Newry, March 22.-Editors Cou rier: I send you herewith a clipping from the Cincinnati Enquirer, as it is something of tho long ago that stirred tho minds and hearts of many a Southerner during tho days of tho sixties. It will no doubt bo read with interest by your toaders. Respectfully, B. S. Buggs, Sturgia, Ky., March 9.-Thc song for which John Uri Lloyd, the author, offered fifty dollars, is printed herewith probably for the first time. It was composed during the civil war and was circulated by word of mouth among the soldiers of the Confederacy until it became almost a battlo song. Prof. Lloyd, it was understood, wished to use it in one of his books. Dr. Lloyd was standing among others in front of a sountry grocery in Florence, Ky., (StringtownJ, on a morning in 1802, waiting to BOO a body of Morgan's Cavalry como up tho pike, and as these daring cav aliers rode by he heard them gayly singing a song called "The Home spun Dress." Rut his memory after ward could recall but tlie first stanza. Exhaustivo research among literature ad over tho country failed to dis cover it, and as a last resort ho offered a reward. Tho song has never been in print, but the words aro found in full in a manuscript entitled "Kentucky Cav aliers in Dixie," by George Dallas Musgrove, of Carroll ton, Ky. The morning on which Pr f. Lloyd heard thc song was when Morgan and his men were in advance of Bragg's army, which was entering Kentucky from Tennessee to strike Buell, who was racing for Louisville. At tho same time a part of Kirby Smith's army was coming through Cumberland Gap to strike the Fed erals under Gen. "Bull" Nelson at Richmond. After the battle of Rich mond these forces joined Morgan's Cavalry at Lexington, whence they advanced a division to Covington to threaten Cincinnati. It was this divi sion that Dr. Lloyd saw pass "String town." In a few days Bragg also reached Lexington, thence moved to Frankfort and took possession of tho city, where, in thc presence of .'10,000 Confederates, Richard Hawes was installed Governor. But tho "Gov ernor" had hardly taken the oath of office before the advance guard of Buell's rehabilitated army swept in view up the Kentucky River to the bridge, and Bragg and the "Gover nor" retired to Lexington. It was said that Hawes was Governor just ono hour by the town clock. Shortly afterward took pintie tho bloody bat tlo of Perryville on October 8. While Morgan's forces were at Lexington au impromptu bal! was given in honor of the mon, the ladies appearing in dresses of homespun. A young lieutenant, an Alabamian, named Harrison, found inspiration in tho fact to writo the words, and Miss Earle, an accomplished musician present, improvised the air and sang it with piano accompaniment. The song spread rapidly, and was taken up by tho whole army and sung on thc march and in camp throughout thc whole South. Young Harrison fell at Perryville. Following are the words : THE HOMESPUN DRESS. A DIX IK <;il!l.'s SON . Oh, yes, I am a Southern girl, And glory in tho name; I boast of it with groator pride Than glittering wealth or fame; I envy not the. Northern girl Her robes o beauly rare, Though diamonds dook her snowy neck And pearls hesiod hm* hair. Chorus Hurrah! burrah I For the Sunny South, so dear, Three (diners for tho homespun dress The Southern ladies wear! Now, North Ort) goods aro out of date, A nd. si net!

(Continued from drat pago.) By the pffioial testimony of Post master General Bongan, of the oabi net H. M; T. Hunter, secretary of war* was equally and as frequently emphatio in denial and denunciation of the whole story. Jefferson Davis in h a "Rise and Fall of tho Confede rate Government" offors a logical and unanswerable refutation of the yellow tale. TESTIMONY OF UK. AO AN. Of all tho great figures, of that stormy and eventful period John H. Reagan, of Toxas, is, on tho other sido, tho last official survivor-full of years and honors, at the age of 83, tho adtivo chairman of tho Texan. Stato Railroad Commission, .Senator of the United States for many years, and between 1861 aud 1865 the hon ored and trusted Postmaster General of Jcfforson Davis' Oonfedorate Cab inot. When Henry Watterson, five years ago, UBod tho words which J have quoted from him above I wrote to this last official witness for his tes timony in the caso. He addrossed tc mo a long, ablo and very eloquent let ter, which was published iu tho leading papers of tho country. I rogrot thai I havo not tho letter by me to quot from it direotly. With fino and wei justified indignation the last of tin Confederate Cabinet-the last living witness of these official negotiations sternly repels tho unmerited reflec lion upon his colleagues and his per shed government. Ono of his ox pressions I recall. HI TT KU WORDS OP CONDEMNATION. "Genius and mendacity combined, said ho, "can reach no higher expr s sion than in this story." Judgo Ren gan declares bc was present in th cabinet when the report of tho Con federate commissioners was present od, and afterward conversed wit each of the commissioners separate!, as to the incidents of the eonferonoi and that nothing was said by any on of them which could make a reasot able foundation for tho idea of profitable or honorable settlement t tho war by thc Confederate author ties. Against these eminent official wi ceases Mr. Watterson, of Confed< rate memories, brings forward a fe private conversations and sou vague and indefinite hints of "priva1 memorabilia" to provo that sue terms were "really offered" tho Coi federate government os wisdom won have suggested to "aeeept." Tl excellent and honorable gentlemi whom he mentions are not to I compared in weight of testitnot with the official witnesses who we present and have testified from vai ons standpoints as to tho truth history. PERVERSION OF, HISTORY. I confess that it kindles in me son feeling of indignation that so omine a gentleman should persistently u his position and popularity