TEE MANNIG TIMS MTanVmiiig, 0. CL S. A. NETTLES. Editor. WEDNESDAY, February 11, 1891. COUNTY TAX AND INDEBTEDNESS. The tax levy for the present fiscal year beginning Nov. 1, 1890, will be ten mills for all purposes. Of this 4 3-4 mills is for State tax; 2 mills for school tax; and 3 1-4 for ordinary county purposes. The county tax will aggregate about $7,500. The es timate for the present year is $2,000 less than that for last year, as follows: $1,500 for raising Black river cause -way; $125 attorney's fees; $200 re pairs on public buildings; and $175 contingent expenses. The above items will not be needed the present year. This levy of 3 1-4 mills will leave a surplus of $400, if the expend itures are confined to the appropria tions, and it is very desirable that the county commissioners confine their expenditures to the appropriation, and not run the county in debt. About $4,000 less in taxes will be col lected this year than last. The books closed Jan. 31st for the collection of taxes except with penal ty attached, and the treasurer tells us there are fewer delinquents this year than ever before, showing the wisdom of extending the collectiqn of taxes to February. The whole amount of de linquent taxes including delinquent polls is less than $400. The amount collected this year for State purposes is $12,214A6; for school purposes fom two mill tax $4,653.13; and for county purposes $10,469.54. The ap propriation for county purposes for the pat year was 9,145, leaving a surplus to be applied to past indebt edness of $1,324.54. It is certainly desirable that the county commission erswipe out all old indebtedness, and if anything has to be left unpaid let it be the deficiencies for the year just -losed. Let the bonded indebtedness and the indebtedness of from 1883 to 1889 be paid in full, and if anything has to be carried over, let it be the -deficiencies of the fiscal year begin ning Nov. 1, 1889. COTIO1 SEED MEAL AT HOME. Cotton seed meal is a recent inven tion, and ever since its introduction our-farmers have been buying and using it extensively, but instead of manufacturing the meal at home, they sell their seed and buy the article ~afroad. If cotton seed meal is a good fer tilizer, would it not be economy to -manufacture it at home? A cotton seed oil mill could be established in SManning at a comparatively small ost. All that is needed is for the consumers to interest themselves in the project, form a joint stock com pany, and with what assistance they may get from parties that are willing to invest their money in enterprises thtwould benefit the town and com 'lmuiy, they would soon have an es tablishment right at home where they ZYliave their seed converted into zieal, and save the expense of rail uxoads and the handling by parties As soon as our people learn that -tey 'can manufacture at home and ''save money then they should set h'aout trying to accomplish the de result. It needs no figures or ~4.uuent to prove that by having a >mlin Manning to manufacture meal, onycan be saved to the con samers, and by having such an in stitution here more laborers will be S'-plydand more money put in -'iilton, thus benefitting the farm ~ and all other trades and profes jOnce we succeed in getting this aid of an institution in operation and pushing it on to success, then sother mills and factories will follow, -and they too will succeed. _Our object in making these sug npifs is to cause the people to Stnnk, and perhaps in the near future dame enterprising individual will start m&e ball of progress in motion. Manning has a bright future if her ~itizens will make it so. Of course no town was ever built by people sjwiting for str'angers to come along and do the building. They first had to push for themselves, and after they had commenced to flourish, strangers s oon found out that the town was Sriving, and they sought out the place, and joined in the progressive procession. Manning has but few enterprises, but what few she has pay. The Bank, the Young Men's Building and Loan Association, and the Dime Saving In stitution are but recent bnsiness ventures, and all of them have shown satisfactory results. If the word suc cess can be written of them, we see no reason why a cotton seed oil mill with hundreds of consumers right at hand should not be put in operation and also worked successfully. T he Sumter Trade Journal is a new business venture. It is exclusively for advancing the interests of Sumter. I the managers of the paper will pay more attention to the general "get up" of the paper, they will meet with greater success. Such a sheet to at tract the attention of capitalists and others who would probably invest in Sumter property, should be neatly printed on book paper. The scheme is a good .one, but the execution can be greatly improved on. Two prominent men of Greenville were gambling in that city last Friday night, when, after a few hot words, one shot the other through the heart. The man killed was a lawyer, an ex member of the legislature, and a son in-law of Judge Hudson. Gone to hell from a gambling table! The county treasurer is authorized1 to receive taxes with the 15 per cent. penalty until the 18th of this month, after which all delinquents