General Grant sailed from Yoko hama for San Francisco the 3d in stant, and will arrive about the 21st. The Augusta Chronicle & Consti tutionalist, one of the best papers in the country, comes to us in a new dress. The Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, including road, depots, cars and everything else, will be sold at Wilmington the 1st of October. Prof. Chas. F. Smith, of Wofford College, has gone back to Leipsic University, to complete his course of studies, interrupted in 1875. Just before sailing, the 21st ult., he was married to Miss Annie DuPre, daughter of the late Warren DuPre, LLD. The election in California the 4th instant resulted m a victory for the Republicans. Perkins, Rep., re ceived 18,616 votes; Glenn, Dem., 15,728 ; White, "Workingmen's" candidate, 10,13& The Legisla ture gets a Republican majority. Rallock, the candidate of Dennis Kearney and the Communistic ele ment, was elected Mayor of San Francisco. He is recovering from his wound received from DeYoung, Editor of the Chronicle. New York Politics. The Republican State Conven tion of New York met last week at Saratoga. Senator Conkling was chosen temporary Chairman. He made a long and labored speech, his object being to prove that three special dangers now threaten the republic-State's Rights, Tnflation, and a disposition to trample on the liberties of the people. He said that New York would decide the contest of 1880. A. B. Cornell, Conkling's candidate, was nomina. ted for Governor. Gem. Hood's Children. The death of Gen. Hood and wife left their eleven children al most.destitute and helpless, the old esthbeing only ten years of age. The Atlanta Constitution began last week the collection of a fund for their benefit. The first day $1,000 was subscribed. The firm of In man, Swan & Co., of New York. forwarded $250 as its contribution. Contributions will be received by the Constitution from any quarter. The money raised will be invested by three trustees in securities for the benefit of the children. Praetiee what You Preach. The Northern Methodists are .confronted with a very troublesome question. The colored people of that section are nearly all mem bers of the Methodist Church. A new bishop is to be elected soon, and the colored members insist that their large membership enti tles them to have the coming Bish op from among their color. The white Methodists, who, before the war, were the rankest abolitionists, and since the war the most blatant advocates of the negroes, have now an opportunity to practice what they preach. Will they do it ? The Yellow Fever--.A Liberal D)onation. ' The Yellow Fever in Memphis shows no signs of abatement. There is an average of about twenty cases a day. The Howard Association, that band of noble workers, have exhausted all the funds they had on hand, and are compelled to ap peal to the generous people of the country for aid. Responses are flowing in. Jay Gould, of New York, has sent the following tele gram: NEw YoREx, Sep. 5, 1879 To W. J. Smith, Acting Prest. Bow ard Association, Memphis, Tenn.: I send you by telegraph five thousand dollars to aid the Howard Association. I am certain that the generous people throughout the country will contribute liberally to ~ 2L.... A 1. Political Dritt Wood. Senator Bayard, of Delaware, says that Grant will certainly be the Republican candidate for Presi dent. Gen. Mosby, now Consul at Hong Kong, thinks that Grant will be the candidate, and that he cannot be beaten. Mosby has beenin Grant's company a good deal lately. George W. Childs, of the Phila delphia Ledger, Grant's intimate friend, says that the ex-President does not want the office again and could accept it only at great sacri fice, but if circumstances requires the sacrifice he is ready to make it -all which means, when translated into common sense language, that Grant is anxious for a third term. The campaign in Maine is ani mated. Blaine is working day and night. Money is being used freely by the Republicans. The Demo crats and Greenbackers have joined hands, and the contest will be close. The official vote of Kentucky for Governor is: Blackburn, Dem., 125,799 ; Evans, Rep., 81,882: Cook, Greenbacker, 18,954. Black burn's majority, 43,917. The Dem ocratic majority for Governor four years ago was 36,181. We have seen it stated, but can not vouch for its truthfulness, that Senator Hampton's choice for the Democratic candidate for President is Bayard, of Delaware. Tilden and his friends are trying to work up a "boom" in his favor, which we hope will fail. The Dem ocratic party have had enough of "Uncle Sammy." They want aman of more nerve and backbone. Kershaw's Brigade. It has been proposed to have during the week of the State Fair in Columbia, a reunion of the Brig ade first commanded by ex-Gov. Bonham, and afterwards by Gens. Kershaw, Kennedy and Conner. This Brigade was at first composed of the 2nd, 3d, 7th and 8th Regi ments, to which were added James' Battalion and the 15th and the 20th Regiments. Six men of Lebanon, Pa., insured the life of an old man named Raber for $10,000, the object being to kill him and get the insurance money. They tiaew the old man off a foot. log into a creek and drowned him. They wore tried for murder, con victed and sentenced to be hanged. One of them has made, since his conviction, a full confession. Mr. J. H. McGee, a painter, fell from the scaffolding of the Opera House at Greenville the 3d, and was killed. A Sacred Trust for the Soldiers .