sion to make public what I swore to. I
said a good deal more than I can put
down, Mr. Editor, and at times my language
was considered impudent, but they
thought that was all the bettor for their
side, for it illustrated the rebellious spirit?I
he:frd one of'cm say : * "Let him
go on?the rilling passion strong in death
He's good State's evidence."
When I was put on the stand, old
Rout well swore uic most fiercely and
solemnly to speak the truth, the whole
irnth and nothing but the truth, and 1
observed that he was then entertaining
about a quart of double rectified, and it
looked like it had soured pn his stomach.
-Old Blow was settin off on one side,
with -n-tttemcittfiduiii. book, gettin- ready
to note down some "garbled extracts."
Old Ironworks was Chairman, .and
w lien he nodded his Republican head,
ofu n.H'.t^oll, sajs Le : "Your name is
Arp, I believe,-sir?"
"So-called," says I.
"You reside in the State of Georgia,
do you?"
* "I can't say exactly," says I. "I live
in Rome, right in the fork of two Injuu
rivers."
"In the State of Georgia?" says lie,
fiercely.
"In a State of uncertainty about that,"
says I. "We don't know whether Georgia
is a State or not. I would like you
to state yourself, if you know. The state
of the country requires that this matter
should bo settled, and I will proceed to
statu" ?
"That depends on circumstances,"
says I, "I dou't know whether to count
the last five years or not. During the
war, vour folks said that a State couldn't
secede, but that while she was iu a state
of rebellion she ceased to exist. Now.
you say wo got out and we shan't get
back again until 1870 A man's age
ha< got softiethin to do with his .lights,
and if we arc not to vote, I don t tuink
we ought to count the. time. That's
about a.s near as I can come to my age,
air."
"Well, sir," says he, "are you familiar
with the political sentimeuta of the citi*
Zens of your State ?"
"Got no.citizens yet, s'r. that we know
nf. I will thank yon to apeak of us as
"P-'T1*"
"\\ ej?, sir,' says lie, "i'ii humor your
obstinacy. Are the people of your State"?
]> ju't spenk of it ?s a State, sir, if you
please. I'm on oath now, and you must
. d xtuse me for being particular. Call it. i
h 'section.1'
"Mr. Arp, ara thepeoph of yonr section
Mitiioiontly humbled and repentant to
come lack into the Union on such terms
as we may think proper to impose ?"
"Not much they ain't," says I, 'T
don't think they arc prepared for it. j
They wouldn't go it blind against youi ,
hand. They say the deal wasn't fair, j
and you'v6 marked the cards and stole (
the tiurops; but, at the same time, they
don't care a darn what you "do. They've
l-ccnme indifferent, and don't care nothin
about your Guy Fawkes lusiness. 1

They don't expect anything decent,
or honorable, or noble, from you,
and they've goiic to work diggin, and
plovvin arid p.antio, and raisin boy chil- j
dren."
Right here the man with a memoran- j
dtun scratched down a garbled extract, j
arid old Boutwell, says he : "What do j
you mean by th it, sir ? hut inference j
do you intend ?" i
"I'm statin facts,'' says I. "You must |
iraw your own inferences. They are
raisin loy children. Ar.y harm about that?
. Any treason ? Can't a man raise boy
children ? per bap's you'd like to amend
the Constitution and Btop it. Old Pharaoh
tried to stop it among the Israelites,
1 ut. it didn't pay He finally-caught the
drop-; .'r-^he Rod Sea. Wo are taisio
loy children for the tun of it. They are
a good thing to have in the house, as
Mra. Toodles would say"
"Mr. Arp, are not the feelings of your
people very bitter towards the North ?"
"I beg your pardon, sir, but you'll
have to split the question, or else I'll
have to split the answer. Our people
have a very high regard for honorable
men, and there's a heap of 'etu North,
and there's a hajtp of widow's and or :

utterly impossible for lue to toll the t
strength ami length, and bight, depth

"That's sutlicient, sir," says old Bout- i
well. "Ef it was in their power to do

Thai may be a theoretical truth;- but it's i i

Old Blow couldn't keep up with bis

"What makes the President so popular

'Contrast, sir?contrast. The more
he ain't like your party, the more popular
he i*. IJe would treat us about right.
I reckon, if you would let him alone, but
yon bedetil him so, that sometimes he

he knew for a while whether his .peace

look round at the political wreck and
ruin and plunder nnd stealage that'6 been
going on, and they might exclaim, in the' 1
language of the poet, <
"Whoso piu hero sinco I'ah pin gone?1'
"Mr. Arp, suppose we should have a *
war with England or France, what would 3
the rebels do?'' * . t
"Thej\l follow Gen. Lee, and Gen. t
Johnson, and Longstreet, and Bragg and
old Borv. My opinion is, that Gen. Lee
would head the Union army, and Gen. E
Grant would be Lis chief of staff, and Gen. r
Buell would rank mighty high, and?"
"What would you do with General 1
Sherman?" ~
"Sorry you mentioned 'hira. " We'd t
have to hire hiro, I reckon, as a camp fi
fiddler, nnd make him 6ing "Hail Columbia"

how mean it is to burn cities and towns 8
and make war upon defenceless women f
and children. No, sir, our boys wouldn't c

