by the sabot of a shot from one or th gun3

our men on t?;e baash. It was very hard
to depress these <:un3 sufficiently to
make them very effective* The battery
had not been constructed with the expectation
of an attack from that direction.
Iiwas appa:cat that it would not be

SIXTH OF DECEMBER, SUNDAY.
Djylig&t ciue a* las', ana with it
the quickening ef the Ore from the
Parrots of the enemy. The ileet came
up again and joiued ia the bombardment,
and it soon became as grand and
terrible as it was yesterday. The fort
was going rapidly* A large detail vras
constantly at wort:, but the covered
ways and entrances to the mag-;z;nrs
and fcomb proofs coula scarcely b^
kept open. The entrance to the covered
way leading- into the salienr was
orifirclc r>1 hlT thf* ^aild -driftS
caused by the enemys shot and shell.
The bombardment was a repetition of
yesterday. Men fell on every side and
the litter-bearers and surgeons had as
much as they could do. it wi>s the
custom to send the wounded up to the
city at night. Oar opportunities permitted
us to remove very few of the
dead from the island during the latter.
<?Ky* of the sipge. The suffering of the
mm was somewhat ailayed by digging
wells m the bomb-proofs. "Tolerable
water was thus obtained, but not in
sufficient quantities. The heat was intense
and the air in the bomb-proofs
became very ioui and hardly supported
life. The light of tne lamps, kept constantly
burning, cculd hardly penetrate
the gloom. The Rev. A.. F. Dickson,
our worthy and efficient chaplain, held
the usual Sunday's religious services,
and the voices of the men, singing the
praises of God, could be heard amid
the screaming of solid shot and burstin?
of shells.
About 2 o'clock JL\ M. Col. Harris and
Capt. F. D. Lee, of the engineer corps
came down from the city to inspect the
fort ana report ics condition to Gen.
Beauregard. They were of the opinion
that it could not be held much longer.
The work was,in their judgment, untenable.
Under the directions of Capt.
Lee the damages done by the enemy's
gun bad been promptly repaired till
tbe last parallel of (he besiegers was
completed. It was then no ionger pos
sible, and it was very hard to k?ip
from being entirely buried by tbe sand
drifts occasioned by the bursting shells.
The parapet of the saiiient was now
entirely gone, acd the ditch in front
lilted for a space of fifty feet or more.
At dark the enemy's sap reached the
ditch at a point tc iheeas1; of thi3 fid.
About 4 o'clock, after Col. Harris and
Capt. Lee had made their report, we
received the order or Gen. Beauregard
through the signal corps to evacuate
^**7 the fort The plan cf evacuation had
beenTaiUeci over ana asreea upon oy j
C.l. Keitt and the oflicers commanding I
regiments, in anticipation of receiving I
tne order. Xo one of us can claim for I
himself the honor of its arrangement.
Tne order of Gen. Beauregard did not
fix the details, and our plaus were not
changed. In tbe event of our failure
to receive the order to evacuate, as we
could not successfully resist an assault,
83 we resolwd to make a sortie, and
tbrow our command upon the enemy
in their last parallel. We were resolve 1
to sell our lives as dearly as possible,
and I bave no doab* that our assault ot
the enemv woulu have been a very honorable
death struggle.
In accordance with our plan of eva

fell to the 25th 6. C. V. Wirh a
part of iha; regiment I was to cover
the retreat of a;l the troops from the
fort, exc-pt a small detail under Cap*..
Huguenin, who were to be M't to blo w
up the tnagaziues and lire the lust gun.
Oa the approach of uignt the Wee Xe-s
Volunteers and Beauregard Lisht Infantry
were ordrred to march in trom
the Sand Hills. This, no doubt, created
the impression on the enemy that
fresh trocps were coming in to r-lieve
the worn out garrison. At dusk Capt.
Crawford, with the 2Sth Georgia,
moved out of the fort. This regiment
took with it a 12-pounder ho.vitzer, to
be used, if occasion required, by the
27th Georgia in covering the embarkation
of the troops at Cura tiling's Point.
This duty, at the request of Major
Gardner, had been assigned to the 27th.
A breasr work had been hastily tnrcwa
across the island not far above Battery
Gregg, where a stand was to be made
in the event of the enemy's overwhelming
my command, and following the retreating
column. Our guns had b?en
silent for thirty-six hours. It had become
impossible, as I have already
said, to use the few guns which had no't
been dismounted by the enemy's lire.
Now, however, lire was reopened from
the only mortar which we had lit for
use. The only other one in the fort
was an old Revolutionary piece, which
I recognized as having seen at the Citadel
when I was a cadet. It had been
spiked by the breaking of the priming
wire, and had been useless for several
days. Ouriirine of this piece was at
irregular interval?. Besides this mortar
one gun was also used. As soon as
the 28th Georgia left, that portion of
the wall occupied by Lhem was covered
by the Clarendon Guards, (Company 1.)
under tbe command o: Capt. .Joseph C.
Burgess. Our men were directed to
keep up a steady lire, not *o rapid as to
create the impression that we were doing
it for effect, nor jet so slow as to
induce the beli'T that the garrison had j
been weakened. We were anxious to
make the enemy believe that this new
life was occasioned by fresh arrivals.
The lire of the enemy vra3 kept up ;
I briskly, and t'leir s^eiis wr- falling all |
around. As soon as 1 had information !
that tbe 2->:h Georgia hnd embarked, j