*f the South. The following letter is addressed to Gen. Randall L Gibson, of Lou isiana, to whose care Gen. Hood, when dying, commended his orphan children: NEW Onmuxs, Aug. 30, 1879. .Dear Generali: Knowing your love and esteem for Gen. Hood and his family, I thought a few partic ulars of the sad event would not be uninteresting to you. Mrs. Hood, after last confinement, was better,2 and had an easier time than on any former occasion. Friday week, feel-] ing so well, she imprudently took( a bath. Immediately after she was taken with a chill. Dr. Richardson having left on the 1st of this month, Dr. Bemiss was called in. I heard him say Mrs. Hood's case was the most remarkable one he had everi seen in his practice ; that there was I not a single symptom of yellow fe- C vr, and they did not know that she had it until the black vomit ap peared. She died at half-past 9 o'clock, P. M., Sunday night, and was buried at 10 o'clock, Monday morning. 1 never in my life saw a man so completely crushed as Gen. Hood was. I was with him Mon day morning till the funeral. He ( said he'd rather God should have e taken every one of his children in t one day than to have lost his wife ; a that he was completely ruined, and now, without his wife, he had no thing to live for. The precious lit- 6 tle lambs who had gone to bed Sun- 8 day night, knowing nothing of their e mother's death. began to come in one by one, until nine came in, and such a scene I never wish to wit- o ness again. After the children left, C he said, "Major, I have never had p the fever, but if I should have it, adit is God's will, Iam ready to. go. I have requested Col. Flowers - to take charge of my children and " appeal to the Confederate soldiers h to support them." He was taken f< Tuesday morning at 3 o'clock, and a died Friday morning at half-past 3. .. Mi., perfectly in his mind to with in ten minutes of his death. At * bout 2 o'clock he asked the doctor 3 if his time to die was not near at ei band. The doctor said, "Yes, Gen- n eral." Then a minister was sent for at his request to give him the last communion. As his death was anounced and no hour fixed for the funeral, very few were present. A k.........J. ~* C ...J J.1" nsurance on his life, not being able o keep up his policies.

While Commissioner Raum was in Maine violating the civil service rules by meddling with politics, an illicit distillery was set up under the shadow of his office. Citizens living in the neighborhood, and who were attending to their business, as Raum should have been, discovered the fraud and in formed the officials. The officials did not discover it. The example of their Chief was having its effect on them, and they were enjoying themselves. After March 4, 1881, we will have Federal officers who profess less and perform wore. Two ex-Senators, Dorsey, of Arkan. sas, and Conover, of Florida, have been owners of Republiuan papers in their respective States. Dorsey sup. ports Grant. Conover is for Sherman. Conover, by the way, holds an office under the Secretary of the Treasury. An order of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Hawley, promulgated on Monday, requires all Chiefs of Bu reaus to submit to his censorship all information that they contemplate giving to the public before it goes oul of the Department. This is not at al in accord with the spirit of our insti. tutions.

FOR TEE HERALD. The Glorious 3d. MONTICELLO, FAIRFIELD Co., S. C. Sept. 3, 1879. MESSRs. EDITORs: Abler pens than mine are required to record the sufferings endured and the noble deeds of daring done by that gallant band of men known as the 3d S. C. Regiment. South Carolina was the first State to assert her rights by withdrawing from the Union, and the 3d S. C. Regiment was among the first to respond to her call for troops to aid her in maintain ing her action. And from that time till the sad closing scenes surrounded us the 3d Regiment was always found in the front ranks, nor did she ever swerve from any duty, no matter how arduous, when called spon. The 3d Regiment was not only noted for its excellera drill, but for its indomitable will to "do or die" on the field of bat tle, and her long list of killed and wounded attests the truth of what I say. The names of our Foster, Nance, Rutherford, Garlington, Maffett, (who died in prison), Davidson, (who died in hospital, and whose last words when he left us were: "Boys, I would ra ther die on the battle field,") Hunter, Davenport, Buzhardt, Haltiwanger, and the many others whose names I have forgotten, together with the many privates who gave their lives a willing sacrifice to their country's cause, must ever remain green on our memories.

How many will there be at the Reunion on the 4th. The roll call will tell.

