know th<?t old M?j- Woods had gone over to
?Georgia ?'?
"Yes, Kate, I heard a few weeks ago that
ho wan going, and I am really sorry for it too.
liut what is the news to-day V
"You can have the papers, mother ; I catno
in after dinner aud toutul them lying on the
table. I suppose Jehu sentthcui in by Dinah.
I am so tired of rainy weather. I think it
liaa not cca*cd raiirng all day?J have been
sleeping, though, and it may not have rained
tjbicn."
Kate gave her mother the papers, nnd said,
l,Wcll, nintua. I have a. ioTv letters to write
"this aftornooii. Elcouso ino, I will bo with you
Again In a few hours."
Kate Raymond was the only daughter of
Gen. and Mrs. Raymond. She was a lovely
girl of eighteen. Her brother petted and
spoiled his little sister ; and if it were possible,
her father and mother spoiled her dreadfully.
Possessing a warm, loving, heart, Kate took
*ill tho spoiling and petting admirably well.
No one over met her-, and went away, feeling
Mother than love for her.
The years of girlhood had been spent in
fearful, trying seones. Her father commanded
o, division in Lee's army j and for throe years,
Mrs. Raymond and Kate lived in Richmond.
While there, all the horrid paraphernalia of
tyar was daily seen. To watch beside the -sick
ftiid wounded soldier was one of her greatest
pleasures?a pleasure only thus far?she
soothed the dying hours of tho patriot hero,
wrote home his last mowiuges, comforted the
Bick, and cheered tho convalescent by her
bright smile and cheerful face. Only a pleas
ure, because sho was doing her duty as a brave
?Oonfederuto-girl. Tho soul of Kate Raymond
felt no fear; brave and courageous, she would
?do nnd dare anything for her country ; and
soon her spirit to he tested.
Disaster after disaster befell our cause. The
routed army of the Tennessee had heen almost
annihiliated in front of Nashville. Gen. Lee's
army had been drivcu back. Sherman had
entered Savannah, nnd only waited long
?enough to rest, before beginning his march
through the Carolinas. The doatht-hrocs of
the nation shook every heart to its core. Na
ture seemed to weep over the misery soon to
befall her children of the desolated South.
For days an incessant rain had been falling,
adding ten-fold to the gloom felt by every one.
All seemed to look with feverish anxiety to
ward the approach of Sherman. "J'was said
said that the remnant of Hood's army had
turned their faces southward, and were slowly
returning to offer rcoifttauee to the victory
flushcd troops of the enemy. Tho struggle
was a last effort of our dying nation to drive
back our oppressors.
On the morning of February 3d, as Mrs.
Raymond nnd Kate were sitting in gloomy si
lence, the quick gallop was heard of a horse
coming up the avenue. Kate Walked to the
window, aud in a moment uttering a scream of
delight?"Oh, mama, it is Douglass"?Kate
ran to meet the long-absent brother. Mrs.
Raymond's heart beat fart with joy, a song of
gratitude was raised lor the delivery and re
turn of her son. He. was on (.Sen. C's staff,
and fought through the campaigns of the un
fortunate army under Bragg, Johnson and
Hood. It was true, that llvoy had turned
South, and were going to unite with llardeo's
army from the coast of Ueorgia and the Caro
linas, theu to make one effort to crush Sher
man.
Douglas Raymond's command had marched
across the country from Augusta to Rocky
River, about seventeen miles from L-, the
town that Sherman would take in his march,
and the home of Mrs. Raymond. Capt. Ray
mond had obtained a leave of absence for four
days, and promised to return in lhal time.
His visit was ouc of unexpected joy and
pleasure. He did not hope to find his mother
and sister at home. Su many persons had
refugecd, he feared they too had gone to some
place of fancied security. Uta heart beat with
joy, as he kissed his mother aud sister again
and again.
After he had been at home a few hours, aud
all question* had been asked aud answered by
both parties, ho enquirod who had guttc oft",
who wore at home, and who intended to remain
when Sherman came?
