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:

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

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

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

mother's death. began to come in
one by one, until nine came in, and
such a scene I never wish to wit- o

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.

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. Peace to their ashes. We
must now turn to the living veterans ;
but before I proceed let us drop a tear
to the memory of our late lamented
Capt., Thomas W. Gary. Officer, sol
dier, friend, farewell!l The living,
where are they now to those whose
elbow touch was felt for four years ?
Scattered, gone-gone to their homes.
Yes, wherever they are it is home ;
any place is the home of the soldier.
Some, too, have gone to their graves.
I do not know their names, but God
bless them. How many will there be
at the Reunion on the 4th. The roll
call will tell. I wish it were so that
I could swell the ranks of the privates
by my presence, but business is such

Legend of Jalapa.
Cuffee's Grave.
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.

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.

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;

and quick in his movemcuts and gives t

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

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 &
