Washington, June 2J?Surgeon General YahReypen of the navy has received a number of letters from his officers on board the ships of Ad miral Sampson's squadron, testifying to the gratefulness and appreciation with which the delicacies sent for the sick and wounded have been received. TLese delicacies, which were made up of fruits of various kinds, etc, were purchased hy the contributions received by the surgeon general faun several of the associations throughout the country which have been raising funds for that purpose. The following is a sample of the many h-tters received. It is from Surgeon General M. H. Simons of the Iowa, dated June In, and is iu acknowledg incut of stationery for the men ami fruits for the sick. The letter says: "If the ladies whr sent them rouhl see how they are appreciated by the poor fellows who have had nothing of the kind for nearly two months, duriDg which time they have been continuously in a temperature of between 80 and 90 degrees, they would understand better than I eau tell them how refreshing the fruits are and how greatful all are for the angelicthoughtfulness which prompted the sending." Capt. Evans of tho Iowa mado the following endorsement 011 this lcttei: "Dr. Simons has stated it very mildly. Being for the moment one of tho sick ones, I cau feelingly testify and do most willingly and gratefully express my thanks and those of my ship's company for the delightful presents." A letter from Surgeon Thomas H. Streets of the Solace says that that ship arrived at Gaautanamo on the 13th instant, just in time to take aboard the marines who had been wounded iu the battle at that place. Afterwards the ship wet to the vessels of the squadron and collected their sick There were only nine sick men on the vessels of the squadron who were transferred to the Solace. Subsequently the Solace returned to i Guantauarao and took on board the insurgents who had been wounded j in the fight. Surgeon Streets, in his letter, takes occasion to express the greateful appreciation of the medical corps for the pajamas donated to the ship through Mrs. Eraucis II. G.atliu of Morristown, N. J. They were par ticularly serviceable, be says, for the use of the wounded marines. Swansea Doings.

Mrs. W. IT. F. Past is still ill and has gone to her paternal home, in Hampton county, to spend a few days in her efforts for restoration to health. Mrs. Yarn, her mother, spent some time with her here before her deperture. On the first of last week the death angel visited the home of our fellow citizen, Jefferson Manuel, and carried away the mother of It is little children and his companion to the abode in that blissful far away.

The small pox scare has subsided and the exiled citizens have returned and among them our friend J. G. Fal law. Thcjieldof the wheat crop this year has been tbe best for years. That and the price of flour has induced many farmers to this enterprise, and the wheat erea another year will be enormously increased. The farmers who have tried it sa> that a bushel of peas put in now aud j plowed uuder in either wheat, rye or oats is the equal of 400 lbs. of any of our fertilizers on the crop. The peas cost now seventy-five cents, the fertilizer next fall will cost from $4 to That is one of the ways our farmers get poor. The peaviue we know is a genuine article. A great deal of the guano is hardly worth bringing home and puttiug out, it is so adulterated. We "country crackers" will learn after awhile, possibly but like the "cooter", we "make hast</' awfully slow: yet how prone we ate to blame somebody else for being shaper than we ure. Mr. H. R.

Mighty Cheer Went as the Big J Yule Weighed Anchor and Headed e j 1 /< lor ine v;apes. Newport News, Ya , June 22.?The auxiliary cruiser Yale, Capt. Wise commander, sailed from Old Point Comfort at 0 o'clock this evening for Santiago de Cuba, having on board nearly 1,G0() troops, which will join Geu. Shatter's army now on Cuban soil. There was a lively scene at the dock wheu the warship weighed anchor. Hundreds of people had assembled at the wharf to wish the troops God speed, and when the vessel slowly steamed away toward the Virginia capes there was wild cheering from the guests of the hotels and soldiers stationed at Fort Monroe, | and it was returned by the brownfaced soldiers who swarmed the deck of the newly converted man-of-war. The troops on board the Yale were the Thirty-third Michigan, Col. C. L. /Ml Olllt <1 llpf foli/ltl /if flip I UWUlij i IIU 1? MUVVM1IWM V/ ? w Thirty-fourth Micbigau, Maj. Winaus with Brig. Geo. W. II. Duflield in com maud. They arrived at Old Point thi3 morning on the steamers Washington aud Norfolk from Camp Alger, having embarked 011 the transports at Alexandria, Ya. After the steamers were tied up at the docks the troops were allowed to come ashore. ?So crowded were the transports that the soldiers were unable to sleep. They were tired and jaded aud when they again put foot on terra firma many of them threw down their knapsacks and lay down for a nap. Others visited Fort Monroe and the camp of the First Maryland regiment, while still others who felt the gnawing of hunger rushed into hotels and eating houses. After landing the troops the strainers moved out to the Yule and transferred the ammunition, baggage aud horses to the big cruiser. Earlier in the afternoon the troops were odered to go aboard the warships and at (J o'clock the Yale steamed out of the i I bay for Cuba. Besides having on board the Michigan troops and their equipment the cruiser carried an euormous supply of coal and tons of j ammunition and supplies for Admiral I Sampson's fleet- The cruiser is expected to arrive at her destination not later than next Tuesday. Several weeks ago the scout ship Yale, formerly the American liner, City of Paris, came to this port to bo conrerted into an auxiliary cruiser at the works of the Newport News ship building aud dry dock company. This work was completed in ten days. During that time a battery of eight j 5-inch rapid tire guns was mounted 011 the decks of the swift steamer and she was given a coat of war i-toinl T.nf fir Ilia Qfinnf vlnil H.ir.

