| Charles Manly.-W Wanted to fight just as
Sherman was entering Raleigh. Can not APP
preciate the situation. Never will. Too old
Prime rebel
IT. ". Husted.-A regular sucker. Suck
ed five dollars a day from the State for
long time, in auditing rebel accounts that
will never be paid A rusty rebel. Thinks
the whole world malicious joke. Is one
| himself Would smoke another mans cigar
with much complacency over the federal ti;ig
trampled and the Union rent in a thousand
fragments. 6 When the wicked rule the ma

| JPN Russ.-C Curses his Maker. Curses
the Saviour that redeemed him. Curses the
government as a plunderer and robber.-
Wants pay for his negroes" Would like
to have war of races, with some safe place
to be in to watch it. A most profane, foul
mouthed rebel. Thinks every body as bad
! as himself One of Mr.. Pell's favorites.
j. c. Marcom.-A very little rebel Little,
but loud. Hates the /" yankees and niggers. !"
Got no better sense. Wants his rights
Fought for them as Quartermaster Sergeant
in the shade at Camp Holmes Wouldn't
take $4,000 for his experience as soldier.
| Commonly known as bob-tail."
| j. FL. Kirkhama-Oh, Jacob!
Thee. IT. HUI" Hesper, and other po-
ems" Good friend to Mr. Pell. Told him
he could not go for him for Governor, but
would for Sheriff Mr. Pel replied he would
have no pleasure in being Sheriff since
whipping has been abolished. Bent on
Governor. "Hesper' to be Poet Laureate
and Private Secretary.
w IT. Jones-Sudden call. No time to
think, or hear from Gov Graham. Signed
at a venture Devoted to the "lost cause''
and the National Intelligencer." Thinks
there will be no proper or agreeable hereaf-
ter without some such journal
p F. Pescud.-A pious Apothecary A
good Samaritan. Has no politics. Never
had any. But always on the rebel side, the
dear good man. AS meek as Moses, as faith
full Ito the aristocracy,) as Abraham, as redo
lent of goodness as the skirts of Aaron with
the sacred oil. Thinks nobody will be hurt
if the government should not be reconstruc-
ted. Was anxious to have Mr.. Davis Saint
ed man, SO cast his cannon balls that they
would kill without hurting. Wants his
rights, but would not hurt any body for the
world. Let US all pray.
L. W. Peek.-Noted rebel on small scale
Fears NEGRO equality" Voted without
taking the amnesty oath, or asking for his
pardon from Mr. johnson. Thinks the Uni
ted States government an unmitigated des-
potism. Would like to see some one resist
it, but declines to Is Ike the risk himself
Wanted to fight frequently during the REBEL
ion. Had to be held. Broke loose repeated
ly, and excited the liveliest alarm by his pre-
parations for departure. Changed his mind.
Thought it useless. Felt sure that "our
brave boys" would whip the "Goths and
Gorillas." Became absolutely ungovernable
as Sherman approached Raleigh. Started
to fight. Reflected, and came back to wait
till he could get the enemy in good place
away from his gunboats." Started again
under a heavy sweat Of courage. Got to
Rocky Branch. Heard Kilpatrick's bugles.
Returned in good order. Got home. Got in a
big chest, gimlet in hand, bored holes for
air, and staid there as long as he pleased
his great Confederacy" dwindled to these
poor proportions. As soon as he heard
there would be no hangings, came out
Submissive for time, but got saucy as the
troops withdrew. Wants his rights. In
tends to have them, and if necessary to Sc
cure them will repeat his campaign to Rocky
Branch
And so we might proceed to the end of
the chapter. The proposed meeting will no
doubt be rich one. Let no one disturb it.
Let it meet, and sit, and sizzle, and sul,side.
The world will spin round as usual. No
body will be hurt. The Union will be re-
and these people will be saved
from themselves. In no other way can th ey
be saved, and if they do not see it now they
will hereafter.
