Wo tako tho following lotter from the Toccoa Rooord. Mr. Jarnos Duke, tho writer, has many fyi end s in Oeoneo who aro interested in him and will he glad to learn through TUB CointiHit where ho is and what ho is doing : Juro, PIIILU'PINK ISLANDS, Juno 1.-Tho 23d United States Infantry, of which I am a member, after spending many months in the city of Manilla, where thoy had much im portant duty to perform, was, on tho 17th of May, 181)9, ordered to lonvc for tho island of Julo. To speak of Manilla's battles, fought there an 1 close by, would only bo to repeat what the people have read over and over again in the different newspapers and magazines, and described moro thoroughly than I could ever hope to do. Therefore, I refrain from saying anything thereof, except that tho Twenty Third has done its full duty in every respect, though probably not heard of (juite so much as some other regi ments. This can bo easily explained. We have no newspaper correspond ent ready to steal for us credit duo to some other outfit, or who is ready at any time to picture a con test and glaring victory for some company of soldiers wilie)) he may represent, which evvy have been nothing more than a dozen free oaths, a few blows with the fist, all over a half dozen aniegues Filipinos, No, wo haven't any such correspond ents with us, consequently we arc not in tho papers lighting, and in si battle every few days or raising thc American Hag over some newly con quered territory, which some othoi regiment may actually have dono. Wc will get the full credit due whei the true history of the war is written with true facts ; such as will bi studied and read in the schools o our land. When tho history of thf Spanish-American war and tin Philippine rebellion becomes a tex book for our schools, then will tho gallant 23d be hoard of; yes, read studied and appreciated ; thus wil our deeds live as long as biston lives. How much more beautiful ii this than to morely see a few deed falsely credited to us in tho column! of some yellow journal, to bo vent one day and then east away. The *25id left Manilla on tho 17tl of May. We embarked upon th? Spanish transport, Leon XIII, ant three days later landed at Julo is land (pronounced llulo), where .wi relieved the Spanish soldiers win were doing garrison duty at tba plaee. Wc had not been on shop one hour before a detail was mad for guard duty, to relieve the Span isli soldiers who were doing duty a different posts ami outposts insid and outside the city. Within twenty four hours from tho time we lande' the Spaniards with all their belong inga had taken our places on th transport, which was to take thei * to Barcelona, their homo. Everything was done quickly an quietly ; tho only thing to nhiv tlioro was anything unusual tnkin plaee was the little celebration al tending the raising up of the Amer can Hag. The American and Spat ?sh soldier, inarched up tho mai street, thence to the headquarter where the Hag was raised. The band played tho Spanish ni tional air and tho Spanish Hag wi hauled down, whilo thc gunboi Helena, lying in tho bay, fired tl customary salute. Then oame tl American Hag. Thc band playt "Star Spangled Banner," anotb salute from tho gunboat, and all w over-all done in less than oi hour's timo. Therefore, when y< think of tho many far-away islan ovor which gallantly floats ti American flag, you must, not forg the island of Julo. Where is Julo? you ask. Well, IS about 700 miles South of Mani! It is but a few miles from Borne and it is only a few hundred mi! Southwest of hero lo the shores East India, in short, wo aro prot near across tho continent. Julo is by far tho most hoautif island of tho whole Philippine grou it ha? but throe village"-- two theso aro governed and held by t natives. Tho third, and largest, the town of Julo, which is held a governed by American soldiers. T ".'hi have it all to tliomscivcs. inhabitants, mostly Chinamen ; some Filipinos and very few natives. Tho Chinese condnot all the business in tho town. Some of them aro oon sidorod wealthy, and all of thom aro glad to see Americans here, instead of tho Spaniards, whom they detest. Now to des?Hue tho little oity it is suflloicnt to say that it is a park-a! beautiful park. Thoro aro no grand buildings, monuments or other orna ments winch go to mako up a oity of note. Tho storo houses aro com mon two-story fratno