Augusta Chronicle, Mag 26. Owing to the burning of Gen. Lee's papers near Farmville, on the retreat of the Army of Northern Virginia from Petersburg to Appomaltox, the official reports, or the most of them, made by brigade, division and corps commanders, of the operations of their respective commands, in the campaign from the Wilderness to Pe? tersburg, were destroyed. Of the in? estimable value of these documents, could they have been preserved, it is needless to speak. The details and incidents they recorded of that mem? orable campaign would have been a priceless mine of information for the true historian of the war. Yesterday was the thirty-first anni? versary of the battle of Spottsylvania C. H. In looking over my scrap book I came across a clipping taken from the Abbeville (S. C.) Mediur.i of May 9, 1877, containing a copy of Gen. MoGowan's official report of the part taken by his brigade in the battles of the Wilderness and Spottsylvania. It was iny privilege to serve throughout the war with as brave a company of lads as ever faced an enemy on the battle field?the Carolina Light Infan? try, of Charleston, known as Company L in the 1st South Carolina regiment of McGowan's brigade. It was called the "boy company," for out of about ninety that enlisted in 1861 not more than ten were over 17 years of age. In the ancient church of St. Phillip's, in Charleston, a slab has been erected to the memory of its members who fell in defence of their native State. On this slab I, some time ago, recog? nized the names of five who were members of my own company: E. Shubrick Hayne, Alfred G. Pinckney, Nathaniel Heyward, Washington Al? ston and George C. Pinckney. The first commander of the company was the brave C?pt. C. D. Barksdale, kill? ed at the Second Manassas ; the sec? ond, the lamented Capt.. John W. Chambers, killed atHagerstown, Md.. on the retreat from Gettysburg; ana the third, Capt. William Aiken Kelly, the present city assessor of Charles? ton, who, it rejoices me to say, is as I meritorions a civilian as he was cour? ageous, loyal and generous as a sol? dier. Besides Capt. Kelly, the only surviving officer of the company is I Lieut. N. Ingraham Hasel 1, an official of the Charleston Postoffice. Of the kind of metal of which the Lieuten? ant is made, it is enough to say that he was assigned to special duty as an I office:' in Capt. Dunlop's Battalion of Sharpshooters?a body of men picked out for their unflinching courage and absolute reliability, no matter what I the danger. Old soldiers will recall I the expression and its meaning: "Boys,-we can go to sleep now, for the Sharpshooters have gone to the front." Berry Benson, an honored j citizen of this community, was also a member of that battalion. It was, I (think, at Spottsylvania, that the ad? venturous spirit of Berry impelled him to evade the vigilance of the ener j my,' pass through their picket line. I approach to where a Union officer had I his horse tied, capture the animal, re I turn in safety to tbe Confederate I lines, whence he sent the horse to Hamburg, S. C, and sold him for a good round sum in Confederate money. A second venture was not so success? ful, for instead of being the captor he I was the captured, and for a time his rambles were confined to tie limits of Point Lookout and Elmira prisons. I His daring enterprise, however, soon worked his release, for he tunneled I out, and, dressed as a civilian, worm I ed his way through Mosby's lines baok I to his command. I But of Gen. McGowan's report. It is dated September 1, 1864.?"Lines near Petersburg." Of the battle of I the Wilderness it says : "As soon as I it was light enough (morning of May I 6,) tHe enemy could be seen moving on our front, right and rear, completely enveloping us except up the plank road in the direction from which they had come. At the request of Gen. Thomas, who was to my right and j nearly cut off, I advanced my brigade to shove the enemy farther from the road and prevent him from being en? tirely surrounded. Whihit I was ad? vancing and driving the eaemy's skir? mishers I saw a brigade retiring in j haste and confusion up the road in my I rear. A moment after I saw Thomas rolling up from the right and also passing in my rear, pressed by the I enemy coming up the road. My bri? gade, fighting the enemy in front, and being thus uncovered upon the right and rear, seeing all the other troops I retiring, and themselves in danger of j being surrounded and captured, also began to roll up from the right, and I fell back a short distance in confu j sion." I It was at this juncture that Gen. I Lee rode up, and the incident occurred which gave origin to John R. Thomp? son's poem, "Lee to the Hear." Cop? ies of the poem were freely distrib? uted among the members of the Con? federate Survivors' Association at their annual meeting on the 26th of last April, and the lines are familiar to many or your readers. Of the bat? tle of Spottsylvania, which was fought seven days after that of the Wilder? ness, the report says of the terrible encounter of what has passed into history as "The Bloody Angle" : "And the Mississippians and Caro? linians?mingled together?made one of the most gallant and stubborn de? fences recorded in history. These two brigades remained there holding our line without reinforcements, food, water or rest, under a storm of balls which did not intermit one instant of time for eighteen hours." The trenches on the right of the bloody angle ran with blood, and had to be cleared of the dead bodies more than once. To give some idea of the intensity of the fire an oak tree, twen? ty inches in