C;) October 28, 1872. j Editors Constitution : Knowing, as wc do, .so well the benevolence and noble spirit of our Georgia ladies, we venture to make, through your paper, this appeal to them in behalf of one who wan once their countryman. I From where I am .sitting now, I can see, under the shadow of the morning fires, a solitary grave?the last resting place ol a brave young Georgian, MAJOlt noBKIlT a. hull. Well do wc remember the night when this brave young life went out a willing sucrificc on the altars of Southern chival ry. It was the night following the day of February 8th, 1865. For twenty-four hours we had been nuxiou.-dy watching and waiting for the appearance of the enemy, whose guns wc could hear but three-quarters of a inilo away as they en* deavored totorcc their passage across the Kdisto. A day ntul part of a night had the Confederates held them at bay, but overcome, not conquered, by the over whelming power of the opposing army, had now beat a retreat, and the way lay open. At a little-past nine o'clock at night the enemy came, and ?he scene o> peace and smiling prosperity, which a short while ago greeted our eyes, was now changed into one of wah an!> devastation'. But not a murmur escaped onr lips. What could we do or say, a helpless band of women and children, in the hands of ruthless invaders? But child as I was at the time, I remember the feeling of in dignation and rebellion, that raged with in me as I heard them talking in sneer ing tones of "a fool, of a rebel, who had tried to rally his men against then even after they (the enemy) had crossed tho river, and been shot down iu\ tho act. while his men iled and loft him. alone, wounded and dying." This was the tale they brought, and some of them intoxi cated, not knowing what they said, bragged of tbe manner iu which ttiey hajo^ "rifled his pockets, and then thrown him to dio in a little stream by the side of an bid-field fence." I remembered hs well as if it was yea terdejr the fire, ? ' & : GENTJIXE It EBEL EIRE, that burned in mother's eves as going im. to one or the officers in command, el/e said: "Sir, I believe you to be an officer and a gentleman, and feel that a request, coming as it docs from one, who is help less to do aught bo far as her own strength is concerned, will be complied with by you. I therefore beg you. in the name of Southern women and children, to ban' this brave young defender of our rights, of whom your men are speaking so scorn fully, brought here, to our house, that we may minister unto him." w At least here was one heart, "under, tbe flue," not altogether hardened* Touched by the appeal made to him, Ho turned nway,and in a short time the nnb1& daring young major, from whose lips t$0 battle cry had rang out so often, cheering his men on, "to victory or death," now I-AY DYINO BEFORE 178, all unconscious of the loving bauds ball,** ing the blood from brow to cheek; or$f the tears, "woman's tears" too which fejl slowly over tue blood stained bands anil face. No, none of this he ever knofe Consciousness never returned. The bail had found its way to the brave, trujfji heart, and there alas! too well it hod done, its work of destruction. Only twiSje did he speak, and once was when tab great, mournful ey?*s opened wide, a fire leaped to their depths; the right hand Wiw teebly raised, but fell again to his sidj; while above all.the ery^ruinj..Jm^c^pe. and distinct: "Charge, men, charge!" Then, again, as mother bent oyer him, parting tho matted hair from bis brow, the eyes unclosed slowly, und gazing ten derly at her, his lips murmured feebly, "MOTH KU." The lust.word he ever said, with a sigh, a moan, a f eble gn*p for breath, his his spirit took its flight to join "mother" ia the realms above, or, perhaps, there to await her coining. From the enemy wc begged the rotigh pine coffin in which wc laid him to rest, and no great genetal, buried with all the pomp and ceremony which the world knows how to accord him,ever had truer, sincercr mourners than this brave young hero, with no gaudy flag folded about, but wrapped simply in his "jacket of gray." Just iusido the gate, under a spreading oak, wc buried htm, and here for scveu long years he has slumbered. And to-day, na we stood again beside his grave for the first time in seven years, how vividly the