f???M???W???HM?* & $<??&? fnwwlt G.O.ALEXANDER, Proprietor. CAMDEN, S. C., FEBRUARY 6, 1879. Teller's Investigation. We shall look forward to the report of Mr. Teller's committee with a deal of iotero8t. Of coarse, he has a great deal to tell. "Why uot ? He is & Teller; aod all we ask him for is to exactly tell the troth. The revelations at this investigation, whiln not entirely in oar favor, (as of coarse was not to be expected,) goes to thow that the great monster now so familiarly known as 'imtimidation,' was not held up in a very formidable light. That some fraud was perpetrated on both sides, there can be no question, and we are quite happy to see that they have made so little out of this much talked of investigation. It appears that the Democratic party were quite infants in the way of taking a little advantage, and all that they had learned had come from their redoubtable opponents. On the whole, we are quite satisfied, aod only biush and feel ashamed when we read the monstrous testimony of ^ ** MniM- What is un f What does it mean ? We are at a loss to understand. Sherman in Atlanta, or the Devil in Paradise. Peace to the ashes of the past. Let all go that can go, and if memory could be induced to ignore itself, we would say, cover over the whole bloody chasm, and even forget the houso burner, deso? lator, pprjurer and liar that now, in palace cars, revels over the sacred grounds that once he reduced to ashes amidst the wailiDgs of womeu, the cries tf infants and the agonizing groans ol brave men. Sherman in Atlanta. Great Heavens! We think of it almost as we do of the devil in Paradise ! Sher man in Atlanta! Worse than all tb( plaguesTof Egypt. He desecrates hei ground, be breathes contagion to hei air, and if we were not a generous people, a brave people, a forbearing people Sherman could never be in Atlanta Sherman in Atlanta! Hard, bard tc realize. Living men may shake youi accursed fingers, but as they do it, if nc spirit from the dead arises to shame them, there is a monster known-as conscience which will torture them intc burning shame, and an they feei the sting, righteous men will say, it is good for you. Trouble at home, war abroad, distress at large, yellow lever in our cities?these are Providential, aud we can endure them ; but; Sherman in At lanta ? No, never ! never!! never !!! General Gary. We do not know anything that we have enjoyed bo much recently as the reading of the life of General Gary, by one of bis staff. In the emphath lan* gu8ge of the distinguished General himself, "we have our likes and wo have onr dislikes," and he is one for whom our feelings have always been extremely warm. As a consequence, we always enjoy anything that does him justice, and we feel that this writer does. Gen. Gary is, in our judgrmnt, uot properly anderstood with a great many of our people. His bold and fearless way of thinking for himself, and then speaking what he thinks, forces-many to the conclusion that he is reckless, and not to be relied on when coolness and judgment are called for. No greater mistake was ever made. He is a cool, deep and earnest thinker, and he makes no move that he does not well weigh before he does it, "We have seen his eagle eyo flash like a diamond when blood and dying men were around bim. We have seen him in days that tried men's souls, but never yet have we seen him when his brain was not collected and his head level. His record in the army, while brilliant, shows in not one single instance a reckless loss of life, but upon the contrary, no commander was more careful of his soldiers, and none was more beloved. In civil life, look at his fecord. He first advocated the "straight-out" movement. Many of us looked upon him as nothing less, than crazy. But the results have clearly shown that he was right, ar.d that the policy he advocated made Hampton Governor and cleared oar State of the thieves that infested it. We believe in "rendering unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's," and we speak but the truth when we say that South Carolina has upon her soil no son who has risked nacre, done more, er who loves her more, than Gen. Gary. We do not believe in the dogma of infallibility, and we think that the General mado some mistakes in the Legislature, but as he did so, we know that he did so honestly. We shall always rejoice at anything that does him good, and we do earnestly trust that his cup of honor and ambition may be filled to overflowing. Wo love Geuoral Gary, and as long as we can, we will always be just to him. The Teller Committee concluded their investigations in Charleston On the 80th tflfc NEVVh ITEMS. THE first session of court bold in the new oonnty of Hampton was commcnced there list week, Judge Kershaw presiding. President McMahon of the French Republic has resigned his position as ruler of Francs, and M. Qrevy has been elected as bis successor. Great distress prevails among the stiking miners in the county of Durham, England. It has not been equaled before since the great strike of 1844. Ida Lewis has been appointed to succeed her mother as keeper of Lime Rock Light and the salary for the position has been increased from 8750 to 81,000. A letter dated Rio Janeiro, Jan. 13, says: "It is reported that tho black plague lias appeared iu the province of Cora. Five doctors have been dispatched there." It is stated that Stanley has been engaged to 6tart on a new exploring expedition through Africa, and that a steamer has been chartered to convey him and his party to Zanzibar. Dr. Samdel Walker, of New Orleans, has sued the Howard Association of that city, to recover $5,000 which . sum he claims for service at Greenville, Mississippi, during the epidemic. A bill has been introduced into the Houso of Representatives of Pennsylvania for the abolition of capital punishment, substituting therefor solitary confinement for life at hard labor. Mrs. John Jacob Astor wore diamonds worth $250,000 at the ball in New York, a few evenings ago. They ? were the family diamonds and consisted ] ' of necklace, earrings, combs, four brace- I 1 lets and tiara, and were remarkable for 1 their purity and beauty. 