will be turned over to the sheriff. - Why do not our young men save up their money ? A dollar saved is worth ten times ten dollars made and wast ed. It is not what is made but what is saved that makes millionaires. Gov. Tillman, who has been quite ' ihthe grip for some timie, is The 23rd S. C. Volunteers in Virginia in 1S62. BY A SPROTT GUARD. While we were quietly waiting here for the next order a Federal soldier came riding along approaching us from our rear. At this place was a bridge over Tub or Cub Run, and he very quietly and unconcerned ly rode over the bridge, On reaching the edge of the bridge next to where we were he shouted, "Don't shoot, it is a friend,"and quietly continued on his way. About the time he was passing the point just where it brought him quite close, some of the Con federates on the left of the road discovered he was a Federal, and 'cried out: "It's a d-d Yankee, kill him." The Federal seeing ho was discovered, put spurs to his horse and dashed into the darkness like a 1lash. About twenty or thirty shots were fired after him, but with what effect we never knew. The horse at least made his escape, for we could hear him for some time af ter the firing ceased, making the air ring with his hoofs. TWO CAVALRY ATTACKS REtLSED. A short time after this Yankee had passed us we were ordered to make ready to resist a charge of cavalry we heard coming down the road upon us. The Federals came full tilt for us. At this time Col. Benbow or dered us to be ready. The Federals turned before reaching us, making a kind of circle. As they made this half circle Col. Benbow ordered the 23rd to fire, and the next mo ment a sheet of fire flashed from oar mus kets. The Federals retreated at a rapid rate back in the direction from whence they came. The effect of our fire could not be seen. Col. Benbow remarked: "I'll bet that tire emptied some of their saddles." Things now remained quite serene for a while. All at once we heard them coming again but we were prepared for them. They came a little closer this time and be. ing ready the Colonel gave the order again to fire. wo poured another volley into them. This time they made a turn across the road to their right and some scattering ones among them got among some of our men and in the darkness and confusion succeeded in regaining the position where the rest had fallen back to. THE EVE OF BATTLE. After this affair matters began to get quiet. The 23rd then moved aecoss the road left obliquely forward into a cornfield about a hundrend yards in advance of our position just left. Here we remained in line of battle. Everything was as calm and quiet as could be, except an occasional stray Yankee or Confeder te intwiring for his command. We . de ou eves as comfort able as the circumstances would permit, knowing the light of the next day would usher in one of carnage. Gen. Lee's whole army now had arrived, and Gen. Pope had collected all his detached forces, and had them on hand and ready to lock horns with the Confederates on the blood stained plains of Manassas. About daybreak the 23rd was ordered to fall back. We quietly marched down the road to the point where we had the evening before left the road. This time it was to file left again and march down a string of fence again. On our right was a dense piece of woods. We marched about a half or three-qnarters of a mile and halted. This was about sunrise or a little after. We here formed our line of battle, and were ordered to lay down behind this fence, for the ball had opened, and Yankee shot and shell had begun to search for us. The lines of battle, it was said, extended six miles, and by eight o'clock in the morning the battle was raging with terriffic splendor along the whole line. Evans's Brigade was now together, and was held in reserve for the final onset when the right time came. While the brigade was in reserve we suffer ed considerable from the fire of the Feder als in our front. We had several men wounded, some severely, by shells falling about and bursting above us. About two o'clock we received our scant rations, con sisting of cord bread and beef, eating it with a relish that did not need any coaxing, for it was the first we had to eat for over two days. We remained in line of battle and reserve till about five o'clock in the evening. About this time we saw Gen. Evans riding down in front of the brigade delivering his order to each officer commanding a regi ment. When he reached our front he said to Col. Benbow: "Forward with your regi ment !" The order came, "Forward, 23rd!" and we rose from behind the fence, leaped over, and began to advance. The shells were now bursting all around us. The whole brigade was in line of battle and began to move at he same time. The line of battle was beautiful the battle flags of the brigade proud ly fluttering in the gentle evening breeze. COn. BmBow woUNDED. We moved forward with rhe quick step, and a short distance from the fence a shrapnel shell from the Federal battecies burst a short distance in our front and a few feet above us. CoL. Benbow and several others were wounded. Col. Benbow leaned forward, sticking the point of his sword in the ground to support himself from falling, and said to Lieut.