brief space of tim*-towards restoring
fr?pd feelings, 'fraternity and felloWahip
between the two sections Of a common
country than all the reconstruction elo?
quence of political partisans delivered
during these past' ten years -a period
which you sO truly siiy should have
been sub libethterqitfetant}.'
Your, words in-reference to Federal sol?
diers- are equally applicable to the Con?
federate soldiers, for they, too, "have a
prejudido intfavrir of pence/' and I fully
agrpe vfifch iyo^k^aabstriasnj the sol?

snob,a felicitous companionship of sen?
timent could have found * resting place
in the hearts of other classes of people,
the, rehabilitation of -the South would
long since have neon assured. Its speedy
redemption from poverty and desolation
would nave followed, apd onco more, as
in years ago, the North would have had
the aotivo co-operation of the South in
working out a glorious destiny for the
republic j The science of government
has been but; little understood by those
who, holding the reins of power since
the war, have sacrificed public prosperi?

By carefully fostering the "meaner
men for whom power is only a synonym
for plunder," because, having abandoned
principle.'for expediency, they could be
added to party strength; by counselling
harsh pleasures towards pecstrate citi?
zens to gratify an unworthy vengeance;
by refusing to listen to the voice of an
UOpoTorished people, accepting the re?
sult o/, a, trial ot >rms ,and asking to re?
sume a condition of peace and subordi?

As in, the hi\m?a body the soundness
or decay of & limb will*in time 'extend
to and correspondingly affect the wholo
person, so must ^tho political body be
touched and moved by the condition of
its component parts. Therefore, when

hearts' of the people that more perfect
union which the founders of the republic
intended, and to which we, the descend?

Air Old Mam's Mkmobies.?In Dec em- j
bor, 1886, I met the celebrated Charles i
Carroll, of Carrollton. The Partridge j
Cadeto were passing thx
on their march from
nectsout, to Washington

said captain Partridge. ' 'And j
replied Mr. Carroll, "I see the <
of my country." He -was a little, .
man, dressed in a brown surtoat, and in
[.appearance to be quite active for a per
son of his age. On our arrival at Wash?
ington we were marobed to the White
House and introduced to the President,
John Qninoy Adams. Ha received us in
the parlor, and .was very quiet and
sedate, and no ode could have imagined
that he would subsequently flash forth,
in 1844, as the moat acrimonious mem-1
ber of the House of Representatives.r I
We were next introduced to the Vice
President, John C. Oalhoun. What a
contrast! He came out to us on the
street, walked along the line shaking
hands, and asking the name of each
cadet as he took his hand Ho was the
most popular statesman with young men
who ever lived. He visited Mount Vor
non in company with many army and
navy officers. Here I hoard General
Samuel Smith, the leader of the famous
Maryland line, deliver a speech, when
standing on the tomb of Washington.
The greatest orator that America baa pro?
duced since Patrick Henry, was. his
nephew, William Campbell Preston, of
South Carolina. 1 heard him speak in
the winter 'of 1837, on the "Michigan
question," when he took the Senate by
storm. But the most fascinating and
delightful speaker I ever heard was the
celebrated Robert Y. Hhyne, whose
speech on Foote's resolution was a mas?
ter-piece. General Jackson, the Presi?
dent, wrote a letter of congratulation to
him, stating that he intended to have his
speech bound up with the works of Jef?
ferson; and the merchants of Boston.bad
it printed on satin, which they sent to
him up'-a token of their esteem, for bi?
triumph "over Webster. And yet one wirl
hear even Southern men talk about Web?
ster having worsted Hayne in "the great |
debatel"
The song called "Johnson's Wife of
Louisiana,' which is a parody on Boy's
Wife of Aldavalla," was written by
Warren Ransom Davis. I once asked
tho Vico-President, Wm. R. King, if
there was any truth in the line: "The
Inca's blood flows in her veins;" he re
{>lied that it was merely fancy. It will
>e remembered that Johnson was a
Senator in Congress from Louisiana
about the year 1854. This same Davis
also wrote the book called the "Life of
David Crockett," which was so popular
thirty years ago. When Gen. Jackson,
the President, issued his celebrated
proclamation against the South Carolina j
nulliflers, Davis made a speech, de- j
nouncing and ridiculing him, saying,
among other sarcastic remarks: "If the
old gentleman must be amused, let us
give him a te-to-tum." The remark en?
raged Jackson, who said: "I will nuke a
te-to-tum of bis d?d traitorous head."
I once heard Gen. Robert Y. Hayne |
say, in 1832, "that Jackson had recently
written a letter to Calhonn?this was
after their quarrel?and said that, as he
was preparing facts for history, he would
request him to answer the series of in?
terrogatories enclosed with the letter.
If any man foamed with rage," said
Hayne, "it was Jackson when ho re?
ceived Calhoun's reply. It was so scath?
ing and contemptuous." By-the-way,
two fools, Parton and Bancroft, have
stated in their "Lives of Jackson," that
he was a North Carolinian, when Jackson
himself says in his proclamation that he
was a native of. South Carolina. This
statement will be found near the con?
clusion of that celebrated document

Geographical Society of Paria have, dur?
ing several years, awarded medals for
Arctic discovery to Englishmen and
Americans. .This year they honor with
the Roquetto prize?a gold medal-the

American laureate explorers, 1858 to Dr.
E. K. Kane, of the second Grinnell oxpo

his famous boat journey in the frozen

Maite Brun, Vice-President of the Geo-1

the illustrious geographer and encyclo?

and zeal in the oncouragement of all
worthy explorers, says: "I have the

it is true, Is no more; but this is nO
reason that we should forget him. The
medal will be sent to his family, as was

At Galveston, Texas, on Saturday last,
ground was broken for the construction
of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Bail
road, which will join the International
and Great Northern Road at Houston,
and reach, by a series of connections,
some of which remain to be built, far
up into the South-western country to?
wards the Pacific slope. This project is
considered' of great importance to Gal?

