This club met last Friday night, 2d Instant, at the resldonce of Capt. L. W. White. Owing to the threatening condition of the weather, i there was not as large au attendance as usual,' but those who braved the elements were amp- j ly repaid for their pains In listening to Mr.; Graham's thoroughly instructive and histori-j cal essay on "Russiaand the Russians," and, enjoying Capt.?Mrs. White's delightful and : genuine Ice cream &c.

Decaying vegetables and aecuniu-: lations of debris and dirt are the seeds ofj1 miasmatic diseases. It Is now time, as the * warm weather has set in, for every eellar in '1 the country and in town to be thoroughly'! cleaned and limed. In faet, a cellar should j j never be allowed to get in an uncleanly con-i1 dition : and If a choice must be made be-!' tween the parlor and the cellar, clean the cat- j ] lar first, 'the doctor may lose, but you will gain by it. Residences that have no cellars' should have plenty of ventilation underneath'' and be kept perfectly dry and clean. We had the pleasure <>f meeting w sile In j Atlanta last week, MaJ. (Jco. \V.

Streams Widening.?'The first settlers in; this county said they found the witter courses narrow ,and deep, and overhung with eauej und shrubbery. In even the branches a canoe ] could be carried for miles. The hillside* were I covered with a stunted growth of cane. Since j the advance of civilization the streams have j been filled up and consequently widned.: while the destruction of timber lias caused! many springs to sink deeper into the earth j and .disappear. j Sii.k Worms.?About ."1823 (the cultivation of silk worms was extensively carried on in | this county, i?n-I the white mulberry trees,! now so abundant, were impt>rted to hear l--ave< to feed thein. .Some of the reels Uhcd } f'jr spinulng the thread can occasionally l>e i lo'iiul stored away ia I umber-rooms. Tills ! industry did n ? prove very profitable, and j witn the succe.vf ji production of cotton 'twas : abandoned. White Servants.?Soon after the war there wa< a great hue and cry raited in this county for white labor; bat it has subsided J into a quiet acceptance Jif the negro. ouri farmers now don't want any European labor, it won't suit the South und we won't snit| them. There is no doabt of the darkey being! thebest labor for the South, lie has his tail- I lngs, but then, too. he has redeeming traits. | Curiosity.?Last Monday Captain E.

Yesterday Mr. .lames shillit?! opened it and inside the large shell was found < an egg of the ordinary sizo, perfectly formed,1 ( encased in ordinary hard egg shell. This is! the first, instance of the kind, of which we j have any knowledge. The Hodges Depot Club held an interesting j meeting last Saturday at which eloquent and J patriotic speeches were made by Hon. D. \Vyatt Aiken, Capt. J. Jf. Cochran, Colonel W. A. Moore, Dr. F. F. Gary and Colonel H.I Z. Herndon. There was a large attendance,] and we regret not having an abstract of U>ej various speeches. Maj. W. J. Houston, the efficient, enter-1 prising and Intelligent Ticket agent of the; Air Line Railway Company, is an Abbeville j man. He was born near Calhouu's Mills, and : nays nothing would give hini greater pleasure j than to see his old home and friends, after au | absence of forty-flve years. Typhoid fever Is now regarded by our best j physicians as fllth fever, and in many cases! the immediate cnuse is lo be found in access of fifth of some sort to the well or place from which the water is obtained for domestic purposes, Jekf Lkwy and Obe Jackson in the Calhoun's Mills neighborhood got into a difficulty last Saturday about tneir sweethearts j Obe cut Jeff twenty-seven times with a knife, | Inflicting ugly wounds in the facc, arm, side etc. Death.?Mr. David W.

The taxpayers and citizens generally would do well to bear this fact In mind. Ovk friends Messrs.

The Antreville Democratic Club will meet on Saturday, the 17th Instant, for the purpose of reorganising. A full attendance Is desired. Colonel Cothran'b speech on Sale Day must have been rather discouraging to the few liads who were in attendance. Captain J. W. Porrin Is growing in popularity.

