Camp Montgomery, July 4, 1853.
I looked in vain over the columns of your paper for
some notice of this very interesting locality, and of the
exciting incidents which have transpired here. Does
this result from the fact that the Editors are chief ac
tors in the scenes enacted and, are induced, by excess of
modesty, to forego the description, because they them
selves would fill too large a space in the camp ? Allow
me then to take up the brush and furnish you with a
picture.
Camp Montgomery is situated half a mile North,
but in sight of the city of Columbus, and just in the
rear of “Woolfolk,” in a lovely oak grove, so thick
and shady that scarce a beam of sunshine can penetrate
it. In front of the camp flows a murmuring rivulet,
and to the right the swift flowing Chattahoochee leaps
from rock to rock in its descent to the city. It is indeed
a very Paradise; the land belongs to Col. Woolfolk,
and was, we believe, selected and put in order by Capt.
Hall, Quartermaster and Commissary of the encamp
ment.
On Friday, Ist inst., at 5 o’clock, P. M., the two
Columbus companies took up their line of march for
camp, and by the setting of the sun were in their
quarters. No incident occurred for 24 hours worthy of
notice. The time, however, flew by merrily, albeit there
was i.o other than familiar faces of townsmen and
friends to cheer the scene. On Saturday, 2d inst., a
delegation from the Macon Volunteers and Rifles ap- !
peared in camp, with the baggage and camp equipage
of the two companies. At six in the afternoon the en
campment was under arms, and in full dress marched
to the Bridge to welcome the Montgomery Rifles, Capt.
Thom, to the hospitalities of the city. Arrived again in
camp, a reception address was made in front of the
Reception Tent, in which was crowded much of the
loveliness and beauty of the city, by Captain John
Forsyth, and responded to by Lieut. Pot!. Both address
es were chaste and finished productions, and were very
cordially received by the noble men whose thoughts
and feelings they had respectively so perfectly embodied.
Again the shades of night crept softly over the camp,
and the tread and challenges of the sentry which guard
ed it, fell monotonously upon the ear.
During the earlier hours of the evening, the mirth
and fun grew fast and furious. Columbus was “tipping”
Montgomery, but at tattoo, a deep stillness fell upon the
scene, and all was as quiet as a well regulated household.
The holy Sabbath was welcomed by a single dis
charge of cannon. There is generally not much re
spect paid to the Sabbath in camp, and it is a singular
fact, that many if not most of the great battles of Eu
rope and America have been fought en this blessed day.
In camp Montgomery, however, all honor was paid to
the sacred day. Every soldier was arrayed in his hol
iday costume, and though there was no lack of cordial
greeting and reciprocal interchange of pleasant thought
nud generous feeling, no one seemed to forget that it
was the Lord’s day.
At the invitation of Rev. John E. Dawson and the
members of his congregation, the camp was deserted
at an early hour in the morning, and all repaired
to the Baptist Church and engaged in the worship of
the Most High. In the afternoon the Rev. Thomas F. 1
Scott preached a sermon in camp, characterized by
his usual good sense and kind feeling—and we may rea
sonably hope that the bread cast upon the waters will
be seen after many days.
On the 4th, an escort of honor appeared at the (£epot
at an early hour to welcome the Macon Volunteers, j
Capt. Bivins, aud the Floyd Rifles, Capt. Roes.
In the absence of Capt. Forsyth, who was appoint
ed to this duty, the reception address was made by Capt. 1
Cooper, and responded to by Lieut. Hardeman, of the
Floyd Rifles—whose speech elicited much applause.
At 10 o’clock, the encampment was teeming with
the beauty of the city. It was indeed a lovely and be- i
witching scene. The battalion was now formed and
marched to the Saloon, where an appropriate prayer
was addressed to the Throne of Grace, by Rev. John I
E. Dawson ; the Declaration of Independence was
read by Hon. G. E. Thomas, in an impressive man
ner, and preceded by a few stirring remarks, which
were well received by the audience. And now com- !
menced the event of the day, the anniversary oration,
by Edgar G. Dawson, Esq. Though no baby in years,
Mr. Dawson lias a very youthful appearance and we
imagined there were some sympathetic apprehensious
felt in the very large audience which clustered around
the speakers stand, when he first arose to his feet;
but the assured manner, firm tone and kiudling smile of
the young orator, 6oon dispelled all uneasiness, and left
the mind free to enjoy the intellectual feast prepared
for them. We regret that the confusion and inconven
ience of camp compel us to deny our readers the plea
sure of an abstract of the address ; it will suffice to
say that it was an appropriate and finished perform
ance, and was received with unqualified pleasure by the
audience.
