Columbia State, 17 th inst. Yesterday afternoon Division Chief Constable Osborne and constables Karling, Johnson, Pepues and Garner seized a car load cf whiskey containing about 400 gallons. The car was at Cayee's last night and will probably bo brought over and delivered to the dispensary today. The shipnu lit reached Columaia about 1 o'clock yesterday over the Southern ra 1way and consists of 78 kegs of whiskey, containg five gallons each, and two barrels of wine containing about iifty gallons each. Every package is consigned to a different person, so that there are SO consignees, all of whom the const a- , blcs believe to be fictitious. The entire ! ...IT. TT-.IW- / Ir.w-fifii/.rt f"f\ OnV.'Ti M'hif-!) ! is just across the river from Columbia uii the Southern railway. Constables Hurling and Johnston went over to*Cayee'e about 1 :o0 o'clock ye sterday to meet the car when it arrived and guard it. Constables Pegues and Garntr followed about 4 :C0 in the afternoon. The plan was for the constables to guard the car until an attempt was made to move it and then arrest the persons making the attempt and seize the teams ai d liquor. This plan, however, was disarranged by some unknown persons opening fire on the constables during the night. The fire was returned fiercely by all of the officers and the attacking party took flight. Neither of the constables was hit, and so far as is known none of the others was touched. No attempt was made to move the stuff and no one appeared to claim the ownership. Port Arthur Losses. In one of the recent assaults on Port Arthur, according to an English correspondent who is not given to wild exaggeration, the Japanese lost four thousand men in one hour's fighting, i This is a fearful rate of loss, indeed, but it is only remotely comparable with the Union less in the attack on Lee's intrenchments at Cold Harbor on that June morning in 1864, when not less than seven thousand were killed, wounded or missing at the end of the first hour. There have perhaps been no bloodier ten minutes in all the history of warfare than the first ton of the charge on Cold Harbor fortifications, when i 1I\^r? r. /-vl /*? ^ r\ir*r> V\/"io 4 A?\ /?lr h vT JL cl.iJl I' lUS C)VJX\.U.drf LA;<XlVxl UtU A \Tllii such terrible loss that when lie came to review his military career later in lifehe said that the. one mistake which he deeply regretted was the. ordering, of that assault. It is probable that three thousand, and possibly four thousand, Union soldiers fell in the first quarter hour of that ill-advised attack oil intrenchments that were too strong to be taken by storm. In the present RussoJapanese war. larger forces may in one or two instances have been brought into action than any that met in the Ameri- i can civil war, but in proportion to the numbers engaged and tiie durations of the conflicts it lias yet to be proved that the losses equal the destruction wrought i in several of the more desperate combats J of the struggle between the North and the South. Death Near Bed Benk. The sad news of the death of Mr. Johnnie Gunter, which occurred at his home near Red Bank last Friday, was received here that day. While his death was not unexpected, as he had been a great sufferer for some time, yet it was a shock to his friends hereabouts, Mr. Gunter was a man of family, to whom, the sympathies of the community go out in time of trouble and sore affliction. His remains was laid away to rest in the cemetery at Irene, by Pelican Lodge, No. To, I. 0. O. F., of this place, of which he was a member.

Columbia Record. i Washington, December li>?Congress| men are almost daily in receipt of claims I for horses and other property rakeji by | Federal soldiers at the close of the Civil War, in violation of the terms of surrender. Some time since Congress made an appropriation of money to requite those who lost their property in this way. It will be recalled that each soldier who had a horse and saddle at the close of hostilities was allowed to retain them under t lie terms of the agreement reach ed between the victorious and conquered commanders. This, however, applied only to the horses then in the service and not to others. So zealous, so forgetful, were some, of the Northern soldiers that they violated this agreement wherever opportunity afforded, and as a result thousands cf "Yankees" rode Southern horses hack North, It was to meet these cases and requite those who had their horses stolen that the money was appropriated. And whenever these claims come in properly substantiated, and endorsed by the Representative in Congress they will be paid. But there are many who <lo not understand the nature of the appropriation, and are trying to get in claims for all kinds of property. Of course this is useless, for they cannot even be considered. Speaking of the matter today Representative Aikc-n, who is one of the most indefatigable departing lit workers in Congress. said: "I have gotten a number of these claims paid with the last week or two. and hope to get many more, but it will be useless for any one to ask pay for any horse or baggage that they did not ride away from the Southern army, and which was given him under the terms of the surrender. It would be well to have these other cases fixed up while the witnesses are living, but there is no money anywhere to pay them now."
