THE MAN1NNG TIES. Mann-n ig, .. C% S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25,1891. General Joseph Eggleston Johnston died at his residence in Washington last Saturday, aged eighty-two years. He was one of the four brigadier gen erals of the Confederate States, and did valiant service in our loved lost cause. He also served gallantly in the Florida Indian war and the war with Mexico. He was the last of the great generals of the recent civil war. He served as one of the pall bearers at General Sherman's funeral a few weeks ago. The remains of Gen. Johnston were buried yesterday in Washington, without any military display, the family preferring a quiet funeral. About Some Newspaper Critics. Some people have an idea that it is the duty of a newspaper to watch the conduct of people, and when it finds one doing what is not approved of by themselves, to open a perfect fusilade of criticism, and thereby satisfy their longing desire for something sensatioaal. At different times the question has been put to us: "Did you not see so and so?then why did you not go for him in your pr per?" These questions are sked without regard to whether the matter reerred to is of such a nature as to be of inte rest to the public and the readers of the paper generally, or to a few who would like to see the matter pub lished just to satisfy their own ideas and euriosity. Te are anxious to publish all matters of news of pub.ic interest, and all other matters that will be of interest to our readers, but whe ait coies to usin-3 our col umns for the publication of such matters as only interest a few persons, then we politely decn e, as did the Frenchman at the revival seating when asked if he did not want to go to heaven ri-,ht then. his reply was, "No tank you, ze must excuse, me time just now is for odderbeezness." Just so is it with us:we have not the time nor s to waste in publishing matters not of pub'c interest, but we do desire to get all matters of news from every section of the county, and we respectfully ask for the same. If anything happens in your com munity drop us a line, and we will publish it to the world.. Our Greeleyville Letter. GzzrTvmE, Mar. 20.-For weeks past thepeopleof thisconmunity have been suf fering with the ep'eemnic catarrh-Grippe, (Fr.)-which ever and anon afflic.s the hu man race, without regard to age, sex, temper ament, or occupation. Mrs. Ann Montgom ery and Mrs. Amarintha Lesesne, both bor dering on four score years of age, hare been quite sick with it. Mrs. Stevens died here recently, just af ter completing ninety-one years of life. Four generations of descendants survive her. Rev. James McDowell has been favoring the congregation at Richmond church with religious services recently. &aessrs. Mallard & Griffin have united with Messrs. Boyle & Hogan, and the firm will be known as the Mallard Lumber Com pany. They will erect another saw mill, ut iron rails on extensive tram roads, and eep their commissary stores in the store lately, occupied by C. Karesh. This, I am eased to say, is a strictly temperance firm. Ywill not allow intxicants,-not even eider-as supplies to their em it is Dot known that whiskey is sold by any person in this community, either with or without a license. The importation of aleohclic liquors by private persons, for so -eli drinking, and to be used medicinally, gives the railroad and express companies saome business. * This is the season for busy preparations for planting, hauling fertilizers, and com .,anngabout bad roads. In the McaxNGx 7 uand Watchmran and dfron, I see that some careless plowmen by not lifting -their plow stocks while turning in or cross ing the pable roads, have waked up the judge, gad junies, and county commission era, anas a corsequence, so ne printer's ink has been used. Unless the e is a great change in the supervision of the roads by the county commissioners and their agents,, the overseers, this is the only result which wil follow. If, however, it should happen tht in this record-and custom-b:eaking age, this awakening shall result in good roads, *kept open the lawful width. and free from alobstructions infdedantdforest, these care less plowmen will deserve the lasting grai tiude of all travelers and beasts of burden, and will have accomplished what the Agri enicutural Department, Senator Butler, and a host of other able men failed to do. If, on 'the other hand, these orders not to plow or S.plant within a space of twenty feet, and on1 zoas leading to Charleston. Georgetown, W.Clmbia, Camden, Cheraw, and the defunct town of Hamburg (see orders for Sumter ~county) are carried out, thousands of acres dwill be left ur cultivated 'which are not nec es ry for the public, except whilet-. velers are p~sig each other. Bsides these un ~-mdborders will soon be covered with a growth of bushes and briars, 'which will be c'.much greater obstacle than the crops now Agrown outside the traveled track, and disfig --uze the farms, and furnish a nursery oi Sweeds and grs.If the ordersto keep the acads clear aplied to those portions in woodland 'which are usually obstructed by trees, stumps, loge, and undergrowth, so us to put travelers to serious inconvenience ~gometimes while passing each other, there ~oold have been more reason and common s ense in issuing them. J. ii. n. Major John I. Richardson. [Carrollton News.] ~'Maj. John M. Richardson, of Kaufman county, Texas, is expected in Carrollton to day.' He has many friends here and all over Georgia who extend him a cordial wel come. He is one of the finest educators as well as the most amiable of men. 7,He has been visiting in south Carolina. He visits his daughters, Mrs. L C. Man deville and Miss Gabie Richardson. Since the above was written Hon. John N. Riardson has arrived in our city, hav ing come in on the Central to-day. No man will receive a heartier welcome from our people than Maj. Richardson. Carroll ton loves and honors him for his noble heart, and for fond associations formed years past- and forever gone. Welcome to you, Maj. Richardson. In Memory of T. H.