After the oration was ended, the camp was thrown
open to the citizens, and our pretty girls did what arm
ed men would have found it difficult to perform : they
not only passed our line of sentinels, but entered our
tents and robbed them of their most valuable treasures ;
the glances of their bright eyes were more fatal to
J brave men than bristling bayonets. This incursiou of
the fair was one of the most pleasing incidents of the
occasion.
At four o’clock, a very large company, consisting of
; over four hundred men, sat dow.i to one of Perry's
very best dinners, at Temperance Hall. All the luxu
ries of the South were strewed in profusion over the
table. It was a dinner of which we were proud, though
the eating was “fast,” too fast for enjoyment; indeed,
we had hardly gotten through our first course before
toast* were in order, and eloquent men were on their
feet. It is impossible to give any idea of the speeches
made or the sentiments given Messrs. Thom and
Poe, of the Montgomery Rifles ; Messrs. Hardeman,
Tracy, and Stubbs, of the Macon companies ; Messrs.
Lomax, Thornton, Hamilton, and Dixon, of our own
companies, were called to their feet.
, About sun down the cry rang through the Hall
“fall in, fall in,” and to our very great pleasure and
somewhat to our surprise, a goodly number of each
company obeyed the order and were marched back to
camp in good order and condition.
The festivities closed with a Pic-Nic, last night.
In our next issue, we hope to present our readers
I with the addresses de ivered on the occasion
The Canvass in Alabama.
While the leaders of the defunct Whig Psrty in
j Georgia are building anew platform upon which to slid
; ter themselves in the general crash of the old temple in
which they have so long worshipped, it is amusing to
look across the river and see the devices resorted to by
j their old friends to save themselves from ruin. Like
men wrecked at sea, they abandon the hull of the craft
to its fate, and seize upon every floating plank and spar
which ean be mude available as a float! but their main
reliance is upon the tow line* of the Democracy. The
system of Whig'cry is abandoned, but particular prin-
I ciples are still sustained. These assertions are fully ver
ified by the animated canvass now going on in the Mo
i bile District between Col. PiiiLirs, Democrat, and
! Lockwood, Whig.
On the subject of States Rights Col. Philips took
1 strong ground, showing conclusively that the Democratic
1 party, as far back as the days of Jefferson, was the
true States Rights party —announcing, as a faot on
I which the party might congratulate itself, that it still
j retains that position, by incorporating in the platform of
j the last Democratic National Convention the spirit and
doctrines of the resolutions of (’93) ninety-eight.
Upon this ground Mr. Lockwood took no issue, con
ceding the right of a State to secede lor adequate cause,
and denying the right of the General Government to
coerce her back—a very different position from that
taken by Mr. Langdon, two years ago. This Col.
Philips very happily denominated, amid a general tit
j ter of the assembly, Progressive Whiggery.
So upon the subject of the tariff’, Col. Philips con
j tended that a tariff for revenue was the only constitu
’ tional tariff—while Mr. Lockwood at first avowed him
self in favor of protection for protection’s sake, Lut af
terwards changed his ground, and left his audience in
nubibus , as to his position.
But on the subject of internal improvements by the
Federal Government, Mr. Lockwood contended for
the constitutionality of carrying out an entire system
of internal imps ovements by the Federal govesnment.
This whig principle in Alabama is emphatically de
nounced in Georgia by the old whig leaders, both in
their platform, and more especially in their speeches.
There is indeed such diversity of sentiment and opin
ion among which in various parts of the country, that
we really are at some loss to know what is whiggery.
Here in Georgia, Mr. Toombs makes it a point in all
his speeches to announce that the rights of the South
were not secured by the Compromise, though the Union
was saved, and has attempted to place himself at the
head of a Soutlfein party, whose object shall be to
crusade for Southern Rights. In Alabama, however,
Mr. Lockwood announces to his followers, that the
whole matter of States Rights ought to be hushed up
forever, and strongly deprecates all allusion to the sub
ject by his democratic opponent.
The moral that this singular exhibition of contradic
tion teaches, is that the whig platform is crumbling
beneath the feet of whig politicians, and that to save
themselves from defeat and ruin, each and every one of
them is setting up a mushroom of his own for the oc
casion, from which he can leap upon the safest, surest
and most popular platform, that may hereafter be built
by his old friends.
