was crery appearance qt. ??io j as the
day advanced, Im Wc tief, the clouds be?
gee to disappear, aaa bid Sol came eut
in sil his brightness, chining gladness
into thc hearts of old and young. ' At
an early hour in tho morning the little|
boys and girls dressed very neatly and
tust i I), with their little face? illumina?
ted with joy in anticipation of the plea*
sures ol' the day, could be seen prome-1
nading the streets ; aud they, continued
to gather in w?goua, carriages and hu?
gies, "from near end from it.*V' until
about 10 o'clock. Tho children, teach
ors and superintendents gathered at the
Presbyterian Churoh. At I OJ o'clock,
the Chairman of the Committee of Ar*
rendements, Captain R .A. .Chandler,
gave notice that the procession would
cow be formed. The children were
brought out and placed io positron, the
girls io one oolumn double file? smallest
io front, the boys the sume way ; the
two columns parallel **.<?"h each other.
Slr. A. A. Gilbhrt, having arrived in
town was now sent foe. Mr. Gilbert,
Kev. Jus. McDowell,Rev;8. J. Hill, Rev.
D. W. Cuttino abd Rev J. B. Campbell
were placed in .position between the
col mu ns near the head. The flag bear*
er iu the centre. Everything being
now in readiness, the columns were or
dcred'to move. The ages of the small?
est boys and girls that headed the col
muns, rauged, wo would suppose, from 7
to 10 years,and the decency aud order
With which even these dear little chil?
dren conducted.theuiBclvee, and the ac?
curacy with which they marched in line,
was certainly astonishing lo us As the
bead ot thc procession turned into tho
street leading up to the Methodist
Church, wb*r? the first speeches were.to
bc delivered, Over two hundred children
anda whole mass meeting of grown
folks, who accompanied the Children in
their march, struck up that beautiful
soug,-'*Marching along." ? We do not
think that there contd have been one
person who witnessed this grand und
imposing soene but must havo nuw felt,
if never beforo, the great value and im
pot tance ol the Sunday School, and WC
hope and trust that it will bethe menus
of arousing the parents and friends of
the rising generation to greatly increas?
ed zeal und energy in this most impor?
tant work now so much neglected
Arriving nt the Church, the procession
halted aud thu speakers marched in and
took their seuts. It was previously
thought that two thirds of the middle
pews would be sufficient for the children,
hut as they marched in and took their
seats, it Wus soon ascertained that nut
only tho middle pews would be required,
but nearly one row of the sido pews
woulJ be occupied by them, as they con?
tinued to come. Every available seat
on. tho lower floor was occupied and a
large number sought the gallery
The exercises opened by singing thc
Sunday School anniversary hymn, after
which Rev. Jas. McDowell read the 23rd
Psalm, und offered a eloquent and most
feeling prayer iu behalf ot all the dear
children aud the Sunday School' cause
generally. At the close of the prayer,
that beautiful song, "Heaven is my
Home," was sung by the children. Rev.
S J. Hill now introduced A. A. Gilbert,
Esq., of Sumter. All eyes turned on
Mr Gilbert, the smallest children gave
him their attention. Ho spoke about
three quarters of ;jn hour and during
the whole time not a whisper was heard
from even the smallest suve to answer
some questions which he propounded
His remarks were so plain that the
youngest minds could easily com; rehend.
and yet sn-forcible that the oldest heads
could not help bat feel their weight uud
importasse. These' trrfUis, , stamped,
upon these young hearts, will never be
erased. The children of .Manning and
vicinity will often meet und talk about
''the little house that Sammie Black?
well lives in." Mr. Gilbert will be long
remembered by these children. He con?
cluded his remarks by a feeling and
touching appeal to parents aud friends
in behalf of this noble cause.
Tho next hymn was that universal
favorite,v"The beautiful River," after
which Rev. 8. J. Hill introduced Rev.
D. W. Cuttino. Ho occupied about one
hour. As many good things, solid
truths for yoong folks and old folks, as
could have been well crowded into that
?paco of time, were put in by Mr. Cut
tino on this oocasion. The undivided
attention givoo him hy the children
proved that thoy understood and . ap?