With almost every section is asso. ciated strange and startling events ; so intermingled with the superuatural that one is disposed to belive they are connected with the spirits of another woild ; while we do not entertain great faith in ghosts, yet all some times think there is a kind of spirit ualism existing, which whether we believe or no, yet by strange presenta tions attracts our attention as mar vellous in the extreme. A half century ago, when the slave trade on the high seas was briskly carried on, there was purchased by two citizens of the lower section of this County three Congo Africans. They were all it appears from one por tion of Africa, perhaps related. How beit they were particularly attached to each other, and whenever an opportu nity presented sought each other's company. In those days slave own ers were charitably kind, particularly the race of German settlers. The owners of these simple, ignoront, un christianed negroes noticed their warm attachments, and though living apart, allowed them to cultivate this feeling without resorting to forcible measures to break it up ; nevertheless, occasion ally it interfered with their duties. In this life we are the creatures of circumstances; sometimes when we imagine we are fixed and established, and have all our plans arranged, un expectedly we are troubled by finding that our hopes and expectations are but ropes of sand; so it happened in the case of one of these men; he im agined or conceived that his lands were gradually wearing out, when prompted by a desire to own more fer tile possessions, he allowed himself to be swayed by the ideas then prevail ing of seeking for this Eldorado in the great West. He was well to do in the world, and had by dint of hard labor and close eeonomy- accumulated quite a snug little sum of money. He determined to move ; he made all ar rangement, geared up his horses to his wagon, filled it with all necessairies as bedding, and-placed thereon his wife and children. Accompanying him was some two or three slaves, among whom was one of those A fricans, called Cuffee. It was really heartrending for one to have seen the separation of the three Africans ; the embraces, the tears, the agonies of mind they ap peared to be oppressed with; they actually had to be separated from each other by force. Being separated the wagon rolled away by the strength of a fine team, soon was lost amid the mighty forests of this country that spread out on every side. Mr. Jacob Sligh, for such was the gentleman's name, had made up his mind before~ starting to emigrate to Tennessee-a grain country. There were but few roads then, diverging here and there ; so he struck out, as the nearest and most direct route, by way of Newberry C. H., which then gloried in a solitary house and a blacksmith shop. On the second day, about sundown, he ar rived in the vicinity of Jalapa, when he imcagined he had travelled a great way and was now about on the con fines of Kentucky. He had never travelled so far North before. Jalapa then was a beautiful section, with its long drawn beautiful valleys, and glo rious highlands carpeted with grass and the wild pea vine and wild flow ers of every hue. The woods of those days were generally imposing. The trees were large and far apart, while deer and game of all kinds, which then was abundant, could be' seen at long distances. So picturesque and roman tic seemed to him the scenery, so fer tile appeared the soil, that it excited the admiration of this adversturous traveller and pioneer, who concluded that he had gone far enough West for one trip ; so he erected a tent for the time, tethered his team to feed on the wild grass, and looked around for a suitable place. The place he selected and purchased was the one which his son Simpson Sligh owns and lives on at present. In the meantime so great was the grief of Cuffee, that in his sorrows he attempted to get back to his comrades; but not being endowed with suffcient instinct to retrace his steps he lost his way, and in his wanderings and trou ble of mind unfortunately hung him self by the neck with a muscadine vine on a high post oak. In this sit uation he was found about two weeks fterwards by Mr. Sligh himself, whose attention was called while bunt ig in the woods, in search of Cuffee, by seeing a large number of buzzards whirling about on the summit of the ill, and who directing his steps thith r, to his astonishment saw poor Cuf fee's body swinging in the air. eneath the shades of the tree wherea his hndy swng it was, after Strange to say they have never been able to pass beyond a hill about 200 yards from the hill where lies the body of the African. Here the hounds in variably stop and lose trail, while no entreaties or blowings of the horn or threats can persuade them beyoud this rise. Witbin the circle enclosing the hill on which Cuffee lies, it is said by the natives of this section, can he seen now innumerable nuumbers of foxes which have been collecting for a long time, much to the surprise of the neighbors, who whenever is heard the hunter's born and the ringing music of the pursuing hounds, commence an interminable barking on every side, while in connection, far above the foxy discord, can be heard the wild yell of the Congo African's ghost, bid ding defiance to hounds and hunters and every one else. This spot has become the favorite resort now it seems of all the foxes in Newberry, gray as well as the red descendants of of Sam Shelton's importation from Virginia. It is the grand rendezvous from Broad, Enoree, Bush and Saluda rivers, as also from Indian and Dun can creeks, and is termed by hunters "The Fox's Paradise." It is said that sometimes Col. Cannon, who lives on a neighboring hill, when he hears the huntsman's horn, walks out to see the fun, and if he chances to see a fox drifting on, hallo's out to him . Hur ry up! hurry up ! Reynard to Cuf fee's grave, for that is your land of rest, where hunter's never come and where dogs dare not molest you. If any doubts this he has but to call on John