Orookednless in the Commuis sioner's Office. Mr. Andrew Laughlin,. a clerk in the office of Commissioner Coit, at Columnbia, was arrested the 1st instant, charged with grar'. larce ny in abstracting Bills of the Bank of the State from packages present ed for cancellation. By a recent Act of the Legislature Mr. Jas. C. Coit,of Chesterfield, who is'the can 4idate for Comptroller-General on the Democratic ticket, was selected to fund the Bills of the Bank of the State. Parties holding these bills were requested to hand them to the Uommissioner, whose duty it was to pass upon the genuineness.of the Bills, and to fund those that were genuine. .For the purpose of .dis tinguishing the genuine from the .eomnterfe.it,he employed M~r. Laugh lin, as an expert. At the preliminary examination of Mfr. Laughlin before Trial Jus tiee Fiekling, Mr. Coit testified that he snapected nothing wrong till he was sent for by Gov. Simp son the 29th of June, who told him there was suspicion of irregulari ties, and that one of the packages that had been examined a.nd sealed ?ip by Mr. Laaughlin did not coptain the amount it was certified to con tain. Mr. Coit counted a package certi.fied 82,015.35, and found it to contain only $1,616.10. He then s ou.nted several others-some were found all right, others short. He then had Mr. Laughlin arrested ; upon the preliminary examination he could give no satisfactory expla nation of iMb discrepancies, and was bound oyer to appear for trial at the July Court of Sessions. The amont of Bills that have passed through the hands of Laugh lin is $600,000 ; there is no telling the amant of the deficiency, and it will take two or three months to recount all the packages. Judicial Convention at Spar tanburg. ~The Chairmen of the Executive Committees of Newberry, Lsaurens, Spartanburg and Union Counties met in Spartanburg the .1st inst., and decided to hold a~ Convention at Spartanburg the 13th inst., at 7). P. Mi., to nominate a Solicitor for the Sevent h Judicial Circuit. Journaiisfi' iterprise. The ('olambia ] i.ter, the day after the unveiling of the Newberry Monument, contained a very accu .rate and full accoarnt of the whole proceedings, including the prayer, the poem, the speech, the 471 names on the monument, &c., the whole occupying nearly eight columns of small print. This report, gotten up by Messrs. C. H. Beard and Arthur C. Moore, has received very high praise, as it well deserves. We congratulate the Regi.ster and its reporters. We get the Register at Newberry now a little after 10 o'clock; it is brought-up on the freight train. Hancock and Mrs. Surratt. The Republicans are trying to make capital out of Hancock's con nection with the execution of Mrs. Surratt. The Boston Pilot says : "Our Republican friends will stop the Surratt question when they re member that, although Gen. Han cock was the officer in charge of the execution, Gen. Garfield was a member of the Board that con demned her to death." The Trip to Cincinnati. The ride from Greenville to Atlan ta was made in the company of Maj. W. J. Houston, one of the politest and most entertaining railroad officials it was ever our fortune to meet. Maj. II. is the general ticket agent of the Piedmont Air Line, and was regularly accredited by Col. G. J. Foreacre to go with the Association and see that no member got off the track, and to make himself generally agreeable. Truly the lives fell unto us in pleas ant places, every inch a gentleman, genial, attentive, entertaining, no one better qualified could have been selected to fill so responsible and arduous a posi tion. To the officers of this superb road the Press Associatiou of South Carolina are largely indebted for dis tinguished favors not only on this recent occasion but in the past. Their whole course has been liberal, magnificent; and to them also are we indebted in negotiating our way over the Western and Atlantic and the Cincinnati Southern roads: The Air Line is exerting its powerful influence in building up the waste places of the 'Piedmont belt by inducing and en -couraging inunigration-see article from Greenvilie Daily .News elsewhere -and in reference to which we will re cur again. The trip, was made quickly and pleasantly in special coaches and never -before used, and all the prominent features pointed ouit, the Major des canting e loquently and intelligently all along and particularly dwelling upon the capacity of Gainesville as a chick en iuarket-yellow legged-and that it was peculiarly adapted as a resort for hungry editors-there being thir ty hundred shipped from that point in one day, with eggs in proportion. J. W~. Miller, formerly of Newberry, is there with~ an avoirdupois of two hun dred. At