The detailed repori of the great naval battle off Manilla nas Deeo re-1 ported to the newspapers by their war' correspondents and officially reported by Co ninodore Dewey. Dewey's victory is wonderfn!. He totally destroyed the enemj'a fi^et. Not aa | American was killed, not an American ship seriously injured, although our ship3 had to resist both the Spanish ships and the guns on the forts. Three hundred Spaniards were killed and about four hundred wounded. This is ad unprecentei nival battle. The remarkable American victory was - ^ - J. possible not because me epiniaras were lacking in courage, but because the Spaniards could not hit their targets and the Americaaa could do it and did it. A week ago, it was plain from even the censored despatchss from Madrid that the Spanish bad met with a crashing defeat, and as we said last week it wa? probable that 3ubsequeut and detailed reports would show even greater loss to the ensmy, bat utter defeat and casualties on our side have been a sarpri3e to the American people. It seems almo3t a miracle that even the wildest shootiog by the Spanish should not have been fatil to soma of our sailors. Dewey is complete master of the situation. Manila is at his mercy, and he practically holds possession of the Philiipine*. He will not formally take possession until troops arriw. R .iuforcemcnts will be sent kirn from Saa Fraacisco in a few days. The Piiiliipices belong to the United States. What (hey will do with the islands remains to be seen. There is some talk that, tbe seizin? of the Phillipiues, Porto Rico, and Caba will not necessarily en.J tee war, and that Spain had virtually lost those possessions before thy war began; that with these possessions gone, she will continue to harass us and the war could be f/\i* ?r?T7J>r?Q ] Tt, ?fi argaed that Spain has beea at war for several hundred years, and the people ?f Spain are indifferent'to the devastations of war. It is, therefore, said that an invasion of Spain alone will terminate the war. In this event, the Phillipinas may become valuable to the United States. This view is parelv - ^ecalative. Admiral Sampson is now in search of rhe Spanish fleet in "" the Atlantic, (or somewhere, nobody "outside of ?he proper authorities seem to know), and if he should destroy it as thoronghly as Dewey has done his . woik.itmav be that the end of the t . war will then be in Eight. - - SFAIX IS DOOMED. ; ^ r. Spain'* treuble with the United States i3 not kcr only trouble, and it is possible that it will not be her most serious trouble. Before the war began, it was manifest that the Spaaiih Government saw that it had to jfijht the United States to prevent internal disturbances at home. If the Government made a back-down then the dynasty was threatened with overthrow. Now it is apparent that there is a dangerous, ignorant and irre sponsible element in Spain that trill not be satisfied with war without victory. They hare been deceived by their Government into t'na belief that Spain is a powerfal nation, and that she cannot be conquered by the United States. "Long live Don Carlos" shouted on the streets of Madrid has as much terror for the Spanish Government as the thundering of Commodore Dewey's big guns. Shoats in favor of tbe resignation of Saga9ta are really fhouts that will soon turn into " "* - * *? *% - * * ' - !_L demands lor tne iau 01 me opamsu dynasty. Martial law has been declared. Kewspapers are forbidden to publish "news relative to any operations of war whatsoever." Public meetings and public demoastrations are prohibited, and all offenders wi'l be Tied by military courts. The suppression of war new3 in Spain, of course, will keep the populace in ignorance, and the Government will issue official lie3 of Spanish victories w keep uowxi su luiciusi ictujuuuu. Martial-law may stay the Spanish revolution fo: a time, bat the truth, of Spain's helplessness will be discovered ?Ov i;er or later by tbe populace, and in iheir indignation they will demolish the Spanish throne itself. Captain David D. Gaillard, of the United States Army, will be on Gen. Wade's jrsff. Capain Gaillard is a Whnsb.oro man, though he entered "West Point from Sumter County. He was living in Wiunsboro at the time, but his father Mr. Samuel I. Gaillard had jast moved to Samter County. Lieut. Davis, of this county, had just received the appointment for this Congressional District, and as he and Captain Gaillard were warm personal friends they were anxiop- to be at West Point tosether. Gaillard was | not then iwenty-oue years of age, and he went to Sumter and came out ahead in the examination over about twentyfive competitors. There was some opposition to his appointment on account of his not then being a resident of Sumter, but the Secretary of War finally decided that as his father was then living in Sa*ter Captain Gaillard was eligible.

