WHIG MEETING IN MCoCOOLL lION. J*MKS JOHNSON.
On the Bth inst. the Whig Party ot‘ Muscogee held a
meeting in the Court House. There was nothing very
definite done, except to change the* name of the Whig
Party. That name was assumed in 1830 or there
abouts. It was a good name; hallowed memories were
associated with it; it descended from revolutionary
times—but the men vho bore it in these latter days
have some how or other rendered it odious —so
odious that it is ufcessary now to change it in
order to catch the ear and reach the heart of
the American people. But, ye gods! what a name
they have adopted in its stead. They uow call them*
selves the “Conservative Party,” alia the stand still par
ty—a name absolutely odious to every liberal minded man
even iu Europe, and only.dear to those old Fogies who
bow down before all the abuses of hereditary tyranny,
and are proud of the oboin which bind them. The
‘‘Conservative” Party, forsooth! When a man goes
through the country and changes his name at every new
place, it is generally believed that he has some sinister
purpose to accomplish. No honest man likes to enter
tain an individual who calls himself Jno. Smith in New
York, Jno. Jones iu Charleston, and Jno. Williams in
Columbus, albeit, they are all iu themselves very good
names. So we may reasonably conclude that a party
which is “Federal 1 ’ on© year ; “National F.epubliean”
another ; “Whig” another ; “Union Whig” another,
and “Conservative” now, has neither a good faoe, a
good purpose, nor good principles.
The materials of the meeting were somewhat incon
gruous. Hon James Johnson seemed to be the leading
spirit. He addressed the meeting :
Ho stated that after all the extravagance of the
Government, there was in the treasury a surplus of ten
or fifteen millions of dollars, and seemed to be of the
opinion that something ought to be done to diminish the
revenue.
He was in favor of distributing the public lands
among the States.
He was opposed to war except when the natioual
honor was involved.
We join heartily in the etfort to reduce the Tariff to
the revenue standard. By all means let the taxes be
I'eduoed. This is old Democratic doctrine. We never
heard before that it was Whig doctrine. But then as
wo have a now party, we suppose we will have anew
platform. It will ho difficult, however, for old Clay
wliigs to mount upon it.
The public lands are the eommou property of all the
State*, and ought to be sold and the proceeds appropri
ated to the current expenses of the government. By
this means the taxes would be reduced and every part
of the country participate equally in the common treas
ure. We never can sanction the policy, therefore, of
Mr. Johnson. The General Government even now
looms up above the States and threatens their sovereign
ty. Make it the grand Almoner of the nation and every
vestige of State rights will be destroyed. Mr. Johuson
must have picked up this new heresy among his new
associates at Washington, ft has never been a Demo
cratic dootrine.
After this commentary upon the doctrines of the
new party, the assemblage adjourned to meet
again on Saturday, 11th inst., with the hope that Hon.
Mr. Toombs would set on the new nest the “Con
servatives” have built for the old hen whiggery and
infuse life into the new laid eggs. We wish them a
happy setting, but predict that Hon. Mr. Toombs will
deposit an egg of free trade which will, when hatched,
eat up the feebler brood of the “Conservative party*”
The State Road-~&ov. CobbN Proposition.
The publio mind has of late been directed towards
the State Road, and several propositions have been made
in reference to it, It is proposed to sell it, This we
object to, as every year adds to tile value of the road.
A sale of the Road now would, therefore, be a sacrifice.
It is also proposed to lease it. This proposition is sanc
tioned by Gov. Cobb, and is advocated by many promi
nent practical men in various parts of tho State. We
are told by the highest authority that the Road could
he leased for Three Hundred Thousand Dollars per
annum. We believe that hitherto the Road has been
a burthen to the State, and has been kept going by taxa
tion. This atibrds but another illustration that the
State is incompetent to conduct pecuniary enterprises.
