. Jesup."
The company acted as a guard to the
Governor to Fort Mitchell, and joined the
expedition to Roanoke and found that
place had been reduced to ashes by the
Indians. On the 27th of June they reach
ed Concord,twenty-five miles from Cuthbert
and near the place where thirteen per
sons, including women and children, had
been massacred and a large number bad
ly wounded. On the 29th tlvey reached
Cbickasawhatchie swamp, where the In
dians were secreted. The cavalry dis
mounted, formed into infantry and went
into the swamp. The Indians fired upon
them, killing one and wounding seven. A
charge was made, when the hdians tied
leaving everything in their camp upon a
hammock except their women and child
ren. Fifteen bodies of their dead were left
in their flight. On the 12th the hostiles
were again found in the swamp and again
defeated. The war was soon afterwards
by the surrender of the Indian;
Alabama.
On the breaking out of the late war a
Bibb county cavalry corps was organized
under Captain Lockett and served six
months in the vicinity of Savannah, where
it disbanded.
On May 2.1862. a new corps, the Bibb
County Cavalry, was organized for the war
in Confederate service by the election of
Samuel S. Dunlap captain with 100 men.

Atlanta Coins Alone.
Savannah News.
Commissioner Bacon, who has just re
turned from Atlanta, states that the gen
tleman who 1ms been selected by that city
to manage the Atlanta exhibit at the New
Orleans Exposition Is making arrange,
ments to erect a building o be devoted
exclusively to the display of articles
from Atlanta, and which are to be
known &9 the Atlanta exhibit. Under the
general plan, the State of Georgia is to
nave a large space in the building devot
ed to the several States, am! it is under
stood that everything from the State is to
be placed there so as to show the immense
variety of its products.
It is to be regretted if this plan and un
derstanding nre not to be carried out. If
Atlanta concludes to put up a tent and
run an independent show, other towns
may feel that they are not particularly
called on to sustain the honor of the State,
and may conclude to let the State look out
for itself.
The State has honored Atlanta by mak
ing her its capital. It lias conferred on
her whatever glory and profit it could. If
the plan of her commissioner is carried
out it will be said that Atlanta, when she
could contribute something to the irlory
of the State, selfishly refused. Atlanta
may take pride in her separate exhibit,
but certainly no Georgian outside
of that city who feels a priue in bis State
—and what Georgian does not ?—will man
ifest anv enthusiasm with regard to it.
The aim of all the towns and all the coun
ties should be to push the State to the
front and give it ns prominent a place as
possible. What benefits Georgia benefits
the towns and people of Georgia. It is
some satisfaction to know that the separ
ate exhibit scheme does not meet with the
approval of a very large j»ortion of the At
lanta |*eople. It is rather remarkable that
the movement to give Georgia a proud
place at the ex|>ositiou should receive the
cold shoulder from the State capital.

What Is Leaal Advertising.
Atlanta Journal.
The decision of Judge Hammond in re
ference to what constitutes legal advertise
ments is one of great inijK>rtance to our
citizens, and should bedistinetly remem
bered. Yesterday, in the Mills cose, as in
several other case's within a few years past ,
the court decided that sheriffs and city
marshal’s and other olficial advertise
ments published in the Sunday issues of
the newspapers are not legal, offered as
evidence. To make such notices legal
they must be published a certain number
of times, at certain intervals, >n secular
days only. Let our readers remember
this important fact in their business and
court affairs. >
Good Suggestions.
Richmond Dispatch.
The New York Graphic makes the fol
lowing suggestions to tne Democratic Na
tional convention:
1. The adoption of a platform before go
ing into the nomination of candidates for
President and Vice-President.
2. Tiiat there be no changing of votes
during a ballot.
3. That at least one night shall intervene
between the selection of the first and sec
ond candidates on the ticket.
These all strike us os good suggestions.
The trick of packing the galleries with vis
itors who will applaud the delegates that
change their votes during the progress of
a ballot will thus be forefended. If the
last had been a rule of the Cincinnati con
vention of 1880, Mr. English would hardly
have received the nomination for Vice-
President.
Price of Cotton.
Philadelphia Press.
The cotton supply is rapidly reaching a
point whero a rapid advance in the raw
material appears not improbable, the only
obstacle lying in the reduced profit on the
manufactured article, which has grentlv
diminished, and may continue to diminish
the pressure of demand. The supply to
April 4 has been 1,003,254 bales (a seventh)
less than last year, and the visible supply
is .165,399 less than last year; while a
month ago, although the total receipts
were as small In proportion as now, the
visible supply was and for months * had
been abont on a level with n year ago.
In other words, while a decrease
in supply for six months
had not changed the current amount of
cotton on hand, in the past month this
amount has been reduced about a tenth.
If this reduction goes on it will very soon
reach a point where prices will be sharply
affected. The consumption in the United
States is less this year almost in propor
tion to the falling off of the crop, but ft is
not in Great Britain and Euro;*. So far,
prices seem to have been been kept down
by the rapidity with which a short crop
has been marketed; but it seems certain
that for the rest of the crop year the sup
ply will sharply diminish, and the only
uuestion as to price lies In the demand for
fhe manufactured article.

