A SKETCH OF EARLIER DAYS.
Tho following sketch, although located
In another State, reminds us so forcibly
of old times in South Carolins that we
present it to our readers, confident that
they will recognize thc picture at once.
It is copied from tho Knoxville (Tenn.)
Tribune :
The mau of ripe years perhaps nover
enjoys himself more than when he reverta
to the sccnes.iucidents and reminiscences
ofilia boyhood. Often in his soberest
and most solitary moments, a HID ile, or
eveu a fit of laughter, will overcome him
hy a recurrence to como juvenile freak
or boyish prauk perpetrated in days of
tho long past.
Fifty-five years ago the writer wa? a
lad of thirteen years, living in tho ad
joining county of good old Blount, which
was the scene of the following narrative,
which includes a hero, of couree.
At that time it contained a population
thal may bo regarded as good, for tho times
consisting largely of thehardy backwoods
man-frontiersman and Indian fighter of
an earlier period. In a word, it was a
sturdy yoemanry, embracing tho rustic
in all of its types, from tho well-bred,
well-informed, well to do farmer, grading
lo ignorance of a low degree. In such a
population the martial and heroic spirits
was naturally prominont. Indian "Strim*
ages" during tho earlier settlements, tho
battles of tho Hor8esho3, and Kmucfaw,
the campaign of tho Floradies, dineral
Jackson and the battle of Now Orleans,
wero topics of conversation at most of
tho public gatherings, social and other
wise.
Nor could such a spirit well slumber
at such a time, for the law re
quired tho entire militia, subject to duty,
to be orgauized and drilled twico a year.
We htd tho company muster,'tho batal
lion and regimental musters, recurring
spring and fall. Tho latter of these,
known as the general muster, was truly
a grand occasion, as it brought tho entire
militia of thc county to tho county seat
once a year.
Not only so, but the veteran of sterner
military scencH was wont to be out io
force ; tho lad, the hobby-hoy, a:id lasses
in their teens, whoso patriotism and de
votion to the country burned as fervently
as that of the fathers and brothers, also
graced tho occasion in goodly numbers.
The darkeys also had a respite from doily
toils, and took an airing on tho muster
fi'dd. To him 'twas not merely au occa
sion for festivity and hilarity, but in
many cases it wad made an occasion to
turn a penny and to put in his pocket
a few nine ^enco and four penco ha'ponny
pieces, i uch being current coin of tho day.
To thnt ond for'duys previous ho wa? se
lecting somo nico apples, preparing a keg
of sweet cider, or brewing from tho per
simmon A little domestic beer ; and as to
cookies, cake, gingerbread and pios ho
Inid up n good storo ; also tho chinquepin
and chestnut rango was ransacked to got
up a supply of that delectable edible that
town boy and rustic alike munch with
such' gusto. It will be understood thnt
this was anterior to the civilised eras
that introduced the peanut, alias "goober.'*
Armed and equipped as above, .Sambo
and his cart was sure to bo found in the
grand procession to the muster-field.
Furthermore, tito "goou ciaaturo,"
known in Borne localities as "over-joyful,"
but recognized under rr any aliases, and
known in tho youthful days cf thc writer,
aa "bald-face"-dubbed "Captain" per
haps by the moro polite--was an ever
present actor nt theso military displays.
Whether at that early period, and during
these gay, good times, tho Captain wats
"contraband of war" is a matter of doubt
in tho mind of the writer. But of* one
thing he is sure ; that the Captain's ser
vices were in demand, and being secured
in brown jugs, wooden canteens nnd big*
bollicd gourds, was always on tho ground
RUbject to duty. But it is fair toacknowl
"dee that ai a general thing he waa dom
iciled in out of the way stables, back sheds
and other places incog. All this may be
owing to the fact that social parties
did not wish to be disturbod in their
. privacy while greeting and caressing tho
Captain.
