From Anderson te> .lortda Thro0*1*1 tho Country-Pleasures and Annoyances Inci dent to tho Trip. ALAFIA, FLA., Sept. 20, 1878. Editor Anderson Intelligenter ; My route from Dublin, Georgia, and the hospitable residence of Mr. Jones, where my last letter to you left me, lay directly Routh, via Jacksonville, Qa., but owing to tho bridge being down over Gum Swamp my course was necessarily turned west, by a little town called East man, throwing us about twenty miles out of our way. Our spirits and courage ure refreshed, however, by the day's (Sab bath) rest we have had, and we move on without interruption or annoyance, ex cept some creeks to ford, which of course gives my lady the tremors and set her afoot again, but we cross thom all Bafcly, and camp ut a lonely-looking church eight miles before reaching Eastman, and twenty-three miles from Dublin. TI1?9 wj consider a fair day's travel, as it wa?? ten o'clock this morning before we got a start. Next morning, the 20th February, baviug had an uninterrupted right's rest, we are off by seven o'clock, and this day traveled twonty-Beven miles, passing Eastman, a small place of about two hundred inhabitants and five or six stores, nesr ten o'clock. The country from a few miles beyond Dublin is what is known as the wire-gross landa, and ex tends the remainder of our journey. Ia sparsely settled, nothing but pines and wire-grass aa far as the eye eau reach, having to me a very desolate and God forsaken (excuse tho irreverence) ap pearance, but which ?8 not unadmired by my lady. This night wo stop with Mr, Studstill, where the same kindness and disposition to share the bett with m meets us as has all en route. My lad) has had a big scare, however, in crossing Cyprus creek, which ia deep enough t( ruu into the wagons, though not nuki swimming, and no way for bur to croai afoot, except over a succession of ven high asd dnngr>rou3-lookme logs, a frightful to her in appearance as th stream. There is nothing io soothing V weak and delicate nerves as the assur ance of safety, accompanied with kind ness and sympathy, and once iu th house of the good people with whom w stop, all .is again bright and cheerful, an after a night of refreshment and sleej. we awake in the morning with rencwe energy for our journey, and the cry froi tho boys, as they harness the team, an us all is, "Ho I for Jacksonville I" Hei we are to cross tho Oakmulgee, and ai forewarned of trouble in crossing tl swamp on the opposite side. My expi i rience has always been that trouble bad enough when it comes, and I nevi worry myself with exaggerated ideas its immensity, but take it c olly, ot overcome it if I can. For three houi (impatient ones to us in our anxiety cross before night.) we ar^ dcV.yed at tl ferry for the want of a ferryman at guide through the swamp, the river ha iog been much out of its banks receutl and through the swamp are lagoons, ponds, of wator and bogs. Through tl kindness of Mr. Jackson, however, wi j voluntarily took it upotfehimself to ri? j two miles in search of a ferryman, we 1 last have the satisfaction of seeing hi approach, though ho has to cross t river in a skiff for tho flat, which is 1 tho other side. Mr. Jackson exhibits great deal of kind anxiety for our sa passage, as the fiat is very bad and leal He makes the ferryman carry the fami over first, and return for zach wagon a: the horses separately, making four tri] and having all the water bailed out ea time as he bas observ?e*, my lady's nei ousness, and by his ?'urefulneas a kindly interest contributes much to I ! comfort and assurance of safety. Aer< ! at last, we enter almost immediately t river swamp, our guides ahead pointi out to us the most accessible poii through the ponds and b?ge. Suddei we meet obstruction in a stump uni water; ono of my mules to the two ho wagon becomes entangled, and down goes, almost under wator; tho otl makes a plunge or two and gets acr the tongue. Simultaneously there cot a scream from Henry, who is on tor. the folded mattress in tho wagon, 1 my lady, who is in tho one behind, our guides aro to the rescue, and thot we have tho water to take wo get mules on foot again only to enter other. Finally wo bog down to tho \ axles, and one mule actually wrings shoo off of her foot in her efforts to ] out; but though we prize nud euc ?ur all wo can, it ia of no avail. The wa has to be unloaded, and it is now ni; I carry my lady across the mud water in my arms, and laud her in a place, and start ono of thc boys (Le ahead with her to look for a house wi we are told is not more than a mile ah After lightening our wagon of its 1 we get out after some effort, re-load have the satisfaction of hearing, "wc over the last bad place." As we d out we meet Lewis with a torch mid Robert Fussell, whosj house ho, witt mother, bad succeded in finding, and anxiously importuned to go