Campbell, merchant at Jalapa, who will take great pleasure in showing the hill, beyond which dogs dare not presume and where the chase ceases; and if they are not fear fully superstitious, lead them over to the hill where the remains of the Congo African rest; amid the bushes and undergrowth of which can be seen peeping and slinking away, with rabid eyes, hundreds of foxes, and where if he chooses to remain, can be heard at night that ceaseless barking, intermin gled with the wild, defiant shrieks of Cuffee, as he cheers whenevei-he hears the fox hunter's horn and the cry of the hounds, his "Foxy Army" on. X. Foa Tm~ HERE&xD. Promninent New Yorkers. No one more prominent than the Rev. Morgan Dix, Rector of Trinity parish and son of the late Governor Dix. At heart he sympathizes with the ritualists, but his natural bent of of mind is Jesuitical, and therefore what encouragement he gives to the innovators just mentioned is rather covert than open. If he were to go to extremes, his - stry, though "high church'', might bring him up short, and thus he might lose a position which besides yielding a neat ten thousand a year, gives him great in fluence and enables him in many ways to extend aid and comfort to more open partisans of the new doctrines. So he trims his sails and like the skill ed pilot that he is, avoids difficulties, and steers his bark safely among be setting theological shoals and quick snds. He is tall and thin ; a nervous looking man ; his face clean shaven, complexion sallow, eyes gray and set deep in his head, nose of medium size, but far from classical, his lips thin and compressed, hair originally dark, now turning gray. Expression that of a man who has much to revolve in his own mind, which outsiders are not to know anything about. A face not illumined by a broad sunshiny look -a look in sympathy with human na ture and mankind in general. Yet he is a polite and courteous gentleman, but this is of course a result of educa tion. One might have supposed that by this time the influene of his hand some young wife, would have produced some modifying results, but however this may be at home, to the world at large there is still the same jesuitical, asetic appearance. St. Thomas (Episcopal) is pa' ex cellence the fashionable church of the city; having somewhat outstripped Grace which usied to carry off the palm. No greater contrast could be found than that which exists between Rev. Win. F. hiorgan the Rector, and he worthy individual of whom I have just endeavored to give you some idea- Dr. Morgan's face is filled with unshine, his manners though ex remely elegant. yet so kindly sympa hetic that one feels instantly at ease. He is above medium height, rather broad, his complextion clear, side whiskers and hair a pure white. His eatures are irregular but he is so emi ently gifted with the rather inex plicable something that we call "pre ence," that one is astonished after vards on a critical survey, to find some mperfections. His voice is remarka. >ly good and fills from end to end the spacious edifice where on Sundays he ave down the law to listening sin set plan or special study, just at this momncat I happen to think of Charles = A. Dana, the ivell known editor of the I Sun. His face hardly shows that bitterness of resentmenit which causes- I him to pursue so relentlessly those un lucky individuals who way have offended him. Like all acrimlsoLlous people he has plenty of enemies, bnt a the positiveness of his nature has caused friends also to rally around a him. le is a commanding looking V man ; tall, rather spare, having quite - regular features, and searching eyes; apparently between fifty and sixty; with long grey beard. He is restless t and quick in his movemcuts and gives t you a "yes" or "no" in answer with S such a look of sharp decisiveness, that t you know instinctively there is no use contending the matter against so imperious a will. ] James Gordon Bennett of the Her- f ald is also a tall man. His figure is good but his face is long and out of all proportion and thus he is debarred from winning the prize for beauty. His eyes are blue, his hair light, and his cowplexion florid. Miss Mary Booth, the editress of Earper's Basaar is not so much a woman of positive talent, as of ex cellent judgment, and entire relia bility. Her father was a professional man of Brooklyn, and she therefore comes justly by her inclination toward books. She is said to be handsom er now than she was as a young lady. Of that I cannot speak with certainty, but she is undoubtedly at present a fine looking lady, tall, some what portly and with white hair. She is very popular with persons of all eyes, and her receptions are usually well attended. LUCY CARTER. Judge Pressly's Way of Doing Business. Judge Pressly's charge to the grand jury on opening the Court last Mon day was so different from the or dinary charge on such occasions, that we invite the attention of the reader to our report of it which may be found i in another part of the Press aisd Banner. It seems that the Judge entirely omitted to remind us that Abbeville is the Athens of South 2 Carolina. While he neglected to to make a few original remarks about our celebrated Waddell school he also forgot to mention the names of our distinguished dead. In passing all these subjects which have heretofore I been a theme for highfaluting re marks he alike ignored thbe glorious victory of '76 as well as the former. political oppression from which we had suffered for eight long, weary years. We shonld like to know what the country is coming to, when a Judge sitting on the Bench of our high Courts neglects to entertain the crowded Court room with such things as are pleasing to the ear. He didn't even refer to our promising young men, who are rising to fill the places and to surpass the distinction of those p who have "gone before." Time will di show whether we are to put up withL this old fogy way that Judge Pressly has of simply doing his duty~ without f lattering us at all.-Abbeville Press & Banner.A 6range Departmsent.
