The Augusta Constitutionalist gives the
following history of one Andrew J.
Rogers, who has been arrested in Provi
ttonce, R. I., on a charge o? fraud:
The notorious individual alluded to
?rae never a Colonel in the Confed?rate
serrioe. He enlisted as a private in Com?
pany G, Third Georgia Regiment, in
this city, under the name cf Andrew J.
Livingston, in the Bpring of 1861, and
went to Norfolk, Va., in that regiment.
Shortly after reaching Virginia, he de?
serted, and in attempting to make his
way back to Georgia, was arrested by
General (then Colonel) Daniel, who,
with his regiment, was at the time sta?
tioned at Suffolk. He was tried for de?
sertion, convicted, and sentenced to be
shot; but, by some unaccountable acci?
dent, the proceedings and decision of
the oourt was lost or mislaid in Rich?
mond, and Rogers alias Livingston was
kept in close confinement until the
spring of 1862, when he was, by direc?
tion of the Secretary of War, drummed
ont of the service.
After the battles around Richmond,
when Lee's army had gone on its march
into Maryland, Rogers, by some sort of
rascality, procured a Captaiu's commis?
sion, and raised a small company of ca?
valry for service on tho York and lower
James Rivers, and around Richmond.
This command soon became a terror to
jill good people on account of their rob?
beries and other lawlers acta committed
on the people. Rogers kept his head?
quarters and an office in Richmond,
where he also carried on the substituto
business. With a half dozen worthless
scoundrels in his omploymcut, he was
constantly furnishing substitutes, who
would serve a day or two, desert, return
to Rogers, offer themselves nguiu, and
again, after pocketing the money, desert.
This business Rogers and his band of
thieves kept up until tho full of Rich?
mond, when he retired with an escort of
thirty or forty mounted men and a
wagon train large enough for nu nrmy
corps. This train of wagons, ambu?
lances and teams was taken from him by
the writer of this notice, by direction of
General Breckinridge, then Secretary of
War, on the 14th or 15th of April, 1865,
at Greensboro, N. C.
The next we hear of Rogers, ho had
gone on to New York in tho latter part
of the summer of 1865, tuking with him
forged railroad receipts for a largo num?
ber of bales of cotton along the lino of
the Gulf Railroad, below Doctor Town.
Arrived with these bogus receipts, he
plunged into Wall street, whero he soon
sold a Iorgo amount of the cotton which
be pretended to have receipts for, und
transferred the latter to tho several pur?
chasers. Getting the money in his pos?
session, be returned to Savannah, accom?
panied by an agent of the parties to
whom he had sold the cotton, and to
whom ho was to maka the deliveries.
A steamer was duly chartered in Sa?
vannah to go round to Darien and
thence up the river to Dootor Town,
whore tho cotton was to be bronght up
by rail and shipped to Savannah.
Everything was got ready for tho trip
a number of invited guests were on
board to enjoy tho excursion-the cham?
pagne and ice and segars were duly
stored-tho ship's stores all on board,
when Rogers, just as tho boat was about
to out loose from tho wharf, suddenly
ascertained that he had left nome im?
portant papers at the hotel. He would
not detain the boat, it could go on, and
he, with his 2-40 horse and fino buggy,
would out across the neck and intercept
the boat at Thunderbolt, only four miles
by laud, while it was distant by water
some sixteen or eighteen miles.
Tho boat left and so did Rogers. When
the steamer reached Thunderbolt, Rogers
was not there. They waited a couple of
hours, and then concluded that Rogers
might have been delayed longer than he
anticipated, and that ho would go on
across the country and meet the party nt
Doctor Town. Thither tho boat started,
but from that day to this, Rogers hus
not been found.
It is needless to say that no cotton was
procured on that trip.
AN IMMENSE PEACH ORCHARD.-A cor?
respondent of tho New York Exjn-ess
writes from a village called Ridgeway,
midway between Wilmington and Wel?
don, N. C., and gives the following de?
scription of nu immeuse peach orchard:
But the great feature of the picture is
a peach orchard of 250,000 trees, occu?
pying 2,500 acres of land. An iden of its
magnitude may perhaps bo better shown
by the statement that if tho acres
were in a row, they would extend to the
distance of 100 miles, and that if the
trees themselves wore in a row would
extend to the distance of 1,000 miles.