The nextannual meeting of the State Press Association Is to be held In Beaufort. The candidates furnished ice water at tome of their offices last Monday. Miss Sarah Perrin* and Miss darkle Cothran are off to Rome, Oa. Captain Hester Is now one of the strongest advocates of the Railroad. We have bad excessively hot weather for ?? day8' ' Dots by the Way. I left the Queen City of the mountain Greenville, which Is well named "Que? City." situated on either side of the beau til' Iteedy River, with lier water faces and fact ries. The tirst point of interest the cars < the Greenville and Columbia Railroad pa was Piedmont I-'actor.v,011 the beautiful haulof Saluda Itiver, about ten miles from tl; city, it is true out of sight of the UaiiroHi about one-half mile distant from the depo On a former visit to this factory I was struc with the beauty and grandeur of the place, 1 you leave the depot to go to the factory, yo pass a beautiful white church or chapel, bui for the use of all orthodox denomination! there you enter a broad street, that lies bi tween two long lines of tenement houses, o either side are beautiful shade trees, walls, A-i You pass around the hill past two well stoet ed stores, until you reach the oiliceot thefai tory. On this high hill, which Is in theccntr of the town, there is a neat hotel kept by th superintendent for the accommodation < travelers. There is also a beautiful dweilin house, cottage style,about tiftyyards from I li hotel, on the same hill, you have a mugnitl cent view of the factory, tenement house: and the river, you can see from this point An dcrson Court House, Wllliamston and th City of Greenville. I will now give you a d< scriutiou of the factory. It is four stork high, it has two hundred an J forty 'L'lflj loom: ten thousand six hundred and seven ty-tou (10,<i7-lj spindles, The stock holders last sprin increased their capital from three htindrc and thtrth-four thousand ($ '! '!!,n:n)) dollars t live hundred thousand lodli.OOO) dollars. Tliel able and e.'licient President, Col. H. P. Hani inett, superintendent A. It. Steele, and dlre< tois are now building another large mill abou the same size of the present one. when com pleted the two mills combined will hav twenty-three thousand i^'t.dOO) spindles, an tlvc hundred 'fiiKJ.i looms. The capacity of th yarn mill 1* equal to two hundred additiona looms, which makes the mill e<ilist 1 to a mil of seven hundred looms. They also havo tire extinguisher with pipes running al through the mill, that will extinguish the lir when the heat rises to lti."> degrvss. You ca deluge tlie whole mill with water in .1 few sec onds, this extinguisher cist five thousani (/i.000) dollars. It is decidedly the finest Iocs tionand water power on the river, althougl there are four more down the river, not es cccding twenty miles (town to Mr. Malcoti Erwin'smiil which is equal, if not better w;i tor power than the last four. It was a grew oversight in the surveyors of theGreenvili and Columbia Hail road that they did not rui the road up the river on the west side, beyom the Piedmont Factory before crossing, am then the passengers could ln?ve full view o the factory, which I have so feebly attemptei to describe. I have often been asked by pas Bengcrs, where is the 1'ielinont factory? would now advise the stockholders of th firi-envilleand Columbia Ituiiroad and tin fictory to run the road there now, as the seen cry on the river, is tar superior to the liudsot river of New York. This river should bi called thclluilson" of the South. The next point of Interest on this road I Willlamston, noted for her tine minera water. Female College, churches aud accoin modating merchants. Next in order is the town of Helton, note* for its good hotel and uood merchants. The next point is Honea l'atli, a busines little town In quite a thriving condition, scv nral new stores going up, or are spoken of be ing built. Next is Donaldsville, situated In a beautl ful grove, with her quota of merchants am hotels. And now. conies the town of Hodges at tin |unclion of the Abbeville branch, there stopped until the up train came up. I wen itrouttd to the stores, to pass the day as p eas finny L could, all the old men had gone a iish ing and the young nieu were playing marbles Since they havestopped the license of liquor theboreofallevil.it is quite a rcspectabli town with her new passenger depot, u goo< hotel and a good well of water. And now X come to old Abbeville, the ter minus of tiie branch road. .She is noted foi her able lawyers, ju Iges, merchants, doctors Hue schools, churches, flower gardens, Urn houses, good society, sober young men, am last but not least, her pretty and accomplish ed women. There are published here, two o the largest weekly papers in the State, tin Press and Banner and the Medium. The for mer ably edited by Mr. Hugh Wilson, tin best local editor in the State and Col. II. '1 Wardlaw the talented and gifted young edl tor. and the