also concluded his remarks with an

There were mingled in this assembly,

Governor of Virzin jg; and whose first
wife was also .a Lee. Robert Ii Lee was
of the issue of a second marriage-the

Anne, daughter o? Charles Carter, of
Shirley. As, however, he borrows no
greatness t?otm his ancestry, but waa
himself thc 'greatest ora great line,* we
shall say no more as to hin family.
"Robert E. Lee entered West Point
Academy io 1825, arid graduated M the
end of the usual term without' having
hed a demerit mark. 1829 he was
appointed brevet second lieutenant, and
assigned to the corps o? topographical
engineers He served for several years
io this corps. 1882 he was married to
Miss Custis, tho daughter of George
Washington Parke <<ut>t?B, the adopted
son of General W?9hI? 1830
he was made first lieutenant, and tn 1838
captain. During tho Mexican wnr he
was on the etaff first of General Wool, and
theo General ?Scott as chief engineer.
At the battle of Cerro Gordo, April 18,
1847, he woe brevetted major for gal?
lantry. At Chaptiltepco he was wounded,
September 13, 1847, and wos brovettcd
lieutenant-colonel. General Scott fre?
quently spoke of him in his despatches
us remarkable for his gallantry. Colo?
nel Lee was next appointed a member of
the Boord of Engineers. In 1852 he
became superintendent of West Point
Academy. In 1855 he was assigned to
servico io a cavalry regiment, which took
him to the West. Io I860 he was sent
to Harper's Ferry to put down the John
Brown raid. March 10, 1801, he was
made colonel of cavalry in the United
States army. His resignation of his
office in that army was dated April 20,
i86i ;
' "Early in 1801, the convention of
Virginia selected Geo. Loe us Command

her fortuoes oot having at the timebeen
formally united with those of her South

Garnett by McClellan, arid his tubae
quent death, General Loe was sent to
North west Virginia, where he did not
distinguish himself He was recalled by
Mr Davis, aud, on account of his
great skill as an engineer, he was sent
to examine tho defences on the Atlantic
coast. In May, 1802, M'Clellat, marched
np the peninsula. Tho battle of Severn
Piues tonk place, in which Goneral Jos.
E. Johnson was wounded, aud General
Lee was put in his stead in command of
the Confederate forces. Soon followed
the great battles before Richmond, from
Meohauicsville to Malvern Hill, in which
Gen. Lee's name became rfamous the
world over. Io these battles, more than
10,000 prisoners were taken, fifty-two
pieces of artillery, and upwards of 85,
U00 stand of small artus. From this time
forth, the hopes of the people of the
South were centered in General Lee.
The whole army was placed in his hands.
He it was that ordered hil its movements
and was entitled to tho credit for the
strategy employed _ He ordered the
movements which resulted in the fa?
mous battles of the following August
-Cedar Mountain, Second Mariasses,
&c. On the 3d ot September, his army
crossed the Potomac, nod on the 17th
wus fought the grand battle ot Sharps*
burg. General Lee alway i claimed this
as a victory. His army, however, re
turned lo Virginia al once.
"On the 18th of December, 1862.
occurred the battle of Fredericksburg,
one of tho most complete successes of
the war. In 1803, May.2, the b?telo ol
the Wilderness was (ought. Thc success
here, too, was complete, but Jackson
fell. Here, too, General Lee showed
thc greatness of his heart in that cele?
brated letter to the dying chieftain, in
which he said that for his country's sake
he could wish it had been himself io?
stead of Jackson that had boen wounded
On tho 4th of >;ay that battle waa re?
newed, and resulted io the defeat of the
Federal artur-' and its retreat, with a loss
of 17,000 killed, wounded and prisoners,
fourteen pieoes of artillery,.and .'?0,000
stand of arms. This was called the bat?
tle of Chancellorsville.
"General Lee again marched North?
wards. He weat into Pennsylvania
with his little army, and there, on the
2d and 3d of July, 1803, fought the
bloody battles which," though rather
drawn battles than victories for either
sido, much more soriously damaged
that army whose losses could not be re?
paired.
"In May, 1864, occurred the battle of
the Wilderness, Spot (sylvania Court

