'ISSED THEIR CHANCE.
iug of the mrck trial of Moses,
Vri and Courier has this to say concern
ing "the loading Radicals who prate of Re
form
. "Perhaps ?t Is best as it is ! Chamber
lain,'EHiett, Melton andtba reet of the lead
ing Radicals who prate of Reform had ao
opportunity to prove their sincerity by forc
ing the conviction and trial of their quon
dam associates, whom they denounce in pri
vate in unmeasured terms and whom they
cannot believe to be innocent. They have
missed their chance, and have linked their
fortunes with those of the indicted Governor.
Down he miwt and will go ; down to dis
grace. And with hiip then, a? now, will be
found the pharisaiean politicians who serve
him so faithfully and well."
A TRIP ON THE WATE REE.
There wos, on Thursday lout, an excur
sion up Lh? Wateree on the steamer Lil?
lington, Capt. Rush, in which a number of
our cititens participated. Wc were not pres
ent onrselvos, but understand from a friend
that it was altogether a'very pleasant affan.
The party took boat just above the new
bridge, about nine o'clock in the morning,
with the sun somewhat shaded by light
clouds, and a delightful breeze ; moving
up stream to the head of na\igation
?Graves' Ford, seven miles up the riv
er and about a mile Aovc Chestnuts' Ferry,
past the old boatyard, and the*warehouse
established by the well known enterprise of
Capt. Parker. After going as far up as was
safe to do, on ooeount of the shoal*, the boat |
was made fast, and some two or three of the
stock-holders took the yawl, and pulled *ip
to ike shoals themselves?looking out. .we
believe, for a vayvround thou, so as to open
up navigation to the fine stretch of river
that runs up into the liberty Hill country.
Those left upon the boat consoled themselves
it appears, satisfactorily, during the ab
sence of the party up stream, by makingj
use of varions appliyces, heretofore con
oealed in boxes, baskets and possibly a jug
or two, and then the deliclotuly clear, oool,
running water suggested to so mo one a
"bath," and soon the river was filled with
a splashing croud, that made up quite a
soene ; and if their backs had been copper
colored, instead of white, it would have re
peated a picture, that was often, fee have
no doubt, made at the same spot, long be
fore the white man knot the country ; for
it seemed especially adapted for an Indian
bathing plaee.
On the return of the yawl, the boat drop
ped down to "Psrker's Landing," wherein
a shady spot a tablo was spread; . covered
with a meal calculated to have stimulated
appetite, if It had not already existed ; and
wo are willing to certify, although upon
hearsay evidence, that ample justice was
done to the same. After dinner and a very
pleasant time, enlivened by free intercourse
and exchangafcf sentiment, and much good
feeling, the party turned down stream and
landed "all right" again it the bridge get
t'ng home in good time, and in good con
dition. ?

Orangeburg a few days ago, v?hatihe Orand
Jury i&dkUd P. J. Moeee k J. L. Humbert
for stealing $6000.
I now propose lo give yon a brief sketch
of the preceding* of today. * j>
The oaae wae opened by Rellotor Butts, who
demanded that the prisoners be brought into
Court. Moeee and Humbert were then
loudly called for, but there wee of course
"no anawor." -V&W
Moeee' oounael then roee tossy ia aething,
hut Butts objected, u their client was not
rven in the Court Hoi ee. They howevtr
oont ended that Mo. es wae as much in oourt
ae the Governor oould be, and the Ikree woe
continue*! hf there being allowed lo
oeed. ? . . ,
Mr. Moiee, Moms' legal advleer then made
a brilliant speeoh, whlah wsa trory where

sueplslsa that they were both either aeham- ,

H? turned the laugh so rep?atedly Mil so
adroitly upon Elliott. that at time* it was al
most tapo*a:ble for lit* officer* of the court
to kMp order.
He proved in Uit clearest manner p tsibl*
that tub law and not thi orrtcsa is su
preme, and that the Governor caa be legally
brought to trial at once.
However, Judge Graham r*"eerre<l his de
cision. whieh of course means an indefinite
postponement, and in all probability an en
tire dismissall of the whole matter.
Beta were made ia profusion that the
Judg? would dweideagainst the jurisdiction
of the court in the matter, but no ono could
be found bold enough to take them up.
We are certainly in a sad plight if the
officer, the croat ure of the law, is to be thu*
placed above the law itself.
A very pertinent question suggests itself
In this case, and it i* this :
if Moses was innoceut would be not na
turally waive all constitutional or legal bar
riers, and present himself at once for trial,
in order to obtain a speedy viniicotion?

OUR COLUMBIA LETTER.
Columbia, 8. C., Mar 29th.
Dxak Qazeit e.?A long time has elipsed
sine? I wroto you last. Then fierce Winter
wm Terming into gentle Spring ; now the
heat of the warm, sultry ilnys of Summer is
nearly upou us, and already it is unpleasan
tly warm.
Business is virtually at a h=tanJ-?till. All
classes of our people complain bitterly of the
hard times and tbe scarcity of money. In
fact, money is scarcer now than I have ever
known it to be before ; and*the prospects for
the Summer mouths look very gloomy in
deed.
Columbia is having her full share of pleas
sure and eujoymcnt. I'icnics are the order
of the day ; and, since the balmy month of
May was ushered in, scarcely a Hay has pas
sod but what crowds of pleasure-seekers, old
and young, have been making the air rever
berate with their glad shouts as they pass by
on their may to somo cool, refreshing spot
designed by nature.
Our ciiy is being rapidly rebuilt. The
?pots which, a few short j-cars ago, were
corcrdd with ashes and charred and blacken
?d timbers, have given plaec to fino and
?lately mansions. Tho new Methodist
Church In course oTerection, when comple
ted , wil^be the finest in the city.
Although the temperance crusade has not
be*n inaugurated here, yet the causoof teui
auce is steadily gaining ground ; and there
are many homes around us who bless the
day, three years ago, when the banner of
temperance was unfurled to the breeze in
Columbia.
About 2 e'clock on Sunday morning last,
the alarm of fire was sounded, and it wus
discovered that one of the ancient houses 01
Columbia, was in flames. It was known as
the "Oibbee House," and was noted as the
residence of Governors Pickens atrd Mag
rath. It was ownod by-SenatoijAndrews.

