SERGEANT BATES.

From the Cairo (In.) Democrat

From the Cairo (In.) Democrat.
Sergt. Gilbert II. Bates, of Edgeworth,
Wis, arrived in our city yesterday. en- route
for Vicksburg, where he intends to start up
on a novel journeny.
The sergeant was a soldier of the Union
army; was one of the first to enter the SER
vice and was one of the last to leave it. A
democrat from principle, he remained true
to the party during all the conflict and re-
tarned to his home and advocate of liberali-
ty IN the treatment of the unfortunate people
of the south. As matter of course, he be-
came target at which all the radicals in his
neighborhood aimed their abuse. He was
villihed and prosecuted by men who had
talked war but never shouldered musket.
In controversy with party of radicals,
who maintained that the southern people
were outlaws, who did not hesitate to take
the life of any man, white or black, suspec-
ted of unionism, the sergeant denounced the
assertion as falsehood, and declared that
he, an ex-soldier of the Union army, could
march through the south with the Union flag
exposed, without cent in his pocket, and
not only escape bodily harm but receive hos
pitable treatment from the southern people
upon whom ignorant radicalism was heap
ing so much unmerited abuse. purse
heavy radical offered to bet certain am
cunt that he would be killed if he undertook
the journey, and in the event of the SER
geants death agreed to pay the sum TO the
"fool-hardy young mans family The ban
ter was accepted by the sergeant, and he is
now en- route for Vicksburg to begin the
Journey. He will travel from Nicksburg to
jackson thence to Montgomery, Ala ;
thence to MilledgevilIs, Ga; thence to col
umbia, s. c.; thence to Richmond and
thence to Washington, at which place he is to
arrive on or before the Fourth of July next
The sergeant is poor man, described as
devoid of conceit, and perfectly honorable
in his conduct Letters have been received
by him form prominent gentlemen living in
the cities on his march, inviting him to he
their guest when he passes through, and ten
dering him a guard OF honor. At Nicks
burg much interest is felt in the exploit, and
Sergt Bates will be the recipient of favOrs
there at the hands of ladies and others. Tie
southern papers, in noticing the matter, as
sert that it will do more to develop the love
for the stars and stripes, which now lies dor
mant in the hearts of the people, than would
an army of men or peace conference, and
they scorn the idea of being defenceleSs, the
flag he carries being better protection thar
a regiment Of men would be.
