IN SEARCH OF Jenkins's Brigade Cte M Neics ant COLUMBIA, April 22.-Now that the Reunion is the talk of the South, and the North is taking much interest in the success of the gathering, a letter just received by Governor Ellerbe will ' be of especial interest. The letter is quite long, but gives an interesting chapter in the history of Jenkins's brigade, which did such noble fight ing, but which, it is said, has less of written history than any other com mand from this State. The corres pondence relates to the return of a ?fcag "captured from a Michigan regi ' ment. The first letter reads : The Park, St. Louis, Michigan, April ll, 1899. Lient. T. R. Lackie, Detroit, Michi gan-r^My Dear Lackie: Your very interesting favor of the 9th instant is just received. In relation to the State colors of the 16th, lost at Gaines's Mill. Va., taken by Col. Jenkins, of the 1st South? Carolina Sharpshooters, (Palmetto,) it would be most gratifying to the regiment could they be returned to the associa tion; and by that body turned in to the adjutant general's office, at such time ai ' the association should desig nate. Therefore, as president of the Sixteenth Regiment Michigan Infan . try Veteran Volunteers' Association, I respectfully ask you,, in its behalf, to enter into correspondence with the South Carolina authorities with this end in view. Please give it your im mediate attention. I am very truly yours, * EDWARD HILL. ; Late Lieut. Col., 16th Reg't. Mich. Inf. Vet. Vols., Br't. Col. U. S: Vols. The story of the whole matter is giv?n in tie following letter: 467 Ninewood A.venue, / petrbit, Mich., April 16,1899. ^To his Excellency, William H. Ellerbe, Governor of the State of South Carolina--Sir: I have the honor pf addressing your Excellency on a \ subject the importance of which you" will find in the enclosed kiter of Col. Edward Hill, secretary of the Butter field Association, composed of the , following infantry regiments of vet eran volunteers, 12th, 44th and 17th piew York, 16th Michigan, 83d Penn sylvania and 20th Maine, Gen. Daniel Butterfield, president. The 16th Michigan, originally known as Stock ton's 1st Michigan independent regi ment, was organized at Camp Backus, Detroit, Mich., by Col. T. W. B. Stookton, of Flint, Mich. Under direct authority from the Secretary of War, before it left Detroit for the s?efc of war, the ladies of Detroit, through Mrs. Charles H. Dunks and her daughter, Mrs. R. T. Elliott, pre sented to Stockton's regiment a superb flag of finest blue silk, inscribed thereon Stockton's Independent Regi ment. The State arms on one side and ?n the reverse the arms of the United States, " finely executed, on which was the motto, "Stand by the Union." At the battle of Gaines's Mill, Va., June 27,1862, this flag was captured by Col. M. Jenkins's Palmetto Sharp shooters, under the following circum stances: Late in the . evening of that day the Confederate, army until then had beer.', unable to break*, our lines. Hood's Texans were thrown to the front of Gen. FitzjTohn Porter's left centre, (Martindale's brigade,) rushing against it like a tornado, beat it back < and swept along with it the right of ? Butterfield's brigade. This brigade being the extreme left of Porter's line ; Stockton's regiment (16th) the left of the brigade, the latter being now forced back, formed a new front on its original right flank. Stockton's brigade was rallied by' Major Norman E. Welch, and advanced back to its original position. We saw a brigade advancing across the plateau as if to strike our brigade on its left flank. This brigade proved to be Gen. R. H. j Anderson's, commanded by Col. M. I Jenkins. Major Welch gave the com mand, "Right face, file right, march!" . Passing down the incline until we formed a junction with the rest of our I brigade, fronted, and commenced load ing, not quite certain io the dusk of evening that the troops advancing were friend or foe. Col. Jenkins halted his men within about thirty paces of our line and commanded us to surrender. Major Welch replied: UD-d if we do." Immediately the South Carolinians, the Palmetto in front, poured into our ranks a wither ing volley of musketry and repeated it by regiment, the front regiment kneel ing. Our ranks were mowed down like grass. Corpl. Fideau, who carri ed the silk flag, was shot down. The Confederates had now charged us and were in our ranks. Some one of our men stooped down to recover the fallen flag, and he, too, was shot down and the flag captured by Col. -Jenkins's Palmetto Sharpshooters. OJ our right hellish deeds were being enacted on both sides. Screaching demons, clash of small arms, roar of cannon, bur-t ing shells, dense powder smoke and A LOST FLAG. tptured it at G-aines's ill. I