- I The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt Julv 19, 1894. G. M. BARMAN, Editor and Publisher LEXINGTON, S. C\, WEDNESDAY. MAY 18, 189S. The Handwriting1 of G-od in the j ? Government of Men, I VII?THE UNITED STATES. For several months past, for rea ons which are well known to myself but which are needless to be expressed here, I have desisted from writing on these articles. The best and wisest of men frequently make mistakes, but Providence commits no blunders and its prearrangements always terminate wisely and to the best ends. The flag under which we live as a nation and the government of which it is the immortal emblem from the dav of its birth till now has had 3 * many vissitudes of "fate aDd fortune'' and all through its struggle? and triumphs the handwriting of God has been most clearly and most indelibly imprinted in her historic pages. Her birth and childhood, her growth and maturity, her agonies and exhaltations so clearly mark the care and guidanqe of tbe King of Kings and Lord of Lords than there is no excuse nor paliation for tbe Christian citizen to misunderstand. TYhen the lovers of freedom watched o'er her infant cradle, the world knew little of political rights or religious inde pendence, and the task of giviDg the human family political and religious freedom and giving to the world an example that man was capable of self government without the intervention of kings or forces, has been most sol emnly bequeathed by heaven to the American people. Questions of grave importance and struggles of vast dimensions have been encountered at every advance forward, but hitherto cur dangers have all been averted and today we stand the grandest government ever witnessed by any century. So shortly after our revolutionary ancestors, by long weary years of conflict and bloodshed, had established our young republic did the crown heads of Europe conspire to destroy the union of States. But how easy for man to plan and how easy for God to disappoint aod to transform man's selfish aims and purposes to better aims and ends. Just at that juncture the great Napoleon, tkthe child of destiny,v ap pears in the French revolution ana by hia wondeiful achievements and triumphs until 1815 he kept the kingdoms of Europe so busy trying the art of self preservation that they had no time, men nor money to employ on American conquests. When all dangers have been passed and the revolution has accomplished its work, Europe has protected U3 in America from what was expected and intended should be annihiliatior, the battle of Waterloo has been fought and Napoleon Boneparte has become a helpless exile on the lonely island of St. Helena. Boneparte was an ambitious, self ish spirit. His aims' were sadly defeated but the purposes of God were subserved. The less of these colonies to our mother England, and the horrors of the French revolution awoke England and Europe from their sleep of centuries and but for the awakening of those two revolutions no one could dare tell what were now the conditions of national life. This article is too shoit to tell of, the constitution of the United States in its origin, and difficulties it encountered. But in God's providence it was made and became the supreme law of our nation, and with its amendments and additions, has been well called the grandest production of the human mind. Its heights and depths, its magnitude to Americans should be supremely gi*aud, and its importance to the world cannot be estimated. It will be the world's political Bible and the measure of its faith and practice,* and whatever prejudices or dislikes may in the past have filled our hearts, we should ! expell them as vile intruders, when we see and view the situation it oc cupies. It becomes us as patriots and j philanthropists to remove sucti emo- i tions far from U3 as unworthy of our consideration and hold in contempt ! the public man or newspaper who f encourages such a sentiment. After its adoption more than a century and a quarter ago our ship j of State has floated under its ban- | ners with various trials and strug- j gles with the Sirocco winds, the storms and the coral strands. Its greatest struggle was in 1800 j when the winds, gales and tempests ; of over thirty years culminated in j the seccession of our State and others from their maternal roof. The j loDg contention over free trade and slavery finally had its effect and took j shape in what was at one time looked ; on as a very unfortunate matter. But after the lapse of one generation we j are better judges of it than while engaged in our bloody civil war or I shortly afterwards before the fresh memory of battles ami sad recollections of the hardships have passed by. -i Iq all these rough, billowy seas South Carolina ptobably took the leading position among tLe Southern