—Every change of administration involves a change
of officers, and instead of being conducted with an eye
to pecuniary profit, State Roads and State enterprises
generally are but too often made the instruments of po
litical aggrandizement to the party in power. The poli
cy of the State, therefore, is to lease the Road, say for
terms of five years. W o object to longer leases, as by
the extension of Rail Roads, tlio settlement of tho adja
cent country, and various other means,'the profits of the
State Road are destined to increase very largely, and
the State ought not to place herself in a condition which
would preclude the possibility of taking advantage of these
circumstances. Cut the question of the greatest interest
just now is, as to the disposition to be made of the proceeds
ot the Road. Gov. Cobb, we understand, proposes to ap
propriate the proceeds to the establishment of a general
system of common schools. We thank him for the sug
gestion, and will strenuously sustain this beneficent
purpose, but not noic. The Road was built by the taxa
tion oi every part ot the Slate. Every section of Geor
gia is equally interested in the Road and is entitled to
he heard in the disposition ot the profits arising there
troni. W e object to tin; disposition of the fund sug
gested by on’ Executive now- Ist. bc-eause our population
is too sparse to enable us at this time to establish an
elective system of common school* 2d, because the
fund arising from the State Road is insufficient to ac
complish the object. :>d. because the Rail Road system
of Georgia is by no means complete. Let. therefore,
the Road bo leased for ten years, and the proceeds ap
plied to perfecting the Railroad system of Georgia. By
this means every section of the State will bo made ac
cessible, population will become dense, and the income
of the State from her Railroads will be sufficient to
establish a common stdiuol in every district in the State.
On a recent occasion, Mr. Cc yllr estimated that two
millions ot dollars would complete the South Western
Railroad to the Chattahoochee, and run a Road along
•ur W estern border. A ten years lease would place
in the hands ot the Government thice miliious of dol
lars, and, it Mr. Civler’s calculations arc correct,
there would be ample funds not only to build the roads
designated, but to perfect uuy other short lines that
might be uund necessary to complete the Railroad sys
tem of the State.

Rail Road Accident.
We are indebted to R. Cuyler, Esq, for a telegraphic des
patch received by him yesterday, from which we learn that
the passenger car on the Macon & Western Road was
thrown oft the track near Van Valkenberg’s.on Tuesday
night last, by running over two cows, and was precipitated
down an embankment and broken to pieces. On person
attached to the train was killed instantly, and five passen
gers were seriously hurt. Among the passengers was the
’ Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, who was much injured, but
\ teaa better yesterday morning. No blame whatever is at
tached to the Company’s servants.
We clip the above from the Savannah Republican.
We learn from Mr. Nisbkt, of Macon, that the man
killed was a Breakinan. The Engine and Tender pass
ed safely over the obstruction j but the passenger car
was thrown off tho track and turned over. Every pas
senger was more or less injured. Mr. Stephens had
his arm broken and was severely bruised on the head
and body. Hia wounds are said to be very severe but
no apprehensions are felt for his life. His numerous
friends here deeply sympathise with him in his afflic
tions. He has been removed to Macon.
Brunswick Railroad. —We learn that the citizens of
Albany held a meeting on Saturday last, and appointed
25 delegates to attend the meeting of the Stockholders
of the Brunswick and Florida railroad company, to
be held at Brunswick ou the 23d inst. An additional
subscription of $26,000 was made to this Railroad at
the Albany meeting.

[FOR THE TIMES AND SENTINEL.]
White Sulphur Springs.
A sojourn of a few days at this place, has been sufficien
to convince me that what has been said of the efficacy of
I the White Sulphur Springs in tho restoration to and pro
motion of health, is, by no means, a matter of whim and
| exaggeration. Aside from my own personal experience,
; observation itself has led me to this conclusion. Although
i I am no ASscaulpius, capable, after a critical diagnosis of
disease, of applying or prescribing the peculiar means of its
cure yet, after a cure has been effected through the agency
of any ostensible cause, I, like all others, lettered or unlet
tered, have the right of opinion, even if that opinion be
wrong, providing, in my view, it be found in the scale of
| evidence.
The first and most apparent change a person experiences
during the use of these waters, is a rapid growth of appetite
iu conjunction with a corresponding increase of digestion.
Such being the case it is obviously evident that the Sulphur
waters are adapted to the exigencies ofa large class of in
valids, amongst whom may be included not only those
whose systems have been debilitated and relaxed by the
continuous warm weather of this ciirnate, but those also
whose infirmities are the result of chronic affections. It
has always been a conceded point that the wisdom of an
All-wise Providence has placed within human reach such
natural means as, being properly used and directed, will
secure our highest social, moral, intellectual and pecuniary
interests, and in spite of myself, (with due deference to the
science and skill of those engaged iu the healing art,) I am
constrained to believe that the aame Providence has afford
ed us similar meaus for the promotion and perpetuity of
health, and that the fault lies with us, who are ignorant of
their properties and adaptedness.
