CHARLESTON. S. C.. September li.
lo H'm. M. Fleming, Esq., Chairman Republi?
can Party. Spartanburf County, S. C.:
DEAR SIR-It was my wisii and desire to
see you and Mr. Pointer, ami otl.ers, personal?
ly, in reterence to what seemed to be the de?
plorable state ol affairs in your county aud in
York, and consult with you upon the subject of
the proposed declaration of martial law, In the
counties named, by the President of the United
Steles; but circumstances, over which I had
nocouirol, prevented me from doing so. I,
therefore, adopt this method of addressing
M ou on the subject.
Sir, I regard the subject-the reign of mar?
tial law In any portion of our State-as the
most momentous with which we may be called
upon to deal-one that should be most care
iully considered by us in all its bearings be
fore we recommend or demand it, and as I
hope and trust will be done by the authorities
at Washington before it ls put into operation,
You, sir, Know the condition of affairs in
your county better than I do, of course; and
lor this and other reasons are better qualified
?to determine what is best calculated to save
human lite in your midst, break the bans ot
whatever ot persecution ?xists therein, and
restore to your heretofore well-ordered com
muuily that peace and good order so essential
to the people and the well-being of the State
?I shall venture, however, an expression of my
opinion on the subject, in the fervent hope
that some good may result therefrom.
Sir, that outrages the most hellish have been
perpetrated in many counties of the State
none wiil deny; and I seriously doubt that we
shall ever be able to wipe out the stain that
thus blackens our history of the past few
years. Outrages that, however the good
meaning and well-disposed of both political
parlies in the State may discountenance and
condemn, have not yet ceased. That some
men and newspapers give at least a negative,
if not a positive encouragement to fhe evil
disposed, is true: and that the Republican
party, however unwittingly, contributed
towards this condition of things by the election
$f bad or corrupt men, ls believed. Aatotbe
charge of corruption and positive theft of the
public moneys, is it astonishing that the peo
pie, or a large portion of them, should feel
Insecure as to their property, and seek to Just!
fy almost any and every act, however
violent, outrageous or unlawful, that
looks to the overthrow of the party in power,
when they are made in high official circles ? It
is not my purpose, however. Just now to In
quire into tne causes which have led to these
outrages, which cannot be defended upon any
pretext whatsoever, and are a disgrace to any
Civilized community, and loudly calling for
some remedy, but to seriously ask those who
favor the reign of martial law, what good re
suits are expected to be obtained, and may
not Uiu- '-rejaedy" pro? worst than the dis?
ease ? For my own part, I am unequivocally
and most decidedly opposed to lt, and for the
tol'.owinz reasons amongst others:
First, because I believe the civil power is
amply suffjjjjient. The law, both of the State
and the United States, guarantees the lullest
possible protection to the life, liberty and
property of the citizen. If we say that the
State authorities will not or cannot apprehend
and punish the criminal, or that our laws do
not sufficiently protect us against the class ot
organized persons known as "Ku-Klux," we
nave what is known as the Ku-Klux act of
Congress willeri, it would seem, does. For in
stance, we have United States officials, ^ir.
abals, commissioners, ic, whom I believe are
empowered, under the provisions of the act
referred to, to com ir? .nd the assistance of the
military In certain contingencies, and every
possible facility by which these offenders may
be brought to punishment. But, say some,
"that is true, but ?hese men will not do their
duty." Suppose tbls statement is correct, can
they not be reached ? Can they not, and
wouid they not, be removed, and other men,
who would do their duty, put In their places ?
And, may I not ask whether the same thing
may not occur under the relgri o. martial law ?
May not military judges also ft!? to do their's ?
I am opposed to it, secondly, because it
would be a source of constant irritation, and
would widen the breach and embitter the feel?
ings between the two classes of our people,
and thus do an immense deal ot harm, and
once inaugurated, would have to be kept up
lor an almost indefinite period; and it would,
tn my judgment, be found then to be necessa
ry to eatjsM it perhaps all over the State, in
order fwproid a possible revolution, or, when
withdraw^, sooner or later, provoke the same
result. Thirdly, because it would be a splen
did card for the Democratic party in the next
.Presidential election, who would attempt to
prove, with the same show of reason, that the
co'-utry, under the rule ol the Republican par
ty, ls tending toward a military despotism
the subordination of the civil to the m'.litary
power. And, fourthly, because it would seem
tongue the failure of reconstruction, so far,
at least, aa the fitness of the colored man for
.citizenship and self-government ls concerned,
btecause.be it remembered, he ls in the majori
ty in South Carolina; that being so, it would be
asked why can he not have or muk-) ?jch a
government as will protect his own life, tiber
ty and property, and engage in the legitimate
pursuit of happiness, while doing the same in
the interest of the other race.
