The strong Union sentiment
that pervaded the counties of
North Georgia, checked the ardor
ot many of the young men at the
opening (>f hostilities, but by the
Spring of the people were
a 1 most a unit iu their sympathy
with, ami adhesion to the Confed
era r c <nse ; and the young men
were mill Dions to porticipite in
/be glory ot acheiving Southern
liidepeitdecii. B' sides this, the
passage o: the coiiscr.pt act, al
ways unpopular in /his State, hur
ried mauy to the front as volun
teers, who detested the idea of
being conscripted to defeud their
own homes Hmee it was not dif
ficult to organize a company tor
Confederate service among the
stalwart and hardy youths of tLis
section of the -State. No better
soldiers ever donned tlie Confed
erate uniform than theie mountain
boys, who were it.ured to hard
ships and dangers, as was demon
stated by i heir record in the long,
bloody con/est.
In April, 1862,the three brigades
of State troops,organiz:>d by Gov
ernor Brown for defense of the
Georgia coast, were disl anded
and the men wno had served »liei>-
State, were enlisting in Confeders
ate -e/vice. In the month of May,
a company was enlisted iu Gains
nett for service, which constituted
part of the 9.h Georgia Battalion j
of Artillery.
There lived at that *ime, noting
the tall hills that skirted the Chat
tahoochee, an old man, whom we
will call Jacob Moorland. He
settled on one of the beautiful
creeks that pour their limped wa
ters in the Chattahoochee, just af
ter that streun had been made the
boundary liue between the whites
aud Cherokee Indians. He was a
veiy prosperous man, and had al
ready given to the cau e his older
sons. His youngest, a tali, mod
es/ boy, had remained at home to
comfort the old man in his decli
ning years. His affections clus
tered around his baby boy, whose
elastic step and gentle manners,
as well as the marked resemblance
to his departed mother, continu
ally remi tided the gray haired old
patriarch of her who had given
aim her heart and hand in the
spring time of life. He too had
caught th# war spirit, aud chaffed
at the parental restrain* tha t kept
him away from the held where
cannon roared and sabres clashed.
Bvu the youth had airivtd at
that age where he was 'ialde to
military duty and hie audition
would net brook the idea of bos
ing a conscript,
The tld man, with many mis
givyigs, at h-st co isented that
Singleton, the prop and stay of his
old age, might go. He volunteer
ed and was boon mustered in for
the war. He was so kind and
gent e and yet so manly aud dur
ing, always ready for duty, on the
long mi.rcli, the lonely picket or
the.tier e conllict, and so modest
and reserved that he s on became
a favorite with oflieers and men.
In .he summer of 1863, lus com
maud was stationed at Knoxville,
Tenn. While there, he received a
let,er from his old father, who
was lingering at death’s door, urg
ing the boy to come heme and see
him before he died. This pathet
ic appeal from his old father touch
ed him deeply. He appealed to
his officers, almost wiih tears, to
gret him a furlough. It was stir
ring times then. Gen. Buckner
waspreparing for h.s forced march
to join Bragg at Chicamauga.
Every man lit for service was re
quired u the front. A general or
der had been issue that no fur
lough be granted except upon
Surgeon’s certificate of disability.
He was informed that ii would be
useless to apply for a furlough
wi hout a cert ; ttcate, aud that he
could not get.
He brooded over his troubles
for a few day«. Another letter
came, urging in still more earnest
tones, that he must come, //is
duty on one side and filial affce
lion on the o her, warred withiu
his breabt. At last he determined
to go and receive the old man’s
blessing. It wis a long tramp
from Knoxville, through the mouti
tarns of Tennessee and Lreorgia to
his old home, bu> wi'h light heart
h. bk.pped over mountains and
along the valleys, until he arrived
at hio father’s side. The return
of his baby boy and his careful
nursing soon restored the old man
to health. The soldier again star ,
ted to his command the same way I
he came, little dreaming of the
ticuble in store for him. H
crossed the Cbattahooche, and
was making Lis way through the
mountains, when he was arrested
by Col. Lee's command, who j
claimed to in, scouutiug for bush- j
whackeis. He protested his in>-
nec nee—th»t he wab net bu-h
--wbacker—but was on his way to i
his command- But his protesta
tions availsd nothing. He was
hurried on to Atlanta, treated
with great indignity and lodged
in a fibliy dungeon Charges were
soon preferred against him as
a jushwhacker, and ho was ar
raigned before a Court Martial.