It would be useless for me to allude to the beauty of
this place and of the scenery around it. You, as well as
most of your readers, must be aware of the fact, that it is
eminently pleasing and agreeable. The pine-clad moun
tains, the rustling grove, vocal with the warbling of the
merry birds, the clear bubbling rivulets, and the cool gen
tle breeze all contribute to render it a halcyon, spot in our
own pleasant land. Sequestered here during the heat of
the day, one can then fully appreciate his retirement from
the dusty atmosphere and rattling din of the crowded street;
and wheu night comes on how pleasant to hold commu
nion with nature jin its loveliest attire, while the million
moonbeams, piercing through the tree-tops, tesselate the
earth, and nought breaks the still silence of the place, save
the voice of the whippowil. The impression ia abroad,
by what means I know not, that no facilities for amuse
ment are furnished here. This is erroneous. Every chance
for innocent amusement is afforded that the heart could
wish ; and the worthy proprietor deserves much credit for
his efforts to the achievement of that end. Notunfrequent
ly I have witnessed a company of gay young gentlemen
and ladies, the graceful favorites of Terpsichore,?tripping
the “light fantastic toe” to the sound of inspiring music.
Access may be had at any time to the Bowling Alley and
other places for gymnastic exercises.
I can hardly feel myself justified in closing this article
without some allusion to the gentlemanly and obliging de
portment of the proprietor, the Rev. R. T. Mares. He
seems not to have been satisfied in expending a large amount
in preparing his establishment for the accommodation of
visiters, but devotes his whole time and service in endeavor
ing to promote their comfort and pleasure. His lady too,
is unrivalled in point of zeal and urbanity. Her kindness
and attention at all times secure golden opinions from all
who know her. Her table is always loaded with every
luxury the epicure could wish, or the markefafibrd. Such
being the case, may we not well say, if the White Sulphur
Springs be not a place of more than usual resort this sea
son, the time has come when merit receive not its just re
ward! S. E. C. 1
The Georgian of yesterday contains the fol
lowing response of Col. Seaborn Jones on be
half of the ladies of Columbus :
Ladies of the Committee and of the City of
Savannah.
As the representative of the ladies of Columbus,
I present myself before you, and in their name,
receive this cake. Aou will readily perceive,
;at the slightest glance, that the utmost stretch
of the most vivid imagination could not conceive
that I am the embodiment of those ladies. With
out any effort of the imagination I can easily
believe that I see assembled around me the re
presentatives of the beauty and refinement of the
ladies of Savannah—still, I am the representa
tive of the ladies of Columbus, and in their
name I accept this cake, and tender to you their
thanks. lam unable to find language ade
quately to describe the feelings with which it
will be received by them. They will cherish it
as an offering of kindness and love.
To the ladies of Columbus, it is due that I
should say, the presentment of their cake was
not a matter of deliberation—of consideration
and consultation ; it was the spontaneous effu
sion of feelings excited bv the festivities of the
occasion. It came warm from their hearts.
Had it not been so, one would have
been prepared more worthy of your acceptance,
hence the absence of all the ceremonies usual
on such an occasion; hence the unpretending of
fering of their feeling hearts. It is not the cakes
—it is the dear sweet givers of them. The feel
ings that prompted its tender, and the feelings
with which it was received and returned, have
given them both a true value. And, ladies, 1
hope it is the commencement of a new era in
that social intercourse between you which alone
can enable you to know and estimate each other
—and let me assure you, when you do know
them, you will take them to your heart of
hearts.
To men it belongs to calculate the advanta
ges of railroads—the commercial wealth and
prosperity they will pour into tho lap of Savan
nah. It is for woman to cultivate and diffuse
the finer feelings of social intercourse —tho ex
tension of that refinement which springs from
civilization, the communion of enlightened intel
lect, and the cultivation of those finer feelings
that draw our hearts more eloselv together.—
To you wo are indebted for ail our refinement,
and in the language of the poet, I may say—
“ Nature made thee to temper man ;
Wo had been brutes without you ;
There is in you all we beiieve of Heaven-
Amazing brightness, purity and truth,
Eternal joy and everlasting love !”
cakes are but the evidence of these
feelings and of the desire you have to know each
other better that you may love each other
more.