The foregoing *e some of the reasons, hur?
riedly penned, why I am opposed lo martial
law. In conclusion, I may remark that I have
no pet scheme of my own. but would say that
lt the State administration will do its duty; the
United Slates officers, under the Ku-Klux act
-Of Congress, theirs; the influential men out?
side the Republican party theirs, by condemn?
ing, in unmistakable terms, these outrages
which we suffer, and the Republican party
burl from official position those who may be
proven to have acted in a manner discredita?
ble to a public officer, and thereby abused the
public confidence, and those who, from what?
ever cause, may be unfit for the positions they
.flu, thea we shall have peace and a strong
government, willing and able to protect the
humblest citizen, without discriminating
against any class, and trust we shall be
satisfied to manage our own affairs.
I am, sir, very respectfully,
? Your obedient servant,
A. J. RANSIER,
Chairman Republican State Committee.

LONDON, September 16.
It has been suggested, as a means of com?
promising the New Castle difficulty, that Hie
employers adopt niue hours as the daily term
o? labor, and that the striking workmen sacri?
fice half an hour's wages per day to secure the
reduction ot hours. This, it is thought, would
come very near to satisfying the claims ot
both parties. The meeting announced to take
place In Trafalgar Square, London, to express
sympathy of the Loudon workmen for their

NEW YORK, September 16.
Professor Malian went on board the steamer
Mary Powell, this morning, at West Point, on
his way to New York. Nothing peculiar was
noticed in his manner, but about an hour after
he Jumped Irom the steamer lorward ot the
wheel into the river. He was undoubtedly
struck by the wheel, as his body did Dot come
to the surface. Boats were lowered and every
effort made to save him without success. His
act was undoubtedly deliberate, as lils coat
and overshoes were found in the* vicinity
where he made the fatal Jump. He went ou
board the steamer ? ith his housekeeper, who
seemed to have suspicions that the old gentle?
man was in trouble. He said to her : "Don't
follow me about." He succeeded in getting
iway from her and disappeared. He was
seen to make the latal leap by one ol the
pilots, who give the alarm: Professor Mah an
was a man about seventy years old, apparent?
ly hale and hearty. A search will be made at
ance to recover the body.

[PROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ]
NEW YORK, September li.
Startling events follow each other so rapidly
in the municipal drama now being played, that
a letter from New York almost stales before
it reaches the eyes of the readers of THE NEWS
The telegraph has informed you of the robbery
of the comptroller's office on the evening be
tore the celebrated "vouchers" were to be pro
duced In court, and also of Mayor Hall's letter
to Comptroller Connolly demanding his resis
nation, and of the comptroller's refusal to re
tire. What will happen next, nobody wili ven
ture to say. The public would not be surprised
to hear of the suicide or sudden disappearance
of either of the unfortunate municipal trio.
I have endeavored to silt public opinion upon
the recent extraordinary occurrences. In the
first place it is evident Connolly and Tweed
have lost all their friends. Even the street
corner loa(er3 shout to their fellows derls
Ively, "Sa-ay, who stole them vouchers?" Ex
ceptlng a few clerks around the City Hall and
Courthouse, you would not find a score of peo
pie who would now admit that they are
"Tweed's tuen" or "Connolly's men." To this
depth have these"" mighty magnates fallen
present. As to Hall and Sweeney, opinions are
divided. There are many persons, even araon0
the opponents of Tammany, who believe that
Peter B. Sweeney ls perfectly honest. As to
Hall, lt is notorious that he ls poor, and that
a point in his favor. It looks as if he has been
the tool-perhaps knowingly so-ot sharper
men. Although a very amiable gentleman 1
Erivale life, Hall is not possessed ot prodigious
rains. He showed the gauge ot' his intellect
when he ordered guns to be fired in the Park in
honor of the safe arrival of young Jim Ben
nett's yacht at Cowes. He is otherwise re
nowned more tor bad puns than good sense
But still, if the public money has been stolen
ho cannot escape a part ol the responsibility
Nobody believes the comptroller's version ot
the burglary. The vouchers which were ab
Straeten so opportunely were the very ones
(rom which the accusers of Mr. Connolly ex
pf cted lo prove lils guilt. That they should be
stolen at this critical moment would seem to
be a confession on the part of the comptroller
that he dared not let the public see them. He
and his confederates are the only persons who
could possibly be damaged by their exhibition
and therefore the only ones interested in gel
ting them out ot the way.
