death had saved me this modification Major
SAfcK of the same regiment, then handed
me his sword. The Major was a neat, handsome
young man, with light hair, and q complexion as
fair as q girl. He was exceedingly youthful to
hold a MAJORS commission. He said, as he handed
me his sword, s Surrender this sword to you, sir
as an evidence Of my submission to your superior
power, but do 50 with deep modification. I
would rather have died in battle.n Then two cap

The RIGHT SP1RIT.-The Columbus (Ga.) Sun
says: !" We have met and conversed recently
with number Of planters-heretofore large pro-
.ducers Of cotton-who, we are pleased to state,
seem imbuedt with the right spirit. All with whom
we have conyersed express the determination to
plant grain, pea and potato crops this year, wtra
view of producing provisions for the support ofthe
Confederate army. They express themselves de-
termined to inaugurate q new systemof farming,
and no longer be heRers Of wood and drawers of
water for the West and North, even should the
war come to anearly conclusion. y They intend to-
plant only cotton enough this year for family con-
sumption, having come TO the very sensible con-
iclnsion that the stock of cotton on hand now Is
ample for the supply of domestic manufactures
during the war, let it be long or short.'' &