to our a tance. Once at Mr. Fussell's, wc relieved, aud feel thankful that much of our trouble is over. Wo ! been two or three hours in the awi night very dark, and wc aro all c fatigued, though in no way discourt as each uew difficulty only teachc what we . m surmount, and thc kine we receive everywhere we stop add newed courage in tho journey we undertaken. After a quiet and uni rupted night's rest, we rise early, a mulo ?B to be re-shod and the wago packed, as we bad the things to tu in any way last night ir- the durn and this morning, too, I must send to be sure that I hare left nothing i swamp where 1 unloaded the w This gives us a late start-almost nt but ve push off and drive to-day, the 28tb, eighteen miles to Mr. Samuel Phil lips, who is a member of the House of Representatives from Coffee County. He did not impress mo favorably. Is a man apparently twenty-ilve years old, unedu cated, not versed in politics, and notable to say exactly what position be occupied; quite unsocial, and little disposed to ac commodate, though assured I expected and desired to pay for what I received. The correct road through this section 's rendered difficult to keep by the many intersections made by timber roads crossing and re-crossing *t at various point*. These timber roads aro made by parties hauling logs to the river to raft, and as they are cut wherever they can bc found of right sire the road intersec tions are very numerous, and will oasily mislead you if you are not very watchful. To-day, 1st March, I got out of the road for the Gr?t time, and vent some distance before I found it out; and once wrong, the majority of thc people are unable to set you right, as they know only tho road to their nearest neighbors, who w geuer ally six or eight miles off. This error occasion.* another short drive of eighteen miles, but which is accomplished without 1 further mishap, though Phillips had told us that thc Sautilla was swimming, and 'twould be beat for us to procure a guido on this side, as the ford was a wide one, and we would likely have trouble in crossing. This we could not do, how ever, aa the only person living near tho stream was away from home, aud would not return until late. This caused much trouble and uneasiness to my lady, who desired forthwith to camp, but I could not- afford to lose tho time, os it was early in the afternoon. I comforted bor by telling ber I would try thc stream on horseback, and if it was dangerous I would not allow tho wagons to proceed. This I did, and though it waa deep enough to run into tho wagon it was not deep enough to swim the horse?, and tho bottom is firm, which en,.bled us to cross without interruption. To-night wo stop at Mr, Corbit's. two miles beyond what | is known ns Daniels Station on thc R. H., but laid down on tho map as Willacoo chic, about thirty miles from Stockton, for which place wo will start to-morrow. Deviating from my journal, Mr. Edi j tor, I will sty that the late heavy gale, which interrupted our mails, has pre vented mo writing sooner. The storm has been the severest ever experienced in South Florida. The orange crop ia se riously damaged, tho trees I think losing at least half of their fruit from Iving beaten off by the winds. Many of them are thorned, and continue daily to drop. With us, few, if any banaoa plants that had heads, were able to stand, and in some places tho leaves have been whipped from the trees. For near sixty hours the clouds, wind and rain wero an un changeable feature. Fences wero blown down and, in many instances, near the streams, swept away by ?he it.?guLy del uge of water und mingled with floating logs and brush. The coast was lined with dead fish thrown up by the winds and tide, and left to perish upon tho re ceding of the waters. In Polk county, and lower down, the damage to stock and cattle has been serious. From hoing poor wc re. rh i I led through by tho storm j and rain, and raany drowned, being un able to escape, a? the whole country was submerged. One man, I understand, lost as many as ono thousand head of cattle, being driven for refuge to an island, where they were unable to subsist, eating the very bark from tho trees. I presume the extent of the damage can not be correctly estimated at present, but it bas been verv disastrous, there can be no doubt. G. H. S. LONDON.