States. To her has been accredited a great deal that was rash, determined and impetuous in these dajs of slavery agitation, and as we shall see most prom:nent of all were nelsons iu this appeal to the sword. For many years and during many heated electoral years this slavery question was the ell absorbing issue. At the South its advocates controlled ail elections and nothing could be done which was hostile to the slaveholders' feelings in Southern elections from the crash in 1832 when AndrewJackson, by his strong arm, put a t-imnnrofc i n i ii n oi inri fr> Hip nn(l)U!St ICLU^Uia.; iUJUuv..vu for which as jet the conditions were not ready. Various efforts were made at difj ferent times to free the negroes, but ody to confine slavery to the slave States then recognized as such and to forbid its introduction into aDV new State which should be there after admitted into our Union. All efforts and compromises were | fruitless and in 1856 the Black Republican party v^ks introduced and its main feature was that slavery should uot be extended in the United States but stiictly confined to the then slave teriitory. Iu 18G0 the Democratic party split and the Republican party elected Abraham Lincoln President, although by a minority vote. The election of President Lincolu did not endanger slaverj- in any way, but only its further extension in our territory. But the issues have reached the crisis and slavery had ruu its race, had filled its mission, had accomplish all it could and the fatal attempt of the slave lords to destroy the Union culminated in the secession of South Cirolina and several of her sister States from the Federal communion. Rash and impudent as it may have seemed it will some day appear to all patiiotic thinkers that the best possible thing occurred for America as a whole, for the South in particular and as the proper step for the best interest of the human family. Having had accomplished all it could for our Southern country and the climax had been reached when its further existence would have been a menace to our civilization. The point had been reached when the negro must be freed or the poor white man would be enslaved. It was the situation, the destiny and the future and not the Federal soldier that elevated 1 Hftft Hi'lfi nf tinman lieinrrs freim chattel slavery to the proud position of American freedom. The South in its attempt to en danger the existence of the flag drew together the American heart as no other question possibly could and thus arrayed against her gallant sons the most determine an inveterate sentiment of all men outside the slave States and greatly weakened her cause even in her own territory, for there were a great many Unionists then in South Carolina. And what two leaders possibly could have been elected to accomplish the best results at the end. And strange to say both the Confed erate Presideut Davis and the Federal Executive both South Caro linians by blood but not by birth or raising. I have already given to the public my reasons in part for believing and for feeling very confident that Abra ham Lincoln was the son of John C Cdhoun and Nancy Hank?, whose home was in Anderson county of this State. Who of all men then in public life was better suited and qualified for the momentous task assigned him? History some day will give a different liueage for Jefferson Davis tban the one now accepted. When the trials and struggles of the gallant armies and heroes of our civil war shall be written as they were, many erasures aDd interlinings will mar the present pages which narrate the achievements of the heroic slain of both armies, and which find nothing in Greek or R ;man annals to dim the glory which shone on the American battle grounds. And to the prudent thinker nothing in uninspired history which more clearly marks the interference of God in the civil strifes of men and nations. The historian will some day tell of these two principal gladiators in proper terms and not for blood rela tions or position restrain the tiu:h as it is. President Davis, like President Lincoln, will descend from South Carolina origin, and the Hon Simeon Christie, for long years theSoeritf of Edgefield district before the war and one of the land barons and slave lords of this State, will go down in history as the real, genuine father of Jefferson Davis. "Like father like sou, in features, personal outlice and in mental charasteristics. Both of ' these great characteis were carried by circumstances beyond the coufiues of this State, and both reared up in chances, life, education and surroundings aDd best fit them for the responsible positions which they occupied during the civil war. "n iTTThrnrW IBM? ! ! !! 