Conttpondencs .?<w? and Courier. WASHINGTOK, Januarv 14. Tno memoiable, incidents of the lato . war, which excited more or lesa attention , :\t tho Um? of their occurrence, have her- recently recalled to recollection under, circurostauceo that invest them V- 1th s now interest. Many of General Johnson Hagopd'a old soldiers w?ll doubtless recall the circumstauces of tho 'drat affair, wh'.lo Bomo members of Gen. ' Kershaw's brigade can rerhaps testily . moro in detail to the facts of tho second. -~4 Tor the' information bf your other readers, however, it should bo briefly 'stated'that on tho 21st of Aut-sl, 1864, Gon. HWood's brigade, with live others, ' were : ordered to carry a strongly en trenched Federal position on the Wel don road, near the Yellow Tavern, a fow . miles from' Petersburg, Virginia. For some reason only two brigades, of which Gen. Hngood'o waa one, went into action, and Gen. Hagood, at tho head of his mon, cwept over and beyond the first . lice of entrenchment'! in a charge that 1 carried all before it. At the second lino they were confron ted by overwhelming numbers, and met ' by such a close and deadly uro that theil advance was checked, and further pro gress'being manifestly impossible, thc command halted and endeavored tc 'maintain' the unequal fight where i! . stood. Being wholly unsupported, how' 'ever, and it .plainly appearing that thc assault had failed on thld account, retread . became inevitable. At tbis critical moment a mountct officer dashed out of tho Federal breast works, and, riding down the Confederad ? ranks, commanded tbo men to throv ?down their arms and surrender them selves prisoners. A number of both offi eera and mon, deeming their plight ? hopeless one, obeyed the order almos mechanically, abd the officer bad airead; taken the colors from the bands of th' ensign, when Gen. Hagood, who was oi foot and at Bomo distance, discovcrei what was taking place, and recognizin] the necessity for prompt action, orderet his men to Bhoot the officer on the spot ?This order was not heard, or at any rat was not obeyed, and firing bis pistol a the bold rider without effect, Genera Hr.good advanced rapidly toward hin ana demanded that ne should givo u the colors on the instant The officer rc plied that the command hod surrenderee and that Gen. Hagood waa himself prisoner. Gen. Hagood replied that n ono but hicnaelf had any authority t Gurrender, that he did not propose to d eo, and again demanded the flog to b given to him, adding that the officer wi "at liberty to rotura to his own lines . ho did BO." "You have made a bra\ fight, General," responded the brave an determined Federal, "but if you wi look behind you, you will seo that yo are lost." A single glance in the dire tion indicated revealed to Gen. Hagoc the fact that the enemy had closed i behind him, and that bia command wi surrounded. There was not a moment ; be lost. Gan. Hagood presented his pi toi and peremptorily demanded, "Wi you surrender that flag, sir, immediate -yes or no?" "By tho living God, No I"- fairly shot ed the gallant but. fated man, and wi tho words fell heavily to the ground the ball from hia adversary's pistol o tered his side. ' Selridg the colora and springing in tho saddle from which tho officer h; fallen,. Gen. Hagood led tho char against tho foe in his rear, and his coi ni and fought ita way back to the Confe erato lines: As stated in the affidavit appended t low, Gen. Hagood learned a few da afterwards, from Northern papera i celvcu through ibo lines, that the otfic referred to was'Capt. Dailey, of Gi Cutler's Btaff.

I am, very respectfully, : JOUKHOIV HAGOOD. Gen. Hagood's affidavit, which by reason of it* let*" character and intent necessarily omits the details of the con versation that occurred daring the fight, together with other incidents supplied in the first portion of this article, ls as fol i lo W9 : STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1 RICHLAND COUNTY. j Personally appeared before mo, D. B. Miller, Clerk of tho Con rt of Common Pleas of the County and Statt, aforesaid, Johnson Hagood, who, being duly sworn, denoseth und ?ayu as follows: That he, the deponent, is now Comp troller-General of tho State of South Carolina, and was, during the late civil war, in the service of the Confederates, commanding a brigade