icle and con*tUutionalut.
General Grant does not appear to be
much of a negropbilist. He received, yes
terday, a deputation of colored veterans
in silence, and shook off the crowd as rap
idly as possible. There was a tremendous
row raised when he desired to buy a West
India island and colonize the blacks there*
but it was really an attempt to unload
what he foresaw to he a fearful burden for
the party and country* to bear. I am sat
isfied that a majority of the Republican
leaders would willingly get rid of the col
ored element if they knew how. Bathed in
that wav and |terp!exed politically. North
and South, by. an abnormal balance of
power, the new device is to help educate
the illiterate of all colors and conditions,
with a hope that a smattering of erudition
may allay an evil imjKja.sible of permanent
cure. A large proportion of Senators from
the South have acted wisely in co-oj»er
ating with their Republican associates,
and. a* I said before, showed their sense
by taking tl.e cold end of the poker Instead

CUBA LIBRE.
A Cuban Patriot on Ceneral Aguero’a Ex
pedition.
Times-DemocraL
In an interview with a well-known
Cuban, but whose name must necessarily
be a blank (for reasons too palpable to
mention) the following facts were gathered
by a Times-Democrat reporter In reference
to the condition of affairs respecting the
much talked-of filibustering expedition.
Said he: Cuba will most assuredly gain
its point. No matter what forces may be
called upon or placed on the island by the
Spanish government, the result will be, in
the course of time, liberty to the Cubans.
If nothing else were to interpose, the ex
hausted condition of the Spanish treasury
alone would cause the island to become
one of the American republics.
The arrival of the Agucro expedition is
regarded as one more aid to the others al
ready eager for the fray. On Aguero's ar
rival, it is claimed that many other leaders
will be in readiness to unite w ith him, and
who are only waiting for arms and ammu
nition to assist him in raising an army.
"But how can the Cubans compete
against so large a military force as the
Spaniards nave on the island,” queried the
T.-l). reporter.
"It matters not liow small the number
may be of Cuban soldiers, whatever fight
ing is to be done, we are bound to be vic
torious,” replied the putriot; "for,” said
he, "the Cubans occupy the winning posi
tion. and are acquainted with the hill- and
woods which surround the country, and
know how to take advantage of their
knowledge.”
"What have the Cubans done of late?”
’‘Clubs have been reorganized at all the
emigration points, such ns New York.
Boston, Philadelphia, Vera Cruz. New Or
leans, Key West, etc., since Gen. Aguero
has visited them, and at the several meet
ings called by him funds were raised to aid
the cause. Not only this—every Cuban on
the island and every Cuban who may have
been forced to leave his country knows but
one ambition, and that is Viva Cuba, and
they will one and all fiock to the live-
pointed star when the bugle sound calls to
arms. Moreover,” said the Cuban, “one
of the principle banks in Havana failed
lately on account of Spain refusing or fail
ing to recognize their paper. This was
followed by the suppression of payments
in other banks in Cuba, thus showing
the incapacity of the Spanish government
financially. Commercial houses have also
felt the shock, and are failing rapidly in
succession.
"The vessel that lately ran the gauntlet
and landed some twenty men and consid
erable ammunition put in at Hicacos,
which is the port for Cardenas, a town of
25.000 inhabitants.

tlal Candidate—Interview with
Wm. Henry Woods.
Anniston Hot Blast.
Mr. Wm, Henry Woods, of New York,
reached the city yesterday to look after
the affairs of the Alabama Mineral Land
Company, of which he is the president
Mr. Woods is an Alabamian, but is now
residing in New York and is well informed
on political and current events. Knowing
he was posted as to the drift of public
opinion regarding who would likely be the
nominee of the Democratic party, we
sought an opportunity to get his views on
the subject. Mr. Woods,, in reply to our
question touching presidential matters,
said: "There is no question about it. If
the Democrats expect to win in the coming
election they must carry New York, and t«
do that they must head the ticket with a
New York man.”
"Well, who is the man?”
"It is a foregone conclusion that the
man to nominate, by all odds, is Roswell
I*. Flower.”
"Wherein is his strength?” we asked.
"He is strong with everybody. He is
particularly strong before the great mass

record is just about as pefezt as it could be
made. lie is regarded as one o! the best