latter paper by Gen. It. K. Hemp hill the brave and eloquent lawyer. There i also a tine carriage factory run by Messrs Seal a Mellwaine. The merchants all seem t< be doing a thriving business, judging Iron what I saw in a few days. The Court Housi ottlcesareali well filled by competent men Tuereare four hotels in the town, well kept n!id I think they are doing a smashing busi ii'.ss. but 1 can't tell which way i hey an smashing. TltAVELtR, ? Railroad Talk from a Xoi.ut Carme Standpoint. Major f.ee, who has 1 .con employed for th< Inst six weeks in making surveys with thi view to ascertaining the most practical routi for the Savannah Valley liailroad has Jus completed his work. He surveyed three sev lTuI routes with Anderson Court House as th< starting point and intersecting the AutrusU md Knoxville Railroad at Triekem, a poin known as the "Post K<md," and "Mount Tuhoi L'hurch," respectively. The lirst of thes< routes is designated, in order to (list inguish ii from the othersf as tho "Dradlcy lU.uU:'' as ii is strongly advocated by Oipt. Hilly Bradley the second as the "Calhouns Mills" or "Mars' route, and the third as the "Mount Carmel' route. There is very little difference in tlx length of tiie different roules?ranging its thej ilo, from-jl to-V miles from Anderson to tin Intersection of the Augusta and Knoxvilh Ifcud. It is pretty generally conceded, how. ;ver. that the Mount Carmel route, notwith standing it is a few miles longer than the oth r two that is if the object he simply to inter sect the Augusta and Knoxvillc road: is mud ;he more practicable route, as the {Trading is nucli lighter than on the others. The friends :owever. of tin- Mount Carmel route hold thai :he object Is not simply to intersect tlie An ;ustu and Knoxville road, as such, hut thai the objective point is Augusta, and that beinj Ihe case, theirs is the shortest, stralghtost am heapest route. In order that this may he tin Jerstood I will state that nt Tabor church, th( point at which the Mount Carmel routostrikci [lie Augusiu aim lMio.wme nmu, uiu sunn makes a bond in the direction c;f Augusta al most at right angles. It Is believed by ever} r?ne In this section that the city of Augusta upon whom depends very largely the eojnple Lion of the Augusta and Knoxville road, ii i Is ever to be completed. will soon fi'c if shi has not already seen, that it will be much nion to her interest to contribute what she woult luivo l<> contribute. In order to the rompletlot of KaiU from Tubor church lotini-mvoiid to the Savannah Valley road, and t hus Insuri Lhe completion of a road which will trnvcrsi the best cotton and grain growing portions o Abbeville and Anderson counties and whirl will be an important link in tbat grea through route from Knoxville to the sea eoas which has been so long dreamed and talked o l>y our people. If this plan should be carriei out. which is confidently counted upon and t< which some events which have transplret lately seem to point (for instance the chang ing of the name of the Greenwood and Augus la road to that of the Augusta and Knoxvilli road : of course that part of said road from Ta bor church to Greenwood will be discontinue! and the road from Augusta to Anderson push ed forward vigorously to completion and hi known by the high sounding and signillcan name of the Augusta, Knoxville anil Savan n.,1, \-..ll..v Ifnilrnnil Thill u-ill I,., n i>r?i blow to Greenwood to thus see the prize, fo which she has so long and so zealously striv en, elude her grasp, and that too at a momtn when she Mattered herself It was almost with in her reach. Hut such is life. The good boo) says "Man Is prone to disappointment as tin sparks to lly upward," than which thero i nothing truer. She might draw some com for however, in contemplation of the lact thu she at least set the ball in motion. It is confidently expected, once the Pa van nah Valley road is a foregone conclusion, it completion placed beyond a pcradventurc that Abbeville will awake to her true intei ests and will take measures looking to a eon neetion with said road at some eligible point and thus secure a competing line and no lonj: er be at the mercy of the Greenville and C.Y luiubia Railroad. All these plans are ver; nice and, if carried out, would at least be i great convenience to the county, but I mus confess I am not as sanguine of their fulfill inent as are most others in this section an for that reason I am regarded as An old Fogy. + Bordeaux Notes. Bordeaux, July 3, isso. I have Just returned from Elbert Court Hous Georgia, gravelling from Bordeaux to Mai tox's ferry on the way to Klberton, I sa> strong indications of anew railroad. The crops between here and Elbertou ar very good. Mr. Wesley Cowan has a daughter who pick ed 210 pounds of cotion when sue was only tei years old. The young ladles of Bordeaux have requesi ed me to suite thut there will be a grand entei taininent some time in this month at Libert, school house.

