He was a born agi 4ator and to him perhaps more than any other mau the anti-slavery cause was indebted for its impetuous prog ress and vital enthusiasm. Ile was its prophet and oracle for mauy years and the South had no bitterer or more unrelenting los. He waa bold ?nd arrogant and full of venom, but hon est and sincere, according to hi? light. He had no taint of hypocrisy about bim-.-..The Union and Constitution were as'nothing' compared with the freedom of the negro, and bia mos biting invectives were 1 tterly hurled at the Republican par ty., because ol its presumed treachery to its mission. He waaJaccustomcd to compare the Constitution to an acorn planked in a flnyor.pnr .Jj,, jae said, the aCOrD doe?s not .grow the flower pot will sur vive.'' Ir it germinates and takes mighty root, the flower pot will be broken into fragments. There are many persons who believe that the flower-pot has been indeed smashed. John Randolph had expressed the same idea in different language and with a more powerful figure of rheto ric. " A fig for your Constitution," exclaimed the orator of Roanoke, "the sword will find its way to the bowels of the Constitution!" In some respects, the Virginian and the Massachusetts man were strange ly alike. Of late. Mr. Phillips, has irritated his old Northern friends by jeering them, in his matchless style, with having allowed the South to conqaer the whole country in the forum of reason, and he poured gall and worm wood in tittie? wound thus created by declaring that the seat of future em pire was to be io the. land of cotton and not in that of corn and buck wheat. For there and similar utt?r anees directed afr the self-lo??-of the East and West he Was tartly rebuked by partisan newspapers, but his apolo gy waa alwty?; viorse than the origi nal offense. And now, because of these lastivords, her?s said by latter day ???j,;:r:c??' Taints t ol? ave '"lived at. ?eWtwerky'-yrtnv-tfwlo?g." Judg ed by 6uch a standard, he did in deed, like only too many othtr il lustrious persons, survive himself. ?Gaug?d by such narrow human mea s?rement, Napoleon should have died at the Kremlin, iustead of on " a lone barren isle in the wa<?le of the j ocean.^BuJ^He who, permits men to j become1 fambWdoes not hesitate also, at times, lo* re??irve the mightiest les wm-fer tb* last. - Toe voice from St. Helenai sombre instructive th in the ?)f:{ o? artillery at Alister Iii z.

Cavalry, by Capt. J. J. Buch. CHATTER IX. Early on the morning of the 7 Sept., we were ordered to Petersbu: to secure transportation on the Soot side Railroad for G2 head of hors to be taken to pastures near Lyne burg to recruit. We get the hors on the cars late the same evenir and leave Petersburg at 6 A. M. ( the 8th, and reach Lynchburg at 1 o'clock at night. We had 8 mee assist in taking care of them, on! G. W. Crawford of Company B. 0 our way to Lynchburg we see abm d?nt signs of Wilson and Kants who we had met, the latter part of Jun at Stony Creek, and brought to grie They had so completely destroy? Burkesville by fire, that we did nt recognize the place, though we ha camped tuero in May before. A Burkesville, the Richmond and Dan ville roal crosses the Southside roac The country from Burkesville is ver, broken, and it is deep cuts and big embankments continuously. Ju9t before reaching Farmvitle w cros3 the tallest bridge we ever saw it ?3 on the head waters of Appomat tox. At Farmville we buy G ema! sweet cakes, for which we pay $2 OC The cars furnished are very nea worn out-one horse broke througl and fell between the cari, aeveral car pess over him but none are throw: off, but we get a good shaking up As soon as day light appears, (on th? rrorr.ing of the 9th) we get cu: horses off the cars and go up into th< town, and find the streets paved wit! a hard smooth stone, like Richmonc and Petersburg. The place is veij broken-high mountains looming ur. near by, on the north and west. Th< large tobacco warehouses here remind ns of the cotton warehouses of Ham burg, of a former.day. In our stroll through the town we find a good looking hotel and we feel the need of something to renew the inner man, so we go in and find a nice substan tial meal, for which we pay $10 00 After disposing of our horses we hunt up the Post Commissary, who in formed us that he only g-ive as ra tions one and three quarter pounds