-Col. Roberts, "Colonel, you must lead the regiment; I am wounded." Col. Roberts said: "Forward, boys, I will lead you !" We continued at a double quick. In our front about three hundred yards was a piece of woods about seventy-five or a hundred yards wide. This woods we were not long in reaching, but having reached it our movements were a little inter rupted by limbs and brush lying quite thick through them. We kept in very good order though, and reached the opposite side very well embodied. By the time we had got about halfway from where Col. Benbow was wounded and this woods in our front, the fire from the Federal batteries became very rapid, and shell and shot were coming from every direction in our front and burst ing on every side of us, and more especially in the body of woods we were about to enter. GOING IToT BATrLE... After passing through the woods we came to a very extensive opening, in some places as far as the eye could see. On reaching this edge of the woods we camne to where the ground was rolling or hilly, reaching a point where we had to make a descent grad ually of about eighty or a hundred yards. At this distance began an ascent about sev enty-five or a hundred yards. At the bottom of these two hills as they may be called was Tub or Cub Run flowing in all its majesty, and its waters as cold as ever. Aboat sixty yards from the brow of this hill in our front was a heavy battery of artillery, consisting, as well as I remember, of seven pieces, all bright and glittering brass guns. Along in supporting distance of this battery was a line of Federal infantry, stretching like a blue cloud across our front. Scattered on and all over the ground and hill in front of the woods we had just got through were the Federal dead and wounded. The - regi ment N. Y. Zouaves was terribly cut to pieces at this place, and from their number of dead and wounded the gallant Americans must have stood their ground nobly. As soon as we cleared the woods, at a double qick we descended the hill, jumping over the dead and wounded. Federals to keel) from treading on them. On reaching the run at the bottom or base of this hill we leaped into it and out on the other side in a few mo ments, and began to ascend the hill on the opposite side of the run. Just as we clear ed the run Lieut.-Col. Rloberts was wounded and the command of the reginant devolved upon Maj. Whilden. As soon as we emerged fiom the woods the Federals open ed fire on us from a battery stationed about four hundred yards from us, jnist a short distance back of being on a line with the battery in our front, throwing their missiles a little left obliquely from them and oblique ly across our line. On clearing the run we went up the hill at a double quick. Just as we reached the brew of the hill Maj. Whil den ordered us to fall down, and in a mo ment we all drcpped down, and in lcss than THE BATTLE B3EGI~s. a moment's time the Federals opened fire upon us. I think this fire did little dam age, their grape and canister passing over us. As soon as this fire .was over Major Whilden crdered the 23rd to rise and for ward. We rose as quick as we could and moved forward towards the battery, for we were not over fifty yards from it. By the time we arose the Federals had their guns re charged and opened fire again upon us, the infantry supporting the battery opening at the same time. Now it was terrible ! Grape and canister raking and tearing up the as and plowing up the ground at every point, causing a perfect cloud of dust to rise, and the dust and smoke mingling together with the yells of the contending forcest made CAPT. nBiADHAM WOUNDED. the afleir terrible indeed. About this time, if I remenmber correctly, D. J. Biadham', 3rd Lieutenant coanading Co. I, lost his arm. The fire was so terrible that the 23rd had to fall back bAlind the lill. The 23rd was again orderc-0 to move forward. This time We moved a little light obliquely forward, which threw ns a little right of the front of the battery. The space left open was inme diately filied with the right of Anderson's Brigade, which was advancing some short distance in rear of Evans's Brigade to sup port it. The two brigades now getting to gether, or being now where they could act together, moved forward, and, under the heavy tire of the enemy, captured the bat terv. As soon as this battery was captured the guns were turned upon the Federals twho were flveing across the open fieid), pouring a demorahzing and destructive tire into the backs of the flying fugitives. The battle was fast going against the Federals, it being late in the evening and the Federal whole line, right, centre, and left was broken and defeated, and they exercising all the faith they had in their own heels for their VIcToRY! safety, were flying in confusion. When the darkness of that evening spread itself over the face of nature there was one more bril liant and decisive victory to be scored to the arms of the Confederate States of America, and one humiliating defeat to be recorded in the pages of history against the North. In the charge at the top of the hill the gallant Maj. Whilden fell pierced by sev eral balls while gallantly bearing aloft the flag of the 2'rd, three