In the last issue of the Carolina Spar tan we find the following: 44 On Thursday nijrht, qiiito a crowd of | old army friends and admirers, imcom pany with tho Cornot Band, called upon Gen. M.W.Gary, at theFiedmoiit House, and after serenading him, callod for a speech. The General with that charac teristic promptness, which lias marked his whole career, responded with a first rate speech, which was well received, lie complimented Spartanbnrg, the Cor net Band, and spoke in fitting and affec tionate terms of his old army associates, who hailed from Spartanbnrg, alluding especially to tho Palmetto Sliarp Shoot ers. Giving somewhat of a political turn to his speech-he spoke cheerfully of the futuro of the upper tier of counties be longing to the State, to which tho rest of the State looked for their Redemption from negro nile. Though the cares and 44 disappointments" of life, and the suf ferings of 44 the patriot," have left their marks, he is still ono of the 44 handsom est men in the State,*' and has lost none of that fire, force and vigor, which ren dered him fanions in tho past."

The voice of tho Past is moro in trudive and more tranquillizing than ho hot words and tho hasty conclusions f tho Present. Chatting, the ot'ier day, .ith an aged cit: ?or>, tho writer gathered aany ascrap of : nwritten history, which ught to be rescued from oblivion. Mr. sias Lanham, my informant, is well own in Edgefield as a citizen of great spectability. Firm and yet quiet, de* lcd and yet unobtrusive, he excelled Agriculture, accumulating a fino es e, and thus contributing handsomely he aggregate prosperity of his adopt State. fr. Josias Lanham is a nonagenarian, aving first seen'tho light, May 14, \ in Prince George's County, Mary d. Tho place of his nativity is a plan on on the Potomac, and opposite to sand ria, Virginia. Being appren d to a carpenter in that Town, ho had orrunitica to observo men and things 'euoral. He frequently saw Wash Ion. Tho General traveled jn a coach wu ny four horses, but he invariably eared'in the dress of a plain citizen, encver 44 the Father of his Country," ted Alexandria, he was saluted by firing of cannon. McKnights' Tav the favorite stopping place in Town he neighboring gentry, was almost .d to pieces by the big .Washington ?'Fire the cannon, men, and then with the President" was a pcrma order. On one occasion, it so hap d that the Town boys were unusu rude, thoughtless and foolhardy, .ding around the cannon which the were firing, one of tho little chaps, was a ring leader in all manner of hicf, was thrown upon his all fours ie concussion of tho charge Tho boy was bad ly scared, and the specta including many a fair face at the ;rn windows, laughed no little at his Infall. When Washington would home, the people of Alexandria [wed him 44 in swarms" to his carri taking leave of him in tho most Ilionato manner. His neighbors said the General was the most particular in the world, and yet they all liked When Washington died, the Church were rung for ia hours. Mr. Lan Ioften heard his mother say that she Mrs. Washington's cousin; laugh ?owcver, she would always add tho rk : " but that will never do me any n , ' ' I^nbain>^rMng badly treated in Iop7 ran array from his master oxandria, about the .year 1S?2. g immediately to Edgefield ina with his brother-in law Barnes, ed make three or four crops in nity of Mount Vintage.

