the next night, and when evening came on
we prepared for another hard nights travel by
washing the ashes aud dirt off our faces and
partakiug of small portion of our provisions.
That night we crossed Poweli's Mountain and
Wild Cat Valley and got on to Waillng's Ridge
We continued to travel on the top OF
the ridge for about two miles, and then
turned off toward Powcl's Valley, and soon
reached the cleared land next to the valley.
The night was extremely dark. and fine
mist WAS falling which very much resembled
snow. The ground was quite soft, which made
it very disagreeable and tiresome to travel in
the open fields. At length we reached the
open valley. We made as little noise as posi-.
bic, and everything seemed to be still and
quietly resting in the dark and dismal nights
embrace. / think that the dogs were even
wrapped in the arms of morpheus, for we did
not hear one bark as we approached Powells

Urging Emigration to Africa.

The colored folks of Georgia are desirous OF
going to Africa. The movement seems 10 have
been started by ministers OF the gospel, and re-
sponsbe negro preachers are advising their
people from the pulpis to emigrase to Africa.
The cause of this new and more serious African
craze is due to combination of circumstances.
First an alleged discrimination against ne
proes on the railroads in Georgia stirred up a
feeling among the colored race. Then an order
issued by the Consolidated Street-car Com
pany assigning seats to colored people, added
fuel to the fire.
The doctrine of emigration is being preached
from many of the negro pulpits in Atlanta. In
Bethel Church, on Wheat street, the negroes
were advised by the preacher i'll the pulpit to
"leaye this Georgia an / go to their own coun-
try. Africa, where they would have equal
rights and help govern" Among other pros
poets this pulpit orator held out to his sable
congregation was "Street-cars of their own.
Other negro preachers arc holding out emigra-
tion to Africa as the only future salvation Tin
a worldly sensel of the American negro race.

that be had lost the savings of over 4 year in

of the frst old veterans who got The grand

he had not changed his politics in the least IN
NIL these years. and also because he a
marked man on account of his Repub icaujsm.
What he would do after tie 18th Of March,

stances. Having served the Government since
1861 in the capacity of a private in one OF the
early Ohio regiments where he served until so

workers.
Hundreds of such cases are developing in
Washington every day now. and this Congress
ought to enact law which would keep these
disabled old soldiers. who know nothing out
side of the Governments work, but who are
faithful and efficient tolers in the work in
which their whole lives have been spent. The
individual in question has nothing upon which
to live but snail pension. He was a good
machinist when he enlisted, but the woundng
of his right hand and arm prevented him from
working at his trade. His pension is not
enough to keep himself alone, saying nothing
about his family. Cases of this kind. and there
will be many of them, should receive the at
tention OF our lawmakers at this coming session
Of Congress. They have " Soldiers Roll y in

it seems;
No picket hurt. or required, Potomacs beautiful

And to see you marching the Avenue, under the
flag of the free,
With everything quiet and peaceful just as 1t
ought to be;
To think OF what we have gone through, and look

To meet here just used to. no slave, free

L tell you. Uncle Sam, intend to stay as long as

To gaze on the men that fought. when you stood
with shaky knees
The boys that guarded the bridges, and all around
on your hills,
Who played the drum and busle. and fired yo-r
Yankee coffee mills.
And slept in the mud without shelter and never
saw biscuit or buns
To see all these as used to, and not obliged 10
answer the drums.
And thinking how you treat u.s. can scarcely sleep
at night;
The politicians shun us. except when in a fight;

For I've only been here few days. and getting

Posey County poles
Twenty seven years ago! Does it seem so long TO
you?
And yet the boys in blue getting gray, the gray
boys getting blue.
With bands of music and strange sights TO see,
The boys quiet and peaceful and never get on
spree;
But give a chance, dear Uncle, to gaze your

For our time is short; we soon will be called to
give up even soul.
