t. It HISTORIC CH IC KA MA UGA. First Anny Corps Moves from tho Kapil. 1!.minnel, to Clitcktiinnuga. A* Chickamauga baa long been a very historic, place, both for tho uututored red man aa well aa the civilized white man, I will say something in conneotion with the battle fought in this beautiful valley of the Chickamauga, on Sunday, September 20, 1863. About the lat of September of that year, General Lee or dered the 1st Army Corps, commanded by General Longstreet, who was at that time camping on the banks of the Rappahannock, to movo with all possible haste to Chickamauga to reinforce Gen eral Bragg, who was being hard pressed by the Federal army. The 1st Army Corps ooiaisted of about 5,000 men, true and tried on many a hard-fought field. It waa not until about the 10th of September that the flrat train came to Orango court houae to atart with its first load of troopB. General Hood's division was first shipped. There were only two routes between Richmond and Augusta, Ga.-ono by tho way of Wilmington and the other via Charlotto, N. C.-and only a singlo track from Augusta to Chicka mauga. You Bee that the cirouit was obliged to be made through the Caroliuas, to Augusta, Ga., and up by the railroad through Atlanta to Halton and Iiiuggold. This was the only route or transit loft us. Thoreforo, our artillory and about two brigades of infantry did not arrivo at Chickamauga until the 25th of Septem ber, live days aftor tho battlo. Hood's division and throo other brigades landed iu timo to tako part in tho battle of Sat urday tho 10th. This battlo was a pro tracted ono. (It was fought ou tho 10th and 20th of Soptombor, 180:5.) Two brigades of McLaw's division Kershaw's South Carolina and Hum phrey's Mississippi-carno iu on the 10th and marched about dark across tho Chickamauga creok, and bivouaced the remainder of the night ou its bloody banks. But the truth of history, as well as simple justice, requiros it to be stated boro that no one officer or body of men of tho same number could have con tributed more to the triumph of the Confederates than di? General Long street and the brave men who followed him from Virginia. They had travelled in crowdod box cars, upon platforms and upon tho tops of the cars, in rain, in dust and Bun and with but little food or sloop. They had passed their homes without stopping to embraoe loved ones there which some of them had not aoeu since tho commencement of tho war-and they had rushed to the scene of action without rest, halting only long enough to clear their oyes of tho dust of travel and re plenish their cartridge boxes. The most of tho officers were without horses, and the men with no wagons to transport what,.Lae they had. Thoro was no timo to furnish either. The battle was about to bo joined. Arriving iu front of the foe these veterans were placed in the van and led in every attack by the loft wing, whoro the day was really won. Their praises were freely proclaimed by the Army of Tennessee. In my next I will give a description of this great battle, as I saw it, on Sunday, the 20th of September, and the location of the battlefield of tho beautiful Chicka mauga. J. Russell Wright.