buildings, while tho few residonces aro ordi nary ono-Htory cottogos. A prottior place, howover, is hard to lind. There aro largo, fino trees along tho sireots-not one street, but all streots-and littlo flowor beds aro in abundance throughout tho town. The placo is si/nply beautiful. There are no strcot oars, haoks or othor 8uoh conveyances, not ovon a boree, HO it is merely a park. Tho climate is very fine. It is a great deal healthier hero than at Manilla. I Ot course, some parts of the day aro very hot, but tho latter part of tho afternoon and early even ing hours are just cool enough to bo comfortable, while tho later hours of thc night have A little tondonoy to be chilly, and that is saying a great deal for this part of tho world. Wo aro seven hundred miles South of Manilla. Julo, which I havo made a vain endeavor to describe, is tho presont home of the 23d Infantry, and a hotter placo tho officials could not havo sont us, so wo think. Wo aro comfortably quartorcd ; we aro pleased ; wc enjoy ourselves, ovon though tho plaee may have a slight sign of lonolinoRB. Wc have a beau tiful bay, where wo swi.u, row and fish, when not on duty, and it is thc only place to go for recreation. Ol course thoro is a fino country baot of tho city with largo hills and moun tains, and where grows all kinda ol fruit. Cocoanut trees aro abundant hut wo have no desire to satisfy om curiosity ns to tho country outside I speak of ourselves as individua parties. As a company, our regi ment is ready and willing at anj time to investigate, but for two o three of us to venturo out alon? would bo mere suicido, '.s tho na tives say we have no business out sido the walls of tho city ; in faot they have not yot decided whothe wc have any business hero at all o not. This question is, howovor, fo us to decide and not thom, and w have decided to remain hore. Whothor we shall havo a fi gb hore or not we do not know, bu it is very lilt y wo will. Tho Sui tan has been in to soo our officer several times, and some how doc not saem satisfied ; therefore, i would not surprise us to bo called t arms at any moment. Tho native here ave called Mhoors. They Ix lie ve and practice tho Mahomcda religion. They are by no moans ( a friendly disposition, and aro n< to bo trusted. In appearance tho do not at all resemble tho Filipin of Luzon island. They aro muc darker in color, stupid, ugly an desperate looking. Their tooti which are their pride, are of a shin black. All thc clothes that ono of tho people wear could bo mado out i two yards of cloth. Each ono i these people carry a large knife. W call them bolos. They aro of a p ouliar shape. They havo a hand about six ?nobes long, whilo tl blade is five inches wide and abo fifteen inches long, an ugly article feast your eyes on, you may bo sui These knives are their woapons war, as they have very few guns ai still less ammunition. Tlioy n used to fighting witli thoir kniv against rifles, for thoy and tito Spa ?ards had many little battles duri tho Spaniard's reign boro. These Mhoors aro quick and ai ive, expert with thoir knives, n they can spring upon ono witli t agility of a cat. They aro foarlc Death is naught to thom ; for to killed is to go direot to hoavon, a to kill a Christian-that is what tli call us-is to accomplish a groat a good deed, for which their rewt will be heaven aftor death. Suoli their religion. Wo would muohp fer they bad rifles to fight with, though it is not pleasant to ho sli yet it is certainly moro horrihlo ho butchered with ono of thoso u knives, yet, before long, we /oar will havo to fuco thcao unoivlli beings and thoir ugly looking w pons, unlesR our officers and tho S tan can agrco upon 8omo reasonn , term of pence. However, tho ?? tan demands moro rights and pr loges than our ofilcors oan posai yield to thom, though they aro n\ mg cvory honest effort to maint I order and avoid bloodshed. Should we be oom polled to fight these people there in no doubt that just ono good battle will ho euflloiont to loam thoBO dovili?h Mhoors what American soldiers oan do, as well as to bring that obstinate Sultan to his senses. I onunot desoribe this Sul tan, for I havo not soon him, but those fow who havo had a glimpse of him, Buy that ho is oonsidorahly bettor looking than tho common Mhoors ; is quito woll dressed, con sidering tho stylo of this island, but, goodness knows, ho