1 It is said (hat the terrible plague, ^ which is now depopulating a portion of Russia, originated from a captured Turkish shawl brought back as a part of a ' Cossack's spoils of war and given to his lady-love. She soon sickened and died, ' and the pestilence has been spreading ever since that time. The Czar has approved the Bummary measures resolved upon by the com' znittec of ministers for stopping the ; plague, and has empowered tho Minister of the Interior to burn Wetlianka and other villages where it is neoessary, the ( inhabitants te be removed elsewhere within quarentine distance. i It is announced that after two years i of careful search, the successor of the Grand Lama of Thibet has been discov, ered and crowned. It was believed that the soul of the laic Lama had eni tered a child, and it has taken a long time to find hiai. IIow he was select* ed out of the four hundred millions now his subjects, is uotBtated. The Chinese immigration bill, as passed in the House, makes it a misdemeanor punishable with fine and imprisonment for tho masters of any vessel to take on board at any Chinese or other foreign pore more tnan ntteen uninese passengers, with intent to brine: them to the United States. The act is to take effect from and after the 1st of July, 187M. Ben Butler claims that at the Presidential nominating convention in Charleston, in 1860, he voted fifty-seven times for Jefferson Davis to be nominated as a caudidate for the Presidency of the United States. It is too late a day for you to be showing up your hand, Benjamin. The cloven foot has been in sight too long. The South has n .1 __ n _ no iuriner use ior you. Toe New York Tribune states, in the most positive terms, thnt the remains of A. T. Stewart have not been recovered by hiB widow or Judge Hilton. Reports to the coutrary grew out of exaggerated repetitions of hopes expressed by Mrs. Stewart to her friends in Decembr last that negotiations then pending would result in the return of the body before the end of the year. A citizen of Perry, Ga., lately had a most remarkable dream. He dreamed he was dead, but that he could get no one to dig his grave for him. He then borrowed a spade and went to work at it himself, but to his great mortification looked up and ^saw the hearse comrng wuo nis corpse Deiore he bad half fioished pthe job. Fortunately be awoke before tbo burial took place. A sort oi light, good humor per vaded the crowd in the neighborhood of the depot, epicod up with curiosity, when the train arrived that brought Sherman to Atlanta. There was no perceptible indignation or feeliog of prejudice. In most of the clumps of talkers there were jokes flying to and fro. One man proposed to Mayor Calhoun to go and offer the freedom of the city to Gen. Sherman. "He made too d?d free with it when he was here before," said an objector. Another gen tleman good-hamorcdly proposed that a procession of widows in mourning, with banohes of pino kindling in their hands, be appointed to wait on the general and i offer to facilitate his work. As the train ! rolled in a gentleman called, "Ring the lfire?beils! ttfwn will bb gunb in ' )^r asftneiM r* The New York Herald asserts tbat "several ex-rebel soldiers say tbat Gen Grant can carrv Georgia. Florida. Loui siana, and both the Carolinas in 1880. if Tom Settle of North Carolina is on the ticket with him. They have a growing respect for Grant." The people of South Carolina would like to know who of her sons are so degraded as to make such remarks as those. Grant can never get the vote of any true Carolinian. A dispatch from Vienna says that the occupation by tbe Roumanians of a position near Silistra, which they claim as belonging to the Dobrudscha, is a very serious affair. The Roumanians, by an overwhelming foroe, compelled the Russians to abandon the fortress of * ?nf Silistra Arau xai/ia vu tuv v/u^bikw v* ......? The Roumanian Government on Sat* urday received an intimation simultaneously from St. Petersburg and from Gen. Todleben to withdraw immediately, but formally refused, and a collision is probable. Letters have been received at New York from seveaal members of the Ame> rican corps of riflemen who wero enlisted in the Russian service while the Grand Duke Alexis and the Russian fleet were at New York. During their serviee in the Russian war the leaders of the party, Jack Ketch of Galveston, Texas. Wm. Dyer of Boston, and John and William Taylor, late of the Ninety-fifth Pennsylvania, (Gosling's goqaves,) have been repeatedly decorated on the field of battle for bravery in action. During J the passage of the Balkans, Ketch, who commanded the corps; was called oat before tho Russian army and invested with the cross of St. Stanislaqs by Gen. Skobeloff, to whose personal stuff he was attached. They will leave Russia at the beginning of July, their term of service having been limited to that timo. A Wonderful Motor ?Ac application was recently made before the English patent office for a new motor. Id the specification that has been filed^ it is described as "an improved apparnnia for raisin? water and obtaining motive power." The principle upon which this new motor is founded is that "an apparatus raising water twenty feet will raise twenty times as much water as is necessary to work itself, less friction, the apparatus being oonnected with and worked by a water wheel." In other words the inventor has set out to prove that a machine can be made wheh will not only work itself, but generate sufficient power to werk any fixed machinery or proper vessels. Next to perpetual motion, and akin to it, this new self-acting device, if its practica bility can he demonstrated, would be one of the most remarkable yet recorded in this age of great inventions.
