INDIGNANT CoNrEpERATEs.,

Some OF tha Confederate veterans OF
Georgia have recently passed resolutions
condemning what they allege to be an
effort on the part Of certain members
Of the State Legislature TO make II ap-
pear that the Confederate pcnsionrs are
paupers, or INDECENT benedciarics OF The
States bounty They further declare
that the Southern soldiers fought for
principle without the hope OF reward,
ready at all times 20 lay down their
lives for the cause, and now that the
war IS over they will starve, but viii
never consent 10 humiliation.
There you have the true Southern
spirit. 1t was that sort OF stun that
made the Southern Confederate the
greatest soldier that the world ever
knew. 1t was that which differentiated
the Southern soldier from that class Of
soldiers at the North, who fought Tor
their pay. Ever since the war ended
these professional veterans at the North
have been exercising themselves day and
night 10 make their pensions as great
as possible, and they have played iron
the sentiment and iiberality Of the Anne
rican public to their gain
in The Southern States we have pro-
vided as we were able for those Of our
veterans who were incapacitated for
work. but there has been 10 disgracefm
scramble for pensions. and our veterans
have demanded nothing as a reward for
their services. Some of the politicians, in
an effort to promote their own welfare,
have. by buncombe bills and speeches
in legislative halls, seemingly put the
Confederate veterans IN that attitude,
but all such bills and all such speeches
are Bbenous. The veterans are not beg
CARS. When they are worn out and are
no longer able to take care Of them
selves, they are grateful for any atten-
ton that may be shown them, but all
such fayors must be voluntary. No old
Confederate will ever pass around the
hat for himself.

Fighting the Mohmunds.

Private Lever of the Bluffs tells two
characteristics of the fight in which be
was hit when General Jeffery, with
the mountain battery and escort, was
hemmed in village all night by thou
sands OF Mohmunds. The wounded were
lying under wall exposed to torrents
of rain and to showers of stones which
the enemy hurled down at them from
houses near. 1t seemed impossible that
sny relieving force could come to their
aid before daybreak or that the mere
handful of Bluffs could hold out much
longer. Their ammunition was running
short. Then Lever heard one wounded
officer ask another, "How many shots
have you got in your revolver?' "Only
two." "Ihen don't waste them, old
chap; keep one for me, the other for
yourself"
When ammunition was so nearly ex-
hausted that no orders were given to
fire until the enemy could be distinctly
seen, sudden rattle Of irregular fire
was heard on one side of the village
followed by savage yells but no other
sound. The few Bluffs holding post in
that direction stood with rifles leveled
ready to fire volleys directly rush was
attempted The commotion came near
er, and just as the noncommissioned Of
ficer in charge of that post had the
command to present" on his lips the
flame from native gun flashed on
bristling steel. British bayonets had
been doing their grim work there in the
darkness so silently that nobody thought
friends were so near. The relief had
come. The enemy gave way, and min
ute later Major Worlledge, with his
companies Of Sikhs and guides, entered

Whereas, The abLorrent conditions
which have existed for more than three
years in the Island of Cuba, so near our
