Dear “Old DeSoto,”
Florida.
Your recent reminiscences of
“Bragg’s campaign through Ten
nessee and'Kentucky,” and more
especially of the battle of Perry-
ville, Ky., coming to my observa-
throngh a Florida journal, does
not fail to awaken responsive mem
ory in me, carrying my mind back
again, as by an electric flash, to
the occurrences, and over the
scenes of that eventful conflict—so
quick, so fierce and so bloody.
These reminiscences from an eye
witness, and no doubt participant
in the whole, the truth of which is
so clearly and correctly outlined,
together with the graphic descrip
tion, or mention of the valor of the
Florida and other Southern sol
diers, evokes and quickens inclina
tion to chat- with you more in de
tail over that long ago, that desper
ate battle; and again to add the
weight of my testimony and the
impression made upon me in the
days that “Tried men’s souls,” by
the “little Florida soldiers,” (so
called daring’the • war because of
generally smaller stature) as they
stood, seemed to me ten feet high
in the manly and valorous support
of our battery—Southern Rights,
or Palmer’s battery. Many of my
old battery companions still live
near me, and have not forgotten
the Floridians, the Tennesseans
and the Mississippians who bled
and died on that occasion that we
might be saved. All, as one man
would corrobarate all yon have
said or can say to the young men
of your state as to the valor of their
fathers.

but corroborative evidence from
other soldiers and from so many
yet living sources, must make a
case that will stand.
Through and under all the fluct
uations of nearly thirty years,
“DeSoto,” I have not forgotten the
prominent valor of the Floridiaus
at Perryville, Ky.
My love for the “old Confed,”
may exert an extraordinary influ
ence, or hold me unduly fascinated,
but iu introducing myself to you
as then and now Georgian . and
farmer artilleryman, who witness
ed and engaged in that death strug
gle, I would have yon know first,
last, and always, that I still love
the old Florida soldiers. That
same boy who, in instances, bare
footed and ragged, -stood to our
gans, our battery at. Perryville,
where death ran riot on every
hand. I loved them then for what
they were on that mos: terrible
field, and love them still to-day be
cause they were not afraid to die
for what they honestly conceived
to be the right.
Where is any grander plane for
man to stand on? * On it the Flo
ridians stood with the little band
(battery) of Georgians, amid the
dying Tennesseans and Mississip
pians on Perry ville’s bloody field—
for principle they dared to die, all
■alike. The generation of to-day,
to-morrow, and the next, and the
next, I hope will not forget this, nor
that their predecessors in valor and
devotion to a cause they had es
poused as just, were the equals of
any that ever did or ever will live.
Their record stands out in bold let
ters and cannot be obliterated so
so long as history shall be pre
served.
• And now, “DeSoto,” after this
brief comment or introduction, I
would invite you to ramble with
me in memory over that memora
ble field where so many of the rank
and file at first had not the re
motest idea of the exact position
of the enemy.
Although so long a time has
elapsed since Perry ville’s old fields
blazed and resounded withcannoD,
yet it has not blunted my memory
nor shut out a return of the emo
tions that filled or shot through
my whole nature. • I feel it, I know
it, I see it; the wild rush, the car
nage, the blood, all rise up before
me as a mighty ghost that existed
in reality.
Come first then “DeSoto,” and
pass with me hurriedly through
the skirt of woods, and as we
emerge therefrom cast your eye
quickly over the old fields inter
vening between the Confederate
flief against the other.
Well, do I remember, “DeSoto,’
that grandest of charges by Gen
John C. Brown’s command of Mis
sissippians, Tennesseans, Floridi
ans and Georgians, first through
and under cover of the woods, and
how, as we emerged therefrom into
the fields, the world seemed lit up
from the high ridge with pande
monium itself, and all coming
down on our heads from the Fed
eral lines; but not a pause, not a
misstep could be seen in any di
rection to the right or left as onr
lines moved over that stretch of al
most a mile throagh this terrible
and frightful fire. Nor at this mo
ment coaid one gun be heard from
the Confederates, as steadily on
ward they moved through this rain
of hail and death. Well do Ire-
member the great roadways knock
ed throagh our infantry by shell
and solid shot, the immediate clos
ing up the lines, as if on dress pa
rade, while strewing the pathway-
in the rear with dead and wounded
men; or, as again and again the
wil'd shout of the Confederates rose
above the din of battle in defiance
’of this slaughter, as still onward,
rushing upon the foe.
