The following circular letter lias been seul to ihe South Carolinacommissioners recently appointed by (lovernor Tillman: Columbia, S. May 0,18SM. Dear SirI am Instructed by Gen. Farley to inform yon that the Chickamauga Commission, representing the Slate of South Carolina, will rendezvous at Greenwood, S. C., on the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railroad, on Wednesday the 16th day of May, A. D. 1894. You are requested to be on time,as the parly will start on first train alter the arrival ol Its full quota. If anything should Interfere with your going notify us in time, so that, 11' possible, a substitute may be made. I am, very respect- ' fully yours, J. Gary Watts, AfiBlst't Adjutant and Inspector Gen. It will be particularly interesting to the commissioners to know that their expenses will be paid by the Stale. The Press and Banner is glad to note that Cm|?I. R. F. Mcl'aslHi),Co. H, liiih South Carolina Volunteers, has been chosen a member , of that commission. Ills appointment will be appreciated >>y his old comrades In arms. , The appointment is rot only a testimonial of his intelligence, but it Isaisoa tribute lo . bis soldierly bearing In one of the bloodiest , battles oi the war. j For the sake or the gallant men who faced the dangers of contending armies, as well as , for the commemoration of an event which Is not only historic lo the life of the .Nation, but ( Id the me or tieam oi me patriotic men wuu did their duly in the try log days of ltit>8, It is , to be hoped that the Captain may be able to ' identify the position ol bis old command. t and I heir comrades In arms, and tbat he maj . be able to mark the spot on which they . fought. Capt. R. F. McCaslan will faithfully repre- , sent hi? feilow-soldlers, and they hope that the lapse of more tbau thirty years may dim none of his memories of the field on which (he sublime and thrilling event occurred, aud in which contest he bared his own breast to , the storing of shot and shell I hat marked the , hills and plowed the valleys or Chickamanga's historic ground. While the names of the men who gave to the battlefields of Chlckamauga a historic glory may eventually pass out or memory, f yet their valor and their bravery wilt live Id . history alter the monumental shafts shall . have crumbled luto dust. The history ol Chlckamauga belongs to the . Nation, and it is but just that the spot on , which the supreme contest took pluce should . be identified and marked. Mo doubt on approach to the historic spot c Captain McCaslan's mind aud heart will be thrilled with emotions and memories whlob < could come alone 10 those who were there on . the 19th, 'JOtb and 21st of September, 1863. He will no doubt remember how be with v other members of the 19th S, C. V. lay on the hillside to protect the battery which was, v from the crown or the bill, doing its deadly ? work on the ranks ot the enemy. i will not inrtrBt that Manlirault's brigade k lay in range ot the enemy's shot and shell r that were Intended for that battery. He will out lorget that the boys remained under lire all that Saturday afternoon, and { ibut at the close of the day they lorded the e little stream, after which, with wet Bhoes and e damp clothing he and all the rest of that command lay down In the woods oo the bat f tierleld, surrounded by the dead and dying B soldiers of either army. The dead Confederate lay ne?r the wound- e ed Union soldier, and the lifeless form of the f Union BOldler rested beside the disabled Con- t federate. The shrieks of pain which came from the 4 wounded soldiers that night will reverberate B in his ears again. The line of battle on Sunday morning, the , heavy tiring on our right, the command to march upon the enemy, the shock of battle, ( be leaden hall that fell upon our ranks, the f dead and wounded that covered the battle ground as far as the eye could reach?all com- j blned to make a scene which will not be for- # gotteu by any who were there. t Of the commanding officers who were in the j oaiue, nt'any uu umo guue iu me uiyuuoi; ui tbe dead. General Manigault came borne and died honored In peace, hs In war. Of Colonel Pressly we bave beard nothing for years. LleUL-Colonel Porcher wan killed at MIsniou Ridge a few days after tbe battle of Cltlckamauga. Major J. L. White of tbe field officers Is living. In tbe Regiment were three Abbeville companies, "H," "1" and "G." commanded by Capt. R. K. McCaslan, Capt. Addison Clinkscales', and Capt. R. N. Chatham. Capt. Chatham was killed near Marietta a short time after Major Porcher lost his life at Mission Ridge. Capt. Ciinkwales died at bis home In thl* county, after the war, loved and respected by all. Of the company commanding officers, and tbe field officers of the 19th S. C. V. on that historic occasion only Maj. J. L. White, of Verdery, and Capt. R. F. McCaslan, of Ninety-Six, are living to-day, and it lx right that one of them sbould have gotten the appointment?Major White being the only field officer. and Capt. McCaslan being tbe only company officer from this county. Major White distinguished himself by bis y conspicuous bravery in the fight, and it Captain McCaslan needs any help, none could be more efficient than Major J. L. White.