Tue affair has got outside of party limits
The Times would undoubtedly like to make
capital tor the Radicals from the exposure
but the people, Irrespective of party, have
taken up the matter ol the investigatiou with
so much unanimity that the movement can no
longer be called a Radical movement. It ls
Democrat who has applied' for the injune
lion against the city officials, and the Demo
eratic ex-Judge Barrett 'conducts the case for
the plaintiff. The German Democrats, under
Mr. Oitendorfer, and backed by his paper, the
Stoats Zeitung, repudiated Tweed and Connol
ly several weeks ago. Other Democratic
papers have been carrying on the fight, and
even the World takes sides with Hall against
Connolly. Governor Hoffman has bad no rela
lions, official or personal, witlrthe authorities
here since the July riots. The country Demo
cmrs disclaim any responsibility for the action
ot city politicians, over whom they have ha?
no control. It ls certain, therelore. that the
next Democratic S.ate convention will pass
resolutions just as strongly worded against
municipal corruption as ihe opposition con
ventlon will, the "ring' will, therelore, be
?eft out in the cold.
The mystery of the body in the sand, about
which I gave some facts in my last letter, has
been solved. Strange to say, notwithstanding
the apparent connection between the Initials on
the dead woman's ring and tho-e or the miss
lng Troy dressmaker, it turned out that Miss
Jenny Hicks was not the person Involved. She
has been found by her friends in Boston
whither she went by some incomprehensible
freak. The drowned beauty was a Mrs. Lov
ell. wife of the captain ot Mr. Cornelius Roose
velt's yacht. The captain deserted her for an
other woman and ceased to contribute to her
support. Instead ol blessing her stars for rid
dance Hom such a worthless tetlow, and get?
ting some honest employment, she was foolish
enough to commit suicide. She took passage
on one or the excursion steamers running to
Long Island, and when she was not watched
threw herself overboard. Her body drifted
ashore the next day. The identification ot
the body by the New York friends or the de?
ceased disposed or the latest mystery.
Roberts Brothers have Just issued a volume
or the new American poet's. (Joaquin Miller's)
verses. Miller has created an extraordinary
sensation in England. The critical journals
and the reviews have praised him extrava?
gantly until they went wild over him. He was
little known in this country outside of Cali?
fornia. He is a native of Oregon, lias lived a
wild frontier lite, not unmixed wilta crime, and
knows but little of the world beyond what lie
has seen in the plains and amid the Rocky
Mountains. His reading had been so limited
that ul the time he produced his "Songs ol
the Sierras." he wa^ acquainted only wilta the
works of Byron among English poet?. He
went over to England lately, where he at once
became the literary lion, AS au evidence ol
his ignorance, it is related that a friend pre?
sented him to Browning, and learned to* lils
astonishment that until that moment Miller
had never heard or the poer. The situation
was embarrassing. Miller writes poetry in de?
fiance of culture"and education, because it ls
in him and lins to come out. His lines are as
vigorous and breezy as tie winds ol his famil?
iar Sierras. Ho completely eclipses tor the
time our last Pacific wonler, Bret Harte.
At Steinway Hall a remarkable exhibition
is taking plac? nightly. It ls the performances
of a band composed ol handsome young
women-all of them artistes of the^tiighest
merit. They were Imported from Vienna,
where they have been a sort ot local sensation
for several years, by Fred. Rullman, formerly
the leading theatre ticket speculator of this
city. The young ladies number over twenty,
each one being a proficient on some musical
instrument, and they are assisted by a child
twelve years old, whose soprano voice ls a
physical"curi03ity. For oddness, at least, this
exhibition has hardly ever been rivalled. Rull?
man will take his Viennese on a tour, and von
will have a chance of hearing them in Charles?
ton.
As I close, the news conies of the nomina?
tion or Joel Parker for Governor ot New Jersey
by the Democratic Convention at Trenton.