-Of all great cities London, on the whole, contains the most to inter est and instruct Americans. Its mere growth ia marvelous. It has doubled in population iu the memory of men still young. Most of our readers remember when Macaulay's History appeared. lu j his first volume the author contrasted the grandeur of tho modern city with thc London of Charles II, and boasted that the number of inhabitants had increased from a little^more than half a million to at least nineteen hundred thousand. Io the brief time that bas passed ?ince Macaulay wrote, thc one million nine hundred thousand has becomo four mil lions. A few extracts taken from tho best estimates will give ?orne suggestion of tho immense magnitude of tue city. It is aptly described as "a province cov ered with houses." New York is equal in population to tho aggregate of Maine and Nev .mpshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, ' ecticut, Massachusetts and Cali fort?. ., all together. To equal thc city of London hore, we should have to bring together all the people of tho fol lowing cities : New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, St. Louis, Chicago, Boston, j Baltimore, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Buf falo, San Francisco, Washington and Loni: villi.-. The transient people in New York aro about thirty thousand, in London one hundred and sixty thousand. In Nev; York a babe is horn every fifteen minutes, and a death occurs once in sev enteen minutes. In London a birth occurs every six minutes, and a death every eight. The drinking places in Now York set in one street would extend seventeen miles, those in London seven ty-three miles. The hugeness of Lon don makes it an uninspcctable labyrinth to tho majority of visitors. They see a little here and there, but the wealth and variety of detail in all that interests the mind is too great for any tourist to mas ter who does not go systematically and intelligently about it. Taking up those volumes on the great city, alter having made seven visita there, we nnd that we have not begun to see what we desire to. Barnum's Fat Woman. No circus is now considered complete unless it has an enormously fat woman in a side tent. As Barnum hos the "the greatest show on earth," ho of course has tho futte?t woman. Yet cf the thousands of curious people who an nually visit this monstrosity, few ever re flect that her obesity is a disease. Until very recently there waa no known reme dy for this abnormal condition. Allan's Anti-Fat has proved more efficacious than even tho most sanguine hopes of ?ta discoverer had anticipated. Ky its uso even Barnum's lat woman could be reduced tc graceful and even delicate proportions. Sold by all druggists. Education bj tho State. Tho questiou of popular education moro and more occupies public attention, and no more valuable contribution to the literature of the subject has been made recently thav? the address of Dr. Sears, delivered, bofore the Nashville Normal School last May, and now published and circulated asan appendix to bis annual report to the Directors of tho Peabody Fund. Dr. Sears sets out with this striking statement of thc philosophy of education: "In all great, public interests there is n simple underlying principle from which tho whole may be developed. That tirinciple in regard to public schools may )0 stated thus : Man was uiado for edu cation os much os the rirtli was made for cultivation. Both tho rational and the material world lose most of their value when ue^lected." Having elabo rated thia idea from his own experience and from history, thcS speaker next al luded as follows to tho effects of a want of general education on human happi ness. Said he : "With all the learning of individual men, there is among us and around us a frightful moss of ignorant aud almost useless citizens, which the educated class cannot control. Jf you inquire into the cause of much of our domestic unhappiness, you will hud that it is the want of culture and refinement. The son goes out at night for pleasure, be cause he finds so little at homo. The daughter seeks amusement abroad by day and by night, for tho same reason. The husband goes to the saloon and other places of resort, because his wife's stock of entertaining conversation is exhausted; and abo herself sits solitary at homo in the wearisome and dull eveuinga, be cause the family finds more pleasure else where. Nor/, if this be the history ol many families in every community, hon much of intellectual elevation, of high toi.ed moral sentiment aud public Bpirit, will bo found among them ? What are their social enjoyments and manners rational and improving, or low and de grading? elevating and refining inter' couibC, or sensual pleasures, and vulgai und commonplace conversation ? ] need not ask what are tho occupation o such families. They will bo of tin pluinest and coarsest kind. Thc art will be of the rudest oort. That skill which in this ago is an essential demon of prosperity, will be wauling.

The folly of the clamor about "chea; instruction ia clearly exposed : "There aro men who, if we may I lieve them, are not hostile to the pub achola : they only wiab to cut down u necessary expenses. Thoy want che schools-the cheaper tho better. Tb would graduate tho pay of teachers ' the day laborer. 'The poof,' they si do not need accomplished teachers or e ftensive schools.

