Burial of GEN. Joel A. Battle.

nuEIbA Oh OCtls tOSA -. Il4sltACs
Yesterday the remains of Gen. Joel a.
Battle were inferred at his old residence in
the sixth district with Masonic honcrs, and
also with the rites OF the knights Of Pythias,
to both Of which orders he was an esteemed
brother. Ten Knights Of Pythias, headed
by II. L. Claiborne, Venerable Patriarch
of Myrtle Lodge No. 8, of which the de-
ceased was member, assisted by Knights
Templar, engaged in the funeral obsequies
which, solemn and impressive in character,
were BETTING the occasion, sad and sorrow
full to all. The funeral pageant left the
city early in the morning for the old family
burial grounds, where, in addition to the
long train of mourning friends following the
hssrse, assembled very large number Of
citizens from other sections, besides many
members of the gallant 20Jh Tennessee
regiment. The religious exercises we're
conducted by the Rev. DR.. SaWrie, and by
twelve O'Clock the earth had closed over
all that was mortal of the chivalrous, the
true, the good and the great Joel. A. Bat
tie. Few eyes that had once seen in man
hoods bright life the now cold and pulse
less form were unmoist as for the last time
on earth that gazed on that face, The soldier
who had followed the chief,ain in the
death-robed battle and seen him move a
fearless spirit like the white plume Of
Murat even in the foremost van; the
widow whose heart had been
made to rejoice by his charity, and the lone
orphan, whose tears had in the dark hour
of poverty been wiped away by bis cheerful
sympathy, his true kindness, met there on
the brink of the grave to show in some
manner their deep and lasting admiration
and gratitude for him whose heart is now
cold as the pulseless earth-clod. Among all
throughout our land comes the wall of sor-
row, and the stricken hearts of many attest
sublimely, silently beautiful, the moral
worth of the generous dead, whose memory
will be cherished so long as gratitude
warns to life the sentiments of a noble hu
manity. Sleep, brave soldier, in rest. Sleep
calmly in thy too early grave, and maya,
be ours to be as you were on this earth, tie
type of true man, whose heart knew On2y
good, whose soul felt only the true, and
whose life was that of the beautiful. E

"To be weak is miserable"
Never was truer sentence written than
thjs-supposed to be wrung from the Arch
fiend in his impotence and agony. Every
victim Of nervous debility, or Of that de-
pressing llnguor which is one Of the &C
Compartments ofdyspepsia and biliousness,
can testify to the misery Of mind and body
which they involve. The motive power Of
the system is partially paralyzed; the mind
is haunted by anxiety and fear; and the
sufferer is as incapable of applying himself
energetically to any kind of business as if
he were under the benumbing influence of
catalepsy. This terrible mental and physi-
cal condition need not, however, be en-
dured for forty eight hours by any human
being. Plantation Bitters is an absolute
specific for all the torments which de-
ranged stomach, a disordered liver, and
shattered nerves superinduce.

The following delegates were named for

On motion, Capt. William Rule, of the

represet our county in the Convention, in
the event none of the delegates appointed
should attend.
The resolutions introduced by Mr.. Pat
ton were appropriate, and might serve as a
model for some county conventions.
After endorsing the National Adminis-
tration, re-affirming time-honored ROpub-

lutions followed, and will be endorsed
everywhere:
That the evidence of partisan envy, mall

GREENEvILLE, April 3, 1872.
EDITORS CHRONICLE; Our citizens fond
ly hoped that the death of the robber and
murderer, Simpson, with the arrest of
others as his accomplices, would put stop
to the stealing from which they have suf-
fered SO much for the last few months.
Such hopes, however, were delusiYe. A
few nights since, some sacks and a lot of
corn were taken from the crib of Col. NJ
S. Temple; and in a short time thereafter,
two guns, some cotton yarn, and five dol
lars in gold, were taken from the house of
Mrs. Sarah Farnes. She saw and recog-
niZed the things, but such is the terror
with which they have inspired the COM
munity, all were afraid to prosecute
Again, few nights since, the premises of
Wm. ATmitage were robbed and, among
other thing, some fifteen pieces of bacon
were carried off. SuspisCiOn attached to
one house in the neighborhOod, and Onlast
night our efficient officers, including Meem
and Dobson, who did the matter so
nobIy for Simpson, made defcent upo it
and captured the thieves. John Reynolds
is brother of the Reynolds who was
sent to the penitentiaTy about year ago
for the murder of - Collins, DObsOn
Jones and Sam Jones. The mother of the
Jones' boys grew very communicative and
directed the party to the woods where they
found lot of the bacon buried. The hole,
she says, they prepared some days before
the bacon was stolen. Some of the party
went in pursuit of boy named SmiItyer,
whom they captured, and who pointed out
another lot of stolen articles they had
secreted. Being but boy, and the State
wishing to use him as a witness, he was
released and the others committed to iail
to await the action of the Grand Jury.