Tl IK DISTRICT CONFERENCE. Tin? Meeting Held in Pelzer Pest in History of Anderson District. (Christian Advocate, July 18.) The Anderson Distriot Conference was called to order by the Presiding Elder Rev. J. 8. Beasley, on Thursday morn ing, July 11th, at Pfizer, and olosed its sessions on Saturday morning at 12 o'clook. It waa unanimously conceded by the delegates present to be the best distriot conference ever attended. The organization was oom ploted by the election of Rev. Geo. T. Harmon, Jr., as secretary, and the appointment of the committees. The reports frc m the oharges were taken up and gave evidence of encourage ment and progress. All of the preach ers seem to be in close communion and fellowship with their Lord and Master, and all of them give evidence of a deep realisation of the great work whioh is upon them. We are confident that there is not a single drone in the busy bee hive of the Anderson district. All aro given over to full purpose of heart and of mind, and conscientious work is boing dene. The laymen took doep interest in and reinforced tho reports of their pas tors. Tins ia great encouragement, for in every instance tho preaoher was kindly spoken of and he was mado to fool he had the baoking of his pooplo in the great work of the church. Ono layman was hoard to remark that this district conference had proven a rich blessing to his soul. From tho report s wo glean tho follow ing encouraging items: That thoro is, with ono or two exceptions, a deep spirit uality prevailing among our people; that the Sunday schools and prayor mootiugs are well attondod, and the ordinances of the church loyally observed; that the finances are steadily improving, they bo ing now in advance of anything to date in previous years; that many members have been added to the ohurch by pro fession of faith ; that the spirit of broth erly love among preachers, Presiding Elder, and people could not be better than is to be found in tho Anderson dis trict. It was freely remarked among the preachers that they had never heard aught but good from the lips of our Pre siding Elder concerning any man. And this same spirit seems to he characteris ing the lives of every preacher in tho dis triot. Surely the Lord of love and of sympathy is among us, for His mark is written .on our lips. Space will not permit remarks upon the speeches of the visiting brethren. One exception will be observed, however, with referonoe to tho address of Rev. H. B. Browne, who came to us in the inter est of the cause of missions. To say that Brother Browne thrilled us with his in formation and appeals would be to say very little. His soul-stirring address was a deep inspiration. One layman who was slightly prejudiced at the be ginning of his speech was hoard to re mark with tears in his eyes at the close, that if he had any education he would sell out his farm and pull out for China at his own expense. This testimonial outweighs any further remarks that might be made. An interesting discussion was entered into with regard to the wisdom of speak ing to young men concerning the call to preach the Gospel, and prayer was made that the Lord of the harvest would send laborers into His vineyard. The license of Rev. J M. Bryant was renewed, and Brother Gilbert H. Smith was granted license to preach. The preaohing of tba conference waa done by Ito vs. J. C. ugue, H. W. Bar ber, O. M. Abney, J. S. Beasley, G. T. Harmon, G. T. Harmon, Jr., J. M. Fridy and W. E. Wiggins. All of thoso aor vices were helpful and inspiring of devo tion, service and thought. Dr. Jas. n. Carlisle and Bishop W. W. Duncan oach sent a tologram of loving remembrance. The people of Pelzer opened their homes and hearts to us, and treated us as royal guests. And royal guests we wore, because wo wero tho representa tives of tho business of the groat King, who is Iiord of all. We trust that each one left his host with that impression, and that our stay in Pelzer will provo a rich blessing to the ontire community. And now tho second session of our dis trict conference is written upon the pages of history, and each ono has gone back to his Hold of labor with a larger concep tion of obligation and usofulneos, and an enforced purpoBo to lay out his best ener gies for his Lord. May tho blessing of God Almighty, the Father, tho Son and tho Holy Spirit, abide with thora forever. Goo. 1. Harmon, Jr., Secretary.

Monday waa Saint Swithin's Day and the day?: was geuorally olear until near nightfall/ the dreaded rain drops slowly bogan to fall, and while there was not enough to do any damage they forotell that during the next thirty-nine days not one single day will pass that the rain will not fall-it may be in a passing shower, or it may be in a miniature representa tion of the flood. Aooording to ancient ohronioles Saint Swinthin, the bishop of Winoheeter, died in the year 862 and on bis death bed he requested that his body should He * here the "passers-by might trod on his grave and where the rain from the eaves might fall upon it." When a century later his body was to be exhumed for the purpose of being deposited in the Cathedral, on tho day appointed for the translation (15th of July) {trained and for many days af tor so as to dolay the ceremony. Hence was the idea originated that if it rained on Saint Swithin's day it will bo wet for forty days after. Thin same period is associated, by many, with the time that was known as "dog days" by the anoionts. This name was applied by tho ancients to a period of about forty days, tho hottest season of the year at the time of the heliacal rising of Sirius or the dog star; that is, the timo whon it roso just before the sun. It is easily seen how the two periods gradual ually wero considered the same, as forty days aftor tho 15th of July, tho hottest weather is experienced, and frequently tho timo when the heaviest and most regular rainfall of tho year is recorded. Last year tho peoplo of this section were treated to an almost continual down pour during the lotter part of July and throughout tho entire month of August, simply beoauso it had rained on Saint Swithin's Day. The watchers yesterday eagerly viowed tho sky from time to time, hoping against hopo that the Bun would be able to maintain hi? good start of tho early morning hours. Their hopes were often dimmed by the scurrying clouds that from time to timo obscured the sun, but "hope springB eternal in the human breast," and as the rays would burst forth again with re newed vigor they would take hoart. | Alas for their oherished hopes, for when the sun weakened at the ond of the day tho olouds marshalled their forces and darkened his dying momonts. Just before the last rays of the sun van ished behind the horizon a few drops fell and about nightfall a decided shower came down. It was not a real heavy pre cipitation, but in a delicate deoision of this kind it was sufficient to settle the future of the weather for the ooming forty days. So at least is the opinion of tho pessimistic and the superstitious. News and Courier, J uly 16. Pinoules for the kidneys and bladder.

