A resolution was adopted •providing for the holding o! a rc- union in July 188.1, in which the Com panies of Captains Dixon,.retailings ami Hunter, of }he same Regiment, will be invited to participate. The lie-union of Company “A” of the First Kcgiincnt of South Carolina Volunteers, in the Confederate A rni v. , On Thursday last, the 14th inst.,the tty little town of Williston pre- el quite an animated scene, the asion being the re-union of Com pany “A” of the 1st Regiment »S. C\, Volunteers, General, Maxey Gregg’s old regiment. Visitors from every section of Barnwell County, as well as large delegations from Aiken and the surroumling counties, poured in to the town at an early hour, and when the Company marched to the ground there were present between 1,500 md 2,000 persons. A stand liad been erected just out side of the Academy building, a large United States fiag was unfurled to the breeze ami MRebels Band from Charleston, discoursed the Bonnie Blue Flag, Dixie and other familiar and patriotic airs. From the centre of the stand waved the Regimental colors, tattered and torn by bullet and shell but eloquent in its memo ries of those brave spirits who had sunk to rest, bathed in their hearts best blood while upholding their coun try’s honor ami vindicating the sa credness of the imperishable cause for which they fought. The stand was soon occupied by the survivors of Company “A.” and Col. Edward MeCrady, jr., Capt. James Armstrong, Capt. W. Aiken Kelley and Messrs. H. J.McCormack, A. F. O’Brien and J. G. Bryajai (who also fought in this Regiment) Rev. J. B. Massabcau, Hon. James Aldrich, Dr. W. W. Smith, (Intendent of Willis ton), Representatives of the Aiken press and H. M. Thompson, Esq., who reported for the Augusta Chronicle. Dr. Smith called the meeting to order and in appropriate and eloquent language paid a handsome tribute to Company “A.” and welcomed the audience to the hospitalities of Willis ton. He then introduced the Rev.J.B. Massabcau, who oflerd up a brief hut appropriate prayer. Capt. W. W. Williams, of Aiken, a gallant survivor of Co. *‘A.,” who joined the ranks when a mere boy, then stepped to the front ami made a biief but eloquent and chaste address, and then proceeded by request to in troduce the speakers of the day, which he did in the most effective and hap py manner. Col. MeCrady was the first speaker, who delivered a lengthy historical address, which revealed some startling facts and figures. He was listened to with marked attention by .the numerous throng. Capt. W. Aiken Kelley, who com manded the Carolina Light Infantry, trtrii iftood next to TTo. the tolls were $5,777,000. Then, its success being apparent and the benefit of English commerce beingiinmence, England bought from the Khedive 176,000 shares of stock, paying $20,- 0*0,000- for them. Last year the num- l»er of vessels was 2,727, and the earn ings were. $10,254,.800. And of the 5,704,000, tonnage of the traffic of Issl, not less than 82 per cent, .belonged to England. The loss of power in Egypt not only exjioses England to the loss of much of what she paid for her canal shares, hut, what is vastly greater, to the loss of the control of her great highway to India. It is evi dent from these facts that England is in earnest in her demand fora resto ration of the ftfaltiH q//o in Egypt. Her pocket nerve‘is affected, and when you touch that old John Bull twists the tail of the British lion and you may expect a fight. THORNE. DEVENEY & CO.. HARDWARE, CARRIAGE MATERIAL, MILL SUPPLIES.

MEETING OF TH E WlNI»SOH < I L H Eleetion of Deleguies—Laiirc cemlanee—-Speeelies l>y Severa ditlates. On Saturday, the 15th, hav reived an invitation to att<j meeting of the Windsor t.Hik the train in comp; iff M. T. Holley ai. I’lsq., who had r killed in the Regiment, ; in its simple pathos, way straight to the heart of many a gifey *haired veteran who bad fought ui d suffered for the cause. The tfiird s pcaker was Capt. James Armstrong, i vbo was the comniander of the IrishV Volunteers, tlie Color Company otf the Regiment. The speech of thijs gentleman was one oi the most graceful and eloquent efforts that we have'had tlie pleasure of lis tening to in a long time. Its thorough good taste, its total absence of hyper bole and meretricious compliment, while grandly picturing tiie services of his glorious Regiment, constitutes it a work of art and a credit to the head and heart which eould make such utterances. We regret exceed ingly that the Newt* and Courier did not have a short-hand reporter on the spot that the language might have been preserved. The man is a born orator as well as a patriot and a gal lant soldier and gentleman. When Capt. Armstrong took his seat beauti ful boquets of (lowers were thrown to him by the la-lies. It must not be forgotten that the colors of tliis Regiment was the first borne in thestreets of Gettesburg and that Capt. Armstrong’s Company, the Irish Volunteers, were its custodians. The Hon. James Aldrich was next introduced, and spoke in his usual eloquent and impressive manner. His admirable speech formed a fitting close to the oratical part of the pro ceedings. The vast audience then re paired to a grove to the right of the stand where an abundance of the delicacies and substancials of life were spread on numerous and lengthy ta bles, lor the regalement of the inner man. The large attendanee of ladies was a marked feature of the occasion. The best of order was preserved and the committee, consisting of Messrs. T. F. S. Weathers bee, .S. S. Owens, W. D. F. Bell, Joseph Dicks and Wil son Bonds, deserve the highest cotn- mendetion, for the admirable man ner in which all the details of the celebration were carried out. T1-* members of Company “A.” may A well congratulate themselves upon this happy re-union. This com- j re ~ pwny has a proml history in the past ! the 1 am^m-iny of the survivors are among i "'e our most iisMhl and respected citizens. I ?her- Of one hundred and twenty-eight i mouths ,f them Putting on Mouuxixg.—The cus tom of “putting on mourning” for the dead has been obsolete in England for some years among the higher classes, and is gradually becoming so here. There is no reason why it should not be. It often entails expense upon families that can ill afford it, is costly, unbecoming, and unhculthfui. Not one woman in a thousand looks well in it. I have seen a lieautiful woman look piquant in a widow’s cap, but the recollection that her attractive ness was horn of the grave, that she was making capital from a corpse around whoes neck her arms had often clung, turned admiration into another feeling. Its advocates insist that it is “a mark of respect.” But would not “respect” be shown quite as well by withdrawing from public gaze instead of inviting it, at such a time? The fact that the most intense care is taken that this “mark of respect” shall always he in the style of highest fashion staggers the conviction that sorrow alone fills our hearts, even in the first agony of bereaveiqent. We “bury our dead out.af our sight,” but not in the abomination of crape and bombazine. We lay them away in white robes and with the soft benison of flowers, for we would have the last look linger with us an ever pleasant memory, and in “\vhite robes” we hope to meet them again beyond the stars.” It is tijne that this flaunted advertisement of sorrow, this compul sory demand for street sympathy, this senseless obtrusion of a ghoul-like caste should take its place with the fashion of drowning witches, and of tbe belief that Gehenna is paved with the skulls of unbaptized infants.

