THE BARTHoLDI STATUE.

IL I1 IL =
John Greenleaf Whittier in The Independent.
The land, that from the rule of kings,
In freeing us, itself made free,
Our Old World Sister, TO us brings
Her sculptured Dream of Liberty
Unlike the shapes on Egypts sands
Uplifted by the toil-w6rn slave,
on Freed oms soil with freemen's hands
We rear the symbol free hands gave.
France, the beautiful to thee
Once more debt oflove we owe:
In peace beneath thy Fleur de lis,
We hail later Rochambeau!
Rise, stately Symbol holding forth
Thy light and hope to all who sit
In chains and darkness Belt the earth
With watch-fires from thy torch uplit
Reveal the primal mandate still
Which Chaos heard and ceased to be,
Trace on mid-air tn Eternal Will
In signs of fire LET man be free :!
Shine far, shine free, guiding light
To Reasons ways and Virtues aim,
A lightning fash the wretch to smite
Who shields his license with thy name!

TRUBY, JONES Co., lex, uIy 4.
At the solicitation of my friends
to write. to them 1 will write so they
can all hear. Things are dry here
this year; nobody making any
thing farming. Stock Is very
cheap, and is looking very well, con-
sidering the dry weather, and ev-
cry body seems to be in good spir-
its, especially the old Texan. They
think that the drouth will run out
all the grangers, as they call the
farmer. They don't want this coun-
try settled up too fast. 1t is driv-
ing them all out. Most, Of them
have gone now to Mexico and to
the northwest. Some 10000 or
10000 head of cattle. have passed
here during the last month and
some 1900 or 1900 head of horses.
They have lost some of them Cd &C
count Of the dry weather but not
many. This is high country and
as healthy as old Giles if not more
so. l have not heard of case
of consumption rheumatism of
dyspepsia since 1 have been here.
The land lies well and we still have
plenty of water that is very good,
and plenty of fish too if we will
only catch them. The Clear Fork
is beautiful stream. 1t beads
way out in Scurry county, about
200 miles west of here, and winds
through beautiful valley to the
Brasos, a country only to be seen
by some of your countrymen to be
appreciated, especially those in
the hills and rocks, but tell
them that we doG't need them. 4
There is stock enough here to eat
all the grass, and too much too if it
does not rain before long. We still
have some game here, antelope, deer
and turkey, and plenty of jack rab-
bits. Will Sellars ought to be. here
with his hounds.
This country is being fenced up
mighty fast now. The Capitol Com
pany are fencing three million acres
ont on the plain. 1t takes seven
hundred miles of fence They are
putting up houses all over it and |
boring wells and putting up wind |
mills. They have several flowing
wells. You may bet a wind mill
will run here. 1t blows all the /
time and makes these long summer
days very pleasant. As to the quail
lty of stock it is better There than
there. There are not as many po-
MES in Jones county as in Giles
and the horses can stand more here
on grass than yours can on corn.

during crop-time, and attending school
d Turing the winter until the winter of
1S59-60 when he came south and en-
gagged in school teaching in Lauderdale
county Ala. In May 1861 he entered
the Confederate army The company
to which he belonged was sent to Rich
mond, Va, and became company D. of
the 9Th Alabama regiment. lie was
with his regiment and fought the kat
ties of Williamsburg, Seven Pines and
the-seven day battle before Richmond.
His company suffered a heavy loss at
Gaines Mills on Friday, the 9TH OF
June, 1862, and went into the battle of
Frazier's Farm on Monday, the Both,
with only twenty-seven men able Tor
duty. or this number twenty-one were
killed or wounded in that attic, Mr..
Patterson himself being among the
number severely wounded. One ball
passed through his shoulder blade, an
other striking him in the left leg as he
lay wounded upon the ground, lodged
against the knee-cap from whence 1t
was afterwards extracted. He lay till
next day when he was found by some
of his command. As soon as he recov-
cred he reioined his command and was
with his company at the End battle of
Fredericksburg, Salem church and in
the battle of Gettysburg, he, together
with many OF his company, was cap
tured From there he was taken to
Fort Delaware and subsequently to
JohnsOn's Island where he remained a
prisoner till March 18th, 1860, when he
was sent to Richmond for exchange.
While a prisoner on Johnson's Island
he was in forty miles OF his former
home and among other troups acting as
guards were a number of his school
mates and friends. While in prison he
was visited by his father and other
members of the family, and an order
was obtained from the secretary~of war
for his release, on condition that he
would not again go south of the ONO
river until the close of the war. This
he refused to accept. Only those who
have lain in northern prison can
know what manhood and courage 1t
took to act as he did. But he had "a ken
his oath of allegiance to support cause
be believed TO be right and nothing
could entice HIM from the line of duty.
At the close of the wal he returned TO
the land of his choice and love and be-
gan to study law with Gen. (now COVER
nor) O'Neal. In January, 1867, he came
to Tennessee and began the practice OF
law at Lawrenceburg where he remain
ed for two years and then removed to
Savannah where he hiss since resided
and practiced law. He was elected &c
the senate in 1882 as the nominee of the
democratic party in the 23d senatorial
district. He was again nominated and
Was defeated but ran ahead of his tick

The independent candidates Tor

circuit are gentlemen against whom
we have. nsthjng TO say. 1hey
commau 6he respect of tie people.
In refusing to submit to the dem
ocratic convention. however, thry
assume an attitude which nearly
every democrat in this county IS
ready to attack. A few good dem
ocrais will for personal reasons
support the independent candidates
but the mass of the party Will vote
straight tickets. The Waynesboro
convention was well attended. all
the counties were ably represented,a
atrono ticket was nominated, and
il will receive as nearly unanimous
sunuort of the democratic party as
anv ticket we could put in the field.
All the candidates who were de-
feated in the convention say they
were fairly treated and will support
tho nominees. The reduced demo-
cratic majority under the redistrieL-
ino law IA axes it necessary TO vote
the full strength of the party Tor
the nominees. The democrats renl-
ize this fact, and will work hard 70
bring in every voter. Many of the
personal friends of the Independents
will doubtless alter their present
determination to support them,
when they find that their votes viii
be needed to defeat republicans.
Even If the republicans do not pat
candidates in the field they will sup
port the independent candidates for
the purpose of weakening the dem
ocratic organization. The demo-
Gratis of this section are determined
to preserve the organization OF the
party. When q single democrat or
small faction steps in the way OF
the machine somebody will be run
over. They may ditch the train,
but they will not be in condition to