Beliton picee up our old Newberry friend, John Blats, looking thin but hearty, and dressed in un commonly nice store clothes, who kept in company to Atlanta. lie .has a good wife and a pretty, bright little girl, who kissed us for her grandma here. The gate city was reached at 10 o' lock p. in., and like well behaved fel lows the party all sought their "little beds", fatigge no doubt having some. thing to do with their goodness. LStill on good behavior the different church es were visited nexC morning, after which a dinner, such only as the Kim ball House can furnish, and then away for Chattanooga. Nearing this point igith a view of Mi.sionary Ridge to our right, and passing the memorable Chickamauga many interesting "'miniscences of the time which tried men's souls enliven ed the way. At eight Chapanooga was reached, and a brisk walk of five minutes brought us to the Staunton Hotel, a handsome and imposingstruc ture of ela'porate Qinish, sittgated on the right of the city about a mile dis tant, and seemingly immediately un der the brow of Lookout Mountain, for miles away. We recall tenderly the delicious sLeak served to eight hun gry -editors that night, who 'did not sup at Dalton. Another good rest, a Isunrs~ view of a most charming coun try, the valley city to the right with Lookout in front, all bathed in soft sunshine formed a beautiful picture, giving a first class appetite for a splen did breakfast; and away we start at seven for Cincinnati, distant three hundred and thirtysi milep, throggh for the most part, mountain gorges, tunnels, over rivers, immense bridges, and a picturesque scenery which filled as with delijgh. In a special train furnished express y for the Association by ithe miunifi ent Cincinnati Southern Rail Road, Iand in the ten.der care and keeping of Col. J. F. Blackburn, secretary el the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce,Maj. J. H. Long, Secretary of the Cincin nati .Board of Trade, E. P. Wilson, eneral passenger agent, and J. W. Marstella, Secretary of the Cincinnati1 Southern, appointed by chamber, board and road, to take us to the city, the P'ress party and guests, including Gov. 'Simpson, Gen. Ragog, C!. Beatty and H. Y. Simpson, rode the rail in royal style. The committee did their duty nobly. The Cincinnati South e;-n is a spIendid road, elegantly ap pointed. nd free from dast, the 3ntire be ein laid in broken stone, n trincely dinnei (copliuentary'), the air isenssion of which required time; stup h i :"lre cnteriu<g a tunnel of ,uiu. :u I entIi id density t1f drniie.s,tO u:itrgo wlhich 'meO f,t the tuid on"s I 13 :i to str.ngthen their back bones . With an infusio Of Cincinnati lager, (the iroduction to that beverage.) a forethought and attention by the ct:nmitte which cannot be too highiy comn r:c:ded ; the great iron bridge over the Keutucky,said to be the high est in the United States,. (two hun dred and eighty five feet). and a whole world of other things so hindered that the smoke covered city was not enter ed until eight o'clock-the time was rapi;. .,; m iles in 10 running hours. This was .1.uday night, and the next consideration was our lodgings which had been represented to jus on paper as pleasan.t, comfortable and perhaps rooly. Assigued at the depot,the party 'bussed (dry bus) it to o75 Elm Street, and forty.ive men were ushered into an ordinary sized sittirg room denu ded of furniture and laid out with ten white spread cots, in the most hospital wauner. Oh ye gods, faucy the feel ings of the forty five ! it is no wonder that one coinpleteiy impressed with the situation ejaculated in forcible lan guage. It was not so bad as it looked however, there were other roous, none of which were so crowded as the first one entered, then they were clean and bright as a new piOn, the bedding ditto, and a plentiful supply of iced cistern water. Our landlady, a middle aged widow lady, was charmingly pleasant, and blessed with two accomplished and handsome daughters, for either one of who:n ieSweeuey, Todd and Wilson would have died. The latter rather had the inside track by reason of the cuormous size of his valise, which it was thought he carried to hold samples of patent insides, but which we think contained currency. 