diameter, wbich stood just in rear of the right of the bri? gade, was cut down by the constant scaling of musket balls, and fell about 12 o'clock Thursday night, injuring by its fall several soldiers of the 1st South Carolina regiment, j This tree has for me more than a passing interest, for notwithstanding that I was an active participant in every skirmish and battle in which my company was engaged from the date of its organization up to a few months before the breaking of our lines at Petersburg, (when I was as? signed to duty in the ordnance de? partment,) the only blood I shed du? ring the whole war was drawn from me by this tree. I happened to be in the traverse, into which the top crash? ed when the tree fell, and one of the smaller limbs, giving my right ear a sharp scraping, caused a small quanti? ty of blood to flow. The day after the engagement, and while the brigade was occupying its former position in front of the village of Spottsylvania, in company with a gallant comrade and loyal friend, H. W. Crouch, now an honored citizen and successful business man of Charleston, I return? ed to the bloody angle, some two miles distant, and when within a few paces of where the fallen tree lay I picked up from the ground several feet of cotton twine, and with it we took the circumference of the tree at the point j where jt hiojtfl from the stump?about! five feet from the ground. The meas? urement showed it to be sixty-three inches. I mention this as corrobora? tive of Gen. McGowan's statement, it being more nearly correct than any other account I have ever seen. This string I still have?one of the few mementoes of the war of which I am possessed. The trunk of the tree is now in the ordnance museum at Wash? ington?the present of Gen. Nelson A. Miles, of the United StateB army, who commanded a division on the Union side in the battle of "The Bloody Angle.". I saw it there a few years ago, and at once recognized my old enemy. Gen. Badeau, in his military history of Gen. Grant, says of the battle of the Wilderness : "Men looked at their watches, thinking it must be almost night, and found it 9 o'clock in the morning." To those of us who were in "The Bloody Angle" it seemed that neither day nor night would ever end. In a conversation a few days ago with Capt. Wallace I. Delph, the com? mander of Company I, in my old reg? iment, a soldier whose conspicuous and noble devotion to duty won for him the admiration and love of all who had the honor to serve with or near him, and now a prominent merchant of this city, an incident of "The Bloody Angle" was mentioned with which both of us were more or less familiar, but neither had ever seeu in any publication. About mid-after? noon there was a lull of a few minutes in the withering fire which had been going on from an early hour in the morning. Instantly all eyes were above the works and looking at the enemy, who L; in line of battle not more than forty yards away. One of their men approached, and mounting our breastworks askea if we wished to surrender. Upon being informed that we had no such intention, but, on the contrary, had gotten the im j pression, from the truce, and his com-1 ing to us, that it was the purpose of [ his side to surrender, he said : "I I am sorry, gentlemen, but a mistake has been made. Will you permit me to return to my own lines ?" The men in the traverse whom he address? ed, seeing that he was a brave and loyal man, though an enemy and in their power, at once gave their con? sent. Raising his cap, and with a graceful bow, he sprang from the breastworks and started to where his troops lay, but before reaching them a shot was fired and the man fell. There was the murmur of "MurderJ" from several voices in the traverse, but I am glad to say that it was after? wards learned that he got back safely to his command. The shot had the effect to reopen the battle, and in the confusion it was never known to us who it was or why he fired it. Of Gen. Samuel-McGowan, our old brigade commander, I must say a word. A brave, competent and accomplished soldier, of great personal magnetism, his presence was always an inspira? tion to his men, and cheering words, as at Chancellorsville, for example : "Go in boys," "Give 'em a whoop," never failed to send them with "rebel yell" and flying feet into the enemy's lines, no matter how formidable they were. Thirty odd years ago the General was a rousing stump speaker, and a capital anecdote teller. Whenever he Tvas called away from camp for any length of time, the men would gather about headquarters and call for a speecb. Upon his return there would be a repetition of this performance. One of his best hits, which doubtless he has: long since forgotten, was in this fashion: Just prior to the open? ing of the Wilderness campaign he made a most entertaining talk, in which he said : "Now, boys, I want you to drive the Yankees from Dan to Beersheba." The Wilderness and Spottsylvania were fought. At the latter place the General was wounded and obliged to go home. When he came back the brigade was in the "Lines near Petersburg." The usual call was made upon him, to which he. responded in a very amusing strain, sayingj among other things, "Boys, you remember what I said to you some time ago,-that I wanted you to drive the Yankees from Dan to Beer? sheba. Well, you. have done that. Now I want you to drive them from Beersheba back to Dan." The General's services to his State did not end with the war. For a number of years he held the exalted office of Associate Justice of the Su? preme Court of South Carolina. B. F. Beown. Sergeant of Company L, 1st S. C.

