OF MERIWETHER.
A Boston correspondent to the New
York Wovld says that Charles Fran
cis Adams, the Democratic nominee,
will almost certainly bo elected Gov
ernor of Massachusetts, though he
concedes that the Republicans will
probably elect the balance of the
State ticket, but by a mujority not
more than that of last year.
Hon. Wabren Akin, la a lotter to
the Atlanta Constitution, expresses
tho fear that tho Democratic majority
in Georgia has become too large
for control by party discipline. He
thinks ho sees signs of an effort to
disrupt Its organization, and is of
opinion that a smaller majority
would be safer. Wo think that what
the Democratic party of Georgia
needs is a diminution of the number
of its offlce-seekerß rather than of
its voters.
Alabama State Gkanue Faib.— The
attendance was again large on Fri

Tilton and Beecher are now
fighting it out on a different theme
from that which lately engaged their
attention. They are lecturing on tho
same subject, but with widely differ
ent views. Their subject is the "Min
istry of Wealth." Tilton exposes
tho baneful Influence of money upon
the ministry, while Beechor main
tains that the pursuit of wealth is
ennobling, and that the tendency of
its acquisition is towards morality.
They lectured last week in Chicker
ing Hall, New York—Mr. Tilton on
Monday, and Mr. Beecher on Tues
day evening. The World says: "Mr.
Tilton had u house crowded from
parquotte to gallery; Mr. Beecher
barely full. Mr. Tilton’s audience
listened In silence; Mr. Beecher’s in
terrupted him with much applause.
Mr. Tilton stood behind a table on
which lay his manuscripts and read
therefrom with an oratorical method
that made thetritest truths seem like
new utterances; Mr. Beecher stood
without table or manuscript, and—
talked. Mr. Tilton shook back his
locks seemingly In defiance of any
differing opinion in the highest gal
lery: Mr. Beecher, with thumbs in
pockets, mildly argued with the oc
cupants of the front seats.”

A MUH UELEDATION.
The Democrats of Georgia, says
the Macon Telegraph, won the entire
Congressional delegation in the For
ty-fourth Congress. What has been
done onoe can be done twice. We
oall upon them to repeat tho perform
ance on the 7th of November. It may
cost some extra exertion this time,
but the game is well worth that and
much more. Whatever else is won,
let that stake be secured. It may de
cide the complexion of the next
House, and thus savo us from total
ruin. We will whip Hayes out of his
boots in Georgia, but that victory
will bo worthless if we lose the
House.
Let the people resolve that such a
result shall not bo registered. The
Radicals are wide awake, quick and
devilish. They will make the fight
of a hound in a fence corner, and
stop at nothing to get one or two of
their men. The game is ours by long
odds, it wo play for it in dead earnest.
Let every man feel that the result is
in his hands, and tho thing is done.
We claim nine memers for Georgia
In the Forty-fifth Congress, and the
claim can and must bo made good.
Down in the Second District, es
pecially, our friends must bo wide
awake. They can lay out Whitely
cold os a wedge, and get rid of him
for good, if they will just make up
their miuds to do it. Colquitt’s ma
jority in that district blazed a path
for them. What was done for him
ought to be and can bo done for
Smith. If our friends will whip
Whitley this tlmo, they will get rid
of him for good und all. Another
defeat and he is gono up. He will
lose his grip on the negroes and when
they go back on him his career is end
ed. Asa proof of the necessity for
extra exertion in this fight, read the
following from tho Dawson Journal:
We learn that Republican clubs
are being organized all over the
Second Congressional district, and
that the party is stronger to-day than
it has evor been. The negroes in this
place hold their secret meetings at
tho colored Methodist Church, and
they are using every effort to induce
the colored Democrats to join. They
will make a bold fight on the 7th
day of November for R. H. White
ley. The Republicans know that if
they aro defeated at the next elec
tion their party will be dead forever.