Outraged at the unjust treatment
he had received, he appeared be
L.re the court, oitter and defiant
and in replying to the accusation
read by the Judge Advoca e, he
cursed the men who had arrested
him and Ute court organized to
convict, defied their power and
toll, them to hang him if they
wanted to.
It didnot take the courf long to
make up its decission. H is con
duct in court confirmed the slight
evidence introduced against him.
He was convicted aud -eu'eneed
as a bush-whacker, lo be hanged
by the neck, until he was dead,
dead, dead.
The day was fixed aud prepara
tions made to execute the sentence.
Before the of ay arrived, that hor
rible disease, small pox, fastened
its fangs upon him and he was
removed from prison to the small
pox hospital. Here he was con
fined under rigid ini'itary guard,
with no opportunity to communi
cate with friends. His old father
heard of his misfortunes and with
a heart full of anguish, he hurried
to Atlauta, onl) to be denied ac
cess to or any communication with
him. .After exhausting his ingenui
ty, he turned his s/eps homeward
' with a sad heart and tottaring
| step, upbraiding himself for allow
j ing /be yearnings of his heart to
induce the boy to forget Lis du
ty-
Before the day for his execution
arrived, an order was granted
pos/poning the execution until lie
recovered- But little be eared,
as he rolled ou his cot, his blood
parched with fever aud his brain
fired with the unjust sentence, in
whaZ foim or at what hour the
messenger came.
In a month or two Singleton
had recovered. He had passed
through one ordeal only to meet
with a more dreadfu’ one. The
department commander now fixed
an other day for his execution.
By one of those accidents as the
world calls it, or the intervention
of Providence, as the Christian be
lieves, his captain returned home
or furlough, just at /his time. Old
man Mooreiand hurried io see him
with the dreauful story, to ask
his 'nlerven/ion to sav« (he life of
his boy The officer was shocked
at the idea r f this gallant soldier
beir.g a bush-whacker- He knew
it was false. Stung with the in
justice of such a sentence, he went
to Atlan/a and sought an interview
wnicu was only obtained by spe
oid order of the Post dammandcr
(Ven’l. Lewis., Mooreiand brok
down for the flist time when he
met his captain. He admitted
he had done wrong but with firsy
indignation denied being a bush
whacker. Thoroughly satisfied
of the truth of the young man's
story, he called on the General for
the charges and evidence Ue on
ly had th sentence and order for
its execution. The Judge Advo
cate when interviewed sta/ed tha/
the record had been forwarded to
Richmond for Presideht Davis’
approval of the sentence; hut add
ed he had grave doub/s of Moore
land’s guilt and his conduct be
fore the court insured bis sonvic
tion
The day for Lis execution was
rapidly approaching and thsre was
no power on earth tc save him ex
cept a pardon from the President,
And there was not sane to forward
the papers asking his pardon
through the regular channels. It
seemed that ho was a doomed
man. What could be done 1
The officer in this extremity
determined to call on Gen., Lewis
and lay she facts before him and
ask his help. He found the GeD.
oral a true soldier, not puffed up
j i.li “a liille brief authority.” //e
told the story with that earnest'
ness that comes of honest convic
tion of its truth and urged the
i/eneriil to intercede with Gen., I
Johnston to again postpone the
execution to give time to apply to j
j the I'iesident for pardon. The !
j General became interested in
Moorlands behalf and by (he next
clay had secured an order suspend
ing the sentence until further or'
ders. Every taing had worked
favorably 'his far but still the sen*
tence of death hong over Moors
hinds head
Gen., Longstreeis corps, to
which Moorlands company was
attached, was between Knoxville
and Bristol. The federal army
was pressing Johnston back slowly
towards Kennesaw and there was
uo communication with Longstieet
except by way of Lynchburg. Hur
rying on lo Carters station, the
i Ifieer prepared a full statement of
the case, with the highest endorses
went of Moorlards character as a
man and soldier, singed by corns
panv and brttallion officers. The
papers were cari 'cd to Col. Sorrel
Adjutant freneta! of Longs'ree/s
corps and were laid by him before
that gallant old soldier, wF
promp/Jy approved ar.d recount
mended the pardou.
