It certainly was not a war of rebellion against a government consti tuted for certain specified purposes and properly exercising thc powers with which it was invested. Neither was ii a war for conquest, au example of whi.'h we have recently ha?. though disguised under the hypocritical pre tence ot' htiuiauitarism. N<>r wa- it a war for thc preservation ol' th'- insti tution ol' slavery, as some people ig norantly and erroneously -uppn.-e. tin the contrary, the contest, fearful a- it proved to bc in its results, was waged for th'- -ole purpose of preserving the right of local self-government guaran teed .iud secured ?as it was vainly sup posed) hy the compact into which the thirteen sovereign and independent State- entered when the existing Fed eral < ??> vern mont was originally formed by the free will and consent of those St 'tes, upon conditions distinctly de clared and set forth in the' instrument of union called the Constitution of thc United States. When, therefore, in the progress of time, hy the increasing wealth and power of one section (d' this great country at the expense of another section, owing to circumstan ces, of which time will not permit even a passing notice, these conditions, designed to secure the sacred right of local self-government-a right abso lutely essential to the very existence of a republican government-were ruthlessly disregarded for the pur pose of satisfying an ever-increasing greed for gain, no other recourse was left for the weaker section hut an ef fort to separate from those who. in utter violation of the limitations of the Constitution, designed solely for the protection of the rights ol' the minority, were trampling upon those rights; and when thc stronger section took up arms to prevent a peaceful separation, every instinct of manhood, and every impulse of true patriotism, demanded that thc Southern people should likewise resort to the ultimate arbiter of nations. Although, from tho outset, some regarded the contest a.- hopeless, yet the unflinching valor and thc unwavering fortitude with which it was waged hy our people un til brushed under the mere weight of numbers, backed hy the resources of thc civilized world, will always alford material for some of the brightest pages of history, and will always fur nish thc highest evidence of the splendid character of the Southern people, who, for four long years, main tained one of the greatest and most destructive wars recorded in history, under the most adverse circumstances and with ever weakening resources, solely in defence of their principles. No more brilliant example of the truest manhood and highest patriotism can be found on the pages of history. Turning from the recollection of thc splendid traits of character displayed by the Southern people during thc war, let us contemplate for a moment the conduct of the Southern people after the disastrous termination of thc the war. It must he remembered that while all wars are attended with, and followed by, results of the most dis tressing and ruinous character, such as the destruction of property, the in terruption and sometimes the paraly sis of business relations of the coun try, the privations and sut?erings of the non-combatants, and, above all, by the loss of human life, yet thc wai in which the Southern people were engaged in defence of their principle? was not only attended with, and fol lowed by, these direful results com mon to all wars, but was also followec by two additional results, one of whicl was exceptional, and the other, so fa; as I am informed, previously unheart of. A war in Europe, for example, ii usually waged by men trained and se apart for that business and, therefore causes but comparatively little, if any drain upon thc industrial and businesi portious of society. Here, however the Southern armies were composed o: the very flower of the population. Ii the ranks were found business mei and professional men, ns well as iarin crs and mechanics-the very class o men moat important to the materia ?(MSTkUTIOX.,; ? i i : ii"; i < . t < ' p I )ovc]( >] KM I I ? v 1 Wm-.