In the season for gathering, at only
one basket per tree per day, there must
be on tho ground every day a supply of
250,000 baskets. As tho penches pulled
to-day are to be in New York to-morrow
-for this can be-it is easy to conceive
the army of gatherers necessary to fill the
baskets and place them upon the cars.
An enterprise suoh as this requires no
small capital and energy. It is in capa?
ble hands and will probably bc a success.
The parties have secured, I am informed,
a contract for transportation for twenty
years.
THE NEW CABLE.-Tho work of laying
the submarino cabio from France to
America hos been commenced. The
shore end is already submerged. The
Great Eastern was expected nt Brest on
Friday, and immediately after her arri?
val tho splico of tho wiro will bo com?
pleted, and the work of "pitying out"
sommonced, the vessel steering for tho
Island of St. Pierro Miquelon.
To criticise a newspaper is an easy
tn9k, but to print one to pienso every?
body is n difficult undertaking.

MB. EDITOR: My attention bas baon
directed to the ninety-seventh section of
"An Act providing for the assessment
and taxation of property," passed by the
assemblage of negroes, carpet-baggers
and scalawags, denominated tho Legisla?
ture of South Carolina, who were con?
vened in extra session in this goodly
city, in the month of July last, for the
ostensible purpose of enacting a code ot
laws for the government of our beloved
old commonwealth, bnt for the real pur?
pose of devising ways and means by
which to plunder and rob the peoplo of
the State, I will not say for the purpose
of enriching themselves, for such a pro?
fligate set of land pirates could not be
permanently enriched, but I will say for
the pnrpose of enabling themselves to
live in profligate splendor off the bard
earnings of the already impoverished
aud dowu-troddon peoplo aforesaid.
Herc is the section alluded to: "When
the taxes and assessments charged
against any party or property on the du?
plicate shall not be paid on or before tho
1st day of March, after the assessment
thereof, or when the remainder of Buch
tuxes and assessments shall not bo paid
on or before the 20th day of May next
thereafter, together with twenty por
cont, penalty on such remaining unpaid,
tho County Treasurer shall proceed to
collect the .same, by distress or other?
wise, as may at tho time proscribed by
law, together with a penalty of ?ve por
cont, on theamount so delinquent, which
penalty shall be for the use of the Trea?
surer, as a compensation for making
such collection."
There, is not that both lucid and lu?
minous? Clear as "mud and the Missis?
sippi River," to uso nn elegant, if uot
eloquent, Pompey-Smash-isui. Yea, may
I not safely say, clear ns a carpet-bag?
ger's or a scalawag's conceptiou of
truth, honesty and justice.
Not being a Yankee, and boneo not
belonging to tho original guessing tribe,
and having, moreover, never enjoyed
tho blessings inseparable from the free
.school system of Yankeedom, I may
possibly bo pardoned for trespassing
upon Yankee territory uni! endeavoring
to guess out what tho framers of the
above section designed for ns, the tax?
payers, to understand as thoir menning,
and attempting to express it in langnugo
t'vat will bo intelligible to others who
may bo ns illiterate as myself. Hero,
then, is tho meaning, as nearly as I can
guess it out, without tho aid of au in?
structor: Should tho taxes assessed, on
the duplicate, against any party or
property remain unpaid on the 1st day
of March next ensuing after such assess?
ment, it shall be tho duty of tho County
Treasurer to levy an additional tux of
twonty per cent, on the amount of snob
assessment, as a penalty for non-pay?
ment; and should the original assessment
and the additional amouut thus levied
remain unpaid on the 20th day of May
next ensuing thereafter, the County
Treasurer shall proceed to collect the
same, by distress or otherwise, as may
bo at the time prescribed by law, to?
gether with a penalty of five per cent,
on the amount so delinquent, which
penalty shall be for the use of the Trea?
surer, as a compensation for making
such collection. If this bo not tho true
menning of the enigmatical section in
question, will some of the wooly-headed
fraternity, or some of their carpet-bag
allies deign to enlighten us.
TAX-PAYER.
