"Hear the Mellow Wedding Hells Golden Dells 1" The Ariel and Courier has had the pleasure in several recent issues lo direct alten lion to the great progress of South Carolina in various Important depart ments of industry. The advances mado in agriculture and in manufactures have been demonstrated and tho State has received thc praise it fairly won. There bas been reserved, however, for more abundant confirmation, an exhibit of progress equally gratifying in another direction. Confirmation has now been fully had and the Netot and Courier fectl itates itself upon giving to the world the whining facts of its discovery. Simply stated it in this: Tho number of mar riages among tho white population of South Carolina during the months of November, December aud January, 1882-3, have according to our careful estimate, exceeded the number for the corresponding months of 1881-2 by 107 per cent. The readers of the Weekly News may have observed during the last few weeks the steadily augmenting number of South Carolina nuptials recorded in that jour nal. It bas certainly beeu noticed by the unmarried member of tho News and Courier slai" whose tantalizing duty it haa been to collate hymeneal happenings for the Weekly News. Observations of their increase was forced upon him by the abnormal condition of many State exchange?, in which the list of marriages crowded out other local news and in which the editorial columns were occu pied with "felicitations" to "happy couples" and remarks upon the scarcity of houses to rout, instead of the familiar patent medicine puff;.. Discovery led to research and research begat confirma tion. Our statistics of marriages in the State are of course liable to modification by tbe official tabulation of the census, but we will hold until otherwise persuaded that the number of weddings in South Carolina bas increased in a ratio far greater than the yield of corn and oat crops and the augmentation of manufac turing establishments. And, as the mar riages pile up their glowing records, we find that the untenanted bouses iu the State correspondingly shrink in nu m bera. As regards the priority of the various counties in this matter wo should con clude that Anderson, Abbeville. York and Marion are in the forefront ot mari tal progress, with Oconee. Lancaster, Lexington and a dozen other counties close seconds in the race. The Pee Dee section, we are gratified to stale, shows a really surprising increase, which ia prob bly greater than that of any other quar ter of South Carolina. Returns Irom several counties-noticeably Horry, Clarendon and Beaufort -arc quite in complete ; but we have no reason to judge that the epidemic bas overlooked them, and must attribute their apparent backwardness to the impossibility of finding space in the local papers for all of the announcements. Supplements to tbe journals of those counties will, we are sure, be soon issued to catch up with the accumulated sweetness of these de layed advertisements. A significant feature of the situation is the fact that in Oconee, Greenville and other counties of the Piedmont region the local supply of preachers bas proven entirely inadequate to the demand of matrimonial solemniza tion, aa is shewn by the calling in of trial justices to assist, to the extent of say 29 per cent. Taken ia connection with the large emigration of negroes from various counties, these facta afford plausible reason for the expectation that in a very few years South Carolina will have a comfortable white majority. And there ia no broader sign of prosperity in the old State than this widespread invest ment in marriage, for it shows that tho young men Kiel themselves wealthy enough to support wives, and that the delicate sense of the yoong women bis coincided, coyly but heartily, in thia con clusion. It tells of good crops and good j salaries, and expresses a confidence in the future of the State which could in no other way be so eloquently expressed. , The News and Courier wishes these many ; new South Carolina couples abundant snccess, and it commends their example I to the jealous admiration of adjoining States. x o, i OOO. THE SCOUT'S STOB Y. Bllrring liictdenta In the Ufa or n Ctmfad orulo Trooper-A Narrow Kaeape-A .Ijr'a SiirfMaafnl Hu**, Hg Private IV. .1. Ancrum, of thc Second Siuth Varoiina Luntlrjt, Having been urged by friend? to cbn tribute to your "Tales of the War," I give- the following reminiscences ol* Home of my experiences ns a scout, it ta?k which entails upon the writer peculiar difficulties, as there was a strong preju dice against this brauch of service of the Confederate soldier, a prejudice founded, I suppose, upon tho belief that tho life of a scout was oui} sought as a means of shirking duty. I also labor under the difficulty of having forgotten the names of most of the citizens with whom we dealt, and from whom we got information, and of the continual use of tho ego, mci, mihi, mr stylo of writing, which is absolutely necessary, as there were sn few actors in the events which I am about to describe, in all of which I bore a part. During the winter of 1862-6:1 Hamp ton's brigado of cavalry was in camp III Culpeper County, Va. Scouting partiea v.