I have alway? believed that he de- , .erved tribute (.? the \ alor of the pri; vate soldier. I have always believed thai lo; deserve?! iimrc credit for e??ur Hg?; and en?!urauc<J than the "Hu er. For, t?i suv nothiuir of the pride of "... i po-itinn wlueli incited the ollieer to th?: performance of duty, he always had this additional advantage: When going into battle his mind was, in -'Hue measure, dive; tc<l Inuit thc ?lau ger tu be encountered by his attention tn the duli?'.-of his position, while . the private soldier had nothing before i him but the dangers to which he was exposed. All honor, therefore, to thc ^ private soldier. Hut another and .-till more -triking and peculiar difference in the results . nf ?mr war from that of any other war ? of which we read is the fact that when, ordinarily, a war terminates, the labor system ol' the country in which it is I waged is the same as il was when the war began. Her?!, however, when mir war terminated the labor system of 1 i our ..ountry, dependent so largely a-, j ii was on the institution ?if slavery, was for a time, at least, utterly <lc s troy cd, and continued for years more or less in a disorganized condition. Now. when it is considered how large ly thc material prosperity of a coun try depends upon its labor system, it is easy to perceive how great and un usual wert; tin; difficulties which the Southern ?copie had to encounter, not only in repairing the waste ami de struction caused by the war. but also in obtaining thc bare means of sub sistence. And when it is remembered how sunn thc objects were, in a meas ure, attained, we should not withhold our tribute of admiration for thc energy of character displayad by thc Southern people- a f?*ature?if character in which our people bad been supposed by some to b?: conspicuously lacking. A single illustration will bc sufficient to prove this. When the war ended every rail road in the State was so broken down ' and impaired that there was not a ; single one capable of being operated : throughout its entire length, and yet ; in an incredibly short time all were in I operation. This was nut due to the : aid of foreign capital, which had not then began to How into thc State, but ? was due entirely to the energies of j our own people, for, of course, the j railroad companies ifould nut have ?>b ' tai ned thc means necessary to repair ! their waste places except by thc tran ; spoliation of thc products of the , country through which they passed, and those products were dug out of ; the ground by our own people. Hut I j cannot dilate further upon the cvi , deuces of the energy ol' character of , the Southern people, brought out by ! thc result of thc war, and must pro I cecd to speak in brief terms of another J phase of Southern character brought ; out in the boldest, relief by one of the I inure remote results nf thc war. I In the dark days of Reconstruction, when the best people of this grand old State were disfranchised, and the en tire Government was in the hands of the barbarian, the alien and thc few native traitors who joined with them I in oppressing and plundering the peo J pie, it was really wonderful to see how I few of our native population degraded I themselves by such an association ' with the vilest of thc vile. Perhaps this was not so remarkable in those of us who were old enough to have im bibed the principles of our forefathers, and who could not, therefore, so easily wrench ourselves louse from the senti ments in which wc had been reared and educated. Hut for the younger men, who were just then coming upon the stage uf life, and had not yet be come sn thoroughly imbued with thc sentiments of thc past, with exhausted means, with thc necessity staring them in the face to do something to make bread, and with every avenue to access apparently closed, except through the ranks of the Radical party, be it said to their lasting honor that the renegades in any community could be counted on the lingers of one hand. In this community wc should ! bc proud to say that all thc fingers of 5 even one hand would not bc needed to make the count. Hut, while ?tis true that these young men are justly cn - titled to great credit for so nobly 1 withstanding thc temptations thus r alluringly held out to them to desert 1 and sacrifice thc principles of their forefathers, truth requires us to say s that their noble conduct was, in large t measure, due to the influence of the , women of thc country, and to say this , does not detract from their merit, for s all we know that as a rule all good and , noble work is, in large measure, due f to the influence of cultured and ro i fined women. Take, for example, two i instances pertinent to the present oc - casion. That 'monument in yonder f churchyard, one of the first erected in 1 honor of thc Confederate dead, owed ta o ri ii i n riiiti sueeessfubeoinplciion t" in. eli ort s u nd influence ni' woman, "fo, too, that moro imposing and costly monument, standing in the t'apitol .'rounds at Columbia, liltingly frowned with t h<* statue "I' a private moldier, wa- thc work of th.