The negroes have a large club at this
place, and they are pledging them
selves to devote the 7th day of
November to the interest of their
party. The negro women are also
joining clubs, and are working faith
fully and diligently for their brother
Richard. An honest old colored man
informs us that Tom Crayton, pastor
of th 9 colored Methodist church at
Dawson, advised the female members
to go to the polls on that day and
see to it that no colored man votes
tho Democratic ticket.
"The Lent Rattle of the War.”
We publish a communication from
Knoxville, Tonn., taking issue with
our correspondent “B” in regard to
some statements in his late letter
concerning the gallant closing fight
at West Point. Our Kuoxvillo cor
respondent is right in his supposi
tion that the quoted portions of “B” ’s
letter were copied from some other
writer. He enclosed us tiie printed
slip, quoted, but did not name the
authority, and we could not supply
it. We see now, however, that the
LaGrange Reporter says that this
part of “B.” ’8 communication was
from Capt. Little’s Centennial ad
dress, published in the Reporter. We
are satisfied that the neglect to give
credit was unintentional on the part
of our West Point correspondent, as
ho is generally in the habit of giving
credit, and in this instance his quo
tation marks showed that he wanted
to be understood as copying.
So much on the score of credit.
While we appreciate the gallantry
of the defence made by the little
band of Confederates at West Point,
on tho ICth of April, 1865, we are not
prepared to admit the correctness of
the claim of the several writers above
mentioned, that it was the last battle
of the war. On the same day, and
at a later hour in the day, the fight
in defence of Columbus was made on
the opposite side of the river. It was
made by a few hundred undisciplined
and poorly armed troops, collected
together on that day fo* the first
time, against Oen. Wilson’s large and
splendidly equipped army. Our fight,
like that at West Point, was unsuc
cessful, but our weak force cheeked
the enemy for about eight hours, and
until he was euabled to mass and
advance his troops in the darkness of
the night, and even then he first suc
ceeded by a stratagem in cutting the
Confederate line of communication
and deranging tho plan of defence.
Gen. Wilson, in his report, admitted
a loss of twenty-five killed and
wounded in this fight. The Confed
erate loss in killed was six well
known officers and citizens, besides
two strangers reported to have been
killed. We refer to this engagement,
not at all in disparagement of the
gallant fight at West Point, nor even
to institute any comparison between
them, but only to "vindicate the
truth of history" when the claim is
made that the West Point fight was
tho last one between the Unionists
and Confederates.
Sympathy for South Carolina.—A
Washington special says: “It is sug
gested by leading Democrats here
that the Chairman of the National
Democratic Committee institute
without delay preparations for mass
meetings in all the principal cities of
the United States to take action on
the South Carolina outrage. It is
thought that the moral effect of the
people, in their sovereign capacity,
protesting against the horrible pro
ceedings now going on In South Car
olina will bo much heightened it the
meetings should all be held on the
same night. It is to be hoped the
matter will receive the attention of
the committee without delay.
THK ENSACEHBNT AT ET POINT.
Knoxville, Tenn., Oct. 27,1876.
Editor of the Times: In your issue
of the 26th, I notice a communication
from a correspondent at West Point,
in which are embodied several state
ments entirely foreign to tho facts in
tho case. I notice, however, that
what purports to be historical is en
closed in quotations; but if your cor
respondent bad taken the trouble to
inquire of any citizen of West Point
who resided there at tho time of the
engagement in question, he could
have obtained correct information,
as soveral participated in tho light,
some of whom were then mere boys
—among whom I remember young
Lanier and Camp, who fought with
the courage of veterans and were
taken prisoners. W. J. Blatter, at
the tlmo editor of a daily paper at
West Point, Is another gentleman
who participated in tho battle, and
was afterwards paroled at Macon as
a member of my battery, to avoid
any possibility of bolng treated as a
guerrilla. Mr. Blatter is now pub
lishing a paper at Winchester, in this
State, and will verify the fact.
ThS correspondent truly says: “It
was reserved for that point to bo the
last grand theatre of our revolution.