to nerve history. Ho is old enough and wi enough to know that history is ti made by gossip and scraps of convt sation, but by official records. WI Mr. Stephens, for instance, is ported to have Baid in private cc versation with individuals, howe> reputable, can never be made refute Mr. Stephens, now dead, 1 deliberately set down in black a white over his own signature. If Mr. Watterson desires to ill trato tho kindly and catholic soi of Mr. Lincoln in this story, ho v find no one to doubt and no ono cavil in the South, whore I mi bold to say that Mr. Lincoln is much loved and honored as he ii Illinois. But he ought to know ase of words well enough to say t without saying anything beyond and he ought, with his wide ex pi once, to know clearly that with s scant and unofficial and fragment evidence ho cannot exploit outsidi clubs and banquet halls a yarn wi: is so easily and so officially disci tod. PALLS HY ITS OWN WKIOIIT. The story really falls by its c weight of improbability. Mr. i coln could not possibly havo rn or materialized a proposition to tho war upon such terms. His C not and his Congress and bis sect would have overwhelmed him opposition. Mr. Davis and thu C fedoratO government could not li received such a proposition form or inforrhttlly without official j licity. I think tho real trouble in matter isthat Col. Watterson, most men who talk brilliantly, o sionally talks too much. I can un stand that. It does not make n difference when a brilliantly ra tour in tho genial glow of good lowship talks unguardedly and < unfactfully, if he talks in tor es tit to a company of gentlemen who not misunderstand him. But bo i not commit tho folly of rushing print to make history of what swimmingly in unguarded recita I trust that in view of the facts and tho Stately array of ti peachablo witnesses against bin Kentucky editor will clo himself his people tlie justice to recede further indorsement of allega which arc unfounded and dania and which aro prejudicial to his placo in thb esteem of his peoph lu this hope I appeal from . banqueter to tho editor.

They Will Combat with the English Until lhere are No Boors Left. \ 1 * ' -*$ A dispatch from London to The Now. York Herald gi vos an intor viow with D. Erasmus, son of Gen. Erasmus, of Pretoria, on the proba ble oon8equenoes of General Botha's refusal to aceopt the torms of peaoo. He said : "Tho Euglish publio, for some unknown reason, has looked upon tho war all along as moro child's play, notwithstanding tho lossons winch it reooived in tho commence ment, of the war. Four hundred Boers are quito suftioienv to harass tho entire army for an . indefinito period in the distriot north of Pre toria. "Regular onvalry cannot operate there; It is doop sand, which gives tho poorest foothold. Owing to tho fovor, tho British can op ralo but six months iu the year. Tho Boers from childhood have accustomed themselves to this climate and can stop there without much harm. "In foreign countries peoplo who aro trying to make mischief out of tho English rovorsos read in thom a disgrace to tho British army. But I oan asehro those pretended friends of my people that if they had to do what tho British aro now trying to accomplish tboy might have dono very much worso OB , succeeded loss well in fighting." Tho Boors, bo said, can got plenty of food, horses and ammunition. As an alternative for Sir Alfred Milner, as a negotiator with thc Boors, Mr. Erasmus suggests that England should send some impartial Englishman, free from all party feeling. Lord Kitchener's name will not go either. Ho has boen too much associated with Mr. Cecil Rhodes. You remember how their names were connected together when Lord Kitchener was in Lon don ; how they wero coupled and how they took doctors' degrees together. "Tho end," said Erasmus, "will bo that tho Boers remaining must bo either caught and exterminated or given independence. There was a time, after Pretoria was taken, when many Boors deserted or surrendered, in tho belief that they would find thoir houses and families as they left them, if they were allowed to go free, promising not to fight again. Tho end of 'he war was then more than possible. My people were ready to give in "But when the Boers returned to their homestead and found their farms burned and their families gone, they knew not where, they were ruined nen. From that day out, it should be well understood, tho war became one of revenge, and no longer one of patriotism. Pic ture to yourself tho situation. It is perfectly simple to understand the bitterness of the Boers. '.The only terms satisfactory would be re-stocking thc farms and making good that which has been destroyed. Otherwise why should the men not continuo lo fight? They have lost everything, and therefore, have nothing to lose and everything to gain. "Mr. Kruger is still absolutely President of tho Transvaal republic. People say he ran away. That is untrue. He was forced to leave by the Executive, lt took five thous and mon to guard him. Wo needed those men elsewhere. "It is perfect nonsense to say he is worth millions. At most he may be worth a million, which he made from the purchase and stile of lands, just as any other man might. But much money bas been intrusted lo him for Stale purposes. That money bo Spunds in the manner which is indicated to him and tts intended by the Boer Executive, "Mr. Kruger may have lost some weight with a certain number of people of the extreme section. But, nun em ber this-it is important-Mr. Kruger is the ono man who could, if ho liked, bring the war to an end. Ho could finish it at onco if be willed. When, peace comes it will bo made by the people appointed to make it, Mr. Kruger ann tho extra ordinary commission sent over hero by the Boers, Messrs. Wolmerans, Wessels, and Fisher. They have full power to act." "And tho Boto- forces to-day?" "I estimate them to number from ten to twelve thousand," concluded Mr. Krasni us.