In the second part of his discourse Dr. Sears, turning from tho general subjo't of public education, directs attention to tho advantages of normal schools. He says : "Tho great fault with untrained teach ers is that they do little but teach tho words and formulan of books. A Normal graduate teaches things, principles, thoughts. Every point is examined or ally, and subjects are sifted by tho exer cise of the judgment as well as the memory. The pupil is made to seo with his own eyes, and to rely on his own observations. Hooka arc a mere syl labus, a skeleton, to bo clothed, with flesh by thc teacher and pupil. Practi cal knowledge of almost every kind is worked in continually with the subjects of study. All tho common objects of sight, such ns flowers, plants, trees, rocks birds, insects, tame and wild animals, forms, colors and dimensions ; manners, morals, laws of health ; gymnastic exer cises, drawing and the cultivation of tho voice, receive special attention. This common-sense knowledge of useful things is a vital part of popular educa tion. Instead of this, how often aro the poor children wearied with the endless repetitiou of mere words, tho dry and stale lumber of tho books 1 The only way to prevent such disastrous results, und to make tho schools the pride of the people, is for tho State to make providion for thoroughly training a largo body of teachers. When schools are established iu every district, and a law is passed thai none but competent teacher? shall bo employed, a prolcssion is established, and persons can afford to prepare them selves for it. It will thus become a per manent and attractive occupation when thc schools become annual, and when graded schools open tho way for promo tion from thc lower to thc higher grades. To make a suitable provision among tea chers certain, it is necessary to establish j Normal Schools, which is the proper function of tho State. This will give dignity to the profession and produce a radical change in inc schools. CHU any thing bc more desirable than these two objects? Is there any greater reproach resting upon our system of education than the low character of many of tho schools, and thc utter incompetency of many of thc teachers?" Thc contrast between the teacher trained as such and tho merely educated man who undertakes tho profession of teaching is thus forcibly drawn: "The objection has been made to Nor mal Schools, that knowledge is what the teacher needs, and that our literary in stitutions furnish it best. This ia only half of what the teacher needs, and much the easier half. You will find tweutvwbo have this qualification, where I you And one who knows how to teach aud govern. This assertion is made not from a ihoreiicut puinl of view, but from a large experience and observation. I was for some years connected with the public schools of Massachusetts. School boards who had formerly employed col lege graduates, but moro recently gradu ates of tho State Nor mai Schools, could not be induced to appoint as teacher a young man just from college, without a Normal training. This is the more re markable os the members of the boards were themselves generally college grad uates. It was lound by trial that a knowledge of what- is commonly taught in learned schools is not al! that a teach er needs. Ile must know bow enter into the hidden recesses of tho youthful mind, and from that point work outward and i upward. The pupils is like a treasure in the sea, and tho teacher like a diver who goed to tho bottom to bring it up. If you do not descend, and ascertain lint exactly where the cbild's mind is, you will not bring him up where you are. i Tho descent of the teacher is essential to the ascent of the pupil." Of the philosophy that lies at the bot tom of any true system of education by the State, Dr. Sears says : "There is a still broader and higher view of education to which the teacher must aspire. On this subject, a now and progressive science is springing up. On what fundamental principies it should be founded and conducted is a question whir1*, is now tasking tho strongest in telleota of the Old World. Thc ablest philosophical writers of Germany and England have taken up thc Bubject. Since tho education of ins entire mass I of the people has been undertaken by al! civilized nations, r? vn/,tly wider rang? is given to tho subject than was known to the old writers. Thc truo aim of ed ucation is to bo more carefully fixed-the kind and degree of it appropriate to the public schools; and the bettor prepara tion for the duties of lifo are to bc more nicely adjusted. Reform-not mere in novation made On untried theories, or one-sided, empirical methods, or nny dead mechanism-but sound, rational reform, founded on well-tested princi ples, is to control the whole process. Shall all this pass over our beaus? Or shall the great thoughts of the foremost mon of the age be put into a practical form, and applied in all tho schools of the land? They most bc made known i^y ,.(r V'Schools jg . great body of teachers. In conclusion tho learned educator speaks of the good accomplished by thc formal School of Tennessee and its f?rowing popularity not in its own State nit throughout thc South. There can be no doubt that it has been produc tivo of more substantial cducutioual ben efit than other equal investment of thc Peabody Fund, and it is sinccr?ly to be hoped that similar institutions may be established in every Southern State as a source of supply of competent teachers io carry out to ita full results r. good system of public education.

