DEAD SOUTH CARoL1NIANs. We
have received communication from
Mrs. Charles j. Williams, dated Co.
lumbus, Ga, August Is, 1867, from
which we extract the following:
send enclosed the roll of honor of
Chickamauga's battle field, in which
you will find South Carolina's list,
which we hope you will give to your
readers, that friends and comrades
may do us the favor to correct mis-
takes, that must of necessity arise
from the faded and worn marks upon
the head-boards, which are fast rotting
down and being trodden under foot.
We are making every exertion to
re-inter them in consecrated ground,
and, under other circumstances, Geor-
glans would have been but too proud
to have done this entire work them
selves, and would scorn the PROPOSE
ton to ask aid of her sister States to
bury their dead who fell within her
borders; but in tho present financial
as we'll as political prostration, we
cannot hope for farther Legislative
appropriation, and as the work will
not brook any longer delay, we are
forced to call on the friends of our
cause, independent of State lines, to
enable us to go on with this work of
love and duty. We are well aware
that no more inauspicious time could
have been selected to raise money
than the present, when our poor
country is SO impoverished; but when
we come in the name of our dead,
asking only for a grave in consecrated
ground, will we ask in vain? Could
woman's hand do this work-could
they bear these skeleton forms from
the battlefield to the ground we have
prepared for their reception, at Ma
rietta-we would have no need of mo-
ney; there would be volunteers enough
in Georgia to do this work of love
without money and without price. {"
But this cannot be; we must have
mems work and labor and teams,
and this must be paid for, and
for this we beg your assistance.
lob South Carolinians fell at Chicka-
mauga alone, and we suppose the
same proportion will be found be-
tween Chickamauga and Atlanta.
Each State has q beautiful section in
our cemetery for its exclusive use
the centre being reserved for the
Unknown. When we have finish
ed our work, it will be turned over to
the care of the State, and under her
special guardianship, it will be for
ever kept sacred and in order.