scenes wc have just re luted come up before us. The tree has long since l>ccu cut down; the grave sunken and overgrown with grass, while a simple marble slab placed here by some kind-hearted stranger through the in strumentality of I)r, S., bearing the in scription : MAJOR ft. A. HULL, bGxu Ga* lav. KHUod at Bin linker's Bridge, j Js. the only guide to the spot. Touched by the neglect everywhere visible, we determined to do all it) our power lo show that some one at least cared for tbe sleeper. We called our little cousins, who, a few moments ago, had begged us to join in a game of romp, and #skcd them if tncy had not muoh rather "help clean off the poor soldier's grave." Their childish sympathies wer? at once enlisted, and with willing hearts and ready hui.ds wo set to work. Tho grass was cleared away, the hollow filled up, a grave fur med, and a space cleared around for a distance of four or five feet. Then the children? there were but three of them, the young est just six years old?brought cedar and evergreens, and wreaths wero mude and placed upon the grave. Our work was done. It oast us only an hour or two or lain o\ but how much happiness it brought us in return. And, now, just a few words more, and we will lay aside our pen. To the ladies of Georgia, more especially to those of our owu city?Atlanta?we make this appeal in behalf of him, this brave young soldier, who was once their countryman. Is it just .that he should lie here alone and neglected, . ? 'Kcat.li the pines of South Carolina, iar away from his own loved Georgia; while his comrades, by the side of whom ho fought in days that are past, and shared together the bivouac fire, sleep'in graves that are eared for and honored 7 Shall there bo for him no "decoration day ?'r Year after year, when the offer ings of dowers and evergreens are laid upon their graves, shall this one remain uncared for; covered over with pine straw and decaying leaves, and the mime ef him who sleeps here pink into oblivion? Ah I yfe trust not. We' ?nt ' ioo well ac quainted with tho noble hearts of our Georgia ladies to feel that this appeal will fall upon deaf cars. Whether Major Hull has relatives liv ing or not wc do not know. Wo think he has in Macon. If so and these lines meet their eyes, wc know that they will take instant steps for his removal. If not, we feel assured that the Ladies' Mem orial Association of Atlanta will come forward and respond to this appeal. If they Will write to Dr. J. P. Cleckley, at Graham's Turn Out, South Carolina, we know he will lend them all the assis tance in his powei. Will the ladies not undertake this noble work ? Wc feel assured that they will. Annie Makia. BORE KU-KLUX ARRESTS. TEN CITIZENS OF WILKINSON COUNTY, UEOll OIO, OK AUG EU FROM TIIEIB UOJIK3 11Y VKITED ?STATES SOT.DrEttS. [From ttio Savannah Advertiser.] The evening train from Macon yester day brought ten respectable and peace* able citizens of Wilkinson County, under charge of United States deputy marshals, with a tile of soldiers. The facts as wc arc able to gather them are as follows : The men were arrested under a warrant issued by a United States commissioner in Atlanta, on the affidavit of some ne groes, charging them with complicity in tho murder of a negro which occurred some months ago. One of the men, we are informed, was arrested for being con nected in sonic way with the murder of a negro, which took place about two years ago. This negro was killed by some per son or persons, and his body thrown into a ditch, where it was subsequently dis covered. An investigation was held at the time, and the case thoroughly sifted, and final iy disposed of?at least such was the supposition until this new arrest was made. The parties, whose names wc publish below, assert that they do not know for what they have been arrested and dragged from their homes, but as there has been nothing of a disorderly character in the County, except the mur der of this negro, they can think of noth ing else that prompted their arrest. They state that they were quietly at their homes, not apprehending or expecting anything of the kind, when the arrival of the United States soldiers and marshals from Atlanta aroused them, or many of them, from their quiet slumbers, nbout twelve nnd threo o'clock yesterday morn ing, and