-ci continually sent out by the different brigade and regimental commitodera, not so much for tho purpose of gaining in formation os to harass thc enemy by cap turing stragglers Inside their lines, break ing up their picket posts, and remount ing our men with the captured horses. in the early part of June, 1863, Col. M. C. Butler, of the Second South Car olina Cavalry, detailed James K. Dulin. a nativo of Fauquler County. Va., and myself, both of the Boykin Rangers, to carry three dismounted men of our regi ment through the lines and capture horses for them. TUB AHM Y OK THE POTOMAC was then encamped on Stafford Heights, opposite Frederickshttrg, with pickets along tho RappahamincK River to and above the bridge of thc Orange and Alexandria Hailrvad. Crossing tuc riv er above them at Waterloo Mills, we rode around Warrenton until we carno near the railroad between Cation's anti Bristow Stations, where wo usually left our horses in a thicket, about two miles from tho railroad, in the care of a strong friend of our cause. To cross tho rail road required much caution, as besides irregular parties the enemy had regular patrols, which left each station every naif hour und rodo to the noxt, so that they were passing every few minutes. Succeeding after several attempts, wo commenced our tramp about dark to a place near Morristown, a village at tho intersection of tho main road from Frod ericksburg to Benlton Station, on the Orango and Alexandria Railroad, and tho road crossing the Rappahannock at Eilis's Mills, where thcro was usually nn encampment of the enemy, and being far within their lines there was little dil ficully in picking up stragglers. To avoid their scouting parties and any new picket posts wo made BIOW limo and ar rived at our point of ambuscade only a short time before daylight. Dulin aud I went to the road to reconnoitre, but see ing nothing wo sat down to wait for light, ile, becoming tired, walked out into the road, and I, lo keep the musquiloes from troubling me, tied my handkerchief around my oars, mid trusting to his being on the lookout soon fell asleen, and was only aroused by the splash of horses' feet in the branch near which I was lying, and without raising my hoad I discov ered that 1 was within twenty feet of eighteen of the enemy, who were water ing their horses. I concluded not to move, hoping they would pass without seeing me, which they all did, except tho lost two, ono of whom cried out: "Cap tain, lhere is a man yonder!" Before they could unsling their carbines I was well in the intricate thicket of pine and cedar on tho edge of which I hud been lying, und was not pursued far, accord ing to tho usual custom of tho onemy, who would not venturo into tho woods after our fugitivo scouts. I Boon met Dulin to bo well laughed at for the speed I was making', and to bo told that ho had been almost caught in the same predicament, and did not have time to warn mc. We made our way to a field on the road whare ?vc could better observe the movements of tho enemy, knowing that our plans wero spoiled at least for a time. We had scarcely taken our positions when we saw one of them Salloping across the field on an old road irectly to whoro we were. We took to tho trees, and he soon found his fate, for thc first intimation ho had of our pres ence was Dulin's band on bis bridle rein. He proved to be an orderly sergeant of tho Second Pennsylvania cavalry, and he told us he had been detailed to post pick ets during the passing of bis command, our presence haviug been reported to the brigade commander. Carrying him back into the woods, we left him in charge of our dismounted contingent and returned to our posts. There waa a largo force of cavalry passing all day, but the alarm of the morning prevented any straggling. Late in the evening we returned to our fiosts of the carly morning, and had not on? to wait before we saw two stragglers coming up. We took them in without trouble, and one of them proved to be an orderly of Col. Sir Percy Wyndham, of tho-New Jersey Regiment of Cavalry, with tho mail of the Colonel. Having now accomplished Col. Butler's orders we concluded that it was best to notify Gen. J. E. B. Stuart of the move ments of the enemy, and making a forced march to where we bad left our horses, I rode on and reported to Gen. Stuart, giving him, I believe, the first intimation of the massing of THE ENKUY'8 CAVALRY at Rappahannock Bridge, which resulted in the cavalry engagement at Brandy Station a short time afterwards. After making our report, aud telling the Gen eral how we happened to nave been across the