Parker is unquestionably the most popular man
in the State. He ia not only sirong with his
own party, but he commands the respect ol
the other. He can probably poll five thousand
votes more than anv other Democrat In New
Jersey. The Radical nominee. Cornelius Walsh,
ts correspondingly weak. He is simply a rich
man-there is nothing more of him. He is u
manulacturer. and for years has been in a state
of chronic warfare with his workmen. Tne la?
bor vote will be against bira. New Jersey is
ordinarily close, but Parker will have a "walk
over." NVM.
THE GREAT MUNICIPAL SQUABBLE.
NEW YoRk. September 16.
The injunction against me New York au
thoiities cannot be dissolved until the general
term In December. The Injunction, however,
does not clog municipal affairs, there bein"
twelve millions free in the treasury. The
World says : "lt is, of course, utterly impossi?
ble that Comptroller Connolly should remain
in office now. His retirement is merely a ques?
tion of hours* time, perhaps, possibly, days,
certainly not or weeks. It' he does not rerign
now, the Mayor cannot avoid impeaching him,
and the stigr?a affixed to his administration by
Judge Barnard foreshadows the sentence that
would inevi;ably be passed on him by the
Court or Cr .nmon Pleas, ir he 13 foolish enough
to waive a trial. He ha3 no reason to expect
that the Co rt of Common Pleas would treat
him with more tenderness than Judge Barnard.
We are conildent he will not brave such a
trial, and we hope to hear or his resignation In
the course of the day."
Another meeting of the Committee of Seven
ty was held at the Chamber ot Commerce yes?
terday. The joint committee of citizens and
supervisors report no over-issue of city or
county bonds, and that the amount was cor?
rectly stated in August at $71,756,000. Sub?
committees for the investigation of details
will report next week. A commmlttee has
been appointed to draft an address to the peo?
ple ol the State, advising them of the neces?
sity of a new city charter.
Governor Hoffman had a private interview
with Hall and Connolly to-day. The friends of
Connolly propose a mass meeting to protest
against the action taken towards Connolly by
the other Tammanv chieftains.
GOSSIP FROM GREENVILLE.
Charlestonlans In the Mountain City
The Two Court?- How Judges Bryan
and Orr do their Work-A Bine Ac?
count of the Crops.
[FROM ora OWN CORRESPONDENT,"
GREENVILLE, S. C., September 15.
The Mansion House and private boarding
houses are full, and there ls as much company
here as there was before the war. Travellers
are the Hie of this city. The families from
Charleston are numerous. Among them are
ex-Mayor Macbeth and family, Oliver Middle?
ton, Esq., and family, and Judge Bryan and
family. The city ls all alive. New stores are
opened; and the prospect of the R. A. A. L.
Railroad with their workshops, and the work?
shops of the G. and C. Railroad, make bright
the prospects of this place.
Two courts are sitting here-the United
States Court, Judge Bryan, and the State
Court, Judge Orr. They are very different
men In appearance arjd method of doing busi?
ness. Judge Brjan is "citizen" in look and
method of work. He does everything with a
sclmetar. Judge Orr ls intensely "country'" in
appearance, and works with a sledge-ham?
mer. Judge Orr is a great favorite on the
bench with the bar, the Jurors and witnesses.
He works all day, takes recess for dinner, and
is at it until dark. His charges decide nearly
every case. He is not profoundly legal, not
philosophical-hates metaphysics, but takes
such plain, practical Anglo-Saxon common?
sense views ot every subject, that a Jury easily
understands the case and can make a verdict.
I was yesterday in Judge Orr's court, and
witnessed a curious scene going on. E. lt.
Stokes, Esq., candidate for Congress at the
last election, was pleading a case, and claimed
a verdict for the full amount, not fifty per
cent., as is usual In this court. He charged
heavily on the Judge; alluded, every tew
sentences, to his fifty per cent, opinions; pro?
nounced them to the jury, judge and tull
court unjust, unpatriotic, unchristian, a dis?
grace to one of the Old Thirteen, and went on
io that style for a long time. I lett him in the
midst. Judge Orr has great self-control, and
bore it all silently. It was) too personal, and,
beside, indiscreet and ill-timed. The fifty per
cent, verdicts have seen their day, and are
near an eud, and, although demoralizing, the
few remaining cases will likely be settled as
their predecessors have been.