Aye! the shrieking shells, rapid
concentration of battery after bat
tery by the enemy upon onr lone
battery on this portion of the line,
and the plunging and almost un
manageable battery horses in the
midst of the bursting shells from
the enemy on the ridge. The fences
iu onr front to be partially leveled
by the cannoneers and passed
over by the battery carrying great
lengths of fence panels under the
wheels of the guns, sometimes per
haps twenty-five or more yards,
endangering the lives of the bat-
terymen even equal to tbe burst
ing shells; the old field gullies to
be vaulted by the horses as the
great spurs of the drivers left
trails of blood trickling from the
flauks of the poor animals, as also
great whelks from the heavy whips
of the drivers lashed around their
sides urging them over the obstruc
tions and through the explosions
of the death dealing missels Well
do I remember, “DeSoto,” how
my battery companions and my
self pushed- with desperation
through all this rain of fire ahead
of the battery, partially leveling,
as only we bad time, the fences to
make .way for the maddening rash
p£ the heavy Napoleon guns, each
soldier looking out for himself as
best he could to avoid being killed
by the flying fence rails under the
wheels of the cannon; the plung
ing and snorting horses over a
seething shell, the ontcry of the
soldier as he sank down in death
or wounded, to be left writhing in
pain, helpless and alone..
Well do I remember the deport
ment and dash of onr gallant Cap
tain of battery, Joe Palmer, wlm
while always ready and willing to
lead or go to the cannon’s month,
yet possessing an unconscious pen
chant for dodging and tacking his
head from side to side, still accom
plished the feat with so much grace
and nonchalance as to inspire all
around to feel that once lie had
waded half-way the stream there
was no turning back,” but would
plunge through at all hazards,
even beyond if possible* the fore
most man in the fray;or again, him,
who when enquired of by a bat
tery companion, just as we reached
fnll range of minnie balls and
grape shot, why be dodged so vig
orously and industriously from
side to side, replied with -an excited
laugh, “It’s so d—n hot I can’t
help it,it seems to give mebpth air
and relief.” Bat, “DeSoto,” this
litte personal icem roast remain in
parenthesis or kept to yourself, for
our gallant and clever old Joe is
still living and would declare it a
creation of my own brain without
a foundation in fact, yet I would
again swear that lie was as ever
ready to dodge 'as*always willing
and prepared to go to the front.
He told the God’s truth when he
Cheatham’s corps came thundering
t,o, the rescue, and the last seen
of Haj. Joe was his bare head bob
bing up and down where men fell
like leaves.
These personalities I have caught
on the wing and appropriated or
embodied in this letter to- yon, to
hold up some of the personal char
acteristics of the -bravest and most
daring natures.

WE MUST STAND TOGETHER.
Augusta Chronicle.
There never was a time in the
history of this country, when thq
sensible, self-respecting and patri
otic people of the South needed
■more wisdom and unity than the
present.
The Republican party is bent on
our subjection. Every means,
whether fair or foul, will be used
for our political subjugation. We
have barely a fighting chance. We
have not by any means an even op
portunity in a fair field to contest
for the mastery. ’ Sometimes, on
account of onr own dissensions
over men, not measures, we have
despaired of our party having
sense enough left to save it from
defeat and disaster.
With third party cranks and un
principled demagogues and office
seekers, w ho are engaged in de
ceiving the people with all sorts of
wild and socialistic schemes, it be
hooves the South to combine to
defeat the conspirators who are
ready to desert their principles
and sell their birthrights for a
mess of pottage. But they will fail
in carrying the farmers into the
Third party. The farmers will re
main true to the principles and
the party of their fathers. There
is no relief for them outside of the
Democratic party.
