[FOR THE TIMES AND gENTIMtt-1
A Tribute
Os affection and esteem , written on the early death of
Mr. Nicholas Ware, hy a friend who loved him.
Gone! but not lost ! thou’st but journey’d before us :
To yonder bright land, of the pure and the blest,
Now join’d with the Angels, wilt thou too watch o’er us,
And beckon us onward, to join thy sweet rest.
Yes beloved friend, ’twas the last words thou bad'st me,
To meet thee in heaven, and thou’dst watch for me
there;
Now grieving we weep o’er the spot where they’ve
laid thee,
Whilst thy young blessed epiiit is freed from all care.
Oh ! who wouldst recall thee, and wouldst thou return,
From the realms of bliss to this world of sorrow ;
Where the loved ashes, scarcely are placed in the urn.
Which we weep o’er to day, ere we’re wept o’er to
morrow.
Great God ! in thy mercy, O console the bereaved,
For the loved of their home, their young promising sot),
And show ’twas in love, fhatthou chast’ned and grieved,
And help each to say : “let God’s will be done.’’
Columbus, Ga. Nov. 1853.
FANNING’S MEN ;
Olt THE MASSACRE AT GOLIAD.
“Blackwood” io publishing a series of ex
tracts front a work entitled “A Campaign in
Texas,’’ which appeared last year at Leipsie,
from the pen of Van If. Ehrenberg, a .young
German, who served throi gh the brief but ter
rific struggle in 1835, between Texas and Mexi
co, and who took part in some of the most fear
ful scenes in that campaign, being likewise one
of the three that escaped from the treacherous
massacree at Goliad, where Fanning’s men
were murdered in cold blood, by order of Santa
Anna. Ehrenberg gives the subjoined account
of the scene, which we think will be read with
interest, though the incidents are in some sort
already familiar.
“After the names had been called, the order
to march was givsn, and we filed out through
the gates of the fortress, the Greys taking the
lead- Outside the gate we were received by
two detachments of Mexican infantry, who
marched along on either side of us, in the same
order with ourselves. We were four hundred,
not including the cavalry, of which numerous
small groups were scattered about the prairie.
We marched in silence, not, however, in the
direction we had anticipated, but along the road
to Victoria. This surprised us; but upon re”
flection, we concluded that they were conduct
ing us to some eastern port, thence to be ship
ped to New Orleans, which, upon the whole,
was perhaps the best and shortest plan. There
was something, however, in the profound silence
of the Mexican soldiers, who are usually un- j
ceasing chatterers, that inspired me with a feel
ing of uncertainty and uneasiness. Presently I
turned my head to see if Miller’s people had
joined, and were marching with us. But, to
my astonishment, neither they nor Fanning’s
men, nor the battallion were to be seen.
They had separated from us without our ob- j
serving it, and the detachment with which I was
marching consisted only of the Greys and a
few Texan colonists. Glancing at the escort,
their full dress uniform, and absence of all bag
gage, now for the first time struck me. I ;
thought of the bloody scenes that had occurred j
at Tampico, San Patrico, and at the Alamo—
of the false and cruel character of those in !
whose power we were, and I was seized with a
presentment of evil. For a moment T was |
about to communicate my apprehension to my
comrades, but hope, which never dies, caused
me to take a more cheering view of my situa- |
tion. Nevertheless, in order to be prepared for j
the worst, and in case of need to be unincum- |
bered in my movements, I watched my oppor
tunity, and threw away a bundle among the
grass of the prairie, containing a few things j
which the thievish Mexicans had allowed me to
retain.
A quarter of an hour had elapsed since the j
departure from the fort, when suddenly the!
command was given in Spanish to wheel to the |
left, leaving the road; and as we did not under- j
stand the order, the officer himself went in front
to show the way, and my companions followed
without taking any particular notice of the
change ot direction. To our left ran a musket
hedge five or six feet in height, at right angles
with the river San Antonio, which flowed at
about a thousand paces from us, between banks
thirty or forty feet high, and of which banks the
one on the nearer side of the river rose nearly
perpendicular out of the water. We were
marched along the side of the hedge towards
the stream, and suddenly the thought flashed
across us, “Why are they taking us in this di
rection T'he appearance of a number of
lancers, cantering about in the fields on our !
right, also startled us ; and just as the foot sol
diers, who had marched between us and the
hedge, changed their places, and joined tlios?
of their comrades, who guarded us on the eitheP
hand. Before we could define the reason df
this manoeuvre, the word was soon given to halt.
It came like a sentence of death ; for at the saine
moment it was uttered, the sound of volleys of
musketry echoed across the prairie. We then
thought of our comrades and of our probable
fate.
“Kneel down !’’ now burst in harsh accents
from the lips of the Mexican commander.
No one stirred. Few of us understood the
order, and those who did would not obey. The
Mexican soldiers, who stood about three paces
from us, levelled their muskets at our breasts.
Even then we could hardly believe that they
meant to shoot us, tor it we had, we should as
suredly have rushed forward in our desperation,
and, weaponless though we were, some of our
murderers would have met their deaths at our
hands. Only one of our number was well ac
quainted with Spanish, and even he seemed as if
he could not comprehend the order that had
bven given. He stared at the commanding
onieer as it awaiting its repetition, and we star-
at him, ready at the first word he should ut
ei to spring upon the soldiers. But he seemed
K° r 6 * ’ *\ S i' 1 ? 8 * us were > impressed with the
belief that the demonstration was merely a me-