Kate gave him satisfactory answers to all
Ids questions, and said,''What do you think of
Mania's resolution in regard to staying here,
Douglass V9
"Well, sister, It has ?WV been my wish to
keep you away from stich a sight,? I mean the
Yankee army; but, since mother desires to
stay at home, aud you have decided to remain
with her, I shall riot raise otto objection.
There is the dinner bell; and now let us go,
and comfort the inner man."
The days ftfecmcd to glide by as rapidly as
before, thoy dragged heavily along. The
news came on the morning of the fourth of
February, that the railroad was cut on the
Augusta Branch, and that Sherman was ad
vancing rapidly across the country to cut the
other brauchet L?, Troops were being con
centrated there, and every hour the scream of
tho puffing locomotive announced a fresh ar
rival.
Mrs. Raymond's plantation was situated on
a little stream about a mile from town, and im
mediately on tho line of road. Every train
that parsed was greeted by a crowd of darkeys,
who rushed to the side of the road, wavin?'
ragged caps and rimless hats, and displaying
all manner of U?C??th gi&uTca. The fourth
traiu had passed, only a few moments, when a
boy Cinle in, puffing and panting, saying the
train had run off the track. Douglass hurried
off to see if it were true ; and before reaching
tho scouo of tho disaster, ho met two officers,
with whom he was well acquainted.
"Why, hallo, Captain, do I see you ?" asked
the eldest.
"Yes, I am hero, Colonel, and have just
started out to hear if you needed assistance.
I heard your traiu had run off."
"Yes, Captain, it has run off; but nothing
serious has happened. Wo are not far fron?
L?, 1 judge '{" said the Colonel.
"No; you can see the depot ami commissary
buildings from where you stand. I think it is
about, a mile from here by rail. Rut. Colonel,
1 am here at ! oino. Will you and Colonel
Willis walk up with me V
'?Thank you, Captain, J will go up. What
say you, Willis ?" said Col. Austen, addressing
the young mau.
"I will avail myself e! the invitation, if
Captain Raymond will excuse my appearance."
The three men went home without further de
l?y^
Kate was standing in the door, and as she
saw them coming, she called to her mother,
who was busy getting a box made up for her
son to carry away. '"Mother, Douglass is com
ing hack, and two soldiers are with him. Do
come and see them." Mro. Raymond canto as
Kate requested, and met them at the door.
When Douglass turned to introduce Colonel
Austen he found it unnecessary. His mother
mother aud the Colonel were old friends. He
presented his friend, Colonel Willis, to his sis
ter and mother. Colonel Austen did not wait
to bo formally introduced to Kate, Baying, "I
suppose, Mrs. Raymond, this is your daugh
ter," nnd grasping Kale's hand, be shook it
warmly. Ina few moments, they wero chat
ting pleasantly about the times. "And are
you going away, Mrs. Raymond!"' asked Col.
Austen.
"Oh no, I expect to romain at homo ami
take of our dwelling,?save it from lire if 1
can.
"Just what my wife said, when I urged her
to coriio to 8outh Carolina with me. 'I will
stay at homo ; and if I am burnt out, I will
hovo the satisfaction of seeing it done/ was
the invariable nnswer niado to my ontrcaty.*'
Colonel Willis had walked into the house
with Captain Raymond, while tho two ladies
and Colonel Austen were talking un tho piazza.
"Miss Raymond, .you have met one of the
most gailaut men of Mississippi. In the field
he is one of tho coolest and most daring men 1
ever saw. Fu the last light, we would have
lost an entire brigade, but for //As daring intro
podity. His name rings with praises in our
army*"
While be v.ns speaking, the young men en
tered.