WEsToN, Ja., BEN S. PATnzcE, A. H. BrED, Committee, TWENTY-THIRD S. C. V. Operations Around Jackson in 1863. BY A sPnorr GUAl. After hearing the news of the surrender of Vicksburg Gen. Johnston knew it was ro use to advance any farther, so he ordered a stay where we were till the next day. The r.ext day it was reported upon good author ity that Gen. Sherman ha-1 set out from Vicksburg with a heavy force to encounter and defeat Johnston's army and then occu py Jackson. On being aware of the intention of Sherman, Gen. Johnston ordered a re treat to Jackson. The retreat was orderly no confusion in any way. The retreat of the Confederates wa; well covered by a body of cavalry and artillery sufficient to check and hold at bay any body of Feder als that mighc try to overtake them. This retreat comnec:d on the sixth day of Ju ly. The weather was very warm, and still dry through that section, and I think it can truthfully be said of the 23rd Regiment that in this retreat they suffered more than they ever before or after for the same length of time. SUFFEnRNlG FOR WATER. During this retreat it was the hardest nat ter to get water we ever experienced. The people depending or having to depend on their c&sterns for water (or in other words upon rain to supply their cisterns) were very close with it, and would part with but very little of it. The troops had to seek all the gullies and stagnant pools to allay their burning thirst. In some of the gullies we would Emd a little muddy water; in others none. Some times we would find in some of the gullies small puddles of water that apparently was clear, but upon :eaching it the first thing or things we woild see would be a half dozen or more long-legged green frogs le.ip into it, and by their several maneuvers would have it in a short while a very good article of cold red soup. When we didn't have the green frogs to thicken what little water we could get into red soup, we had the little black tadpoles to appear in it by the thousands. In dipping up a pint cup full of this water, and after sucking or drawing the water through our tee'th, we would find the cup at least one- third deep in these little black tadpoles. This account of our drinking water we had on that re treat is simply an outline, and could be considerably enlarged if it were necessarv. The troops beyond a doubt will never forget that suffering by the heat and the want of water. On Tuesday evening about dark we reached Jackson very much fatigued. On reaching Jackson we marched a little farther and took up our abode for a very short while on the Pearl River. The next day after reaching the Pearl River was Wednesday. We remained here that day and night. We were very much in need of a little rest. This day we had the pleasure of its refreshing waters in swimming and bathing in them which helped our stiff and weary limbs a great deal. and by the next morning found ourselves very much re freshed and rested. BEaND THE TRENCHES. On the next morning, July 9, 1"'03, the troops were ordered to move and occupy the intrenchments on the west of the city (Jack-on.) These intrenchmen ts extended across the western suburbs of Jackson and resting on or extending to the Pearl River north and south. It was about nine o'clock in the morning when we reached the in trenchments. Evans's Brigade immediately occupied the part assigned it in the follow ing order as well as I remember: the 26th resting its right on the road leading from Jackson to Vicksburg; the 17th, 18th, 22nd, and Holcombie Legion occupying the intrenchments in the order named; the 23rd occuping the intrenchments on the left of the brigade, its left resting or nearly reach ing the road leading from Jackson to Clin ton, and being joined on its left by Arkan sas and Kentucky troops. The 23rd had a good posi;on. In our front was a strip of wood~ about three hrudred yards from us. Between this woods and the line of the 23rd (about half way) was a gully extending across and some little distance beyond our front, about four or five feet deep and twelve or fifteen feet wide. The artillery left to cover our retreat had arrived in due time, and, with the other artillery on the line, was in position. The cavalry was left to come in last. At this road leading from Jackson to Vicksburg was a battery of heavy artillery, consisting, us well us I remember, 'of two guns. About 11 o'clock we began to hear the crack of small arms, and after a short length of time we saw the cavalry slwly falling back and firing at the Feder als. The cavalry now moved towards us and passed the infantry and took a position some distance in the rear, they having per formed the duty assigned to them. The Federals halted at the place we first sawv the cavalry after they had been firing a while. The Federals could not be seen at first and for some little time on account of the dust. They certainly kicked up a big dust about this time. The Confederates kept them selves quite close in the intrenchments ani iouslv waiting for the Federals to push for ward: but the Federals were not quite so anxious to push forward. They concluded to wait a while and see how matters stood. -rHE FIGH'T nEGINS. They knew very well they were out of reach of those floating cities of refuge (Yankee gunboats), and had better be cautious. After getting one of their batteries in position they opened fire very' rapidly upon the works where this battery of heavy guns was. The Federalb had only light artillery. and there was not much danger of their dismounting these guns. The Federals had not fired but a few shots when our boys re plied, opening with these heavy guns. The shot and shell from these guns went crash ing through this piece of woods in front of the 23rd. The Federals on reaching the point they were then at located a battery to their right of this road, just a short dis tance in the woods. It took but a few shots from our guns to silence this battery. This I guess was between one and two o'clock. M4atters now became quiet. Lines of skir mishers on both sides were thrown out, and began to contend with each other. The