LAST WEEK IN WAGNER. LOONTINUED FROM PAGE ONIL] The parapet (f the salient was gona, and the ditch at that point filled with the drift. It seemed that the bomb proofs would soon succumb to this destructive fire. A portion of our signal corps ha been specially detailed to observe the signals of the enemy. Every dispatch signalled between Gen. GIllmore, ot the Federal army, and Admiral DAthlgren, of t0.e navy, was transmitted by our signal officers to Gen. Beauregard in the city, and such as he desired us to kuow were then sent to Col. Kiett for his information and guidance. One of these dispatches, which was read by Col. Keitt to a few of us who were in his confidence, detailed the plan of an attack on Battery Gregg which had ben agreed upon between Gillmore and D.hlgren. The arrangement was made by which Dah1gren was to furnish the boats and Gillmore the men, and Battery Gregg, at Cumming's Point, was to be skr prised. But for this in f >rmation it seen - certain that Gregg would have fallen and the Confederates on Morris Island cit off from alt hope of escapr; The expoi tion was to comu in boats with mi i A oars from the creek which snpar.iiil James from Morris Island, and when keels of the boats struck the beaul it men were to jump out and] char-e te battery. Capt. Martin 1.

DJuring the nis:ht it was reporte.l that the enemy were adv1 ancing to char-ge our works, it was a relict to meni an~d of flcers to believe that the laet stugle was about to be made, and that the aw fui cannonade was atbout to bec exchanuiged for musketry and a hiand to inl lighit with the bayonets.

'The suffe'nrin of' tihe t iene was some what allayed ty dligginig t< wells in thie bombh-proofs. Tolerable ti water was thus oblainied, hut not in a suflicleent quhanltit ies. TPhe hecat was in si tense and the air in thte biomb-proofs 11 became very foul arid hardly stupported w~ life. The light of trie lamps, kept con- ni stantly burning, could tiardly penetrate n the gloom. '1The lRev. A. F". Dicksion, o Our worthy and eflleient chaplain, held L the usual 'Sunrday's religious services, 1 and the voices of the men, singing the w~ praises of God, could be heard tamid ja the screamning of solid shot and b)urs't- tl lng of shells. A bout 2 o'clock P'. M. Col. Harris ar.d a Capt. F. I. Lee, of the engineer corps a came dlown from the city to inspect the v fort and report its condition to Gen. tl Heauregard. They were of the opinion t< that it could not be heldi much longer. The work was, in their judgment, un- e tenable. Under the directions of Capt. r Lee the damages done by the enemy's 1. gun bad been promptly repaired till the last parallel of the besiegers was completed. It was then no longer pose sible, and it was very hard to keep a from being entirely buried by the sandj drifts occasioned by the bursting shells. I The parapet of the saiJiAnt waR nlow entirely gone, and the ditch in front filled for a space of fifty feet or more. At dark the enemy's sap reached the ditch at a point to the east of this fill. About 4 o'clock,after Col. Harris and Capt. Lee had made their report, we1 received'the order of Gen. Beauregard through the sigrnal corps to evacuate the fort. The plan of evacuation had Xen talked over and agreed upon by Dl. Keitt and the offlicers commanding regiments, in anticipation of receiving the order. No one of us can claim for tumself the honor of its arrangement. The order of Gen. Beauregard did not Ox the details, and our plans were niot changed. In the event of our failure to receive the order to evacuate, as we could not successfully resist an assau It, as we resolved to make a sortie, and throw our cxumaud upon the enomy in their last parallel. We were resolved to sell our lives as dearly as possible, and I have no douibt that our assault o1 the enemy would have been a very hon orable death struggle. In accordance w%ith our plan of eva CUation the lionor (it cuvering the re treat fell to the 25h S. C. V. With a part of that regiment 1. was to cover the retrua! of a;l the troops from the frL. except a sinall ,Jetail tindvr Capt.

This, no doubt, creat n it n, impres-ioi on the enemy that is tr-aps were comting in to relieve hI worn out garrism. At dusk CApt. r.ford, with the 28th (eorgia, ived ou* of tho fort.

