"In my Frefqteent trips through the Southern States I have ample opportuni? ty for observation, and t. am convinced that Georgia is tire greatest State in the South, Her development is wonderful and rapid, and as a Virginian lam proud of this, for the name of Georgia and of Georgians will always linger Bweetly upon the lip3 and live in the love of all the people of that dear old commonwealth, Virginia.". These were the closing words of an after dinner chat. Wo were seated in the comfortable apartments of the Com mercialclttb, and while he puffed away lovingly at a fragrant cigar, occasionally poising it between his first and middle fingers and gazing approvingly < on its accumulation of ashes. Capt. J. Rice Smith had been telling me, in that de? lightful unaffected and eloquent way of his, some of his experience ia the war. I am tempted to teil them over. again though I cannot breathe into unrespon? sive-type the glowing enthusiasm, the rich feeling, the tender emphasis, and the personal magnetism of the charming conversationalist, as he related them to me in the unrestrained freedom of a friendly chat, amimated by the soothing stimulus of an after dinner cigar. I shall not attempt to repeat all J he told me, though it was all rich in interest, but shall give only certain parts of his infor* mal talk. My first recollection of war, he said, ?I had asked him something about the war?was at the time of the -John Brown insurrection at Harper's Ferry in 1859. You know the first act of John Brown was to kill an unoffending old negro, though the object of his insurrection was to free them. John Brown had made a trip through all that section disguised as a clock peddler. He did this to secure unsuspected communication with the negroes and to lay the plans for a con? certed and unanimous insurrection against their masters when he should fire the signal volley. He had laid all his plans, and in October, 1859, with a score of men came across the Potomac river and seized the government armory at Harper's Ferry. In the firing an inoffensive old negro was the first man killed by the John Brown party. George Turner, a first cousin of my grand mother, and Beveml other citizens of the place were also killed. The excitement lihrough all that; sec-, tion of country watt intense. I lived in the adjoining county, and was -a member of the boys' volunteer military company. I was thirteen yeara old, and the oldest members of the company were not more than sixteen. Military companies har? ried to Harper's Ferry from all parts of Virginia, and we were crazy to go, bat of coarse, were not allowed to do .so. The government armory at Harper's Ferry was equipped with many stands of arms and every munition of war, and John Brown's plan was for the negroes to rise In insurrection when he seized the armo? ry and rush there for arms. He carried out his part of the program all right, bat the negroes failed to respond. His plan was to indite them to arson, rapine and murder, and arms were found scattered among them In various parts of Jefferson and adjoining counties in readiness for the great insurrection. But, with few exceptions, the negroes were then, as they were afterwards through the war, loyal to their masters, and, pardoning the digression, I am Bare they have since found that their former owners are the best friends they ever had, John Brown's party, not being joined by the uprising negroes as they expected, barricaded themselves in the engine house of the armory, a stoat building with iron doors, and doggedly defied arrest. Being on government land, they were not within the jurisdiction of the State or town authorities, bat the men who were in charge of the armory telegraphed to Washington an account of its seizure, and the United States marines were sent from there. They charged the old engine house and battered down the doors, but old John Brown fought to th 3 last, and did not surrender until Lieut: Israel M. Green, of the Marines, struck him over the head with his sword. John Brown and his confederates were turned over to the State authorities, and he and BBveral of the ringleaders were hung. I lived only twelve miles from the court house where Brown was tried. The excitement was intense, and the court house was crowded all the time. As I remember John Brown he was a plain, farmer-like old fellow, between fifty-five and sixty years old, tall, gaunt, bony and tough, with the air of a West? erner. The old engine house where he took refuge is all that remains of the government armory, and to this day. baB painted on it "John Brown's Fort." Ail this, of course, was before the war, but it gave a terrible impetus to things and caused the organization of military companies on every hand. Wheu the war began in 1861 our boys' company was disbanded and some of the oldest boys went into regular service in other com? panies. My folks wouldn't listen to the idea of my enlisting; but I got there early in 1862, when a little more than fifteen years old, and an Augusta boy was the cause of it. He had returned from the West Virginia campaign under Leo in the winter of '611, broken down, in health and unfit for service, but unwill? ing to give up. Hospitals were estab? lished ail through our section and when they were overcrowded at Winchester the convalescents were sent out into the country, Nearly every iarm house had its Boldier invalids in it. This AuguBta b oy, Jordan Bottom, was taken from the hospital to our home by my mother as soon as he was sufficient? ly convalescent to be removed. She had been very attentive to him every day in the hospital, aod was moved by his youthful appearance and plucky bearing. As he grew into strength and was