It is truly gratifying to the old sold'er element and their many frionds, to see what efforts are beiog made to get up a true history of our late war front a Southern standpoint. This is the work of the "Reunii-ns," and "Soldiers veteran Associations" all over this county. Such men as Generals Gordon, Butler and Duncan, have done much to get this work on foot, and now it is erystaliiing into a first olass history of which our people aie proud. Nearly all the book stores and publishing houses north and south have beeu searohed for books end rseords containing historical matter. Private diaries have been colled into requisition, too, and inuch imp>rtanl matter gathered from them. From one of which we gather (he following, which may be of interest to our readers : David Meyers, ef Louisiana, a ?randsju of Col. David Meyers, deceased, of Kichland district, 8. C., distinguished himself at the battle of 1st. Manassas, Ju' 21, 18G1. "This young soldier was only I years old, and n member of Capt. Going's company, in the Hampton Legion, lie is also a nephew of Hon. Till, mfcn Watson, of Edgefield district, whose name the company bears the "Waism Guards." This little fellow deserted hia military school at Aiken, and coutinued to enlist secretly in a company for the defense of Charleston and the subjugation of Fort Kumter, without letting his father or any of his relatives know anything of bis whereabouts. He ' lived so private at Morris' Island, during theseige there, that although he had two uncles (Senators in tbe State Legislature) in that citv during tho month of January, who frequently visited the works and defences, they never dreamed that he was enrolled in the encampment as a soldier there, where he remained until the surrender of Mtyor Anderson. This so fired his young heart that ho insisted on going to his grandmothers, in Edgefield District, to gd her permission f-.r him to jcin the "Watsen Guards," under captain Gary. He eatd he wac determined to fight tho Yankee a to the end of tho war, His grandmother yielded to hie request. and eeut a big strong ntgro fellow to take care of him. On the day of the memorable batt'c Dave was sick, and had been for several days, but with a light breakfast ihat morning, and a blister tho s.ze of a breakfast plate, he ran seven miles as well as any of them, and when io the midst of the severest part of the fighting, after being five hours on fort, shot an officer, and advanced on him, eevernl paces in front of the line of battle and captured his sword frsm his person. At another part of the fray he killed a soldier and took his guu. After the action, aod aubsequently to the retreat of the federals, when again upon his tick pillow, Mr. John -Nicholson a brother oldier who had more experience, advised him to go to Richmond to reoruit hi* health. He, turning ever, with his teeth firmly set, declared he would never do that until the Confederate Amy lied captured the city of Washington, "That nothing but death should deprive bim of being present on that occasion, and true to his instinct he lingered with his comrades in the field until the swift,winged messenger cancelled his pledge. Vox. Santuc. Jan. 14? We had an imitation blizzard down here last Saturday, for the spaco of two hours. The wind blew a regular gale. It cleared olf, however, in n short time, and by the next morning we felt as if we had beeo transferred a few thousand miles nearer the North Pole. As yet farmers have not done anythirg worth mentioning towards farm work. Some little patches have been cleared off, undoubt edly for coMod. There will probably be ns much cctton planted this year as ever. It seems that experience does not do some propie any good. From the way things have been going lately a largo crop would be a great oalemity to thecotion groweis. We have heard sorao inlk of sending supplies to the Nebraska suffeiers. The Farmers Alliance is, 1 believe, the prime mover in this cause. The Aldance is never the last to sympathize and respond in any charitable --Work. Mess. Stephenson & Shelby cf Union Co., N.

The monthly report of the South Caro ina State Weather Bureau has just been received and says that last December was one of the most notable on reoord. The extremo range of temperature was from one degree below sercto eighty-five degrees above.
