BashfiilncM. !
What fools folks are to be bashful! If
any one had the patience to write a history
of their miseries,' the work £would fill vol
umes. We don’t blame womanhood, of
course, for being timid ; a young and blush
" ing girl is certainly a subject for sympa
thy if not an “ object of interest.” But a
bashful man — who pities him ? Look at
him! With a distressing consciousness of
having hands and feet to dispose of—always
saying what he never intended to say, and ,
doing what he never intended to do—the
butt of one sex, and the aversion of the ,
other —his case is surely one that calls for .
something more than common commisera <
tion.
And yet such persons often possess a
wealth of affection and a strength of intel
lect, which only needs the stern discipline
of the world to quicken into life and beauty.
An instance of this kind, in the case of a
friend, just now occurs to us. No one,
from his calm and dignified bearing, would
suspect it now ; yet he was at twenty, the
most bashful person we ever saw. At
school he always had more whippings than
any other noy—not because he was either
willful or mischievous, but because, when
accused of any thing, he would always blush
and stammer —which the master always
persisted in considering a conclusive evi
dence of guilt. As he grew older, his bash
fulness rather increased than diminished.—
He had an almost reverential adoration for
the opposite sex, yet he was far from being
a favorite with them. And no wonder.—
If a girl only looked at him, he would
blush, hang his head, and look just as though
he had been caught stealing sheep ! If he
ever attempted any little civility, his awk
wardness made it positively annoying. In
waiting upon a lady across the room, he
would generally contrive to trip her up, or
in handing her from a carriage, he was
pretty sure to land her in a gutter.
But there was one who perceived the no
ble intellect and loving heart that lay be
neath that unprepossessing exterior. And
she knew that she was loved ; his eyes had
often told her that, and with many winning
smiles, she had tried to induce him to tell
her so in words. But all the opportunities
her woman’s tact gave him, were thrown
away. The glance of her soft blue eye, the
lightest touch of her little white hand,
thrilled him through and through—yet he
stood in her presence like one dumb and
bereft of sense. True, the w’ords often
trembled on the tip of his tongue, yet he
never had the courage to utter them.—
Piqued by what she deemed his insensibili
ty, she at length encouraged the attentions
of one for whom she entertained not the
slightest affection. The poor fellow suffered
in silence for some weeks, until at last the
fear of losing her altogether wrung from his
lips the avowal they should have uttered
long before. But, alas ! it was “ too late,”
and she told him so, and left the room.
Years have passed since then. The hero
of our sketch has become a man. He has
won wealth and distinction ; and along in
tercourse with the world has completely
eradicated the blushing timidity of the
bashful boy. But he has never married.—
So much for early diffidence.
Reader, don’t be bashful. If you love
your cousin or “ somebody else,” don’t be
afraid to tell her so; but do it man-fashion.
Tell her right out what you’ve got to offer,
and ask her to name the day, and then go
and “ order the furniture ! ”

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 15th, 1863. )
Some malicious person or persons have
put in circulation a report to the effect that
the Georgia soldiers now in Confederate
service, will have to pay for the socks be
ing donated to them by the patriotic women
of Georgia, in answer to my appeal of De
cember 15th, 1862. I take this public
manner of contradicting said report. It is
utterly false.
Every sock received at this office is en
tered upon a reconi book, giving the name,
county and post office of the donor. These
sorks will be packed up and sent, FREE
OF CHARGE, to the soldiers of Georgia
in Confederate service. The soldiers re
wiving them will not have to pay either for
thcSoeksor their transportation ; and eve
ry sock sent to this office will find its way
to some soldiers feet.
I regret know that some have given
credence to this report, but sincerely hope
that this note of explanation will set the
matter right, and that they will at once go
to work and gladden the heart of some
Georgia warrior, whose feet now press the
frosted, icv turf of Virginia and Tennessee.
•' Already a large number have come in,
and the work is only just begun.