Moorland was still in iail and
knew no'bing of what had been
done, except that his lime 'nd
extended. He hoped aud yet
feared to trust Lis own heart. One
morning the heavy prison doors
grated on 'heir rusty hinges as the
officer of the day appeared at the
door. When Mcorlands name was
called he did not know whether it
wat a summon- o the gallows or
to freedom, lie was soon ushered
into the presence of the kind hear/
ed <ieu Lewis, who unrolled a
paper to which was attached the
great seal of the Confederate
States.
It was an uucoudi/ional pardon.
At last he was a free man. TYnus
portation to his command was
furnished, and as soon as he could
write to his father, he was ready
to go. The company had heard
nothing from the case since the
papers were forwarded and the
first information they had was
when Singleton Moorland walked
iu'ocamp a free iron. There was
great rejoicing among Its old
comrades as they shook the hand
of a fellow soldier who had been
rescued from the jaws of death.
The gallows spared hint—dis
ease spaied him—the bullet spared
him—and he lives to day in Milton
county, loved, honored ard respect
ed by wife, children and fiicnds.
The gray haired old father has
long since gone to his reward.
Pea e to liis ashes !
DO THE VICTORS GET THE
SPOILS ♦
It is a well recognize d doctrine
both in politics and war, that “to
tho victors belong the spoils.
The theory is right abd it is recog
nized in pll couutiies, civilized
and savage, it matters not that
the con/est was made for princi
pie, the spoils are an incident
that legitimately fellow success.’
What inducement is the - e for men
to waste their time, money and
energy in a/tempting to effect a
change if the victory is to be shorn
of its natural results of honor and
profit, and the defeated party be
still entitled to hold the spoils.
And the administsation, State
or Federal that fails to recognize
this just rule sows the seed of
disintegration and offers a prem
ium for disaffection and revolt.
But the ques/ion arises who are
the vict rs ?
Are they/he men who bucil id
on their armor and unfurled the
banner of reform and constitution
al government, at a time when it
required courage to fight the pow
ers that be 1 who have stood in
the breach and bore the heat and
burden of the day and whose scars
are the best eviderce that they
were no laggards in the fray 1
Ate they the men who fought
Radicalism and its twin sister In
dependentism on the stump
through the press, at the ballot
box aud in State, district ai.d
county conventions, created aud
guided public Bentimert to victos
ry ?
Or are they the camp followers,
who were never seen until after
the battle T Men who never lost
a day or contributed a dollar to ad
vance the cause and whose posi -
lions were so uncertain that they
might have claimed office us well
under one administration as anoth
er ’ An 1 probably they sat in
dignified retirement when their
services were needed at the from
until the las* gun is fired and the
cry came “they fly, they fiy,” who
then force the.r way to the high
places and deminds the lions
share ot the booty T
Look over Georgia toeday at.d
mark the way tne spoils have been
distributed. W here are she men
who labored in season au out, and
made large personal sacrifices
and made victory possible ? Are
they holding offices of trust apd
profit under State and Federal
administrati n 6? With a few
notable excepiians they are not. I
Are they not worthy to fill these
positions T It would seem that
they are noi so considered Is it
; possible that the people can trust
men to organize aud them to vies
tory who are not competent to
run the machine with safety. This
is probably the theory of the camp
followers, but not of the people.
We do not care to particularize
not, it is Perhaps
in the near future it may be ex
pedient to draw tbeline It would
seem that a single glance from
tuose familiar with public affairs
aud public men is sufficient to sa -
isfy even tbe most doubtful.
Is ii true <Uat men who have
stood at the wfa let aud rolled
others into power have no claims
that command respect and deserves
recognition* W ben a man has
climbed high up the ladder and is
secure himself in seine niche, may
tie safelv kick He ladder out of his
way ? That seems the light thing
o do according to the revise')
edition of the political manna’ ;
and that the other offices are to le
ward personal followers to be used
as stepping stone for future suc
cess.
The old woman’s idea that it
didn’t hurt eels lo skin them be
cause they were used to bbing
skinned, appears to have been
adop/ed oythen.en in high places
who think it : s allright to snub
party leaders because they are
lsed to boing snubbed. Will they
snbm’t to It ? Will men who have
had the courage to snap their
fingers in the face of power, organ
ize a forelone hope and lead it to
victory, humbly kiss the hand that
smites them.