"While, of coarse, it won! I be gratifying to us of th? S-mtli, if more Southern men ??ere appointed Major Generals and Brigadier Generals, yet considering the whole matter calmly, we think that the South has obtained abont all that it could reasonably expect. From civil life, tbe President has appointed four major generals, s.nd two of these were Confederate Genera!?, Lee and Wheeler. That nearly all of the higher of 'cerB should come from the regular *imy should cause no surprise. These men have been educated at "West Point for this very purpose. The objeet of the Government in eitablishing tbis military school was to train men in military 6cienoe, and fit them for service in time of war. They gave t&e oe?t of their -ervice daring life to the Government; they are ever studying and workiug to equip themselves for higher service in the army, and it i$ natnr&l that they should expect tha President to give them the preference when Major Generals and Brigadiers are wanted. Nor can we complain that the President has not gone belovr the rauk of lieutenant-colonels to mak 5 promotions. That there are many competent men below this rank and many in civil life, we hare 110 doabr, but there is not room for all, and some such rule as that adopted by the President had to be adopted. It is true that the South is not represented in the highest officers in the regular army, because during the civil war no cadets from this section were at West Point, and tuere has not besn sufficient time since then for oar graduates lo hs.^e risen to the higher ranks. This is the fate of circumstances, and we can not complain of it. If President McKinley hsd intimated that he would make numerous appointments from civil life, there would have been a scramble akiu to the disgraceful struggle for civil plums. Politics wonld have had a great deal to do with the appointments. In fact, a week ago, it *ae evident that the politicians were prepariog to siege the white bouse to seeure appointments for political friends. It is no time fir politics. GOOD ADVICE TO VOLUNTEERS. Capt. James D. Parker, of the Fourth U. S. Cavalry, gives some good advice to volunteers. "No man should enlist," he s-?ys, "in the resnlar army unless he is prepared to serve for the full two years for which be will have to enlist." It is not known when this war will end, and those who go must be prepared to stay the full two year*. It may end before two years, bat Spain is compelled to fight by au ignorant populace and it will take 9. long time for these blind people to discover tbeir n'ter helDlestness. Again, those with few family ties and no oDe dependent npon them should enlist rvtber than the man with a wife and a house fall of helpless children, or a eon who has a widowed mother, or any one dependent upon him. As Captain Parker says, "There is no good ground for making a charge of lack of patriotism or courage agaioat them if they decline to join the regular amy because they are so situated." If the soldier has those at home dependent upon him for a support, he will be filled with anxiety all the time about them, and this will rvxaafltr Aatraot frnm 1.19 V US S J UVV1WVV AOVtU XIV ? ?. J _ _ soldier. Then again, it is really a protection to the Government not to hare enlisted this clo^s, because it means greater pensions. U .married men killed in battle leive no widows to be pensioned. Eighty four members to the company is so much larger than onr regular malitia companies that evsry company that volunteered had to draw upon recruits. While Fairfield County has not furnished a full a> d distinct company, still ber sons are f and in several of the companie? fio ? other counties. There must be tweuty or twenty-fire men from this county among the accepted yolnnteer?. Some are in tfct Columbia companies, some in the Chester company and perhaps some in the Rock Hill company. The young man eager to volunteer will have a chance to get into the South Carolina Volunteer Regiment, if he will be prompt. A great many will be rejected because they do not come up to the physical requirement. For instance, in the Abbeville company ont of 106 men, 27 were rejected, or in other word* nearly one-fourth.

