Public Meeting at P~ocabontas, Tennessee.

We have learned with feelings of deep regret
that certain false and unfounded Umors have been cir.
cuIated in some localities against the loyalty Of this
community TO the South, and that threats had been made
against the railroad, etc, we, therefore, take this public
occasion 70 enter our solemn protest against all such ru-
mors, as false and Observation-Disclosures unkindIy to dis
turb the peace, and produce an unnecessary excitement.
Therefore,
ReSolUed, That we reiterate cur devotion 10 the South
the land of our birth, and home Of our wives, children
and friends, and that we viii practice upon this declara-
ton in defiance Of the rUmors Of agitators to the contrary.
Res0lDed, That we believe the devotion Of cur people
TO the Memphis and Charleston railroad affords the best
guarantee Of protection that can be thrown around its
structure in this vicinity.
Resolred, That all we ask Of an impartial community,
is, that we may De judged by OdF actions, as well past az
future, and not by the unGind and unfounded rumors OF
stay-athome agitators, as we believe that we now have
in the service a volunteer force perhaps as large as any
other Locality In proportion 10 population and we trust
that we shall be quite as ready to respond TO a farther
call as those who stay at home to question our loyalty.
Rssolged, That the Memphis APPEAL be requested to
publish III s preamble and resolutions.

It is with pain we record the death of Colonel
Lubbock, of the Texas Rangers, who died at the
residence Of Mrs. Felicia G. Porter, in this CITY.
at 5 o'clock yesterday morning. It was only the
day before his death he Fvas elected colonel Of
the rangers, TO fiji the place Of the lamented
Terry, the election taking place at Bowling
Green. Col. Lubbock was formerly lieutenant
colonel Of the regiment. He had been sick for
nearly three months, almost two OF which he
was an inmate of Mrs. Porter's house. where
every attention possible was shown him. and
where ne was as well nursed as if he had been
at home. His physicians, too, did all that was
possible for human skill to perform.
Eleven hours before his death, the eolonePs
wife arrived, from her far distant home in Harris
county, Texas, accompanied by his brother,
Henry Lubbock. His son had also arrived from
his school in Alabama, and his nephew, Theo-
doTe Lubbock, Of the rangers, had preceded
them two or three days from Bowling Green.
All Of them were around the bedside of the dy-
ing patriot, when he met the last enemy Of man
upon earth. And with what Joy ad he embrace
the wife ofhis bosom the partner Of his younger
and happier days, God grant the feeble and
delicate widow may be enabled to endure the
hafdships Of the arduOus journey homeward-

APPEAL JOB OFFICE.



This worthy officer is one among the manv
noble spirits, who left the ignoble Tabble who
follow Abraham, and joined the Confederate
army. During his continuance in the United
States service he frequently distinguished him
self in the skirmishes with the Indians on the
western plains, At the ever memorable battle OF
" Oak Hills Mcintosh was the ruling spirit be-
yOndsall doabt. Although a subordinate in
command, the impress of his mind and courage
was sensiblyf eltby the army engaged. He was
everywhere in the hOttestof the fight, frequently
exposed to the CALLING fire of the very men who
formerly were glad to obey him. He headed
the regiment from Louisiana, himself, and lead it
TO glorious victory. In that engagement the
colnel received a slight wound from a grape
shot
When the troops went into winter-auar-
ters, aud Gen McCulioch departed nom Rich
mona, Col. Mcintosh was, to the delight of all,
left in eommaHd. But he was not long to enjoy
this comparative ease. The threatening attitude
Of affairs in the Indian country called him again
to take the field. Shortly after his departure, in
command Of the mounted troops, the joyful in
telligence reached US that he had been appointed
bTigadier-general. This revived the dropping
spirits of the patriots Of the West. They felt
now, indeed, they had a general. The Indian
expedition was bis first attempt at generalship.
No one doubted his capacity or success.
A few days since, adviees reached us to the
effect that our new generalh had gained a glorious
victory, adding fresh lauTeis to his already loaded
brow. He met the enemy and completely routed
them, they leaving two hundred dead on the
heldi also some one hundred prisoners. Our
forces also captured all their wagons, baggage,
etc. This victory, in its effects upon the fortune
of our western country is Of the greatest impOr-
lance. In all probability it may be a final blow
to Ap~othleyhOlOs iniguitOus course. The Indi-
ans, seeing the superiority of the whites over
this dangerous Indian, will be strongly indu-
enced in their future course. Doubtless many
will join Cooper, and assist in putting down this
rebellion. At all events, let the effect be great
or small, all honor and praise is due to our gal
liant general, James Mcintosh. May he long
to command US and adorn our noble cause.

swEETFEARTs AND THE WAR.