Thc Cuban patriots, we are told, have
been doubly blessed this sommer. They
prayed for the appearance of yellow fe?
ver to thin the Spanish rauks, and have
not only received that, bat tho cholera
in addition. A correspondent of the
New York Times says: "The cholera has
broken out with incredible force among
the troops at Nuevitas and other points
ou the coast, and is already marching
with fearful strides toward tho interior.
The Havana journals keep this fact se?
cret. At a meeting of the Board of
Health yesterday (June 13) it was re?
solved to allow tho steamers Triunfo and
Pajaro to land their passengers and
freight, without subjecting them to qua?
rantine, or even to fumigation; but it
was resolved to fumigate all vessels ar?
riving after dato. To give you an idea
of tho strength of tho cholera, I merely
cito two instances. Seven Cubans cap?
tured a Spanish lieutenant and ten men,
who lind gone on a hunting expedition
near Nuevitas. and were leading thom to
an insurgent encampment. They rested
during the night near Altamisa!. In the
morning, only one Spanish soldier was
alive, tho other ten having died during
the night. The second case is that of
the family of a Spanish officer in Nuevi?
tas; his wife, two children and servant
died within threo hours. Tho Cubuns
were not wrong when they relied on the
yellow fever to thin tho ranks of the Spa?
niards; but they did not calculate that
cholera would also make its appearance.
The Spaniards lose fearfully, but it is
equally certain that tho mortality among
I the Cubans is very great, although it is
I impossible to obtain reliable figures."
REVENUE SEIZORS OF ACCOUNT BOOKS.
Supervisor Perry, of the District of
North and South Carolina, sometime
ago seized the books of the North Caro?
lina Railroad Company, for the purpose
of obtaining information concerning
shipments of merchandize. The com?
pany resisted tho seizure; but the Super?
visor procured an attachment and got
possession of the books. Tho case was
triud io Raleigh reoently, before the
United States Circuit Court, which de?
cided in favor of tho Supervisor. It
follows, therefore, that a reveuuo officer
' has a right to soizo and examine books
of shipment of goods subject to iuterual
reveuuo tax. That is, he will have this
right until some other j nd go roverses this
decision.

A Washington despatch to the New
York TlV/rfaaye:
I telegraphed you some tim? ago that
a li?t of clerks doomed for the official
guillotine had been made ont by (he War
Department authorities, and that at no
distant day, the victims wonld be sen?
tenced to execution. To-day, tho death
warrant was publicly announced, or at
least its existence became known, and
the number was so great as to startle
even the mont apprehensive among the
shakers and quakers. Think of over
four hundred clerks, at one dash of the
pen, deprived of their cosy little bertha.
That is the number. It is the largeat
batch nt one sweep ever doomed, per?
haps, nuder any administration. Secre?
tary Rawlins, it seems, decided upon the
step before leaving for Connecticut, and
seme of the to-be-removed officials de?
clare that he delayed the promulgation
of tho order purposoly until after his de?
parture, so that he might be spared the
appeals for re-instatemeut that would
naturally follow. Rawlins is a tender?
hearted mao, and could very poorly en?
dure such entreaties.
He would be sure to broak down and
cave in, if compelled to meet the storm
uf complaints and prayers that wonld bo
directed at him, consequently, he did
well to retreat to the repose of the Nut?
meg State, and leave his subordinates to
meet the moans and sighs and impreca?
tions. News of tho affair leaked out
sometime this morning through a clerk
who scoured a private perusal of the
order, ?and it may bo imagined that
there was soon u big sensation all over
tho dingy old War Office. Clerks were
noticed whispering to each other, at first
very quietly and mysteriously, then more
loudly, then they were observed dropping
out in groups into the corridors of the
building, and even iuto the streets, to
discuss the terrible mandate from the
martial Tycoon. Many faces that were
yesterday happy looking and smiling
were suddenly clouded with gloom and
sorrow. Io such cases, thor1) ure always
soino who will talk cheerfully.
"Well, my dear Jim, my trunks are
packed anyhow. No use cryiug, yon
know. Laugh and cheer up, old fel?
low."
"AU very well for you to talk, Joe;
3'ou haven't any family, but I have."
"PshawI I don't believe th? thing can
be carried ont; why, tho War Depart?
ment might as well be closed up ut once.