Courier. night-darkness made it worse than two hells. The 16th was beaten back and took refuge on the Chickahominy. Though this last onset with the South Carolinians did not last over fifteen minutes, the 16th lost over 220 killed, wounded and prisoners; the prisoners were few, including Col. T. W. B. Stockton, who was related to Gen. Longstreet. Therefore, your Excel lency, although we lost our flag, we nobly defended it, until by overwhelm ing force it was wrested from us, and we appreciate the fact that uo braver, no nobler men ever marched into bat tle than the Palmetto Sharpshooters ; but it might yet, I hope, not appear invidious for me to discriminate where all the troops on that field fought so j well. When Gen. Lee surrendered at Ap pomattox the Palmetto- boys stacked their arms in front of the 16th Michi gan. One of their officers on inquiry learning who we were, remarked to his men the incident of us firing on them in theTiollow and the capture of our flag. We were glad to mees on friend ly terms and would have gladly shared with them our last morsel of food or our last penny. Some time last fall a discussion arose between several sur vivors of that straggle as to what bri gade first penetrated our lines and wound up the fight on the left. It all appeared in the Confederate, Veteran, of. which I am .fy sub scriber; . and to give cr?ait to Hood's Texans and Jenkins's South Carolinians. I wrote the Veteran in January last. After its appearance I received a score of letters from 'Con federate Veterans very complimen tary to me, especially one from a Pal metto boy. I have sent it to the Veteran for publication. The flag in question was, by permission of Gen. R. E. Lee, presented to the Governor of South Carolina, and I believe is now is the archives of your ?tate Capi tol And now that all sectional feeling is obliterated: the North and the South United by the tenderest ties of broth erhood under one flag that binds with golden links these glorious United States through these circumstances of glorious change, I appeal to the kind ness of your Kxcellency and the Vet erans of the 1st Palmetto Sharpshoot ers that.the flag be returned to our organization, and not without giving in return some lasting memorial to its gallant captor that will bear his name down the ages of fame and the organi zation to, which he belonged. We, too, will have the flag, not for its in trinsic value, but in remembrance of those who presented it to us. Mrs. Danks is dead, and Mrs; Elliott, whose husband, R. T. Elliott, was my captain and Major commanding the regiment when he was killed at Golopo tomy Creek. A'irginia, May 20, 1S64; Major Welch, afterward colonel, killed at the battle of Peables Farm, Va., September 30, 1864. Another brother of Major Elliott, a major also, was killed in the Wilderness; one aged brother now survives Richard Elliott, who contributed to the flag. I learn ed through the daily press that a NorthCarolina regiment returned a cap tured flag to the 14th Michigan, which caused me to write Col. Hill, with the hope and prospect in view of get ting our flag returned. Hence my appeal to your Excellency in behalf of ! bur association and the memory of those loved ones now passed to the other shore. I have given your Ex cellency all the facts in this matter as I know them, and now fully believing that your Excellency will give them due consideration, will await your reply, with the hope and prayer that the gallant heroes of Jenkins's Pal metto Sharpshooters will consent to return our long lost flag, so gallantly j captured, and so honorably lost, I have the honor to be very respectfully your obedient servant,' T. K. LACK-IE. The flag was not turned over to the State during Governor Ellerbe's term, and nothing seems to be known about it at his office. If there is anything known about the matter Governor Ellerbe would be glad to hear about it and it would be well to communicate directly with the Michigan officers, who have taken up the matter: the addresses are given in the correspon dence. Many old soldiers now feel the effects of the hard service they endur ed during the war. Mr. Geo. S. An derson, of Rossville, York County. Penn., who saw the hardest kind of service at the front, is now frequently troubled with rheumatism. <lIh?da severe attack lately,"' he says, "and procured a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It did so much good that I would like to know what you would charge me for one dozen bottles.'' Mr. Anderson wanted it both for his own usc and to supply it to his friends and neighbors, as every family should haye a bottle of it in their heine, not only for rheumatism, but hmo back, sprains, swellings, cuts, bruises and burns, for which it is unequalled.