s ,,, nj ‘ . ! 1 re ‘‘ t emng gestures and drawn

te command to kneel down. The sound
of a second volley, from a different direction
with the first, just then reached our ears, and
was followed by a confused cry, as if those at
whom it had been aimed had not all been imme
diately killed. Our comrade, the one who un
derstood Spanish, started from his momentary
lethergv, and boldly addressed us.
“Comrades,’’ cried he, “you hear that report,
that cry. There is no hope for us—opr last hour
is come! Therefore, comrades
A terrible explosion intterrupted him—and
then all was still. A thick cloud ol smoke was
wreathing and curling towards the San Antonio.
The blood of our lieutenant was on my clothes,
and around me lay my friends convulsed with
their last agony. I saw nothing more. Unhurt
myself, I sprang up, and, concealed by the thick
smoke, fled along the hedge in the directien ot
the river, the noise of the water for my guide.—
Suddenly a blow from a heavy sabre fell upon
my head, and from out of the smoke emerged
the form of a little lieutenant. He aimed a sec
ond blow at me, which I parried off’with my left
arm. I had nothing to risk, but everything to
gain. It was life or death. Behind me a thou
sand bayonets; before me the almost powerless
sword of a coward. I rushed upon him, and
with true Mexican valor he fled from an unarm
ed man.
On l went, the river rolling at my feet, the
shouting and yelling behind. “Texas forever!”
and without a moment’s hesitation, I plunged
into the water. The bullets whistled round me
as 1 swam slowly and wearl” to the other side,
but none wounded me. C r pror dog, who
had been with us through the campaign, and
had jumped into the river w ith me, fell at last a
sacrifice to Mexican cruelty. He had reached
the middle of the stream, when a hall struck
him and he disappeared.
Whilst these horrible scenes were occuring
on the prairies, Col. Fanning and his wounded
companions were shot and bayoneted. At Goli
ad, only Dr. Thackleford and a few hospital
aids having their lives spared, in order that they
might attend on the wounded Mexicans. Be
sides Mr. Ehrenburg, but three of the prisoners
at Goliad ultimately escaped the slaughter.
Having crossed the San Antonio, Mr. Ehren
burg struck into the high grass and thickets,
which concealed him from the pursuit of the
Mexicans, and wandered through the prairie,
guiding himself by the sun and stars, and stiiv
ing to reach the river Brazos* He los! his way,
and went through a variety of striking adven
tures, which with some characteristic sketches
ot Texan life, and habits of General Sam Hous
ton and Santa Anna, and a spirited account of
the battle of San Jacinto, at which, however, he
himself was not present, fill up the remainder of
the book.

I The contest for the United S-"ites Senator grows
warmer, Cobb, McDonald and Iverson are the princi
pal candidates, and public sentiment is much devided as
to the prospects of each candidate. Much interest is
excited as to the result of the election for Judge of the
Supremo Court; Weliborn, Berming, Cone, Starke and
Starnes are all in the field, ana the friends of each are
i zealously urging their respective claims upon the De
mocracy. There is but one Whig in the field, the
present incumbent,|Nisbet, who will receive the votes
of the body of the whig party and some Democratic
support. __ _ L.