PLOW
ail, he is the only man in New York
who can unite the Democratic par
ty in that State. You know there are
three Democratic factions in New York—
the Tammany, the Irving Hall and the
County Democracy, aft more hitter toward
each other than toward the Republicans.
Mr. Flower has never mixed himself with
their dissensions, and they would all unite
on him and thus he could carry New York
by over 100,000 votes. We all know it takes
money to carry doubtful States, and in
this connection I venture to say if Flower
is the nominee a campaign fund will be
raised larger than ever raised for anj other
candidate at any time; yes, two or three
times as much as ever went into a cam
paign fund.”
"Where will this money come from?”
"From his personal ami political friends,
and a large amount of it from rich Repub
licans who are disgusted with the methods
of their narty. They all know how strong
he is before the people and how solid he

that all ailments of the stomach, kidneys and

t is known there tiiat since Aguero
started from Key West the Spanish insur

Nevertheless, the belief y in the steadiness of
America’s friendship is so strong that there
are no fears in official circlet of any move
ment on the part of the United States or
its diplomats to complicate matters by
even suggesting the purchase of Cuba. Ah
to other nations of Europe interfering, the
good understanding between Germany and
Spain will, it Is said, effectually prevent
any such movement.

from Cuba that Auguero’s force now num

Hi!ALL CUBA BE OURM?
The subject of the annexation of Cuba to
the United States was first mooted jiiHt
after the French Republic was proclaimed,
in 1848. The American government, while
willing it should remain a Spanish colony,
declared that no other foreign government
should ever possess it. In 1825 Spain had
proposed to cede Cuba to the United States
In consideration of certain commercial
concessions, hut this was declined. In
1H4H President Polk offered to buy the
island for 81,000,000, but to this Spain
would not lisu-n. In 1849 u filibusterini
expedition under Ixipcz was prevent)
by the United States government. A sec
ond expedition got away successfully, but
Lopez was defeated, and himself garroted
and other leaders publicly shot. Since
1852 the question of the acquisition of Cuba
bus entered freely into American politics.
In 1851 Buchanan, Mason and Soule.
American ministers at London, Paris ami
Madrid, drew up the celebrated Ostein
manifesto, urging that Cuba, should belong
to the United States and that if Spain
would not sell it should be taken, under
certain contingencies, by force.

In 1858-9 the United States Senate con

of Louisiana. It was finally withdrawn.
The sum uarueil in the bill, which was re
ported favorably bv both the committees
of the Senate and Ifoune, was proposed to

purjawe, but to enable the President to
make a payment to the Spanish govern-
ment, on the full ratification of the treaty
by Spain, without vaiting for Its ratifica

ot the money by Congress. A minority re-
K rt was presented by the House commit-

tiiat Cuba would be an unprofitable
acquisition, owing to the necessity of pre
venting internal disorders which would be
sure to arise, and tiiat it would be & dan*

Garfield are not elected that the country
will be financially ruined. There are few
outside of New York who know how this
kind of talk has frightened thu moneyed
men of both parties, and as a consequence
brought out more campaign funds for the
Republicans. If Flower heads the ticket
this card will be in our hands, for his
record in Congress mil as a business man

"They do not think about it at all. To
nominate it Is simply out of the question.
Tilden is physically unable to make the
race, and would not accept the nomination
under any circumstances. If he were
nominated and were to accept, it would
result in a fearful defeat for the Democratic
party. His nomination would be consid
ered an effort to practically make Hen
dricks President/ and on that ground
alone we would lose New York.
The old ticket boom is being dil
igently nursed by a few politicians who
under that cover, expect to name the nom
inee of the Democratic party. Everybody
in New York understands that.”
"How does Flewer stand in other
States.”
Hu stands first-class everywhere, and
his great speech in (Congress on the Chi
nese question will bring to his support
California, Oregon and Colorado. You
mark it. that with Flower as the nominee,
the Democrats will win, and I do not know
of any other man just now who we can
whip the fight with.

Bad* Blood
Is inclined to come to the surface in the
spring because of the effort made by good
old mother nature to throw it off. If na
ture does not have help at this time, the
poison may go back to the system and
produce all mannerof ills; but by the aid
of Swift's Specific the bad blood is all
driven out through the pores of the skin,
and |N-rmancntly relieves the trouble. This
remedy is a purely vegetable and harmless
prepdt'stion, but ho |>owerful an antidote
to blood poison, that it finds and roots it
all out. I>o not be deceived by mercury
and potash mixtures, which drive In the
poison, only to come out again in a worse
form.
I have cured permanently Blood Taint
in tne third generation by the use of,
Swift’s Specific, after I had most signally *
failed with mercury and potash.

Look to the Presidential Electors.
Philadelphia Times.
It was not until the close Presidential con
test oi 1876-7 that both parties were waked
up to the fact that no mar. is eligible to the
office of Presidential elector who bools
any other official position.
The Electoral College system was found
ed on fhe theonr that the electors should
exercise a sound and independent discre
tion in the choice of President and Vice-
President, and they were, therefore, re
quired to be free from ail the presumed
obligations of political power. The theory
ha< long since perished, but the law re
mains.
Both parties should he especially careful
in the formation of electoral tickets, to
•elect men who are clearly eligible to the
office. We have had one grave admoni-. , , .