SABCIR » A Mss a.
j The Superiority of the Confeder
ate Generals.
In the admiration partly excited by the
valor of our soldiers, we are apt to forget
the praise due to the superior skill of their
leaders. The blaze of victory which has il
lumined the Confederate standard, has its
origin not only in the indomitable courage
of the men, but equally in the skill with
which our armies have been led.' Both
these elements of victory are combined in
our armies more intimately and largely,
perhaps, than in any other which ever had
existence. Each is necessary to the other
—without the courage of the soldier, the
skill of the general is useless—and under
an unskillful or distrusted general, soldiers,
individually brave, are collectively liable
to panic and defeat.
It has astonished the world that the Con
federacy has been able, in so short a time,
to transform men, few of whom had ever
seen a shot fired in anger, into efficient sol
diers ; still more remarkable has it been
that the officers, most of whom had never
“ set squadron in the field,” have, in such a
short time, displayed the qualities of con
summate Generals. When the tocsin of
war was sounded, armed men sprang forth
in thousands —not unly armed, but skillful
in the use of arms, and requiring but a few
weeks to educate them into veterans.—
Never before was there so sudden and thor
ough a transformation of citizens, quietly
pursuing their peaceful pursuits, into vete
ran warriors and skillful leaders. Other
nations have aroused their people en masse
upon emergencies, but months and years
1 elapsed before their levies acquired disci
! pline and nerve enough to stand the storm
of battle; but in the history of this war,
1 we can recall no instance where the panics
’ to which raw militia are so notoriously sub
ject, have seized bodies of Confederate sol
-1 diery.
But this courage and steadiness in battle
would have been vain without skill in their
officers, and it is not the least wonderful of
the many strange circumstances of this war
that, without experience except that gained
in the short war with Mexico, so much
knowledge of the art of war, which usually
takes a life time to learn, should have been i
displayed. Our enemies have as yet evinced I
; nothing comparable with it, and they have
been beaten, despite their superior numbers, 1
not entirely through any unusual lack of'
courage in their men, but for want of mill-1
tary talent in their officers. Our situation [
is not unlike that of Wellington and his ar- i
my in the Peninsular war, where his per
feet military science with inferior numbers,'
combatted and conquered inferior skill hav-|
ing at its disposal immensely superior I
armies.
The situation of the English and French :
armies in Spain, is almost a parallel with
that of the Confederate and Federal armies.
Wellington at no time commanded more l
than fifty thousand men, while the French:
armies frequently exceeded four hundred!
thousand. The English were badly provi
ded with arms and artillery, and their other,
necessary supplies were so bad and so un- ’
certain in their arrival, that they depended
mostly upon what they took from the ene
my. Marches were often postponed for
want of shoes, and their clothes were patched
and ragged. Wellington himself was ham
pered by contradictory orders and distracted
councils at home, and had to placate and
appease the jealousies of those sovereign-’
ties disposed at times to censure and throw
obstacles in his way ; yet, despite these J
drawbacks, he drove the greatly superior
French armies, led by the best and bravest
i Marshals of Napoleon, ignominiously out of
Spain, dethroned the usurper, and restored
I the legitimate government. 1
; His successful career illustrates what can
> be done by superior military skill alone, for
in bravery and discipline his soldiers were
, only the equals of Napoleon’s veterans, and 1
i inferior in numbers, and the study of that
piece of history ought to inspire us with i
hope and encourage us to perseverance. !
On every field, almost without exception,!
3 our officers have displayed their superiority, i
r Their combinations have been faultless, and
if they failed always to secure the full fruits
1 of victory, it has not been from any fault in
■ their plans, but from untoward circumstan i
I ees that no precaution could prevent. Even'
1 the cavalry “raids,” as they are called,!
‘ are brilliant examples of strategy and
e vigor, though affording no opportunity I
-'for the display of elabor ate military science.
'*■ We possess, then, in the superiority of our |
' officers, besides the valor of our soldiers, an
element of success which has, in countless ;
* instances in the history of war, neutralized I
the power of numbers, and will do so as
long as war continues to be waged.

Obituary.
Richard W. Milner was born March
1 19, 1833; married Miss Sallie E. Ravens
December 12, 1855 ; and died near Fred
e erieksburg, Va., December 16, 1862.
s He was among the first who volunteered
in defense of the South—was a member of
- the Confed'rate Guards of Pike county,
\ ;Ga., which company was in the 13th Geor
e gia regiment.
He started with the regiment to Virginia
ft in July 1861, and on account of pr itracted
- sickness was discharged and return* d home
r January Ist, 1862;but entered the service,
- in Virginia again, in August following, and
r was wounded, near Fredericksburg, Dee.
14th, from which he died the 16th, and was
i plainly buried by his soldier friends, but
‘ I his remains were afterwards brought home
.'<and placed iu the family grave-yard on the
»! 16th January, 1863.
* Thus has fallen one of Georgia’s noblest
i': sons. It must be painful to die far from
. I home—from mother, kindred, friends, wife
i, and children. But he died as a Soldier—-
having refused to employ a substitute, tho’
persuaded to do so—and as a Christian can
i. only die, having no fears of the future.—
Though he had not united with the church,
his Christian experience was knoWn to the
; writer and a few others, years ago. Os his
' last hours, Elder G. F. Cooper, who is a
' surgeon in the army, thus writes :
“Mr. Milner, of the 13th Georgia, bro
! ther-in -law of Elder J. M. Wood, in compa
ny with another man, was detailed to carry
water to the regiment while in line of bat
tle, and though some distance in the rear, a
solid shot instantly killed one, and nearly
tearing Milner’s left arm from his body and
seriously bruising his side. The shock was
great, from which he never fully recovered.
Two days subsequent, when it was deter-
mined to remove his arm already offensive,
I asked him of his religious prospects, &c.
He answered, ‘ I never made any profes
sion of religion, (i. e.) have never attached
myself to any church, and I have a little
family for whose benefit I desire to live ;
but in regard to the future,’ and turning
his eyes up to mine, and with a countenance
serene and composed, and in well-measured
words, said, ‘ I have no fear.’
“ How like a little Bethel it seemed, when
those whose lives were fast ebbing, and be
fore whom the glare of the world, with all
its alluring interests, was fading, and to
whom the realities of the momentous future
were looming up, could say ‘ I trust in
Christ,’ and ‘I have no fear.’ I felt to thank
God that He could inspire frail mortals, full
of sin and weakness, in an hour which tries
the soul; in the face of that terrible mon
ster, death, with such confidence, such cool
ness and fearlessness.”
In the name of his kindred, many thanks
to brother Cooper for this simple i ecord,
as they had anxiously listened for some
expression from him in the trying hour.
Dear Richard now sleeps as a Christian
soldier, near his aged sire, in sight of the
old family residence—where the mother,
the wife and orphan children can plant wil
lows, vines and roses over his grave, and
where they may oft renew their vows to
meet hirn in that land where there is no
war—no sorrow.
“ There glory beams on all the plains,
And joy for hope is given;
There music swells in sweetest strains,
i And spotless beauty ever reigns,
And all is love—in heaven.
There is a stream that ever flows
To passing pilgrims given ;
There fairest fruit immortal grows,
The verdant flower eternal blows
Amid the field—of heaven. .
There is a great and glorious prize
For those with sin have striven ;
’Tis bright as star of evening skies,
And far above it glittering lies,
■ A golden crown—in heaven.” W.