1n proof of its size a negro who under took to tote it brealing down asked a draynan to give him a lift of 'dis lit tle grip sack' as he pleasantly calied it, to which the other responded by asking what was the size of a trunk. Quartered, too, near Music Hall, where the Convention was held, Made it lively in the extreme. This build ing is said to be the largest and haud somaest in the United- States ; it is cer tainly the largest we have ever seen, a:;d the scene inside on assembling Tuesday morning was bewilderingly grand and beautiful, a perfect sea of faces mieetiag the eye. and forming a sigh t albuust indescriba ble ; t housads of waving fajis .and handkerchiefs, swaying bauuers, the mnultitudiaous sound of eager, expectant voices, the swell of the grand organ, the martial musec, the filing in of the different delegatious, the cheers, &c., was a siht not witnessed every, day. But wve do not propose to do the Conven tion, that has been already done. In the afteruoon, Mr. J. F. Blackburn still act ing for the Cincinnati Southern gracefully invited the Association to place itself in his charge the following day with the reservatior that no ques tious be asked. Wi'.h the jrn:Ct trust of sucklings Unanimous assent was made. The Press gang were de termined to show their bringing up or peish in the attempt, Wednesday found us on the qui vive, and at ten a string of ten elegant carriages took position around 375 .Elm, harnessed to which were uine pair of tuilk white hores, the tenth being drawvn by jet blacks. Seated, the procession nmoved, and'a pretty sight it proyed to ti;e crowd assembled on the streets, many of whom no doubt thought that the dark horse of the Convention occupied the carria ge drawn by the blacks. With a thought of the 'forty grey horses all in a row," which landed some one "on the other side'of Jordan," we imagined a similar destin.ation ; but not so, for the first place stopped at was the immense brewery of Mr. dohn Kaufman, where the party was very much lagered. 'This estabhihment makes about 300 kegs a day, a mere drop in the bucket for this beer loving comnmunity. Next up one of the inclined planes (there are four') twyo carriages at one time going on the incline, -no one de lining, up at an angle of about 45 degrees, till the 45 were landed in a spciotus garden and pavilion, at an elevation of 300 feet a'bove the city. Leaving the Association in the hands of Mr. Blackburn for a moment we in form the reader that the city proper is in a badn or valley sgrrgaee by hills from 300 to 40,0 feet 'high 'which stretch away into the distant coun try, and these are built up with beau tiful residences in every~ conceivable formi (f vrebiitecture anid with peer garens~ or restauraits, somne of theufi capable of holding ten thousand per o T he population is estimated at. fro I-- to (0J,&i96, the predomiina ting bell].

This speaks voluwes for Cincinnati and beer ; would that the same could be said of other places we know. To return, a s-msfying and delightful fea ture of the day was a sumptuous din ner given us at the Zoooio,ical Gar deus-this was a magnificent spread doing honor to the Cincinnati South ern and filling up our columns to the exclusion of any other matter. It is next to impossible to tell in this short account one half of the de light experienced. " thc hospitalities showered upon us irm a.l quarters. Long will we eherish the memory of the visit and the unwe:aryinr attention of Mr. }Bluekburn, who act ini in the double capacity as Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and as repre sentative of the Cincinnati Southern contributed so much to our comfort and pleasure. As a slight apprecia tion the Association presented to him a handsome gold headed walking cane. A visit Friday afternoon the last of our stay to the Cincinnati Type Foun dry was alike interestinz and profita ble, and to those who never saw the making of type, it was a curiosity in deed. The kindest attentions were shown us by the gentlemanly proprie tors, and we are pleased to add that the handsome likeness of Gen. Han cock which adorns the herald was made there and presented to us. A complete outfit for a first class office can be furnished by this Foundry and at a reasonable price. With the fall of twilight regretfully leaving a city where so much had been s.eu, and a people whose hospitality knew no stop, we turned homeward, taking the same route back, about two thirds of the party accepting an invi tation from the Louisville and Nash ville road to return by that route and to take in the Mammoth Cave, we reached Seneca city on the Air Line Saturday night, and by hack next morning to Walhalla, and thence home delighted to get back once more to rest aud.;guiet.

Line Railroad Cornpaniy-is arranging for an excursion that promises to be a grand one. Realizing the fact that many South Carolinians who fled from the political and miaterial joiin that1 impended a few years ago are scatter ed about the State of Texas, where they sought homes; and knowing that. many of them had been disappointed in their ex pecta;ion, and long to return to their old homes and help to build up their native State; Col.