has something liko oightcen wivos to tnko caro of him, so there is no reason why ho should not bo well taken euro of, and count a few pair of calico pants iu his wardrobe. Tho placo where tho Sultan re sides is about one-half milo from tho oity and closo to tho shore, faoing tho bay, and in excellent position to bo bombarded by our gunboat, should ho hecomo too cranky to deal with. The building is a largo, square, throe story building, and oan oasily bo soon from tho city. Tho principal products of tho island aro hemp, fruit ond coffee. Coffoo is not grown in any largo quantities. Tho most pay ing industry is that ot pearls. Pearl divers aro plontiful, tho most of thom are Chinamen, and thoy seem to prosper in their dangerous voca tion. It is claimed that Julo is tho cheapest place in tho world to buy pearls. Oh, yes, tho women, 1 had almost forgotton thom ! There is not much to say of them. They wear trou sers ; they aro not. pretty, hut quito tho reverse, and like tho mon. It don't take many yards of calico to dress thom. Thoy aro known, how ovor, to bo faithful, kind-hearted and obedient, but slaves to tboir men, yot tho men think a grant donl of thom, and would go miles and fight hard to avengo an insult di SUMMER HAT rooted to ono of tboir women. Among themselves, woman is an ar ticle to bo bought and sold and ex ohangod. Moat of tho Chinamen in town havo nativo women for wives, whom thoy bought from the Mhoors, for which they paid from $20 to ^ 100 each. I have beon hore for nearly ono year and I will bo glad when my time comes to return home. I will bc happy to onco moro return homo, for lot mo say that tho beautiful scenery of these far away islands, tho curious people and tho many other objects too Humorous to men tion, aro all very well to havo scon and to retain in my memory as a pioturo to look at, think of and to talk about, hut not a country for mo to livo In. Tho boautiful hilltops, mountains and valloys of old Geor gia aro far moro beautiful and dear to mo than any othor part of tho world, and whoa I once more sot my foot on Georgia's soil, my birthplace, homo, friends and ovorything that is dear to man, I will simply ?ny : "It is well to havo soon tho other, hut hero in Goorgia lot mo live my lifo ; hore lot me dio ; for boro only cnn I live my lifo happy and content." .TAMK?

Out of this total of about 52,000 it finds that nearly 21,000 aro from tho agricultural classes, or a percentage of 40.2 from tho farm. This percentage varies largely in different sections of tho country. It is 50.0 in tho South, 45.8 in tho far West, 40.1 in tho Central West, 20.4 in the Middle States and 20.1 in New England.

SuMTKit, Auguat 4.-Tho piouio at wlsioh Tillman spoke to-day began ns a poaco and unity1 lovo foast. but at tho end thoro was lots of giugor, aud tho Sonator, who had doolared in his morn ing Hpooch that tho pooplo woro gotting along protty well, and lio would Bay nothing to raino old issuos or rovivo old nnimoBitios, and protested ngaiust tho hoavy coats of "butter" that had boon laid on him by Dr. II.

Smith, that ho was no goody-good poaco and unity man, and that thoro had already boon too nundi of that sort of thing. In tho afternoon Congressman Stokos ?node a speech and then Representative E. D. Smith was called to tho stand. Ho proceeded to rub oft' tho "butter" by going for tho disponsary and tho man agement of Winthrop and Clemson Col logos. Senator Tillman replied in a speech nearly an hour long that had all of tho earmarks of au 18U0 campaign mcotiug. Ho ropudiatod tho demand that ho dis charged his dutioa in Washington and runStato nftabs also. Ho Bald ito would bo a candidato for rc-oloction and would tako a hand in the next campaign, stump ing ovory county in the Stato in support of tho disponsary if necessary. Ho would lick tho opponents of tho system out of thoiv boots or go down with it? ruins. He assoitcd that tho disponsary was not intended to bo a moral institu tion, but a placo whoro people who wanted to drink could got all they want* od of a ?ood quality and tho Stato ro coivo tho profits. It was forced on him, anyway. Ho found tho dovil loose when ho wont into ofllco and ho did not attempt to chain him. Tho State had to chooso botwoon prohibition and tho disponsary, and as tho Prohibitionists wcro a sot of hypo crites and cowards, tho choice foll on tho disponsary.

