The last breeze that swept from the held
of Chickahominy, on the evening of the ->lst
ultimo, bore upon its blood-bathed wings
the sad intelligence of the fall of Charles
E. Sanders, Adjutant of the 22d Regiment
of Georgia Volunteers.
In his death, Georgia has lost a brave
soldier, a mother a dutiful son, a wife a de
voted and kind husband, a sister an affec
tionate brother, and society an inestimable
member.
Charlie was ambitious, a stranger to fear,
yet a lover of peace. In the full vigor of
youth, burning with fervent patriotism, ever
zealous in laudable enterprise, he ignored j
self, and promptly responded to his conn- j
try’s call for volunteers; left all, gave up
all—determined, if necessary, to die in de
fence of our country’s sacred rights. Ac
cordingly he entered the ranks as a private
in Captain King’s company. His courteous
and unassuming manners soon discovered
fiis worth and ability, and in due he
was promoted to the Adjutancy of his Reg-
iment, which ofHee he filled with honor to
himself and with credit to his countiy.
But, alas ! alas ! on the evening of the 31st
£ S; proudly,
ayictim to the destructive missiles of our
Northern foe.
<)n his way to Virginia he talked with
the humble writer of this—about leaving
his home, his widowed mother, only sister,
and lovely wife to whom he had been wed
ded but a short time —remarking that it
was the most trying time of his life. ‘ But,
said he, ‘ I feel it a duty 1 owe my country.’
lie further remarked that many lives would
be lost, but they could not be sacrificed in
a more noble and holy cause. Said he, Jlt
called into action, I will strive to be first
and foremost in the fight,’ which promise
he kept, for he was among the first who
fell, while cheering his men and urging
them on.
W hen it is remembeied that Charlie was
an humble Christian, an exemplary member
of the Baptist church —a sincere martyr
upon his country’s altar —let every tear be
dry. And for the consolation of the spe
cially bereaved, may Providence protect
and reward them for so noble an offering
upon their country’s shrine.

Pacing Events.
The Fight on James’ Island. —On Satur
day, 14th inst., there was a heavy skirmish
on James Island, near Charleston, in which
the Forty-seventh Georgia regiment bore
the brunt of the battle, losing a considerable
number of men. On Monday the enemy
again advanced upon our lines, when a se
vere conflict ensued, in which our arms weie
victorious. The Federals were repulsed at
! every point, with a loss of four hundred
! killed and wounded. We took 30 prisoners.
The Battle near Richmond. —The Confed
erate loss in the battle near Richmond w’as
2,300 killed, wounded and missing, ihe
killed on our side was remarkably small as
compared with the number of wounded
Avery large proportion of the wounded
will recover. The Federals confess to 800
killed, 4,000 wounded, and we took 800
prisoners. It is thought there will be an
other battle there at an early day. M c
think this doubtful, as the enemy was rough
-1,. * m cii otner engagement. lie
will certainly not be in a hurry to risk a
general battle. His plan, we think, will
be to approach by regular siege.
Hung. —There were seven ‘engine thieves’
hung, at the Fair-grounds near this place,
on the 18th instant. One of them address
ed the people, as we understand, and ex
pressed sorrow for having engaged in so
ignoble an enterprise, and said they would
not have been in such an affair but for the
persuasions of others.
The news (from Northern sources) is
that France has acknowledged the independ
ence of the Southern Confederacy. Lord
Lyons has returned to England, and it is
thought that England will soon
example of France.
Military Change. —General A. R. Law
ton has been ordered to Virginia. Gen’l
I Hugh A. Mercer has been remanded to Sa
vannah, and General William D. Smith
has assumed the command at Charleston.
The Late Col. Ashby. —The remains of
this chivalrous officer were interred, with
military honors, in the University burying
ground, near Charlottesville, Ya. His
grave will ever be a hallowed spot, to
which the votary ofSouthern freedom will
oft turn with reverence, and lay a laure]
wreath to garnish the tomb of the true pa
triot, the brave and daring soldier, and the
noble gentleman.
Saved by the Bible .- —Another instance
in which a pocket-Bible saved a soldier’s
life (told by an eye-witness) occurred at the
battle of Williamsburg. The ball went,
clear through the blessed Book, and lodged
in the pocket that carried it.
Death of Captain Berry. —This gentle
man, well known as the former popular
commander of the New York and Charles
ton steamer * Columbia,’ died recently in
Brooklyn. It will be remembered that
Captain Berry was the first man that enter
ed Charleston harbor under the Palmetto
tlag. lie was soon afterwards imprisoned
in Fort Lafayette, for ‘ alleged secession
tendencies,’ and released but a few weeks
since.
A Traitor. —Neil S. Brown, of Tennes
see, who didn't kill Andy Johnson, has
gone over to Lincolnism. He had not, at
last accounts, imitated the example of his
infamous prototype —-he who * went out
and hanged himself.’
The Mississippi. —The great ram ‘ Ark
ansas,’ the rival of the Merrimac, is said to
be finished, and has made a successful trip
to Vicksburg. It is believed that she will
be able ‘ to sweep the Mississippi.’
‘.l Great Victory.' —ln an article noticing
the battle at Shiloh, the New York Herald
quietly remarks that * two more such vic
tories as those of Donelson and Shiloh will
leave us [Federal*] without an army in
the Southwest.’ The Express says there
is no paper published in the North of suffi
cient volume to hold the list of killed and
wounded at Shiloh.
Kentucky. —The Memphis Appeal has in
telligence daily from Kentucky, most en
couraging to the hopes of the friends of the
Southern cause. The high-handed acts ofi
tyranny which have been practiced by thei
Federal authorities, coupled with the Lin
coln policy of emancipation, andtheenor-j
mous taxes they are called upon to pay to j
carry on a war in which they have no sym
pathy, has aroused among the people a
feeling of the most promising nature, and;
their movements indicate a strong desire toj
avoid the apathy which has so longcharae-l
teri/ed their action.
*
The Cotton Famine. —Accounts from
English papers represent the distress in
Great Britain and Ireland, in consequence;
of the cotton famine, as appalling. The
matter has been brought before Parliament
for the consideration of that body.