I have examined closely a colton field near
me. There ls not a fresh bloom upon lt. The
first picking was fine, all .you could wish; the
second will be good, and that ends lt. There
will be no third, fourth or fifth, as usual; and
this field ls a specimen of the cotton all about
this county. There will be as much cotton
picked In the early part of the picking season
as usual, but little or none the latter part, and
the whole crop will be gathered here by Octo?
ber 1st, and ready for market by October ist h.
This section is good for half a crop, no more;
but the price will make up in part at least.
We have just had tine rains, which will bene?
fit the turnip crop, alter a very considerable
drought of four weeks, wijh gusty winds, con?
tinent of clouds, with veryjco?l weather-ther?
mometer sixty degrees. It is very healthy.

SENATOR SCOTT ANO THE KU-KLUX.
[Telegram to New York Tr.bune ]
WASUINOTON, September 14.
Senator Scott has received and forwarded to
the President the original letter denying the
charge of recent outrages and disorders In
Spartanburg County. S. C.. which was sent
irom Charleston on the 7th Instant. Accom?
panying till?, Senator Scott addresses the
President personally, explaining the alleged
misintormation. The dispatch contradictlog
Senator Scott's letter declared that no
outrage had occurred there since the
sub-committee ot' inquiry left that sec?
tion. The senator says : "l'he aggra?
vated case mentioned in the paper sub?
mitted to you, as having occurred in Spartan?
burg County, was that ot a man named Quinn,
who was stated to have been brutally whipped
in Pacolet township, In that county, 'jhe letter
ol'Colonel Gabriel Cannon, and another letter
of Dr. A. W. Cummings, both reaching me to
day, and herewith submitted, taken together,
show that the outrage was committed
in Union County, a short distance irom
the line of Spartanburg, while Quinn was
lhere on a visit to his brother-in-law; that
Quinn ia a citizen of Spartanburg County,
and thal one of the persons arrested for the
offence is also a citizen of that county."
The senator thinks that the denial ls in reality
a mere evasion, as the crime charged was com?
mitted on a citizen of Spartanburg, just over
the line, and probably by bis fellow-citizens ol
thatcouDty. He affirms that, in calling the
President's attention to this and other act?,
and possessing a full knowledge ot the state of
opinion in that region, a demand for the pro?
clamation of martial law was clearly in accord
with his duly, and the views ot a majority ot'
the sub-committee of inquiry. The report,
which accompanied 8enator Scott's first letter
to the President, was trom Colonel Merri 1,
commanding in Union County, and is now oa
tile In the Atiorney-General's office.

THE COTTON MOVEMENT FOR THE
WEEK.
Diminished licet ip ts a? Compare* with
Last Year. . j
NEW YORK. September 17.
The cotton movement shows an increase in
receipts over last week, while the exports are
largely In excess of last year. The receipts at
all of the ports have been 12,5(51 bales, against
9137 last week, 7379 the previous week, and?
7844 three weeks since. The total receipts-,
since September have be^n. 21,860 bales I
against 33,882 for the corresponding period of
the previous year, showing a decrease ot 12,022
bales. The exports from all of the ports for
the week amounted to 15,915 bales, against
3340 for the same week last year. The total
exports for the expired portion of the cotton
year amounted to 30,430 bales, against 10,903
bales for the same time last year. The pres?
ent stock as compared with that of last year is
as follows :

nothing of the damage done the crop.
TUE WEATHER A NIX TUE CROFS.
Chesterfield.
The Cheraw Democrat, of Friday, says that
..the crops have been more seriously impaired
than was at ?rst supposed."
Georgetown.
The Times, of the 14th inst-, says : "-We last
week mentioned that the rice harvest waa in?
terrupted by a rain which commenced on the
Tuesday before. We are sorry to say that the
rain continued, with high winds from the east
and northeast, until last Monday, rendering it
out of the question to either cut or handle
rice. This must necessarily cause damage and
serious loss to thc planter. The rice birds, too,
are doing incalculable damage to the crops.
They are in larger numbers than have been
seen for years, and attack as readily the well
mulured rice as that in milk. All ot these
things contribute to shorten the crop, which
would without these causes have been short
enough any how."
Reparta from Georgia.
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel edito?
rially says:
The continued heavy rains of the last ten
days have been very detrimental to the coltop
crop. From all parts of the State we have ac?
counts ol injury done, and in some instances
lamentable "calculations" of the great falling
off in the crop from the excessive moisture
and gales.