With preparation thus completo audy
anticipation on tiptoe, the morning of ?
genoral muster dawna bright arid promis-'
mg. The Bceno now becomes indescrib
able. Imagino that at 8 o'clock of this
beautiful morning you aee them . pouring
??t from the ?lO?U??i? coves UHU gorges
-coming up from the lowlands of the Big
rivers and little rivers, turning out from
tho creek knobs and highlands, moving
by ?he highways and by-ways in wagons
and carts, on foot and horseback, old and
young, rup lo and female, black and white
crowding in till tho street of th? village are
literallyffilled with a promiscuous crowd
containing nearly everything in the shape
of the animal homo. Wo have now in
this rather ungainly mass of human be
ings about eighteen captains ; companies
of militiamen, and perhaps a larger num
ber of meialv curious spectators. Pre
cisely at 10 o clock an orderly bawls out :
"O ! yes ; Ol yes ; all that belongs to
Capt. B's company parade here. Fall
into line!" In lesB than a minute this
hoarco bar/Hue is heard all over tho town ;
eighteen of them nre shouting the santo
thing at tho top of their voices. A per
fect bedlam of commotion onsuca; but
eventually the companies ate formed ; the
regiment in column moves to the field, a
mile away to drill. Pickets are put out
in true military ulyle. And whilo this is
going on, the surrounding fences, adjacent
hillocks and trees tro literally covered by
what might seem camp-followers, but
they were more observers of the transpi
ring panorama.
However interesting tho military evo
lutions within lines, the fcatj outsido
were none the lesa BO. Such occasions
wore looked to as a proper time for dis
playing feats of agility and manly exer
cises ; and asageneral thing, a scene in the
way of wrestling earaches, foot races,
jumping, three jumps-hop, skip and
jump hand-spring summersault, &c, took
place. Buch as would be pretty stunning
to the average boy o? the present day.
Occasionally ? real rough and tumble
"fisticuff" would come off in which the
blood ?nd fur would fly. Eat alway* uu
such happenings tho bystanders would
enforce lair play till one of tho belliger
ents would cry T,enough," then a separa
tion took place at once, and as a genoral
thing a treaty of peace was concluded on
ibo spot. Such cowardly and unmanly
conduct as resorting to those civilized de
vices of knifo and p?Btol was not thought
nt In M....,-._.? -lt? J- ?
- ?tiymv nw,, un? uajro.
Bul the hours wore away and tho regi
ment returned to the village and dismiss
ed, Now, if the reador will oxcuso the
rather tedious digression, I will turn to
my hero who of course waa a military man,
and that he performed his part of the
day's transactions, with becoming self
satisfaction and pride is not to be doub
ted.
In passing, perhaps a short history and
description of the man would ba proper.
He was born in Virginia about the be
ginning of tho present cenrj-.ry. This be- I
lng the State that produced Washington, j
Leo and Stonewall Jackson, is &. clrcum
??ance that certainly does not weigh
against him, but candor requires the ad
mission that other States have produced
bia equal in a military souse. ? He wa? a
man of humble fortune, and had a large
family before military honors were thrust
upon him ; by occupation he was a mlllor
and baa lifted m?uy Backs of flour off and
on a horeo for the writer, but, as noverty
was not considered a crime in those days,
thc?? things should not bo regarded aa a
blur upon hi? character, being, without
doubt, aa honest aa the majori
ty of millers. In manoora, he waa gruff
and austere, positive aud dictatorial.
Now this, although it at times may have
made things a little unpleasant with Pat
sy and the children, should not be a de
fect in the military man, whose preroga
tive it Is to command, aleo discipline and
obediance aro considered the chief re
quisites of the camp. In person, be wrns
MM-m-BPTOBMM- Mil ?III WW
about five feet six inches high, somewhat
inclined to be low or bench-lewed,
?bouidera broad, with a bccoruiug stoop
head large, witu shaggy eyebrow, great
breadth and s?reogth of jowl, wiiu mouth
and chin in harmony. Now this picture
may not be considered by the fastidious
and critical aa symmetrical and comely ;
but it certainly does indicate a degree of
.courage, aud- bull dog endurance rarely
excelled by military man. Again, I am
Aware that ii was thought our hero ita?
inclined to be conceited and self-impor
tant, to some extent this may have boen
.o. Hut we must reflect tnat military
honors arouse all the latent manhood of
our natures, ?nd in many cases docs
beget a conceit, somewhat blind to thc
true st atus and imperfections of the case.
This being so, some allowance must bo
made for any consequential airs that may
take pl'tce after thc sboulderstraps, b!;io
coat af J gilt buttons, and scarlet sash are
donned. It ie but a laudable military
Sride that should not bc too severely con
emnod.