aglow with the idea of returning to his command I could stand it no longer* and I advanced an argument that finally triumphed over material anxiety, and won permission for me to enlist. I said it did not look right that this boy, but little older than myself, ?hould come all the way from Georgia to defend our homes, and not be allowed to do my duty. To my boyiBh mind Georgia was a long way off, and any difference in our ageB seemed to me greatly overbalanced by the distance he bad to come. I was too young and physically too weak to carry a musket, and joined the cavalry in the Tennessee and Kentucky campaign under General Kirby Smith* My first fight was at Barnett'b ford, on the Rappahannock river. I was convinc? ed that my mother was right, and that I was loo youDg for the army. This was said laughingly in answer to a question as to how be felt in bftttle, and whether or not 'tbsVs rriS 'any feeling of individuality, or whether it was the excited work of an army in which the soldier forgot self and fought only as a component part of the wbofc. He continued \ t have stood in line fighting when I was so scared I didn't know my head from a hole in the ground. Every soldier is impressed with a sense of duty and of personal pride. He wants to stand hp just as long as his comrades do, and to show up as well as any man in the company. I was so badly frightened thai though I didn't lose my head or my recollection, I was convinced the world had come to an end. I didn't grow any from the time I went into the army until two years after the war was over. My experience wasj hofofcver, that after the right Wed well begun the men lost their sense of personal danger in a great degree, and became imbued with the justice of their cause, and felt that they were ready to die for their rights ; and liberty. But I was always glad1 when a battle was over. The hottest fight 1 ever was in was at Treviilion station on the Central railroad of Virginia. We had sixteen men shot: down in our company in less than fifteen minutes. Our squadron charged battery j M. of Ousters brigade and drove the men back from the glins. They fell back to a piece of timber which was fringed with a cedar thicket. Ab we charged after them we saw several com? panies of cavalry bearing down on our left flank. This checked our progress and just then a body of men who had been ordered up to support the guns had reached the cedar thicket and opened fire on us. They were not a hundred yards off?it seemed to me hardly twenty feet. Our men were mowed down by their murderous fire. All of us who were not killed or wounded left there as rapidly aB possible. My horse was killed but 1 got away safely on my hands and knees. t am satisfied that if we had bad one fourth the resources and men which the North bad at her control the South would have gained her independence. Our men yielded only to overwhelming numbers and absolute starvation. I have never apologized for anything I.did dur? ing the war, I have always believed we were right, but I am glad it ended as it did, I am glad thai slavery was abolish? ed, for I think human slavery in any form is abominable. The South is now receiving, and will eventually have great glory and prosperi? ty?and God Almighty intended for us a greater independence than that we would have gained had the war ended differently. There is nota young man in the South who should not -be truly grateful that this is his <home and that now ia his opportunity. The conversation ended with the elo? quent tribute to . Georgia, with which I b9gan. The Appointment of Webster. WAfiHiUKStON, August 5.?The ap? pointment of Eugene A. Webster to day to be the Collector of Internal Revenue for the South Carolina District was the Waterloo of the "Independent Republi? can" party of South Carolina, so called, and of its leaders and promoters in Massachusetts, L. Edwin Dudley, and the members of the Massachusetts Club. He was the candidate of the regular Repub? licans of his State, and, so far as the party can be said to be organized, had the party organization behind him. The candidate of Mr. Dudley and the Inde? pendents was first George G. Alexander, a Democratic State Senator from Ker shaw County, and a sorehead. When it was ascertained that he could not win, the Independents trotted out other can? didates, and it seemed for a time that the dark horse would win. Webster was really tbe.only Harrison man who came t:p prominently for the place. He was a delegate at the last Chicago convention, and one of the few who didn't sell out to Geh. Alger. He voted six times for the Hoosier candidate. The agents of the Massachusetts Re? publicans took only a week in South Carolina to discover what a ground swell reform movement the Independent party represented. The come-outers had never elected anybody to anything; but Mr. Dudley was satisfied that they would if they had a little Federal pap for nour? ishment. Some hundreds of dollars of Massachusetts money were sent down to support the Columbia Daily Record; the State organ of the party, and Senator Hoar and Cabot Lodge spoke for Dudley and his cause at the White House. A column and a half report was made to the Massachusetts Club, and the Republi? can papers of Boston went wild over it. W. W. Russell, a leading Independent, induced Mr. Clarkson to give him some dozen or fifteen postoffices; but gradu? ally, aB the truth came in from the local? ities most interested, the work had to be all undone. Between the regulars and indepen? dents,- Chairman Brayton of the Republi? can State Committee was in a heap of trouble. He was a Sherman man at Chi? cago, and is well known, and didn't sell out; but the supposition is that he