The Republican press and par: y
are as bitter and unrelenting in the
prosecution of their efforts to bring
about the force bill as ever. Their
politicians and papers take no step
backward. In conventions and
through the press they demand the
passage oE the force bill. In view
of this menace, this impending po
litical calamity, what.Southern man
who has any respect for his man
hood or the liberties and rights of
his people and his State, can hesi
tate as to hisdnty?.
Onr people mast unite and stand
together. They must remain faith
ful to the Democratic party. To
desert it now in tbe face of a ma
lignant enemy would be traitorous,
cowardly and in the last degree
the act of politcal madness. There
is no hope for the South except in
the Democratic party, and in its
control of the governments of the
Southern States. There is no po
litical or financial relief for the
Southern people except throagh
Democratic control of the Federal
government. And this we can only
secure by standing together for
onr principles and our liberties and
onr rights.

list The policy adopted at the be
ginning of this Congress of attack
ing singly andin order some of the
more conspicuous abases and exac
tions o( tiie McKinley tariff is go
ing to be very popular with tbe peo
ple when it comes to be-fully un
derstood, as its effect when carried
out will be to give relief where it
will*benefit the greatest number of
people—where it is most needed—
without attempting to Upset the
entire system. Free wool is al
ready secured, so far as tbe House
is concerned, and the Ways and
Means Committee has decided to
report a bill to pnt lumber on the
“free list,” also. Any legislation
which will reduce the price of lum
ber to the people at large will be
commendable and wise even if it
is not favorable to the compa
nies and syndicates who own most
of the timber lands in this coun
try.
Another measure which the peo
ple at large are much interested in
will come up in a few days also.
This is Mr. Hatch’s anti-option
bill. There is every reason to be
lieve that the bill will pass the
House, though a vigorous fight
will be made against it. The ob
ject of this measure is to stop the
gambling and making of “corners”
iu farm products. The option-
trading or buying and selling of
pats” and “calls” in these prod
ucts by persons who do not own
nor intend to become owners of a
single bushel of anything, not only
causes unhealthy fluctuations in
prices at times, but is a traffic de
moralizing in its tendencies and
against every consideration of
public policy. It ought-to be pro
hibited just as every other species
of gambling is made illegal. Yet
the friends of that kind of specu
lation are working to defeat the
Hatch bill and set np as one of
their arguments against it that
snch a prohibitory law would in
terfere with our foreign commerce,
a3 under the present system pur
chases are made for foreigu deliv
ery. This claim is all rot—the
thinnest kind of special .pleading.
There can be no possible reason
why bona fide foreign orders for
produce.of any kind can not be as
readily filled in a legitimate way
as by the option method.
Ex-Speaker Reed has blossom
ed forth as a Presidential candidate,
allied himself with the anything to
beat Harrison element. It is un
derstood that he has the Maine
delegation at his service. The ex-
Czar has a couple of grudges
against the President and says that
he cannot support him under any
circumstances. Certainly Mr. Reed
would’ not be an illogical candidate
for his party at this juncture. He
deserves well of the tariff lords
whom he served in getting the
McKinley bill through the House,
and it was his cynical disregard of
public opinion that carried through
the Force bill, the Subsidy laws
and a lot of other jobs* and meas
ures, which constitute the policy
of and program of this party. His
audacity is more charming to tbe
rank and file than is the Presi
dent’s phlegmatic obstinacy. Mr.
Reed is, in fact, just now abont
the most popular “Statesman” his
party has, and best exemplifies its
attitude toward ‘popular rights.
Presidential lightning is erratic.
It is not impossible that it may
once more strike a Maine man for
the nomination.

is sac^i a place on the Georgia
map as Powersville. Well, there
is, and it is situated only twenty-
one miles from Macon, on the
Southwestern railroad, and was
named in honor of Col. Virgil
Powers, of Macon. The entire
place and lands surrounding be
long to the Warrens, one of the
most prominent old-time families
of Houston county. Here at Pow
ersville, on an elevated plateau
Mr. W. E. Warren owns one of the.
finest orchards in the state. He
has a splendid crop of peaches,
pears and wild goose plnm3, and is
the only one in the county who
has any crop of the two latter
fruits. His trees show that they
have been well cared for, and are
in the best condition for rapid
gathering, without injury to the
trees, of any orchard iu the coun
ty, and are a veritable gold mine.