Tho last fight of that revolution was
fought upon her neights; the last
blood that was shed, and the lust
hero that fell, was upon her sacred
soil.” But what I take exceptions to
is his utterly ignoring the command
which formed tho nucleus around
which tho men of other commands
rallied. He says: “A portion of Ma-
jor Allen’s Battery,’! &c. Now, in
fact, Major Allen was not present at
the time, in the first place; field offi
cers do not, as a usual thing, com
mand companies in the second place;
and in the third place, there was no
such command In the whole Army
of Tennessee.
Copt. Waties’ battery of Light Ar
tillery, from Columbia, S. C., com
manded by Lieut. R. B. Waddell,was
there and had charge of and fought
the guns in Fort Tyler, which con
sisted of two 10-pounder Parrott
rifled guns belonging to the battery,
and a 32-pounder siege piece, which
was mounted so as to command the
railroad and county bridges over the
Chattahoochee. The artillerymen,
except three detachments, which
manned tho guns, took rifles, as
did tho other defenders of tho fort.
In addition there were about thirty
men from the Point Coupee (La.) bat
tery. The remainder of the garrison
were composed of soldiers going
home or returning to their com
mands, who were stopped in transit
by order of Gen. Tyler, convalscents
from the hospital and citizens of
West Point. Major Camp, proprie
tor of the railroad hotel, had his
eyes shot out, and his son, who was
with him during the fight, was per
mitted by the humanity of the Fed
eral commander, Col. La Grange, to
remain and nurse his father. Instead
of being retained as a prisoner of
war.
That memorable ICth of April, 1865,
will never be forgotten b 7 the sol
diers who were at Fort Tyler. The
quiet of the Sabbath was disturbed
by the tramp of charging squadrons,
tho roar of artillery and the rattle of
small arms, while terrified women
prayed vainly for success to crown
the usoless valor of their sons and
the grey-clad men from other States.
Three charges r tepulsed, but
tho ammunition of the garrison be
gan to fall and tho enemy took ad
vantage of the slackened lire and
gained the ditch—ham grenades were
thrown over the breastworks, but
their foe were too numerous to be
dislodged. One of the parrot guns
was disabled, at the other every oau
nonnier was wounded, the carriage
of the 32 pounder was damaged by
tho shell of the enemy’s pieces, the
flag was riddled with ball and bul
let, the lauyards even being cut, so
close and accurate was the fire of the
Feder&ls, but the slender cord that
supported the white and crimson
bunting of Tyler’s battle-flag, in its
recoil wrapped with serpent-like
tenacity around the tall staff, so
that it could not be lowered, and at a
quarter past six, the gallant Col.
Fannin, seeing that further resistance
was hopeless, one-third of the little
garrison being wounded and the am
munition exhausted, reluctantly or
dered a surrender. A subaltern tied a
white handkerchief on a ramrod, the
order “cease firing” was given; the
Federals poured over the breast works
with deafening cheers, and tho “last
ditch” was won.
001. Kannin fought with despera
tion, but he was nof summoned to
surrender, unless it was by his own
officers, and it was not until after his
surrondet that tho Federals entered
and cut down the flagstaff.
I write this in order that credit may
be given tho men who participated in
this engagement. The first cannon
shot was fired from a South Carolina
gun in 18G1, and the last by a soldier
from that State at West Point, in 1865.
“Palmetto.”
N. H. Babcock, late an examiner in
the Patent Office at Washington, has
published a card stating that he was
required last spring either to vote
the Republican ticket in Connecticut,
or to pay money instead; that he de
clined to do either, and was dis
charged. He publishes tho letters
which passed between the chief Clerk
and himself ("the former writing at
the bidding of Zach Chandler,) show
ing that he was required to “vote or
to pay for political purposes,” and
that his reply was, “I won’t vote or
pay for political purposes, because
my duty as an officer of this Depart
partment does not require such ac
tion.” And old Zach gave him his
walking papers, not “with .regret”
as Grant parted from Babcock and
Belknap, but with promptness and
vindictive satisfaction.