of Kobe's divis ion of the Anny of Northern Virginia. That on the 2lst of August, 1864, his bri/jade, thon temporarily reporting to Major General Mahono, was with five other brigades ordered to assail the Fed oral position on the Weldon road, near Globe Tavern, a few miles below Peters burg. That when his brigade had reached tho Federal intronchmenls and was struggling to carry them, it became apparent that the assault would fail, the other brigades not co-operating vigorously os directed. That the Federals pushed out a de ployed lino behind bim to cut off his re treat, and at tho same time he saw among his mon a mounted Federal officer, who had apparently come through a sallyport. This officer had seized a ^gimental dag and demanded a surrender Some offi cers and men bad surrendered, but wero not carried in ; others refused bul Just around him ceased fighting. Firing had ceased nowhere from the Federalline, and nowhere OIBO from the Confederate linc. Deponent called to the men to shoot the officer and fall back in retreat. They either did not In tua noise cf battle hear the order, or bewildered by the sur render of part of their number, failed to obey. It was a critical moment demand ing decision and immediate action. In a few moments thc disposition to surren der would have spread, and the brigade would have been lost. Deponent ap proached the officer, demanding the colora, and that he should go back into j his own lines, telling him he was free to do so. Tbo officer decisively refused, and tbo deponent shot him through the ] body. Mounting the horse from which i the officer fell deponent led his men against the lino in the rear, and succeed- j ed in bringing off the larger part of his ! command. Deponent learned a few days afterward, from Northern papers received through the lines, that the officer referred to was Capt. Dailey, of General Cutler's' staff. The attempt of this officer to secure tho surrender of a whole brigade came very near succeeding. It was one of the most dashing feats witnessed by deponent on either side during tho war. Upon the chance of securing a prize for the side ho served, Captain Dailey doubly staked his life, for he was while in the Confederate line in as much danger from the fire of his own men as from his enemy. Deponent further says that he makes this affidavit - at tho request, received through the mail, ol O. B. Dailey, of Council^ Bluffs^ Iowo^ who informs bira thai he is ihv Capt. Dailey referred to ; that he is disabled from thia and other wounds, and is applying for a pension from tho United States Government. Deponent has never known Captain Dailey, except on the battle field as de scribed; has no pecuniary interest what ever in the application by him for a pen sion, and complies with the request tor a statement of facts in the hope, moat sin cerely entertained, that it may benefit a brave eoldier. JOHNSON HAGOOD. NUMBER TWO. The hero of tho second incident was a Confederate soldier, a privato in one of the companies pf Gen. J. B. Kershaw's brigade. I do not know his name, and his story, so far as it could be related by my informant, was a brief ono. Perhaps Gen. Kershaw br some One of his old comrades will supply his name and a better account of ms daring deed. The facts as told to mo wefo that dur ing the battle of Fredericksburg, and after the Federals bad boen repulsed with frightful loss, in one of their attacks on Mary's Heights, a private cf his command appeared before General Kershaw with a number of canteens in bis hands, or siung from his shoulders, and asked permission to go over tho breastworks for tue purpose of carry ing them to the wounded I cderala, whose piteous cries for "water 1 water!" could be plainly heard above all the horrid din of tho battle. The ground whero thoy lay in front of tho works, was still owopt by tho incessant fire of tho opposing forces, and Gen. Kershaw naturally declined to allow the man to expose himself to such seemingly certain destruction. It was not safe, indeed, to present the slightest target over tho top of tho earthworks to the deadly hail that was poured upon them. Tho brave fellow replied simply that ba "could not bear to hear tho cries j of the wounded men," and would take j the risk if allowed to do so. Permission I waa granted with nom A rp.lnr?.iun/>rt