An examination showed that be de*?h oauseJ by

The policy as proposed by the Constitutional
ist and Republic* with reference to the
choice ot V. S Senator.
About two weeks since the Constutionalist issued a j
long editorial, advocating the election of Lloweil Cobb
to the United States Senate. It had doubtless been
well matured and reflected upon some days before pub
lication. Such a step required deliberation. It was
taking the initiative in a policy intended to control the
action of the entire democratic party. It was Betting a
precedent for other presses, to advocate their political,
or personal favorites, with equal deliberation and rirm
ness. The consequences ot following such a precedent,
would have been to bring into hostile existance wings
and factions, with prejudices aroused, and torces mai
shalled, ere the legislature had assembled, ana but
meeting at Milledgeville, as on a common battle ground, j
to fight* it to the death. A course foreshadowing such j
deplorable consequences, has met, as it deserved, trom ;
; the entire democratic pr< ss, as tar as we have seen, the
! most decided disapprobation.
According to the reasoning oi the Constitutionalist ,
the democratic party is but a co-partnership which re
j quires at each recuring election, a settlement ot claims
and adjustment of balances. Me do not consider the
1 entirety of the party as resting on such a mercenary
basis. It has a nobler tuundation ; a more worth} mis- ,
j sion; and will not be prostituted to snob ignoble ends. ;
The history of the party proves this. United as it was
during the elections for President and Governor, with
no fissure nor seam visible or extant, save what the op.
position endeavored to effect, each stood shoulder to
shoulder —“by gones were by gones,” and all bailed the
resultant triumphs with unmingled satisfaction. Who
shall now interrupt this harmony ? Who shall be the |
first to suggest the eharge of selfishness? Who shall
retrace step by step, the history of former dissension,
thus opening old wounds, and making them to bleed ;
: again, when existence itself depends upon constant adhe
sion ? Who shall throw discord into a harmonious and
united family, by officiously proclaiming that one or the
other branch has not received its just deserts? The
editor of the Constitutionalist , through his prescribed
policy, is acting all these parts. Have any complaints
j been heard from the Union Wing of the party ? Have
they upbraided the Southern Rights Wing because of
injustice or insincerity ? Have they protested against
any nomination because of past opinions, which fell into
| desuetude with the occasion that called them forth? Not
i one. But this magnanimous dnty ; this generous com
plaisance ; this self-denying assumption of champion
ship in the cause of defered justice; this unique feat of
strengthening the whole, by a separation of the parts,
was reserved for the politic and matured sagacity of the
editor of the Constitutionalist.
If he be so conceeding upon principle, and so gener
ous in fact, why did not his proposed policy concede di
rectly to the once union wing, the choice of Senator, and
| there stop.
This, however, did not satisfy his consciencious sense
el duty. To carry out his policy, he must insist upon
choosing for them who their representative shall be.
After asserting that he entertained misgivings as to the
| propriety of discussing the question, &0., lie goes on to
say “under the circumstances, we should have preferred
to remain silent, and not seem desirous of bringing an
outside pressmre to bear upon tile judgement and din
| eretion of the members. But our own choice is not
| left, as an intelligent correspondent signing, himself A
! Southern Rights Democrat, desires to be heard through
I our’colun-ms, in behalf of the olaims ..i a particular as
pi rant to the Senatorial office, and we not fell at lib
| erty to refuse him, we, therefore, lay his communication
I before the public, and in doing so, feel eonstraiuec to
make such comments as the occasion, and the impor
j tnnt results involved, suggest.’ 5 These, then are the
1 inducements which obviated his misgivings. “A South
| rn Rights Democrat/’ thought Judge Warner should
lie the choice, aa that th* Union wing should hate the
i Senator.
The Editor of the Constitutionalist doubtless thanks
i hie communicator for giving him an opportu- i
j nity of broaching his policy, but ditiers with him
as to who shall be the recipient of its blessings. To
excuse the application which he makes of it, however,
he tell* us his reasons, which if they satisfy his own
conscience, we shall not now controvert. And on this
head he complains that the democratic press, while they
dissent from his views, do not answer his arguments. |
I This looks certainly very plausible—a perfectly fair de
mand. We content ourselves with uttering, but our ipse j
| dixit as he is pleased to term our opinions, beoausc
’ hie course is wrong ah initio. He would doubtless be j
1 very much delighted to beget n discussion upon his rea- !
‘ sonings, and by a rhetorical trick gain half of the ar
gument by thus causing the premises to be lost sight
of. We saw very plainly the drift of his policy, which ;
in pail, caused us to suspect the ingenuousness of his
; professions. He may be as candid, and sincere, and
j patriotic in his desire to do right, as he insists upon.—
2 We will not deny the existence of such motives, but 1
he has been most unfortunate in their exposition. We
trust that |we do not fall short of his estimate of our !
“intellectual capability of comprehending, and moral ca- i
pability of appreciating motives higher than mere per
sonal preferences, or selfish ulterior purposes,” bat when j
we hear an advocate weaken his cause by persistently pro- ■
-sing too much, we are very apt to suspect either the validi- i
ty of his cause, or his ability to maintain it. If we *
grsnt him then all # o self denying forbearance which !
hel claims in recommending the choice of a Semtor (
from the union wing, and insisting with elaborate reas- j
oning who this shall be, he has shown his forbearance !
in a most odious officiousness. The mauner of the act j
detracts from the virtue of tlie motive.
Our dissent from the course adopted by the Consti- j
tuiionalist, and suggested as the policy for the demo- j
cryjtic party, begins and ends with his right as an exp< -
neat of democracy, of discussing the subject at all.
Wei have said nothing against Mr. Cobb, nor Judo-e ■
“‘ O |
Warren, uor the union wing, which once had an exist- !
auce, and to which they belonged. We neither advo* j
cate nor oppose any man’s claims, merely because he !
may have belonged to this or that section, into which
I the party was once divided. We have contended but |
L for the harmony and union of the party, and never have |
we urged any course which would bring an element of
discord into its ranks. The Constitutionalist tried its
hand previous to the last Gurbernatorial Convention,
but his euoncils were rejected, and the party went on
as a unit, and gloriously triumphed. He then tried to
convince the union wing how much they had suffered;
and to bring the Southern Rights wing to the steal of !
repeutance, for their grasping conduct, but no one felt !
the wiong, because none existed: nor saw the evil, be- i
cause none had been committed. Again he dons the ;
cape of a Palluurus, and standing upon the prow ex
claims, a crisis 1 Indeed 1 what crisis, pray, is now pen