We were anxious to make the eniemy believe that this ne3w i fe wai occasioned by fresh arrivals. I he firt! 01 the eriemy was kept up irisk ly, and thtir shelis wero talling all arotIIII. As "ool as I had infor mation th T the 2th Georgia had embarked, and that the boats were ready for an other detacliment, I sent off Compan ies It. 1), 1',, C and 11. They, like the C'eorgians, took with them a 12-pound vr ho%witzer. We tried to conceal the fact from our own ien that we were Iva unating the fort, and did all that, we could to cause them to believe that fresh t roops were near to take their phices in the garrison. (Grent circum spvtction an( caution was required. The enemiy were in our ditch and riot more t han hifty feet fromi us. (I have recently had a conversation with Capt. IItiy, of the cruiser Chi-irleston, who told ne thatf he was with the troops in our dtitch.) A panic among our men3[ wIould( have been at once fatal t.o thle whiole mlovOeet. No troops could have bieha:ve I better than the garrison at Fort Wagner. The St. Matthew's IliifIl-s, Company *', (' IlK. 1ar t in It. Sellers, were plosted behindiu the il ink w~all 0on thei ouitsidei of the fort. Whlile the events juist nan rated were t ran spirinug inside of th le I ort , Ii irst Sergt .

Ib s comrades, wvith thleir bay onets, dluig a grave Ill the sanid behind ihe thinik wall andi buried him there. lThe boomin g of' tihe enem y's guns and buirstinrg of sheilk were his funeral sa ltte. T'ruly lie was buried with the hionors of war. A courier arrived from Cunmming's l'oinit with t,he inlormnation that the last detachmtenit sent oIlf had embarked.

I had nowi with me inside the fort Company I; Company I' was still holing its piosition beiniid the outside wvall. ( hur susipeiise was very great.

The journey >Cumnnmig's Point was a perilous ip: shells were falling and bursting round and over us. We kept in the iadiow cast by the fort. The calcium ght of the enemy lighted uip our orks as brillianty as on the previous ighit. The shadlow of Waeguer extended early to Curnming's Point. The sail. rs of the Confederate ironclad gun oats were thes oarsmen who rowed the oats upon which~ we embarked. We 're carried to steamners in waiting ist above Fort Sumter. An officer or le navy commanded each of the small oats. TIhe.8kill or the oarsmen was stonishing. TIhie boats kept abreast rith the lenghlt of' an oar from the gun rale to the end of thie blade separating 1em. The cars thus interlocked never mu'hed or interfered with each othier. Tnc bomnbardment of Wagner by the nemy was still goining on after we eached the steamers. It had not then een discoveied that the work had been vacuiated. Tbe boats returned for tuguenin and his party, but before hey came back we heard firing of small trms in the direction of Cumming'a ?oint. Great fears were entertained hat the brave captain and his detach nent had been overtaken. In a few niniutes, however, he and the officers eft with him and nearly all of the men irrived. The boats whtch bad returnedI Irom the steamers to Cummiing's Point !or Hluguenin's party were everhauled by the enemy's picked boats as they same out of the creeks and were mak ing their nightly rounds.