of flour per day, and a little salt-no meat. On Sunday the 11th, we spend most of the da? with Maj. Spann Hammond. We visit him at the re quest of Capt. Gvegg. It is indeed a pleasure to recalj our vjsit to thin noble Carolina gentleman and his pleasant, pious lady. His home was on the north side of the James, and though, probably not more than two miles away, we Buppise was some 200 feet above-it was a charming sp ot. A large brick house in a beautiful grove; two or three miles to the south is the pretty little c:ty of Lynchburg in fuli view-the mountains to the north and west are near, and look grand to us, and we never look upou these, monuments of nature but we are re minded ol' the beautiful descriptions ol mountain scenery as given by Headiy, in his 11 Sacred Mountains." Bull have wandered far from my subject. We weigh whilst at tl 's place and find we have reduced in weight 32 lbs. since we left home in May. On the ltitb, we leave Lynch burg with a lot of horses for our Brigade which is now commanded by Gen. Dunovant. We reach Peters burg at night and remain on the cars till morning. When passing through town we meet the largest and finest lot of cattle we ever 6aw before or since. On inquiry we are informed that Gen. Hampton had taken his bu gry boys and drawn on Gen. Grunt's Commissary, to the amount of about 2500 choice beeves, beside a great many other necessaries, and an eutire regiment of the enemy. Some of Company B were in thia expedi tion. Only those who were weil mounted were taken on this pleasure excursion. At this time our camp is S miles 60uth west of Petersburg, near Bur gess' Mill, at and Lear which place we remain for some time, our pickets having occasional encounters with the enemy. (Now we will have to depend upon a treacherous memory [to complete our History, as our let ters have been misplaced or destroy ed ) About the 20th Oct. we obtain a sick lurlough of 30 days. On reach I ing our native State we are surprised j and delighted at the attention be j stowed upon the sick soldiers ; at Chester the cars are boarded by quite a number of ladie3 with vessels ot nice so .p and bread, and freely dealt out to them-this was not con fined to Chester, but at almost every station moro or less nourishments were distributed-at Orangeburg a long table was well supplied with fried chicken, fried potatoes and many other sub-tantial dishes, free to the soldiers. These demonstrations, ^ith the exprefsions of soldiers from other State?, in regard to the devotion of Carolina ladies, fill us with emotions that no pen can describe, and we hope that there may be found a W. G. SimmB who will at least gather some fi agments of their noble deeds and place them on record, for doubtless many who thus fed the sick and hun gry soldier, deprived themselves and families of what they were gre need of. CHAPTER X. Whilst we were at home, tl of October or early in Novemb enemy, just at dawn of day, di our picket's and was soon i camp, forcing back our Brigad? ing with great detei carnation, engagement lasted most of th and our army lost heavily. Williams of Company B, was tally wounded. We do not rem of any others. The gallant Nettles of Company F, was and Gen. Hampton's son Prtstoi we believe it was in ibis battit Gen. Dunovant was killed also, engagement was near Burgees' On the 2u:h Nov. we return I command. Tney were near the wa had left them. A few ?aye we move near Stoney Creek de] order to be abie to obtain eu] with greater facility. We had at this camp only a few days we are ordered off at short n Tbe Federal Gen. Warren, witl entire Corps was moving down Petersburg and Weldon Rai ind we are lu rried away to ihead of bim-the weather ia sold and cloudy and we contimii march until a late hour at night, the next day we have sleet and i enough to cover the ground some ar three inches deep-it is the ding of the etcond day when reach Hicksford on the Mehi river-we go into camp just soul :he town and our Bufferings are great, for we left camp withou morsel of provisions, nor had.we ;ained anything up to that time, jen. Hamptons Cavalry had c ?ur whole duty ; we had gotten idvance of Gen. Warren and we pected to have some lively work ?ext day, as we had learned, 1 3en. A. P. Hill was in his (Warre rear. Sometime before day we are re ;o move and Bee the heavy clo hat still bang over us lighten1 up he enemy's camp fires. - As soot tis light enough to see we move ;he direction of the enemy's ca: ind move and halt, and mcve i lal t the entire day, only exchang i few shots wi th the enemy. We 1 i s ten ed all day to bear the roar Sen. Hill's guns, but he never fire ;un that we know of. That ni ,vas spent around the .fire, roast ?orn^w^?c^v^^ nd left three days before but thc ire no rations there-our Commissi v.th his wagons has steered iway fro a U9 and we have to aw lie return. A member of Company B tells ie knows where some ?weet p?tate ?an be had at $2 00 per bushel. \ lave one.