FROM CHICKAMAUGA.
Col. Jim Tillman on Saluting Ne.
gro Offlcers-Re Captures
Our Carolina Boys.

A young man from Spartanburg
county writes home from Chicka-
mauga that there is very bad feel
ing between our Southern white
and those negro soldiers. 1t seems
that the negro officers are very
domineering, insulting, and always
take particular pains to throw
themselves in the way of our South
Carolina boys, as the military rules
require subordinates and privates
to salute their superior officers.
The soldiers from other stales
obeyed, and it is said that one of
those negro officers would walk a
mile to pass Southern company,
to have them lift their hats to,him.
But when our South Carolina
troops reached Chickamauga, they
positively refused to salute any OF
the negro officers, and the result
was that serious trouble threaten
ed. Our South Carolina boys we're
called together, and Col. Alston
made very conservative speech,
in which he told them ahont mill.
tary discipline, and that when they
enlisted they must expect to obey
army regulations. Lieut.-Col. Jim
Tillman was called for and he
made a speech that set the boys
wild with enthusiasm, and made
him the idol of the regiment. Jim
Tillman grew eloquent in his re-
marks. He said: owe are South
Carolinians and white men, and
no earthly power can force our
boys to lift our hats TO one of those
negro officers; and so long as I
hold command in this regiment,
and 7 hear OF one of South Caro-
lina's soldiers saluting a negro
officer, will kick him out of his
company. We have enlisted to
fight for our country, and not to
practice social equality with an
inferior race, which our fathers
held in bondage" Thoy say that
when Jim Tillman concluded,
those Southern soldiers went wild
with enthusiasm, and that even
The Northern and Western white
officers complimented his patriotic
remarks and said he had won the
respect of every Anglo-Saxon SOL
dier in the camp.

BYRON ON SPAIN.

Ye who would more of Spain and
Spaniards know.
Go read whate'er is writ of bloodiest
strife.
Whate'er keen vengeance urged on
foreign foe
Can act is acting there against mans
life.
From flashing scimetar to secret knife,
War moldeth their own weapon to
his need,
So he may guard the fister and the
wife,
So may he make each curst oppres-
sor bleed,
So may such foes deserve the most re-
morseIess deed!
Flows there tear of pity for the dead?
p Look o'er the ravage of the reeking
plain;
Look on the hands with female slaugh-
ter red,
Then to the dogs resign the unburied
slain;
Then to the vuiture let each corse
remain,
Albeit unworthy of the prey birds
NAV,
Let their bleach'd bones and blood's
unbIeached stain
Long mark the battlefield with hideous
awe,
Thus only may our sons conceive the
scenes we saw.
-Childe Harold.

After again enjoying the hospi-
tality of the good people of Reho-

To sit in that vast assembly and
