GLENN SPRINGS. ITS PAST AND PUKSKNT?ITS LOCATION, TRADITIONS AND HISTORY. To the Journal of Commerce : Those of your readers who are beginning to cast about for some place ol rest and shelter during the hot months which are approaching, will bo pleased to know that this celebrated watering place is now opcu for tho season. Glenn Springs is situated on a high ridgo, dividiug the Fair Forrest and North Tiger Rivers, ninety miles rather northwest of Columbia, withiu five miles of the Spartanburg aud Columbia Union Railroad, aud twelve miles south of the town of Spartanburg. It is accessible more couypnieutly by hack from Spartanburg C. II., by a pleasant aud picturesque drive of less than two hours. Professor Tourney, in his geographical survey of the State, speaking of this route, says: Between Spartauburg and Glenu Springs the Fair Forrest has scooped out a channel in the Gneiss rock, at the foot of a hill, forming a wild and picturcsquo little view.? Gneiss i? also well exposed at the quiet and pretty spot called Cedar Springs, uow an asylum for the dumb, deaf aud blind, where a bold spring of pure water issues from a fissure in tho rock. Glenn Springs is classed by Profcsscr Walter, in his work on mineral springs, among the Sulphur Springs. Rut the analysis by Dr. C. U. Shepherd, of the Charleston College, shows it to contain besides sulphuretted hydrogen, sulphate of magucsia, carbonate of lime, and sulphate of lime, and is, therefore, both alkaline and saline, aud hence tho very large class of diseases which it benefits and cures. Indeed, there is scarcely au ailment, except well developed tubucular consumption, and that in the last stages, which it docs not benefit. Tradition says that in tho year 1704, over a century ago, when the wild deer, and other denizens of the forest, were plentiful in the District of Spartanburg, old hunters observed trails converging from all points of the compass to a certain marshy cove at the base of a hill, where this celebrated spring is now situated. To this marsh these wild animals were in the habit, in the spring time and summer, of resorting, to drink the water which run from it, aud many an antlered buck has lost his life in caring for bis health. After the time of the deer and the buffalo, the cattle of the early settlers had the same resort, and when lost from distant sections, they were almost always found at what was then called the "powder marsh." The early settlers observingthis fact, scooped out holes in the inaish for the water to fill up, and used them as bathing places for their children and, indeed, all who had any eruptive disease ; and for years and yours it was regarded as a sovereign remedy for complaiuts of tliis character. An old gentleman, of some sixty years or more, now liviug in this vicinity, informed mc that when a child lie was bathed in a little puddle below the spring, for some eruption, ho said the itch, which it effectually eared. At that early age the spring was not found, aud the water was only used for hathiug purposes. Subsequently. however, the spring was discovered, and the people began to imitate the example of their cattle, aud commenced drinking the water, which they found, if possible, more effioaciouo, b?tViing -in it. It is said that Chancellor David Johnson, many years ago, bought the tract of land upon which the spring is located, giviug for it an old horse, and afterwards sold it for a profit of four hundred dollars-a good large ^ profit, but not equal to fifteen thousand dollars. which it subsequently brought. About 183?, after the spring had attained something more than a local notoriety, Mr. John 15. Gh nn, of Union County, while on a visit to his brother-in-law, Mr. Austin Spunds, who then owned the property, hearing of its wonderful cures, bought au interest in it, and moved up for the benefit of the health of his wife. They were childless and had been for year?, but after one season, Mrs. Glenn's health improved most rapidly, and she became the mother of a bouncing boy, who still lives in the neighborhood, a standing monument of the virtue of Glenn Spring water. After this, the fame of the spring extended far and near, and a great uiauy persons resorted to it for their health. Cabins were built all over the plac*, and yet there was not room enough to accommodate the people. Mr. Glenn was unable to build, aud he was induced to sell out to a company of gentlemen, consisting of Dr. Morris Moore, Dr. Winnsmith, Dr. A. 11. Irvine, Dr. Vanlew, Dr. Thornc, Davis Caldwell, Robert Mooreman, Geo. Ash ford, Knight Sims, Win. Peanot, Morgan Houston, Saml. Brown, J. B Glenn, aud some others, whom my informant does not now remember. These gentlemen obtained a charter from the Legislature, and in the year 1838 built the present hotel and eight cottages in the lawn. The main body of the house is sixty feet square, three stories and a half high, with three wings fifty feet each, two stories and u half high. The rooms aro ample and well arranged. There is a fifty feet dining hall room and parlor, besides billiard room, card room, reading rooms and reception room, and there are six rooms in each of the eight cottages. Upon the completion of the hotel, there was a grand opening, and at once it became the fashionable resort of the State. Many resorted to it for pleasure, but many more for their health. Even committees of the Legislature, made it a place of meeting in the interval, and the celebrated acts of the Legislature of 1839 ami 18-10. defining the duties and liabilities of tho district officers, not keounty, when peculation and fraud were unknown, were drafted here, and here many of the chancellors drafted their most importaut decrees. Under the management, however, of this company of distinguished gentlemen, it did not provo a financial success, and in a few years it became the property of Mr. John C. Zimmerman, who managed it successfully and satisfactorily fur some ten years, and j j. ? -? i During this time Dr. M. Liborde, of the South Carolina College, says of it: "One of the best watering places in the Southern country is situated in Spartanburg District ?I mean Glenn Springs. This has been i a place of great resort for the people of the , State, and has acquired a well merited celebrity. Many of the most distinguished gentlemen of South Carolina who have spent i seasons at the Virginia Springs and Saruto I ga, have pronounced it fully equal to these t world renowned places. i gga? : 1 ?li-g.1 Id 1853 Mr. Zimmerman sold it to tho lie vs. Mr Arthur and McColough, for the purpose of opening a female college, but in this t hey did not succeed according to tb.ir anticipations. Besides, the people clamored for it as a resort for health, and it was agaiu opened to the public by Mr. J. C. Janncy, of Columbia, aud others, uutil the .......