With a pellet or two of caffein it will be an easy matter to make a pot of coffee. Pour a little boiling water over the caffein and the beverage is ready, with oil the perfect flavor and aroma of the genuine article. There will be no impurity and none of the bitter taste sometimes caused by over parching. We have been expecting this. Lie big and a distinguished French chem? ist have predicted that the time will J come when most of our food will be manufactured. I It is ftrue that artificial caffein at present costs more than coffee, but the chemists will keep on experiment? ing until they reduce the cost. At first glucove cost much more than cane sugar, but now it is sold for half its cost. Artificial indigo was once ex? pensive, but it has now almost com? pletely superseded the real article. Artificial coffee will render thou? sands of coffee plantations valueless and will throw millions out of employ? ment. The manufacture of other articles of food and drink will in future force hosts of producers and wage workers to starve or turn their atten? tion to other work, if it can be found. We cannot help this result. We must have progress if it prostrates many of our industries and kills mil? lions. If men cannot hold their own against science and invention they must go. When we reach a point where a few chemists can produce a country's food and a few machines can do its work, there will no longer be any danger of an overcrowded popula? tion. The population will disappear and a favored few will own the earth. But it is possible that many unex? pected thing's will occur to interrupt and perhaps entirely change this pro? gramme.?Atlanta Constitution. ?

Heath, who was in the Con federate 3d corps, (Gen. A. P. Hill's,) and a personal friend of Gen. Long street, was introduced by that gentle? man to our representative, and with true Southern courtesy the old gentle? man, now in his 71st year, contributed information on several pertinent ques? tions. He was asked: "General, can you recall any in? stances of peculiar bravery which came under your observation in bat? tle?" "Yes," he replied. "I think one of the most gallant thiDgs that I ever witnessed during the war was an act performed by a man now possibly for? gotten among the hosts that struggled on the fields of battle in our Southern land. Capt. Slade, who was on my staff, on the 5th of May, 1864, led a charge on foot in the midst of a per? fect hailstorm of musketry and artil? lery, and, after most heroic effort, succeeded in regaining possession of an abandoned cannon and returning with it successfully to our lines. The chances were thousands against his coming back alive, but with a courage born of desperation he was successful in his attempt. "As for acts of compassion. One of the most tender instances of mercy that ever came to my notice wa3 on the night of the battle of Sharpsburg, on the 17th of September, 1862, just after nightfall, at the conclusion of that terrible conflict, when the wound? ed of both Blue and Grey covered the battlefield, their stiffening forms rent and torn, their faces cold in death or frightfully mutilated, burning with fever, their moans piercing the night air. A Confederate officer, in looking after his own injured, found in a hol? low that had been blasted out among the rocks several Federal wounded. One had his lower jaw shot off, be? sides being terribly wounded other? wise. He asked the Confederate officer to shoot him and put him out of his misery; this the officer refused to do. The wounded soldier said: 'For God's sake give me some water.' In order to get the water the officer had to run great risk in getting through the en? emy's lines, but, taking the chances where not one man in a thousand would have run the risk, he succeeded in getting a canteen filled, and gave it to the poor man. Such instances of hu? manity and heroism are legion, and I could reiterate them almost endless? ly."?Rams Horn. The Flj'x M?