It was sent by George Anderson Foote, son of the late Dr. George Foote, of Warrenton, an hon ored and highly reputable physician lately deceased. He first gives an ex tract from Appleton's Cyclopedia of .Biography, (wrongly printed "Biolo gy,") of the hanging of that very gal lant and meritorious officer, Captain John Young Beall. a native of Vir ginia, and born in 1835, and hanged February 24th 1865, as a spy, which was most infamous, most infernal. He was regularly commissioned and was acting under orders. It was one of the many disgraceful acts of the Goths and Vandals in their wai upon the South, and literally without any rea sonable or just cause. A sketch was found among Dr. Foote's papers, who was a surgeon in the Confederate army, and was imprisoned in Fort Columbus, New York harbor. Dr. Foote's post humous paper is both interesting and informing. He tells of the efforts made to save Captain Beall's life by Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts, and others, but in vain. Dr. Foote's cell in which he was confined was ad joining Capt. Beall's. Beall and John Wilkes Booth had been roommates at college and were very dear friends. Booth tried every way to secure Beall's release from prison, but in vain. An effort to secure his escape was made, in which Dr. Foote was to be a party. In fact, two plans came to naught. The interesting point, really of his torical interest, is to follow. Dr. Foote's private memorandum gives a statement that will surprise many, as it did us. The common idea is that President Lincoln was murdered by John Wilkes Booth because he was the head of the Northern 'States and was responsible for the war upon the South. In other words, that Booth, being in intense sympathy with the South, and being something daft, had assassinated the President on account of his course in the war. After the plans failed Dr. Foote says Booth hurried to Washington and on his knees implored President Lincoln and Secretary Seward to pardon, or at least respite Beall. Lincoln promised to respite, but ?hat night Lincoln order ed his execution. Dr. Foote says : "This order was executed and Beall was hanged within thirty yards of my window and inside Fort Columbus, and not at Johnston's Island, as has been frequently reported. "Booth, for what he termed the perfidy of President Lincoln toward himself and friend Beall, at once swore to avenge his friend's death by killing both Lincoln and Seward. He did not intend to shoot Lincoln in the the atre, but the contemplated opportunity did not offer itself elsewhere. "Bat for the fact that Booth's spur caught in the curtain that fatal night he would have escaped, at least for a time. The war had nothing to do with the assassination of the Presi dent; it was due simply and solely to revenge, intensified by Booth's love and admiration for his friend. "Booth went to New York the morn ing of Beall's execution, and being so grievously disappointed at what had occurred, he became measurably an in sane man. I had not thc least idea of Booth's plan to assassinate the Presi dent. This plan was known only to one man, and to him Booth revealed in only an hour before the assassina tion. The man to whom he thus con fided his purpose, begged him not to carry it out, and finding that Booth was not to be turned from his revenge, left the city before the horrid tragedy occurred." We were very intimate with Dr. Foote for many years. He was our family physician, and most attentive, sympathetic and skillful. We always thought him truthful, honorable and sincere. We at least believe his state ment without reservation.- Wilming ton Messenger. - If you live iu Madagascar you must have children, or else pay a tax to the authorities. This is the latest decree issued by thc government of Madagascar. For some time the pop ulation of that island has been de creasing. The government authorities sat in council a short time ago and de cided upon a tax to be levied upon every man who, at the age of twenty five, is unmarried, and upon every married man. who at that age, lias no children. The tax is ?3.75 a year. Every girl must pay a tax of ?1.80 a year as long as she remains single after she passes her twenty-fourth year, and every married woman docs the same until she has children as the result of her marriage. - "You young scoundrel," said the father, seizing his disobedient son by thc hair; "I'll show you how to treat your mother."