PRECAUTIONS AGAIXST DROUGHT.
As drongl^ is one of the greatest olista
cles with which the Southern farmer has to
^contend, too much thought can hardly be
given to the subject, with a new view to
counteracting its disastrous efrect*. We
cannot, by any means now known, prevent
the dry and heated terms to which ou*-?li
mate is subject, and we again call the atten
tion of our readers to the importance of se
curing, so far as possible, such oondttlons of
the soil as will in the highest possible degree
fit it for the ubso^xion and retention of
moisture. Care.vil experiments' should be
made with a viow determine what are the
beat means to enable Mr crops to resist long
continued dryuoss. Sau, * t-p dressing
*??? ^7 sandy land, is one otu? means with
in our rtach to mltigat* aridity. J. J. Me
chi, speaking of tho value of salt as a top
dressing for such land, says : "About five
o'olock one fine summer's morning, I noticed
thai where the salt had been sown the pre
vious day, every grain of salt had attrictod
to itself the tew, and ^med on tho surfaflb
of the ground a wet spo^ about the size of a
sixpence, the ground baitff' gonerally very

A correspondent of the Beaufort Stand
ard and Commtrrial, a staunch Republican
piper, nominates Judge John J. Niaber for
Governor, and says "every Republican who
knows him will feel confident that the rights
of the poorest and most ignorant would be
safe in his hands, and every Conservative
would be equally sure that the interests of
taxpayers would be in the hands of an hon

THE GRANGE AND POLITICS.
The Indianapolis Journal has evidently
become alarmed at the popularity with which j
the proposition to organ!zo the termers of
the West into a new party is being received
and it i9 more especially conccrned about j
Indiana. It admits that "the Democrats )
are. of course, anxious lor a new deal, and J
not a few honest Rcpubltcans seem disposed |
tothink the old party needs chastening."
The grangers are advised to ' control tho
politics of tho country through existing par
tie."." and those of Iudiaua are assured that
"if the farmers nominate a third ticket, the
result will be to throw the State into the
han is of the Democracy," The convention |
of grangers meets on the 10th proximo, aad
from present appearances, it is likely to
uominatc a third ticket.

field they might retrieve the battlo which '
ought never been fought. Opposed to '
them was the tower of the British army, '
oommauded by the ablest General thoy
had sent 'c America, the bravo Corn
waliis?That General saw that unices
DeKalb and Gist oould be driven from
the fi^Jd, the struggle might be prolon
ged until nightfall, and an ominous cloud
began to gather in their frout. DeKalb
knew that if the cowardly militia had
but stood their ground, aud kept Web
ster employed, the battle might have
beon won ; but they had left him at lib
erty to join with (Joruwallis and hurl
their united forces upon those firm ranks
which alone sustained the day.
The brav??^j man had left his coun
try with Lafayette, actuated by the de
sire of being serviceable to his follow
man. He knew well that the battle
ought to have been delayed?that the
army was not ready for action?but the
overweening ambition and pride of Gates
had forced him headlong to destruction.
Charles l.ee's *words, addressed to
Gates when ho heard that he had been
appointed to the command of the South
ern array, were prOphetict, when he said
'?Take care that you do not exchange
Northern laurels for Southern willows."
He sawv too late, that ha had eommit
cd a grave mistake, and it must be said
that he behaved gallantly when all was
lost. He prayed the men to return?to
strike one more blow?to remember all
they had nt stake?but his words were
idle, as addressed to -^anicsiieken mili
tia.
Of all the force, none remained but.
the old Contmentals of DeKalb and
Gist, and the Maryland and Delawnre
line, and the whole urmy of Corcwallu
was massed along their front, and prd*
ceedcdby a terrible 6re from their field
pieces, they rushed to the attack.
None can blame the Marylanders if
they broke then, for against them the
whole forcc of the enemy had been thrown
during nearly the whole combat. De
Kalb, his gray hair streaming in the wind
ran up and down the line,,cxorting them
to die gloriously, if die they must, but
not to fly. They 6tood up, and, for a
time, rolled back the coming tide of tho
enemy, but they could do no more.
Cornwallis recoiled, but it was only to
rush on with strengthens1 forces, md the
men who had resisted so long gave way,
tho bloody fight was over. And, as the
regiments of Eugland rushed on in pur
suit, of the flying Americans, they saw a
man, in the uniform of a staff officer,
holding the bloody form of DeKalb up
on his breast, andwying out, in heart
rending accents :
"Spare, oil! spare Baron DeKalb !"
This was the chevallier Du Buysscn,
who, holding bis. commander to his
heart, and shielding him with his body,
himself was terribly wounded by tho
British bayonets. But the efforts of
this brave friend would not suffice, for
the old baron was already bleeding his
life away from eleven gaping wounds.
Three days after he died at CaracUir*'
and was buried there, and for years the
only thing which marked his resting
place was a treo, which had been plant
ed at the head of his grave. Succeed
ing generations have done justice to
his memory, and his name is en
rolled with those of Pulaski, I*
Fayette and olher brave men from for
eign lands, who aided us with hand and
purse, in tho Great Straggle.