Hut to return to the state of things up
on the street after the militia arc dis
missed. We find our hersjdust-covered^nd
fatigued by the duties of tho day, and
much in need of something to strengthen
the inner man and restore his wonted
spirits and vigor. His first and natural
impulse wan to call upon Capt. Haid face
and enjoy hi? genia! and exhilarating
{iresence. Ofcourso tho greetings were
learty and cordial ; salute took place, until
our boro, feeling bis strength fully re
stored and competent to any emergoncj
that might befall him, was again upon
tho streets, among loitering friends and
companions in arms, discoursing tlegantlj
and somewhat vociferously, and tho sub
tidies of military tactics on the gloriei
of military life. But in the midst of al
this, ho became conscious.nf a ?light in
disposition in the way of leg weariness
and lo give rest to his overtaxed body, hi
concluded to tako a recumbent positiot
upon tho sidewalk. Soinnui obBorvini
the attitude, gently pressed his eyelid
and eased him off into a profound slum
ber. Now it seems superfluous to stnti
in these primitive days of society befon
tho vices of civilization prevailed to ah;
great extent, that such nuisances as t
calaboose and policemen did not exist
and tiiat on such festive occasions us w
are now describing, gentlemen could tak
a little snooze on the sidewalk withou
hping molested in their repose.
Bul unfortunately forourbcro, anothc
concomitant of civilized lifo, more terri
bio at timos than a street patrol, oven II
this early day, had made a lodgement i
this moral and unusually quiet village
I allude to thc animal known as th
street Arab; they wore thoro in force
and hud an eye skinned for business.
Time woro on and tho stillness an
darkness of night prevailed in tho desei
ted streets and still our hero slumbered 01
all unconecious of lurking ill.
Fully equipped, silently and stealthil
tho Arabs made a descent upon tho pro:
Irate military genius, and ny the aid c
an oleaginous substance, commingled wit
lampblack, quickly changed his nugi':
Saxon cuticle to tho sombre hue of thu
of "a mau and brothor," and let t him i
appenranco a good type of the "America
citizens of African descent," minus th
kinky head.
Thc night was wearing away, nu
nom nun having removed the pall of slee
our hero aroused himself, and not know
ingthat he had been nhoruo of his ?der
tity, und that his Caucassiau glory ha
departed from him, he scrambled up lik
Sampson from the lap of Del iah, an
with true military stride, starts to see
more hospitable quarters at tho villnp
inn. But boing not very familiar wit
thc locality, or not yot exactly level in h
upper story, he makes a mistake and raj
vigorously at tho door of a private res
dence. The propriotor was quick to ri
spond, and opening the door, asked wdn
wn.s wanting?
"Lodging for thc night ?" was tho gru
reply.
"Who nro you.'nnyhow?" demanded tl:
proprietor.
"I ara Lieut. Jones, of Capt. Il.'s cou
pany. of tho 12tb regiment of Tennesse
militia,'* was thc supercilious answer.
Tho. moon was giving light, and tl
.proprietor being enabled thereby to tak
in tho situation, and being a man of di
humor^ujd seeing an opportunity for fu
remarked :
"Icm acquainted with Lieut. Jone
and rou aro certain Iv not tho man."
With still more hauteur than at tim
he reiterated : "I am Lieut. Jones, i
Captnin Il.'s company, of the 12th reg
ment of Tcnuessc militia."
"Somo mistake about this," says tl
firoprietor. "Wait a minute, till I get
ight."
Returning in afow minutes with a ligl
he remarked : "I felt sure you wero nt
my friend, Lieut. Jones. Be so good i
to step here to the glass, and see if yo
are."
Wi'-h full military assurance and pom
ho boldly walked up to the glass ; an?
for a moment, stood aghast ! Then sai

As to how our chieftain disposed <
himself during the remainder of the nigl
tradition is silent. But at carl
dawn the arabs were on th. alert, and dh
covered their victim at an adjacent broc
performing hilt morning abie dons; an
such animals being naturally curiou
approached os near tc the scene as safel
would permit, which enabled them I
overhear a very auidble soliloquy, whic
consisted of tomo horrid oaths aboi
"town boys," and volley after volley <
curses poured out upon tho vile stuff tbi
defiled bis person, tenaciously refusing i
be removed, with now and then an exe!;
motion of "alntthis a caution?" Wil
much rubbing and scrubbing in vain, 1
gave up the job in Beemiug despair, an
put up a rather devout petition, that Pa
?y and tho children might never leal
of his disgrace. lloro his emotional n
ture overcame him and he sank dov
and shed tears like a sprinkling pot. 1