Dut Whit i'ivolition malle, the cotton crop, a-s y-making product, b?at tobacco, 1. So the 44 weed" was soon elimi nated from the crops in Edgefield by the famous Saw Gin. When Mr. Lanham first saw Augusta about the year 1S03, nearly every build ing in the place was constructed of rough plank. In tho whole Town, bat 2 paint ed houses were io be seen,-one was oe cupied by Samuel Smith, and the other by Hogan and Carr. Hamburg had no existence then even in the brain of the most visionary speculator. There were two or three shanties at the flat landing on this side of the River. No bridges across tho Savannah in those days. No cotton or wool factories in all this section oT tho casontry. Spinning and weaving was the regular occupation of the women and girls. Schools were inferior, and not very numerous. At that day and timo, however, there was regular preach ing at Horns' Cree* Church, a: i clso at Hardy's Church. Edgefield was then a mere hamlet. The most of thc village property was i wned by the Simkins femily. Several fellows of tigerish pro clivities infested the vicinity of the new Court House in the early part of the 10th Century. Game was then pretty plenti ful. An old buck might be "jumped" in almost any thicket, if the huntsman was lucky enough to have a good hound. For 15 or 20 years alter tho Revolutiona ry War, the people were generally very poor. But they were not ba debt. Credit could not be alTorded by either custo mers or merchants. From Mount Vintage the view of tho surrounding country, the writer may be allowed to say, is eminently pleasing and picturesque, comprising certain elements of the sublime. Near at hand, field and forest, knoll and valley, are spread out before the oye in a beautiful variety. Far away, the Georgia hills, all stooped in blue and purple, nieot and mingle with tho sky, as if about to become t? nuclei of a new Paradise ! Mr. Lanham says that Mount Vintage was named improved and embellished by Richard Gantt, that keen, astute and brilliant lawyer, who was raised to the bench for his learning, virtues and r.bility. Mr Lanham thinks that Judge Gantt was one of tho best reasoners tho world ever saw. None of the lawyers could " wind him up" on any point. At one period j in his life, the Judge quit tho law, and j devoted himself to his plantation for two years. Making a very complete failure, ? as a planter, ho was laughed at a good deal by his neighbors. Gantt seemed to relish the jokes cracked at his expense, and said he'd be d-d if he didn't quit crabgrass and go back to the law, which he did with great success. At the close of the late war, Mr. La? ham did not owe a cent. In fact he kept out of debt by raising au ampio supply of corn and hogs on his own plantations. Even now he feeds his horses and mules with corn on the cob. He remarked that he had never learned how to feed stock on shelled cora ! Ho never held oflieo buf- once,-was for a while the Captain of a Militia Company, and then the epaulettes did not fall on willing should ers. He was christened a Catholic, but for a number of years he bas been a member of the Bar';-t Church. Moder ate and regidar ext ise with constant employment; temperance in all things; those havo always been tho prominent features of Mr. Lanham's philosophy. E. K. Interesting Bible Readings.

Tts Oriffin.-"Ye are of your fa ther, the devil, and tho lusts of vour father ye will do; he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in tho truth, becauso there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own : for he is a liar, and the father of it." John, g|44. HAnd tho serpent said unto the wo man, yo shall not surely die." Gen. 3.4, " But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thino heart to lio to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?" Acts, 5:3. From theso passagos of scripture it would seem that Satan is not only the author of lying, but that he told tho first one himself, and instigates others to tell them. We would naturally suspect that lying was a very bad thing from its ori gin. 2d. How God Looks upon it. "Lying lips are abomination to the Lord : but they that deal truly are his delight." Prov., 12:22. " Those six things doth the Lord bato : yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet (.hat be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and ho that soweth discord among brethren." Prov erbs, 0:16 to 19. It seems, then, that God hates lying. Zrd. How God's People pegaut it. fl bato and abhor lying) but thy Lord do I love." Psalm IIP:!??3. "A righteous man hateih lying: buta wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame." Prov. 13:5. " He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: ho that tollcth lies shall not tarry in my sight." Psalm 101:7. "Remove far from me vanity and Hes: give me neither poverty nor riches: feed me with food convenient for mo." Prov. 30:8. Naturally enough, from these passages, it appears that God's people hate lying, and pray to bo kept from it. 4th. Its Character is Pad. 1st. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." Exodus, 20:lt?. " Now the spirit speakoth expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from tho faith, Riving heed to seducing spirit? and doctrines of devils; Speaking Iles in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron." 1st Tim., 4:1, 2. 2d It lead? to gross crimes. "Hear the word of tho Lord, yo chil dren of Israel ; for tho Lord bath a con troversy with the inhabitantsof the land, becauso there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge ot God in the land. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break ont, and blood toucheth blood" Hosea, 4:1, 2. ?th. " It is Pelter lo be Poor than a Liar.1' " The desire of a man is his kindness, and a noor man is better than a liar." Prov.,*19:22. "Tho getting of troasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death." Prov., 21:0. Gt h. How Does Lying JSndf " And there shall in no wiso enter into it anything that defileth, neither what soever worketh abomination, or maketh alie: but tboy which "are written in thp Lamb's book'of life." Rev. 2':27. " For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoro-mongerx, and murderers, and Idolaters, and whosoever iovuth and luakilh j. iiu." Rev., 2?;15. " A false witness shall not bo unpun ished ; and ho that speaketh Hes shall not escap?." Frov.,'lffc5. ",Rut the fearful, *nd unbelieving, and tho abominable, and murderers, ami sor ' CHrers, aiid idolaters, and all liars, shall. ' havft.'.thfir part in the Iaku .which buru eth with tiro and brimstone: which is ' the second dentis." Rev.. ??1:8, . ?