The parent that stoys at home and
takes cure of children is doing a work
as boundless as God's heart. As when
the time for seed sowing is past, if thc
seed is not sown, no industry or regret
cnn avail ; so when a child has gone
forth from under the paternal oaro, if
the work is nut dono, you cannot fol?
low it or change it. Some alleviation
there may be, and some aft ci*-refuge ;
but there can be no complete remedy.
There is no way of compens?ting thc
neglect, to sow the seed at the proper
time. The seed-sowing time is when
your children are at home, in your
(ami ly ; and if you are going to do any?
thing for thcui, you must do it theo.
Theo take heed. The lime is flung.
What you do for your children do
quickly, or it will be too lute. You.
may be taken from them. If they ate
taken from you, thank God. Nappy
is that family (hut has cherubs in hea?
ven. Blessed are they whoso cure und
responsibility aro ended, because Christ
hath taken their darlings. Helter
teachers than you are, aro angels; a
better parent than you aro, is (jud ; and
blessed nie those of your children that
have gone to be with him. Hut what
is done for those that yet remain with
you, must ba done speedily. Your days
are ages in their effect, and yet they are
fugitivo as thc arrow that flies through
the air.
It lins been said of John Williams'
mather, "Little did she imagine, when
her children where clustering around
her knees aud listening to thc words
that fell from Her lips, that sho was
training up one of the most influential
missionaries of the cross, and that dis
tant tribos and future generations would
risc up and call her blessed." A very
similar testimony may be borno to
thousands of other godly paronts.
Sometimes mothers think it is hard
to be shut up at home with tho carn of
little ohildren. But she that takes care
of little children takes care of great
eternities. Sho that takes care of a
littlo child takes care of an empire that
knows no bounds and no dimensions.

Henry Ward Beecher ia tho author
of the sentence which has become so
popular. At the time of the Cleveland
Convention, io 1864, wheo John Codi
mo was hy certain disaffected Uepubli
oana nominated for the Presidency,
Henry Ward Beecher, (he author ol the
pin ase, "It'd muri, d - d hot," was ut the
Spaulding House, Binghauiplon, New

truin to bear him weat, ho became ac?
quainted with a few gentlemen, among'
them a conductor of the filie railroad,
named C. O. Graves, who was a etrong
Republican, a grout admirer of Beecher,
and a momberoi the same ehuroh.
To whilo awuy the time before the
train winch was to bear him westward
should arrive it wan deemed best to
seek a little quiet amusement in a pri?
vate parlor, t>y indulging in the popu
Ior paine of "seven up" or ''old sledge.'"
To this gu me Mr. J lee cb cr mode no
objections, stilting that he played all
such games us checkers, back' gammon,
che?::, euchre, wSi???, eic, etc., at home
with his family, and thut he considered
it no harm to seek such amusement
winn traveling, or even to carry with
bini a puck of curds or a box ot ohess

Graves nod Beecher were partners,
the party playing for the lemonade.
Ona four handed game Graves and
Beecher were struck, and "sawed" to
sec who should pay for the lemonade.
They played u single game to decide thc
mutter At last it stood, Beecher six
and Graves five, with his deal By ac
oident or de.-ign Gruvos turned the jack

then a question of who had tho highest

hand, found nothing in there of note,
and lie laid down tho deuce on the ta?
ble with the remark :
"I give you your Juok ; that puts us
six apiece. Hero is the deuce; how's

Warrants have been issued by Trial
Justice Eaton for tho arrest " of lt J.
Donaldson, (Radical candidate for Sena?
tor;) J. II. Donnison, Chairman of
Commissioners of Elections; Alfred
Pout ; John MeCulIn, and tho Manager*
of Election at thc precinct* of Old Store
and Oro, (ten in ail) for complicity in
st niling thc boxes ut those places during
tho Into election. Wo learn it is'
tho intention of tl-.o prosecutor*
to instituto proceedings both in the
State and United States' Courts.
If those or any other parties cart be con?
victed, wc hope they will bc punished
by the severest penalty known to thc
law, for without the purity of the ballot
box the country will rapidly drift to
anarchy and revolution. From every
section of the State accounts ore re?
ceived of open violence at the polls, or
tampering with tho ballot boxes after
they were closed.- Chcnterfiehl Democrat,
Kov. 4.