rt mi j in another moment the Boldier waa'over the works und busily engaged in his has > ardon* task of ministering to the suffer ing and frantic Federals around him. The firing was steadily sustained on both sides while he was thus engaged, and scarcely a minute elapsed before a ball from the front nearly tore off one arm nnd left it dangling uselessly at his sido. Nothing daunted by his own severe wound, tho noblo fellow kept steadily on his errand of morey, and moved about among his prostrate fellow-creatures dis tributing thc water they sc much craved i as he went. The singular spectacle seemed at last , to have attracted attention in tue Federal ' ranks, and several officers could bo seen intently watching him through their field r glasses, as though to satisfy themselves ; that they were not mistaken as to bia purpose. Recognising the work he was . performing, and the danger he was In, thoy suddenly stopped the firing lu his 1 direction, which had indeed increased ? upon hts first appearance. The Confcd i crates followed their example, and lo a , few moments moro a number of his com ? rades had joined the breve man in bi* , self-imposed task. When it was accOm ; pl Unod aU returned to their own lines, i and the battle was renewed. i The sequel is a sad one. The same > courageous spirit prompted the brave i follow to attempt a Uko effort in the bat i tie of the Wilderness a little later, and > ho was shot down In his tracks and in Atantly killed, almost at the outset of h? ? attempt, with ?ho canteens yot in bb hands. I am informed thai ?o effort will be made to have a pension bestowed by the United States government noon bis belptesa widow and orphans, and it is not anticipated that much objection will be made. Surely none should bo mado. The Blue Uld?re^tullroa4-Hopes of Ita Completion* The recent activity in railroad centres looking to the establishment of through trunk tines from the West to the Atlantic seaboard, baa aroused the friends of the old Blue Ridge Railroad to the impor tance of its early completion, and with a view of securing attention to thia once popular, bot of late years neglected en* terprise, ita claim to preference is again put forth in the most earnest and confi dent manner. It is the rout? selected by the projectors of the railroad system lu South Carolina, when that system tended to the development of tho com* mercial and material interests of the State. Numeious surveys were made of all tho gaps io tbe Blue Ridge mountains which lie accessible to lines of railroad crossing these mountains from this State, and after mature deliberation it was se* lected na the best and most desirable line to the West, both in its bearing upon the commerce of Charleston and its in, por tnnco to tho Slate nt large. On the Blue Ridge Railroad the grado is bat seventy feet to the mile, which is lower than tho grade of any line that bas yet crossed the mountains, and fifty-six feet to the miles less than the grade with which the Baltimore and Ohio road paseos them. This ls, of course, a very great consideration in the adoption of a route intended for freight purposes, and is ono of tho greatest advantages tho Blue Ridge line has over others. It is also a central line passing directly to Knoxville and tho West without d?pendance, thia side of Knoxville; upon any other railroad until it gets into this1 State-, where.its connection with Char leston is natural and easily controlled by tho interesta of the Greenville aud Co lumbia and the South Carolina Railroads. Its control in the interest- of Charleston possesses us cf-tho Raab un Gap, and shuts off. the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad which might in the future, prove inimical to the trade of Charleston and the material developmeut of the State The soundness of these view*, ir. gener ally admitted, and the trouble in the case is one of finance. The road is an' expensive one to build, and many have thought it easier to reach the We.it by some-other route on this account. In reply, the friends of the Blue Ridge Railroad present tbe condition of tho road as gathered from tho report of the President, Gen. Harrison, to Governor Orr in 1863, which may be briefly sum med up as follows : Whole length of road from Anderson to Knoxville 196 miles of which 52 miles Ho in South