COLUMBIA, S. C.
Thursday Horning, Joly 15,1869.
Gen. Frank Blair has been looking at
some of his brother officers. Farragut,
Sheridan, Huintzleman and some others,
through an inverted oporn-glass, the
lenses of which were the names of Lee
and Stonewall Jackson. It made these
gentlemen very angry. It ooourred in
thia woy: Last Friday, at Long Branch,
the "soldiers" of the "Army and Navy
of the Gall" were having a sort of pran?
dial re-union, and when Gen. Blair came
to speak, he spoke as follows:
"I feel greatly complimented by this
coll. It hardly boc jines mo to speak of
war, but inasmuch as wo are having a
general jollification in which the small
ones can enjoy themselves as muoh as
those of larger merit, I will say a few
words of the struggle which has just
ended, and I will speak one word of
those who have had no voice here to?
night. I will speak for a people who
were once our enemies; and I know that
when I speak for them before soldiers, I
speak before those who will heartily re?
spond. Those against whom wo con?
tended, whom we aspersed ns rebels, and
whom I think we triumphed over as well
for them as for ourselves. They were a
great and generous people; they were
worthy of the steel of our best. We hear
of Sheridan and Farragut herc to-uight;
but we shall yet hear of Lee and Stone?
wall Jackson. I Hisses, cries of 'Order!'
and great confusion.1 Who dissents?
[Many voices, 'We dissent!' 'Wo nil dis?
sent!' 'Think of Andersonville and Lib?
by Prison!'] It would be little morit for
us to have triumphed over a mean ene?
my. [Loud cries of 'Ordor!' 'Sit down!'
4Dry up!J I admit that they wero mis?
guided; I speak of them ns our adversa?
ries. [Cries of 'Traitors!'] Gen. Blair
paused for a moment; then, looking nil
ever the room, said, Aro there no voices
to bo rai sod for them? [Cries of 'Yes,
yes!' 'No, no!' and 'They were trait?
ors Pl
"At this juncture Admiral Farragut
said he thought tho speaker should be
allowed the right to go on.
"Gen. Blair-I do not claim a right to
speak; I am here by courtesy.
"A voice-I call the gentlemnu to
order.
"Admiral Farragut-I think the point
well taken, inasmuch as wo meet here
for social enjoyment ; auything which is
clearly against the wishes of the majori?
ty and tends to disturb tho general har?
mony, is deoidedly out of order.
"Gen. Blair bowed respectfully aud
good humoredly, and sat down."
General Blair, in a uoto to the World,
replies to Che radical papers who allego
that he insulted the military association
of tho officers of tho army of the Gulf
in his speech at their recent meeting. Ho
says:
"I was urged to attend their meetiug
and banquet, aud declined to do so until
a further refusal would have appeared
childish. I was appointed to respond to
ono of the regular toasts, and refused to
do so. My reluctance to attend or speak
at the banquet grew out of the appre?
hension that these army re-uuious wero
being used as radical stalking horses.
The result justiiied tho suspicion, which
cannot be tortured into auything but a
compliment to our gallant soldiers, was
eagerly seized by a portion of those pre?
sent aud made the occasion of a great
and indecent insult to au invited guest.
"I do not intend to wound the feelings
of those who had honored me with nu
invitation to participate iu their festivi?
ties; on the contrary, it was n compli?
ment to our army to speak well of those
over whom our army had triumphed, as
'foemeu worthy of our steel.' My in?
tention and meaning could only have
been perverted by men who had been
taught by such heroes as Butler to relish
a different kind of steal."

CAMDEN, S. C., June 30, 1869.
Afr. J. A. Selby-DEAS SIB: I see In
the PHOENIX, of tho 17fch inst, proceed?
ings of the Ciij Council os published a
report of the couiniitteu on a claim that
I had presented to be paid. I know that
foll justice is not done me iu that report;
therefore yon will please give room in
your paper und publish the following:
Messrs. John Agnew. Edward Hope and
W. T. Waller:
I hare read your report on my account
as published in PHGSMX, of 17th inst.
Now, I know that you have not giveu
me justice. I was in tho employment of
the City Council of Columbia for eight?
een years, and Chief of Police niuo or
ten years of that timo. My salary was
raised but very little during tho war.