Bradley, and McClain to fin nish the music. >1 sea Mcintosh, and Mis Ijiura Fisher will be with us on that night, a they are visiting relations in Bordeaux, an you know when such belles as they and thos of Bordeaux unite success must certainly fol low. A lively and interesting debate will tak place this evening at 1 o'clock between Mr. J K. Watson and Mr. Jatnes A. Harmon, j large attendance both of young ladies an young men Is expected. Capt. E. Cowan has been round to take th census, and I think he asked every questio that could have been asked, except how man tliesand gnats we had. The crops are needing rain very badly i present, and If they do not get it soon the will be exceedingly short. We are sorry toinforin our friends that Mis Janle Walker, of Mount Carincl, Is no inor< having died after a lingering illness. Mr. James Carol has commenced his nc< route. He has carried the mail lor three yeai and the people are so well pleased with bin that It would be almost impossible for us t give him up.

The forenoon 'H was fearfully warm. About I o'clock the city I w:w vivitc.l Iit [i iIi'CM.ir.i! rain Iwlnil anil hail *' storm, the damage resulting from which was ^ | manifested principally at tin; Penitentiary. y The usual rules ami re^ulatIons governing ttie institution were suspended on account of its, s- hein.'a holiday. .Superintendent Lipscomb '* had had rolled ted in the second story of liie H new machinery hail lately eroded in the inclosure, all the convicts, except twenty-one in Is the hospital, and eleven women. At the time the storm arose'in convicts were in the sec' ond story of Machinery Hall, under guard of I the usual detail. Without premonition, the " cyclone struck the inclosure, sweeping away ? the entire third siorv of Machinery Hall, emr bracing all tour walls, roof ami rafters. The building was three stories In height, one liutitired and fifty feel in length, and tifty feet in II width. The entire third {story was swept away by the Corns of the wind, the bricks, rafters, Ac., be.ng carried over the wall of the " yard, knocking ii down, and all the debris, V "lieing carried in and bevond tlic Canal, some I. even being lodged on Islands in the river. 11 At the time of the cyclone one of the guards, " whose sentry post, was within twenty-five " yards of the demolished building, was so ? blinded by the dense rain that he did not see I' the building when it fell. Assoonas the disaster became known Col. Lipscomb dispatched 11 a messenger for I >r. Trezevant, the surgeon of f" the institution, who very soon arrived,and expressed the opinion that if any persons were under tlie ruins death must have ensued, and " it would, therefore, be better to direct altc-n'* 'Hon to the injured who had been picked up af' 1 ter havinir iuinued from the second storv win l* dow. 1 As previously stated, all the prisoners In the I Penitentiary, except women and sick, were in l. the second story; and it was impossible, by reason of their number, forthem to escape by II the i-talr.-a.se leading to the story below. " When the first intimation of danger became 1 apparent to the unfortunate occupants of the e doomed building, but few of them had sutll-j - ci(/nt presence of mind to try to escape. There: " were but two or three white men among the 1 number, and all were So frightened that the| - opportunity to effect their escape did notseem to have been thought of. Of the whole num? ber in the hall but fifteen or twenty were en1 aided to escape by the regular avenues. The " whole party were pauiek-stricken, and the . majority of them made no eflbrt to escape by ' the staircase,but threw themselves headlong | out of the second story windows. When I>r s Trezevant examined those who were tints in* " jured, he made the following report of costr allies: liouknight,;colored of Abbeville, left lc? bro; ken above ankle, lie having Jumped on a J pile of lumber. Sam Dickson, white of Chesterfield, contu . sion of scalp and nose, lip and skin seriously } cut. by glass duing his plunge through the window. (Jeorge Williams, colored, of Charleston, * scalp wound and leg sprain., ; Alfred Roof. colored, spine seriously injur* ed by fall of timber. The only one injured in f this manner. 1 Hubert Johnson, colored, of Richland, leg and groin sprained. * Just as early as was practicable after the cyclone bad passed. Col. Lipscomb, who was ' .present at the lime, summoned the entire I guard of tiie Penitentiary to prevent the cscape of convicts, the wail of the yard having " been blown down in several places, 'aflordln*' the amplestopiiortuulty for thecseape of all e the convicts. 15ut no attempt was made. All the prisoners were confined to their cells; r and it will be necessary to iucrease vigilance * -until the damage an be repaired. The results of the ktorui were felt in portions ot the * city, but nothing serious is reported. > ffiRRFlfiTTI,ARITV IN' FI NDING J BANK OF THE STATE BILLS. ' Arrest of Alexander Langhlin, the ?