If that order is really executed, there
won't bo enough left to do the busi?
ness."
"Rawlins will suspend tho execution,
you may be sure. He cau't beso foolish
as to insist upon such au outrageous pro?
ceeding."
"It is not Rawlins' work at all. It's
the work of that d-d Army of the Re?
public. John A. Logan aud Jim Thayer
are at the bottom of it. I suspected they
were at some devilish trick when I saw
them hanging about here so much
lately." I
"That's why Rawlins went away, too.
Ile was forced in thc step, and then was
afraid to face the music."
In such ways did the olerks talk over
the matter among themselves. Their
customary resorts for liquids and solid
refreshments were deserted, and at least
two noted beer establishments in the vi?
cinity of the war office bad good reason
to bewail tho unpopular order. The
stamps were rarities iu those establish?
ments. Tho order is said to be substan?
tially as follows:
"Ordered, That the general service and
temporary clerks, and all other clerks
employed in this department and not au?
thorized by law, be discharged from and
after July 15, 1869, and that the same be
furloughed for thirty days, commencing
June 15, 1869."
The effect of this order ia to reduce
the foroe of the Adjutant-General's office
from 200 to about 65, and all the other
bureaus in about a corresponding style.
From the Quartermaster-General's office
83 will depart; another office will be cut
down from 140 to exactly one clerk; still
another, haviug 175 clerks, will be clean?
ed out completely-head, tail and body.
The pay department will suffer with the
rest. Among the dismissed undoubtedly
will be a great proportion of very effi?
cient men, who h ive not only fought,
bled, and become mutilated in the war,
but who have been true followers and
believers in tho most, radical tenets of the
Republican doctrine. One-legged and
one-armed f ,.diers are not eveu spared.
Indeed, it ia said while some of thc un?
touched offieials are competent, deserv?
ing i:nd reliable men, in every way, still
many more of them are old fossils and
ancient fogies, who havo done little else
for years but draw their pay. One of
the to-bo-removed clerks humorously re?
marked that nobody would be left except
tho antiquated ducks who daily wend
their way along a beaten track to and
from the War Department, and who, if
led off that track but e. few steps, would
be sure to lose their way. There are 8e
verul explanations of this extraordinary
movement given, but none of them offi?
cial. One is that ulready mentioned, to
wit, that the Grand Army of the Repub
lie, of which tho war-like Logan is the
big chieftain, occasioned the order, so
that by making a general sweep vacan?
cies wonld be created, into whioh the
tank and file of the Grand Army might
easily be conducted. Log m and Senator
Thayer are certainly credited with no
insignificant influence in procuring the
order.
LEAJIN A TRADE.-Of 13,496 prisoners
in the penitentiaries of thirty States, in
1867, according to the report of the
Prison Association just issued, 87 per
cent., moro than three-quarters, had not
learned a trade. This furnishes a text,
from which a most wholesome sermon can
bo preached.

INVKBTIO ATINO COMMITTSE.-A COm
mitt* appointed st the laat session of tho
Legisla turo to investigate all matter*
pertaining to the Congressional election
ot last fall, consisting of J. J. Wright,
Robert Small, R. B. Elliott, (colored,)
with Javan Bryant, George J. Mclntire,
Joseph Crews, (white;) W. J. Elter,
(colored,) being clerk, and J. A. Crews,
(white,) being messsonger, are now io
session in tho Court Honse of this Dis?
trict-and from intimations given will
likely be a month, at least, in session
here. A number of oar publie officers
Messrs. McDonald, Gason and Hill, aud
also Messrs. Jones, Lawson and others
have been already examined. Tho exa?
mination is entirely private, and the in?
vestigation covers, we learn, a very wide
field, and is conducted according to no
strict judicial roles. The committee is
partisan in character, aud partisan in its
objects, and we have nothing to expect
from thom. To make capital for the
party-and capital for themselves, (at the
rate of six dollars a day,) aro primary
controlling objects.-Abbeville Prcas.
"WHTTK."-Never before did the Rich?
mond papers put forth so many inquiries |
for white house-servants-chambermaids,
cooks, Ac. Why io this? We havo been
need to the colored servants-our people
have no prejudices against them-have
always been kind to them-understand
their mauner of work and their disposi?
tions-and can get nlong with them
remarkably well. Then, what's the mat?
ter?