Before the war it was $800 annually; and
when I was elected the last time, nothing
was said to mo about what kiud of cur?
rency I was to bo paid in; neither was
the Confederate money over presented to
me for that claim. If it wus tho objeot
of the Council to procure tho services of
an officer for notliing, from the fact that
it was an exemption from military ser?
vice, why did they not mnko that propo?
sition-for I don't doubt that they would
havo had plenty of applications; but
whether they would havo filled tho place
properly, is auothor matter. If you don't
know, I do, that I never sought the po?
sition to screen me from the war; and it
is also very certain that I never claimed
foreign protection or sought aa office in
tho quartermaster's department for the
purpose of speculation. I ask, now,
how many *>l your committee shouldered
your muskets aud went to the front. If
there was anything wrong in my account,
like mistake iu calculation or dates,
figures, ?ce., and you bad confined your?
selves to it in thut respect, simply as n
business matter, it would be a different
thing; but, as it stauds. I say that your
report is not called for, and out of place.
One of your committee has already told
mu that he said, before signing tho re?
port, that ho could sign it, but that hu
did not believo it to be right. You say
that my services ended the 17th Febru?
ary, 1865. I can provo that I was per?
forming duties up to the 20th March,
1865, at which time I was taken down
with typhoid fever. Neither was I ever
discharged, nor did I resign. I consi?
dered my services to terminuto about tho
end of Dr. T. J. Goodwyn's Mayorship,
which I behove was about tho 1st of
July, 18G5. JOHN BURUELiL.
A STRANGE DEATH.-Mrs. Stephens,
mother of J. W. Stephens, of Yancey ville,
our Senatorin tho Legislature, was found
Wednesday evening of last week a lifeless
corpse in her room, with her throat cut,
apparently by falling with her neck ou
au earthen ,bowl, a rimmed vessel, that
broke in two pieces and cut her throat -
severing the jugular veinas if cut by a
knife, and breaking her neck bone. Mr.
Stephens was absent at the time, holding
"loyal league" meetings, nnd telling the
negroes who they must vote for as town?
ship candidates; and must have boen
greatly "alarmed" when a messenger
knocked at Sam Allen's (a free negro's)
door that night, and disturbed his sweet
reposo while pillowing his head on one
of Sambo's downy beds, and telling him
of thc mysterious death of his poor old
mother that lived with him. We cannot
believe it possible that this "bowl," or
whatever you call it, cut that old lady's
throat-if tho bowl broke into two or !
more pieces, would not the concussion j
dash the fragments from the throat in?
stead of pressing them to tho throat
firmly enough to cut her head almost
half off? And yet it was done in broad
day-light, while tho family was down
stairs, and no Ku Kluxes were Been
about; but we advise Mr. Stephens to
send to Raleigh for Gov. Holden's
"melish," and let them search for Ku
Klux-for if 'the old lady did not com?
mit suicide, wo fear there is "something
rotten iu the State of Denmark." Send
for the melish. Let it bo certain that
no Ku Klux were under tho bed when
tho colored woman ran up-stairs, upon
tho children giving the alarm, und
throwing tho fragments of tho reputed
fatal vessel out at a window ero any one
else got to tho scene of blood. We aro
not apprized of the verdict of tho in?
quest, but learn that two physicians give
it as their opinion that the catting was
not done by tho vessel in question.

Tlie Armies of the Great Power*.
A recent number of Blacktcood's Ufa'
gazine discusses, ia some forty columns,
tbe organization of the armies of the
great powers, and affords information as
to their present condition worth con?
densing iuto readable lim.ts.
The North German army is raised out
of a population of 30,009,000. It con?
sists of 300,000 regulars, 350,000 re?
serves, and a landwehr or drilled militia
of 370,000-making a grand total of
1,020,000 men. This force is raised by
an annual conscription of 100,000. ' The
conscripts, drawn at about twenty years
of age, serve for three years as regulars,
then pass into the reserves for four years,
aud th??, after five years' service in the
landwehr, aro finally discharged-having
served twelve years. This is the peace
footing. When war breaks out, each
battalion of 500 men is doubled by tho
same number drawn from tho reserves.
The laudwehr then undertakes the re?
serve duties of garrisoning fortresses and
keeping up communications, thus libe?
rating the whole of tho regular troops
for field service.
Austria musters a total force of 1,053,
000 out of a population of 30,000,000.
Tho army consists of 235,00J regulars,
545,000 reserves, 53,000 frontier troops,
and a landwehr of 200,000. Each year
97,000 conscripts are drawn. These con?
scripts servo threo years in tho regular
army, seven in tho reserves, and two in
the landwehr, and then, like their North
Gorman neighbors, ure discharged, hav?
ing served twelve years. Of tho young
men of military age (twenty to twenty
one) in each year who are not drawn,
the bulk are assigned to the laudwehr,
where they serve twelve years. The re?
mainder have no military duty to per?
form. lu case of hostilities, tho war
footing is reaohed by each regiment re?
calling from its own reserve the required
nnmber of men, the landwehr succeed?
ing to all garrison and guard duty, ns in
North Germany.