Carolina, 17 in Georgia, 73 in North Cardion, and 64 in Tennessee. In South Carolina there was originally 3.749,423 cubic yarck of gradinr, to be done, of whicli 80 per cent, is finished, leaving only 762,628 to be done. There was 78,718 arabic yards of tunneling, of which 66 per cent, ia finished, leaving 25.680 to bo done. There was 28,490 nubio yards of bridging and masonry, of which 74 per. cent, in done, leaving 7,334 cubic yards. In ?quaro drains and culverts there was 10,471 cubio yards, of which 84 per cent, is done, leaving 1,570 cubio yards. In Georgia there was 1,362,643 cubic yards, of grading, of which 45 per cent, is done, leaving 747,352. In tunnelling there was 44,f?S9 cubic yards, of which 15 per cent, was done, leaving 37.667 cubic yards, of which, however, about three-quarters was finished in 1870 ; so that, perhaps, not more than 9,500 entire yards remain to be done, in bridge and arch mason ry there waa 7,847 cubic yards, of which 46 per cent, is done, leaving 8,970 cubic yards. In square drains and culverts there was 15,326 cubic yards of which 75 per cent, is done, leaving 8,795 cubio yards. In Tennessee there was 1,812,373 cubic ?'ania, of which 30 per. cent, is done, eaving 1,257,591 cubic yards. In tun nelling there is 1,045 cubic yards yet to be done. In bridge and arch masonry 5v per cont, has been done, leaving 7,744 cubic yards. In square drains and culverts 48 per cent, noa been done, leav ing 6,844 cubic yards. In North Carolina no work has been done, leaving 2,146,262 cubic yards cf grading, 24,496 cubic yards cf tunnelling, 12,661 cubio yards of bridge aud arch masonry, ana 11,068 cubic yards of square drains and culverts. Since thia report was made, a new line marked out for the road avoids tho tun nel in this State, ?nd passes tho mountain ? with a short out of fifty feet, so that the 1 charge for tunnelling in South Carolina should bo withdrawn. The new survey makes numerous improvements upon tho line and greatly decreases the cost of its complcUon, zo that tho friends of tho road calculate that by this survey it eau easily be built through to Knoxville at a cost of two or two and a hall* million dollars, at tho most liberal calculation. In order to put the road in shape for completion and secure the necessary means, tho Letrjalaturo will be called upon to give certain rights and Immuni ties to any" person or persons who will complete it within a definite period, and some of the Counties along the line pro pose to mako liberal corporate subscrip tions to effect this purpose. The object is a worthy one, and the Legislature should not hesitate to .grant euch privi leges aa may bo reasonable to advance the construction of ? direct, feasible and greatly desirable Western connection, ?.Wob wi!! gi"0 to Charleston tbs ."^van tages her position' as a port entitles her to, and thereby reflect its benefits upon every portion of the State, Thirty-three miles of the Blue Ridge Railroad ar? already running in this etat?, and twen ty in the State of Tennessee. The work which bas been done upon the lino io of tho most permanent and thorough de scription, and will last for many years to como evcn>*-without being completed. The road runs through a country rich in mineral resources; and will, certainly do an immense business in freights in both directions vrLeia built. Taking every thing into consideration, this enterprise is worthy of serious consideration. We hope a satisfactory bill will be presented and passed at the next session of the Legislature, and that the work of con ftructing tho Blue Ridge Railroad will be resumed very soon, and rapidly car ried to co uplotion.-Charleston Newt and Courier. ' There waa an error in thc statistical statement concerning the Blue Ridge i Railroad published yesterday. The tun nelling which is avoided by tho new and i essy line is the War Woman tunnel in North Carolina, not tho tunnels in South i Carolina. No tunnelling in North Caro lina will bo required. The Stump-House i tunnel.in South Carolina could be avoid* i ed, but in HO doing the grades would bo ' made injuriously heavy.