ies R. D, K, G and II. They, I'.ke the
Georgian?, took with them -i 12-poundt
er ho.vilzer. '.Ve tried to conceal the
j fact from oar own men that we were
evacuating the fort, and did ail that
we could to cause them to beiieve that
fresh troop3 were near to take their
places in the garrison. Great circumspection
awl caution was required.
The enemy were in oar ditch and not
more than lifty feet from as. (I have
recently ha:i a conversation with Capt.
R-my, of the cruiser Charleston, who
cold me that he was with the troop3 in
our ditch.) A panic among our men
wouii have Liern at once fatal to the
whole movement. Xo troops coul1
have bchtved better than the garrisou
at Fort W'agaer.
The St. Matthew's J lilies, Company
F, C-spt. Mar'in II. Sellers, were posted
behind thf l! <ok wall 0:1 the outside of
the fort. ?Vhil*u the events jus* rarwprp

First Serg*. Carson, of Company
F, one of the oesT non-com missioned
Cillers in the service, was killel. tIm*i

attained a pes tioa n-tter suit-.-J to his
ability. His comrades, wit a their bayone's,
dug a s;r:tve in the s^od behind
the ilank wail and buried him tber*-.
The ooomin? of the enemy's guns and
bursting of snells were his funeral salute.
Truly he was buried with the
honors of war.

That oilb-r wVh this detai', and a few

ordered by Col Keitt to light a slow

in which was a quantity of powder
Ths match was so timed that the ra igaziue
would he blown up afrer the last
troops had left the fort. Tne journey
to Cummlog's Point was a perilous
trip: sheiis were fulling and bursting
around and over us. We kept in the

light of the enemy lighted up our
works an brillianty as 0:1 the previous
night. The shadow of Wagner extended
nearly to Cumming's Point.. The sail
ors ot' the Confederate ironclad gunbjats
were the oarsmen who rowed '.he
boats upon which we embarked. We
were carried to s'eamers in waiting
just aoo'e Jt ore >umter. au omcer oi
the navy coma :ded each of tne smill
boats. rbe skiu of the oarsmen was
astonishing.' The boats kept abreast
with the lenght of an oar from the gunwale
to the end of tne blade separating:
them. The cars thus interlocked never
touched or interfered witti eash other.
Tne bombardment of Wagner by the
enemy was still goinmg on after we
reached the steamers. It had not then
been discovered that the work had b?en
evacuated. Tne boats returned for
JLLuguenin and his party, but before
they came back we heard iiring of small
arms in the direction of (jamming's
1'oiut. Great fears were entertained
that the crave captain and his detachment
had been overtaken. In a few
minutes, however, he and the oflieers
left with him and nearly all of the men
arrived. Tne bo-?ts wnich Lad returned
from the steamers to (Jamming's Point
for Iluguenin's party were everhauled
bv the enemvs oicktd boats as tney
came on* of the creeks and were mat-1
ing their nightly rounds. We lost of
the garrison fifty-seven men captured
by tha enemy, a" few of them naval
officers and the rest sailors and soldiers.
Six of the men were of Company I.
We reachcd Fort Johnson and disembarked
in safety. As soon as the news
was comaaaica'el to our bitterries
that the evacuation of Morris Island
had been accomplished they and the
gunboats in the h -rbor opened with all
their guns on that island. Three rockets
were sent up. which wis the prearranged
signal for opening (ire.