Russia bas receutly ro-organized bei
army upon the North German system.
Out of a population of 07,000,000, an
army of 700,000 is maintained, which, in?
case of war, can be raised to 1,200,00C
by recalling the men on furlough. She
draws 100,000 conscripts annually from
the young men between twenty-one ano1
thirty years of nge, who aro enlisted foi
fifteen years, but one-half the time or
furlough.
France holds that the "Empire ii
pence," with -100,000 regular troops, 100,
1)00 foot and 228,000 second reserves
and a Garde Mobile of 330,000, makin;:
in all au army of 1,058,000, ont of t
population of 37,500,000. Each yeal
tho conscription takes 100,000 men o
about twenty-one years of age. Of tbosi
70,000 go at once into runks for fiv<
years, and thou pass for four into tb?
second reserve, and aro then discharged
The second portion, or 30,000 remaining
constitute tho first reserve. Tbej' ari
sent back to their homes, and are drillet
five mouths during tho first two years
but remain enrolled in tho reserve with
out peace duty for soven years longer
All tho young men of military age who
in each year, are not drawn as conscripts
are enrolled in thc Garde Mobile, an<
receive not more than fifteen drills o
one day each during tho year. The wa
footing draws on tho two reserves in sue
cession, and places the Garde Mobile oi
guard at the fortresses and Hues of com
munication.
Great Britain's army, including tb
forces in India, is estimated at 188,00
regulars, 130,000 regular reserve, nn
181,000 last reserve. Of tho first rc
serve all except 2,000 regulars aro per
sioners and militia, while the lastreserv
is made up of 11,000 yeomanry and 170,
000 volunteers. The British army r<
cruits 14,000 annually, out of ? pop?
latiou of 29,000,000. These recruits c
course go into tho regular army, whei
they serve twelve years. The reserve
being, with tho exception of tho pei
sioners, little more than voluntary o:
gauizations under tho patronage of th
Government.
North Germany withdraws from indu:
try ono in 300 of her population, au
maintains a regular anny of 300,00J, i
an annual expenso of 848,000,000. Au:
tria takes from industrial pursuits one i
370, and koeps 308,01)0 men in tho heh
at an annual cost of $41,000,000. Ru
sia takes from industry one in 0G0 of he
people, and keeps 700,000 troops afieh
nt a cost of 8105,000,000. France, I
drawing one in GOO of tho peoplo, kee]
400,000 regulars nlwuys ready, anel pa;
070,000,000 for tho army. Great Brita
draws but ono in 2,000 from prodnctioi
and keeps but 188,000 regular troops, i
a yearly cost of $71,000,000.
Tho writer maintains that tho ems
force of Great Britain woultl provo min
moro effective with modern weapoi
than the troops of the continent, becau
the English troops are moro thorough
trained in the use of improved arms. fJ

Skedaddling.
This is not a very elegant, but still a
significant word, of American manufac?
ture. We believe the ua? of it is sane?
tioned by that great Yankee authority,
Koah Webster, to whom many Americans
bend the knee, simply for tba reason
that he is an American lexicographer,
but who han vulgarized the English lan
, by the introduction of many bad
into his dictionary, and thus in?
flicted a blow upon the purity of the
English tongue, whose effects will bo felt
till his parti-colored work is snperceded
by one of standard authority that shall
respect the President's or Emperor's
English.
The word in question embraces a wide
scope, j C-icero, to express its whole
meaning, employs four words, in de?
scribing the inoflus operandi by which
Catnline loft Rome, under tho terrors of
his eloquence-abiit, evasii, excessif, em*
pit-t. e. ho bas gone, he has escaped
from our grasp, bo has loft the gates of
Rome behiud hiu., he has run away as if
tho Furies were on his track. Had the
classical taste of the orator permitted
him to say in Latin, ns we do in English,
Cat al i nc has skedaddled, he would have
reached the climax in a step, which he
has uow obtained by four bounds.
We have copied this concise mode of
expressing our thoughts from the In?
dians. Civilization, with all its graces,
bas committed this invasion into the ter?
ritory of Indian literature. "Thou who
not loved by me," six words in English,
is but ono in the Indian dialect. Wo
have been urged into conciseness, al?
though wo have sometimes fallen into
abruptness, by our desire to imitate our
barbarous neighbors in this particular.