-Newt and Cou I tier, 33af January. i - Five hundred millions of dollars II have been paid since the war in pensions. A MASONIC SENSATION. Emblema of the ."raft Found Beneath atn Obelisk In Egy-it. Great Interest has been excited in Ma sohle circles by reports from Egypt that Masonic emblems have been found under the pedestal of Cleopatra's Needle, which is tb be brought to this country, A dis patch from Licuteoaiit-CommAnddr Gor? ringo of the United States Navy says : **Immediately ' trader tho pedestal of the obelisk, and In the cast anglo formed by thu steps, I found a block of bc wu syenite granite,'forty inches in the cube, representing a perfect Masonic altar. Under this and immediately below I found a white marble slab, representing tho apron, extending across tho founda tion of polished Syenite granite, ono hun dred and twp inches long and fifty-one inches broad and twenty-five hud a half inches thick, tho upper half hew n into fl perfect square. At tho same lovel nod touching the short section of tho equine and in tho weat angle of the foundation I found another block of syenite granite markedly regular in form, the surface ol which represented rough ashlar step! and the foundation o? whicli waa com {>osed of white granite. Beside these our pieces I found other loss noticeable and important but equally significant cmblemo." Many Masons accept this os proving tho great age of the Masonic society Ex-fopeaker Husted, of New York, a Mason of high rank, is somewhat skepti cal, saying : "I am iroc to say that.I do not behove tho emblema hr ve any direct counectior with operativo Masonry as it Is practicet at the present day. That the discoveries are wonderful and valuable Is certain They will start up all tho archaeologist! and givo new impetus to fraternity writers.. Anything that concerns crypt ology is interesting to mo, but I have no ?ct been able to discover any conhectioi etwoen Egyptian cryptology and . tb modern craft. I became a Mason at th ago of twenty-one, have reached th1 thirty-third degree and havo been Gram Master of thc State. I havo made Ma conic history a study, but have neve been ablo to trace Masonry moro thai four hundred years back-not a S'.?P be youd tho Crusades. As near ss i cai judge it had its origin on the Cominee of Europe, with tho builders of the gre!

Every thing in that day partook of the religiot element, uud consequently religion et tered largely into the organization of tl guild. Ibo belief in God was insiste upon-one God--which was bro? enough to admit tho Jew as well cs tl Christian. But I fail to find anything < the religious element which neccssaril betokens great antiquity. King Sol?me is recognized because the temple at Jeri salem was tho oldest building of whir, wo have any certain account. This natural. Tho Bible gives many ?nteres ing details of tho tomple, and those wi felt an interest in the'order incorpor?t theso details with the working history the Order." Masonic Emblema in Egyptian Kains. [Washington Special to N. Y. Herald.] Major Benjamin Pori ey Peere, who a Scottish Bite Mason ot tho thirty-thi degree, said that ho was not surprised ! the announcement from Lieutenant Coi mander Gorringo that he had found o shrined beneath the Alexandria obeli Masonic emblems. ' The major stat that- some thirty-five years ago, when young man, be visited Egypt twico, a that no found on tho ruins of the temp! and the tombs' on the banks "f the N abundant evidences of the existence ol oociety-evidently a Beeret 3ociety--whl used emblems similar to many of tlx now used by the "brethren of the mys tie." This society superintended 1 erection of the pyramids and other s pendous piles of masoury, some of whi were built step by step as tho head of I Order progressed in bis acquisition of 1 mysteries of tho Order, and after death it became his burial place. Mo Poore narrated his visit tc a oubterrom place of interment in Egypt, which \ piled up.to tho ceiling with sarcophi on each ono of which was portrayed embalmed inmate's name, with the i plements of bis trade or. tho symbols his profession. At last he came to \ on which was painted a male figure ab ten inches in height, standing in the sition and making the sign now a port *>f tho ceremonial of oue of tho degree tho Scottbh Rite and wearing his jei Around aro grouped many of the syml now used in speculative Masonry, im ding the all-seeing oyo, tho square, guage divided lato the parts, tho ga the rough and perfect ashlars and plumb. These might havo denot? practical Mason, but. they