- nobie AWI nie II . >!' tin' State, and in passing I nay Ix- permitted to >ay thal on the i-t ol' tin- :;i counties int" which tb? ??tate was then divided, showing tb?; imounts contributed by each county, L'hostorfield, though one ol'th" pour .?t counties in tin; -tate, .-tami- ninth. I'liesc lew remarks cannot he jo tter mncludcd than hy ijiiotint; the follow OL' extract from thc beautiful inscrip tion engraved upon that monument: Let the stranger, who may in future Limes read this inscription, recognize [hat these were men whom power .ouhi not corrupt, whom death could not terrify: whom defeat could not Ushotior, and let their virtues plead lor inst judgment of the cause in which they perished. Let the South 'aroliuiau of another generation re member that the State taught them low to die: and that from her broken 'ortuncs she has preserved for her .hildren the priceless treasure of their Horneries, teaching all who may claim he same .birthright that truth, eour ige and patriotism endure forever.'" n. w. r. mt 4? -mmm I ?ave Moore ami Ills Reckless Itaring. Col. .lohn I'. Thomas, the State listonan, has received a letter from Wa j. NV. S. Ibinlop, in which is men ioned the notable services of I>avid Woore, who is employed in the Colum na postoflice building now and who vas known as one of the bravest, (d' he brave. Maj. l>unlop was the gal ant commander of McGowan's battal oiiof Lee's sharpshooters. Rewrites is follows from Little Kock. Ark. : Hear Sir : Keplying to your favor of die 11th inst. I desire to say that, mme time ago, in correspondence with iur friend Dantzler, with regard to an ippointuicnt in our anny then prepar ing to enter the held against Spain, you were incidentally brought into the liscussi<?n as a witness as to Dantz ler's qualifications, etc., and among other things mentioned Dantzler sug gested that you were writiug up the history of South Carolina and the part taken by her troops in war between the States. I then mentioned that 1 had preserved certain memoranda oi that eventful period which might bc of servi? e to you, but that was the last nf it. Since then 1 have written the story :)f "Lee's Sharpshooters'' and now have it ready for the press. The book will be issued in a few weeks. Pavid Moore! Indeed 1 do remem ber him. He was an orderly sergeant in one of the companies of McGowan's sharpshooters which 1 had the honoi to command. Dave Moore was one ol the leaders of the linc in every en gagement, and if there was any objec tion to him as a soldier it was to his reckless impetuosity in a charge or his persistent disregard of danger wheu the opposing lines were hung up in the death-grapple on some hotly con tested Held. I remember well of hav ing to make him take care of his life :it Kearn's station, when the sharp shooters engaged the Federal line ol battle for five mortal hours and until they silenced the nine-gun battery ano tied the infantry down behind thc breastworks, until our line advanced and captured the guus and over 2,00C prisoners. The sharpshooters fired Ititi rounds per man before the final assault and then participated in thc charge and capture. I remember the Jones farm incident. The sharpshooters broke the Federal ulvance and captured in thc bo .lent of thc ?Jones house some .iii or 40 pris oners, including the major command ing and several other officers. When the lines of battle advanced and as sumed the burden of battle, Law s and Met iowan's brigades charged aud suc cessively broke two Federal linos and engaged the third juBt at dark Sep tember :it)th, 18tU. Thc action was suspended, however, on account of the larkuess, leaving the Confederates in possession of the field. The enemy entrenched duriug the night on the I'egeam House ridge more than a mile back from where the action began. Thc nest morning the two battalions af Law and Met Jowan were ordered forward to make a demonstration while a column was sent out to strike the enemy in flank. What became of thc flanking column I am not inform ed. But thc two battalions of sharp shooters drove in the Federal sharp shooters, charged and broke their main linc, and sent them scurrying through thc woods in every direction, captur ing a large number of prisoners. So large was thc number captured that when they came pouring over thc breastworks as we entered, our own batteries, believing that we had been cobbled up, opened on us, and con tinued to pelt us with shot and shell until a courier was dispatched and no tice given of our success.