$2 00Conf?d?r?e bill whi ve hand to him and hurry him c i distance of Beven mileB. (We i ;ret we do not remember who tl :omrade was.) He returns in re ?onable time and we have them dn led among our company and in :uort time wo are stowing them awa >at find our jaws so sore from grim .ng corn the night before that it painful to eat even potatoes. Whiiht at Hicksford a great mai North Carolina State troops come jn the cars, they had come at sho notice, and be it remembered to the credit, they had come legardless weather, equipments or apparel some were poorly clad and mat barefoot. The enemy had torn i several miles of the Railroad trac which rendered it necessary for ti Cavalry to move to some point nei where uur supplies could be had fro the cars, so we are moved to nei Bellfield which is on the north ban of the Meherrin river. We remember that whilst.at th place Cipt. Gregg is Acting Adjt taut-General, Lieut. Ward is Actin Quartermaster. it. Bauskett with Gen. 1 , v o too are eei eral of our Company,) on the coast i our own State, and we are in com maud of the Company. On the 16th or 17th of Jan. 186; we break up camp and march t Weldon N. C., together with the rc mainder of Butler's Brigade, wine is now commanded by Gen. Thos. -?? Logan. At Weldon about tworthird of the Brigade take the cars for Cc lumbia S. C., the remainder rai charge of the horses and marci through. We reach Columbia on th 18th, and go into camp on the wee side of the Congaree to await the ar rival of our horses. Whilst we an here, it was determined to make at effort to remount those of tko Brig ade who aro without horses. Tuc Slate authorities assuming the obli g?tions of buying the horses. Ofl5 cers are detailed and pioperly au thorized to contract for, and give ob ligations for all that they can get The writer was sent to Edgefield Dis trict with instructions to try and ge as many as 30 head. About the first of Feb. we start on the cars, and on reaching Branch ville we learn that the Road betweei that place and Augusta is threatened by Geu. Sherman's army, so aftei several heure delay, the trai? returni to Columbia. Maj. T. G. Barkel kindly lurnishes us with a horse, anc we, with B.

UNION; January 25 To' the Editor of the News o Courter-: It baa seemed to me tin countably strange that no histor: who has written or attempted to wr a history of the war between t .States, no "Reminiscence," no " H; ersack," contains the name of Gi States Bights Gist, a name that c serves to be placed conspicuous among the illustrious heroesof the li war, for it would adorn the pages any history. I am and have ever be at a loss to what cause to attribt this omission, whether the writt studiously avoided or inad .ertent neglected to include the name arno: the many heroes of the late strugg To say the ieast of it, in my numb judgment, the omission has render* their 3tory sadly incomplete. . When the State of South Carolin seceded, Gen. States R. Grist was cv jutant general of the State. Ile w a man of wealth and position, a had-he-been like many of.tie bloc thirsty sgitators, the blood of n<!i of whom ever dyed the. soil of a's. ? gie battlefield, he top, hadhe been jj deposed r(,n^\ia^?M^iri^ jJB TetnieinncIinesaieoomD^p^ so escaped harm to t'.jself and pro] eity. But no, he WSB given and II cepted a position of honor and dang? He was appointed abngadier-genei a and commanded the troops at the b ? tie of Secessionville. Afterwards lh was sent with his command to joi the Western army, first to-Vicksbnr to reinforce Gen. Pemberton. A Franklin, Tennessee, in Novetnbei 18G4, one of the fiercest and mot destructive battles of the war wa lought, thirteen Confederate general were killed and wounded. Arnon the killed waB Gen.