In our observations last wook about tho pension burdon wo did nut intend to givo tho exact figuros as,to tbe num bojs under tb o inquiry Of Qoveruor Orr or tho uutnbors now on tito lists of tho several oountios. Wo underestr mated the average to the county under the Orr inquiry and also tho numbors in Some of tho oountios. WeVJpftt Spartan burg do wu as having 500, wbou tho exact J number for 1000 is 025. Tho proportion however was about corroot and sufficient to illustrate tho point we dosignedvto make. * / Govornor Orr madowla iuquiry under a rosolUtion of September 21st, 1800, wbioh directed each of tho tax collectors of tho State to furnish a list of all who "were pormanontly disabled tia tho 8tat0 or Confederate service" . ' - Under this resolution it was found that Spar tan burg had Hf toon who had lost logs, twenty-two wno bad lost arms and twolvo who woro otherwise disabled, making a total of .forty-nino. It has boon thirty-six yoars ncarly since tho surrender at Appomattox and it is not unreasonable to suppose that at least twenty-five of those mon of Spartnnburg havo gone to thoir last rest and aro boyoud tho roach of sympathy or aid. Hut a groat multitude has arisen in Spart anbin g and tho list of pensioners lins grown to extraordinary proportions, list ead of tho forty-nine disabled men n 1800, which was a year of famine and destitution, wo lind ou tho roll of 1000 six hundred and twenty-five names. It don't stand to reason that nil this immense multitude should rightfully be oooiving bounties from tho State. If it | S true that unworthy persona arc OU this long list, it follows that they are consuming money that should go to tho needy and deserving and tho objoct of tho pension law is defeated. Under Governor Orr's inquiry it was found that In Anderson oouuty nine mon hnd lost logs, nine had lost arms and ouo was ot bet wiso disabled, making a total of nineteen. This was in 1800 when our pooplc woro impoverished and crops a failure. Tho Legislature adopted a resolution providing for tho ni rebaso of $300,000 worth of corn to supply tho absoluto ' necessities of tho people. lu such distressing times only nineteen mon in Anderson county were reported ns possibly' needing BUIDO assistance from tho Stato. Cert ainly not moro than ton of tho nineteen aro now surviving, but tito pension list for 1000 uns up to '181 ames und these received $0,020.30 last year. Who believes that th oro aro 181 por BOllB in Anderson county justly entitled to pensions even under tho most elast ic construction of tho law ns it now stands? It is interesting to comparo tho pen sion lists in tho several cou nt ins. Ander son, Colinton, Grconvillo, Pickeus, Spar tnnburg and York lead in numbers. Even tho small county of Piekens has 288 pensioners who rocoivo $3,003.00. Chester, which is a largor county than Pickous, bas only 88 pensioners who receive $1,100.70 or about ono-tbird of what Pickous gots. Charleston has only 107 pensioners ; Beaufort, 31 ; Hamberg, 53 ; George town, 31 nod Dorchester 08; Coming home wo find that there are 32 pensioners whoso post oflico is Abbo ville. That is one moro than beaufort county bas. Thoro aro 22 pensioners whose post oflico is Duo Wost. So thero arc moro pensioners nt these two post offices than thoro aro in beaufort or Hamberg pr Georgetown counties. Now wo do not believe thoro aro 32 persons around Abbeville or 22 around Duo West who ought, io bo on tho pon 8ion rolls on account of disabilities arising from sorvioe in tho war or ex tremo poverty and helplessness. Lot any fair-minded man examino the list wo published recently and bo will seo tho names of s imo who aro able-bodied OilOOgll to make a support for them selves or who have sons and daughters financially ablo to caro for thom. Tho tim : lias como for a change in tho pension law. As long as it is thought that tho money comes from a fund that tho Stato bas lying idle tho grab gamo will bo played. Wo repeat that tho solution is to lot each county tako caro of its own. Hamborg, which bas only 53 pensioners ought not to be forced to contribute to the support of tho 025 on Spartanburg's list nor should Chester bo required to holp pay tho long array from Pickous of mon and women who "stand at tho door and say they will all tako sugar in theirs."-Abbovillo Medium.
