LAST WEEK IN WAGNER. LOONTINUED FROM PAGE ONKL The parapet cf the salient was gone, and the ditch at that point filled with the drifs. It seemed that the bomb proofs would soon succumb to this destructive fire. A portion of our signal corps had been specially detailed to observe the signals of the enemy. Every dispatch signalled between Gen. Gillmore, ot the Federal army, and Admiral DAhlgren, of te navy, was transmitted by out signal officers to Gen. Beauregard in the city, and such as he desired us t< kuow were then sent to Col. Kiett for his lutormation and guidance. One o these dispatches, which was read by Col Kcitt to a few of us who were in b confidence, detailed the plan of an attac on Battery Gregg which had been agreec upon between Gillmore and D.thlgren The arrangenent was made by whicl Dah1gren was to furnish the boats an Gillmore the men, and Battery Gregg at Cumming's Point, was to be Bum prised. But for this inf >rmatlon it sev in certain that Gregg would have fallen an the Confederates on Morris Island ewr off from alL hope of escap; Thi cxpewd. tIon was to come in boats with mi l oars from the creek which separan James from Morris Island. and wher , keels of the boats F'ruck the beach t, men were to jump out an' char.!e t;. batterv.

The lcel withikmrv 1 the approach of' darkness, as was the1 custom. The lire of thce Parrot run slackened somewhat, but the mortar kept it up; inecessantly.

Te entrance io) thle ecov. ered way he.dinag intom the sjalitentI was entirely ciruc1ed y the sand drifts causced by the enlenla 's shiot anti shcel I.

It waes thce custom t) send the wondced ril to the city at night. Ouccr oleportuin ities pmr mitted us to remove'. very fe w of the dep.dI from the island ducring the laitter days of the siegu. Thie suc l erimce of the tmen was some what allayed by d igginig wells in thce homb-proofs. Tolerable water was thus ob)t aIned, buut not inc suflicienrt quanictie is. The heat was in-* tense arid the air ini tihe bomb-perooefs became very I ol acnd hardly supported life. 'rThe light, of Ine lamps, kept cont stantly buirnirng, coreld( hardly penetrate the gloom. The liCey. A. F. Dickson, our Worthy andl( efficient chaplain, held the usual Sunday's religions services, and the Voices of the men, singing the praises of God, could be heard amid the screaming of solid shot and burst lng of shells. A bout 2 o'clock P. Mi. Col. Harris and Capt. F. I). Lee, of the engineer corps came down from the city to inspect the fort and report its condition to Gee. Beauregard. They were of the opinion that It could not be held much longer. The work was, in their judgment, un-* tenable. Under the directions of Capt. Lee the damnages done by the enemy's. gun had been promptly repaired tilll the last parallel of the besiegers was completed. It was then no longer pos sible, and it was very hard to keep from being entirely buried by the sand drifts occasioned by the bursting shells. The parapet of the sailient was now entirely gone, and Ute ditch in front filled for a apace of flity feet or more. At dark the enemy's sap reached the ditch at a point to the east o)f t nia fill. About 4 o'clock, after C'l Harris and Capt. Lee had made t,heit repQrt, we reoeivedthe order of Gen. Beauregard through the sirnal corps to evasuate the fort. The plan of evacuation ha been talked over and agreed upon b Oul. Keitt and the officers commandin regiments, in anticipation of receivin the order. No one of us can claim ftc himself the honor of its arrangemen The order of Gen. Beauregard did nc lix the details, and our plans were ic changed. In the event of our failur to receive the order to evacuate, as w could not successfully resist an assaull as we resolved to make a sortie, an throw our coanmand upon the enoi in their last parallel. We were resolve to sell our lives as dearly as possible and I have no doutbt that our assault o the enemy would have beei a very hon orable death struggle. In accordance %thi our plan ot' eva CIation the honor to[ covering the re treat fell to ti 25h S. C. V.

[Te joLuey to Cuimming's Po nt was a perilomt trip: shells were falling and bursting atroundl and over us. We kept in the shadow cast bay the fort. The cailim light, of the enemy lighted up out works as brillianty as ont the previomt night. The shadow of Waguter exteinded nearly to Cumming's Point. The sail ors of the Confederate tronclad gun boats were thte oarsmen who ro wed ahi boats upon which we embarked. Wi were carried to steamers in waitini just above Fort Sumter. An oticer o1 tihe navy commanded each of the small boats. Tlhe skill or the oarsmen wat astonishing.' The boats kept abreasi with the lenght of an oar from the gun wale to tie end of the blade separatinj them. The cars thus interlocked neve1 touched or interfered with each other. The bombardment of Wagner by tha enemy was still goining on after wa reached the steamers. It had not ther been discovered that the work had beer) evacuated. The boats returned tot 11uguenin and bis party, but befori they came back we heard firing of smnai arms in the direction of Cumming's Point. Great fears were entertainet that the brave captain and his detach ment had been overtaken. In a tel minutes, however, he and the officer left with him and nearly all of the mel arrived. The boats watch had returned from the steamers to Cumming's loin for Huguenin's party were everhanle by the enemy's picked boats as the came out of the creeks and were mal ing their nightly rounds. We loet c d the garrison lifty-seven men captured y by tha enemy. a few of them naval g ollicers and the rest sailors aid soldiers.

As soon as the news t was communica e I to our ) tterries t that the evacuat:on of Morris Island e had been accomplished they ar:d the e gunboats in the h:trbor opened with all , their guns on that islanl.