We'll tell you :
This city bas been kept in turmoil for '
four solid years with every sort of sign j
and clamor of negro combination and
preparation in hostility to white people
For that is it! a hostility which seeks to '
take away from whites all right to hold
au office of trust and profit in the Go- '
vern mont, and to make them tax-payers
only, while tho negroes uud tue few
whites whose counsels they follow shall
hold all the offices, aud divide the spoils
ncoumnlated ont of the taxes paid by the .
ostracised whites.
This isa hostility so serious and so in- :
jurions that it could hardly bo more ab?
horrent if it threatened lifo itself. The
assailants aro obtrusive and clamorous.
Their barbarous shouts penetrate every
dwelling, and disgust or alarm every
white person in the city.
This is engendering aversion to the
colored people-a disposition to employ
whites with many people. It is gradu?
ally widening tho breach betweeu the
races, and it is no wonder.
Tho blacks aro to blame. What doos
their war on their ovru white people pro?
fit them? Wbnt will the plundering ad
venturers who mislead them do for them? j
What will compensate them for the !
wanton sacrifice of tho ki:id and gentle ;
relations which existed obtween them
and tho native whites of Virgiu: . who |
own tho land aud control tho employ- !
ment of tho labor in Virginia? Their
war is outrageously m.just and brutal,
and BO far from being necessary to their
security and happiness, must work in?
juriously to tho prosperity, order and
contentment of the community; and they
cannot bo happy or thrifty unless the
whole people aro harmonious and pros?
perous.-Richmond Dispatch.
NKW YORK FASHIONS.-A New York
letter gives the following fashion
hints:
"Dotted dresses aro fashionable, but
the dots must bo quite fine, and in black
or stone color ou a white ground, and
tho trimming is many narrow folds of
dark silk with a wide space between, and
one small bow without ends.
"Cambric wrappers of the fino thread
cross bars, now fancied in lilac, sea green
und bright colors, are sold ready-made
for six dollars at one of tho large houses
here. They aro loose, gored shape,
flounced, with rnftle up the front seams
and over tho shoulder; the material at
retail is forty cents a yard, and tho work
well done.
"Dresses of white, striped with black
in floe lines an inch apart, and trimmed
with the samo, are much worn for a
change, over black petticoats, with a sin?
gle deep flounce. A light yet striking
toilet for one so cheap is of black and
white solid stripes, in thin worsted ma?
terial, worth fifty cents a yard. The
gored underskirt is trimmed with two
puffs of black silk, the lowor ono three
inches from the edge.
"Speaking of linen suits, tho newest
are trimmed with two grudnated quilled
flounces bound in brown, with two quill?
ed ruches of the same, three inches wide
above the flounces, with rather a wide
interval. The basque is square iu the
neck, with quillings, the sleeve wide with
quilling at tho wrist, tho sash of brown
silk or linen simply bound with braid.
The grey linen is worn almost as much
as buff, and is preferred becanse it is
purer material. Linen suits ready made
are 810 to SIG.
"Rough straw hats aro the latest fancy
for young ladies, and nothing sets off a
simple toilet with nn air like one of them,
with wide band and long floating euds of
black ribbou, with Roman bar at tho end.
To be fashionable, one must not look for
a refined rongh straw, nn English, Milan
or pedal braid, bnt choose a genuine,
smooth, coarse braid, with none of tho
corners split in weaving, which give a
piiokly effect; biud the brim with black
ribbon, fold the same for a band, cross
and pin it behind, leaving onds three
quarters of a yard long. Tho Roman
bar is imitated by sewing a fold of gay
striped satin ribbon across tho ond of
the streamers. Hats for bloudes arc
bound and trimmed in bright blue,
without tho scarlet bar; but black is best,
for it snits any dress that can bo worn
with it. These hats arc especially suita?
ble to wear with linen or piquo suits.
They uro rather expensive pieces of sim?
plicity, for ono trimmed by n French
hand costs from $10 to %U."
Ono of tho recent "notions" in Chica'
go is a wbito hearse, which is described
as "attractive, not to say inviting."