river, ho astonished me by asking bow I would like to havo a regu lar detail to scout for him, which resul ted in an order ''to all pickets and guards of the cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia to allow W. A. Ancrum and J. B. Dulin to pass, they being on special duty for tho general commanding." Thia was a consummation beyond my utmost hopes, for the details of camp life were particularly irksome to mo, os they were to most of the Confederate soldiers, who, though willing to fight, were very restive uuder the restraints of discipline. Returning to the field of my new duty, I met Bill Mickler, the commander of Hampton's ?couta, and Tom Butler, a brother of Col. Butler, afterwarda killed at Gettysburg, who weie taking their last trip across thc river, all of their men having been ordered to return to their commands. Leaving our horses at the same place, we crossed the railroad and made for a rendezvous, a neighborhood of staunch Confederates, where we ar rived about 10 o'clock p. m. Dividing, Butler aud I went to our house and found ; that a large party of the enemy had just searched it, and bad left for that to which Mickler had gone. Double quickiog across the fields, a distance of three . quarters of a mile, lo warn him, we stop I ped for a moment at the well to get some ' water, and in drawing it my only pistol fell into the well and was lost. Our do VOLUM liberations were cut ?hort by our being Imlted, i.nd the accent of tho customary "Who f?oes there ?" at once told UH they j were no friends. Wo posted ourselves behind a fence, and they were behind a barn about twenty steps away. Finch party now tried to entice the oilier for ward, but neither responded, and we were now too poorly armed lo make tho at tempt of capturing them, ami both sides concluded about thc same time to with draw -a lucky thing for in- ns we after wards learned lhere were teven of them, and my scabbard, which I was using as & dummy pistol, would not have proved a very effective weapon against such odds. Hoping against hope for the safety of Milkier, wo carefully advanced ti? tho house, and got lhere only in time to see him break out of the front ?loor and sturt like a scared buck for tho woods. We soon made him recognize ns, howev er, and lie gave his experience, which was rather startling. A LADY'S RUCt'KKSFtfl. RUSE. He lind been surrounded in the bouso and only escaped capture through the in (Tenuity ami coolness of threo ladies. One of these, delaying thc Yankees at the door, the other "two tonk Mickler in to n bedroom, and making him get be tween tho mattresses, ono of them laid on the bcd, shamming a desperate enso of illness. After searching the rest of the house ttvo officers of the searching party forced themselves Into the room against the protests of the other sisters, who begged them earnestly not to dis turb the dying inmate of the chamber. They persisted, however, and searched all the room except tho bed. uno of them, however, giving the pretended patient a severe fright by approaching and feeling her pulse, which was no doubt beating at a Ililli rate, rapid enough to verify tho sage remark from him that it was "very high" They then left, affirming that they knew tho mnn was hid somewhere in the house, as they had seen him go in. Who, among tho Confederate scouts, does not remember most kindly tho at tentions of "Pap" and his three daugh ters whoso names I must confess to have forgotten ? We now went to sotno woods about three hundred yards from the house, where we had stored a supply of blank ets. Awaking nbout daylight, after n gooil night's rest, we soon saw two of tho girls coming to us, tn consult about our breakfast, Mickler having told them where to lind us. Wo wero discussing whether il was safer to go to thc house, or to have obr meals brought to us, and laughing henrlily tiver our adventures of the night before, when one of the girls looking un, saw n skirmish lino of tho enemy, about one hundred yards from us. Not needing thc appeals of "Hun, boys, Run !" we linnie for the other side of tho woods, only to find, after several attempts to get out, that tho enemy had surrounded us und wero coming through in skirmish line. What to do with our selves was now ibo all-important ques tion? HOW A BC'OUT fcCAI.KII A TABB. A hurried consultation resulted in each of UH taking a different tree ns the only means of escape. I resorted to u large hickory, which I never could have mounted under ordinary circumstances, but which 1 managed to scale now, with not only ease to myself, bul with won derful agility. What the cogitations of my comrades were 1 cannot with certain ly tell, but surmise that they were like my own, of tho gloomiest description ; for wc knew that the enemy had killed severul scouts in cold blood shortly bo fore, one of these being a sixteen-year old brother of Dulin, and they had threatened not to