When Grant sprang tho "mine," or "blow-up," as mnny call it, in front of Peternburg, Va., nt twilight on the morn ing of the 80th of July, 1884, the point immediate!/ over it was occupied by a Virginia battery. The ditches on tho right, immediately next to the battery, were occupied by the Twenty-Second South Carolina Volunteers, Col. Flem ing. On the left of tho battery the ditches wero occupied by tho F.ightcenth South Carolina, <>oloncl W. H. Wallace, (now Judge Wa.lace, of South Caroliaa.j of which regiment I was surgeon. All alone our lines our soldiers had dug out small bomb-proofs, as they cf'led them. These bomb-proofs wero generally about four feet brond, three feet high, and seven feet long-large enough for two or three men to crawl into and sleep with cora pnrnt:ve comfort and safety, which they did ii hen off duty, during that never-to be-forgotten siege by every rv an who participated therein. In one of tho bomb-proofs on the ex treme right of tho Eighteenth South Carolina Volunteers, and just to the left of the mine, Lieutenant Willard Hill, Company E, and Sergeant Greer. Compa ny A, Eighteenth South Carolina Vol teera, having been relieved from duty an hour before, wee sleeping. The first they realized of it was the shock, then a deep darkness, i nd then a consciousness that tho mino had hr .MI sprung, and that they bad been buried, bow deep they could not imagine. Their first impulse was a deep, indescribable despair-heart sickening, heart-rending, hopelessness, that left them almost powerless for a time. Hut what could they do? They had nothing to dig out with but a bayo net that Sergeant Greer bud in his belt, and there waa but a canteen of water in thc cell. But what was going on about them? Grant had consummated that must diabolical of all thc deeds ufa ter rible war. I was within 180 yards of it on my morning visit to my regiment, and it was just at that time of day-twilight -that even trees can look like ghosts, anti timi ridded to the weird scene of | death. Simultaneous with the deep, dead ] sound, and thu 'juiver of the earth, there j arose in the air a cloud of dust and | smoko, and timbers, men and muskets, and all mau nor of shapes and fragments, were Hying in every direction, and thou for a moment n stillness, and it seemed as if every cannon ou thc whole Federal lino was turned loose upon our lines. Shells shrieked through the air-musket balls and fragments of shells iell in every direction, plowing un tho earth and cut ting off limbs from the few trees that the ; relentless hand of war had spared. Then came the charge. Negro troops in front with splendidly caparisoned troops of the Federal army behind, driving them, as it were, to the front, like aheop to the ?laughtcr, with the battle cry of "Re member Fort Pillow," and the few-the very few-that survived no doubt remem ber the crater of Grant full as well. High above all the confusion and smoke and dust and groans of the wounded, could be heard tho battle-cry of the Fed erals, and tho words of encouragement of gallant officers-tho few thut are left of the Eighteenth and Twenty-Second South Carolina Volunteers, and those j bravo Virginians whose battery was buried in a common grave with nearly evoi'v soldier who manned it. But the Confederate lines wero broken in twain. Federals and negroes had made breast works of tho boulders that were blown un hy the explosion. But they were not to* stay there." Soon came Gen.

Then silence reigned-that painful silence which always follows on the battle-field after death has held high carnival. Then enme the sad duty of counting up tho cost. My brigade had Buffered severely -tho Twenty-Second Sooth Car olina had lost its gallant Colonel, Flem ing, ?nd many a brave soldier. My reg iment bad lost ono hundred and sixty three men. Two whole companies, A and G, Eighteenth South Carolina, had not a man left, who was on duty, to tell tho tale. One hundred end one of my men, including Captains McCormick and Birdgia, were dead-burled in the crater or scattered along the works-and sixty- I two missing. Among thc missing were Lieutenant Hill and Sergeant Greer. Wo left them in their almoat living grave; Greer dig ging with hia bayonet, while Hill passed back tho dirt with all tho desperation of despair. They hear not, heed not the battle that ia faging above them, but toil on. Often hopo would spring up in their hearts to give way only to despair. Hill has often told mo how. when he awoke toa conaciouancss of his condition, the thought flashed through his brain like lightning ; how he thought if ho could only ace one ray of light, or breathe the fresh air once again, that if ho could only let his wife know how and where he died, that death would bo a relief to v. : - - it-1> - .r-* _ .1 c-._i. iinii. .-iiuiuob ouuvvntcu lui i<mit?\ji 11 uni? air, they worked ou.

When they nwoko from tholr swoon, tho first sound that broke on their ears was tho clash of arms, and the quick rolling roar of the battle as it raged around and above.

