CHAPTEK XLYI.
Oar company, as has already
been stated, was mustered into the
Confederate service as part of the
sixth [Regiment of Georgia vol
unteers, which was the first reg
imentto tender its services to the
Confederacy for thr^e years, or
daring the existance of the war,
which the people at that time v/ere
blind enough to believe would be
ephemeral—not exceeding three,
oi six months—at farthest, bat the
gods of fate decreed otherwise, and
we served four years, lacking one
month. Before we saw the certain
of time drop upon the closing
scenes of the bloody drama, and
this occured in the midst of cir
camstances more humiliating than
any of us will ever care to experi.
ence again. After four years of ser
vice, which, for gallantry, and pa
triotic devotion to the cause for
which we contended, with the cov
eted goal several times seemingly
in sight, we were forced to accept
a situation which displaced the old
political landmarks of oar revolu
tionary ancestors, under which we
had been reared, and substituted
political conditions new and un
tried—vague aod visionary—mix
ed with sectional hatred—which
finally ripened into race hatred,
tbns establishing, in our once
peaceable country, a state of affairs,
the end of which, our most saga
cious and prophetic statesman can
not even conjecture, because there
is a latent political, or rather, sec
tional feeling which, seemingly,
smothered, will crop out biennially,
and quadrennially, to disturb the
peace aud weal of the political
economy of the country; and it will
require the in coming aod out go
iog of several generations yet be
fore this unhappy state of feeling
is entirely obliterated—if it ever
is. It would be difficult to conceive
of anything more inimical to good
government than two or more het
erogeneous elements in the popu
lace,—one, or more of which, is in.
ferior by nature to the other, but
all being equal before the law, and
enjoying equal rights and franchis
es.
Such a state of affairs will inva
riably bring unrest to the snperior
element, or race. It is too much
like enclosing a lion and a sheep
in the same fold and trying to feed
each with fresh meat. Is it any
wonder, then, that several of the
United States senators, especially
the southern senators, in the ab
sence of some well defined, definite
policy, upon the part of this coun
try, as to the future of our newly
acquired territory, should have vo-
ed against the treaty of peace,
tformulated by special coinmision
ers, in pursuance of a protocol
looking to a termination of hostil
ities between this country and
Spain. The population of those
territories is a conglomeration of
heterogeneous elements, and a jar
gon of tongues, unsuited to either
colonial, territorial, or state hood
relations with our people. But I
am disgressing. Our company en
tered the service with a full quota,
eighty men, rank and file, and af
terward received eighty-fon.- re
cruits, making a total of one hun
dred and sixty-four men, first to
last, daring the war. Forty-five of
these were killed in-battle, and fif
teen died of disease contracted in
the service, and eight were perma
nently dis abled for life, by reason
of wounds, and are receiving pen
sions. So that the death rate of
the company was equal to nearly
one-third of its whole number. For
various reasons there were but
nine of the company present at the
surrender at Greensborough, N. 0.,
on the 26th, day of April 1865, and
these have styled themselves the
Immortal Nine” and are very
proud of their title. Four of these
have died since tbe-war, leaving
five of them alive at this writing,
and of lhe latter, the writer of this
narrative is one.

Golden text;—‘‘Jesus Said un
to her, I am the resurrection and
(he life; he that believeth in Me,
t^pugh he were dead, yet shall he
live.” John 11:25.
In the peaceful Bethany home
there is sorrow; two devoted sisters
mourn a departed brother. Pa
tiently and lovingly they care for
the sick one as they sighed, “If
Jesus only knew.” In vain they
watch through the open door hop
ing the loved one will come while
the brother grows steadily worse
and closes his eyes into death.
Sorrowing friends bear the lov
ed form to the silent tomb, and
the sisters return to the empty
home. Jesus loved Lazarus, Mar
tha and Mary. Their beautiful
home was his earthly retreat from
life’s vexing cares. Where is he
now? Does He not care that His
friends are in sorrow? While in
Bethabara, beyond Jordan, Jesns
is suffering with His far away
friends, though they knew it not.
A word, a touch from the Healer,
aud Lazarus might have been saved
from the grave! But the great,
deep lessons of Divine truth which
He wished to teach could be given
only through death.
Impetuous Martha, h°ariugthat
Jesus is coming, goes to meet Him.
Lost iu gloom and in regret over
the trouble that might have been
saved her, she fails to grasp the
present blessing not? offered: “I am
the resurrection and the life; he'
that believeth on Me, though he
die, yet shall he live; and whoso
ever liveth and believeth on Me
Ishall never die.”
Still Jesus lingers outside the
village .awaiting the coming of
Mary, desiring in solitude to sym
cathize with and prepare the sis
ters for the sudden change from
death to life!
As they make their way to the
rock bound tomb, “Jesus wept.
Oh, what Divine love could wring
tears from one so strong! Wbat
sympathy, to feel every pang and
joy of the human heart leaning on
Him for supportl What though
relentless heath has claimed its
victim for four days, when the Giv
er of life commands! “Take ye
away the stone:” human effort has
always its part in Divine purpose!
A moment of silence as Jesus
lifts His heart to His Almighty
Father in prayer; then the clear
ringing voice of authority: “Lazar
us, come forth!” And behold from
the silent tomb the departed one
returning to his waiting friends!
Hastily the grave clothes are tak
enoffof him and the gentle, lov
ing fi lend aud brother is once
more a part of every day lift! Id
the Bethany home there is joy.
On this Easter morning think
we of some green . mound in a
churchyard, or of a dear one hid
den within the ocean bosom? Be
this our comfort, the same Jesus
who wopt at Bethany sympathizes
with us to day, the same voice that
called the lost brother to life, will
romeday raise all who sleep in
Him. And in the joyous resarrec-
tioD, loving Christian hearts, so
long separated on earth, will be
united for all eternity, through
the power of Him who is “the res
urrection and the life.”
For Christians to Remember.
The religion that costs nothing
is worth nothing.
If the heart is wrong -jiow can
the life Be right.
When we are close to Christ we
never feel any weight in His yoke.
There are no crown weavers in
heaven who were not cross bearers
here.
The measure of one’s love for
another is his willingness to suffer
for him.
There is no better place to serve
God in, than the one in which He
has put us.
Thoserwho serve God only when
they feel like it, never do a full
day’s work.
Some of us would praise God
more if we would find fa At with
our neighbors less.
Oar prayers for more talents will
not be beard unless we are ira
proving those we have.
It is only now and then that God
calls people to preach the gospel
but be calls every convert to be
witness for it.—Ram’s Horn.

How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital
organs. If the liver be inactive,
you have a bilious look; if your
stomach be disordered, you have a
dyspeptic look: if your kidneys be
affected, you have a pinched look.
Secure good health, and you will
surely have good looks. “Electric
Bitters” is a good Alterative and
Tonic. Acts directly on the stom
aehjjiver and kidneys. Purifies
the blood, cures.pirn pies, blotches
and boils, and gives a good com
plexion. Every bottle guaranteed.

Store. 50 cents per bottle.

It has been known for years that
the fraudulent grants of land made
in 1746 during the administration
of Gov. Matthews, did little credit

fraud has only been begun to be
realized within the last few years.