Hi horse stood with forefeet upon th breastworks of the enemy, and ye the name of this patriotic martyr t. the sacred cause has found no plac< in its history. Gen. States R. Gist WA born in TTnion County, S. C., was on of eight sons of Nathaniel and Eliza beth Gist, was a graduate of th South Carolina College, and was alfi graduated in law at Cambridge. Hi began the practice of law at this place was for a time associated iu the prac tice of law with Robert Boyce, Eeq and was made adjutant general o the State of South Carolina. JOHN P. GAGE. New York World : " We regret l< observe lhat Senator John Shermat is not disturbed in the least by the terrible news that the life of a humar being in the State of Ohio is worth no more Than the life of a yellow dog. A mob near his own home dragf a maa out and hangs him without law or jury, aud Mr. Sherman says nothing. If :8 negro should be mil treated by a mob of white men on election day in ^outh Carolina Mr. Sherman would arise and " whereas" wiuhgreat vehemence. Why is a white Ohio man not engaged in politics of less consequence than a voting 3}uth ern negro for the purpose of Republi can statesmanship. EOB TOOMUS A TRUE BELIEVER -The fact that Gen. Toombs has joined the church was very extensively published a few months ago. He remarked to Bishop Pierce at the time that he joined becauae he desired to become a Christian, not that he felt that he was converted. All Christian be lievers will now welcome the glad news that the illustrious Robert Toombe has experience d a change of heart and ha? become as a little child in trusting Him who said, " Except ye be converted and become as little children ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."-Washington, Ga., Gazette. Mrs. C. Butler, Aiken, S. C., says : 1 " My husband found relief using ' Brown's Iron Bitters for sick headache 1 and nervous prostration." . % T" Tn Breaking of the negro question, Bishop Pierce/, of Georgia, eave: " The negroes are entitled to an ele mentary education the same as the whites from the hands of the State. It is the duty-df)th9 church to im prove the .colored ministry, but rath er.' by-^8jfffcgica? training than by litaraW^ducation. In my judgment higher education, so called, would be a positiVe^^cja^aity to the negroes. It would increase the friction be tween the races, prodnce endless strifes, elevate negro aspirations fer above the station he waa created to fill, and resolve the whole race into a political faction, full '. of strife, mis chief and turbulence. Negroes ought to be taught that the respect of the white ra?e can only be attained by good ?h^st??s^m? conducts Their well doing and well-being all right minded citizens desire and would re joice in. Agriculture and all the mechanical pursuits sre open to them, and in them they might find lucra tive employment. In these direc tions they may support their fami lies, get property and become valua ble citizens. If negroes were edu cated, intermarriage in time would breed trouble, but of this I see no tendency now. My conviction is that negroes have no right in juries, leg islatures, or in public office. Right involves character and qualification. * * There never can be stability and good order except when intelli gence and virtue presides and directs the afTdira of the country. The ne gro ought to be protected in all his rights of person and property by the righteous administration of the laws. He is entitled to respect and kind consideration in all his pursuits and wants, while he himself is industri ous and upright and well behaved. O?d Jona Brown Before His Kansas Exploits. Letter to Editor North American Review, SOLON, O , Oct. 18,1883. Editor Review :-I am a subscriber for the Review, and have just read in the November number the article en titled " John Brown of Osawatomie.'1 I cannot wait to read anything else I must thank you-I want to thank the Rev. David N. Titter. Please give me his address on a card and I will thank you again. I knew the old scoundrel (Brown) long before the war; long before Kansas was known ; cates, lie tried to blow op his moth er-in-law with powder ; he WAS guilty of every meanness. He involved bis father at one time in ruin, sud every body else he had anything to do with. I refer to Simon Perkins, of Akron, 0. When his farm was sold at the sherill's sale in HudsoD, he took two or three of his large t boys into the house and barricaded it, laid in a stock of guns and Ammunition, and when t' e day uf sale came defied the sheriff and his posse ; the guns were pointed out every window and the sheriff returned, but sold the place and gave possession then as far as he could. The purchaser occupied what he could of the property till at length Brown and his first original " North ern army" found it was no use to re si>t further. This was one of the first ol h?8 " higher law" methods. His Rwindling operations in Frank lin, Portage county, Ol io, would make another chapter. The last time I saw him was at Brookway's Hotel, in Cleve land, where he had a large gang of Missouri horses Belling them. Brock way told me,they were Btolen and I heard the " ""Hon put to Brown him self, and .na not deny it. I saw him in Aurora laying in am munition, which he said waa for Kan sas, and said further he was going there to fight. If N w England can't find better material to make heroes of than John Brown, ehe had better go without them. Yours, N. ECCLESTON. Wbiskey Men Discouraged. A leading merclicnt from a Western city, who has been here for a week past to personally investigate the prospects of the kill extending the bonded period on whiskey becoming a law, left yesterday for his home. Previous to his departure he had con ferences with those members of Con gressed other whoare supporting this measure, and Bays that he could not extract one atom of comfort from whit they had to report as to the possibility of passing the bill. Said he : "I am now going home, and I am going to devote myself to prepar ing for the crash in tin price of fine whiskies that is inevitable. I have made heavy advances in this line of goods, and I prr-pose to get a market for the greater portion of them as soon ao I can. It is utter folly for those of us whoare financially inter ested in the whiskey that must come out of bond between this and the first of July next to expect any relief whatever at bande of Congress. There is not the remotest possibility of the passage of a whiskey bill.- Washing ton Cor. Eaitjord limes.