ii' people would ooiy realize, says the
N'ew'Yorfc Ledger, bow easy it is to
teieh children good manners when
they were little, it seems to me they
would never uegl->ct to attend to it.
The Youngster is allowed to go his own
way, to violate every rule of courtesy,
3om-tiineaof decency, until his habits
are to an extent formed. Then there
is a great breaking up of established
notions and the child is punished and ,
nacrccr! and worried for doing that j;
? _
which it has heretofore been permitted :
Lo do without criticism. It becomes
inhered, sullen, unsettled ar.d irritable, ,
md has a strong sense of justice? j

Just why people should indulge tbe-ri- ,

the answer of Dole to Willis's demands j,

summary, however, hus been obtained '
f:om good authorty:
l)jle begins by noting that this is '

made to tne Provisional Government
Df anything having been cone or con- ;
siderel in'tha premises until the h1- (
letj-t-d conclusion of the President now
ure-ected by Minuter Willis. An ex- '
h^us'ive resume is given of the series 1
of political struggles leading un to the '
revolution, including the acts of Kala- 1
kaua before 1887 and his obstructing i
atjd dictating legislation by tilling the '
Legislature with office holders. The <
climax was reacheu in the opium scm- j
d-il when Kalakaua took a bribe of ?71,- j

overthrow the monarchy. This was
averred by submission to the new Constitution,
which took most oi his arbi
trary power away. Thenca oa till his
dra;h he constantly chafed and sought
to ^vade these restrictions.
Tne losiue history of the attsmpted
revolution of 1SS;) is then recited, and
of Liiiuokalaui's participation therein.
The opposition then shown by her to
the *ights and interests of foreigners
was ;-.tter her ascending to the throne
consrantly ewphas zed. It became violent
during the iaiter part of 1802, as
shown by htr preveisi appointments
of our Cabinets in opposition to the
will of the Legislature. The events ef
the last Wrfek of her reign are recited, |
the resuscitation of the defunct lottery 1
bill, the removal of the Wilcox Cabinet 1
all through the Qieen's personal inllu- >
ence. Dole recnes the attempted coup
d'etat action of the committee of safe- I
t-r- 'jrnl tivn rntics mei.f.iri-Tq f?f '
ers and natives. The com nittee ]
deemed the presence of American ;
forces necpssary for the protection of \
life and property and requested Stevens ,
to land thern. * t
D le denounced in the strongest ;
terms as a falsehood that Stevens was '
ever asked to have his forces assist in ;
the revolution or that he ever did so. 1
The Government disclaims having ev- 1
er authorized Damon or any other persons
to make terms lor the Queens surrender,
and denies that he ever leported
or was asked to report such terms. <
Damon made those terms on his own <
responsibility. Never before or since i
the revolution did the members or' the
committee on safety confer with Stev- i
on<j rvhnnt thft overthrow of the GOV- ;
eminent. The provisional Govern- ;
meut is responsible only to those who ;
constituted"and are now maintaining i
it in power. It is amenable to no for- ]
eign Tower cn earth. It has always :
been faithiul to its constituents and by
no acts or intimation has ever offered <
to submit its right to the United <
States or any other Power. Forthese :
reasons the Government must refuse <
to consider the proposition of Minister
Willis. Xo allusion is made by Pre3i- :
dent Dole to Willis' appeals to their
patriotism and moral sense nor to the '
terms of amntsly secured from the ?
Ex-Queen.

The quiet testimony of graduates of ,
the Keeley Treatment by their life of
sobriety among neighbors and compan- ;
ions who knew them formerly as help- ;
less habitues of inebriety, is a factor
which we may not always appreciate,
but which operates constantly nevertheless.
This is the chief among the '
quiet forces which have been at work ,
gradually but surely to transform the j
popular "skepticism into a practical
faith in the Keely Treatment snd full |
acceptance of it as an established insti- (
tution m medical practice.
It has been a ereat- source of satisfac- ]
tiou to notice this progress here in the | j
metropolis of the country. Only a
year or two ago New York was con- j
vulsed by the very thought of a cure
for drunkenness. But the spectacle of ,
well-kno wn "men about towD," form- j
erly marked lor their convivial habits,
but now abstaining altogether and uu- J
able to be tempted, has been working a
remarkable change of conviction on
this subject in this city.?Golden
News, Xov.20,1803.
The same may be said of Columbia, j
a rumber of our brightest and gayest 1
citizens who were cured a year ,or two
since have given proof of the efficacy
of the Keeley treatment to entirely era- 1
rifcate the old habit. They have the '
profound respact and best wishes of i
many sincere trien.ls. j