Let me then, in the name of the ladies of
Columbus, say to you, come and see us —that
we cherish you, that we will comfort you, and
that we will welcome you to our hearts. Let
me again say to you, in their name's l thank
you for this offering of courtesy, of kindness,
and of love ; and that their feelings can be duly
estimated by those only in whoso hearts such
feelings have growu up and been cherished.

Meeting of the Eufauia Town Council.
At a Special Meeting of the Town Council held the
3d insl. , the following Preamble and Resolutions
were adopted , viz:
Whereas, a desire has been expressed by a
number of our citizens to the members of
Council that some action should be had in re
lationtoaßailroad, and preferringthat it should
emanate from the Town Authorities. There
fore, in accordance therewith, and being fully
impressed with the propriety and necessity of
using our united efforts as the constituted an
thorities of the Town to forward whatever pub
lic interests we believe conducive to the pros
perity of the place—Beg leave to submit the
following outlines as a starting point for the
consideration of our citizens on this subject.
It is generally known that the efforts made
to extend the South Western Road to this
place, has for the present failed, and that the
extension of the Girard and Mobile Road is
now progressing within 30 miles of us. The
recent subscription, too, ot the ciiy of Mobile
of over one million dollars will insure its com
pletion. Hence we find our Town becoming
isolated in its prospects, and will be left to de
pend on the river communication mainly for
its commercial support. Now whle we “fully
appreciate the natural advantages of the river,
it cannot be expected to serve the purposea of
both united. An inland communication by
Railroad to connect with the river is our true
policy. Our position a3 a point of trade has
advantages (as we conceive) which cannot be
easily wrested from us, it our citizens unite
with a proper spirit. We therefore recom
mend to them to surrender all individual pre
ferences, for the sake of effecting the most
available line of Road that can be built. Let
it be remembered that the question or point of
decision is not what we prefer, but rather what,
can be accomplished. We have already a
charter for a branch road to connect with the
Girard and Mobile road. This would put us
in communication with the main line from Sa
vannah to Mobile, and with all intermediate
connecting roads. This is highly important.
As it is notour purpose however at present
to enter fully into details, or to demonstrate i
the various practical advantages of the pro-!
posed road, which must on reflection be ap
parent to every citizen. But with a view to i
immediate action on the foregoing recommeu- i
dation or preamble,
Be it Resolved, That the following gentle
men be and are hereby appointed a committee
to join the Town Council on Tuesday evening
the 7th inst., to carry cut the special object of
this meeting, and to report to a general meet
ing of the citizens for final action, without de
lay, viz
Z. J. Daniel, L. L. Cato,
E. B. Young, Hr. W. L. Cowan, |
John Colby, E. S. Shorter,
Jas. L. Pugh, E. C. Bullock,

Woman’s Rights.
| The question which has got the title of Wo
man’s Rights, is really becoming an important
| one* It has allied itselt to abolitionism and al
| most every other rickety and crazy Ism which
| has signalized the nineteenth century. At the
same time it is such an eloquent ism ; talks so
well ; looks so bewitching in its Bloomers ; cuts
its hair into such a piquant shape, varying the
masculinity of the style by occasional “beau
| catchers” —and altogether is such a smart, go
! ahead, loquacious, spunky, lively, plucky little
ism, that it has obtained universal attention, and
may flatter itself in having afforded hearty
amusement to the scribes of this and every
other country- ourselves included.
| Imagine the Rev. Antoinette Brown pitching
i into the slave-holders and those “brutes” of men!
A bright-faced, quick-eyed little woman, with
a genuine bust—no padding or putting, but real
red and white flesh—working herself into a
precarious perspiration, and endangering the
strings of her stays in her efforts against tyran
jny of every shape, whether we call it matri
i mony or flirtation—warring on sucii an inno
-1 cent symbol as a wedding-ring—embracing
| celibacy, and beating back the devils of house
hold felicity (including the “little ones’*) almost
las fiercely as Luther and Saint Anthony—and
! all the while thinking that she is a reformer, an
original character, a thinker, a Theodore Parker
in pantaloons, or a Horace Greeley in gussets !
Poor Antoinette! so beautiful, so eloquent, so
young ! She inn gines that she is doing a won
derful thing in resisting her natural tendency to
connubiality, whereas, every ‘•roman, from fif
teen to twenty, has to do the same, with this
difference, that she has the good sense not to
proclaim it from platforms, or publicly celebrate
her continence. What a pity it is that some
stout and sensible New Englander does not take !