aro ia mingled with small pictures of figi represented as giving signs recognizi by tho craft, and tho jowol, which found on tho breast of tho embalmed cupant of tho sarcophagus, was a si bronze figuro of Silence, with a finget its lips. It was at that time again?! edict of tho Paean io remove any anti tics from Egypt without having first tained a firman, which could only gotten by an expenditure of timo money. "So," said Maj. Poore, "I to content myself with cutting o(T portion of tho sarcophagus ou w thean Rvmbola and tho fiiruro bad 1 painted*. That with the jewel and frlght hand' of thc embalmed mumu brought home, aud they aro now ot residence in Massachusetts. Theso, other symbols from Egypt, havo beoi aminoa by hundreds ot American Masons, who have recognized thee identical with thc J used by the frat ty here at tho present day." HYSTERIES HANDED DOWN ALONG AGES. When asked whether ho regarde* Freemasonry of to-day as lineally scended from tho Egyptian Order, a Pooro replied: "I am not pre?an assert that it was, but I amconfiaont some of the mysteries of that Order, their symbole and emblems, have preserved through centuries, some! under one form and cometimos un.\ other, until we now have them ii Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. Th< 'A mystic tio which binds* the 1 ph an td of ancient Egypt, the esset Asia Minor, tho stoics of Greece, tb son builders of old Germany and speculative Freo Masons of the pr timo. I hope that thc discovery of tenant Commander Gorringe may l npon the subject what all good (rec sons need-'fight.' " A number of prominent Masoni visited with the view of getting opinion upon tho merits of Comm Gorringe'a discovery, but they al dined to ?ay anything until ib^v better infotmed of the real eborac tho emblems brought to light at Al drift. It was a tradition among M that tb? order bad its origin Tn I but that the craft bad already bec posed upon by tibe claims of many who in their neal bad been misled. Masoury bad nothing.to gain by the pretouB?on, and if the relics exhumed by the remoral of the obelisk wtre valuable then they would be examined by those skilled in research and history aud their value properly estimated. It was regarded as somewhat strange that a Uko discovery wiu not made when the obelisk waa re moved by the British engineers. In ex planation, however, one member of tho order remarked that English engineers were not so inquisitive as the Americans, aud .bat Commander Oorringe had probably gone deeper in his work than tbe English officials had. rm. MACKEY'B VIEWS. . There is in Washington ono of the most eminent among the Freo Masons of the world, a gentleman whoso scholarly rUtaiomenta and erudition have given bis work a prominence equal to that en joyed by thoss of tho highest Free Mn: sons of the world, Dr. Albert Q. Mackey, who ls in appearance a very patriarch, Dr. Mackey is the Secretary-General of tho Scottish Rites, and Past Oe ne*, al Grand High Priest of tho United States. Ho is the author of tbe Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and its kindred science*., as weil ar many other works upon Free masonry of a standard character. After considerable dis?ussicn about the nature of the telegram, and taking into consid eration that Lieut. Gorrlnge is a young man, and, ii a Mason, not ns far ad vanced as como of the brethren of tbe craft, he expressed his doubts whether the relics discovered by 'Lieut-Cora. Gorrlnge, in tho pedestal of the Alexan-' drian obelisk, were,'in the generally un derstood sense of the word, Masonic em blems, as he does not trace Freemasonry of the present time to Egypt or as exist ing when thoso obelisks were erected. He thinks it possible that the emblems have beon deposited there by the Egypt ian priests, and as tho Egyptian myste ries over which they presided aro well known to have eomo assemblanco iu their 'secret doctrines to thoso taught by the Free Masons of the present day, theso might be, and piobabiy were, symbols common to both institutions. This is the only theory Dr. Mackey in tho presoul carly nt at o of tho discovery feels prepared to venture upon. He thinks, however, that the discovery is of great interest to tho world, and especially to tho Masonic fraternity, in view of what has been written upon the subject of Egyptian Masonry