"Why am i so certain that the Dou- i
Lie Cnloride of Gold Treatment will (

uate m response to the caviler's ques- t
Hod. "For the bes-, reason in the ,
world?because it cured me." This
graduate may be olisslul ignorant of <
nerve ceils and therapeutics, and the ,
natm-H of drills, but this he does know, i
that before be took the Keeley Treat- "
ment he couidn't let whiskey alone, j
ivhile now it has no more attraction :
for him as a beverage than has sjtaf- j
t'nrd'a unchangeable jet-black writing {
fluid. How the cause ot' this transfor- ,
ation brought about the effect he j
3iin no more tell th?n can the butterfly ,
explain the nature of the sorcery by j
which it was changed from a crawling ,
caterpillar into "a ilo*er with wings." But
he will contend with his last j
breath that this wonder-working cause j
was the Keeley Remedies and nothing ,
else, and that if it cured inebriety m j
him it will cure it in others who3e con
jition now 13 what his was before he j
took the Treatment. ,
For ttie reason that he is now useful j
to his family, aud friends and agar.-,
hippy and honored, he ureses all suf[ering
from the liquor and opium habits
to go to the Keeley Institute, of
Columbia, S. 0., to be completely cured ;

For a generation, perhaps longer,j
1S93 will stacd in history as the unlucky
year. Commercial failures un- \
precedented in modern times have been
thicklv trickled aloner its Dathwav.
The depression and bard times have
cot been confined to the United States
alone, but singularly enough have been;
shared by all English speaking peoples.
The largest single bank failure recorded
for the year was that of the Nation
al bank of Australia, which went
under in April with liabilities amounting
to 837,500000. Australia and all
England's south Pacific colonies were
shaken to the centre financially. The
next largest failure was perhaps that
in which the American Erie railway,
with a floating debt of 86,000,000, went
into the hands of a receiver in July. It
was a terrible year financially for railroads,
with 30 of them at present in
the hands of receivers. It was also a
year of unparalleled accidents and loss
of life on tracks and trains. There
were 20 serious accidents and collisions,
most of them during the World's
i air mom ns. An average or over
three persons a day was either killed
or badly injured on railway trains in
1893. Fire, flood and storm keep pace
with the otner misfortunes. Certainly
not less thm 8103,030,000 went up in
Came and smoke in 1893, mostly in the
United States. The mo3t destructive
single lire, however, was that which
occurred in London, July 17, with a
loss of ?7,500.000. Large areas in Bos
ton and Chicago were burned out
again. Ia Boston two great fires occurred,
one of them destroying $2,500,000
worth of property, sweeping over
the identical ground ravaged by the
Are of November, 1872. March 23 a
tornado struck several of the southern
states, causing in Mississippi alone a
loss of 18 lives and over S2,000,000
worth of property. Aug. 27 a West
Indian cyclone swept up along the
coast of Georgia and South Carolina,
crushing and drowning nearly a thous*
"? ? * - *--i- ? ? J
ana peopie, aestroyiug crops auu miming:
thousands of negroes destitute. A
still more terrific storm visited the
gulf coast Oct. 2, involving the loss of
2,000 lives and an incalculable amoun*
of property. less disastrous was
the great cyclone on the coast of western
Europe, Nov. 19. A storm so destructive
to shipping has not been
known on the British and French
coasts in half a century. Even these
storms in America and Europe are insignificant,
though, when compared
with the calamity that overtook the
town of Kuchau in the Persian province
of Khorassen. There on the 17th
Df November an earthquake shock
saused the loss of 12,000 lives. Of
lynching horrors and train robberies
!he melancholy year of 1893 goes down
to history laden full. May we mase no
?uch unhappy record in these respects
tor 1894! With so many sickening
events crowding on9 another upon the
observation and memory, with the
want and bitter hard times all around
them, it is scarcely to be wondered at
that so many persons lost their mental
balance, forgeting themselves sometimes
in insanity, sometimes in suicide
[n New York city alone there has
oeen an average of a suicida a day durng
the whole of 1893, The nnmber of
thousands taken off by the cholera in
ilsia, eastern Europe and north Africa
:here are no means of knowing. It
must have been at the lowest 50,000,
aowever. Eighteen hundred and nine

suffering and terror. It is ended now.
[f mankind shall learn from the woe
indwantit uncovered to be just and
Sindly, then its losses will not be all

comes after can be no worse. We

relief and turn our faces with new