Kate looked up al Colonel Willis, and could
scarcely realize that that sad, serious man
could bo so brave and daring. Colonel Willis'
face bad a grief-stricken, weary look. He was
not handsome, but the true nobility of suul
was stamped upon his large open brow, und
seen in his fearless grey eyes. Tall' and finely
formed, with an easy, graceful manner, a cas
ual observer Would pronounce him handsome,
but ho was not?bis voice was one that gave
pleasure to listen to. He said but little during
the afternoon. Ho seemed buried in hit! own
sad thoughts.
Mrs. Raymond had supper prepared early
that evening and when the soldiers entered
the room and sat down, Col. Austin said it was ,
tho first he had sat down to eat suell a meal in j
six months. Mrs. Raymond had both tea and
genuine coffee, it was a rare luxury, then
not often indulged in.
After tea, Kate was requested to favor the
guests with musii. * i
?"Cub Willis bar.i firnT voirTvMIsP Truym?ir.V
no doubt he will accompany you in singing,"
suggested Col. Austen.
"I know very little about music. Miss Ray
mond. In camp the boys bad a glee club, and
I I became a member of it?more to bear them
sing than to sing with them."
"You can certainly sing all that Douglass
and myself do. 1 only sing a few songs?and
those are Southern airs. Come brother, put
that pipe away?and sing with u.<."
"Sing what, Katie ?"
"Oh ! any thing that 1 choose to play?
'Captain with tho Whiskers' will jtist suit pou,
won't it ? Come, do stop smoking."
"Mean that for mc, too, Miss Raymond?"
queried the old Colonel, as he puffed out a
great volume of smoke.
"Oh ! HO sir?I never disturb old people?I
let papa smoke tcs much as ho please, so I'll
accord the same privilege to you, as you are his
old friend."
''Thanks fox the liberty? now give us the
music."
Kate sang very sweetly, and when hor
brother and. Col. Willis joined her, they made
C'Aceilont music. They sang many Bongs to
gether, and ended by singing a comic song?a
medley of a dozen songs. As the evening
wore away, Col. Austen and his friend took
leave of the Raymonds, promising to call again.
The soldiers bad long before this reached
camp in L?, and wore sleeping soundly, when
their officers came up to the camp.

A liroco of Cnrnot-Ilnggers.---Thc Men
who would Rule South Carolina.
The Charleston correspondent of the New
York World sketches white man Lewis ami
black man Randolph with toHiny raciness :
Rev. T. W Lewi- i-; a white nirin. Rev. R.
F. Randolph is n thieklipped, lustful mulatto
,15oth are preachers; both are professors in the
Raker Theological Institute, (colored.) estab
lished here since the war; both are editors of
an obscure, dirty, blasphemous, semi-Methodist
semi-political, all radical, little weekly, pub
lished in this city, and called the Charleston
Advocate j both are from States considerable
North of this; Lewis hailing from Massachu
setts, and Randolph from Ohio; both arc
preachers of the Methodist Kpiscopal Church,
and leading men in what that church recog
nizes and support.- a^ the South Carolina Mis
sion Conference. Of course the membership
is confined to the blacks, who have been al
lured by these "'wolves in sheep's clothing"
from the folds in which they wen; formerly
nurt ured.
Neither of these men could stand a success
ful examination in Webster's spelling book, or
write what I would consider a creditable note ;
und yet both arc duly registered as "profes
sors" in high-sounding departments of a Theo
logical institution, whose catalogue is circula
ted in New England, nnd embraces a course of
siudy before which even the students of Prince
tan and Andover might well tremble.
The Advocate has but a handful of subscri
bers in this section, for the negrow nrc nnnble
to read it, and very few of tho white people
even know of its oxistonco. But with er with
out oirculntion, and howover contemptibly
diminutive nnd badly printed, it receives a
j ?toT'horson douceur of the public printing to
i tho the tuuo of $5,000 per annum, as perhaps
j tho only "trooly loil" paper in tho State.?
