complices in these deeds of darkness, let thorn

Mb. Edito*:—In your issu# of this day
there ia a communication over the signatnre of
“Borrow," in regard to the Amg Sptin cose,
which stems to be mainly designed as a denial
of atatemonts, in your previous number, by
oeveeal citixens of this place, which you have
emphatically endorsed, ami a pious criticism
on the temper of the Pastor of ths Darlington
Methodist Church. Now if your little men of
the pen would only have the courage to come
wat from behind the tree, and show himself in
WR hia manly proportions, I might make him
sag best bow, for being so spoeial in his atten-
sioas to the unprotected “parson-” Isn’t he
guilty of bnshwhaeking to all intents and pur-
pooes ? the first ease that has come to my no-
liee ia South CnrsBna, since the close of the
war, excepting the author of the Harper ro
mance. N# wonder that his shot hsve scat
tered so that nobody is ihurt; for I suppose
ihnt it is right hard for a man from the wrong
tsidc of a tree, to do much execution without
ocxposing his own precious self, and especially
wrbea his nerves are quivering with apprehen-
uAea. He may have been in the front rank of
many a hard fought battle for ought’ I know,
dmt an abllged to class him with the /aint
/Acorfet. And as it is hard to hit a little man
JtAMcSnoe, ( will aot return his firs; but
vrith.ywwr permission. Mr. Editor, just tvig

Jiist »W for this dine. 1 doubt whether his
another gwre him as much as might .have been
Hiest.
. 1 should not notice this anonymous scribbler,
Mart .for the fact, that I am and have been only
mnutemo that the public at a distance shall
Jui'jw tilt ranple naked tenth ia the matter.—
Will yew OBow me to gaeu why there is such
nensitber anxiety that the account in the Week-
tip shall be believed to be Iroe* frerausc it
would, be a clcvurxonlribulioa to the capital
mtoek of the Mikals, or hatere of the Southern
lyimple. ffott ring the whole matter to an issue,
in a shout way,.! demand that “Eurnom,” and
ube author of <tJce article in Harper't Weekly
•shall give y«a their own propernurnes, wnd the
■names of all 'tcititous and Confederate aol-
Mliers,” wko btwe with iniUiccaf .rethought lied
sipaiaet asir ewsytesple, that we may know

diao unwittingly turned scavenger, and gath-
•entduip-u lead of falsehood, he mint u>«t hold
■Hie responsible «fsr his bad luck. Why did not
■these reportersfer the Northern ear get some
Sufevutatiouifroui other sources? Why!
I must eorrerl.wMr dirfie fellow-citixen for one

4ha “unknown” N. K. Ena vr-ns, the *ketcher,
in my note to Sl^jor ^.ran- wer did I for out
anomout sujipoee that he had any thing to do
with the afair in the Weekly, cacept getting
up the picture, V guritri that some one else
•wrote that htgl% .rhetorical statemont. How
Ahoa coaid I call ’Eoa vsrts a dor. I did not
intend to rail aa.v one try that epithet, hut he
twUo originated dke-slendrc, and be who aided
mod abetted in it. if an«r tnc lus been de
ceived, after taking d ie pnamtfofioioa the truth,
■he does not fall utuler my cer-urc.
I would also touch the man hr hind the tree
m little en other points. U'chaaemen “in our
jnidst” from Now Kcgtaad, and as I am iu-
formsd from nearly all the Korcpean Btates,
perhsps some front Asia itself. 1 hare not
even intiwated that the author of the slander
hails from any one of these loraUfies. Read
my statement again. Why then does my little
jiiaa from the other side of the tree charge me
with “not hegiuuivg at home to find fault !”—
Ask the people >>f ray flock if 1 don't find fault
with them when it is needed. Dees he believe
tuat the writer was not a citixea «f Darling
ton!
1 have bat a few wards mere in regsid to
myself. It is the first time in fifty-two years
that I have been held up in a newspaper as in
aay way having identified myself With false-
hoed. My natural temperament strongly in
fluences me to Shrink from notoriety even in
that which is good. I am more conscious of
the imperfections of my Christian spirit and
character than any one can possibly be for me.
It la possible-that my indignation at the out
rageous wholesale slander of the oilmens of
Pariiaftem, may have induced mo to use some
words too itrong for a Christian minister. I
am aot eoavineod of it, however. I have been
instructed by my parents and teachers to cull
men aad things by tbsir right name*. And to
show that I have not utterly departed from the
spirit aad teaehiags of “the meek aad iowly
pavior,” whoa I humbly desire ever to make
fny jafempiar, aad to recommend to others as
such ;i cite the atteatioa of readers to point
ed strong word# addressed by But to certain
characters, as follows : John, 8th thapter, 44
and 46th verses; Matthew 23rd chapter, 83rd
verso.
Mr. Editor, I am not a man of war, aor do
I desire over to trouble yon or your readers
with another word on this matter, and it does
not ooaeern me for myself one moment, wheth
er Harper belieros mq or not, far I have not
written with the fear of Harper or aay other
• man before my eyea. I have boon recently in-
• formed by intelligent Chrutian gentlemen from
A r «» England that the intelligence of that sec
tion doM aot credit as truthful morn than half
the matter of that shoot.
Allow mo to aay in closing this too long oom-
munioaUon, that i regret as painfully as aay
one slsa ths enormities that may have been
practiced by one class of oitisoas upon anoth
er, or af one oitixen upon another, bnt lot it
be over remembered that many fact* cannot
eubetaatiate the truth of on* falsehood. If it
|s oloarty established that Wins, whom 1 take
umbo a foreigner, has murdered his thousands
lot him pay the forfeit of his life in any way
that ham natty requires. And if it can bs