At this time the man with the morao- p

Trial of 35r. Ifavitr.
Despatches from Richmond announce
hat the trial of Mr. Davis has beap>
postponed until October. Judge Utte

irst Tuesday in October as the time at
vhich it will be most convenient for

General Speed, who ts expect?4
x> conduct the prosecntion, lj^d "]|A
lotified^him that he was too' buiy ^
ittend to Mr. Davis' case at present.
The proceedings were disfigured by
some rathor coarse and unfeeling allusions,
by the Assistant District AttorH
ley, to the "chrystalization process,*
ind the pleasantness of life at Fortress
Monroe ; bat this, perhaps, was to havd
oeen expected. - 1
The Assistant District Attorney, givng
the reasons why Mr. Davis could
lot be tried now, 6tated, among other
;hings, that Mr. Davis was not., and.
lever had been in the custody of the
Dourt, but was held under an order ^f
;he President, signed by the Secretary
in whjelT there^^haS been
rerBy. We suppose the next stop will
je to bring Mr. Davis up on the habeas
;orpus with a view to his being bailed,
it all events, we hope that either that
vill be done, or that'the President wil^
lischarge Mr. Davis 'on parole. He
las a clear right under the Constitiyion
to a speedy trial, and if, after &
rear's delay, the Govermnent is unable
o grant him this, it is their duty either
o parole or release him onbail.

Below we give a paragraph extracted :
from si private letter, and published in ;
the Charleston Courier of a recent date,'
setting forth the ihany disadvantages
our merchants; and ot^hf shippers are
contending agaiustf in' cqtasequence of
the very tardy action of the &jtrth Carolina
Railroad Company in .relaying,
the tracbi fr^ttij'jtliis place to
Creek?a- distance, of fourteen miles:
"We may revert to this at least seeming
neglect in out next:
Camdex, June 2, 1866.?I beg to call
your attention to matters that, if not
corrected at an early day, may very jseriously
affect the interest of the merchants
of your city. The South Carolina
Railroad Company seem very tardy
in their movements toward the relaying
and completing the Camden branch
to this point; thereby suhiectinir -the
merchants here, also the planters in
the surrounding country, to serious inconvenience,
besides incurring heavy
expenses in shipping cotton and naval
stores by flat boats to the WatereeBridge,
thence by rail to Charleston or
Wilmington. Of course freight a wilt
tho m^chants of Wilmingtoi and t8!
Wilmington and Manchester Eailroa^'
are nw reaping a rich harvest at tft?
expense of the merchants of your city
and the South Carolina Railroad Company.
Tho question will natnrally
arise, from whence is this, or the cause
of this state of tilings. By examination
of freight charge on the two roads,
you will* And that the ..Wilmington
route is greatly in favor of the shipper.
F.or instanca, a barrel of turpentine
can be put down in Wilmington at
$2.25* and a barrel of rosin at 75 cents,
while it costs $5.8.0. to place the same
in Charleston. The same-rule applies
to other freights to and from Northern
portS;- Our merchants tell mo they can"
get their goods at much leSs expense
via Wilmuigtoflt. than via Charleston,
and that the difference in the expenses
is not only in freights, but the changes,
such as commissions, drayago, &<?,
which is greltly in favor of W llmington."
High
Price of Corn.
The Winnsboro' (8. 0.) Ifeics of June
2, chronicles one of the highest sales
of corn, we remember in tho State. It
says:;
The lot of 10 JO bushels of corn advertised
in tho 1Vtics to bo sold by auction
on the 31st uit., was disposed of
on Thursday last. Quite a number of
persons were present, and the grain
was bid off at pretty high figures.
There were sixteen lots.sold publicly

each ; and two of ono huudred bushels
each. V
The average price of the lots, wa&
82.70 3-J!J i. '
Tho terms of tho sale-?approved
note until November 1st.
We are grieved to bo compelled to
record this transaction, asdt^points to
three calamities our State now-suffers
under, viz. A great scarcity of corn, a
tight money market, mid the already
frequently belabored rates of freight
on our railroads A combination of
causes which,-, if they continue, must
result in great distress to a iirge number
of our people.?Charleston Xeius.
The Desolation of*Columbia,

Columbia is beyond all doubt the
most desolate looking place South pf

prospect of tottering walls and smokestained
ruins over which they wave. I
No one can fujlv appreciate tho utter
destruction of the city without seeing
it- 500 buildings, not including those i
j of a public nature, were burned, mostly
; located in the business heart of the
i city. At present the city presents a
truly heart-sickening sight, and when J
we take into consideration the fact that
moBt the citizens -firmly bfelieve thai<8huxiuirtwr^Quicd'T7r:

it is not hard to amount for.
