Speaking of the Georgia election
the Columbus Times thus bears hon.
orable testimony to the gallant old
line Wings of the Empire State Of
the South:
We thank God, that most of the
great and patriotic leaders of the old
Wing party appreciated the high and
noble action of the Democracy, and
under the lead of the incompatible
Stephens, took position at the head
of the Democratic column, and
brought into line of battle many Of
the noblest and best of the rank and
file Of the gallant party which they
formerly led to battle and often to
victory. Without their aid the re-
suit might and probably would have
been widely different. All honor
then to A. III. Stephens and his gal
liant friends. They bore the brunt of
battle, and are worthy of the victor
reward in political war-the love,
admiration and gratitude of the peo-
pie whose rights they have maintained.
The victory achieved by their aid is
not exclusively a Democratic triumph.
A part of the glory belongs to the
Wing party. Indeed, the glory Of
the achievement belongs to no partie-
ular party; it is the common heritage
of all parties at the South : it is the
triumph of the Southern people over
one of the North.

"A great sensation has been caused

fought in the ranks Of the army,
saved the life of a sergeant and a

prisoners. A ball struck his foot,