Second South Carolina Men Return. Company B, Greenville's quota in the 2d South Carolina Regiment, mus tered out at Augusta the day before, yesterday, were joyfully received by their home friends and relatives ?after their long absence. Capt. W. G. Sirrine is justly proud of the fact that he lost not a single man during the service by sickness or otherwise and that none are left behind sick. In speaking of the manners, customs and characteristics of the Cubans, and venturing an opinion as to their future, Capt. Sirrine said: "We found that the people of Cuba were apparently glad to see the Amer ican soldier, and while we were there no clash occurred. They were apa thetic in their manner, but whenever approached for information seemed to be anxious to prove themselves friend ly. The better class of Cubans are in all respects like our own Southern citi zens so far as their conduct toward strangers is concerned. It is errone ously supposed by some that they are not of pure blood, but from observa tion I can say that this is a mistake. A large part of the islanders are ne groes but occupying toward the better class the same subordinate position that negroes occupy in this country. Among the less cultured portion of the inhabitants they associate on terms of equality, and the consequence is a more noticeable admixture of blood. A large majority of the Cuban soldiers we saw were negroes ?and mulattoes, but the officers were white. I can only speak from actu?al observ.ation in and around Hav.ana. I do not recall seeing a single negro merchant or officer of the government. It is true that some of these business men are swarthy, but I could see no trace of African blood in them. It there is friction between the whites and blacks it did not come within my view or knowledge. The , entire popul?tion strikes me on the whole, as industrious and self respect ing. They are quick-tempered and free in expressing their thoughts and to this excitability of nature must be attributed the disorders that have oc curred in Havana. There are all over the island, however, men of high in telligence who have been educated in the United States ?and in Europe. Their conservatism seems to be having a favorable effect among the educated class. I believe that in the course of four or five years the people will have become accustomed to the art of self government and will appreciate in a measure its responsibilities. I do not pretend to express an expert opinion, for the many duties that I was called upon to perform left me little time to investigate or study the conditions, but everywhere I went I found shrewd and well informed business men, quiet and orderly Laborers ?and soldiers who, if not well disciplined, certainly ?attend ed to their own business. "I did not expect to see evidences of statesmanship or diplomacy, but I ob served activity in commerce ?and patri otic efforts to master municipal prob lems. "It is not necessary to refer to the inherent weaknesses of the Cubans in expressing the view that they arc capa ble of some day m?anaging their own affairs. M.any of them are cruel, re vengeful and treacherous, but this is a characteristic of their progenitors. As sociation with Americans will probably eradicate many of these evils. There is a movement to increase the number of schools and hospitals. "The city of Havana will be a more fit place to live in a ye.ar from now than ever in its history. American ideas of cleanliness are becoming general. In the country, however, it will doubtless be many years before the unfortunate disregard of the commonest of sanitary laws is mitigated. "One cannot expect that a people so long threatened, oppressed and perse cuted can spring into prosperous civil ization at one oound. There is cer tain to be disaffections, brigandage and dishonesty an the administration or local affairs. But the freneral wish of the people to be recognized as gov ernors of their own country, coupled with the peaceful influence of commer cial interdependence, will have a pow erful effect in establishing haw and order. These views may be too hope ful, and the troubles of the South American republics may be repeated in Cuba. However, the nearness of the island to the United States, and the constant interchange of ideas through tlie business letter and the press, m?ay form a close union of sympathy ?and purpose."-Greenville JVc<r*', April-til.

This fearful disease often first appears as a mere scratch, a pimple, or lump in the breast, too small to attract any notice, until, in many cases, the deadly disease is fully developed. Cancer can not be cured by a surgical operation, because the disease is a virulent poison in the blood, circulating throughout the system, and although tho sore or ulcer-known as the Cancer-may be cut away, the poison remains in the blood, and promptly breaks out afresh, with renewed violence. The wonderful success of S. S. S. in curing obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases which were considered incurable, induced a few de spairing sufferers to try it for Cancer, after exhausting the skill of the physicians without a cure. Much to their delight S. S. S. proved equal to the disease and promptly effected a cure. The glad news spread rapidly, and it was soon demonstrated beyond doubt that a cure had at last been fouud for deadly Cancer. Evidence has accu mulated which is incontrovertible, of which the following is a specimen : "Cancer is hereditary in our family, ray father, a sister and an aunt having died from this dreadful disease. My feelings may be imagined when the hor rible disease made its appearance on ruy side. It was a malignant Cancer, eating inwardly in such a way as to cause great alarm. Thc disease seemed beyond the skill of the doctors, for their treatment did no good whatever, the Cancer growing worse all thc while. Numerous remedies were used for it. but the Cancer grew steadily worse, until it seemed that I was doomed to follow tho others of the family, fdr I know how deadly Cancer is, especially when inherited.
