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.

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.

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.

It is already evident, we think, that
the war will not interfere with bu.-i

trade has not suffered to anything
like the degree that was predicted,
and now that the prospect for an

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