others having been shot down before the gallant Whilden grasped it up. The battle over and the Federals were now flying with all speed to reach the northern bank of the Potomac River, with a heavy body of the victorious Confederates in their rear. We collected our wounded in a camp established in a woods about three-quarters of a mile from the battle field, and administered to their needs the best we could till they could be trans ferred to hospitals where they could be bet ter attended to. The next day was Sunday, and Sunday it was to all appearances, for it was as calm and as peaceful as any 'ab bath could be. Had it not been for the shoc--ing evidences of war all around us, one would have supposed there was no blighting curse of war in our land. Several of us repaired to the battle field, and I will say here that one who has never been on a batle field, or has never visited one, need never want to do so, for they will be-hold a THE FLELD STREWN wITH DEAD soLDiErs. sight that is simply awful. On reaching the battle field we went over it, and witnessed the terrible consequences of war t:li the heart became sick. On that field of e:arnage wve beheld men shot in every cuncvei ble manner, men mangled and torn to bleed ing threads, men of all ages, the middle wged and to all appearances in the full vig >r of their manhood, and the beardless boy, ill mangled and stiff in death. We saw the battle in its effects had been more terrible with the Federals than with the Confeder ites, they having a greater number of mnen han the Confederates their loss could not but be greater. In this particular part of :he battie field I visited 1 am satsited the Federals' loss was at. least five to three of the Confederates. The loss on the part of the Federals as admitted on the part of tie au horities of the United States was never orrect, for they have always trzed to convey the impression that the loss of the Confed erates in this battle was as heavy or heavier than theirs, which was not the case, for they were soundly whipped and got many men killed and wounded besides prisoners. It was reported at the time that the Confeder ates captured nine thousand prisoners or more. The loss on the part of the Confed erates I do not remember as officially re ported. The official report of the 23rd I very well remember: Four hundred and fortv-one men engaged, and one hundred and fifty-seven killed and wounded. A great many of course were but slightly wounded. I remember well that Co. I carried twenty four men rank and file into the fight, and QNLY T~i:EE or' co. I EscAPE UNBnT. ot of that number only three escaped un scathed. With this company many weere only slightly weounded. The readers can very well imagine how thick shot and shell flew around the 23rd on that occasion. This I think is sufficient to relate about this memorable battle, so I will turn from the battle field and relate a little incident connected with this afluir that was very amusing at the time. It appears that Gen. Pope imagined during some part of the day's battle that he was gaining the day and the Confederates would soon be in fill flight before his victorious army, and while enjoy ing this delusive expectation he telegraphed to Washington that Lee was retreating to the mountains and that a-great union victo ry was being achieved by the grand union army; also saying any one wishing to visit the battle field and view the rebel dead could do so with safety. On reception of this telegram about sixty citizens of Wash ington set out to visit the battle field and see all these gratifying sights. But disap pointed they were when before they were aware of it they were safe within the lines of Confederates; and Pope was, wvith his de feated and flying troops, making for the north bank of the Potomac Rtiver by way of Centreville. The mortification and chagrin of these nicely dressed citizens was as great to themselves as it weas amusing to the Con federates. They abused Pope at a high rate and called him everything but a man of un questioned veracity and a good general. The Confederates teased them: a great deal, many of them telling them they wanted to swap shirts with them. After teasing them a good deal in different ways they were marched to the rear, and after a day or two released and sent through the lines under a flag of truce back to Washington, a wiser set at least than when they left.- They had the pleasure of seeing, if there was any pleasure in it, their dead scattered over the field and on the road they came, for this was the morning alter the battle, and I don't think any of the Federals were buried up to that time. GOIN~G INTo wflTERl QUTARTERS. After the battle of Manassas Lee's army crossed the Potomac River into Maryland early in September, and in the batt!,:s of South Mountain, Boonsboro Gap, and Sharpsburg Evaus's Brigade, including the 3rd, took part, sustaining loss ini each ot these engagements. After Gen. Lee failed to dislodge and defeat the Federals at the last named battle, on account of McClellan nd Pope uniting their two forces which now made the Federals forty thousand tronger than the Confederates, they quietly md in good order withdrew and reer ossed :he Potomac into yirginia.