Cald well, Esq., of Newberry. Let the bells cuil. iushed be the sounds of carelessness and mirth, Vhiie every heart and every soul oins in the dirge those solemn voices roll or galiant dead now sleeping deep in earth. Mourn for the brave, Vto, rushing forward at their country's call, save up, for her, ease, pleasure, riches-all Buriing to free her, yet content to fail For the dear cause they could not save. On every field they fought, Where Southern valor won immortal name: 'riey suffered and wrought, With but the single thought, fo keep their 'ieutcheons clear of spot or blame and fix their country's freedom and her fame. 'Mid Summer's heat and Winter's snow, l'hey toiled their marches' weary length; They saw the seasous come and go, Saw fortune's swift tide ebb and flow. They spent their youth, their mind, thei strength, They drained serene the deepest cup of woe, And now they lie around us, silent, cold and low. Low, low, thev lie, rheir swords and firelocks reddened o'er with rust, heir glorious forms are mouldered in the dust. No more can we descry The bright, the beauteous eye, No more behold the smile That thrilled our hearts erewliile All these are gone we loved to love and trust. Their limbs were hewed with murderous sabre stroke, The bolts of lead and iron pierced their hearts, What time the field was wrapped in dust and smoke, And shouts and cheers through all the welkin broke, And cannon shook the earth in all her parts. Some fainted and fell, overcome by the way, In the dead of night, in the glare of day. In the hospital's poisoned air Some breathed their last sigh of despair, Far from all that to them was loving or fair; Some struggled outworn to their homes once again, To pine in sorrow and perish in pain. Now then sleep well-all through the dreary night As in the morning's or evening's light, Whether before us or far out of sight. The grasses grow, The sweet :aowerets blow, Above the mounds that mark their resting places. All the warm, clear Summer's day The bird upon the swinging spray Pours iorth for :bem his softest lay And zephyrs fold their graves in' tenderes: embraces; They are quite free from every care and an guish, We, we alone, are left to toil and languish. There is no need for weeping: They are not dead, nor sleeping. Their nighty spirits live and mov on high; Their death was but trans}ation To ai loftier occupation, In the Master's grand creation, That is spread beyond the region of the sky. And their earthly work and glory Is not ended with the story Of the battles that they fought or the griefi they suffered here: They to-day arc close beside us They are here to speak agd guiae us Through whaitever r.ates betide us Here to fire our souls with courage and tc fill our hearts with cheer. Check your regrets, restrain fond -nature's sigh: Behold their lives in all their eiergy: And tell me if such heroes ever die. The call has been sounided. Ah me, how hearts bounded, As it told of the end put to wond'ring and - wt.i:ing. The banners are streaming, Trhe bright arms are gleaming And every eye hearming, Impatient of any delay oi- belating. To the front! To the front! As our fathers were wont, When the land was assailed by the stranger. No cowards are here, No man feels a fear; But we haste to appear On the field of excitement agd danger. They stay but to tell A hasty thireWell, As th-ey setei- frdm sister and brother. TIhey take the sire's blessing, The lover's band-pressing, The wife's fond caressing And last; the good-bye of the mother. Take that after the rest: 'Tis the purest and best. leaven itself knows no nobler affection. Take it fresh to the s:rife, Keep it with you through life: Full of comfort it is, and protection. 'hid the cr'owds' shout and hum, And the sound of the drum,-. 'hey march, with hearts bounding and leap. Ah, lit tle they know That be hind them is woe, .nd darkness, and silence, and weeping. inthe eamnpi In the camp! Hear the quick, heavy tramp )f battalions in drilling and training!

The combat waxes hot Che~er given for cheer, and shot for 3hot., The air with hellish din re-ounds: Men fall to earth with ghastly wounds. The daylight sickens: horrors brood And blacken o'er the field of blood. d. Astill, though failing with the heat With weary hands and aching feet We tight, till see! how, one by one, The toe give back-they fail-they run! Charge home!-And now the work is done! Softly the shadows of night do fall, Softly the darkness rests, like a pall; Silently glimmer the stars overhead, Watch'ing the wounded men and the dead. Silently many a cold, glazed eye Stares from the dank earth to the sky. They have fought like men-they have fought their best: And living and dead are taking their rest. * * * * * * * * * * Another scene of hard and irksome life Presents itself as parcel of this strife. 