"With this, and such subscribers as the editors
pick np in their summer visits and pcregrinn
tions among the New England saints, tho radi
cal organ in reconstructed South Carolina is
maintained. The entire working forco, when
the office was visited not long sinco, consisted
of one dirty white man and one black ''devil,"
{ I. i. negro apprentice.) The dirty white man
hoi since been appointed by (ion. Canby an
alderman of this city, with a number of negro
confnrcH assigucd to similar prominence and
power, by the memorable' conp dr grace of the
great satrap who now lords it over the two
Carolinas. What has become of the black
'?devil" deponent knnwoth not, nor need your
readers care.
The mulatto Randolph is the congenial as
sociate of Lewis in the editorial and sanctum
chair professional. When the Radical Ne
gro League Junta was arranging its machine
ry for the control of the State, it was ascer
tained that this city was ovcistocked with
candidates, and that a distribution Would he
?tttoe6sary. Accordingly, numerous carpet-bag
gers here wcro unceremoniously assigned to
counties in the interior, nnd thus Randolph,
professor in the Baker Theological Institute,
and editor of the Charleston Advocate and liv
ing in thin city, Was duly returned, and official
ly recognized by General Canby ns a delegate
to the Convention from Orangeburg, eighty
miles distant in the interior. And in like
iunnncr, the whole nest of adventurers, har
ijfcgdhore under the shadow of tho citadel,
^von^irWTrr^ d 1'Or >u .. atioo uiWutioiisly
termed "constitutional." T*y this manoeuvre,
Randolph added to his - other income the
eleven dollars per diem and mileage, as a
member of that African assemblage.
While a party oPOrangebnrg negro burglars
were on their way to tho county jail in charge
of the regular law officers, they were rescued
by nu armed hand of frcedmcr The officers
obtained assistance and pursued the party,
when a fight occurred, resulting in the capture
of several bft.be resenrer?, two of whom were
horiously wounded, nnd have since died.?
Their dying declarations, made unsolicited in
the prescencc of their attending physician and
two United States soldiers as witnessoss, sol
emnly affirm that Rev. B. F. Randolph, Ohio
negro, preacher, editor, burnt district perform*
cr, constitution-maker and Senator from
Orangeburg. suggested, authorised and ordered
them to attack the- sheriffs party and release
the burglars vi et ami*. All this within a
fc*V weeks past, ill Canby's District and under
Canby's eye. for the papers here have publish
ed the facts, and yet there is no military com
mission ordered to try this reverend professor
for the murder'of these two men, of which ho
\a clearly guilty, if there is any truth iu the
law maxim : J'acit per afium, fitr.it perse.?
Hut when the pcstil;nt Dill was killed in Ker
shaw, doubtless by some of his own party whom
lie had outiaged, some of the best oi :zou? of
that locality were dragged from thoir homes by
r detachment of Canby'a soldiers and impris
oned here where they are still e??fin?d, and it
suems there is not a particlo of evidence against
.them. But- Randolph is a radical ami in
stead of going to Castle Pinckucy and thence
via military commission to the State's prison,
goes to Columbia and occupies a seat iu the
Senate of South Carolina. And the StlUiC
Hnndnlph was a delegate from South Carolina
in the eineiig > Convention, giving the radical

Judge F. J. Moses.
Tlic l>"dy now assembled in Jaiiney's Hall,
styling itself the Legislature of South Caro
lina, elected a Chief Justice on Wednesday.
