The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1868-07-03

Col, II. =. Walker was at that time COM
mRnder of the Sd Tennessee. He was tall,
straight as an Indian wore very long,
beautiful whiskers; was a clsss-mate of
General Buckner at West Point, and seemed
"born to command" He was an excellent
physician. cheerful, genial companion, an
exceedingly kind-hear.ed man, one who
had the love of all, not only in his regi-
ment, but in the entire brigade. He was
as brave as he was kind he led his men to
battle. The boys were wont to call him
"Old Ballie," as he was bald. There are
many still living who remember that at the
battle Of Chickamaugs. when the fight had
grown hot, when charge after charge had
been made, and line after liEs had been dec
imated by shot and shell, when the tide
seemed turning in favor of the foe, and our
lines were giving away, that the gallant
Walker, seeing his own line breaking, ran
out in front Of his men, took off his hat,
laid his hand on his bald head, and shout
ed: "BOys, are you going to leave 'Old
Ballis' ?" The effect was electrical every

not wish to disparags other officers { for he
loves them ell, but he must say that Colo
nel Walker Was the most popular and sue
oessful officer in Browns brigade, and he
thinks the gallant Brown will bear HIM out
in this. But although Col. Walker was 30
popular and so brave, be was wicked, very
profans, cared but little about preaching or
his bible. The writer served as 3 private
in his company, when he Was captain.
Thirteen months after joining the army,
he (Ihs Writsr) found himself chaplain,
having been appointed, without his knoWl-
edge. by his old captain, who Was then
colonel Of the regiment. Although = wick
ed man, he Wss the chaplain's Warmsst
friend, and never intsrfsred with divine
service. General Brown says he Was &C.
customed at headquarters to swear that be

serious, asked me to procure him Bible,
which from that time he never failed tc
read at night. He joined "Fhs Christian
Association" was heard to swear no more
He now interested himself in his men, gave
me money to buy testaments, and began to
talk to me On the subject of religion. This
campaign soon began and after each battle

A letter from California con-
tains the following queer story :
"The large estate of Senator
Broderick, who was killed in a
duel, was disposed Of under a will
which was proven to be a forgery
concocted after his death, in New
York, 'and SO pronounced by one
of our district Judges, before
whom the case was tried. The
difficulty in the matter was that
the forgery was not proven until
the will had been duly admitted
to probate by the County Court,
and the District Court decided
that the admission Of the will to
probate was a fnality and after
that no account could be taken to
set it aside as fraudulent. As ]
said, under this decision, the whole
estate, now worth millions of dol.
lars, was held, and the present
holders have clear title through a
will well known to be a forgery
/ much doubt if such another case
can be found ON the record of the
Courts of any country outside of

Vs. After the pertinacious
adherence, for SO many years, to
the absurd idea of prohibition in
the matter of liquor laws, Massa-
chusetts has concluded to go back
to the license system. She has
discovered by practical experience
what every sensible man knew be-
fore-viz: that you cannot make
men sober by 'act of parliament"
She has discovered what common
sense has ever maintained. e.,
that sumptuary laws always In
crease the evil they propose to cut
of-that men who are forbidden
to do anything will always be
tempted to do it, although they
may never before have had an in.
elination in that direction. A just
and judieious license system is the
only one to be relied upon on the
liquor question. That robs drink.

however initiated, be carried on
