Thomas, Stat?' historian, an nounced (he tact that a battalion ol' ?.avalry from this State had served in the Confederacy in the Confederate army under the banner of tho Thirty seventh Virginia cavalry. Further in vestigation has revealed thu following fact? as recited by Capt..). G. Haw thorne, of the command referred to and by Col. .Fames A. Hoyt. Writing to Col. Thomas from Greenville under date of November ;5d. Capt. Hawthorne says : Deni' Colonel: Yours of tho 24lh ultimo iv reference to the circumstan ces under which Company *-B,'' Thirty seventh cavalry was formed received at iuy ollice iii duo time. And hut for my absence would have been answered earlier. My friend and comrade, Col. J. A. Hoyt, has published, according to my recollection, an accurate statement of the details and circumstances under which t his company was formed. (Ku dosed lind copy, also a communication from Lieut. Wm. G. Field on tho same subject to Gov. Ellorbe.) My connec tion as an ollicer was severed from the battalion after its consolidation and assignment to the Hoinpton Legion under Col. M. W. Gary. In np sense, should their leaving Hie command he construed into desertion. They, as they honestly believed, had complied willi the. terms of their re-enlistment in the battles around Richmond light ing with a gallantry equal to airy, suf fering severely, especially at Seven Pines ami Frazier's farm. There was no company in thc Confederate army composed of a more brave and gallant a set of mell than Company "B,*^ Thir ty-seventh Virginia cavalry. Yours truly. .1. (J. HAWTIIOKXK, Capt. Co. G, Fourth S. C. IL Following is Col. Hoyt's statement in the Greenville Mountaineer. "The Fourth South Carolina had its baptism of tire, in the very first hour of the First Manassas, repelling the lirst charge made hy the enemy on that day. and steadily resisting Hu- advance of superior numbers until reinforced and rescued from a most perilous position by tho gallant Georgians under Barlow and Barnard E. Bee. Tho regiment was composed of troops from Greenville, Pickens and Anderson, and was com manded by (Jul. .1. B. F. Sloan, now pf Charleston. Upon the reorganization in April, ltf<>2, about one-half of the regiment joined in thc formation of the Palmetto Sharp Shooters under Col. Micah .Jenkins, and thc remainder was organized into tho. Fourth battalion under Lieut. Col. Chus. S. Mattisoii, of Anderson, embracing live companies commanded respectively by Capts. J. G. Hawthorne and Henry A. Cauble, of Greenville, D. L. Hall and Janies Long, of Anderson, and John IL Bowen, of Pickens. This battalion went through the battles around Richmond, but was diminished considerably at Seven Pities and Frazier's farm, and Col. Mattison received a disabling wound at Seven Pines. A remnant followed the fortunes of Jenkins' brigade at the second Manassas and in thc first Mary- ' laud campaign, and when thc Potomac was recrossed the men who were left became consolidated into two com panies, which were, attached to the infantry of the Hampton Legion, then under the command of Cpl. M. W. Gary. . . - . ' Upon thc organizat ion of the Toni th battalion it. was understood by the men that they were re-enlisting for ninety days only, but. the conscript act*would keep the majority in the service, and j so the bulk of them decided to remain with the brigade. Between seventy five ami a hundred of tin; battalion, however, considered that they had been dealt with improperly, and there, is no doubt that unauthorized statements wore made to them as to the extension of their term of service. While con tending for a release from the organi zation an opportunity was ottered- to join Dunn's battalion, which had been assigned to service in southwest. Vir ginia, and nearly a hundred men or ganized a company for that purpose. Dunn's battalion was subsequently known as the Thirty-seventh Virginia cavalry, and this is the way that these South Carolinians became identified, with a Virginia regiment, losing their association with troops from our own State. This statement of facts us we recol lect them, is given as an act of justice to those who were our comrades tho first year of the war, and many of them our intimate friends during a long period of our lives. They were censured at the time for not acqui escing in tho situation, but they were conscientious in tho belief that, when the war department accepte I their services in Dunn's battalion all irregu larities had been cured ami the past, was a sealed book. Others differed with this view of the matter, and when Col. Gary was given the remainder of the Fourth battalion, ho procured nu order from the war department for the revolting company to report, as part of his command. In October, 18G8, he was visited by Capt. A, C. Earle, at the camp near Knoxville, Tenn., with tho view of arranging the matter in some way, but Gary would not yield his ground, and insisted that Earle should forthwith report with his company to the Hampton Jegion. This was never done, however, and with the rapid pro gress of events in the spring of 1304, when the Confederates had all tho fighting they could do on every hand, tho company was unmolested, and the men did good service under Bradley T. Johnson, of Maryland, if wo aro not mistaken, until tho close of tho war." Calhoun's Vision. Way hack in the UO's the linn, .lohn (..'