TUB COURT OF COMMON PLBA? AND
G B?TER Ai SESSIONS.- After oearly three
weeks sitting, Judge Boozer has ad?
journed his court-the only business ac?
complished being a partial clearing of
tho criminal docket; that relating to the
Common Pleas and Equity having never
been reached. It is a commentary on
the luws under which we live, and the
manner in which they are administered,
that tho entire term of the court should
be absorbed in tho'disposition of cases;
involving every grado of crime, to the
total exclusion of those in which aro
represented tho property and interests of
nearly tho entire community. At the
preceding term, the business was con?
ducted in precisely the samo way, and
nuder similar conditions. In breaking
laws, as in the framing of them, negro
supremacy asserted itself, and Stoibrand
and the penitentiary gathered a rich
harvest from Judge Boozer's prisoners.
Wo feel justified iu expressing our just
and righteous indignation at the
thorough disregard of the important.in
teresls-interests so general, and so pe?
culiar-embraced in tho equity aud other
divisions of thc court. When it is stated
that to so mnuy of our citizen-), widows,
orphans and minors, a class of persone
specially helpless and dependent upon
the action of the court, tho determina?
tion of tho equity business was of thc
lust consequence, and a result with which
their maintenance and support was inti?
mately and closely conncctod, thu ab
sorb? n g of the entire tenn of the court j
does appear a hardship and a cruelty.
Judge Boozer, in recognition of this
state of things, has consented to hold un
extra term in August. That may be a j
partial relief, but the unfinished business !
in equity, accumulated by want of a pro- j
per tribunal to dispose of them, will pro-1
bably require more time than any judge
can well bestow. We want a separate
and distinct court to determine cases of j
crime; one which has, in its sitting, no !
connection with, or control of, other i
business than that of the criminal dock-li
et. The experiment lins been tried?
throughout tho entire State, nud we;
think it iu bounds to say with ono and !
tho samo result, viz: the criminal docket
utterly excluded the other branches of
tho court.
Tit is worthy of note that the ubiqui?
tous freedman ?3, in the majority of the
cases, tho chief and prominent nctortjAg
these little dramas of OBBOU, larcenyfjj
burglary; and surely it is not asking too
mnch of the State os it now stands, who
has conbidered tho negro in every other
relation, that it will do so in that of
crime, and provide a special judge and
court to determine the nature and extent
of bis guilt.
The valuable time and knowledge of
the entire bar has been employed in tho
gratuitous conduct of these criminal
cases, appointed by the Judge-each
aud all, from the veteran counsel to the
receut graduate, have courteously and
ably responded to the voice of tho court.
Even when, hy this unpnid labor, they
were debarred from prosecuting legiti?
mate causes in which their income and
support were nearly related. It is just
nnd proper that we should have a special
criminal court, and we deem the reasons
so cogent that wo feel assured they will be
sustained by tho bar aud general opinion
throughout tho whole State.
The Judge pronounced tho following
sentences:
Alfred Dawkins, colored. Bobbing a
train on the Greenville and Columbia
Railroad. Ono year in the Penitentiary.
John Dozier, a colored boy twelve
years old. Larceny. One week in jail.
Henry Scott, colored. Burglary and
larceny. Eighteen months in the Peni?
tentiary. This prisoner committed one
of tho most daring robberies that has
ever occurred in our city.
George Robertson. Stealing a game
chicken. Ono month in tho County
jail.
Wm. Avery, colored. Assault and
battery. Ono month's imprisonment in
jail.
J. T. Neely ard Chas. Parker. High?
way robbery. Two years in tho Peni?
tentiary.
Giles Pride, Robert Perrin, Jas. Wil?
liams John Thomas uud Spencer Hai
good, all colored. Ten years in tho
Penitentiary.
Edward Legare, colored. Malicious
trespass. To be imprisoned in tho
County jail, or pay 830.
B. F. Whittomore, representing tho
Second Congressional District in this
State, was, nftor an examination by a
committee consisting of ex-Judge H?ge.
W. Hutson Wigg nod J. H. Rankle, ad?
mitted to practico in tho courts of this
State.
The court thon adjourned until tho
third Monday in August, when tho cases
in equity will bo heard.
