The daily phoenix. (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, March 15, 1866, Image 4
The following lines on the South's most
eminent statesman were written and pub?
lished some years ago by the late Provi?
sional Governor of North Carolina :
John C. Calhoun.
B? W. W. HOLDEN, EDITOR OF THE STANDARD.
The voyager on the Southern main
Views with rapt awe the hallowed sign,
Which nightly flames " beyond the line;"
Nor deems the labor all in vain
Which brings him to thc long-sought
shrine.
The warrior's tribes, in field by flood,
Walk in its light when the day is gone,
And hail it in its light abode,
Best reflex of the absent sun.
In all their devious wanderings,
From dewy eve through midnight's reign,
It guides them till the morning's wings
Shed sunlight o'er the earth again.
What if that cross its front should veil,
And, darkling, sink in night's embrace ?
No '<ther stars nor sun could fill
Or share its wondrous dwelling place.
S*ar of the South, 'twas thus with thee !
To thee all eyes and hearts were turned,
As round thy path, from plain to sea,
The glory of thy greatness burned.
Millions were drawn to thee, and bound
By mind's high mastery ; millions hailed
In thee a GUIDING STAR, nor found
A ray in thee that waned or failed.
Fix'd as the sun which hangs in Heaven,
Firm as the earth it shines upon ;
Pure as the snow by light winds driven,
Wert thou, Columbia's honored sun !
No night's embrace for thee, nor pall,
But such a mortal change has wrought ;
THOU LIVEST STILL in mind-in all
That breathes, or speaks, or lives in
thought.
Star of the South ! thy beams are here
HERE IN THIS HEART, that weeps thy loss;
Though hidden, thou art still a sphere,
Serene, refined from earthly dross,
Eternal and intensely clear !
RALEIGH, April 6, 1850.
Strange Narrative of a Resuscitated
Felon.
* * * Wait till you hear
it. Ten years ago, I was elected
sheriff of this County. This was my
firet election, and I have been re?
turned regularly ever since. My first
attempt to open court was made dur?
ing an important trial. The crimi
ual was a depraved, desperate wretch,
who had been indicted for an atro?
cious and brutal murder. The fellow
was greatly hardened, and seemed to
care but little how the trial went.
The evidence was strong against him,
and when the case was submitted to
the jury, they returned a verdict of
guilty without leaving their seats.
The execution was fixed for a day
two weeks after the trial. Of course,
it was my duty to put the rope around
his neck and launch him into eterni?
ty. It was a distasteful duty, I as?
sure you; for, although I knew full
well the man deserved his death,
I did not relish the idea of hanging
him. I got through with it, however,
and set him to dancing in the air.
He did not struggle much, and I
thought had an easy death. After
hanging the usual time, he was cut
down, and his body given to his
friends for interment. I thought I
had seen the last of the man, as the
wagon containing the body drove out
of the jail yard, but I was mistaken.
About four months after the exe?
cution, I happened to be passing my
barn, when I saw a man sitting in the
door-way, with his head resting on
his hands. I did not like his looks,
so I approached him, and asked him
what he wanted there. He raised his
head and looked at me in silence. I
am not given to superstition, and I
don't think I'm very timid, but I felt
my blood grow icy cold as I recog?
nized in the man before me the man
whose execution I had conducted.
Hia face showed no traces of his vio?
lent end; and the only indication of
it now visible, was a slight disfigure?
ment of the neck. I scarcely knew
what to say or think, for I had seen
him hung, and heard him pronounced
dead, and delivered his body to his
friends for burial, and yet, after a
lapse of four months, there he sat,
looking at me with a face as white as
a sheet. The terror that was exhi?
bited in his countenance convinced
me that he was no ghost, so I asked
him, with as much coolness as I could
command:
"Jack Larkins, do you know me?"
"You're tho man that hung me, "
he replied, doggedly, at the same time
moving away.
"Before you go, Larkins," said I,
"I would like to hear how you cheat?
ed the gallows. "
"You won't peach on any of them
folks as helped me, will you?" he
asked.