Not pep’n dent or unpleasant members who inscribed their names on the muster roll, but thirty-two survive. How eloquent is tbe testi mony of this simple fact of tlie fl uidity of these brave men in there | unfaltering devotion to the fortunes ! of tlie lost eau-e. The vast concourse dispersed as had confined himself to facts, and published nothing more I would not have troubled you or \ our readers with anything further on this unpleasant subject, but injustice to myself I beg indulgence to make some corrections and explanations: First, Mr. Guig niard reiterates that he was assailed. I call the attention of the readers of me Cbrrmivmrtene 0 t<v xne fact they must well know, that in addition to the article to which he refers, he, (Guigniard), wrote a second article published in The Recorder of the :0th of it ay, in which he not only insinuated that the manner in which tiie delegates eleeted to the County Convention was fraudulently done, hut also made a very disrespeottul per sonal allusion to me, and to this as sault upon niysell and tlie action ot the Rocky Grove Club, of which I was president, 1 replied. Now after- Mr. Guigniard commenced this con troversy, as above shown, and alter having made statements which I have proven to he false by several of the best citizens of tins community, and after he has thrown all the dirty water of which Ire was capable , he now, to mislead the public, resorts to the old dodge of crying “ stop theif ” and is now holding up Ids immaculate hands in holy horroramd claims that we hud “ adopted such a Style ot ex pression which in his opinion should debar a gentleman from lurther dis putation” “and he has no taste lor crimination and recrimination,” and now is getting very anxious to relieve tire community of a disagreeable per sonal matter. No intelligent, fair- minded reader will be deceived by such.a puerile and contemptabie at tempt to dodge the consequences of his unwarranted conduct. Now a word in regard to the document R'jd signers that accompanies his card 111 the Journal and Review. This J'»'~ midalde instrument was circulated around for three weeks in probably us piany counties, (I infer the counties from the signers ) and was presented and represented as a “a mutual friend” and peace making measure. Who the author was or in whose fertile brain the thin;/ originated I do not attempt to say, suffice to say that such were the representations made and headed as tiie list of signers, show, by one who ought to he a peace-maker. A great many signed it without reading it and who had not read a single word of the controversy and consequently knew nothing about the matter except perhaps, what they had heard through ' Madame Rumor; hut a very few of these signers live in this Township, not exceeding thirty all told and alletasses, the hallance of the long list is made up of persons in various other townships and counties; some live a distance of fifteen or twenty miles from this neighborhood: quite a number of these signers are persons that some of the oldest and best informed citizens in this Town ship have never hoard of before their signatures appeared in this published list, and while the names of some ex cellent citizens appear iu the list, a large pr.>porti«*n are names of illiterate boys picked up wherever one eould be found that would sign to swell the list of names. Nowsofaras what is said in this document and what Mr. Guigniard says in reference to what i has been proved by certificates, that record of which Whereas the State Executive Committee at a recent meeting have doubled the representation in the State Convention from each county; and, whereas,, such action on the part of said Execu tive Committee renders it necessary to elect five additional delegates from this County ttr- the- State Nominating Convention} and, whereas, there exists a difference of opinion whether or not the appointees to tiie office of County Auditor and Treasurer should be nomini£3d by ballot at the Primary election#! Now, in cortsideration of the fore going, and by virtue of the authority in me vested as County chairman, I, George W. Croft, County Chairman of tiie Democratic party in and for the County of Aiken, do hereby call a convention of said party to meet at Aiken Court House on Tuesday, July 25, 1882, for tlie purpose of electing five additional delegates to the State Nominating Convention to be hold at Columbia on the first day of August next, and also for the purpose of de termining whether or not the appoin tees to the offices of County Auditor and Treasurer shall be selected by Primary election. The ratio of representation in the County Convention will be one dele gate at large from each club, and an additional delegate for every tweuty- tiv\<mm>Rod members contained on the club rolls. Tlie presidents j*nd secretaries of the various clubs will prepare and cause to be handed to the presidertt of the eogventivm certificates giving the number of enrolled members Con tained by *aeh club, and also proper credentials to the delegates elected by their respective clubs.