.Calhoun made ii tour un horseback and on foot across the mountains which separate Tennessee from South Caro lina. Ile footed it over Stumphouse Mountains. Smoky Mountain and through llubuu Oap, and expressed the opinion that nature seems to have left just enough nunn tor a passage way for the construction of? railroad to bring the products of the growing West to the tidewater of the South Atlantic. Some time after this, and largely through his influence, the Blue Ridge railroad scheme was inaugurated. Sev eral millions of dollars were expended in grading and tunnelling, win n the project fell through because of the war ami because the time was not ripe. The work done stands to-day-a gran ite monument to the sagacity of the men ol haifa century ago. Tin- Black Diamond will utilize the work ?donc by tin- fathers. The rich, teeming West is about, to burst its way through the mountains and enrich us with her manifold products. The Cod who fashioned Kubill! Gap is the same who fashioned Port Royal harbor-one for tin; otluyr. When! Calhoun walked the iron horse will rush along transporting the coal t hat will feed the furnaces of the world. Calhoun, of course, was a visionary and a dreamer. The time may be near at hand when those who aire benefited will thank God there have been visionaries and dreamers.-Pal metto l'ont. Starve to Death, or Rob! WASHINGTON, NOV.4.-The following letter from Lieut. Col. Cnrboime, of thc Cuban army now at Havana, has been received by Secretary Quesada, of the Cuban delegation here, who has laid it before Secretary Alger, with an urgent request that steps be taken to relieve the. extreme distress it sets forth. Lieut. Col. Cnrb?iiiio is thc in ventor of fhn explosive known as car bonito, and is regarded as the repre sentative at Havana of the Cuban leaders and forces in the Held. Ile writes as follows, the letter bearing ditto of Havana, October 2!?: "lam just, back from the camp of Gen. Mcnocal, chief of our army in this province, and let. me tell you in some faint way the true, state of our poor and suffering army, and th?; con-' sequences that may come to the coun try if we do not. find in n short time a remedy which will save us. Thc Cuban army is dying with hunger. Such terrible words in no way exag gerate the actual conditions. Gen. Menocal took me to see his weak, tot tering and squalid soldiers-made so on account of the want of food and tho actual necessaries of life-and to think that these nieu were in such a state by reason of obeying their chiefs, who de sire fi rat of all to respect the orders of the American ( ?overninent. The Cuban leaders in camp told inc to tedi you that they will maintain resignation and pa tience, and, above all, faith in tho American Government and the worthy President McKinley, but at the saine Unie let it be understood that weare hungry; that we have in the towns and lields of Cuba all that is needed in the way of food, but that we. :iro forbidden to touch it by reason of the peace order. They do not get, from Havana one-fourth of what they need, and our soldiers ure dying at the gates of the city for lack of food.. What, shall we do? The-time will conn', when we can not bear it any longer, and then what will he. thc result? I returned discon solate to Havana and tried to get suc cor, but the people tire already so poor that I obtained nothing. Wc went to the American commission, which re ceived us very well and ?offered us much, but. up to thc present time they have given us nothing. If by misfor tune wean? driven by the.necessities of our anny to get hy force what we need so as not to ?lie. of hunger, will the people of tho United States con demn us, or will the nations of thc world, which do not know what is hap pening, judge us unworthy of the sym pathy of the American people? Wc are very happy to hear your assuran ces as to our Republic. Wc have never doubted the good faith and generosity of the United States. Toit we owe the complete liberty which we have been unable, in many years to establish by ourselves." Secretary Alger said he woald look into tho matter and.would telegraph tlie commission at Havana such in structions as were appropriate to the case. ?_ - A colored Baptist pastor in Bloomfield, N. J., has by his vocifer ous proclamation of the Gospel so dis turbed the worship in a neighboring Buptisb Church that the Civil Court has been appealed to and he has been admonished to modify, not his mes sage, but the delivery of it.. Dr. Ly man Beecher used to say that he al ways hollered louder the less he had to say. - mmt ?? STVTB br OHIO. CITY OF Totuuo, J ? LUCAS COUKTV, ' | **. FR AM: J.

Leach in the blacksmith and wood shop of this place. Miss Callie has an unusually pleasant smile on her face, and it may be that she is going to get married. H it is true we eau say that hr who is so "lucky* as lo get her. will certainly get a wife worth having. Major says that now tis he has got back "There will br hot times in the Ohl Town now.'" Mrs. Mollie McConnell, of Moffat ts ville. has been visiting relatives in this community. Uer health has been greatly improved while she has been in our midst.