Mr. Editor: It was the custom a tew years ago when a fellow wished to run for office lo open hi9 campaign with a tirade of abuse of filaj. Woodward so the faithful might know he expected the 'upport of the Tillmanites. If the practice prevails now, it 1 eviucui wm Ridgeway will have two candidates but it ebould not be forgotten 'hat the days of gall and bitterness have passed, and that parties who run for office will hereafter hare to show character and qualification as well. I have personsonally known some whose people had been krpt from the poor house by his bounty, and others who had escaped the penitentiary by his kindly offices, to turn and sting him because he has had the manliness to spurn political position by not bowing to the domain of Tillmanism, for it is well known he could have gotten any office in the gift of the coun;v, ic not State, had he done so. Bat what of all this militia matter, v*hich it seems causes such a stir? It has been charged that the Fairfield companic-p were only formed at or about the lime of the Darlington war, and that tuuseqaently they carried tbcir rifles and ball cartridges?State property?to rh2 polls at the dead hour of midnight and secreted Ihem in houses nearbv, to be used en white men?having, in one instance at least, appropriated the arms aud accoutrements of perhaps the finest company in the State simply because tbey were unwilling to go go where they might be ordered to fire on their brethren. It is intimated further that having thus usurped control of tbe military duties of the State, they have not met the requirements of the situation, the expectations of the f.eople by coming up to the accuatomeJ action or toe county in war times. These charges are eiiher true or false. If true, tuev are part of the history of the period in which we are living and should be known; if false, th?y can and should be corrected and our militia made to occupy abetter position. I assume that every lawabidiDg taipa.ing citizen ha? a right to look into all public matters of State, whether political, military or otherwise, which touch his pocket, or effect his repu'ation, and no one has the right to assert that he transcends the bounds of propriety, or that he is bent upon mischief when he calls attention to ..mil T> nfion Hnna fn p.or eui;u ui<ibbvi9* JLW v rcct abuse and is productive of much &ood by making people put ou their studying caps, which must be dons ic all cases before charges can be made.

An English war coarespondent says that as to the courage of the American soldier there can be no doubt. Of coarse there are some cowards. Gen. Sherman says somewhere that 25 per ceat of men have not the necessary nerve for battle. If this 22 per cent is jammed into line it will ran?unless there are men behind it ieady to shoot the fagitives. For this reason the rear of the armies wa-- sometimes pick?tted during ihe war. The sentries allowed only the wounded to pass. But this does not impugu ?he valor of the Amarican private. There are cowards in every army. Oae man was drammed out of the ranks, though he was of good family, and bitterly felt uis disgrace. He contended, and ir was true, that under fire he was seized with paralysis and could noj mov3 forward; therefore he used to lie do^u. Such things happened in the Franco-Prussian war. A Cincinnn:. bank president says that during the rebel'ion he was in command of a picket squad at mid; ni^litwlieu "there suddenly came to us evidence that the enemy was upon us and about to attack. There was a di-chargeof musketry And I waut to oay that the first thing that struck me was the fact thai my legs were trembling very much, especially about the knees; io truth, so viobnily that I began to be rather leary about standing. Then the thought struck me, 'Thank Heaveu! it i? midnight, and nobody can see my legs acting as they are.' Through ail the numerous engageuienfs that my regiment was in it is a strange thing, but I had the same trembling and my face would (urn ashen pale. I never lost contral of my voice, howe e, peculiar as it ws?, <ind could deliver oaths as plainly as at any other time " Gen. Andrew Hickenlooper recen.Iy told this story to an interviewer: "On one occasion, after we had chased the encuay for some disiauce, we ciught up to them. That night at the council of the officers it was decided to move apon the enemy's camp' at daybreak. As chief of the artillery, I went over to the headquarters of the branch to notify them of the line of action. In my tent I found the commander of my old forces, who had always been a brave soldier and had ever shown him selfin front of bis artillery. He was An/1 Kta Ad very VISIUJV SiiC^ieu auu mo ao pale as death 'General/ said he, 'I have a favor to ask of you. I know that you will consider it strange -and peculiar, bat please let it pass and grant it. I feel that to-morrow I will bd killed, as I understand that we are to more upon the enemy. You know tny family and situation. Dot.'c think me a coward, but please hold my command back to the third iine ' I replied: 'I will do better. I wiil hold your company in reserve.'