1 ? ! ?MMI I President Davis was the very man, | of all we had in public life, to refuse i ^nil overtures of Presidept Lincoln for ; peace and the restoration of the ! Huron, and the right man to iusist to ; the last for the Southern States to ; , have unconditional withdrawal from i our common allegiance. He was the ; proper man to drain our Confederacy i of every resource of men ami treasuie. j and to completely disable for all future hostilities within itself. Had i the overtures been accepted at any time on a compromise the issue * would nut have ended and*a possible j | continuance iu future might have j disturbed our peace again. The i hopes of the South till after our j i Wateilco at Gettysburg were blight ; aud our soldiers bouyant. Hut that j was just what President Garfield j called it when making a speecu m : the United States Senate "The! ' dawn of day ou our Union midnight." ; i It was no accident. It was not for want of heroic a^d ft-ailess manhood, for that engagement will go dowu as ; a monument to the Confederate soldier. The entire war is a lasting j monument which nothing can explain j away. For GO. 1,000 volunteers and i i conscripts in the aggregate without i sufficient clothing and ammunitions ! j of war to successfully withstand for four years the aggregate amount of | 2,700,000 of voluuteers and drafted j men with better equipments of every ! kind for war, bi.ffies the skill of the | historian who would detract or mis| represent them. But while it shows | the extent to which zeal and energy j can go in the wiong, it is a fair warnI ing to the invaders of our territory j of every nationally what they can exi pect from the American soldier. In J view of all these facts how silly it is in those writers who say the battle of Gettysburg was lost by Longstriei's slowness. Again by others who say that the battle was badly planned by General Lee who had dyspepsia very badly that day from < i _ _ . _t_ ?i i i;i_ j earing 100 mucu iiuu 100 uenruij ui j flapjacks and honey, therefore, Lee lost Gettysburg and Gettysburg lost the Confederacy. [CONTINUED NEXT WEEK ] Mr John Peterson. of Patoutvillc, La , was very agreeably surprised uot long ago. For eighteen months he had been troubled with dysentery and had tiied three of the best doctors in New Orleans, besides half a dozen or more patent medicines, but received very little relief. ChamberIain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Kemedv, having been recommended ! to him, he gave it a tiial and to his i e | great surprise, three doses of that i remedy effected a permanent cure. : Mr. Ww. McNamara, a well known merchant of the same place, is well acquainted with Mr. Peterson and attests to the truth of this statement. This remedy is for sale by J. E Kaufmann. B:mtar&m5nt cf Cienfuegos. Port Antonio, May 12.?A terrific bombardment ot (Jienluegoes, on tne south coat9 of Cuba, was reported this morning. There was a he^vy loss ou both side9. The Americans were severely repulsed by the Spaniards. The batile coutinued eight hours, four American warships participating, also the land batteries at Cieufuegos and a strong force of Spauish soldiers. The Americans tried to land barges towed by steam launches, but weie driven back by a murderous tire of artillery and volleys from Mausers. Later the invanders assaulted ihe oppositie bay, towing barges into a small stream, made two attempts to land, but were repulsed both times. Twenty Spaniards are known to be wounded. The Ameiican loss is unknown. The battle began yesterday morning. - "H Avo P o wan L Cure It! Contagious blood poison is absolutely beyond the skill of the doctors.

It is already evident, we think, that the war will not interfere with bu.-i ness as it was feared it would. General trade has not suffered to anything like the degree that was predicted, and now that the prospect for an early, and for us glorious, termination of the struggle seems assured, the disturbance of traffic will prob ably be still less. Thee is no reason why this war should check industrial enterprise or business activity. ITour Out cf a Job. The traveling men who held the'r jobs in 1N9:> by pi etching the gold standard on the curs, iu the stores, at hotels and everywhere when they could get an audience, aod who were so frantic with fear of a ''flood of silver," can be seen these spiing days skulkiDg around hunting cheap boarding houses and wearing frayed trousers. Most of them have had the r salaries cut iu too, or are compelled to sell on commission. 'T would not be without Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for its weight iu gold," writes D. J. Jones, of Hoi land, Va. "My wife was troubled with a cough for neaily two years. I tiied vaiious patent remedies, besides numerous prescriptions from physicians, all of which did 110 good I was at last persuaded to try a bott'e of Chambejlaiu's Cough Remedy, which promptly relieved the cough.