OH dear it's shameful, / d declare
To make the men all go,
And leave so many sweethearts heIei
Without a single beau
We like 10 see them brave, tis true
And would not urge them stay
BIT what are we poor girls to 40
When they are all away
We told them we could spare them there,
Before they had to go,
I'M bless their hearts, we wernt aware
That we should miss them 80.
Ne miss them all In many ways
But truth win ever ont,
The greatest thing me miss them tor'
Is seeing us about.
On Sunday when we 60 10 church.
We look in vain for some
To meet us, smiling on the porch,
And seek TO see US home.
And then we can't enjoy a walk
Since ali the beaux have gone,
For what's the good TO use plain talk
If we must tTudge sione
But what's the use of talking thus,
Wen try to be content
And if they cannot come TO us,
A message may be sent
And that's one comfort any way,
For though we are apart,
There is no reason why we may
Not open heart TO heart.
We trust il may soon come
To q final testf
We want TO see our Southern homes
Secured in peaceful rest.
But If the blood Of those we love,
In freedoms cause must flow,
With fervent trust in God above,
We hid them onward 20.
And we win watch them as they go,
II cheer them on their way,
Our arms shall be their resting place,
when wOunded sore they lay.
Oh ST the som Of Southern soil,
For freedoms cause must die,
Her daughters ask no dearer boon,
Than by their side 10 lie.

A FRIEND ON THE BLOCK-These are bloody
times, and it is our fate to record that an esteemed friend
OF ours has come to the block-not, however, for the pur-
pose Of having his head taken of, but of having his
pockets filed. Charles Stone, Esq, who has been the
business conductor, editor and correspondent OF the AP-
PEAL, has beeome associsted with J. v. Gilbe-t, Esq, on
Second street corner of Madison, in the auction business.
Nj. Stone, as a business man, has few equals in the city
strictly honorable, always correct, prompt and decided,
aud thoroughly acquainted with the customs and regq-
iatlons of commerce, he win give entire satisfaction to all
who intrust business in his hands. We speak what we
know from our connection with him. As a citizen and a
gentleman, our comnendarionl are unnecessary. Mr..
Stone is widely known. and all who know him recognize
his high personal qualities, his mistaken integrity, and
his m~blemished honor. We wish him, from our very
hearts an uninterrupted course Of prosperity. His par.
ner, Mr.. Gilbert is an active aud enterprisng gentleman,
and the new firm is made up Of TOO good materials to fail
of sue. ess.

pose to continue to nurse the sick and wounded, and to
supply them with such eomfors-beyond What the gov
eminent allows in the way of diet-servantsa attendance
and clothing, as the means placed in their hands will en-
able them to command. In yacaing the r~Oms 50 long
occupied by them, they return thanks to Messrs. Norton
& Cook for the noble liberality, which so long furnished
a home to their patients, to the gas company for a con
slant supply of gas, to the Ice company for liberal daily
donations of ice, to the butchers for supplies Of meat, and
to the public generally for a constant and generous conf
denee and support, which they fond deem has not been
misplaced, and which they beg may still be continued to
them in their efforts to cheer and comfort the sick and
wounded soldier. In this connection they return thanks
for $50 from the young ladies of Bolivar, Tennessee, by
the hands of Miss L. Wood for $3.50 from K. J. h. L.

From the Richmond Dispatch, 6thl
The city was full of rumors yesterday relsting
to the incursions Of the enemy in Western Viz
GINA; but we could gather nothing from official
sources in confirmation Of the reports. Our ad-
vices from Allegheny mountain are as late as
January LIST, at which time all WIS quiet in that
neighborhOOd. We learn that Col johnson says
be can hold his position, but apprehends some
danger that his supplies may be cut off by the
enemy getting In las FssF.
The reports from the Peninsula INFORM US that
the eremy has been threatening a demonstration
IN that direction that our lower pick sts have
been driven in, and that a large body of Federals
advanced upon Bethel, burning such. property
Is remained there. There is doubtless some
reason 10 believe that an attack upon Gen. Ma
gruder's lines is IL contemplation.
A dispatch has been reeel Fed from Gen. Lee,
stating that the enemy has left the mainland and
gone back to Port Royal Island. The Yankee
demonstration upon our coast thus far amounts
to nothjng, comparatively, while vessels from
foreign potts continue to elnde the blockade and
arrive in safety.

party to whom the arrest was owing. This sum-and

and arrest of the man M~urrel-wRs all paid by the
policemen of the city. Most Of our police are men who
have families, and the contributions they have made to
subserye the ends of justice, and to place the murderer
Of a respected fellow officer within the grasp Of the law,
is a heavy tax upon them. Ought not the tity Council,
with the view of protecting the officers in it's employ, to
make provision for paying the expenses incurred in this

BARBAROUs OUTRAGE.-Yesterday morning
a boy, named John McEncrow, who carries papers and
works about the APPEAL office, and who is a quiet, in
d~ustriOus, wellbehaved little fellow, went on board the
~gunboats, building at Fort Pickering, with papers for
sale. One of the hands said he would give him three
cents for a paper, which the boy, of course, declined to
take. As he was descending the gangway plank, the
fellow drew it from under him, throwing him down, then
lei the heavy plank fall upon him. NeEnerow's leg was
broken at the upper part of the thigh. A gentleman
riding by kindly took him home, and Or. Taylor set the
limb We regret to state that the perperator of this act
OF shameless cruelty was not arrested.