Mr. Warren expects to ship fully
seven crates of peaches to.every
tree he has, and will get three
bushels of LeConte pears, and as
many wild goose plums’to the tree.
Adjoining Mr. Warren, Messrs.
J. H. M. Cliett,- George Scatter T
good, C. J. Van Der Chys, recent
ly from Holland, and others, have
fine orchards and vineyards, from
which they expect to receive large
sums of money tins season. Mr.
L. M. Barnes, an experienced to
bacco grower, cam4 out here in
January last and looked the land
over to secure soil adapted to to
bacco growing, and after a careful
examination he selected the lands
around Powersville as the best
adapted in the county, and imme
diately made arrangements with
some of the best farmers in that
vicinity to plant and care for a few
acres for each, as an experiment.
So certain is Mr. Barnes of suc
cess that he asked for no remu
neration, but takes an interest in
the proceeds of the crop, and if it
is a failure, Mr. Barnes will be
worse off than any of them who
furnished the land and fertilizers.
The following parties will plant
the number of acres following their
names: W. E. Warren, twelve;
G. F. Scattergood, ten; S. M. Bas
sett, ten; B. F. Cbeeves, five; W.
W. Churn, five; W. C. Epting,five;
C. J. Van Der Cbys, six, making
fifty-three acres around this place
iu tobacco. An average .yield is
1,000 pounds to the acre, and tbe
price ranges from 4 to 75 cents a
pound. The cost of cultivating
and curing is about tbe same as
cotton, and tbe average price ob
tained on a crop is about 12 cents
a pound, but owing to the short
stock now on hand they expect the
average price to go to 18 or 20
cents a pound tbig year, [f this
experiment is a success, the farm
ers around hospitable Powersville
will certainly be iu a streak of
good financial lack, for the lands
are as well, or better adapted to

than any trees in the county, and

of such folly, it would take but lit
tle figuring to demonstrate that, in-
hat delay and H
hinder successful farm operations
would do far better, standing idle
in the pasture than in wanton lazi
ness or constitutional inability de
laying work that is expensive in
its demands. Time is money, and
far too valuable for a poor .man to
throw away in expensive effort ami-
wasted Energies without properly-
compensating return.
Another instance of wasted en
ergies- will Jbe found in the poor
lands of farmers till. It is really
pitiable, if not provoking, to see a
farmer whose necessities are so
great that he cannot afford to strike
one lick without reward, spending
days and weeks and months work
ing lands that will scarcely sprout
the seed he puts into th.em. May
this not be one of the main causes
for much, of onr ■ poverty of purse
—the poverty of land and the con
sequent waste of effort in fruitless
toil?
A still more striking instance
can be found, however, in the cul
tivation of crops with an absolute
certainty that they will not be re
munerative. It would seem an im
possible thing to believe that an
intelligent mau would prepare his
land diligently and faithfully, ex
pend his money for fertilizers and
hire expensive labor to cultivate a
crop that he has every possible
reason to believe will bring him in
debt; snch conduct is just as cer
tainly financial suicide as drawing-
a razor across the neck will pro
duce physical death.
Will a sensible man plant an or
ange tree in North Georgia in the
open air with all the contingencies
of climate against the maturity of
the fruit, just trusting that a suffi
cient number cf successive winters
will prove mild and pleasant and
secure for him a paying crop of
frnit? I cannot believe snch con
duct could be called wise, with
such conditions so strongly against
success.
Is not this almost a perfect par
allel to the condust of Georgia fai-
mers who prepare their lands, pur
chase fertilizers and hire labor lo
grow cotton that is to be sold for
six cents, when it will cost them
from eight and a half to nine cents
to pnt it upon the market on the
bare hope that the price will be
better, when year after year it gets
worse?
A fair-sample of middling cot
ton sold in this market a few days
since for five ‘and a half cents.
This stands out as a sign post to
the farmers. Any man w'ho looks
at it, and then deliberately pre
pares his fields for another crop at
heavy expense is flying in the face
of fate and daring the facts that
make his financial rnin.
