The Lone Sentry. -
by james b. KAN PA i,i,.
'Twasin the dying of the day,
The darkness grevr so still:
Tho drowsy pipe of evening birds
Was hushed upon the hill;
Athwart the shndows of tho vale
Slumbered the men of might,
And one lone sentry paced his rounds,
To watch the camp ihhi fnght.- *
A grayt and solemn man was he,
With deep and somber brow ;
The dreadful eyes seemed hoaiding up
Some unaccomplished vow.
The wistful glnnce peered o'er the plains
Ronenth the start y light?
And with the murmured name of Ood,
lie watched the camp that night.
The future opened unto him
Itsgraud and awful scroll;
Maiiosstts nnd the A alley march
Came heaving o'er Iiis soul?
Richmond and .Sharpsburg thundered bv
With the tremendous tight
Which gave/mm to the angel hunt
Who watched the camp that night.
We ptotirh for him who died for us,
With one resistless moan ;
While up the Valley of the Lord
lie marches to the Throne!
He kept the fnithof nun und saints
Sublime and pine and bright?
lie sleep.*?and nil is well with him,
Who watched the camp that night.
Brothers! the Midnight of the Cause
Is shrouded in (air fate;
The demon t iollis pollute our balls
With lire and lust and hate;
lie strong?Ik-valiant?be assured
Strike home for Heaven and ltight!
The soul of Jackson ."talks abroad,
And guards tlu< cant)) to-night!

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. "New York ain't no sociable place,