The Nomination for Congress.
We very naturally resent a nomination of a candi
date in opposition to our wishes, and over the heads of
our favorites. It is-very natural therefore that there
should be some chagrin at the nomination of Maj. Col
quitt over the heads of a great many very clever
men. They feel badly, their friends feel badly, and
talk imprudently, and thus a public opinion is formed
very unfavorable to a candidate, who in fact may be
the very choice of the people. If this cap fits any dis
appointed candidate for Congressional honors, in this
district, let him wear it.
Major Colquitt has many elements of popularity.
He is a plain, unostentatious citizen —a bona fide repub
lican farmer, who has no interests, no hopes, no aspira
tions, that are not shared in common by his constitu
ents. lie has borne arms in defence of his country
and gained an enviable reputation for gallantry at Bue
na Vista in the staff of General Taylor. He is said ;
to be an orator of no mean gifts. Besides all this,
every body knows him to be one of the cleverest fel- j
lows in the world, aud if he is not elected it will be the ;
fault of his disappointed party friends. Let therefore
our gallant young candidate buckle on his armor and
strike for victory. It is within his reach, if he will de
termine to have it. He is opposed however by s wily
opponent, who will bear watching ; but he is vulner
able at every joint of his harness, and must succumb, if
attacked with a steady lance and a bold charge.
Miss Leslie on Slang*
“There is no wit,’’ says the author of the Be
havior Book, “in a lady to speak of taking a
‘snooze,’ instead of a nap—irt calling pantaloons
‘pants,’ or gentlemen ‘gents’—in saying of a
man whose dress is getting old, that he looks
“seedy’—and in alluding to an amusing anec
dote, or a diverting incident, to say that it is
rich.’ All slang words are detestable from the
lips of ladies. We are always sorry to hear a
young lady use such a word as ‘polking,’ when
she tells of having been engaged in a certain
dance, too fashionable not long since ; but, hap
pily, now it is fast going out, and almost banish
ed from the best society. To her honor be it
remembered, Queen V ictoria has prohibited the :
polka being danced in her presence. How can j
a genteel girl bring herself to say, ‘Last night I !
was polking with Mr. Bell,’ or ‘Mr. Cope came i
and asked me to polk with him?’ Its coarse and |
ill-sounding name is worthy of the dance. We ;
have little tolerance for young ladies who hav- j
ingin reallity neither wit nor humor, set up for j
both, and, having nothing of the right stock to
go upon, substitute coarseness and impertinence, |
(not to say impudence,) and try to excite laugh- i
ter, and attract the attention of gentlemen by i
talking slang. Where do they get it ? How do j
they pick it up? From low newspapers, or I
from vulgar books? Surely not from low com- |
panions! We have heard of one these ladies, j
when her collar chanced to he pinned away, say j
that it was put on drunk—also, that her bonnet
I was drunk, meaning creeked on her head.—
When disconce, ted she was floored.’ When
i submitting to do a thing unwillingly, ‘sha was
| brought to the scratch.’ Sometimes ‘she did
, things on the sly.’ She talked of a certain great
I vocalist ‘singing like a beast.’ She believed it
j very smart and piquant to use these vile expres
j sions. It is true, when at parties, she always
had half a dozen gentlemen about her; their
curiosity being excited as to what she would
say next. And yet she was a woman of many
good qualities, and one who boasted of having
always ‘lived in society.’ ”
Sam Slick’s Wise Saws and Modern Instances.
| Justice Ilaliburton is out with anew book,
| hearing the above title. Here is a sample of his
humor that has reference to a late American
Minister at the Court of Great Britain. The
scene is an after dinner one at that gentleman’s
house. Slick is describing his part in the en
tertainment:
“Lord Dunk Peterborough, or some such
name, sat alongside of me, and took to praisin’
our great nation at a great pace. It fairly took
me in at first, I didn’t see his drift ; it was to
draw me out, and set me a boastin’ and a brag
gin’ Ido suppose. And I fell into the trap be
fore I know’d it.
“Alter trottin’ me round a hit, sais he, ‘Your
minister is a worthy representative of your glo
rious country. He is a scholar and a gentle
man. One of his predecessors did nothing hut
compare. If you showed him a pack of hounds,
they were nothing to what hundreds had in
Virginia and the Southern States. If a fine
tree, it was a mere walking stick to an Ameri
can one. If a winning race horse, he had half
a dozen that would, as he expressed it, walk
away from him like nothing; and so on. Well,
there was another who could talk of nothing
but satinettes, coarse cotton, the slave trade,
and what he used to call New England domes
tics. It is refreshing to find our nation so well
represented.”
