These were plain, old fashioucd, modest looking, little structures with rough walls, bare ' benches and pino pulpits; but their uneoinfortablencss nud inconvenience did not prevent the little band of devout worshipers from flocking thither Sunday after Sunday. Here they came in all kinds of weather, not only the residents of the village but from thesur rouuding cotrutiy also, these last iu gigs, carts, queer-looking old ca royal Is, and some on horseback. These were tho days of good old-fashioned religion when the heart could worship God kneeling upon the bnro floor with the sunlight or rain as it might chance to be , coming through the great openings in the rr.of, with a deep, honest fervor we f'< ar is almost unknown in these latter time.:, of carpeted floors and cushioned pew?. Then "our girls" were nof ojTiaincd of their homespun dresfees, chocked nprons, snnbonncts, cotton collars and cuffs and rou^h homoimud* shoes. Or what cared they if their rustic escort was clad' in a suit of clumsy jonhs much too short at wrist and ancle, which plainly showed tho check shin beneath, or coarse brogans below t or what, minded she of his awkward tin gainly movements as he assisted her to alight and then walked with her up to tho "mcefin-hou.so" door, casting "sheen's eyes" around all tho time to sec if any body "was n-lookiu 1" Thea were the days when flattery and coquet ry were unknown in oUr humble, little Hurgh. Oranpcburg too bad her hotel then, or rather "public house" ns it was call od This was ? lotrg. low,voonry, wood en building-, one stcr*, in he'ght, und Npss kept by Mr. Winninglh The well-spread table and comfort.. iu sleep ing apartments to be found hero- by tho weary traveler, and the smiling f?wo of tho landlord, ever ready to welcome them, were full proof oftlm popularity, and esteem in which "the butt" was held. - At this place the line of coaches which wcro thon being run between Charleston' and Columbia, "pulled up." J>y this route, tho mail bags too wore brought, whoso contents were then car riod to tho store of Mr. William Poosor which then served hs a post office, and were thero left for distribution. Not yot had the "snort of the iron horse" penetrated this quiet little village. Ou one of the prinoipal streets, near whero Mr. lliggs now carries on his carriage manufactory, thero stood a rough luoking little shed- known as "the market." On top of this was placed n bull, aud iuside woro found blocks lor cutting up meat, and the necessary scaks for weighing. This was placed hero lor accommodation ol'such count ry meu us would bring in beef, pork, mut ton and Other fresh meat. On- reaching the village they would mnko their way here, and ringing tho bell would thus m.tily the villagers thut thoy were ready to servo thorn with mout. These would flock hither with baskets and the bar gaining would oommonco iu good ear nest. 'Tl: jn thero was tho Orangebuvg cavul wlifch for a short time was comman (I d by dipt. Fit/patrick, if we arc no?. rtrlftakou. On "parade days" tho gul cap'.arn rode forth all booted and nil and with dtnwu sword in hand at the head of his men, who "faced about," "forward, raarohod" and"eharg ud" in quite an appropriate military i /h . TUoy wcro both tho cnv*y uud admiration ol the little urchins about (he p\uao'i who, followed by n; pack of dogfl, ran closo in tho wako of the horses' lie.d.; as tho cavalry paraded the street*. Ah! how boyish hearts swelled with n i'd or and enthusiam as they, too, longed to bo a ""jullaut soldier." Ppnvr In tho days ol which wo are writing tho laws ol South Carolina were exceed ingly severe,<ind wero geutrally enfor ced to their fullest extent. Tho stealing of a slave was then considered to bo ono of tho most crimiunl of offenses and was punished with hanging. About ibis time ther'o came to Orangeburg a Span iard by the name of La Crow. Said La Crew was ofa wild, fOvitig disposition, and addieted to frequent drinking. Ho formed an intimacy while here with a ne gro banted Edmund, bolouging to Thom as Cross, an intimacy which afterwards cost La Crew his life. Ilo was charg ed with attempting to steal this l.dmuud and sufficient proof having been found against him he was tried, convicted and sentenced to be. hung. Popular feeling ran high in his frvor, and it may be re membered by some now living how np to the very last La Crew protested his innocence, and declared that the time would soon come when they would find that he spoke truly. In corrobor.itio n of this statement in af'or years, it i.-> said that Kduiuud upon his death bed called his master to him aud there told him of the conspiracy that bad been formed against the unfortunate La Crew. The fuels oi the case r.s be is supposed to have told tbem are as follows : It seemed that LaCrow io sonic way had incurred tho auger nnd jealousy of. two prominent character*) ort the village and I bey determined to rid themselves of his presence. Thoy hired this Kdiuiind to go to LaCrew and tell him that there was a person across the rivor, who wanted to sec him on sneh n night at a certain hour, and idler to conduct him thither. They then, acting out the other part of tho plot, informed the authorities that thoy bad hoard that on a certain night, naming the one, LaCrow w. s going with Rduiuud oil foot Lo Charleston where be was to sell him and divide the profits. The authorities set a Watch. The night having arived the unsuspicious La Crew set out with Kdmund for the purpose ol having an in tervtew with this person,a* he suppisurd, but in foot walking right into the very trap that bad been set for him. Thoy were overtaken just this side of tb<S river bridge and La CfiSW being found iu the company of Kdmund was suUicio it proof of bis Icing guilty of stealing a slave, never mind how uimd? be protested tj the contrary. lie was brought back, iried (-or his We,- nml sondo'snU'jd lo be ..ung.- This i* t!iu story it is said Kdmund toid his mastery and- it may be rciuoniLt Jod by aomo of the cdJ&t;t oft i /.ens of Orangeburg who were* present at tho hanging, bow upon the ?a?ows I, i Crew himself doclar d lie was the victim of a conspiracy. Brit ciroumst untial evidoQce was strong against him, and, whether guilty or not, tho uirlbrtuu utc in;.ii wa.- UOiidouinod to suffer death by banging. The day of bhecx-oontion having ar rived La Crew was brought out of the jail n'>d placed in a cart sitting upon his colliu. All iho way to the girUows ho kopt talking incc.-suiit ly say ing ho would die cheerfully if only allowed his freed otto long cuoug to k II his two enemies wlnjf. bad been- bis bitterest accusers, lie bi ggv d one of the men, who was serving as marshal, to give him a sword, an 1 sot him free, for only two minutes, (in arriving ab the spot, tw* old ii id down near the banks of ihu I'M is to, ho W.ss taken i ut aud placed upon the gallons.