The Albany, Georgia. News says:
Since the storm of last week, this section
has had rain enough for a tidal wave, and the
whole lace of the earth is flooded. Colton ls,
of course, suffering seriously. It has had no
sunshine assistance to recover from the effects
of the cyclone, and the consequence is the
bolls are dying, and the young fruit cannot
mature. We are assured that the damage is
much greater than wu supposed last week,
and that the same may be said of surrounding
counties. It ls now evident that 'Southwest?
ern Georgia will gather the shortest crop ot
any previous year, and that we are safe lu an?
nouncing the crop a disastrous failure.
Report? from Florida.
A correspondent of the Savannah News
writes from Lane City, Florida, on the 10th
inst.:
Having experience of forty-live years as a
farmer, I have never seen suoh *a lallure ot
crops as this year. I do not think that there
will be one-third ot a colton crop gathered this
year from this point to Orange County, a dis?
tance of about two hundred miles. I was lhere
during the storm, and I examined the crops
very closely on my return, and I lound that the
storm bad washed off nearly all the leaves and
forms. The rust in many places has almost
entirely destroyed some farms in this vicinity,
and, to take everything into consideration, I
do not think there can be one-third of a colton
crop, long or short, gathered this year.
TUE COTTON YIELD OF 1871.
Why the Crop !>In?t Inevitably be a
Sm.i li One.
[From the Selma, Alabama, Times, September 14 ]
The cotton crop has now advanced to that
state ot maturity that the amount to be gath?
ered cannot be affected, except by the damage
that may be done by continuous rains, which
will discolor the lint- and prevent its classing
as high In the market as it would should the
weather continue clear. The aggregate ot the
crop can now be safely^?.tlmated. as nothing,
so tar as the gross umoiMkmade Is concerned,
ha-gs any longer on c<flK?nc!es. The cat?
erpillar may do his best, mn the crop islfxed.
and cannot be reduced by any damage from
the worm.
The question now arises, what will be the ag?
gregate of the cotton crop of 1871-2? We believe
mat we give outside figures when we say that
it may possibly reach two and a quarter mil?
lions ot bales. Our reasons for believing that
there will be a small crop this year are based
upon the fact that the early rains in January
and February prevented the farmers from pre?
paring their lands properly; that the crop was
planted three weeks later than usual; that
the excessive rains after the crops were
planted and up, prevented the cultiva?
tion necessary to enable the crop to
grow off; that alter lt had commenced
growing, the grass, owing to the rains, grew
taster than the cotton; that much of it was cut
up In trying to kill the gras.?, thereby giving
a "bad stand;" that alter lt was cleared ol
grass the drought came on and caused
it to shed nearly all of the "squares'* and
..forms;" that the excessive hot weather that
we had. and the continued drought in the
months ot July and August, made the bolls
smaller than usual: and lastly, we have had
the rust, boll worm and caterpillar, to a very
great extent, throughout the entire South.
We do not know that there could be any great?
er combination of disasters toa crop, iu one
season, than we have had this, and in spile of
all, we' believe that the planters will realize
as much money on the present crop as they
did oa the crop of last year.

Mr. J. L. Gossett, one of our most amiable
and respected citizens. Since that time many
?he neighbors have volunteered to watch
premises. Un Sunday night laat. while
some of the watchers were secreted near the
housev a party of six rode up the lane leading
to the dwelling. Upon being called to -bait,"
they commenced firing at the watchers. The
firing was returned, and not until a #ozen

SALE OF TBSAOOCSTA POWDEK WORKS.-Tile

powder works, once the property ot the Con1'
federate States, located above Augusta, Ga.,
have been purchased by Messrs. Coles, Sizer 4
Brink, who are now negotlatlne with parties
with a view to reestablish a powder manufac?
tory at the works. The buildings are said to
be better arranged for the manufacture ol
powder than any similar institution la the
United States. Every provision ls made in
their construction to prevent explosion, the
powder, during its various manipulations,
being placed in comparatively small quanti?
ties In different compartments. During the
war the greater part of the powder used by
the Confederate armies was manufactured at
these works, and their capture by the Union
torces in 1863 or '64- would probably have
caused the surrender of the Confederate forces
much sooner from want of ammunition.
