endell Phillips, who dipd on the
-YIP U ?33 r?iirr,
o * -J
was one ol the greatest orators and
masters of the English tongne, in
?the lide of time. 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

History of Company Bf Sixth
C. 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

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.

%
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,

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

" My dear sir, this bloody shirt reviv?
is, in my opinion, the best, thing thi
could have happened tor the Demi

proper use of the opportunity. Ti
Southern people ougut to see, wit
their eyes wide open, that they cannt
alford to divide the party on the tari!
but that it is cf supreme important
that they should harmonize for tb
preservation of their liberty. Th
constitutional liberty of the who!
country is menaced with destructor
and yet tho Democratic party-th
party of the Constitution is asked t
disintegrate on an imp aoticabie ?FSU

! the Democratic patty is torn on
subject that means for us danger ani
defeat. The Sooth must nen that hf
sleepless and st i il malignant foe i
ready to revive the epoch of Thaddeu
Stephens, if the wnrde authority o
the Government can be captured a
the polls. So, I am inclined to wei
come this bloody shirt business as ai
open declaration of the Republicai
programme, and one too that ehouh
instantly rouse the Democracy of al
aectione in solid phalanx to battle ant

It seems to me, reader, that thesi

It would be a sad thing if, graspir;