The pit n't upon which the doomed man-stood ivi |daccd upon brackets uailed to euch post. On being asked if ho had any thing to say ho replied*Yes, there arc two men standing iir this crowd wh > know thrt I am innocent. Though' they may exult now in their hearts over my downfall, yet (lie time is coming when a worse fate than mine will overtake them. To one of them, Mr.- 1 wish to say this : You sir wili be a vagabond upon the face of the earth, shunned 'of men, and detested by all who know you. To the other: You sir will diothe death of a dog, and the buz/.atds will pick your eye? out." Turning to tho Sheriff be exclaimed * ".Mark my prediction and sco if it does irof cotuu true." Then to the people he said : *i am far from my native land-, friendless and' among strangers, yot I cau die as becomes a muti ." Mo then announce 1 his readiness, when the Sheriff proceeded to adjust tho kuot, but beingsumewhat inexperienced, was rather slow, seeing which, La Crew jerked it out of his hand and knottcd.it around his own nock. Thou with the words: "I'm .roady,. and hero I go !" upon bis lijjs; La Crew stepped'off tho plunk of his own-accord, and his soul was hurried into eternity. How well tho predict ion ol flhe mar dored man was- in after years verified, soitie already know. Tho two men who as hrr declared1 hud conspired against him, one of them became a wamleror in a distant State, ancT the other diod.in a dru-nkeur bout. For a long while after the hanging of La Crow numerous wore tho stories set afloat by the superstitious affirming that the ghost of the Spauiuid might ol\( u b?; seen haunting a lonely ^spotj on the. river road near a veucrublo oak that stood iu the center of the street, near the residence of Mr Jacob Ilickonbaker. A number of negroes and little ah?dron about the plaie fully b.elievcd all this aud had sometimes declared they them selves had seen "the spirit." Quite an amusing story is told in connection with those on one of the jurymen who served at that time. Old "Uucle Johnnie" as he was more familiar by known, was a queer eccentric character, notouly a great lover of his drink, but highly supersti tious also. On sale and election d iy.s and at numerous other times, he might bo socu on a venerable looking gray horse riding about the village, where ho would remain until a late hour drinking, too tipsy to return home. One night 'Uncle Johnnie" was taking his usual driuks at one of the little doggeries. A number of persons being present the conversation turned upon the lulu hang ing and the stories that had been set afloat. With a sly wink at "Uncle Johnnie" which the set understood, one waggish young fellow w nt to giving awful blood cu.d ing stories of the ghost ly visitant. "Uncle Johnnie" listeucd terror stricken, so greatly frightened that his knees shook together. This oak at which the ghost was said to make its appearance, lay directly on bis road home, ami the more ho thought of it the more his courage sank, and he kept delaying his time of departure Unobserved by him one or two of the oung fellows style out, and securing tho services of a ventriloquist who was then passiug through the place, proceed ed to this huge oak, and there, made an cfligy of La ('row. Stretching a rope, across from the tree to the fence by means of a ring fastened around the effigy's neck they could at any moment swing it out into the center of the read. Hiding iu the fence corner they awaited old "'l'uclc Johnnie's" upptoach It was at quite a late hour iu the night when, having scrcved up his courage to its highest pitch, he sallied forth lor his home. As he noarcd the m-trch dreaded oak suddenly there swung out before his hor rified . gaze the figure of the murdered Spaniard. With a cry of terror, "Undo Johnnie." reined iu his horse, and be gan pleading to the ghost a^ he suppos ed, fur mercy. But the figure, ilia deep sepulchral voice, declared that ho had come from the other world for him, nnd ho must now go. Thou as it made a swing towards the frightened man, as if to clutch him, human nature coal 1 en dure is no longer. Turning his horse's head "Cuclfl Johnnie" galloped madly back to the village,-one yell after another ringing out upon the night air, startling the inhabitants from their .dumber. Ali that uighthe lay awake at the tavern not daring to return Irotttu again, groaning with terror und declaring llnrt the ghost of La Crew had come for him. Though the joke was found out afterwards yet to his dying .day old "Uncle Johnnie" fully believed and firmly protested that he had seen the ghost of the Spaniard, and no argument or proof cuuld con vince him to the contrary. These, as we have told* them, are some ol the principal events and incidents that marked tho past ol' Orauguburg some forty years ago. W hat its present is all who live here now can tell; what its future will be (hat future a hue- will show. Atlanta, Ca. 1873. Vote for T. Cr Andrew? next Wednesday.