'Tis winter, cold and cruel winter, now. The tents, the cabins are weighed down with show. The fierce winds rage, the heavens are all a cloud: The earth is wrapped in nature's funeral shroud. Hungry and chilled we pass the livelong day, On guard, or drill, or resting as we may. And when the gloomy day at length expires, We crouch and seek for warmth by scanty fires. And when those fires expend their flickering light, And gone is every sound and every sight, We lay us down in sorrow and in night. Nor rest we all. His solitary round The sentry walks upon the frozen ground, Silent and sad amid the dark profound. At drear outpost the lonely picket stands, Grasping his rifle in his aching hands. He listens, and be strains his weary eye, Till every bush becomes an enemy, Till every wail of wind becomes a cry. Shivering and fainting at his post he stands. Across the stream he hears the distant bands, Making glad music to the prosperous foe Music despite the winter's wind and snow. He hears the sound of distant revelry: He hears the laugh, the choral song grow high, While he is wretched, sick, and like to die, Benumbed with cold he drowses. In his dreams A bright room shines, a blazing hearthstone gleams. The clock ticks cheerily; the clear lamps burn; Women and ctildren welcome his return. He seats him joyous at the festive board ; Partakes the viands of the housewife's hoard; Quaffs strengthening wine, and all his heart doth bound As merry talk, and song, and laugh go round ; And blesses heaven that rest at last is found. He wakes with sudden shock and sharpest pain. The night-wind pierces all his soul'again: His dream is fled : the respite all in vain. ** * * * * * * * Behind the crumbling fortress wall Confederate Boldiers fight and fall. 'lid air befouled and se thing hot, 'Mid screaming shell and crushing shot, 'Mid heaps of dead, 'mid groass of dying, They sternly stand, the dread work plying. By day, by night, by land, by sea, A thousand guns relentlessly Rain down their bolts at every breath, And hold the carnival of death. So days and weeks of torture pass. The fort becomes a shapeless mass Stones, timbers, cannon, earth, all piled In mounds confused, iin phaqs wild. All else gives way; all else goes down; The soldier's heart survives alone. No rest they seek, no quarter crave, Resolved to fix there in the wave Fair freedom's home or freedom's grave! * * e* * * * '* * * The mind grows weary, and the heart grows faint, As fancy seeks these wofql scenes to paint Unceasir.g labor and uniceasing care No i'rdedom and no respite anywhere Long, dreary marches, hunger, drought and cold All pangs the pest-house yields or prisons hold Watching and strife and dar,ger without end, ~illions ;gaiist us and no man our friend. Our arinies waste and languish, and at home Want, care, bereavement wrap the land in gloom. Our rulers pass the time in vain disputc: The people's heart's are still, their voices mute: Fresh thousands to the foeman's standard swarm, As clou4s pour forward to the gathering storm. All natu?e seems to shudder, and await The last prodigious thunderbolt of fate. Vast navies gird and hover round the coast, And hold the stream that cuts our land in twain. Forts1 citips, states, successiyely' gre lost /gihopes deceive, hail struggles seem in vain. They harry all the Imnd with sword and flame; Their legions crowd from mountain to th e sbore. They giju their rage in every deed of shame: Their path is marked with ashes and with gore. Two armies dare to face these thousand still Weak, wasted, starving, worn with care and strife, But bearing ys' tl. -niconquierable will To battl~tothe'la a breath of life. They know their sufferings and their dangers well: They see the trials and the terrors nigh: They seem to hear the nation's fgngral knell: And yet tyey spora to pitrley or to fly. The pulse of spring that stirs all nature's fraime, Moves the beleaguering myriads day by day: They fill the air wjh ing and hoarse ac claim~ They spread abroad their glittering, stern array. They sweep along through haglg gd through~ tcwn, They printge sselft rivers, floor the deep morass; Abattis, breastwork, fortress all go down Alike in rack n~d ruir as thag~ppass. The land is gooded with a living tide: Great armies pour their thousands far and near: They smite our feeble band on every side: They storm with fury front and flank and rear. The dawn is ushered in with cannon's roar, .j The day drags on in tumult and n gght, The sun goes dpWar~nOr sees the conifhet o'er; Adud~tars dd vol'leys ring through all3 the night. We stand, we fight, retreat and fight again, . But ever yield before that mighty force. a We strew our arms. o ir vfande4 and our slain ' 0 er all the windings of our devious course. t The capital falls, in riot and on fire; Scattered brigades are taken one by one.

'I'is a sim;>le heart otfering, tenderly, rev erently dedieated to the memory of our saint. ed dead, and the sutviving veterans of "T loved lost cause". A grateful people we comie to-dyy, This last sad rite to sadly pay, Our loved and lost; And on that shaft inscribed we see, The names so dear to thee and r., Of those who died. Oh, stately shaft of marble white, Fit emblem of that honor bright, Thou dost commemorate; 'he honor of our slainless dead, O'er whose graves wild flowers shed, Their fragrance sweet. By woman's work this shaft was reared, And consecrated by her teat, Oh, laurels rare: Fit tribute for a soldier's tomb, A star to gild the deepest gloom, To, gi?d e" this fai' shrine. Oh! memory bells, how sad ye ring, As back so vividly ye bring The bitter past; Wh1ile hearts grown old with care, Sadly turn to the vacant chair, Of him who ne'er came back. Never came back say the wvhispering breee Never came back say the falling leaves? * Never came b.aclk. But we turn with pride to their stainless crest And soft'ly murmiur God knew best, The way for us and them. Green be the memory of our soldiers brave Sleeping~far off in hor.ored grave Their dreamless sleep; They have crossed the river and stand on the Waiting to welcome their comrades o'er To Paradise and God. And that time nor tide may not efface, Upon this shaft with love we trace Their names arnd where they tell; Their banners are furled, their swords ar4 sheathed, But their names with deathless fame are wreathed, Our own illustrious dead.
