Gen. Gary In Spartanburg.
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."

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.

Subject-Lying.
1st. 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, . ?
It is therefore clear that lying oxeludes 11
from Heaven and shuts up ba HelL 1 !