Speaking of the successful candidate, the
Sumter Watchman says :
-When, in 1SG0, Judge Moses declared, iu
the presence of his fcllowciti/.ens in the Court
House, at this placo, that if South Citr?lirin
did not secede, Sumtor District must do so;
and when, subsequently, as Commissioner of
tho State, he so aroused the dormant energies,
of North Carolina, and assisted her to execute
the work of secession; and w hen, at n still
later period, with tho lire of Southern patrio
tism .^o burning iu his bosom, to avenge the
wrongs of his injured section, and drive hack
the invaders of his country, he buckled on the
j trappings 6f war and joined (iov'or-not .Wise in
tho mountains of West Virginia; and when, at
o yet lutcr day, ho so Urged hin follow-eitisens
on to the battle-field, nnd ftimlly, in tho excess
of his ardor, became the diishing commander
of a company of home cavalry, to assist in pro
tracting the rebellion, it was but littlo believed,
even with a knowledge of his antecedents,
that ho could ever caat himsolf into the posi
tion he now occupies. And this belief could
have been but strengthened when, ohiefly in
conscquonce of his zeal in behalf of the War
ou tho part of his State and the Honth, he vm
invested by a late Legislature of his 8Ut*
with tho dignity of a position among ber
honored judiciary. But ft has beon reserved ,
for him, at this vital crisis, to betray und for
feit every hope and claim oi oonfidenoo, and to
perform his crowning act of recreancy. As a
politician, since '32. Judge Moses has over
trimmed his sails to catch the popular brcesc
?now upon one side, and now upon another
?now halting to watch tho tide, and now
leaping forward abreast its foremost wave,
when ita direction was distinctly seen. This
has been borne with quiot submission by the
people of his District, since he has bcoh regar
ded abroad as the exponent of thoir sentinltints-,
until, nt length, they may no longer rc?laiu
silent and preserve their sol I-respect?their
character for intelligence, honor aud iudopcnd^
cut thought.
"Wc speak for Sumter Dietrict-"-tho mass of
her intelligent citizens, who, notwithstanding
such examples and such influences in their
midst, are unmoved from the path of principle
and truth, nnd will, at all hazards, maintain
their honor nnd their respectability.
'?The obovo brief exhibit of this honorable
gentleman's public antccedeuts and performan
ces, and of his present position, has been sub- ,
mitted solely with the view of removing an
impression, which outside the limits of our
District may prevail, that his Honor reflects
the political convictions and integrity of our
people. The day for such influence on his
part has long since beon verging to its close?
it has now set in the shadows of evening.
Tho wand is no more in the magician's liand."

ing to tho Danger (Me.) Democrat:
For four days' work, in 1859, I go old btty a.
barrel of oxccllout flour. For an equally good
barrel, now, I havo to work oigbt day?.
For one day's work, m 1859, 1 eould buy
five pounds o. tea. For name day's work, I
oan now buy but two pounds.
For one day's work, then, I could buy, thir
ty pounds of sugar. For a days work now, 1
can get but fifteen pounds.
For a day's work, iu 1859, I could buy
eight pounds of tobacco. For a day's work,,
now, I can buy but throe pounds.
For a day's work, in 1859, I could buy fif
teen pounds of ooffee. For a day's work, now,
I can buy but five pounds.
For one month's work, hi 18&9, I could <
clothe myself and family for one yeaar. To do
the Baroo, now, I am obliged to work two
months and a half.
I might thus go throilgh the whole list of!
articles that a laboring man and bis family
consume. The fact Is, that we arc permitted
to enjoy but ono-half of the fruits of our labor;
tho other half goes to the public treasury.
Is it not timo Jbr mo and my fellow-la
borers to look around us, ascertain the cause
of this robbery of labor, and apply the tomo
dyf
Indeed, ft is time; but tbc cauac of this
robbory of labor is already ascertained, and
tho people will apply the remedy next Novem
ber. Tho "Laboring Man" is right, when ho
says thnt the people art' permitted to enjoy but
one-half oi* the fruits of thoir labor, but he
makes an error fn stating that "the other half
goes to the public treasury." If it did, the
public debt would be paid. It goes to support
tho Southern negroes iu idleness; to keep tho
whites under the bayonets of a huge .standing
army; and to enrich the plunderers. This is
what is done with the people's money; aud tho
cormorants who are sucking the life-blood of
labor and industry iu the country ask the
people to sustain them iu another four years'
torm of robbery. The coutitty cannot afford
it.?.V. y WorM.