The New York Mail graciously admita that the State of South Carolina has the 1 right to set up a statue of John C. Cal houn in Statuary Hall, at Washington. Just so, and we might add that it is really no one's business but South Caro ina's. And we might go still further and say that no State will be more cred itably represented than South Carolina will by having Cathoun in the hall. Of the great triumvirate-Calhoun, Clay and Webster-more than one Northern writer of sound judgment has| placed Cathoun at the head in all that tends to | make a great man and a great statesman. Referring to the proposed action, The Mail says: "Calhoun's effigy will stand in Statu ary Hall very muoh as Cleopatra's j Needle stands in Central Park. The | obelisk, there, is a token and memorial of the fact that power and glory have departed from Egypt. The statue of Calhoun, at the Capitol, will bo the oost liest, perhaps tho flnost, of his monu ments and it will grace the scat and scene of the Federal powor whioh the South Carolina statesman so profoundly suspected." The inforenco is not exactly just or fair. Carried to its obvious conclusion it would mean that tho theory of govern ment for which Calhoun stood had de parted from tho Amoricau people, just as the glory had departed from Egypt, but this is not truo, although we admit) that tho tendency of the present adminis tration is towards making it true, if pos sible. Calhoun was neithor a secession ist or a disuniouist. He loved tho Union as dovoutly as did either of Iiis groat I colloaguos, but the Union he loved was tho Union as tho founders of tho ropub - lio understood it, and not a Union which would make tho Federal government supremo. It is easy and propor to admit that his plan of guarding the rights of the State by nullifying the acts of Congress was wholly untenable, and we suppose no sound statesman would now stand for that doctrine, or advocate resorting to it, for it was-or would have been, if car ried out-more destructive of tho Union of the States than secession.fjlf ono State could nullify or sot aside an aot of Congress for any given reason any other State could nullify another law for any other reason, and the result must have been anarohy or chaos. His theory of a dual government was no sounder or safer. In short, seme of the doctrines so ably and strenuously held by the great South Carolinian cannot be de fended or palliated and no one now up holds them. But we should bear in mind that these theories for whioh Calhoun labored with the powers of his great mind were based on his intenso dovotion to the South and to the rights of tho States whioh he be lieved to be endangered. Some of the acts of Congress and the administration would, in his judgment, lead to danger ous and unrepublioan centralisation of power and ultimately change our form of government. Earnest, honest and fearless in adv ocas y of what he believed to be right, as we know him to have been, we may yet admit that the success ful secession would have dono. For all that, all his aberrations, if wo may so term them, were founded on devotion to the reserved rights of the States, and we do not admit that this doctrine is dead as the glory of Egypt. And, by the way, we wonder what Calhoun would think and say of Federal encroachment s and centralization now? He would be ready to admit that what happened in his own time and gave him so much con cern was really insignificant when com pared to later happenings and ten dencies. By all means South Carolina should honor Johu C. Calhoun.-Montgomery Advertiser. Tho Farmer's Wife Is very carobil about hor churn.