At last the cry of vic tory rose high above everything else. They know that somebody had been van quished, and that somebody was victor; who, they knew not.

HUGH TOLAND, M. D. The Meeting al ??nmter. There cannot by any possibility he any better evidence of the determination of tho people of Scuth Carolina to avoid the appearance as well aa the reality of po litical evil than is given in their conduct at the Mass Meeting which was held in Sumter on Saturday. We do not caro to tell again rho story so well told in these columns yesterday morning. It most be said, however, that nothing was wanting in notice, in preparation, in talk and jeer and insult, and in actual injury, to make the white citizens of Sumter take the law into their own hands and punish those who had so insolently and horribly offended them. Instead of this-con scious of their i peculiar obligations to themselves and to the Democratic party at this juncture-they acted strictly in self-defence, and almost forswore their manhood fn their determination that nothing should be done at Sumter that1 could by any possibility be a blot upon tho name of South Carolina, or effect an injury to the Democratic party of the United States. Enough of this, however. Besides what was said in these columns yesterday, ' there were other reasons why the for bearance and fortitude of these white people at Sumter, on Saturday, was al most miraculous. It will bo remembered that the noto rious black Badical leader, Sam Lee, was rendered particularly conspicuous on that occasion by reason of his persistent and suspicious absence from the scone of the lawless proceedings ho had planned and inaugurated. We are informed that his absence was owing to tho fact that he was in hiding to avoid arrest .upon thc very serious charge of having instigated tho poisoning of tho entire family ot Mr. O. H. Mr ;ise, of Sumter, on the occasion of the Democratic meeting at that place on the 21st of September, Tho circumstances cf the poisoning, as told to us, were, in brief, that on the day indicated Mr. Moise baa invited Gen. M. C. Butler and other gentlemen to dine Uh him, at hb? home, after tho speak ing. For some reason Gen. Butler was unnblo to do so, and was not present, though expected up to the last moment. After the dinner every member of Mr. Moise's family, the guests present, tho ?erv tuts arid-nil who had partaken of .?loy portion of tho bountiful feast provided e attacked with vinleut pains und -,: :...i..i.:...Li._i ii.!1_? viuct luuuuiuiuio miu UIDIIUBIUI oiuip toms of activo poisoning. Medical aid was quickly eutnmoned, and in more than one instance fatal consequences were barely averted by the timely use of anti dotes, i Au examination uf several different articles of the food remaining untouched revealed the presence of ?rcenle in all, and confirmed the suspicions of Mr. Moise that the poison lind been adminis tered by design. Tho matter was kept os quiet as possible, however, and a dili gent investigation instituted, which soon discovered circumstances notating strong ; bjr to Sam I*ee os tho would-be. assassin, who baa thus endangered the lives of a dozen or moro innocent people in a des perate attempt to procure the death of one of tho Democratic leaders. That ho fai'ed to accomplish his purpose, and more than his purpose, is considered to be wholly duo to the fact of the unusual ly large amount of food that had been prepared for the entertainment ?nd the consequent weakening of the poison, which had been distributed throughout the whole. Ic may be depended upon that the matter will not bo suffered to rest here, asa Judicial investigation hon hryn de termined upon.

When the murderers of Amos Ladd were up in the United States Court, on che 10th instant, on a writ of habeas corpus and a motion for release on bail was made, Judge Bryan very properly refused the motion until due notice had been served upon the Solicitor of the Eighth Circnit, os tho representative of the State of South Carolina, against whose laws, tho prisoners bad offended, lt ii to be hoped that no legal punctilio will prevent tho Solicitor from being present at the renewal of the motion, and it is no disrespect to Col. Cothran to say that it is also to be hoped that the AU.irney General of the State will bo provest to assist him in opposing any effort to release the murderers from con I finement. The official position of Mr. Youmans. and his remarkable forensic ability ana legal attainments, would make his assis tance invaluable to thc Solicitor, and would doubtless have great weight with the Court. The case is one in which tho honor and reputation of the State are nt stako, and which^ consequently impera tively demands tho presence of the At torney General. The prisoners aie ruffi ans who. under the authority of a United States, commission; either recklessly or maliciously granted, for a long time ha rassed and persecuted tho people of tho mountain districts of Routh Carolina, until their vicious career finally culmi nated in tho diabolical murder of Amos Lathi, for which they were arrested by tho Statt a-.thorities.
