To tho Editor of the Observer: Below you have what Logan, the historian, has to say about the "hornsnake," somewhat abbreviated, but still tho gist of the matter. He lived at Greenwood, S. C., when ho wrote his history, in 1859, and Greenwood was then in Abbeville district (now county.) This is the county of your friend Major Hemphill, of The Charleston News and'Courier. He is no doubt familiar with Logan's History, and with the'character of the author, and, if need be, would vouch for the trustworthiness and reliability of his fellow countryman as a historian and maybe Lawson and the rest. He must, too, have heard of Capt. Thomas Parker and Mr. James Taggart gentlemen of the highest character in the community in which they lived. He kn6ws too. where the "Calhoun Settlement" and the "Cabins" are, or were. And among an, he claims to be somewhat of an authority on the alleged historical myths of the two Carolinas, as witness his denial of the genuineness of the Mecklenburg Declaration; of North Carolina's claim to the birth place of Andrew Jackson and his absolute conviction of the verity of Gen. Marion's potato dinner to the British officers. The hornsnake also seenis to 1)6 of a somewhat mythical character, whether such a snake ever existed, and had a horn on its tail, as a weapon of offence and de n.w.o ??,i it-. rnll??d like a "trundl ed-hoop." I understand the Observer to express decided doubts about it, especially the hoop feature, which it would doubtless spell "whoopee!" Now Major Hemphill may have some mythical lore on the subject of horned snakes, whether such snakes ever existed in .South Carolina, and if they did, wether they were "to the manner born" or crawled over from North Carolina where this "horned monester" is still said to exist. At least I think I read in the Observer of where a man had fo.und one in a fence corner, an old-fashioned rail worm fence no doubt, which might be expected to survive with and shelter such creatures At any ratethe Major will consent to ex- " prss himself in his excellent paper he wil have something very interesting andei)- i tertaining to say. Septuagenarian. , Bock Hill, S. C., November 3. , Extract from "A History of the Upper ( County of South Carolina from the- Earli- 4 est Periods." etc. pages 117 to 121, by JohnH. Logan, 1859: " Lawson, who traversed the same region, (upper South Carolina. )1 about seventy years earlier than the botanist (BartramJ describes another snake under the name of the hornsnake serpent, of a totally different character. Of the lirtrnennlroe ho save 'T novfir saw but tWO that I remember. ?hey are like the rattlesnake in odor, but rather lighter. They hiss exactly like a 'goose when anything approaches them. They strike at their enemy with their tail: and kill whatsoever they wound with.it wnich is armed at the end with a homy substancs, like a cock's spur. This is their weapon. I have it credibly reported, by those who said they were eye-witnesses, that a small locust tree, about the thickness of a man's arm, being struck by one of these snakes at 10 o'clock in the morning, then verdant and flourishing, at In the afternoon was dead, and the leaves red and withered. Doubtless, be it how it will, they are very venomous, I think the Indians do not pretend to cure their wouud.' "This singular statement of the old surveyor, in relation to the locust tree, could scarcely have ever come to the knowledge of the good but plain people living on Coronaka and Wilson creeks; yet there is still extant in that region a tradition, in which it is related that many years ago a man in the lower, part of the district, or in Edgefield, being closely pursued by a hornsnake, took refuge behind a tree, when the enraged serpent, rolling swiftly after him, like a trundled hoop, plunged its horny sting-deep into its trunk, where ! it was maae iasi,, ana ho uiiiubbu its voijulu into the .circulating sap as to destroy completely in a few hours, the vitality of the tree. **>.?, "Hewit informs us that the hornsnake ,was found in Carolina, and owned its name not to a homy excrescence growing upon its head, as some have supposed but to the horn-like sting at the extremity of its tail with which it defended itself, striking it with great force into every aggressor. It was also d<Jeme d exceedingly venomous: auu the Indians, when stung by it, did not resort to thoir usual antidote, but instantly cut out the wounded part, as the only safe preventive-of the deadly poison being infused through the system. (Carroll's Hist Col, p. 82.) "Mills, in his statistics, enumerates, \ among the indigenous reptiles of Carolina, both tne horn and bull snake. The former must, however, "have been exceedingly rare, for at a comparatively early period, it had.already become a creature of curious tradition. Lawson, it has been observed, saw but two of them as early as 1716, notwithstanding no white man of his day enjoyed better opportunities for making such discoveries in. Carolina. * * * '' One an afternoon nearly forty years ago a party of gentlemen were tiding from , lAh^Avillo Villnco towards the Calhoun I settlement, an^ when approaching the \ place, now known as the Cabins, they.passed a dwelling near the wayside, just at the moment when a little girl whom they had seen to cross the road somo distance before them, gave a piercing shriek, and ran hack into the house in an agony of pain and fright. Perceiving that something serioushad occurred, they hastily alighted to ascertain the matter, and entering the room found the child stretched upon a bed and already a corpse. She had lived long enough, howevor, to whisper to her mother that a snake had struck her jtvhile she was in the act of gathering firewood on the wayside. The party instantly sought the spot, and there discovered a large specimen of the hornsnake which they dispatched. The skin of this serpent was stuffed and preserved by an intelligent gentleujen of the neighbor- and it was long an objefct of great curiosity at (his residence, and afterwards at Old Cambridge, where it lust seen." ** Conversations of James Taggartand others. ? - . \ * Capt.