Antoinette quietly in bis arms—whisper the
magic “will you have me?”—silence her theories i
with a kiss, and—"brute of a man’’ as he may {
be-teach her to appreciate the story of Beauty
and the Beast, that she may understand how
the rough-coated horror of the morning can take
the form of a Prince at night!
And, then, Lucy Stone ! another quick, capa
ble, intelligent, and really good-looking woman !
How terrible is the fact that she will not under
stand that linglets are a part of woman’s rights,
and a “good head of hair’’ more invaluablo any
day than a “mission/’ What, in the name ol
cream-cheese, cookery, and all the etceteras,;
does she want with that mission ? The sooner j
she gets rid of it the better. -She would make j
a capital wife. We would almost venture on j
taking her ourselves. And we have no doubt |
that, with a little sensible education, she could
manage even a Southern house pretty well, j
though she might whip the “niggers,” when in j
bad temper, a little too much! No one woman,
as a Western editor remarks, would “take” the
Rights if she hadn’t the rickot3 !
We can understand how Abbv Kelly, or Ab- j
by Folsom, “takes the rights.” What else have j
they to live for but rights ? Their day has past. ■
Not for them the ball-room, the party, the bril- j
liant niaze3 of the mazurka, or the refined pas- j
sion of the polka ; not for them the radiant de
lights of the tete-a-tete in the corner, before the
“next set” is organized, or the charms of “moon- ;
shine” on the homeward walk ; not for them the ;
cautious billet-doux—the insinuating note —the
bewitching bouquet—the sentimental siesta, or
that “dear, delightful, wicked pet of a St. Preux;” j
their season is past—their countenances are in
the “sear and yellow’’ condition ; their bloom j
is banished ; crows’-feet have cowed them ; j
wrinkles and wretchedness have claimed them ;
philanthropy and folly are all that remain ; and,
of course, the result is, that they inevitably “take
the Rights !’’
Now, it appears to us, that the first l ight of a
woman is to say her prayers and look out for a
husband; her next right is to get one—and,
indubitably, her chief right is to keep him. But
to do so, requires something more than crazy
eccentricityor talent run wild. Every accomplish
ment a woman is capable of realizing—every
beauty she can cultivate—every grace she can
educato into waving lines of elegance—is re
quisite to please her husband and retain him her
fascinated friend until the end of the “domestic
drama/’ No labor is too great for such an ob
ject, as her own happiness and that of her chil
dren depend upon the continuance of his affec
tion and respect. It is the duty of a woman to
be good looking, if she can ; it is her mission to
avoid being disagreeable. If she has not beau
ty, its deficiency must be counter-balanced by
amiability, which will conceal even positive ugli
ness, and make a dark and pitted face as smooth!
and fair, in the husband’s eye, as rose-misted
marble. Above ali, sho should not cut her hair
ala Lucy Stone, and come down to dinner like
j a chuck-headed school boy,—a fright a horror,
an abomination ! A true beauty is a glorious
! coronal of dark or sunny hair, as the ease may
| be—
“A gorgeous Lesbos crown,
With Sapphic thread of gold !”.
And any woman who considers that she is
fulfilling a mission in curtailing its fair propor
tions, is little better than a fool. Let us have
no more of it.
Our cure for Woman’s Rights is—Matri
mony !
The Girard Railroad.
We are pleased to learn that the ordinance
authorizing a subscription of one million of dol
lars on the part of ; this city to the above named
road, passed the Board of Aldermen Thursday
night, and will, there is but little doubt, receive
the sanction of the Council.
The ordinance in its present shape is more
liberal than the one which had been previously
acted on, in making provision by taxation for
the interest, instead of requiring the railroad
company to pay it, until the road reached
Greenville.
If at any time it should be found that either
of the conditions of the ordinance unnecessari
ly retarded the sale of the bonds on the progress
of tho work, the necessary need of a change can
be made without any difficulty.
w e therefore congratulate this community,
as well as a large portion of our State, on the
bright prospects now afforded for a speedy, con
nection of the Atlantic with the Gulf of Mexico, |
by means of the Girard road.
We look with confidence to the action ofi
Savannah and Charleston in aid of the great j
work, as they must necessarily be large sharers I
in its conveniences and benefits.