[iVcif* and Courier.] Coi,i*Mf?iA, July 1.?At n late hour last, night a well authenticated rumor reached me that certain Irregularities had been discovered in a department of the .state government iiere, which could only be determined by a Judical Investigation. This morning It was generally known that Commissioner Colt, who is charged with the set I lenient of the bonded debtot the Stale in accordance with the decision ol' the Supreme Court of the State, and also with the funding of the bill* of the Hani: of the State, under a recent act of t e Legislature, had made an aflldavit before Trial J ti.-tkc t ickling, charging Alexander C. l-anglin with grand larceny, in that he had unlawfully and with fraudulent inlent appropaiated to liis own use certain bills of the lJank oi'llie S:Ue present e 1 to the special Commissioner for funding under the act rf IsriKi'i. Theatlidavit cited the dates and amounts of bills wiiichit had been discovered were missing upon acl iserexamir.aiion made by Col. Coit, witn <be assisUvuce of other experts iu tlnauciiil mailers.

The latter act provided for an ex. pert lo examine the hills presented and de. terniine between their validity or Invalidity. i> It was impossible for him to examine them .I a.l in person, because the elimination of the j tainted from the spurious or counterfeit bills . was involved.

The packages were tied up In y | brown paper, and all corners sealed with wax n j and stamped with a seal specially made for :t the purpose. I- The first inthnitlon that things, were going J | wrong was on the -.H.h of June, when Governor Simpson sent for witnes and said that he had been informed that there was suspieiclons that irregularities existed In connection with funding the bills. Governor .Simpson also stated that there was a certain package that did not contain a number of bills corresponde Itig wltu th'< endorsement on the face of the t-! package. The Governor said he hud heard v It thonightbefore. Witness went to the State i'rta>urer and told hiin that he desired to c make an examination of certain packages. Just at that time it was not convenient to make an examination, but witness afterwards 11 madean examination In the presence of the Treasurer and Mr. Martindale. I'pon the t- count the witness did not tlnd the bills tocor - respond with the amount certified on the y face ot the package. The package said to *, contain $2,010.31 was found to contain $1,010 c 11?. He found nothing further. -Mr. Coitstati-| ed that six htndicd thousand dollars of bills had been counted, sealed and certified, for r- which only about 8160,01*) In bonds hud been is issued. To recount the bills which had been s counted by Laughlin, wonld require fully d three weeks and would take tlve experts. A e I recount would not involve an examination 1-! Into the genuineness of the bills. In the aross-examlnation by defendant's e | attorney Mr. Colt said that Laughlin had no 1.1 regular assistant in his work.

Up to the 5th of a In no witness had two assistants In his olllce. ii1 Li t' Ilagocd ami II. M. Davidson. The latter y kept the key of tlie snip.

That a bond of $5,000 would be a mockery of justice. He d J asked t hat ihe Court would tlx the bond at tr ; not less than 8100,00).

THE COUNTY CONVENTION. ipeech of Colonel Cothran?List of Delegates and Alternates. Last Monday the County Club met in the ! jurt House at eleven o'clock, Colonel James !. Cothran, County Chairman, presiding. Jpon calling tlie Convention to order the roll f Clubs was callcd ntid a full delegation mind to be present, the President said: Gentlemen of (he Convention: It Is gratify" Mir to see so large an attendance of delegates' nd so many of our fellow citizens .present* 'hcofojcct. which I had In ca'ling this meeting, ras for the purpose of nominating delegates i > t lie Congressional and.ludleal Conventions,! had hoped that the Civil would have been) lade before this time, but as yet, no call has j een made. I had supposed from the deularalonsoftheStn!e('onvcnllon. that.;these conent.lons would have been called sooner, but j u far no action has been tulcen. It Is not miss to have your lamps tilled und|trlmled, and your delegates elected, prepared n'theConvenllon when they shall bcordered. t is now sixty days since we l:vst met at. this lace. Those sixty days have been fraught Ith events, tiio moves on the political chess lard have boon most Important.