Mb. Editos :—Thinking you would not re
fuse to accept a few plain thoughts from ouc
who has visited the prison pens of Florence
that he might learn by observation bow the
huddled braves lived, died and were buried, 1
have sent you the following concerning the
world-abhorred
“STOCKADb’'*
which lies a short distance from Florence, or
a railrood junction by that name, which is on
ly renowned for the fret of its remoteness in
the post from anything modern or human.
A breastwork is thrown up to the height of
three feet and extends nearly around the
stoekade, at the distance of nearly forty rods,
forming an almost effectual barrier to escape
against all who were confined within its limits.
This wort is now thrown down in many places.
Between the breastwork and the stockade are
houses which were occupied by the guard.
These houses (for so 1 must call them when
compared with the dens occupied by the pris
oners) would look to the majority of the world
as though it would be nearly impossible^ for

any human being—even a soldier—to live in.
Yet they arc palaces when compared with the
quarters occupied by the prisoners.
These houses are built of logs in their rough
state, and are laid up in the usual primitive
log hut manner. They were once comfortable
quarters no doubt, and of sufficient size to ac
commodate the guard in all particulars. Pas
sing beyond these huts we come to the stoek
ade which is well worth the time spent in
looking around its scenes of misery and won
der.
Thera were awakened in our minds as wc pass
ed from point to point frelings which the pen,
however descriptive, eottld hut feebly portray.
The prison enclosure is formed by placing tim
bers in the ground in an upright position,
leaving on the inside a perpendicular wall
thirteen feet high. On the outside an embank
ment of earth is thrown up nearly to the top
•f the wall, thus giving the person who was
stationed on the parapet a full view of all that
was taking place in the stoekade.
As we entered the enclosure we saw at once
where the prisoners were eonfined. We first
come to the commissary sheds which were now
nearly destroyed by fire, leaving only the
blackened timbers. Just beyond are the huts
which were occupied by the prisoners. Only
B few of which are yet destroyed.
Passing to the centre of the enclosure we
are able to obtain a complete view of the stock
ade. Wc find ourselves surrounded by on up
right wall thirteen feet high and almost shut
in from a view of the country beyond.
The stockade is about thirty rods wide and
nearly sixty* long, making an enclosure of near
ly eleven acres. Running through the centre
of the pen is a stream ' f clear water, which
slackened the thirst of those confined within
its limits. On one side of the si .ram is a marsh
comprising nearly one third of tho area of the
inclosure leaving, therefore, only two-tliirdg
for huts. As the ground gradually rises from
the stream it becomes firm and is occupied by
little huts.
As we locked over the inclosure we beheld the
homes of many a brave soldier, showing their
earth-covered roofs only B few feet from the
ground. -
Into this stoekade the prisoners were thrust
without any means of protection from the
scalding heat of the sun or the inclemency of
the weather. Forced by the circumstances in
which they were placed to seek some protec-'
tion from the heat and cold, they at once be
gan to prepare for themselves “holes,” where
the could lay their heads. The earth was
usually dtig to the depth of one and a half
feet, six feet long, and five in width. Such was
the soldier’s home aud formed the walls of his
prison den.
It yet wanted a roof; to make which even
the fttel that was furnished to the prisoner,
was appropriated. The wood was split in fine
sticks, which were placed in the form of the
letter A over the walls. Upon the roofs were
then thrown old rags, roots, or some article
otherwise unserviceable, after which the wnole
was covered with earth to the depth of nearly
six inches. ,
The “home” was then furnished if we except
a meagre fire-plnce built ef bricks or adobes
dried in the sun. Usually the roof is not over
three feet high, ami the entrance ia scarcely
large enough to admit the body of a man.
I noticed a but, or rather a hole in the
ground, occupied by one man only; it was
enough to make one's blood run cold to see
where a man once lived. The hole was two
and a half feet deep, five long and two wide;
j over this was laid sticks, covered with earth,
forming a roof only a few inches above tho
ground. It was barely possible for a man to
turn in it, and here was the home of some brave
soldier, or an earth coffin for a living hero,
whose damnable treatment no heart net barbar
ized could have inflicted. Is it any wonder,
that lying on the cold damp ground in these
miserable dens, that so many men perished T
Nay, it ia rather a wander that instead of
the seven thousand now lying around the
stoekade, that there w*s not twice that number.
As we look ever the field of buried dead and
turn our thoughts to the twenty-feur hundred
and fifty miserable hats in the stockade, we do
not wonder that so many of the prisoners found
here their lost resting place, and we devoutly
thank Heaven that the Butcheries of the prison
pens are staid. ALWIN.

Mr. Editor:—Will you permit me thease
ef a corner of your paper to say te the vetere
of the First Congressional District, that / am
not a candidate for Congre**. I have uniformly
said this te ail inquiries addressed to me
prrivately. I am not a candidate, do not
intend to be, and have never far a single

erations, suppose that 1 could serve them ac
ceptably or usefully in this capacity, my apol
ogy for declining is, that there arc Insuperable
