WEDSTB3DAY, MAECH 25. Why we Told tb? Truth. Wheo Gen. Sherman died, The News tod Courier made a brief review of bis life and military services, acd spoke of him as he was, nothing exton vating, nor setting down aught io malice. It expressly refrained from com tr, co tog upon the "ghastly narr: tive of his career or apon the character of the principal actor in it." It had no desire to wound, unnecessarily, the feelings of those who mourned his depar? ture, or of the people of a very large part of the country who looked upon his death as a public bereavement. It gare as briefly and as concisely as possible a t;ue historical sketch of his life, aad was content to leave him and his fame to the makers of our history when the time shall come for snoh his? tory to be WWtteO without prejudice or animosity. * We are told, however, that The News and Courier has endeavored to revive the memories of the war. and that while j what it said was true, it should,' al leant, have withheld its oom meats until efter the grave bad closed opon its victim. This is a sentimental - view io take of a very practical subject, but we had no Choice in the matter, and h ras necessary that something should bs said at the time it was said and in the. way it was said. Perhaps it has been observed that the commente of The News and Courier were based entirely opon the evidence submitted by Northern soldiers and patriots and soldiers, and that nowhere have we attempted to give a Southern or sec? tional complexion to, the views we haye ? -expressed in regard to Gea- Sherman We are told again that the war is . over, and that the Souih can never ex peet to receive any Northern immigra tion or Northern capital so long as Southern newspapers, and particularly The News and Conner, indulge in truth? ful reflections apon the public career of fash- Northern soldiers as Gen. Sher maa. Thia may be true. But far bet? ter thai the South should remain unde? veloped, better that not a siogte North? ern Immigrant nor a single Northern dollar should ever come within its territory than that we should falsify history to please anybody, There is rom and welcome in the Sooth for every honest immigrant, wherever he may bail from, and there is interest and profit fer every Northern dollar that is judiciously invested in Southern enter? prises. So much the greater reason is there why we shoold maintain oar self refect, so that when the immigrant and the capitalist come to live with os they can respect os for what we are and not tor what some of us would seem ta be. About a week ago a bill came up io the Texas L?gislature providing for the purchase of text books for the publie , schools in that State. There was quite sn animated discussion of that provision of the bill looking to the parchase of a history of tho United States. Senator Simpkins moved that there should be purchased only "histories written from a Southern *'point of view," and said that it was a shame that the Southern .children should be taught that their fathers were traitiore and rebels. Ex Oovernor Lubbock declared that the , histories now used in the schools taught his children that he was a rebel. Other Senators expressed their views very i pertinently opon the subject ander dis cuma. The New York Tribune, which is one of the manufacturers of Northern thought and sentiment, says in regard to this matter : '.Naturally, the man who has served time ia the Penitentiary does not want his soo taught by history that his father was ever convicted. The defeated traitors wsre pardoned, and bnt for a nation's generosity would have been imprisoned or hanged.' Bot, of course, we most not censure the Tri bone for making this brutal and mendacious statement, because the Tribune is the leading Republican newspaper of the country and it has great influence with the capitalists and with the Northern people who are seeekiog homes in the South, and if we shoold be so bold as to denounce it as it deserves we might deter capital and im ?>i<raats from coming this way. Wi s e to go on forever eulogizing the men who fooght on the other side, teaching our children that Jefferson Davis and Kobert E. Lee and Wade Hampton and ali other great men of the Southern Confederacy were traitors and deserved to be hanged, because the histories that are made for ns are made for Northern consomption and, of course, we must ase them, lest we be charged, forsooth with keeping alive the memories of thc war? No people have ever prospered, and no people will ever deserve to prospe: who arc false to themselves-who forge their dead-who abandon their princi? ples for the sake of making a few dollars or of adding a few 6zures to their popt - Ittiott ta bbs. Good people are alway.? welcomed in the Sooth, not when they come here to teach us that we were traitors, but when they come to help OS boild op the country in all its in ter est -News and Courier. Editorial Allusions. Last week speaking of how easily the the reporter who described the effusive meeting between Hampton and Ingalls might have been innocently mistaken we referred to a mistake made by the Greenville Newt when we presented certain flags to the State at the last ses? sion of the l?gislature. We supposed the editor of that paper was present at the time bot he states that he was in Baltimore at the time and therefore th? mistake was not his. This statement was somcieot answer to what we said bot our esteemed contemporary could not refrain from an offensive alludion to us a? *'Robert Retrospective Hemp bill.'' One is certainly driven to the wall when he resorts to puns on a name. Our young friend should never j ke with a man who has reached the age of ffry years. It would be very unbecoming in ns to speak of A B WMHams as ''Amasiog Bosh Wil Hams." It would indicate a malicious feeling towards bim which we do not entertain. On the contrary we have the kiodest feeling for bim and are tru? ly grieved that he is still fighting the people and the present Administration. -Abbeville Medium.

The following extract is from Jeffer son Davis's memoirs : One girl, whose sweetheart was a gallant soldier in the Fifth Sooth Carolina Regiment, and who had fought bravely all through the seven-days' battles, made the follow? ing earnest reqaest : .'Dear Mr. President: I want you to let Jeems C., of company oneth, 5th Sooth Carolina Regiment, come home and get married. "Jeems is willi o', *I is wiitin', 'his mammy says she is willing bot Jeems's captain, he ain't willia'. *Now when we are all wrllin' ceptin' Jeeais's captain, I think yon might let np and let Jeems come, i'll make him go straight back when he's done got married and fight just as hard as ever." Mr. Davis wrote on the letter, "Let Jeems go.'7 Jeems went home, married the affectionate correspondent of Mr. Davis, returned to his regiment, and did fight as well as ever. i- ? ? -mi A 250 Ton Gun. The Krupp Company has just de? spatched the largest gan wbich has ever been manufactured, from Essen to Hamburg, for shipment to Croc ?tadt, it beiog the property of the Russian Government, This gun, which is made of cast steel, weighs 235 tons, and bas a calibre of 13 J inches, and a barrel of 40 feet in length. It fires two shots per ajin?te, and each charge costs ??300. It was tested at E.?seo before a number of Russian officers, and after penetrating 19 inches of armor, the projectile went 1,400 yards beyood the target. Christian Arbitrator and Messenger of Peace. So far as the House was concerned these infamous measures were impossible with? out a speaker lost to all sense of honor. A man was needed who could rule with? out principle, a man "weighing 300 pounds, all backbone," who would whistle his honor down the wind, count a quorum wheo no quorum was pres? ent and convert a heretofore deliberative body into a political machine. The des? perate circumstances needed a tool as the burglar does a jimmy. It was found, in the person of Thomas j bracket Reed. With willing subserviency he lent himself to the plot, and privately boped by the excess and success of his infamy to win a nomination for the Presidency.-N. Y. Herald, Iud. -Wade Hampton yesterday left the service of the State of South Carolina ?.fur having been engaged in it daring fourteen years of peace and four years [>f war. No State ever dismissed a more faithful son aud servant with less reason. No man ever went down with more dignity, with a clear conscience, with a brighter record cr with higher bairns on the love and honor and grati tude of a people. Wade Hampton will go into history a grand figure. Thc men he scorned too much to contend with will be remembered, not in? dividually but collectively, as those whose mean greed and narrowness of *onl made them despise the motives that move just and manly men.-Greenville Xews, M'irch 5th.