“All this was said as civil as you please, you
could not find fault in his manner a bit; still I
can’t say I quite liked it. Ikn ew there was some
truth ir. it ; but how little or how much I
couldn’t tell, not bein’ much of a scholar.—
Thinks I to myself, I’m a man more used to giv
in’ than takin’ pokes, and never could keep ens
long without returnin’ them with interest. So
go on, I’ll see what you are about, and then I
rather guess I can take my part with you.
“Sais lie, ‘l’m told his Latin is very pure.’
“ ‘lt’s generally allowed there can’t he no bet
ter,’ sais I, ‘there i3 nobody to Cambridge—our
Cambridge 1 mean—that can hold a candle to
him.’
“ ‘lt’s fully equal,’ sais he, ‘to the generality
of the monastic Latin of the middle ages.’
“I was a drift here: I didn’t like the expres
sion of his eye—it looked quizzical; and I
must say, when larned subjects come on the
carpet, I do feel a little grain streaked, for fear
I shall have to confess ignorance, or have to
talk and make a fool of myself. Thinks I to
myself, if his Latin is good, why didn’t he say
it was as good as what the Latins spoke or
wrote, and not stop half way at what minister
used, lam sure, to call the dark ages ? How
ever, I’ll look quizzical too, and put my best foot
out.
“ ‘As good as that of the middle ages ?’ sais I;
‘why, that’s not saying much for it either. Aint
he a middle aged man himself? and hasn’t he i
been at it all his life ?’
“‘Well, Slick, says he, ‘that’s uncommon j
good ; that’s one of the best things I have heard
for a long time, and said so innocently too, as i
ifyou really meant it. Capital, bv Jove! Come, j
1 like that amazingly.’ j
“Thinks I to myself, it’s more than I do,
then, for I didn’t understand you, and I don’t
know the meanin’ of what I said myself. But
I’ll pay vou ofF bimeby, Master Dunk—see if I
don’t.
“Sais he, lowerin’ his voice, confidential- :
like, ‘whata pity it is that he is Unitarian!”
“Now, thinks I, my boy, I’ve got you off dead
languages in upon livin’ subjects, ill play with j
you as a cat does with a mouse.
“‘He wouldn’t he an honest man, if he j
wasn’t,’ sais I; “he’d he beneath contempt.’
“‘M sais lie, ‘I never argue about religion,
and will therefore not pursue the subject far- j
ther ; hut it creates a great prejudice here.’
“ ‘Religion,’ sais I, ‘my good friend,’ lookin’
all amazed,‘why, what in natur’ has religion to
do with it! It has neither art nor part in it.’ I
“Exactly/ said he, ‘that’s the very point. Peo- j
pie here think a Unitarian little better than an I
infidel.’
“Then you might,’ sais I, ‘just as well say a
Tory was an infidel, or a YVhig, or a Protec
tionist, or a Free Trader, or anybody else;
there would be just as much sense in it. I be- j
lieve in my heart the English will never under
stand us/
“ ‘Pray, may I ask/ said he, ‘wliat you call
a Unitarian ?’
“ ‘Sartainly/ sais I; ‘for when folks go to ar
gue, they ought first to know what they are talk
in’ about; to define their terms, and see they un
derstand each other. I’ll tell you in a few words
what a Unitarian is.’
“Just then, Minister speaks up, (and it’s a euri
ous thing, talk of the devil, and he is sure to
heave in sight directly.) ‘Pass the wine, Mr. Slick,
I’ll help myself.’ ‘And push it on, your Excej
lency,’ sais I; ‘but I never pass wine—it ain’t
considered lucky in Slickville.’ ‘Phis made a
laugh and a divarsion, and I continues : *\ ou
Lord, our general Government is a fed
eral one, exercisin’ sartain powers delegated to t
it by the separate States, which with this excep
tion, are independent sovereignties. Every
State is a unit, and these units form a whole ;
but the rights of the separate States are as sa-:
cred as the rights of the government to Wash- j
ington ; and good patriots everywhere stand I
bv°their own units, and are called Unitarians ; i
while some are for strengthenin’ the general j
Government, at the expense of the individual j
sovereignty, and these are called Federalists;
1 and that’s the long and short of the matter.—
And what on airth religion has to do with these
nicknames, I don’t know.’
| “Sais he ‘I never knew that before ; I thought j
i Unitarians were a religious sect, being anoth- j
! er name for the Socinians, and 1 am very glad j
j to hear this explanation.’