! cord be not introduced for the purpose of attaining cer
tain ends, disinterested or otherwise.
We give the editors of the Constitutionalist all due
i credit for his intentions, and whether or not we have
that “long sightod view of permanent interests,” which
he seems to deny us, we candidly acknowledge our inabili
ty to perceive in his proposed policy any means for the i
securing of either permanent or passing interests — to the ,
party. If*Gov. Cobb be a candidate, as be undoubted
ly will, and shall be unsuccessful, he may attribute his
defeat in a great measure to the officiousness of his po
litical friend of the Constitutionalist. To withstand the
dangerous influences of bis proposed policy and maintain ,
its unity the party may be called to sacrifice even Gov.
Cobb. If divisions shall occur, and old fires be kindled,
so as to give the Whigs the Senator, with the editor of
the Constitutionalist will rest the blame of entering the
first wedge and of kindling the first spark.
He has so far conducted his proposed policy very !
I adroitly. Having made his debut, he, as a good rhetori
cian, first conciliates his hearers by giving uteranoe to a so
ber disquisition upon moral duty: a panegyric upon public

having collected what might be necessary to the success
| of the plot viz: a discussion irrelevant to the matter at
; issue, he makes a point of it ; inserts it in full, as in the
j case of the editorial comments of the Marietta Advocate ;
arouses the sympathies of his readers by quoting articles
from the Times Sentinel, and making them bear as
reflecting upon the purity of his motives, and strength
ening himself with two long letters from friends equal
! ly disinterested as himself, and having thus made another
! period, with an opportunity of retiring in good favor, the
scene closes, What additional scenes shall transpire
: or what preperations are being made behind the eur

the character of the catastrophe will be determined by
the course which the members of the Legislature may
pursue.

! Turing Company No. 2,” lor the purpose of manufacturing Cot-
I ton or Wool, to be decided by the Stockholders. The Charter
I for said company is already obtained. We offer the large new
; building, completed and ready for use, with water ready to turn
j on the wheel, to drive twelve thousand spindles, and convenient
lots sufficient for operatives and warehouses, and other neces
, sary purposes, at a fair valuation, the amount to be taken in
stock in the above mentioned Company.
‘j The necessary amount of capital to till the house with ma
i chinery, and put the whole business in successful operation
| without incurring debts, we estimate at three hundred thousand
dollars. We offer to capitalists very superior advantagas for a
I profitable investment,as by proper managementthe Factory can
| ,j e in full operation, turning out Cloth, in less than twelve
months; and those investing can reasonably expect quick re-
I turns. Our situation seems especially designed by nature fora
large manufacturing city. We do not hesitate to sav that our
; place possesses greater advantages than any other in the South,
and we believe greater than any in the Union. Our Dam and
I Race arc built of rock, laid in hydralic eemeot. We have only
| 0f ,, 011r watet ’ power controlled, but enough to drive
; 50,000 spindles. The first floors of our buildings are 56 to 60
; teet above the highest freshets, nr works not disturbed bv high
or low water. The Fall is 50 feet in >OO, with immense power
j a,K ‘ certainty ot stream. The place is unsurpassr and for its health
j and of close proximity to a rich planting country: in fact na’-
ture seems to have been lavish with advantages which stand in
j viting man to improve.
\\ e cheerfully invite the public to call and examine for thein-
I selves—-and any information wanted can he readily obtained bv
