verified her hero sen into deserter, convicted and
condemned to be shot.
As relief to this dismal record let me cite one
more case, which, though melancholy enough, yet
presents one noble and consolng fact. A young
man from Stanly county, arrested, tried and con-
victed on the same charge, and condemned to be
shot, had on his person when arrested, a letter
from his father in which, after deporing the spirit
of desertioa reported to be prevailing in the reg
ment to which his son belonged, the noble old man
said; eff the whole army leaves, | wish my to
be the last to desert his colors" In this case
the court have forwarded an earnest appeal for
mercy to the President and asks that for the sake
of such father the life of his SOP may be spared
hope this case may present al additional mo-
tive to parents and friends to write no letters to
the army, except those of encouragement and SYM
patty; an earnest appeal to stand true to their,
glorious cause of liberty and Independence.
beg that yon will publish the facts I have thus
given you, and call the attention of our people in
suitable remarks, and also ask the other papers of
the State to pursue a like course.