by learned men, both of Eng land, France and Germany. If Lieut. Oorringe bad said that he had discovered emolsms resembling those in use by the Free Masons of .the present day Dr. Mackey naya he would only have been adding another to tho numerous instances cf the samo kind which aro to bo found in the Egyptian monuments which bave been brought to light by Champollion, Wilkinson and other Egyptologists. HIGH MA BO NB DELIGHTED. Upon the receipt of information to-day nt tho headquarters of the Order of Scot land that a naval officer of the United States had discovered relics of a Masonic character boneath the Alexandrian obe lisk, instructions were given by the head of the Order to communicate immediate ly with the head of the Masonic fraterni ty in Egypt and request bim to obtain j photographs of the emblems unearthed by the removal of tue shaft. It appear? that there is a division of opinion among Srominont members' of the Masonic rder as to the origin of Freemasonry some maintaining that lt is descended from tho seat of ancien' civilization, while others are content to recognize its origin in the Middle Ages. Among the latter ero those who have given tho sub ject great attention and have accumu lated a large number of valuable works bearing upon all the points in contro versy. The advocates of tho theory of the ancient order of Mrsonry are delight ed with the announcement that our gov ernment bas received, as it wore, ol?'ci al information of tho existence of Masonry among tho Romans. FOREWARNED, FOREARMED. - The Democrats of South Carolina nrn foolish 1 if they expect to --ai ry the State this fall j without a severe struggle. It would bo easy to dispose of the State and local contesta, but for tbs impending national j struggle which promises to bo tho mont momentous for years. Either Kew York and Indiana, or New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, with tho Solid South, | will elect tho Democratic President. These Northern States are doubtful and tho result cannot be foretold.. But the South muet be solidly Democratic to en sure Democratic success. Tho Republi cans, io. addition to tho fight in the ' North, will choose ono or more of the Southern States as a battle-field; and in 1 their opinion, Sooth Carolina offers the most promising chance of success. Bo I foro many months the Radical hydra will begin to thrust up its heads. Corbin and ' other Radicals will map out a plan of . c?un pal?n, and county organiiatioy? will be effected. Electoral and State tickets ! will be nominated and local contests will i bo made wherever there may be a shadow i of a chance Radical speakers may be brought down from the North to canvass I the State aud rally the faithful, to tbe > support of "do publican ticket."

' Til HO WIS G DOWN TUE OLOTE. A ?Letter that Gen. Gary Cannot Afford Us Ignore, Hon. John C. Haskell, of Columbia, sou-in law of Senator Ham pto i, in tho following communication to tho Abbe viilo Medium, indulge? in some very plain language in reply to certain ?tate menta concerning Senator Hampton mado lo a correspondent of that journal by Senator Gary, of Edgefield. The chargea were simply a reiteration 'df thoso heretofore made by Senator Gary, and with which our readers aro familiar : TUE COMMUNICATION. COLUMBIA . S, C., jin. 22,1880. Tb the Editor oj'the Abbeville Medium ? ? Stn-i have seen to-day for tho first time a copy of your paper of date Jan uary 7th containing an interview between ?our correspondent "Hampden" and Gen. I. W. Gary, which is entitled "Gen, Gary again-He ?ticks to his statoment| and gives tho evidence." Now his State ments aro repetitions of tho charges made to a NeW York Herald correspondent thal "Gen. Hampton in 1876 advocated the withdrawal of the Tilden and Hendrick? electors, and that ho was not truo in blt support of their ticket." He goes furthci and sayB that by tho rule that silence ii admission Gen. Hampton stands convict ed, not having denied his second repeti tion of tho charge. Now a newspaper interview isal.vayi unsatisfactory matter to deal with, a; Gen. Gary may repudiate, explain awaj or evado in any other woy such part-o "Hampden'?" -interview as ho pieur-es hut even with that difficulty in my waj A hopo I can make my poluta clear. lat. ?s to Gen. Gary's claim, as ropro seated by tho