THE EXAMINATION OF AP.-LICANTS SOON TO BS HELD. astruclttows to thi Examining Doardi The Nutimberct Vacneates at the Next Season--T..b, 3 Proportioned Among the Counties-Cost to Cadetn. The second session of Clemson Col loge will begin on thursday February 15, 1894. There are about one thousand boys in the State who want to become students in the college, but only 600 of them can get places. In fact. it is not likely that more than from 200 to 300 new applicants can onter, There is room for (00 boys, that number having been present at the last session, but the Board of Trustees estimate that a great many of them will not return. They will leave vacancies for a number which is yet unknown. The Board of Trustees decided at the last meeting that future applicants must undergo examination, As many boys as dt-sire may enter these examina ait ons. S soon as the authorities of the college known the number of vacant cies cxisting in the respective counties they will notify a suflicient number of those who stood the highest to ill the vacancies. The following announce ment to intending applicants has been sont out: "An examination, begining at 10 o'clock iii the morning of January 18th 1895, will h) held at the county seat of your county, under the direction of your County School Commissioner, to determine who of the applicants are entitled to enter the college at the ooen iog of the session of 1895, on the t6ird Thursday of February. ".tudents under fifteen years of age are not to be admitted except were two brothers apply, one being'over fifteen and the other not under fourteen. "For those desiring to enter the Freshman el ass a thorough proficiency in arithmetic, elementary algebra IAglish gramimer, geography an(I his tory of the United states is required. Applicants not prepared to enter the college classes will be admitted to the preparatory department." Tlie following resolutions regarding the admission of students were adopt ed by the Board of Trustees: "Resolved, That the admission of students other than those already in attendance at the college be upon the following conditions: "1. Stutlents must undergo *a medical examination and no person will be ad nitted who is not healthy and free from contagious diseases, including con sumption. "2. Students will be appointed among tWe counties in proportion to represen tatives in the House of Representa tives, under the following regulations: "Boys prepared to enter college classe, proper will have preference over those who can only enter prepar atory classes. "As between bays of equal prepara tion, the oldest will have the prefer cC. "Applicants already entered will be examined at their respective county seats after due notice, and permits to enter to be issued by the examining board. "OWher things being equal, the first a1p licants will receive permits. "Where a county has not sent its (ltiota, the place thus left shall be divid. ed among the other counties by lot. "-3. Boys not availing themselves of the opportunity of entering within ten days of the opening of the session will have their iights in the place given to a'pplibamnts next on the roil." Accompanying the foregoing facts is a ci rcular of information. TIhe text-books recommended to those p)reparing to enter the F"reshman class are Wentworth's Grammar Shcool Arithmetlc, Venable's Easy Algebra, (used i the preparatory course), or llobins:mn's IElementary Algebra. Whit ney-L4ock wood's English G rammar, Ap pleton's IIigher Georgraphy, Eggles ton's 11istory of the United States and its l'eople. There are two courses in the Fresh man class--that in chemistry and agri culture and that in mechanict and en gineering. liesidles the studies in the first course is the following: Practical work in agriculture, eight hours per week; prac tical work in mechanics, two hours per week; free-hand drawing, four hours per week ; military drill, live hours per week. I n the second course, beside the stud ies, is the following. Practical work4 in mechanics, eight hours per week; physical laboratory work, four hours per week; '!rawinig, four hours per weeks; military dIrill and tactics, five hours per week. In addition to the uniform students rmay provide themselves with work clothes as they desire. l ich student will be required to bring with him four sheets, two blank ets, a comfort, six towels, one pillow anal two pillow cases. Trhe expeins"s for one sesson of ten month are as follows: ll.ard...................... 70 00 Waishiir...................... 5 00 Medi"cal Fe.... .............. ..' 00 Two I 'attorms................ 23 75 Iincidenlital F'ee.... ..........5 00 $108 75 TI"uition, $40 a session, is charged to stud(enits whose parents are worth $53e, above all indebtedness. Before (enit'eing the college, astudent must pay for umiforms, $23 75; for one month's boanil and washing, $7.50; for medical fee, 82.50; for incidental fee, $2.50--in al 6s3I.25. No deviation, whatever, from this rule will be made. The amount that must be paid for each month following the first will depend upon the quality.and quantity of labor p)erformed by the student. A gricultural students are paid 8 cents per hour for productive labor-twe hours per day. Mechanical students are required tx work two hours daily, and are paid ac cording to the value of wvork-nevei over 8 cents per hour. li"nce, a student may make by labol about $4 a month, and thus reduce board and washing to $3.50 per month In short, a poor boy may pass one ses sion of ten months at Clemson College f or about $80-allowing $10 for books and stationery, which are sold to the stud(ents at actual cost. No reduction in board will be made for students who come in after the opening, nor for those who are absent during the session for a period of lesi than one month.

The i Casino, where thousands spentdelight 3 ful houri watching gay scenes upon e and about the grand basin, was wholly - destroyed. The Peristyle, once illumi d nated with thousands of incandescent L- lights and Greek fire, furnished Greek 1- fire, and nothing remains. Its arches are burned away and its stately col unins, half burned and charred, lie in a confused mass on the promenade r which surrounds it. Colossal figures 1 which surmounted it., toppled to the ground when their supports burned away and are broken in pieces. Co )fluimbus andl his heralds with their wai y horses and chariot, are an unrecognlizi ble mass of ruins. The Music Hall :e likewise is a melancholy heap 'of ashei save here and there where twisted iron girders protrude. Not a portion of 1t was savcd from the flames. All about n the walks are strewn with debris t charred brands which the wind blew fr om the burning buildirags and little a piles of white ashes where some of the Sbrands were consumed after falling.