Proves tho Dispensary is a Doluslon Out of tho Senator's Own Mouth. In tho NOWA and Courier of tho 6th is a brief report of Senator Till man's speech in Sumter. In his spocoh in tho afternoon, aftor ho had oatou his dinner, and whon most mon would have been at peace with tho whole world, tho Sonator lost his temper and said some very ugly things ; among othor things ho doclared that ho was no poaco or unity man, by which uttoranco he imparts ro .information to tho peo ple of South Carolina, for his wholo record shows that ho has been a stirrer of strife over sinco he ontored thc political arena. Indeed, ho rode into oflico upon a wave of strife and bit terness as has novor boon witnessed boforo in this State, and oven now ho realizes that lim future success de pends upon again arraying brother against brothor and croating, if ho can, that old time strife and bitter ness of which the peoplo of our State aro sick and tired. But tho" writer desires especially to call attention to tho remarks made by Senator Till man at Sumter on tho 4th instant in his reference to tho Prohibitionists. According to tho report in the News and Courier, he used tho following language : "Tho Stato had to choose between prohibition and tho dispensary, and ns tho Prohibitionists wpro a sot of hypocrites and cowards, tho choico fell on the dispensary." Now, it may bo remarked at tho outset that this articlo is written without any desire to engage in a controversy with Sonator Tillman, but, inasmuch as tho writer had the honor to lead in tho light for prohib ition last year, ho feels it to bo his duty to say somothing on tho aub jeot. It will bo seen that tho Sena tor's statoment ia characterized by his usual reoklessnoss. .lie deems it a small matter to denounce UH cow ards and hypocrites Homo twenty odd thousand of tho very best peo plo in South Carolin.*!/-people who honestly beliovo that prohibition is right, and who aro ready to stand ap and light for their convictions. Yet, because they dare to disagree with Sonator Tillman, they aro, without provocation, denounced as cowards and hypocrites. Truly, wo havo readied a beautiful state of affaira when peoplo who daro to livo up to their convictions aro to denounced in such language by ono who occupies tho high and dignfiod position of United Slates Senator. Whoro do tho ministers of tho Gospol Btand? Almost to a man thoy havo dcolarcd in favor of pro hibition, and because they did so they aro cowards and hypocrites. What about the great Baptist, Mothodist and Presbyterian churches, all of which havo spoken out in fa vor of prohibition? They are oln?sod b}? Sonator Tillman ns cow ard? and hypocrite. It needs no argumont to show that tho statement made by Senator Till man was reoklessly made, and is wholly untrue Tho object in writ ing this is not to show tho falsity of tho chargo, for that is solf ovidont, but to show tho condition of affairs that provails to somo cu tout in this Stato, a condition of affairs which permits tho UBO of such reokleBs and falso charge?. Tho Pro hibitionists havo novor mado nny fight on Sonator Tillman, but thoy may show him that ho is a bad judge of what it takos to constitute cow ards and hypooritcB. Tho writor also desiroB to call at tention to certain othor languago of Senator Tillman. Ho asserted that tho dispouBary was not intended to be a moral institution, but a pince whoro peoplo who wanted to drink could get all they wanted of good quality, and tho Stato receive tho profits. So wo have tho father of tho groat moral institution robbing it of its chief feature. At tho time the law was passed, tho Prohibition ists woro thought to bo, and doubt less wero, in tho majority in tho Gonoivrl Assombly. Tho advoontes of tho dispensary urged it as a com H ??AKIM? URE ic?ous and wholesome [ promise moasuro, and it was votod for and roally passed by tho prohibi tionists, for thoy cortainly hold the balance of power, bocuuso abmo of thora honestly believed that it wnB a step in tho dircotion of prohibition. It may bo remarked hore, by way of parenthesis, that who writer no vor shared in suoh boliof. It was do olarcd by its advooatos to bo a groat moral institution, intended to cur tail tho salo of whisky and gradually load to prohibition, and a great many of tho best prohibtionists in tho State wcro lcd to advocato the law for that reason, and that alone. Even in tho last campaign, it was urged from tho stump that tho law ought to ho re tained hecauso of its moral foatures, and now comes the tho great father of tho institution, and, in ono broath, knocks all tho morality out of it, and declares that it was never so intended ; that ho fooled tho Prohibi tionists from tho start, and led from tho path of rectitude the cowards and hypocrites, and so it was not passed because of its ?noral features ; it was not intended curtail the sale of whis key, but it was intended to give tho people all they want of a good qual ity of whiskey. True, this is not much information to a groat many people, but the writer is glad to have it from so high an authority as Senator Tillman. Ho is glad to have tho system unmasked, and let it stand out before tho puoplo for what it really is : A sohorao to' give tho people all they want to drink and make money for .tho State. Shorn of its so-called morality, and declared by its reputed fathers to bo Bitnply a whiskey selling scheme for tho sake of revenue only, suoh is tho dispensary. Let the peoplo who have been supporting it for moral ity's sake take due notice and form themselves accordingly. By tho way, it might bo profitable to know some of tho cowards and hypocrites who were members of tho General Assembly in 185)2. It is useless to call names, but the writer knows some of thom personally, and a good many of them by reputation, good men and true, who will not ap preciate being called cowards and hypocrites, and whoso shoos Sonator Tillman is not worthy to unlatch.