Orders were read at
last evening, commanding us,
Major-Gen’! Pemberton, to hold
in readiness to be called into
action. We know not where we may be*
ordered.
I have ohe request of the Christian public
to make, ere we leave. Nearly all the
Tracts that our societies have issued have
been read by our men. The thirst now
manifested for religious reading ought to
be gratified. Our brethren of every de
nomination can do much in this way.—
There are many, of our Christian friends
who have large quantities of religious pa
pers, pamphlets, etc., lying about their
houses. No matter how old th§y are, if
they are only good. Those good brethren
or sisters who have such, and desire that
the brave defenders of their homes, their
altars and their firesides, shall enjoy the
reading thereof, can have them distributed
amongst them by the plan herein suggested.
Those living in Atlanta or the immediate
vicinity can send the papers, pamphlets,
etc., to the Rev. Messrs. Scott, Brantley,
Wilson, McDonnell, Freeman, Hornady,
or to myself on the encampment. Those
living at a distance can send them by Ex
press, directed to me. I hope the brethren
will pay Express charges; from each one
twenty-five cents w'ould pay all—whereas
if it all came out of my private purse, the|
cost would be felt in times like these.
Shall I appeal in vain ? Will not some |
dear, kind sisters undertake this work, and J
flood my tent with papers and pamphlets ? i
God only knows the influence they may
exert. Mothers, wives, sisters, remember
the loved ones on the tented field!

Eulogy upon llic Life uiul Charuc
ter of the 11011. Charles .1.
McDonald,
Pronounced, by Henry R. Jackson, at Ma
rietta, April 20/A, 1861.
This is a pamphlet of 35 pages, published
by the Franklin Printing House, Atlanta,
Ga., and its contents afford unmistakable
evidence that they are the production of a
vigorous and highly cultivated 'mind. We
have read Eulogies upon many of our great
departed ones, by their surviving compeers,
but we do not remember ever to have seen
anything of the kind, which so entirely cap
tivated us, as the one under review. Ex-
Governor McDonald was a most exemplary
character, upright, honest and truthful, and |
it is fortunate for his memory that he has,
found a Eulogist so fully competent to the
task of portraying his great and manly vir
tues, as the Hon. Henry R. Jackson. In
reading this production, one can scarcely
tell which most to love and admire, the
great man who has fallen, or the no less
gifted one who pours forth, in strains of im
passioned eloquence, his touching eulogy of
the mighty dead. Every Georgian who
is capable of appreciating that noblest work
of God, “an honest man,” should procure
a copy of Mr. Jackson’s Eulogy. Those:
who desire to possess a literary gem, so
pure and rare, may be gratified by sending .
their orders immediately to Wood, Ilan
leiter, Rice & Cos., at this place.