Alston's scorea of friends-were delighted yesterday when they heard of bis appointment.

"The Governor ha3 never made a more fr.ting appointment Joseph K.

Joseph Kirkland Alston was born November 6,1860, in Fairfield County, S. C., near Monticello. He was the only child of William F. Alston and Susannah Cook, daughter of Gen. Phillip Cook, C. S. A. His nearest kinsman is a half-brother, now living in Greenville, S. C , William F. Alston. His father dieJ in 18G9, his mother in 1870, leaving biin with his half-brother, who became a father to him and has always baen hi-t truest friend. Col. Thomas Woodward, of Rockton, wa6 hi-' guardian and many of his younger days were speat with him. On both side* he is descended of revolutioaary ancestors, celebrated on the field of battle for gallantry, valor and discre* !_ tion. in every coumai iu wmcn ms State and nation have been engaged his forefathers bore a distinguished part, and South Carolina sends to Cuba ?if there the regiment goes -as her chief officcr a man native and to the manor born. Colonel Alston lores the flay uud9r which he is to fight and the fhg of the troops he is to lead. N His training and educatioB have been military almost entirely. The first school he attended wasPorter's in Charleston. He went from there to the preparatory department of Sewa. ;ieo university. The next two were at Col. Coward's at King's Mountain and the Carolina Military institute at CfcarA* 1 n r f nlo no Ka tttto o /%Ar JUitC. A I. LU1 o laoif uv C4 poral, and among his classiratea were Seoator John L McLaurin and :he Hon. John P. Thomas, Jr. From th^ Carolina Military institute he went to the "Virginia Military institute, generally known in those days as the West Point of the South. The military education furnished by this institution is not inferior to West Point. Tho curriculum is high, the members numerous and the discipline as strict as any military school in the country. Colonel Alston commenced here as a nrirate and voso gradually during his four year.s' course jhrough every grade of office, graduating as senior captain, the recognized head and leader of the s:udent body. Among his classmates, 1882, is tho present leader of the Alabama troops. Colonel Alston's first choice of profession was the army, bat at the time of his graduation, although promised it, he faile'l to get a second lieutenancy. His next choice waa the lav*-, and after a residence of two years on his plantation he read law under Henry Gaillard, E?q., of Winnsboro, and was duly admitted to the bar. He then moved to Colnmbia and for two years further pursued his studies a3 law clerfc in tne omceoi uuage oamuei W. Melton, who at that time bad one ot the largest practices ever held in this State- The firm of Alston & Patton was then established and has erer sine-; existed and flourished, commanding to-day a most lucrative and satisfactory practice, the two member* of which are rapidlv winning positions in the first rank of the lawyers of the State. Cclosel Alston immediately upon his return from school enlisted in the Gordon Light Infantry as private and was shortly afterwards made sergeant. Immediately upan his coming to Co lumbia he was elected janior second I lieutenant of the Richland Voluntedrs. At that -ime Childs was captain,Newnbam flrsi lieutenant and Henry Thompson .econd lieutenant. In 1888 he was elected first lieutenant! 1889 wai regimental adjutant, 1890 captain of the Volunteers, 1897 major and in 1898 colonel commanding troops from South Carolina in the United States volunteer army. In 1888 he was happily married to Miss Belle McUaw, of York?il!e, a great-granddaughter of William and Martha Bratton of Revolutionary fame. She has been the guiding star of his nsefcl life, that priceless pearl, a worthy wite, and a worthy descendant of the noble womanhood of South Carolina. When a discussion was bad in her presence as to the propriety of South 'Carolina furnishing troops for the Cuban cause, she spoke for it, and said: "I heartily approve Joe's action, and if necessary will accompany him to Cuba.-' Relief in Six Hours.
