The Lone Sentry. -
by james TL. H.VNDAI.L.
'Twasin the dying of the day,
The darkness grevr so still:
Tho drowsy pipe of evening birds
Was hushed upon the lull;
Athwart the shadows of the Tale
Slumbered the men of might,
And one lone sentry paced his rounds,
To watch the camp that tugm*.'^
A gray* nnd solemn man was he,
With deep and somber brow ;
The dreadful eyes seemed hoaidtng up
Some unaccomplished vow.
The wistful glanee peered o'er the plains
Bonenth the stany light?
And with the murmured name of God,
lie watched the camp that night
The future opened nnto him
Itsgrand and awfnl scroll;
MannHsn* nnd the > alley march
Came heaving o'er his soul?
Richmond and Shaipt-burg thundered bv
With the tremendous light
"Which gave Aim to the angel host
Who watched the camp that night.
We mourn for him who died for nx,
With one rcsbtlesri moan ;
While up the Valley of the Lord
lie marches to the Throne!
He kept the faith of nun and saints
Sublime nnd pine ami bright?
He idccp.??and all is well with him,
Who watched the camp that night.
Brother.?! the Midnight of the Cause
In shrouded in our fate;
The demon (Soths pollute onr hall.s
With lire and hint and hate;
Be strong?be valiant?be assured
Strike home for Heaven and Bight!
The son! of Jackson .-.talks abroad,
And guards the cam]* to-night!

Editors Constitution : Knowing, ns
\vc do, so well the benevolence nnd noble
spirit of our Georgia Indies, we. venture to
nuike, through your paper, this uppcal to
them in bchulf of one who w;us once their
countryman.
Front where I am sitting now, I can
see, under the shadow of the morning
fires, a solitary grave?the bist resting
place ol a brave young Georgian,
MAJOlt robert A. hull.
Well do we remember the night when
this brave young life went out a willing
sacrifice on the altars of Southern chival
ry. It was the night following the day
of February 8th, 18b'~>. For twenty-four
hours wc hail been anxiously watching
and waiting for the appearance of the
enemy, whose guns wc could hear but
three-quarters of a mile away as they cu
deavored tolorce their passage across the
E4i*to. A day and 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, nnd *hc scene o*
peace and smiling prosperity, which n
short while ago greeted onr eyes, was now
changed into one of
war axi> dkvabtatiox.
But not a murmur escaped our lips.
What could wc do or say, a helpless band
of women and children, in the hands of
ruthless invaders? But child ns 1 wnsnt
the time, I remember the feeling of in
dignation and rebellion, that raged with
in me an 1 heard them talking in sneer
ing tones of "a fool, of a rebel, who had
tried to rally his men against then even
alter they (the enemy; had crossed tho
river, nnd been shot down injho act,
while bis ?neu fled and *toil him, alone,
wounded and dying." This was the tale
they brought, and some of them intoxi
cated, not knowing what they said,
bragged of the manner in which tlicy haj^
"rifled bis .pockets,, and then thrown
him to din iu a little, stream by the side/
of fin old-field fence."
I remembered as well as if it was yes
terday thd fire, &
: GENUINE It KB KT. FlttE,
that burned in mother's eyes'ds going ??
to one or the officers in command, eae
said: "Sir, I believe you to be an officer
and a gentleman, and feel that a rcques^,
coming as it docs from one, who is help
less to do aught so far as her own strength
is eoncerncd, will be complied with Ijy
you. I therefore beg you. in the name of
Southern women and children, to have
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."
At least here was one heart, "under
the flue," not altogether hardened*
Touched by the appeal made to him, no
turned away, and in a short time the noblft
daring young major, from whose lips tue
battle cry had rang out so often, cheering
his men on, "to victory or death," now
lay dying BEFOItti
all unconscious of the loving hau?l? bath*
ing the blood from brow to cheek; or.Of.
the tears, "woman's tears" too which, fell
slowly over tue blood stained hands and
face. No, none of this he ever knmfr.
Consciousness never returned. The ball
had found its way to the brave, truS,,
heart, und thcro alas! too well it ha!d
done its work of destruction. Only twice
did he speak, and once was when taje
great, mournful eyes opened wide, a fife
leaped to their depths; the right hand \?as
feebly raised, but fell again to his sitk;
while above alLthu try_mu?Tiiut*cls?cu
and distinct : "Charge, men, charge!"
Then, again, as mother bent p.ver him,
parting tho matted hair from bin brow,
the eyes unclosed slowly, and gazing ten
derly at her, his lips murmured feebly,
"motiikp.."
The last word Jie ever said, with a sigh,
a moan, a f oble gn?p for breath, his
his spirit took its flight to join "mother"
ia the realms above, or, perhaps, there
to await her coming.
From the enemy wc begged the rough
pine coffin in which we laid him to rest,
and no great geneial, 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 inside the gate, under a
spreading oak, we buried him, nnd here
for seven long years he has slumbered.
And to-day, us wo stood again beside
his grave for the first time, in seven years,
how vividly the scenes we have just re
lated come up before us. The tree has
long since been 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 Dr, S., hearing the in
scription :
MAJOR R. A. HULL,
??tu Ga. Inv. .
Killed at Ihnnnkcr's Bridge,
|s, the only guide to the spot.
Touched by the neglect everywhere
visible, we determined to do all in our
power to show that some one at least
cared for the slee|>er.