We are somewhat surprised to find in the
Montgomery Advertiser and Gazette, of June
Ist, some captious remarks respecting the char
acter of this subscription, which characterise it
j as a shame, and intended as a scarecrow to
! frighten off subscribers to the Pensacola road.
Surely our Montgomery friendsdo not object
! to our building a road which runs by their door*
! way, and with which they must necessarily con*
| nect, even if they consummate their design in
building the other road.
The action of the corporate authorities in
• thus fully responding to the feelings of our citi*
i zens, will put to flight all doubt and misgiving,
i and deprive even those who are disposed to carp
at us, of the means of mere presentation.—Mo

A few days ago, it was announced by tele*
graph that Gen. St. Amaud, French minister
of war, had been arrested in Paris for the as
sassination of Gen. Cornemeuse. This story
is based on the following translation of a part
of a letter from Paris :
*‘l ought to tell you that the general, mar*
shal of France, St. Amaud, minister of war,
was arrested last evening, by order or the i
Emperor, for the following reasons ; Gen. Cor-,
nemeuse, aid de-camp of the Emperor, found j
himself in the cabinet of his Majesty with Gen. ■
St. Arnaud. A sum of four hundred thousand !
francs was there, and the Emperor eutering j
his cabinet, asked for this money, which he i
destined for the marriage portion of'the daugh
ter of Gen. St. Arnaud. Gen. Cornemeuse
searched everywhere, but was unable to find
more than two hundred thousand francs,
whereupon he said to Gen. St. Arnaud, ‘You
and I only have been here, and it is only your
self who could have taken it.’ Finding that
he could not deny the charge, St. Arnaud in
stantiy dVew his sword and killed Gen. Cor- :
neineuse ; the latter having merely the time to
make a degagemnt , piercing the arm of St.
Arnaud. The scene passed under the eyes of
the Emperor, and so suddenly, that he had no
time to prevent the two blows. The matter
is hushed up, but you may rely upon the facts,
as I have them from a source beyond all doubt.
St. Arnaud, you are aware, is the general who
played so prominent a part in the coup d'etat
of December. Without pronouncing upon the
guilt or innocence of the parties, I cannot
avoid observing that, considering the destina
tion of the money, it is extraordinary that St.
Arnaud should have taken it, while it is equal
ly strange that such a grave charge should
have been made without probable cause.”
A PETITION TO TIME.
BY HARRY CORNWALL.
Touch us gently, Time !
Let us glide adown thy stream
Gently—as we sometimes glide
Through a quiet dream !
Humble voyagers are we—
Husband, wife, and children three ;
(One is lost—an angel fled
To the azure overhead !)
%
Touch us gently, Time!
We’ve not proud nor soaring wings ,
Our ambition, our content,
Lies in simple things.
Humble voyagers are we,
O’er Life's dim, unsounded sea,
Seeking only some calm clime ;
Touch us gently, gentle Time.
Landor and Kossuth.
Old Walter Savage Landor has sent his
new book to Kossuth, with the following
lines :
“W. S. Landor to L. Kossuth, with the new
edition of Greek and Roman Conversations.
“Souls such as yours, O, Kossuth! alight,
close their wings, and rest upon the elevated
crags of Antiquity. The sun shines there,
when all beneath is lying in mist and shadow.
“Morning is far off, but it returns in the
course of nature : we feel its pungency before
we feel its warmth.
“Hungary is not dead ; no, nor sleepeth.
‘‘Receive my Greeks and Romans. Let
them drive from your memory, if possible,
the insults you late have suffered from
wretches like those who betrayed the Bandi
eri, when they might as easily, if not as ad
vantageously to themselves, have prevented
the rash enterprise of those two unfortuntae
youths. Farewell.”
Kossuth replies:
“Receive my thanks tor your Greek and Ro
man Conversations. The selfish, egotistical
present world has still to learn from the an
cients that the citizen has not only the duty
of paying taxes,-but also a higher one toward
his country—to maintain or restore its free
dom. Yet, when men of genius and refine
ment as you, Landor, connect the present with
the past, our age listens to the warning of long
forgotten centuries.
“I have learned from the ancients to despise
the insults of my foes. The warrior does not
care if, in the heat of battle he is besmeared
not only with gore, but also with mud. If
those insults have reminded the sage —who
lives with the heroes of all ages—of the hum
ble but faithful soldier of Liberty, they have
done more good than harm. Farewell and
remember.” {