>nth and Tongu*. The fly, like all other perfected works of nature, is a curiosity worthy of close examination with a good microscope. He is a little pest and a nuisance at *his time of year, to be sure, but au oddity in natural history, nevertheless. In making your pre? liminary examinations don't take the trouble to examine the whole fly, or even his wings and queer little, hollow legs, but give your undivided atten? tion to the head, and especially the mouth parts. His great compound eyes, each with its 4,000 and some odd distint facets or lenses, is, of course, a wonder of wonders, but as I have already described that curious organ of vision in this department of The Republic, I wish to here direct particular attention to his queer little, extension mouth, and its divided, leaf? like tongue. In the introductory, I have spoken of the fly's mouth and tongue as two separate organs, which is probably not, strictly speakiDg, correct. The mouth is really nothing more nor less than a tongue which, at the proper time, runs in and out of a hole in the fly's head, like the tongue of a snake. Even this latter effect may be proven to be a delusion if you are careful in examining a fly while in the act of eating, for it is then that it may be seen that the combination mouth and tongue is simply a tiny, black, thread? like proboscis which unfolds from beneath the head, where there is a little niche or socket prepared for it. "When this combination tongue and mouth is unfolded ready for business it spreads out, dividing into two flat leaves, which are planted smoothly and evenly over the surface from which the little insect hopes to extract a meal. Should the surface prove dry or unyielding, the fly is equal to the emergency, and, by a muscular feat, he immediately changes his smooth, soft, leaf-like tongue into a rasp which works with lightning rapidity over the lump of sugar or other substance, the particles thus dislodged being quickly sucked into the stomach. In case the meal is a liquid one the mouth and tongue combine to make an excellent pump for transferring the food to the place where it will do the most good. m * m ?

Of all the wonderful war stories that have been set afloat since the ter? rible days of the 60s, John Saminons, of this county, has started one of the most remarkable. Sammons is a re? sponsible man, a good farmer, who stands high among his neighbors, and whose reliability has never been brought into question. He was a brave soldier of the Con? federate army, and was one of those who participated in that bloody trag? edy on the banks of Chicamauga Creek on the 18th September, 1863. During the hottest of the engagement Sam? mons found himself in an exposed position, with shot and shell playing high revel around him, and he sought such shelter as was afforded by a large oak tree which was in direct line of fire. "While handling his piece a bul? let struck his gunstock and cut off the two first joints of the forefinger of his right hand as clean as a knife would have done it. The dismembered fin? ger dropped among the leaves, and, as he was more particular about saving the balance of his body than about rescuing as little a thing as a missing finger, he made the best of his way out of the fight, stanching his bleed? ing hand as best he could. The war was fought to a finish and Sammons came back home and went to work, charging up his maimed hand to the losses of the Confederacy. Some time ago he decided to revisit the bat? tlefield, which he had not seen in thirty-two years, nearly, and so he betook himself to Chickamauga and started to stroll over the battlefield. The tree where he stood when wound? ed occupied such a conspicuous posi? tion that he found little difficulty in locating it, with all the scars and knots on its rugged trunk caused by the flying missiles of death. Having found the tree he put himself in the, same position in which he was stand? ing when wounded, and then it oc? curred to him to look for the bones of his missing finger. Scratching around among the leaves, much to his aston? ishment he found the bones where the finger had fallen, and they correspond exactly with the finger he had lost. They had lain there undisturbed ever since that dread day, and it was with a strange feeling that he took them, and after establishing their identity to his perfect satisfaction, wrapped them up and took them away with him as a strange souvenir of his war time experiences. Mr. Sammons has them in his possession now and will pre? serve them as an evidence of the fact that he found them on the battlefield after the lapse of so many years.? (Rome Go) Cor. of the Atlanta Con? stitution. Longstre? t TV?s War Stories. Od being asked to recall an instance of martial courage Gen. LoDgstreet said : "About one of the most remarkable exhibitions of courage which ever came to my personal observation oc? curred during the Mexican war at the battle of Resaca de la Palma. I was then with Gen. Taylor, on the 9th day of May, 1846, when he ordered his dragoons, under Capt. Charlie May, to charge the enemy's batteries. Ran? dolph Ridgely, who commanded our battery, as May was about to charge, called to him : 'Hold on, Charlie, un? til I draw their fire.' I do not know any more interesting case of courage and gallantry than that of Ridgely, when he called on