We have invented words with a view to
brevity, and in order to save time, which
is exceediugly valuable in a free country
and au utilitarian ago. Were wo to say
that the white clerks, under the rule of
the negro postmaster, Turner, at Macon,
have sloped, we employ an Americanism
which is intelligible enough; but when
we say they havo skedaddled, wo- meau
that they have gone off in a hurry, with
mercurial footsteps-that their motion
has been quickened into flight. They
Eroceeding with the speed of Lot wheu
e fled from Sodom.
We pity these clerks. Pap is always a
sweet morsel-so sweet that they aro apt
to cling to it with a kind of death grasp.
We may bo sure that something horrible
-something quite intolerable-hus hap?
pened when they voluntarily relinquish
it. A negro ruler over white clerks, with
tho Caucasian elemeut bounding in their
veins, is certainly u moustrosity moro to
be deprecated, in an age when certain
social distinctions are, or should be, re?
cognized, thau the loss of oflice-an of?
fice with a fixed salary, or one with per?
quisites attached, ufibrding a iiuo play
to the imagination or tho fingers.
. No ono now doubts what is tho Presi?
dent's programme-radicalism of the
blackest dye-a feeble and fluctuating
Cabinet, and a largo scopo for dictation.
In maintaining executive supremacy, the
General will have to arm himself cap-a
pie, and prepare, at once, for a stout
fight with tho House of Representatives,
who, having played first fiddle so long,
arc not prepared to acknowledge the
claims of any now pretender to musical
honors.-New Orleans limes.
A DIVORCE SUIT EXTRAORDINARY.-The
Troy Pr?ts says that a divorce suit is
about to be commenced in that city,
based on most extraordinary grounds.
It seems that for several months past a
young man in that city has been a boarder
in the family of aman living in the lower
part of the city. There was a girl living
m the family-a daughter-to whom the
young man paid some attentions, escort?
ing her to the, theatre and to church on
one or two occasions. There had,'how?
ever, been no love-mnkiug on either part.
Some two weeks ago, the father of tl^
young lady came suddenly into the roam
where she and her mother were sitting,
and said to her: "Go and get ready; you
aro going to get married in an hour."
The mother confirmed the stntoment,
and told her to go and get a lady friend
of hors, living near, to stand up with
her. The girl asked to whom she was to
bc married. The father answered, "To
Henry" (the boarder before mentioned.)
The girl took it as a joke, and
wont and got her friend. When she
came back, a minister was present, and
in less than ten minutes she was a wife.
Sho now seeks relief from the marital

parents were in earnest, that sho did not

SUDDEN DEATHS.-Mr. Isaac Hope, a
young Euglishmnn, who has been in this
couutry only a few months, and was liv?
ing with Mr. John Davis, died very sud?
denly, yesterday. It seems that he had
a slight touch of sun stroke, a week or
two ngo, and had abo been suffering with
diarrhoea for several days. Yesterday
morning, he went out to attend to some
farm duty, but complained of feeling
very unwell, aud returned to his room.
His nou-appearance attracted attention, I
and after unsuccessful efforts had been
made to arouse him, an entrance was ef?
fected through the window, when it was
found that life was extinct.
We leam that Sergeant George King,
of Company H, 8th U. S. Infantry, died
suddenly, yesterday morning, from the
? effects of heat-taken in connection, it
is supposed, with nu excessive use of sti
mnlants. He was buried with military
honors in the afternoon.
SUADE TREES.-Shado trees are not
only beautiful, but they are useful as
well as ornamental. We should have
more trees in Columbia; in fact, every
street, moro or less, should be shaded
by them. They would not only render
the city more beautiful, but would also
afford comfort, these hot, sultry days, to
pedestrians. An exchange, in speaking
of the same, says:
"It is no exaggeration to ?tate that
building lots, in front of which tho
owner hus planted elms or other thrifty
trees, will sell for ten per cent, more
than adjoining lots without such trees.
It therefore pays to set out shade trees,
to say nothing of the comfort and em
belishment they afford. Hundreds of
citizens would have trees, if it were not
considered troublesome to look up par?
ties who furnish saplings aud undertake
the planting. Many never think of the
matter at the right time. Any ono en?
gaged in tho business would obtain nu?
merous orders by canvassing the city for
that purpose."

It is said that the proprietors of the]
celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS rent no]
less than nine pews from the different
denominations in New York city for all
those of their employees who will occupy
them regularly, free of charge. This is
certainly praiseworthy, and it is to be
hopeel that others who employ a large
number of people will follow the exam?
ple. The above fact, acoompauied with
the belief that a firm who would look ?o
closely after the morals anel welfare of
their exployees, would not undertake to.
impose upon the public, has induced us!
to give the PLANTATION BITTERS a trial,1!
and having found them to bo all that is
represented, we cordially recommend
them us a tonic of rare merit.