knew that his delegates were selling out to Alger right and left. That is, no doubt, the reason why John Sherman refused even to see Brayton when he called at his K street house soon after the inaugu? ration. That was Brayton's first set back. He went down and down. First he wanted to be the head of some bureau here in the city; then he wanted to be the South Carolina District Attorney, then United States Marshal, then a Con? sul anywhere, and finally, when the "Independents" seemed to be making it hopelessly warm for Webster, be took new hope and made a break for the Internal Revenue Collectorship, his old position under President Arthur.?N, Y. Sun. ? Mr. Russel Myrick, of the firm of Myrick & Henderson, Fort Smith, Ark., says he wishes to add his testimony to the thousands which have already been given as to Swift's Specific. Ke says he derived the most signal benefit from its nse to cure painful boils and sores, resulting from impure blood. ? They are agitating in Canada the abolition of the black as mourning. ? "Swift's Specific is a great blessing to humanity," says Mr. P. E. Gordon, of 725 Broad street, Nashville, Tenn , "for it cured me of rheumatism of a very bad type, with which I had been troubled for three or four years. S. S.S. cured me after I had exhausted everything else. Au Incident of Grades Trip Bown the Savannah. After supper the crowd of sixtv five gathered around.the camp fire, told'jokes, played them .Upon one another and Dr. Carltoa and Mr. Mattes wrestled. Then the negroes to the number of twenty five were gathered under the old oak where they aang their rjuaint old river songs. Then they, sang the 'did time hymns not even heard in the older negro churches of the present day of which the favorite ran "Jesus Locked the Lion's Jaw." They were the bymns heard in ante bel? lum days and there was a peculiar pathos in their voices which aVrboBt brought tears to the eyes of their listeners. They entered into it with their whole souls and such sweet music as those old negroes made under that spreading oak with the owls hooting in the distance was perhaps never heard. Then when it grew late the oldest ne? gro in the crowd said: "Brethren, 'tis time to sleep. Let us pray." ? ? In an Instant feveryoDfe or the negroes fell upob their kpe'es and with bended heads listened to the preacher chant the Lord's prayer in that quaint negro dialect now seldom heard. In their midst was Dr. Carl ton and Mr. Grady and they too ?vere upon their knees, while the remain? der of the crowd stood arouod with bowed heads. It was the most impressive t have ever heardt and that prayer, under the bending sties, with the faint rays of the moon playing between the boughs of the tress and upon the upturned face of the old negro preacher, while the hoot of the owl and the cries of the nigbthawk blend? ed with the music of the ripp?og waters, reached the heart of Him to whom it was sent.?Sariwell Sun. The North Carolina Exodus. Raleigh, N. C, August 1.?The committee appointed by the colored emi? gration convention which met here last April to go to the West and Southwest, ex? amine the country and learn what ar? rangements can be made for the movement of Ja large body of colored people from North Carolina, expect to leave for the Southwest Sunday. The committee says that over 78,000 names of those who will move have been enrolled, and that they have agreed to be ready to start in forty eight hours after notice has been given them, provided the.commission makes a favorable report. It is said by the com? mittee that the people in the South western States have held meetings com? posed of farmers, business men and capitalists, wbo have appointed commit? tees to meet with and confer with the North Carolina commsBsioner, and to offer such inducements as will direct the tide of immigration in that direction. If the conditions are favorable and the committee shall so report, jt is thought by the committee that at least fifty thousand people will be moved next fall. Louisi? ana, Tennessee, Kansas, Arkansas, Texas and California seem to be making prepa? rations to increase their colored popula tion at -the expense of North Carolina. Exodus agent; from Kansas and Arkan? sas are expected here Saturday to accompany the commissioners from this State. A Sad Accident, Asheville, N. C, August 2.?Yester? day Mrs. Jeff Ball and her 12 year old daughter, who resided near the line in Yaocy County, came fcver to the store at.Barnesville to make some purchases, Heavy rains caused the North prong Big Ivy Creek to rise rapidly.' After the rain Mrs. Ball and her daughter started back home. A lad went with themjto the creek and aided them to get on the foot log, when be turned to leave them. He looked back just in time to see them both fall from the log into the raging waters of the creek. He ran down the creek about a quarter of a mile hoping to rescue them at a ford. When he got there, found a shawl and a package con? taining the goods purchased. Search was made further down the creek, where tbe body of the little girl was first found about a half mile below tbe crossing. Further search found tbe body of Mrs. Ball about a mile below. Both were drowned. Mrs Ball was a daughter of Burley Maney, a highly respected citizen of Yancey County. The unfortunate woman left twin babies not yet a year old. ?

The latest story of Kansas produc? tiveness comes from Ford County, where a Mr. Sternberg planted twenty acres of melons and sold tbe seeds to an Eastern seed house for $400. From the melons he manufactured 1,000 barrels of vinegar which he values at $10 per barrel. This melon vinegar he claims to be fully equul to, if not better than, the cider vinegar.