notified them that they were wanted, at the same time informed them that they were under arrest upon a war rant issued by the authorities at Atlanta. Preparing themselves as lapidly ns pos sible, they responded to tho order, and were brought to this city, arriving ns above stated, on tho evening train yes terday. Many of the gentlemen brought their sorvants with them. Five of them are merchants in Irwinton, two arc school boys, two are farmers, and one a physi cian. The following is the list: W. C. D. Curlish, II. II. llyman, Eli Peacock and Milton Lind rev, merchants, Irwinton; K. G. Hyman, merchant nnd agent of the Southern Exprws Company, and Win. Dickson and Jethro Vanlandinghain, Toombsboro'; George Campbell and Cltas. Poacock are school boys from lrwintcn. Upon the arrival of the prisoners last evening thoy wore immediately inarched off to the jail, where they will probably bo kept until the United States Court con venes, or until they carr have a prelimi nary examination before a United ?Statejj commissioner. Free Blow i? an Omnibus. "? In Nevada, there used, t:> be ;current, tbe ?tory of an adventure of tiro of her nabobs, which may or may not have oc curred. I give it for what it ifr worth: Col.. Jim had seen somewhat of the world, find knew .rftore^or less of its ways; .hut Cob Jack was from the back, settle ments of the State, and had led a life of arduous toil, nud bad never seen a city These two, blessed with sudden, wealth, projected a visit to New York., Col. Jack; to. see the sights, and Col. Jim to guard 1?3 unsophistication _ from,; misfor tune. They reached San .Francisco in the night, And sailed in the morning: Arrived in J^r.w York, Col. Jack said "I've heard tell of carriages, all my life, and now I mean to have a ride in onv; I don't care what it costs. Come along." They stepped out on the side walk and Col. Jim culled a stylish barouche. But Col. Juck said: "No, sir? None of your .cheap-John turnouts for me. I'm here to have a good time, and money ain't any object. I mean to have tho nobbiest rig thoA's go ing. Now -here comes the very tick. Sfc.p that yaller one with the pictures on it?don't you fret?I'll stand all the ex penses myself," . So Col. Jim stopped an empty omni bus, hud they got iu. Said Cel. Jack : "Ain't it gay, though ? Qh, no, I reckon not! Cushions and windows and piclurefl,-HH- ymrenn't k?W What would the boys say if they could sec us cutting a swell like this in New York? By George, I wish they could see us." Then he put his head out of the win dow und shouted to the driver: "Say, Johnny, this suits mo!?suits yours truly, you bet, you! I want this shebang nil day. I'm on it. old man ! Let 'em out! Make 'em goWe will make it ali right with you, sonny!" The driver passed bis he:d through the strap-hole nod tapped for his fare?it was before the gongs came into common use. Col. Jack Look the hand and shook it cordially. He said : "You t\\ag me, old pard! All right be tween gents. Smell of that, and see how you likoit!" And he put a twenty dollar gold piece in the driver's baud. Aller a moment the driver said he could not make change. "Bother the change! Ride it out. Put it in your pocket." Then to Col. Jim, with a sdbudingstop on his thigh : "Ain't it style though? Hinged il l don't hire this thing every day for a week." The omnibus stopped, and a young lady got in. Col. Jack stared for a mo ment, then nudged Col. Jim with bis elbow : "Don't say a word," he whispered. "Let her ride if she wants to. Gracious, there's room enough." The young lady got out her porle monnaic^tnd handed her faro to Col. Jack. "Whut's this for ?" said he. "Give it to the driver, please." "Take buck your money, madam. Wo enu't allow it. You're welcome to ride here as long as you please, but this sho bnng's chartered, and wc can't let you pay I a cent." The girl shrunk into a corner, bewil dered. Au old lady with a basket climb ed in, and proffered her fare. "Excuse me," said Col. Jack, "You're perfectly welcome here, madam, and don't you be the least uneasy. M ike yourself just as free as if you was in your own turn-out." Within two minutes, three gentlemen, two fat women, and a couple of children entered. "Como right along, friends," said Col. Jack; "Don't mind us. This is a free blow-out." Then be whispered to Col. Jim.
