LETTER III.
PiaXYlLLB, Aug, 20.
To Mr. Thompson:
Dear Sir—Just as 1 expected, only a
thuuderlu sight wurge I Tou know 1
said in my last that we wux swine to
to bare a botelllon souster In PlnerMe.
Wall, the muster has tuck place, end I
reckon aocb other doin you never
beam o< afore.
I come In town the night before,
wlib my regimentals la a bundle, ao
they ooutdn't be sited by ridln. and as
soon as 1 got my breckfaet, I begun
figin out fur the muster. 1 had s bxuo
new pair of beoti, mads jest s purpose,
witk long legs to ’em, sod a cocked list
llki ball a moon, with one of Uie
tallest hlod of rad fettMrs lu It, a Plus
cloth rest mental cost, all titivated' off
with gold and buttons, and s pair of
raller brltohea of the Unset kind.
Well, when I went to put ’em on I
couldn’t help but cuss all tbn tailors
sod sbooeusksri In Georgia. Iu lbs
fust place, my britobss like to busted
end wouldn’t reacb more’n half way to
my Jaoket; then tt tuk two nigger*
sod s pint of soap to eel my boots on;
sod my ooat hud tail enuf for S lied
quilt and stood straight out behind
like a fan tall pidgin—tt wouldn’t
bang right no how you ooald pull it.
1 never was to draUnd mad. specially
when tber was no Urn* ter tx tbioga.
for ther fellers were comin In town In
gangs sad begum in to call for mo ter
com out and take the command. Ex
pectation waa ris considerable high,
cause 1 was pledged to quip myself In
uniformity ter tber law It I waa looted
Major.
Well, btmsby 1 went ter tber door
and told Bill Skinner and Tom Cullen
ter fix tber company* and bare 'em all
ready when 1 made my pearnuos.
Then ther fuss commenced. Tbar
wasn’t but oa* drum In town and Bill
Skinner swore that he ahould drum
far his compeoy cause It bdongod to
that boat, and Turn l uiiers aworo thar
nigger should drum fer lita company,
cause he belonged to hla crowd. Thar
waa thar old Uarry to pay, and it wui
gittio worse. I didn’t know what to
do, (er they waa all oomin to tn*
erboat It and ouaalu and stiioin aad
disputtu ao I couldn’t hardly I tear one
from totber. Tblnks I, I must tbow
my aatbority tn thi* bisosaa; ao saya I
• Id tha name of the Stats of Georgia,
I command tba drum to drum fur mo.
I*a Meier of ibis batallioc and I'a com
mander of tbe mosick, tool” Th*
lb log tuck fait rats; ther was no more
rumpoa about it, and I aot tba ciggrra
a drummla aud filin’ aa bard a* they
could split right afore tbe tavern dorr.
It waa moostroua difllkllt to git tha
moo to fail la. Ther belnt been none
of tbom reformed drunkards down here
ylt, and the way the fellers does lore
poach and honny la maun.
Illmeby Kill Skinner took aeltck aad
mad* a long straight atreak hi the sand,
and than hollered out, "Oh, yea! oh.
yeel all you belongs to Ooon-holler beat
la to git in aaUaigbt Hue oo till Uaill”
Tom Cullers mad* a atraak for his boot,
and tbs fellers begun to stiiog them
selves along In a line, and In about a
quarter ot a ower they wer all settled
Ilk* bea* on a bean-pula, pretty conside
rable straight.
After awhile they aenl word to me
that they bra* all ready, and 1 bod my
boa* (otched up to tothei side of tba
tavern; but when I cum to him tbe
bominable fool didn’t know me aum
huw, aud bagun kloklog and prauclu,
and cavort! n about like mad. I made
. tbe niggers bold him till I got on. then
I sent word round to the drummer to
drum like bis tee a* soon aa be seed me
turn the cornei, and to tbe men to be
reedy to seluto. My sword kfp rat
tlin agin tba tide of my hoaa. and tbe
tool was sheared so ho didn't know
which sand be stood on. and kep daneln
about and aqnnlin and rarelu, ao I
couldn’t hardly noia no to mm.
The Digger went and told tbe men
what 1 sed; and wlvoo I thought they
waa ail ready, round I went in a canter,
will) my aaah aud regimental* a Syln
and my red father a wavlc aa rraceful
aa a oora tomel la a whirlwind; but Jeel
aa I got to the comer User waa a fuaa
hka naavan anJ ynath waa comm to
gether. Battlecebang w b e r-r-r-r-rl
went tbe drum, and the nigger blowed
the fife right out itralght, tilt bla eyea
waa aot In hi* head—“barral bsy-y-yl
burns!" weut all the nlgoura and every
body elae— my lioaa wbaeTln aod pitch In
worse than evar, right up to tbe mu*
ter—and, before I could draw my broth
bangl Imugl bangl de larngl banal
bangl went every gua In (be crowd,
and all I knowed waa, 1 was whiriio,
aod pttotila, and swinging about Id the
•moke and fire tilt I cum full laogtb
right a mack oo tbe ground, “In all the
pride, pomp, and elrcumataocee of
glorlon* war," at Mr. Hhakapear tee.
Laeky enough I didn't git hurt; bat
my cote waa split clean ep to the cot
ier, my yaUer britches boated all to
Binders, aod my cocked hat and father
all nookod Into a perfect miuh.
Thunder end llghtnlo 1 think* I, what
moat be a man'a feel I ns in a rale battle,
wbar they’re ahootla bullets In pood
yearnest I
Cam to Bod oat. It wet ell a mis
take; the men didn't know nothing
about military Uoktaok#. and Uiought
I meant a regular fourth of Jaly
salute.
I had to lay by my regluiaotsls.
But I kaow'd my oaiaoter waa at ataka
aa a oMeer, and 1 term toed to go with
the master, Mo I told SbUner and
Culler* to pit the men straight agin,
aod when they was all la a lloa I
sorted ’em eot. Tbs fallen what had
fuse I pat In front, them wbst had
sticks to tbs rare, aod them what bad
do shoes, down to the bottom by them
selvae, so nobody eouMat tramp or
their lose. A good many of *sss tones
to bo very dlSkllt to manauge, sol
determined to marrh ’em out to a ok
M4, wbar tboy oouldnt git no mots
I lobar, specially mass I was Merged U
wear my tot her clothes.
Well, after T gad 'see all Used, mm I
“Music! quick lltnet by tltfe right flank,
flic, left, marehl" They stood for
boat • miolt lookin’ at me. ‘‘By flank
mar-r-r-rehl” mI.u loud hi I cuuld
holler. Then they begun lookin at
one another and hunohlo one another
wilb their elbow a. and the fuit tiling t
know’ll they wet all twiated up in a
snarl, solo both ways at both ends,
aod aUmercbln through each other in
tbe middle. In all aorta of halier skelter
fashion. “Halil" aua 1, "halt! whar
upon vealh la you all gwlne!”—And
tbar they was. all in a huddle. They
know’d hotter, but jnat wanted to
botber me. I do believe.
"Never mind," aea I, “gentlemen,
arc’ll try Uiai revolution over agiu."
So when I got ’em all in line agin, I
iptalued It to ’em, and gin 'em the
word ao they could understand It.
“Furwanl march!'’ sea I—and away
they went, not all logethsr, but two by
tarn, evary teller waitln til Ilia tarn
cam to step, ao before tbe barefoot
ouai got alarled, I cuuhln’t hanlly sea
to tother and of tha balallloa. I 1st
’em go ahead till we got to the old
Arid, and then t tried to atop ’em; but
1 had ’em In gangs all over the field tn
less than no time. "Ulnae upl” ace I,
at loud as f could holler, but lhay only
stood and looked at mo Ilka they didn’t
know what I meant. "Ult Into a
straight line agin," see I. That brung
’em all together, and l told 'em to rest
a while, before I put 'em through the
manuRi
Bout this time out come a whole
heap of fallen with sum candidate*,
wbat wai ruRDln for the Legislator,
and wanted I should lot ’em address
tbe betalllon. 1 toWI ’em I didn't care
ao long us they didn’t kick up no row.
Well, the men wer all high up for
hoarlu tlv* speeches of the candidates,
and got round ’em thick as die* aronod
a fat gourd. Bvu AntWy—!>•*» the
poplarwet candidate down her*— begun
tbe show by glllln on a stomp, and
takln bla bat off right In tbe brlllo
hot run.