Confederates would advance and drive back the Federal skirmishers, then the Federals would advance and drive back the Confed erte skirmishers. This see-saw kind of business was kept up all day, and I don't think there were many casualties on the part of the Confederates. When dark ar rived everything became quiet, and the Confederates made themselves easy the best they could in the intrenchments. Advanced picket posts were established in front and along the intrenchments at proper dis tances. About daylight the skirmishing began again, and at times became very spir ited. About 11 o'clock on the Confederate right and the Federal left, the Federals moved forward to force and capture this part of the Confederate works. The Con federates were prepared and anxious for the Federals to make the attempt to carry their position. The Federals moved on the works with the expectation of having an easy time in capturing or routing this part of the line, which they knew in doing so would about end the matte-r with the Confederates, for the Confederate right being broken and captured it would have placed the Confederates (or the rest of them) at great disadvantage. The Confed erates, howeyer, were aware of all this, and acted accordingly. The Confederates let the Federals get quite close before they opened on them. wishing to do business at the start. The Federals came to the scratch bravely, and at a certain point the Confedl crates opened on them a withering lire of musketry, the batteries of the Confederates opening at the same time with grape and canister shot, and for a half or three quar ters of an hour the battle raged The Fed erals forced the fight for all it was worth, but they were repulsed with heavy loss and soon gave up the attempt, and what of them was left broke and fled back to their lhues, or to the part they occupied before this charge. Confederate lead and valor had proved too much for the well laid plans of the great Sherman. The skirmishing was now resumed along the whole line again. sKIR31ISHING AROUND A HOUsE. About three hundred yards right obliquely from the position of the 23rd, and I think' directly in front of the position of the 20th, was a large building not very far from the road leading from Jackson to Vicksburg and its front facing this road. It was very amus .n to watch the troops and their move ments about this house. Some times the Confederates would have possession of this house, and sometimes the Federals would have possession. Whe-i the Federals were in possession their sharp shooters would annoy us a good deal. The troops woild have to be very particular and kep (lose ill the works and not (xpose themiehie , for the Federal sharp shooters when in the up per story of the house (it was a two story house) would be slightly above n, and would be cOltinilylV firing :tt us. When the Confederates would drive the Federals from the house and get possession of the house we could move about at will, less ex posed. Around this house was a paling fence, and alongside of the fence there ap peared to be a hedge of mock orange or some other ornamental growth. These pal ings were down or had been torn down in soine places. All this was in full view of the troops- in the trenches. Sometimes the fire would be pretty rapid about this house, and then the Confederates could he seen heeling it from the house anid pouring through the gaps in the fence, then rally and aLvanCe on the house. The Feier.tls could be seen heeling it from the house, pouring through the gaps in the fence on the opposite side of the house. This skir mishing was carried on by companimvs in front of each regiment. The 23rd or its skirmishers had the woods in our front mostly to skirmish in, and about this woods was a good place, in a measure, for this kind of business. The troops could avail themselves of the protection of the trees and light Indian inshion. The 23rd sustained some casualties in this skirmishing, having one killed and several wounded; one or two I think were considered mortally wounded. SUFFERING AGAIN FO. WATER. This now brings us to the close of the evening on Saturday, with everything again quiet. On this evening though the Feder als opened a heavy fire of shot and shell on the position of the 23rd, kept it up for a while, then ceased. We were now expect ing a charge upon our lines which was the case in a great many instances ju.-t before a heavy charge was going to be wade. From this fire I don't think the 23rd sufiered or sustained any casualties, the most of the Federal shell bursting before reaching our works or after passing them. We had been in the intrenchments now three days, and all the time exposed to the burning rays of a Mississippi sun. We had no shelter of any kind except a blanket stretched over ramrods stuck up on the side of the works, or a few boughs cut or broken from some trees a little distant from our works. The intrenchments ran along and across as open a space of ground as could be. We here suffered a good deal for water. We could get water from a cistern in a yard about fif ty yards in our reat, but at times it was worth a man's life to attempt it. The Yan kee sharp shooters would climb the trees in our front and shoot at our shadows it would seem. The Federals would keep this up till the Confederates would advance on them and drive them from the trees and back to a point where they could not reach us so well. In these intervals the 23rd would supply itself with water by detail. It was also hard to get our food, mostly having to wait till night. The rations were cooked about a mile in the rear, and consisted of corn bread and beef, and on its reaching us at night both bread and beef would be sour, and about as much as we could cat at one time, and this would have to do us fi: twenty four hours, till the next evening. Mi these hardships and sufferings made the troops anxious for the Federals to advance and bring on a general engagement, and s,ttle the matter one way or the other, but it ap peared the Yankees were not in for a gener al row as long as they could help it.
