A ar ron Burr When Pinckney and Alston Were Governor ol South Carolina. I was very muoh interested last. Suuday morning in that elegantly written historical account of Gover nor Alston, published in the Herald, written by Miss Havilene Tompkins. She will pardon tue for calling at tention to a few errors and adding a few points. When Aaron Burr was arrested February 19, 1807 iu Mississippi or Alabama, (I think it was Mississippi) and brought through South Caro lina to Richmond, Va., for trial on the charge of treason, Joseph Alston, his son-in-law, was not Governor of South Carolina. He was at that timo Speaker of tho House of Rep resentatives. Charles Pinckney was Governor then, in 1800 aud 1807. Alston was not elected Governor till 1812 and sorved two years. Burr was put upon his trial March 27, 1807, and it lastod till September 7, five months and eleven days, ending in a verdict of acquittal, tho follow ing being the verdict: "Aaron Burr it not found to be guilty under the indictment by any evidence submit ted to us." II arman Blennerhassct, or Banner basset, was never tried. Thc case against bim was dismissed. You ob serve I ?pell bis name two ways. All the books I have soon his name in, except one, spell it Bannerhasset. Thal ono, Thomas' Reminiscences, bas it spelt Bnuncrbassctt, and I think this is correct. Thomas pub lished a letter from Bannerhasset to bim and in the letter thc name is thus spelt. E. S. Thomas, the author of this book, came from Boston to Charleston in 1795 and became the editor of thc Charleston City Ga zette. In 1S12 when Joseph Alston was elected Governor, Thomas in bia paper charged Alston with hav ing got thc otliue through bribery. Alston prosecuted Thomas for libel. Thomas was represented by Lawyers William Lane, B. F. Hunt and one or two others, whose names 1 can't j now recall. When thc case was called for trial, Thomas, without con sulting his attorneys, rose in court j and addressed the Judge, Elihu Hall Bay, and told him that he, the de fendant, thought that it would not] bc fair to put him, thc defendant, on trial while thc pardoning power was in thc bands of thc prosecutor. Tho judge agreed with him and continued the case until Alston's term of ofliee had expired and David H. Williams was elected Governor. Of course, as the law as to libel stood at that time, everybody knew that Thomas would bc convicted whether Alston was guilty of bribery or not. After Williams was inau gurated as Governor, Thomas' case was called for trial. Before thc trial, however, Thomas wrote to Harman Baunorhasset for information con cerning Alston's part in bis father in-law's treason ami this is the way I found tho spelling of the name I told you about above. Thu trial then proceeded and Tho mas was convicted and sentenced to] linc ami imprisonment, the arnot 11 A Living Monument. If wc were to' assemble all those who have been cured of heart disease by Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, and who would to-day bc in their graves had not Dr. Miles' been successful in perfecting this wonderful heart specific, they would pop ulate a large city. What a remarkable record a breathing, thinking, moving monument, composed of human lives,-that for which every other earthly possession is sac rificed. The Miles Medical Co. re ceive thousands of letters from these people like thc following: "I feel Indebted to tho I>r. Milos' Heart Cure for my Ufo.

Miles Medical Co.. Elkhart, Inc] do not now recall. I write trom memory. Iii? friends had an elegant room furnished for him at the jail with a goodly stock of the finest wiues and liquors aud they were to receive him. As soon as th" senteuce was past, a party of his friends were imme diately dispatched to Governor Wil liams for a pardon. The party fouud the governor superintending his farm on horseback. The Governor very promptly signed the pardon on the pommel of bis saddle and the party hastily returned to Charleston. Thomas was released from jail and a brass band was hired and they pa raded the streets of Charleston in big style. During this oelobrated trial, or rather while the sentence was being passed, Dr. David Ramsay, tho South Carolina historian, was shot aud killed on thu 8th of May, 1815, by a lunatic, as to whose lunacy he had testified. He was shor in the street in front of the Court House. I have just learned that the grave of Dicey Langston has been found. Dicey was a little 15-year-old girl that during the Revolutionary war waded the Tyger River ono night with the water up to her neck and walked several milos to give the American soldiers information of tho approach of tho British. I did not know what became of her aftor the war, until a fow months ago I was talking with General Crittenden about her and he told me that after the war she married Thomas Spring field, of Greenville county, and was buried somewhere in tho upper part of the country. Later I saw Henry Springfield, who told me he was her grandson. I asked him if he knew where her grave was and he told me he did not. I asked him to make some inquiry and find it if ho could. I think some move ought to bo made to erect some kind of a monument over her grave. General Crittenden made this suggestion to me in our talk. The general has -il ways been a gre -.t public spirited man and I hope he will devise some plan to set the move on foot.-Adam C. Welborn, in Greenville Herald. Gambling in Cotton Futuros. Tho sucker who sits down to play a gamo of cards for money with a profes sional gambler has tho satisfaction of seeing tho gambler's money and ho also has tho satisfaction of shuffling and deal ing tho cards himself onco in a while. Tho sucker who gambles on the game called cotton futuros has no such satis faction. Ho duos not soo tho other fel low's ninney and ho duos not soo the cards until they aro doalt him. He does not know whether tho doal was a square one or not; in fact ho is generally pretty sure that it wasn't. [f ho wins, which sometimes happens, ho tolls all of his friends, and this in duces all of his friends to bito. If ho loses, and this is tho caso nine times out of ten, he goes out behind thc barn and kicks himself and says nothing. That is usually the way it works. Good news travels further and faster than bad news. Therefore we boar of the fellows who will oftener than WO bear of the follows who lose. Tho man who wins feels so good ho can't keep from telling it, while the man who loses feels so mean that he is ashamed to tell lt.-? Anderson Mail. "First Gun ol the War." [Tin State.] Several days ago while looking over a paper my attention was at tracted to the oft repeated statement that the first gun of the war was fired at Fort Sumter in April, 1861, and several intelligent gentlemen have asserted the same in privato conversation. If April came before January in 1801, it was the first gun. if .Janu ary came before April, it was not. The first gun of tho war was fired on January Otb, 1801, by the Citadel cadets from a battery on Morris Island, al tho steamer "Star of the West." This battery was after wards called the "Star of the West" battery and the first military duty performed by me was guarding this battery as a member of the Carolina Light infantry of Charleston, Bishop Capera at that time being major of the regiment. Later on we were moved to Sulli van's Island and while there in April, 18G1, the first gun at Fort Sumter (but not tho first of tho war) was fired. Vincent F. Martin. Walhalla, S.