interviewer, that Genera Hampton by Iiis silence boa admitted th< charge, I would say that Gen. Hamptot pronounced his charge to bo ''utterly an< absolutely false," ana that his answer ap plies as well to tho second, third am every ethe repetition' as it did to tb original. But that there moy bo no qucs tion.I will say that, if Gen. Gary wi! over bis own signature repeat what h has said in tho published interview o Bimply say that it i: *.:ue, namely, "tho Governor Hampton advocated the with drawal of thc Ti!lier, and Hendricks eloc tors. I will, by tho very gentlemen whos names bo gives, os his witnesses, provo hi statement falso. I will uso no other tc; timony. Out of the mouth of his ow: witnesses I will convict him of /aleehooi I will go further. I will undertake t provo that Gen. Gary did tho very thin with which bo bas falsely charged Ger Hampton. Thrrt wbon Sottlo and De,; ny, tue emiasaries of President Gran offered if Gen. Hampton's party wottl agree'? admit that tho State had goo for Hayes and Wheeler, tho Hampto Svernment should bo recognized, Goi nmpton refused the offer while Get Gary urged that lt should bc accepted. Gen. Gary has in tho interview furthc stated that Gon. Hampton sent Judo. Mackey to Hayes, in Ohio; and givi Judgo Mackey aa his authority. Now, Gen, Gary will repeat this over his ow signature, I will repeat my offer io pro\ by his own witnesses that it is false. Further in tho interview ho saye: "Bi Hampton met with tho misfortune i breaking his leg, and of'courao I cou I not Btriko bim when ho was down." L bim repeat this, and I will prove that too, is falso, and that Gen. Gary mai tho most indecent assault on Genei Hampton at tho very timo ho was thoug to be dying. Ho shall not how lay clai to a . aguanimity which ho did notsho - I tuink I have mado my points ciel and, unless Gen. Gary "adrr'ts them ! silence," I shall prove each and eve ono of tbem. I. might well atop here, but I shall n< a few words on Gen. Gary himself. ] utterly misunderstands his own posit! or ho misstates it as grossly as no dc thai of others. Ho is entirely mistak in holding that any one has stood I tweon him and the people, and kept b from his rights. Tho people always lia and always will, choose for themsoh who shall serve them. The whole trc ble has been that they would not ta Gen. Gary nt his own valuation. Th have not thought him worth the pri Whenever they want bira they will t doubtodly take him, but not before. I frankly admit that I do not thi Gen. Gary is fit for tho high placea which he hos-aspired and will give some of the reasons for my opinion 1 following facts, which, if Gen. Gary v deny, I will provo to bo true : 1st. In 1871 Gen. Gary did agreo pay "to ute hi? bat efforts to get thc T payers' Convention to endorse the wi bonded lebt of the Stale" both the hot and the fraudulent. "Picturo it, thl of it." 2d. That ho did about tho samo ti engage with the advocates of tho B Ridge Railroad "to aid in securing" approval of thc samo Convention to relinquishment by the Stato of its t mortgage on tho Bine Ridge Railroad private parties, lt is true that wi Major Warley denounced tho scheme tho Convention, and Gen. Gary was cal on io redeem his pledge, ho refused tc it, but ho took his pay all tho same. 3d. That ho was thc constant defen of McDevitt, the Radical Treasurer Edgcfinld^ and that one of tho ind merits ?gainai McDevitt was for frau lently paying to Gen. Gary a large ? of county money. 4th. That in 1876 after ho bad b defeated for the United States Sonate Gen. Rutter ho did advocate that C Butler should bo withdrawn, and t Whittcmoro (who had been expelled the Radical Oonirre?5 for bribe*t?.ki p'at in his place. I have long Luuwu these facts, Lat ti not cared to use thora, And do so now < to convince Gen. Gary that he cat with impunity indulge in abuse of tl who havo never injured him excep too clearly seeing tho ass's cars, under lion's skin. I have addressed this communies to your paper because it circulated charges. It is only justice that it sb carry the denial to toe same andiene That there may be no misappreheni I will add that General Hampton ki nothing of this communication, Ger Gary, w: ii his usual taste, having ti the hut assault while he was absei Mir ?wippi at the death-bed of his 1 am, slr, your obedient servant, JOHN C.