Washington** Personal Bravery. l'util Leicester I'ord, in hi- i.k un j thc true G gorge Washington, gives luau y l.iet- not known before. His personal courage was of a remarkably high order. Jefferson, indeed, .-aid' that ''he wa? incapable "i' fear, meet ing personal ?danger with the calmest unconcern.'' lu hi- first hattie, he described the scene himself a- follows : "The right wing, where 1 stood, was exposed to .md received all the enemy's , lire. I h'-ard tin; bullet- whistle, and. j believe me. there is something charm- j ing in the sound." In the engagement with Braddock be exp.i hun-' il that "I had four bulb i- through my coat and two horses shot under me. yet escaped unhurt, although death was leveling my com panions on every .-ide of mc. ' Vet this experience only made him eager for the fighting at Fort Duquesne. At the siege of Yorktown, an eye witness relates that 'during the as sault, the British kept up an incessant firing. Iiis excellency General Wash ington and Generals Lincoln and Knot, with their aids, having dismounted, were standing in an exposed situation awaiting thc result. Gol. Cobb, ?ine of Washington's aids, said to his ex cellency : 'Sir, you are too much ex posed here : would you not better step back a little ?' 'Colonel Cobb, replied his Kxcellcney, 'if you are afraid, you have liberty to step back.' " Like every truly brave man, thc great general was truly compassionate. Ile wrote, osi one occasion, that thc sufferings of the country incident to the war "melt tuc into such deadly sorrow, and I could offer myself a will ing sacrifice to the butchering enemy, provided that would contribute to the people's case." And again, in 1770: "When I consider that the city of New York will, in all human probabil ity, very soon be thc scene of a bloody conflict, I cannot but view thc great numbers of women, children, and in firm persons, remaining in it. with the most melancholy concern. Can no method be devised for their removal?" It is no wonder that such a character commanded what his enemies called thc "Personal Idolatry" of the nation for which he fought and which he so loved. Baby's Photograph. A young photographer, when asked what sort of subjects presented the greatest difficulties to him, replied, without a moment's hesitation, "Ba bies," says the Philadelphia Times. "For instance," he continued, ' I took photographs of a little 10-month old fellow the other day in six differ ent positions. Yesterday I sent proofs to his mother, and to-day she brought them in. "I'm sorry,' she said, without any obvious grief, but none of these nega tives will do.' "'Not one of the six?' I inquired, though I was prepared for what was to follow. " 'No,' she said. 'I'm afraid not. You see, I like this one very well, though, of course, it doesn't do baby justice, but his Aunt Ellen says it's an absolute caricature of the dear little fellow. The one she likes I don't care for at ali, and his papa says he should never know for whom it was in tended. It looks so cross, and baby is such a sunshiny child. "'The one he like9, this smiling one, I shouldn't consider for a mo ment, for it makes baby's mouth look so much larger than it really is. " 'His grandmother chose that one, but as Cousin Fanny says, there's a very queer look to the child's eyes in it-very queer! However, she likes that one where she's almost crying, that sober one. You ought to have heard baby's grandfather when she said she liked it. " 'He really decided the thing, for what he said seemed so sensible. He asked me why I didn't have some more taken and see if there wouldn't be at least one that would really look like baby. Now, when can he sit again? It's hard for mc to spare thc time, but you see it's the only thing to be done.' " Solomon in Tennessee. A certain justice of the peace, who lived in Tennessee, was once trying a Negro for stealing. Among the de fendant's witnesses was a girl. It was very evident that she was not telling the truth. "The magistrate stopped her in the midst of her testimony and said, "do you know whar you'll go if you swear alie?" "Yes, sir," she replied. "Whar ?" "I'll goter torment !" "Torment? You'll goter jail; en from thar you'll goter the plenipoten tiary, that's whar you'll go !" During the rest of the trial she spoke the truth, for the jail had more ter rors for her than "torment." - "Young man," said the young woman's father, "you .have boasted several times that you possessed an honored name." "Yes, sir," replied the suitor haughtily. "Well, may I inquire what bank it will be honored ai and for how much ?'1 To Heilere Choking. . .

WASHINGTON*, Feb. 1?.-The Admin istration has determined to rapidly ex tend the jurisdiction of the Knited States over the whole ol' the Philippine group, acting on the theory that delay in this case is dangerous, and that an archy and a general paralysis of snell interests as the island support will be brought about through a failure to promptly replace the Spanish sover eignty over the islands by that of the United States. This decision involves the necessity of a naval campaign, mid this will be instituted as soon as Ad miral Dewey receives the reinforce ments in the shape of gunboats on the way to Manila. It was not anticipated that there will bi* a necessity for any formidable de monstrations, but the fact that the Knited States Government is able to exhibit a sufficient force to accomplish the purpose of occupation is expected to deter the natives from profitless re sistanee. < ?wing to the vast number of the Philippine Islands a large number of gunboats would be required to visit them simultaneously, so the programme will bc to have the vessels visit in order the principal towns outside of Manila. The naval vessels probably will be accompanied by some troop transports, und the soldiers will be landed where necessary to hoist tho Knited States ting and take possession formally of the ports. It is understood that there will be no attempt made at this time to displace any of the existing municipal governments, except where they prove refractory and otter resistance. In fact, a policy of conciliation Will be followed at all points in the treatment of the natives. - Fifty w: 'nut trees in Cass coun ty. Mich., were recently sold for $10, 000 cash.