take any of us alivo. The idea of being shot, as I firmly be lievo that I would have boen if discov ered, and of dying like a wounded squir rel, through a fall from my lofty perch, made nie think very seriously of thc past, present and future. I romomber its viv idly ns though it all had happened only yesterday, how my mind kept reverting to the sentiment expressed in two lines of a song I had heard a few duya before. Perhaps the ardent wish that I was safo and sound under tho parental roof, at a respectful distance from my present dire extremity, made them seem altogether uppFOpriaio to thc present occasion ; "Hurle wan], io rn back Ward, int Time, ?ii iiiv i?iu'ui: Muku nm u i-lilld turalu, J tut fur tu-ulght." After passing around aud about us and keeping un in suspense for sotno time they finally left, to our great relief, and rode in tho direction of au adjoining wood, from which we noon heard rapid firing, aud knew that they bad started some of our boys from un ambulance which we had captured und hid in the woods as u sleeping place. A NARROW E8CAPE. Wo afterwardn found that they had started Dulin nnd would have captured him bad not Cedar Creek been near, by crossing which he escaped them hatless and shoeless. After several hours we de scended from our roosts, only to soe tho enemy returning, and had to climb up again, this time all of us in the same tree, where we stsid until evening. The pangs of hunger were now very urgent, as we had not eaten anything in over thirty hours. . Thinking it safer not to go tn tho house of any of our friends, it fell to my lot to go for provisions to tho house of a strong Union man, a New Jersey settler. At this house, I will now mention, Mickler lind his leg broken, and Calhoun Spark:,, our color sergeant, was billed the following winier, in an attempt to capture some of the enemy. Obtain ing tho needed provisions, I returned to my comrades, and after supplying our immediate wants, we concluded to leave tho woods and rest for thc night in a sassafrac thicket on a ditch bank in a large field. This was a wise precaution, as the enemy wero out in full force the next day, driving through the woods. Two of them in gray uniform rode quito near us in a sweeping canter and we took them for two brothers of the Dlack Horse Cavalry, but thinking that they were fiursued, and if we hatted them, our hid ng place would bo discovered, wo al lowed them to pass. Wo afterwards learned that they went to a house near by, shot its owner, and robbed bim. Thinking that a change of quarters was now advisable we started that night for "Old Ron-," a good friend, nbout eight miles north, and nbout four miles northeast of Manassas station, where we rested in clover for several days, at tho end of which time we parted. Theso aro some of many pdventures of a similar kind wbich show that THE LIFE OF A SCOUT was full of vicissitudes and dangers, al though the excitement of it was thoroughly captivating. That the scouts of the Second South Carolina Cavalry were good and true men I know, from my always having felt, when with one of them, that the touch of his elbow was a guarantee that I had a neighbor who could be depended on, happen what might Of the score whom I can now recall, nearly every one bore upon his body the scar of the enemy's bullet, ! either wounded while scouting or bat-1 I tiing with his command; and ever/ oue ? has to his credit from several to scores of j prisoner* captured by him, and most of j ' them from one to several of the enemy E XVIII.-NO. yo. killed by bim in combat.-Mickler killed, Hill M ?ck 1er wounded, Tons lint ier killed. Calhoun Spark? wounded and afterwards killed, Gillespie Thornwoll wounded and died, Williams killed, Dulin killed, Lamar Starke wounded and captured and wounded a second time, Hogan wounded. Scott wounded, Shiver wounded and captured: in fact nearly every one of tho original scouting party of that command was cither killfd, wounded or captured at soino period of tho war. It was my own fato to bo captured and imprisoned at Washington, shortly after the last adventure, while scouting near Warren ton, during tho earlier move* menta nf the Gettysburg campaign. On Jurie 13,1803, having made n report to Gen. Stuart, i was ordered to recross the Itappahanttock Uiver at once to watch any movement of tho enemy and to keep him unsted. I crossed the river a short ume before sunset, and after riding to the left of Warrenton after dark, rodo into a party of tho enemy who had been advanced that day, and being surround ed, was compelled to surrender. On ho ing asked by them, "To what commnnd do you belong?" I replied, "To tho Second South Carolina Cavalry." Thc words were no sooner spoken than I was surrounded by a crowd who seemed to be cager to dispatch mc then and there, lo judge from the vehemence with which they cried. "iCill THE t>-1> BU8IIWACKIKU HCOUNDREL, for thal is all