"No," I replied, "I will not get
them into any trouble. I simply
wish to know how you felt while you
were hanging, and how you were re?
suscitated."
He hesitated for some time, luit,
upon a renewal of my assurance that
none of his friends should be mo?
lested, he told me the following story :
When 1 put the rope around his
neck, and left him on the gallows, he
felt a faintness about the heart, caused
by his realizing his fearful situation
for the first time; but before he had
time to thiuk, the trap was sprung,
and he fell through the opening,
The shock of the fall was rather more
startling than painful, and did not
produce either insensibility or con?
fusion. His thoughts were remark- '
ably clear, and he seemed to have the
power of seeing far above, below and
all around him. Everything assumed
a bright vermillion hue, and a soft,
dreamy languor gradually stole over
him, until he became insensible.
There was nothing painful or unplea?
sant in anything he had undergone.
He seemed to be sinking gently into
a delicious sleep, and all his thoughts
were pleasant. The next he remem?
bered was being wrung by the most
agonizing torture. The pains were not
confined to any particular place, but
extended through the whole body.
His first thought was that he was in
perdition, and was suffering the
penalty of his crimes. The pains in?
creased each moment, and at last be?
came so intense that he started to his
feet with a scream of anguish, at the
same time opening his eyes. Great
was his surprise to find himself in his
father's house, in the midst of his
friends and relatives. He fainted at
once, and when he recovered found
himself in his own bed. As soon as
it was thought safe to do so, his
friends informed him, that upon
bringing his body home, they had de?
termined to try to resuscitate it, al?
though they feared it would be use?
less. They worked faithfully, and at
last succeeded.
"But, sir," said the man, in con?
clusion, "coming to life again was
much worse than dying."
The man promised to leave the
State, and try to do better. I had
but little confidence in him, yet I let
him go. He kept his word, however,
and a short time ago I heard he was
a well-to-do farmer in one of the ter?
ri tories;
This, gentlemen, is the manner
in which I got my ideas about hang?
ing, and I think you will admit their
force.
Special Washington despatches say
that considerable comment had been
caused in Congressional circles over
the speech of Garrett Davis, made in
the Senate yesterday, in which he
said that he hoped a new Senate,
composed of excluded Southern men
and their friends in tho present
Senate, would be established. It was
said that official notice would be
taken of the declaration on Monday.

TO THE URI
OF THE SOUTH.
THE undersigned, WHOLESALE DEAL
EES, advise yon of the fact that
Charleston is again a market for the pur?
chase of goods; and in view of thc early
opening of the Spring Trade, wo beg to
solicit the resumption of the patronage so
liberally extended to this market in the
past. We are aware that many old and
respected firms will be missed from our
number, but many familiar names will be
found in new associations, ready to supply
the wants of tho trade as of yore, and other
old and new firms will be added to our
number at an early day.
Tho cash and short credit system having
been universally adopted in all the North?
ern markets, we are necessarily compelled
to adopt a like system as the only safe one
on which to conduct business, and the
heavy per ccntage once necessary to cover
bad debts will now bc avoided. Small pro?
fits and quick returns will be the rule, and
nnder its working *e hope not only to
restore to our ancient city its former pros?
perity, but to extend her trade to the full
extent of the capabilities her excellent
geographical position and natural advan?
tages afford. Our interest and ambition
combine to stimulate us in attaining this
result.
The South Carolina Railroad is now open
to Columbia, and its President has officially
informed us that the Augusta line will be
completed to Blackville this month, and
that on the first of February he will receive
through freight to Augusta. A line of
steamers to Savannah will afford facilities
for shipping in that direction. It is our
purpose to have in store, by thc last of
February, a complete and varied assort?
ment of goods in our respective lines
adapted to the Spring Trade, and every
exertion shall bo made to promote your
interests.
We extend to you tho hand of commer?
cial fellowship, and solicit your co-opera?
tion and patronage in our efforts to inakfl
Charleston the centre of Southern trade.
Give us the encouragement we ask, and
you will enjoy all the advantages of a cheap
nome market.