Furierdolay,lt was thought, would not have lade greater unanimity. Since the meeting f the.State Convention, the National Dem- l craticConvention has met and put forward j s our standard bearers, Hancock and Engih.asyou are well advised. (Applause.] I do I ot. think in the history of politics, that any < omlnation has met a more hearty approval. ' he Kates seem to favor us at last. The work I f the Slate and National Conventions, has iven universal satisfaction throughout the 1 mgfh and breadth of the Union, fne Con- ' entlon at Chicago made nominations. It is < icir funeral?not ours. We will not nrticlpatc as mourners. As they play le Dead March wo will play Dixie. [Ap- ; lause.l The policy of the National Repub- ' can party seems to severely Ignore Southrn Republicans and to eliminate and take lit the colored man as a factor. As politiians, they have proved a failure, and are ow left to their best friends, the people who irroundthem. If they do not antagonize, we ' re a unit In politics. Every Interest is the iiiip. They work in our fields, they live in ] nr houses, thoy cook for us, they take care . r our children. The treatment of the negro by the National epubllcan party shows that they are not reing upon him. The great struggle will be forth of Mason and Dixon's line. Pennsylunin, Ohio, Indiana, New York, is where the lttle will he fought. South Carolina is in a mdltlon of peace?serene peace. It is not i >rn apart by dissensions among her own peo- i le. Four years ago the Democratic party was t party of promises. Now, In looking back, Is clearly to be seen that the Democratic ; irty Is a party of performances. All that it j to,, nrnmispii has been performed. What 1 ere its pledges? Was It honest government id home rule ? Have not the State expenses sen greatly reduced? Has not South Carol!fi had an honost government ? If she has, ave we not fulfilled all our promises? We ild we would bring peace and restore good J cling. Now, I appeal to every man to bear ! istimony if this is not an accomplished relit. The colored people are living peacably, onestly and industriously, and the fields are , ?ing cultivated with profit. Woe unto the lan, or set of men who would disturb these easant relations. fApplause.J We can't afrd to have them disturbed. We will not i low them to be broken up. fApplause.J An ' d man In speaking to me in his own peculiar 1 ay, expressed It very forcibly when lie said, we have thrown off the yoke, and don't In- ( nd to put It on again." We have given them , better government than they ever nad. Then hat could be the motive for disturbing our iaceful relations? Is 1L the welfare and peace 'the county? No. And It cannot be so. We e the governing force, and we do not intend i yield. It Is not arrogance ill me to say that e posjess the virtue, the intelligence,and the jility to rule. Wc have got the government id we must hold it at what It is. No man or ' it of men can afford to disturb, the present i ^siruble condition of affairs. lJfllce seokera J id holders of olllcc, arc In the proportion to ic mass of voters as one to a thousand.

The spirits of'7b will blaze at a < loment's warning, and we will all fight aider to maintain liberty and freedom, i>m we did to achieve It. And If tno occa- i on oilers the man or men will come as In '76 ' )ing the-r whole duty. It has been claimed > a great many persons In South Carolina, , lut they were the means of delivering the late. The claim is true. Every man who is made the claim, and worked with us, savI the State. It Is equally true of ie.i thou- < md others who have never set up the claim.

I allude to those who left their lodder < slds, pioeured their red oats, cold bread,and ' t meat and started out not to speak, but to orb. The deliverance ol the State is due as uch to those who never spoke a word as to lose who appeared on the hustings. The en who went where duty called them, and , aid there.

McGowan, of South Carolina, ommanded a brigade in tbe Confederate serIce at tho battole of Five Fork and during lie movement that preceded that engagelet. Gen. McGowan was educated at Went 'olnt, and served with distinction during the lexlcan war, where Gen. Hancock, then sccnd lleutenat. was one of his trusted subordllates. He has a tall, burly, powerful figure, n affable manner, and the quick, decisive umperament ofa soldier. After being sworn, ?en. McGowan first gave an account of the enerai movement to protect the White Oak oad In which the series of Confederate disasers that ended In Loo's surrender commencd. He did not recollect the available force f his brigade, but ho did not think It exceedd I,ii00 effective men. Gen. Robert E. Lee rdered the witness, on the day before the attle of Five Forks, to take his own and Jen. Grade's brigade,and try to find the poslion of Gen Warren's right fiank, Ho wus old that there was a little hill on tho Boyrl011 plankroad from which he could mated out Varrens position. Witness,accompanied by Jen. Bushrod Johnson, rode forward and alned the top of the hill for the purpose of tscoruilnlng the position of Gen. Warren's orce. Hi* orders were to roll up the Federal eft and uncover the White Oak rond, the posesslon of which was necessary to Gen. Lee's dans. His troops were consequently formed lerpenillcular[not parallel J to the Federal Ines.

Lee and himself were talkng together when word was broujjht to him hat their lines had been broken by tho advance of Gen. Miles upon their left, slmulaneously with this, the Fifth Corps came on o the attack again, and they retired slowly >cfore It, making frequent stands, until alnost sundown, they withdrew behind their vorks, and the conflict terminated.