Tho second session of Clemson Col lege 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 niew applicants can Jnter, There is room for 600 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 numb er which is yet unKnown. The Board of Trustees decided at the last meeting that future applicants must undergo examination, As many boys as dtsire may enter these examina aiions. S soon as the authorities of the college known the number of vacant cies c xisting in the respective counties they will notify a suflicient number of those who stood hie highest to till the vacancies. The following announce ment to intending applicants has been SoInL out: 4.Ain examination, begining at 10 o'clock in the morning of January 18th 1815, will h3 hold 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 open f inig of the session of 1895, on the third , Thursday of February. "-tudents under fifteen years of a&A are not to be admitted except were two r brothers apply, one being' over lifteen , and the other not under fourteen. "For those desiring to enter the e Freshiman el, ss a thorough proficiency k in arithmetic, elementary algebra E a glish grammer, geography an(d his Ll tory of the United States is required. 11 Applicaits not prepared to enter the t- college classes will be admitted to the preparatory department." The following resolutions regarding e the admission of students were adopt a ed by the Board of Trustees: - "Resolved, That the wdmission of -e students other than those already in , attendance at the college be upon the following conditions: , ". Students must undergo -a medical - examination and no person will be ad a mitted who is not healthy and free from n contagious diseases, including con n sumption. '2. Students will be appointed among , te counties in proportion to represen It tatives in the IIouse of Representa j tives, under the following regulations: y "Boys prepared to enter college . classe, proper will have preference e over those who can only enter prepar r atory classes. "As between boys of equal prepara tion, the oldest will have the prefer en11CO. I- "Applicants already entered will be 11 examined at their respective county I- seats after due notice, and permits to i- enter to be issued by the examining board. 1 "Other things being equal, the first 1 applicants will receive permits. e "Wherc a county has not sent its , uota,the place thus left shall be divid. L- ed among the other counties by lot. D, "3. Boys not availing themselves of n ' the op portunit y of entering within ten f-. days of the opening of the session g will have their i ights in the place given r- to applibants next on the roll." pAccompainying the foregoing facts is y a circular of information. y IThe text-books recommended to those it preparing to enter the Freshman class "are Wentwort.h's Grammar Shcool t Arithmetic, Venable's Easy Algebra, e (used ia the preparatory course). or g H obinsmn's Elementary Algebra, Whit ii ney-Lockwood's English Grammar, Ap i- pleton's IIigher Georgraphy, Eggles e ton's hilstory of the linited States and Its l'eople. ml There are two courses in the Fresh n man class-that in chemistry and agri F- culture and that in mechanics and en m- gineering. >f itesides the studies in the first course d is the following: Practical work in agriculture, eight hours per week; prac ticail work in mechanics, two hours per week; free-hand drawing, four hours per week ; military drill, live hours per week. In the second course, beside the stud e, is i the following. I'ractical work in mecAhaniics, eight hours per week; physliical laboratory work, four hours per week; <!rawing, four hours per weeks; military dIrill and tactics, live hiours per week. In addition to the uniform students h nmy provide themselves with work clothesi as they desire. E.Imi student will be required to biniug with him four sheets, two blank. ets, a comfort-, six towels, one pillow anid two pillow cases. Trhe expenms"s for one sesson of ten month are as follows: Ibard.................... 70 00 W ash ng... . .. .... ....... 5 00 Medical l'e................. .5T 00 Tiwo) l'aii'orms................ 23 75 Incmidentali Fee............. 5 00 $108 75 . Tition, 810) a sesion, is charged to studen(iits whose parents are worth 85A.4 above all Indebtedness. .Hefore enct er ings the college, a student must pay f or umiforms, $2375; for one month's boau i anid washing, $7.50; for medical fee, 82. 50; for incidental fee, $2.50--in all $36.23. No deviation, whatever, 'from this rule will be made. The , amount that must be paid for each .month following the fIrst will depend uponl the quality, and quantity of labor performed by the student. Agricultural students are paid 8 cents per hour for productive labor--two hours per day. Mechanical students are required to ,work two hours daily, and are paId ac cording to the value of work--neVer over 8 cents per hour. 3 1ltnce, a student may make by labor i about $4 a month, and thus reduce r board and washing to $3.50 per month. a In short, a poor boy may pass one ses ,, slon of ten months at Clemson College 3 for about $80-allowing $10 for boots 1 and stationery, which are sold to the t students at actual cost. 1 No reduction in board will be made o for students who come in after the opening, nor for those who are absent e during the session for a period of less -than one month.

CmeluA-o, Jan. 9.-Last night's fire in the World's Fair grounds produced greater changes in the appearance of Chicago's famous pleasure park than it was expected would be made by six month's removing of buildings. The Casino, where thousands spentdelight ful hours watching gay scenes upon and about tl,( grand basin, was wholly destroyed .l'he Peristyle, once illumi nated vith thousands of incandescent lights and Greek fire, furnished Greek fire, and nothing remains. Its arches are burned away and its stately col umns, half burned and charred, lie in a confused mass on the promenade which surrounds it. Colossal figures which surmounted it., toppled to the ground when their supports burned away and are broken in pieces. Co lumbus and his heralds with their war horses and chariot, are an unrecogniz a ble mass of ruins. The Music IIall likewise is a melancholy heap 'of ashes save here and there where twisted iron girders protrude. Not a portion of it was savcd from the flames. All about the wvalks are strewn with debris, charred brands which the wind blew from the burning buildir.gs and little piles of white ashes where some of the brands were consumed after falling. The Manufacturers' building, both within and without, presents a sight not desired either by artist or exhibitor. The lattice work between the top and the roof, and curved work covering the central aisles on the east side were burned away from a point above the southern end of the United States sec tion south to one above the lunasian section. Upon the tin and glass arched roof lie half burned boards, which formed part of the lattice and which, when loosened by the fire, slid down ward. Inside the b)uilding appearan ces are worse than on the roof. With in thle region burned, over anid for some distance on either side, the floor is cov ered wvith water. Standing in water, which at som' pla'es is: two inches in depth, are innumerable boxes contain inigp precious wares, baled and bound fo ehipment as soon as they could be released from bond. Upon and about them lay and now destroyed dec oratiot.s of pav illions. The French, IBelgian andi English sections, suffered most and in spaces occupied by them is to be0 seen the most disastrous results. 'rie scene Inside the great Manufac tiurers' building was of absorbing in terest. llere andl there were seen boxes with their tops half burned hbrough, but their conterts safe, except for water that leaked1 into them. UJsed a Pistol. Niew OnItANsq, .Jan. 6.-GUeorge Winchester suicidedl dramatically this morning in froiit of the residence of Capt. TP. P.