Then lie jumped dowa and went

every feller. “Down with Ur* cussed

Squire Petlybonu was a little abort

LlaOuln Journal,
Fifteen years ago this writer advo
cated tbe building of a line of railroad
from Denver, through Triangle,
LowesriUa and Mountain Island to Ml
Holly. After all ttieae years, oar hope
of seeing Ibis enterprising and beaatlful
•rotion made to boom by the building
of a railroad through it, seems about
to reach fruition.
Monday a corps of Seaboard Air
Idne engineers began a preliminary
survey of a line to run from Gastonia
vk Mt. Itolly to Deover and, possibly,
on to Newton, a* a branch of Uie
9. A. I
Tbe bollding of tbe Henrietta
branch has proven so proltiible that
tbe 8. A. L. Is encouraged to bo lid
other branches. The Uastoots-Dariver
brandies will t>rov* lamrnsely profl
Isblr. They will haul tbs freight of
lbs half dozen or more large cotloa
factories situated on tl>c line, sDd will
encourage the building of others.
The first survey Is being made from
Mv Holly to Uaatooia. After this is
made, ilia engineers will begin on the
line tn Denver.
The 9. A. 1,. Is proving Itself s lion
io the path of ths Southern sod hit
won every bailie It hav yet. had with
that system. It will tap the Southern
at Gastonia and probably at Newtun.
Then, la tbs not nmols future, it will
run a hraneh from bus! by vlaCieveUud
Mills to Morganlon.
We congratulate East Lincoln upon
Uw good fortune that Is sbont to come
her way. Slia deserves it all.