me to give him the privilege of drawing the fire that was ready for May upon himself. May made the charge successfully and got the batteries of the enemy, and as a result we were victorious that day. I do not know of anything which was so fraught with true nobility and ab? solute fearlessness as this act of Capt. Ridgely's. Both of these men were beautif ul characters. "Can I give you as good an instance of mercy ? Yes, hundreds. On one occasion at the battle of Gettysburg, as our Confederate lines were advanc? ing, they met with a temporary check. Our troops were firing from behind rocks, and the enemy were advancing behind rocks, also, and firing upon us. Just a little iu front of our line where my men stood was a wounded North? ern soldier, calling frantically for wa? ter. A Confederate soldier stepped from behind his shelter, leaving his gun, and held up his hands as a signal t to cease firing. The Union troops I stopped when they saw his signal, and ' he ran forward and gave the wounded Yankee his canteen of water, raising his head on his arm, until he had drained the contents of the canteen, then restoring him tenderly to his re? clining position on the ground, ran back behind his rocks where he had been, and resumed the battle. The enemy's line resumed firing at the same time, and this simple act of mer? cy passed amid the greater incidents of that terrible day, and doubtless of the hundreds who witnessed it but few live to remember or relate the oc? currence. "Tho bravest and best men with whom I came in contact during two great conflicts were Christian men, and I believe the better Christian a man is, the braver, truer and nobler he is in private and public life. I do not sec how a man can be brave or use ful unless he is a Christian."_ SHOES; I SHOES. I SHOES ? THE YATES SHOE CO.

A dialogue about heaven took place a few days ago between a member of the Baltimore County bar and a lady eighty-two years old, who was under examination in an equity case. The lawyer, to test the lady's faith in the hereafter, asked her if she thought we would know each other in heaven. She replied by asking him another question as to where heaven was. His reply was not satisfactory to the old lady, and she told the lawyer that if he wanted to question her about any place he must locate it. Then she added: "Of course, wc will know each other in heaven, for our bodies will be the same there, excopt that we will not have any blood in us." The lawyer next asked her if she thought people would have teeth in heaven. She said she could not an? swer that definitely, but she thought they would. One thing was certain, she added: "People would have teeth in the piace allotted to the wicked," and she could prove it by Scripture. "How can you prove it ?" said the lawyer. "Why," she re? plied, "the Scripture says the wicked shall be turned into utter darkness, where there shall be weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth, and how could they gnash their teeth if they did not have any?" The attorney did not proceed any further on that line of examination.?Baltimore Sun. A Silver Tree.

It is said that the Prince of Wales really contemplates visiting New York in September to see the international yacht races. Perhaps he will sail down to Savannah and visit the Atlanta Expo? sition. ? In 1S50 the people of the United States consumed liquor to the amount of 4.08 gallons per capita. In is:)2 they wore consuming more than four times as much. We turn tu the statistical abstract, issued by the secretarv of the treasury, and find that while in 1S75 the American people were using S.G7 gallons of liquor of all kinds per head, in 1892 they were con? suming 17 01 gallons per head, part of which, however, is used in the arts. Yet it cannot be said that we have been be? hind our British cousins in earnest though apparently unsuccessful attempts to stem the rising flood of intemperance. Bather, indeed, we should say that America has tried more experiments in that direction than any other country. Prohibition has been extensively tried, and is now the law in seven States?Maine, Now Hamp? shire, Yermont, Iowa, Kansas and tho Dakotas. Four of these?Maine, Kansas and the Dakotas?have put prohibition in their constitutions. Nine other States, namely, Delaware, Rhode Island, Massa? chusetts, Connecticut, Indiana, Nebraska, New York, Illinois and Ohio, have tried prohibition and abandoned it. It seems to be the conclusion of experience that in States where large cities are located a prohibitory law fails of enforcement. 1 Health ' means so much more than 'you imagine?serious and natal ^diseases resuh from!