Wc called our little cousins, who, a
few moments ago, had begged us to join
in a game of romp, nnd $skcd them if
they had not much rather "help clean off
the poor soldier's grave." Their childish
sympathies wer? at once enlisted, and
with willing hearts aud ready hur.ds wo
set to work. Tho grass was cleared away,
the hollow filled up, a grave formed, and
a spaee cleared around for a distance of
four or five feet. Then tho children?
there were but three of them, the young
est just six years old?brought cedar and
ovorgreens, and wreaths wero made and
plaeed upon the grnvo. Our work was
done. It east us only an hour or two ot
labor, but how much happiness it brought
us in return.
And, now, just a few words more, and
wc will lay aside our pen. To the ladies
of Georgia, more especially to those of
bur own city?Atlanta?we make this
appeal in behalf of him, this brave young
soldier, who was bnoe their countryman.
Is it just .that he should lie here alone
and neglected,
. 'Neaththe pinee of South Carolina,
iar away from his own loved Georgia;
while his comrades, by the aide of whom
he fought in days that are past, and
shared together the bivouac fire, sleep'iu
graves that are eared for and honored 7
Shall there bo for him no "decoration,
day?''' Year after year, when the offer
ings of flowers and evergreens are laid
upon their graves, shall this one remain
uncared-for; covered over with pine straw
and decaying leaves, and tire name of
htm who sleeps here rink into oblivion?
Ah l Tve trust not. We' ?fe:" too 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 we do not know. We think
he has in Macon. If so and these lines
meet their eyes, we 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 powci.
Will the ladies not undertake this
noble work ? Wc feel assured that they
will. Ansik Maria.
MORE KU KUK ARRESTS.
TEX CITIZENS OF WILKINSON COUXTV, OEOIl
OIO, UJIAOOKO FKOM TIIEIB UOMES UY
VN1TED ' STATES SiOM<lF.llS.
[From the 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 file 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, oil the affidavit of some ne
groes, charging them with complicity in
the murder of n negro which occurred
sonic months ago. One of the men, we
arc informed, was arrested for being con
nected in some 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, nnd the case thoroughly sifted,
nnd finally disposed of?nt 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 min
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, about
twelve and three o'clock yesterday morn
ing, nnd notified them that they were
watded, at the same time informed them
that they were under arrest upon a war
rant issued by the authorities at Atlanta.
Preparing themselves as lopidly as pos
sible, they responded to tho order, and
were brought to this city, arriving as
above stated, on tho evening train yes
terday. Many of the gentlemen brought
their servants with them. Fivo of them
arc merchants iu Irwinton, two are school
boys, two arc farmers, and one a physi
cian. Tho following i? the list: W. C. D.
Girlish, II. H. llyman, Elt Peacock nnd
Milton Lind ray i merchants, Irwiuton; R.
G. llyman, merchant and agent of the.
Southern Exprcts Company, and Win.
Dickson and Jcthro Vaulandinghaiu,
Toombsboro'j George Campbell and ChaS.
Peacock are school boys from lrwintcn.
Upon the arrival of the prisoners last
evening thoy wore immediately marched
off to the jail, where they will probably bo
kept until the United States Court con
venes, or until they ? can* have a prelimi
nary examination before a United States
commissioner. " , r
Free Blow in an Omnibus, :v
In Nevada, there used *d be ..current,
the story of an adventure of two of her
nabobs, which may or. may qot.h^ve oc
curred. I, giye it Tor what .it is worth:
Col. Jim had seen somewhat of the
world,;and knew .rnore.or less, of its ways;
jbut. Col; Jack;; was from the- b,ack. settle
ments of the State,jand bad. .led ajifc of
arduous toil, nud had 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 his unsophistication frotn>;misfor
tuue. They ;reacbpd.; Sau .Francisco in
the night, and sailed in the morning:
Arrived in New 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 called a stylish barouche. But
Col. Jack said:
"No, sir? None of yonr ;qhcap-John
turnouts for me. I'm here to have a good
time, nnd money ain't nny object. I
mean to have tho nobbiest rig tha/.'s go
ing. Now . here comes the very tick.
Stt.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, and they got iu. Said. C?l, Jack:
"Ain't it gay, though ? Qh, no,' I
reckon not! Cushions and windows and.
piclurert,'ttll you-can't rest^ What would
the boys say if they could sec us cutting a
swell like this in New York? By George,
I wish they eould see us."
Then he put his head out of tho win
dow and shouted to the driver:
"Say, Johnny, this suits me!?suits
yours truly, you bet, you! I want this
shebang all day. I'm ou it. old man !
Let 'em out! Make 'em go ! We will
make it ali right with you, sonny!"
The driver passed his head through
the strup-hole and tapped for his fare?it
was before the gongs came into common
use. Col. Jack took the hand and shook
it cordially. He said :
"You twag me, old pard! All right be
tween gents. Smell of that, and see how
you like it!"
Aud he put a twenty dollar gold piece
in the driver's hand. 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 sdbndingslnp
on his thigh :
"Ain't it siyle though? Hi-ngcd if I
don't hire this thing every dny for a
week."
The omnibus stopped, and a young
lady got in. Col. Jack stared for a mo
ment, then nudged Col. Jim with his
elbow:
"Oon't say a word," ho whispered.
"Let her ride if she wants to. Gracious,
there's room enough."
The young lady got out her porle
monnnic,ah(] handed her fare to Col. Jack.
' What's this for ?" said he.
"Give 11 to the driver, please."
"Take hack your money, madam. "Wo
can't allow it. You're welcome to ride
here as long as you please, but this sho
bang's chartered, and wc can't let you pay
a cent."
The girl shrunk into a corner, bewil
dered. Au old lady with a basket climb
ed in, and proffered her faro.
"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.
"Come right along, friend.-," sn.id Cd.
Jack; "Don't mind us. This is a freo
blow-out." Then be whispered to Col.
Jim. "New York ain't no sociable place,
I don't reckon?it ain't no name for it!"
