curiosity, at the dead man on the stretcher. His most intimate friend, Colonel Nesbit, stood nearest, keeping a sort of guard over him, and just as he made up hiit was indeed all over, Mc-Daniel opened his eyes, and then beckoned feebly for Nesbit to come close to him. As he reached his side and bent over him, McDaniel took hold upon the lapel of Nesbit's coat and drew him yet closer down, until their faces well nigh touched, and then, with a great effort and in a voice scarcely audible, McDaniel whispered his name-Nesbit! Nesbit says he confidently expected some last message for his family, or some tender farewell to his friends, when, with extremNesbit says he confidently expected some last message for his family, or some tender farewell to his friends, when, with extreme difficulty, his supposed-to-be-dying friend, pointing with trembling finger, uttered just these words: Nesbit, old fellow! Did you ever see such an ungodly Nesbit, old fellow! Did you ever see such an ungodly pair of ankles as that Dutch woman standing over there on that porch has got? Of course such a man could not be killed and would not die; and it was not a matter

r. Meanwhile Grimes's guns had been silenced by the loss of horses and men, and he was forced to retire, leaving one of his pieces. I immediately ordered my brigade to fall back, and seek cover under the woods in the ravine, and reported to General Armistead what I had done. In this ill-timed advance, my loss was very severe. Part of my brigade, the Fourth Georgia and the Twenty-second Georgia, under Major Wasden, and a part of the Third Georgia, under Captain (acting Lieutenant-Colonel) Nesbit, had advanced on the extreme right so far as to pass over the crest of the ridge, and were lying in a hollow about two hundred yards in advance of the line of woods. These were permitted to remain, as they were comparatively secure from the effects of the enemy's shells. General Armistead directing, I ordered up another battery, (Moorman's, I think,) and got it in position a little under the crest of the hill in the clover field, and opened upon the enemy. The superior metal and number

ticipated. . . . Penal statutes against treasonable and seditious publications are necessary in all communities. We have them for our own protection; if they should include provisions for the protection of our neighbors it would be no additional encroachment upon the liberty of the press. But all such protestations went for nothing: the South had no patience to wait for their translation into censorship, or even into mobs. At Milledgeville, Georgia, in the State Senate, the practical Mr. Nesbit introduced, on the 29th of November, 1831, a resolution offering a reward of—dollars for the apprehension of Mr. Garrison, which finally took the following shape: In Senate, November 30, 1831. Laws of Georgia for 1831, p. 255; Lib. 3.123. Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia, in General Assembly met.

y concluded. The event of that day maddened the army, and both officers and soldiers longed for revenge. An honest countryman from Billerica inquiring for a firelock, bought an old one of a private; but as soon as he had paid the full price, he was seized by half a dozen of a company for having violated an act of parliament against trading with soldiers, and confined during the night in the guard-room. The next day he was labelled on his back, American liberty, or a specimen of democracy, was tarred and feathered, and carted through the principal streets of the town, accompanied by all the drums and fifes of the fortyseventh, playing Yankee Doodle, by a guard of twenty men with fixed bayonets, and by a mob of officers, among whom was Lieutenant Colonel Nesbit himself. See what indignities we suffer, rather than precipitate a crisis, wrote Samuel Adams to Virginia. The soldiers seemed encouraged to provoke the people, that they might have some color for beginning hostilities.

reat Fields, and acting each from his own impulse, placed themselves in ambush a little to the eastward of the village, near the junction of the Bedford road. There they were reinforced by men who were coming in from all around, and at that point the chase of the English began. Among the foremost were the minute men of Reading, led by John Brooks, and accompanied by Foster the minister of Littleton as a volunteer. The company of Billerica, whose inhabitants, in their just indignation at Nesbit and his soldiers, had openly resolved to use a different style from that of petition Chap. XXVIII} 1775.

Fatal accident. --At Philadelphia, on the morning of the 3d inst., the mangled body of Mr. Edmund Garrison, a retired merchant, was found in Minor street, opposite the year of the American Hotel, in which he had been boarding. He had evidently fallen from the roof of the building, as several panes of glass in the windows had been broken in his descent. The body was shockingly mutilated, showing that death had been instantaneous. He was formerly a member of the firm of Barnet, Nesbit and Garrison.

Berryville of Charlotte, N. C.; Thos. Roland, of Stanley county, N. C., and — Nesbit, and wounding fourteen persons, including two soldiers.

She was returning with his corpse, and by this sad accident her father-in-law, was killed and she herself terribly mangled.