These gentlemen are improving and fitting up the house and grounds, and hope to make it, as iu auti-belluui days, a place whero the good people of tho State cau meet to- I gcthcr during the summer months and talk I over their troubles of the past, their dolivercuce from carpet-baggie and corruption, aud their bright aud glorious prospects for tho future, uudcr Hampton, honesty and home rule. So mote it be. Invalid. THE LATE MISSISSIPPI TRAGEDY. There has been rarely heard a more horrible and mournful story of the savageDess and wickedness of lynch law than that of the lute murderous affair at Do Kalb, Kemper County, Mississippi. De Kalb is an unsightly little hamlet in Kemper County, a majority of the inhabitants beiug colored men, and which, after reconstruction, was controlled by a small clique of native white men, their leader being Judge Chisolm, wh: had been a Judge of Probate under the Confederacy, and wheu the civil government was re-established, obtained tho office of Sheriff, in which position he virtually ruled tho county for seven years, until the political revolution of 1875. Ilis Republican local administration was intensely unpopular.? Mr. 10. V. Smalley, one of the New York Tribune's correspondents, says that taxes were enormously high, and that over 100,000 acres of land were sold for taxes, and arc still held by the State, no purchasers having been found. Ofcourse, Judge Chisolm had enemies, and their report was that while he was p-or when lie went iuto office, he left it worth ?50,000. Some years ago there was ill-feeling between Chisolm and one John W. Gully, an active Democrat of the county. No personal eucounter, however, grew out of it. A partisan of the Judge, Uenjamiii Rush, had quarreled with Gully years ago about a business matter, rnd iu 1873 a street fight took place in De Kalb, iu which Samuel Gully, a brother of John W., was killed, and Rush was severely wounded. About the same time, a man uauied Giluicr, another of Cliis i " isiiu a uuiiuruuis, who Kopi n store at Seooba, shot and killed a Democrat named Dawson, who, it is allowed, entered his storo for the avowed purpose of killing Gilmer. The same year llush was shot and severely wounded by some person lurking behind a church in Dc Kalb. As a result of the campaign in 1875, Judge Chisolui aud his friends lost their offices. In 1870 the Judge ran forCougre?s and was defeated. The cauipaisu was a heated one and much violence was developed. In December last an attempt was made to assassinate Johu W. Gully. Suspicion fell upon Hush, who soon after left the State, aud has not been accu in Kemper county since. On the 26th .uit., Johu W. Gully was assassinate*) by some person hiding by the roadside, who robbed him of his boots and mouey. It was believed that Iiush had returned, but as uo trace of him could be found & story was started, which is said to originated with two colored men, that Chisolui and Gilmer were accessories to the crime. On Sunday the 29th of April, Judge Chisolui, Gilmer, one Roscubauui, a friend of Gilmer, and several others, all of whom were Republicans, were arrested on warrants sworn out by various parties, but for what particular offense is not stated.? They were placed in jail, as a mob threatened their lives, The young daughter of Judge Chisolui uobly clung to her father, and, with her brother, a lad of twelve vaars - J , was imprisoned with hiui. She returned home, and secreting ammunition about her person carried it to her father, who somehow had become possessed of a guu. A short time after, Gilmer, in attempting to escape, was shot down and instantly killed. The uiob then began firing through the grating of the jail, inflicting mortal wounds upon Judge Chisolm and his daughter, and killing outright the little sou of the Judge, who was endeavoring to shield his father. Judge Chisolm and his hcroicul daughter have since died, the latter of gangrene of the arm. Giluier is spoken of as an unprincipled man and something of a desperado. But the Chi.solms were people of refinement aud some culture. The father is said to have served bravely in the Confederate army. There is no proof whatever that he killed Gully, nor would such a man be likely to rob an enemy of his boots and money. Whether he was guilty or not is no exculpation of the murderers of himself aud family. A more atrocious crime is not recorded in the annals of lynch law. The attempt, however, to mako it out entirely a political quarrel, or, what is more ridiculous still, to pretend that is was a result of disaffection to the Union, could only be suggested by the ultra partisanship which seeks to make capital for its own purposes out of every act" of disorder and violence which occurs in the Southern States, without regard to the larger number which occur In other sections. The leading organs of Southern sentiment have emphatically condemned the De Kalb butchery, the New Orleans Picayune, the Democrat, and other journals looking upon it as casting a shadow over Southern society.

Mayor Kanccn got hold of his head, Long Brown sat on his flank and Jack Magee got hold of his fore foot. A number of othei prominent citizens got rouud the edge of the mule and took hold. 'Now, boys, we'll lift him up; heave to, and they made a mighty effort to put bin on his pins. The mule rose like an iusur rcction of the Louisiana blacks and wheu hi let his hiud leg out it put Long Brown sla] np against the back steps of the Interna tional Hotel. Tlicu ittried to turn {i hand spring and the sole of his fore hoof found i hiding place in the diafihnrgm of Magce and his gulp of dissatisfaction made the boy along the street laugh with delight.