The next day ? at Dorchester Cjl. Watson grew very j personal in his remarks about Gov. j , Kllerbe. This brought forth a posi- j tive, emphatic denial of the vague j j charges of Watson.

To the Kilitor of the Register Tlie strictures ami assaults mado 1 upon Governor Kllerbe by Watson anil Tillman are altogether uncalled for. Pure ami unselfish patriotism may prompt them ami fill them with an ardent desire to till tho gubernatorial chair, the duties of which they no doubt would discharge to the best of their ability. Put charges made by aspirants against an incumbent are always more or less prompted by a seliish desire to get an oftice for money and fame, the former generally predominant. Gov. Kllerbe may or may not have made the mistakes charged by these two honorable gentlemen, newspaper scriblers and petty i-i ? ? i -i 11._ i. .t_ i._ pOUllCItlDF, UUI, UpOU UJU WIJOIC, IiC has mado a good Governor, his administration having" been tempered with a churcbly and Christian-like spirit, which, in map instances hitherto, has not been the ease. The church people have about made up their minds not to support and vote for any man who is not a consistent member of some Christian church. Vulgarisms, profanity, drunkenness, failure to pay all honest debts unless powerless to do so from causes that cannot be controlled by the debtor, together with resultant vices, unfits the most learned men for a public jftice of any kind. "Citizen,'' iu your issue of the 10th inst, charges the Governor with incompetency, uud says that thgre are magistrates that could teach the tiovernor for a lifetime. If "Cili sou" is or Las been a magistrate it may bo that lie could do so, but experience and observation has taugbt ibis scribe that under tbe present system of magistracy in South Caro,iua, very little in the way of a knowledge of the laws can be expected from magistrates. lu the country and smaller towns salaries 'ange from #50 to #150 per year. This pay is so small that it is imposiible for incumbents to supply themselves with necessary books and literature as auxiliaries to tbe statutes md devote time and study that will fit them to properly discharge the luties of the office of magistrate. The magistrate's office lays the 'oundatiou for all the criminal work )f the circuit court, and upon the ifficieucy or inefficiency of themagis;rate very much depends the economcal or useless expenditure of the people's money. The law for magis:rates requires amendment, and a - ** i t _ _ it - I convention oi ail magistrates in me state should be held at an early day n Columbia. Let us bear from our jrother magistrates on this subject. The dispensary law is more popuar today tban ever before, and is jere to stay. High license is a ricb nan's monopoly in the whiskey rade, and to substitute it for tbe lispensary law would be to take from Lbe poor school children money that they so much need, give it to tbe rich man and reopen a worse system ;hau the old law was. If it is right For a lich man to sell whiskey it is (jually right for a poor man to sell It, and under a rich man's monopoly system the poor man would have a plausible excuse, and the country would be covered with blind tigers. Let no candidate hope or believe that be can run into the Governor's chair bv a fiohtin?? opposition to the dis S U . peusary. Governor Kilerbe is to be commended fur the cool ami equable temper he lias maintained under the issaults of ofliee seekers and axe grinders, and he deserves to be ami j ivill be eleoUd to a second terra.

The House voted Thursday upon the conference report, adopting it by a large majority. Mr. Dingley admitted that certain Senate amendments were distasteful to him, but he pointed out that no great principle had been surrendered by the House, and that the chief object which it has set out to accomplish, the raising of about $175,000,000 by taxation and about $500,000,000 from other sources would be secured through the bill as modified by the conference.

The opinion seems to exist among swine raisers, who are beginning to learn the advantages of raising bacon hogs on the range, that this method should apply only to hogs raised to moderate weight. This is a mistake, for the most expensive and least healthful combination is diy corn with water or slops fed in a dry lot, while the opposite result is obtained when one-half the quantity of corn is fed and the pigs have grass or clover pasture. The value of corn meal for fattening pigs is conceded, but, on the other hand, it is a poor food for growing pigs, although of value when fed as directed or in the season when green pasture is not obtni'nolJo if fpd with wheat bran or clover hay. No matter how low the j price of corn may be, the green food is cheaper, especially when fed in the pasture, besides being a better corrective of the system than the dry foods. It is a matter of record that swine raised on corn almost wholly are subject to diseases of various kinds, while those pastured and fed a half ration of coru are strong aod healthy, and are rarely attacked by cholera.

Think of that, will you? And he is a piize Sunday school scholar." "Horrible!" "Yes, and when his father came home I told him about it, and insisted that he take Willie and give him a good whipping for swearing, and what do you think he did?"