“Thinks I, I hope it will do you good ; it is
as good as a middle-age Latin, at any rate.’
“After some further talk, sais he, ‘lour Min- ,
j ister is not a very easy man to get acquainted
with. Is he a fair specimen of the New Eng
landers ? for he is very cold.’
“Here’s at you again, Master Lord Dunk,
j sais I ; you ain’t quite sold yet, though you are j
bespoke—l hat’s a fact. ‘Well,’ sais l, ‘ne is
cold, but that’s his misfortune, and not his lault:
it’s a wonder to me he ain’t dead long ago. He
j will never be quite thawed out. The chill went
i into his marrow.’
“‘What chill V says he, ‘is not that his natu
ral manner!’
“ ‘How can you ask such a question as that,
my Lord V sais I. ‘When he left College as a ;
young man, he entered into the ice trade to sup
ply New Orleans with ice, and a grand spec he !
made of it; but it near cost him his life. He
’ was a great man to drive business, and ii you
I want to drive buuiness with us, you must work
I yourself. He was at the ice lake day and night
| almost, a handlin’ of it; and the last vessel he
| loaded that year he went in her himself. His
i berth was near the companion-ladder, the best
berth in the ship, but it jines on to the hold, and
the chill of that ice cargo, especially when he
got into the hot climate of New Orleens, so
penetrated hisjints, and limbs and marrow, be
has never been warm since, and never will; he
tells me it’s extendin’ upwards, and he is afeard
of his heart.’
“Well he roared right out ; he haw-hawed
as loud as a man cleverly and politely can at a
gentleman’s table, and sais he, ‘That is the best
contrived story to excuse a cold manner I ever
| heard in my life. It’s capital, upon my word!”’
“Jenkins.— Down in the State of Georgia
lives Jenkins--a personage as myterious as the
Grand Lama, the Wandering Jew, or the Iron
Mask. The birth, parentage, and education of
Jenkins, are unsolved mysteries. It is only
I known that somewhere among the cotton-fields
I of the thriving State of Georgia dwells, in aw
j ful state, the man called Jenkins, holding in the
j hollow of his hand the entire Whig party of that
! fiery commonwealth, from Fighting Town
j Creek to the sources of Ocilla, and from Sav
; annah to Columbus. The Alatamaha bears his
! terrible voice and is seized with a low stage of
j water—the Flint as it rolls onward toward the
j Gulf is more fixed in its bed than ever. In fact,
Jenkins is a name to conjure with—yet Jenkins
j has been hitherto unknown out of Georgia. But
no’v the fame of Jenkins is spreading and be
coming national. Jenkins is destined to save
j the Union, and being assigned to the special
i work, the patrons of the Union, the men who
trade in saving it from the people at large, are
sounding the praises of Jenkins His name first
comes to us by lightning to the sound of mut
tering thunder. We are startled by telegraphic
assurance that Jenkins will not allow Georgia
to vote for Scott, and that the Whigs of Geor
gia do exactly as Jenkins says. An awful pause
ensues, and we find Jenkins pitched on as he
Georgia bolting candidate for her President.—
Finally, at one of these awful meetings, wherein
that eminent teacher of young ladies, the Rev.
Mr. Winslow, holds forth, with length wholly j
out of proportion to strength, it is announced by
somebody that Jenkins is as great a man as
Webster, only not so well known. The bolters
of Boston respond to the bolters of Georgia, and
make Jenkins their candidate for Vice-President.
Slim are the chances of Jenkins for vioe-Presi
dent. His vote will be small in Georgia, and
hardly perceptible in Massachusetts. The elec- ,
toral ticket got up for him in this State will be
where on election day. It is even doubted
whether half the names on it are not fictitious, i
But Jenkins will be run, and lie will acquire an
ephemeral reputation among a few men who
take bolting newspapers.”— A.B. Mercury .
STANZAS.
We find a spot in every flower,
A sigh in every gale;
A shadow in the brightest hour,
Thorns in the .'Riootbcs. vale.
Ob beauty ’s lash Inert- is a tear.
Youth’s brew betrays a furrow,
And caution whispers in love’s ear,
That fate may frown to-morrow.

To man alternate ghen ;