With the sodden change of purpose of

frantically about the engine and ten

shrieking and singing In senseless de

Hanging ou lu the throttle, the Bre

MU Alp, in Atlanta U>—IMumm.
Thai la a pretty and pathetic story
that my youug friend Fred Govan
wrote about tbo missionary, Dr. But*
ler, and hi* wife. So doubt but that
It la founded on feet, and be probably
got lit* data from some very old man
who still Uvea neas Ceoeevflle, a )IU]e
village It mtlae below Bom*. 1 was
iutereatrd in Hie aWy because when 1
waa a Lad that lame Dr. Butler waa
Imprisoned In the oounty jail io Law
rvneeviUe, where ter fetlier lived.
Another missionary. by the name of
Worcester, waa Imprisoned with them,
sad their offense was tbeir refusal to
take the oath of allegiance to Die state
of Georgia or otherwise to leave the
Cherokee nation. They wero suspect
ed of using tbeir Inllueooe to tender
llie Indiana dlmallsArd with the treaty
tlust requited Iheni to go west. John
Howard Payne, tlw author of “Home,
Sweat linins," was also a suspect, and
waa atnsied and taken to Milled ge
nii* to Iw examined. Thom were hot
times In Ueurgia, especially norli
Georgia, for Gwlunett waa a border
enunty. and w* children could almost
see Indiana squatted among the chin
qoaptn bnabaa or behind the tiers on
the road to the mill- 'Vs knew they
were just over the Chatteltooebae
river, and that some while pet>f4t ovrr
tliore had been murdered by tbem. In
diana were as much a terror to us as
ghosts and runaway negroes. The
new granite jell bed jaet Ixreu com
pleted, and nine Indiana were the first
prisoners. They all escaped within a
week. They took up a slows in the
floor and burrowed out like mules or
rabbits.
1 never hoard until Govan wrote it
that Butler was dragged to MIIledge
vllle with a rope around hla neck, nor
am 1 prepared to believe that much of
the atory. II# and Woreeater*werw ar
rested In Nan KalmlH fin Gordon
ennnty) and brought mounted to Law
rencevtlle ami tried before Judge Clay
ton, who >u Mr*. Henry Grady's
grandfather. A learned, humane and
IncoriuptlUe judge. They bad the
beet of local canned. Ell»b» Ctieslor,
alto a native of Connecticut. aud Uiry
had the renowned William Wirt ae ad
viser, and they bad tbe president, John
Quincy Adame, oa their aide. John
Marshall, tbe chief Justice of the su
preme court, issued bis mandamus to
•viapvl Judge i/lA/tnn to ralauaa the
prisoners, but he refused, aud a col
nation seemed inevitable l-etweon the
UniVc-d Slats* and the slate of Geor
gia. 1 think that Ur. Govim'a tnfor.
formant la mistaken, for Haller had
lots of friends—powerful friends—and
John Itoss, tbe chief of the Clmrokeos,
was backing him. Doubtless lie waa a
good man, bat be was stubborn and
fanatical, and declared he owed no al
teglanoe except to tu* Amcrleao board
of foreign missions and te Ood—that
It was bis duty to teach Christianity
to the Indians, and lie would continue
to do so.

ysar* Whan they arrived at till
ledgevllle Gov. Laapklu klodly ad
vised tnem to lake tbe oath or agree lo
leave tbe state, and if they would do
either be would at unoo psrdou tliem.
Tksy refused and wrote to tl.o board o(
mlmlona for advice. That board com
mended their refusal mad again urged
Wirt and Sergeant to resort to Ui* su
preme court. But these eminent law
yer* advised an acceptance of Go*.
Lumpkin's offer. So they accepted
and were pardoned—aud my father al
ways said they returned to Uounectl
cut. He knew them and bad many
conversation* with tbem and gave
them good advlor, fur lie, too, was a
New England man. And hence I am
surprised to learn ftom Mr. Goran
that Butler returned to lit* mUdoaury
work And died near Cooaavllle end was
buried by tbe tide of his wlfo. In
fact, i never knew before that be bad
a wife; but of ooiree tbe ineorlptloa oo
her tombstone eettlu* that. Mr. G»r
vgn give* Butler the Christlan name
of Bluuea. but the records in tbe state
archives show bla name, aa he hltnovlf
signed It, to be Xllur.
“It Is, however, an IntareiUng and

Georgia ceded Alabama and Missis