that d -d regiment is fit for!" As desperate as my situation seemed, I still resolved to make an effort to save my life, and begged them to de sist from doing mo any violence until they carried me before a light and had observed my extremo youth, assuring them that they would be convinced that such a mere boy ns I was w ould not bo entrusted with such dangerous missions. I will lier? say, that although in reality twenty years old, I looked several years younger ; a fact of which, heretofore, I lind oeen very ronscious and much ashamed, but which now was of infinite service. After observing mo closely, some of them seemed to waver a little in their opinion, and nsked mo "What I was do ing there?" Kmboldencd by the success of my first ruse, I waa ready with the ro ply "That I was going to visit my undo" -an imaginary individual, whom I thought best to locate away . ff in tba mountains. Hy vigorously assorting these fictions I managed to divide tho sentiment of the party sufficiently to save myself, though there wns still a mi nority who iiiHibted that I was a bush whacker deserving death, which opinion they interlarded with the mont blood curdling oaths. I was, of course, in tensely thankful for my escapo from death, and congratulated myself still more when I ictirned that tho party by whom I was captured was a part of thc Sib Illinois Itegimeut by whom young Dulin, of my compnny, had been mur dered not long before. I was then sent to the provost guard at C'allett's Station, and, after being carried around with their army for a week, was Bent to the Old Capitol Prison at Washington, whence I was fortunate enough to be mien a week later and exchanged nt City Point, ar riving at Petersburg on the morniug of the 3Ulh of June. After my exchange I was again detailed by Gen. Stuart, and in a skirmish while with my command wsH slightly wouuded. Hoad Kegul .ions. If it is true that the condition of tho Iiublic roads of any country may be ta ten ns fair index to the civilization of that country, we aro in a sorry plight. 'Ibero is not a decent road in the County ; and for tho last month couuty travel, w here it has not been altogether inter rupted, has been nu inconvenience to the public und downright cruelty to mules and horses. Tho present system of road working has kept our public highways in juRt good enough condition to bo sat isfactory to nobody in creation ; and to doviso a better system seems to require a higher order of wisdom than the average legislator has displayed. The Bubject of rond working is at once troubled aud un cnt uvnti.iti ?* thc best tot which the peo ple are prepared. At ail events, until pome one distinguishes himself by de 7?H?ng wise road laws, wo uhould demand a better en 'nrcement of the law already existing. In the campaign that led to our pri mary election last summer, certain can didates succeeded in persuading tho peo ple, that the duty of the (?buuty Com missioners is merely to appoint superin tendents of highways ; and that when they have dono this, they are freo from all further responsibility, so far as the roads are coucerned. This was a now and Htrnnge doctrine to very many good people who had been accustomed to look upon the County Commissioners as road commissioners, and nothing but road commissioners; but it went uncontra dieted, and was accordingly accjpted as true. The people were not able to seo the justice of requiring tho superintend ents to assumo all the responsibility and do all the work, while the County Com miasioncra receivo thc pay, but they were used to lawB whoso justice they could not understand, BO they believed and eubmitted. It is not intended here to lecture the County Commissioners on the subject of their duty, for thia they are presumed to know; but it is just that the people should know what they havo a right to expect from their public- servants. While tho law authorizes the County Commissioners to appoint superioten dents nf highways, who, in their turn, aro authorized to appoint road overseers, it expressly provides that "The County Commissioners Bhall take charge of and superintend the repair of the nighways in the County ;" and that "The Superin dent shall have general supervision of tho highway? and roads in his district, under the direction of the County Com missioners." This law, which is too plain to be misunderstood, places the re sponsibility where it properly belongs, upon the County Commissioners ; and the responsibility cannot be shifted to the superintendents. Overseers and superintendents havo their duties, and they should be held to a faithful dischargo of those duties-alwaya under the direction of the County Commission ers. It may be true that bad weather makes bad roads, but it must be admitted that a little more time and a little more attention devoted to our roads in tho summer would make them tolerable if not satisfactory in the winter season.