Texas has been growing at a better rate

it has shown is a guarantee that the con?

Since the Democrats came into power
in Alabama, the credit of the State is
rising and the reputation of the govern?
ing authority there is becoming more
savory. They have accomplished some
reforms and taken steps to bring about
others. .About the first work of the Le
f;islature was to pass an honest election
aw, which, while making no discrimina?
tion against Radical voters and fixing no
qualification of property, education or
t poll-tax, was skillfully framed to pre?
vent in future the election frauds which
havo been thscurse of the .State during
the past few years. This secures fair
elections, and a Democratic administra?
tion will be a possibility in the future.

We find the following in the last num?
ber of the Turf, Field and Funn. Per
i haps some of our Spartanburg. friends
can give further particular* of this horse:
?. E. T., Pennsylvania. - There was a
horse that stood ill this County after the
, late war called Spartan Chief. He was
I captured at Spartanburg, B. C., by tho
Fifteenth Pennoylvaniativslry, of which
I was n member, and rnrrtSghi North by
Gen. Palmer. The following pedigree
was given him by his owner, who camo
up after him: Was called BuH Dogus in
the South, Sarad feWMW o* Ven
oke, he by iarp^l^^^^^^k^^Ai^of
The Tournamxnt YxsvxbrsJPf^Cmr co
lored fellow-citizens, m a general thing,
made y^b*ter>day..a> holiday, and a good
tfime they had of it, too?an old-fashionod
iMurth^of Shily flblik The sidewalks
uSkl all Jaeo|hHibletelevated points were
cimml. dkkes, flies and pindars were
nrancheTl, and ice 'cream, soda water and
lemonade disposed of with gusto; judg?
ing from appearances, very little of the w1
extract of cum and rye Uuucb. to their
credit, be it said,) was deemed necessary
to the enjoyment of the day.
About 10 o'clock, a procession .was
formed and marched through Richard?
son and Some of the other principal
streets, in the following order: Band of
the 18th Infantry. The Enterprise Fire
Company, Captain Henry E. Hayne.
This machine was very handsomely deco?
rated, while many of the members car?
ried bouquets and wreaths. On the en?
gine was a very prettily-arranged flow?
ery temple, within which was seated a
little girl, personating the "Ooddess of
Liberty." The Ashley No. 9, of Charles?
ton, Cant Harrison, followed; their ma?
chine being profusely decorated with
the flowery .offerings of their female
friends. Then cam a the Chtoora Band,
xhe Union Star, Capt. nobertaon, wna
next on docket They wheeled not only
a serviceable-looking, but very gaily-de?
corated machine. The 'Charleston Cor?
net Band cams next The Vigilant,
Capt Denniaon, now appeared, so com?
pletely covered with evergreens and
flowers as to be scarcely recbgnicable.
The drag-ropes of each machine were
well manned?a determined-looking set
of firemen.
A line was then formed and the com?
panies were inspected by Capt a. W. B.
Stanley and J. C. Sutphen and ' Assist?
ant Chief -, of Charleston. The
ornaments were then stripped from the
machines and the men doffed their coats,
preparatory to the ??run/'the following
being the conditions: Each company to
run a distance of 800 yards, play through
ttfty feet of hose fifty feet, reel up and
clear the ground, whibh wiH bo fifty feet
beyond the fifty feet played. The tank
and judges' stand used by the whites,
last week, were brought into requisition,
and everything being in readiness, the
signal was given, and Off started the Ash?
ley machines, and when time was called,
it was found that they had mads 2.0?.
The Union Star made a fine run and
plav off, but the reel was slow, sad they
made 2.20. The Enterprise scored 2.07}.
The Vigilant had a misunderstanding as
to tho reel, and were allowed to run it
over, which they did in 2.00.
, Distance was then played in the same
order, and resulted as follow*: Ashley,
165 feet, through an inch norale; Union
Star, 144; Enterprise declined to play,
on account of previous niis anders tend?
ing; Vigilant, 136.11. The Judges were:
Starting- Assistant Chief Sntphenv H.
W. Purvis and C. M. Wilder;Time
Chief W. R Stanley, C. J. Carroll and
Capt J. L. Little. The prises were then
Presented to the suoeessful companies
'he Ashley received the siver-ware for
visiting company; the Vigilant- that for
the Columbia. In the distance oontest,
wherein all were to participate, the1 Vigi?
lant also took the premium. It We*
generally remarked that the affair was
admirably managed, andth* psu-t4eipante,
considering all the circumstance, unusu?
ally orderly. The visitors return BOme
to-day. * m
