Our people have only to be true and united, to bear manfuliy the misfortunes incident to war, and ali will come right in the erd. "I know how prone we are to cen sure and now ready to blarce others for tie non fulrillment of our expec taticns. This is onbecoming in a Ienerous reople. and I ttrise to see its iexpression. 'he general re redy for the want of success in a military com macder is h:s removal. This is natu ral, and in many iustances proper. For no matter vTat may be the ability of the oiier, if he looses the cond dence of his troops disaster must soon er c-r :ate : ensue. 'I have been prompted by these re Ilections more than once since my re fur i from Pennsylvania to propose to ryue excellency the propriety of se lecting another commander for this army. I have seen and heard of ex pressions of discontent in the publc journais at the result of the expedi tion. 1 do not know how far this feeling extends in the aimy. My brother c ili .ers have been too kind to reuort it, and so far the troops have been too generous to exhibit it. It is fair, however to suppose that it dces exist, and success is so necessary to us that nothing should be risked to secure it. I therefore, in all sincerity, re quest your excellency to take measures to supply my place. I do this with the more earnestness because no one is more aware than myself of my in ability for the duties of my position. I cannot even acc~mplishn what I my self desire. How can I fill the ex pactations of others? In addition, I ensibly feel the growing failure of my bodily strength. I have not yet recovered from the atiack I experi enced the past spring. I am becom-. ing more and more incapable of exer . ion, and am thus prevented from making the personal examinations and giving the personal superivsion to the operations in the field which I feel to be neecssary. I am so dull that in making us~e of the eves of others lam frequently misled. Every thing therefore, points to the advan tages to be derivedi from a new comn mander, and I the more anxiously urge the matter upon your excellency from my belief that a younger and abler man than myself can readily be obtained. I know that he will have as gallant and brave an army as ever xisted to second his efforts, and it would be the happiest day of my life to se at its head a worthy leader one that would accomplish more than I cculd perform and all that I have wished. I hope your excellency will atrikxte my request to the true rea son, the desire to serve my country, and to do all in my power to insure tne success of her righteous cause. I have no complaints to make of any one but m yael. I bhave received noth ing but kindness from those above tre, and th.e most cons:derate attenuon from my comrades and companions ia arms. To vo-r excellency I amu specially indebted for unifmorma kind ness and considration. You bave dole everything in your power to aid me in the work committed to my carge, withlout omitting anything to oomote the ,get:eral welfare. I pray b . our effots may at length be cro-ned1 with success, and that you may tni'e tO eujay the thanks of -WXVi sen:ments c-, great ecteemn, I mv'y ecpectfuly and truly: sours, "R E. LEE. General."

RAINFALL The rainfsl for tne week came in the form of local showers, quite gen eral on. the 4th and Sth and scattered durinr the remainder of the week. Some few places did not receive enough rain while some received too un , with washine rairs in Fair ield, Barnwell and Edae field, but on the whole, there is sufficient moisture ;or the uresent need oi crops.Eighteen places reported weekly measurements of less than 1 inch; 16 from 1 to 2 iuches: :13 from 2 to 3 inches; 3 over .3 inches with a maximum fall of 7 25 at Oakland. The average of these 50 measure::nents is 1.50 while the nor mai is about 1 29. Hoti fell. to the injury of crops, in Chester, Anderson, Barnwell atd Clarendon. The amount of sunshine varied zreatly. The estimated percentage of ,he possible ranged from 14 to 88, with about a normal percentage as the aver age for the State. CROPS. Crops are in good condition and growing well. This is the tenor of most of the correspondents' reports for the week. The exceptions relate main ly to excessive rains in portions of Berkeley, Chester, Clarendon, Fair field, Richland, Orangeburg, Horry, Hampton and Barnwell, while in spots over the central and western counties more rain would prove bene ficial L ying by of crops was bin dered by -heavy rains, and grass is threatning many fieks, although no harm has as yet been done. On the whole, crop prospEcts are decidedly better than at any time during the sea:son, except for such as are matured or ripening including peaches which are rottinZ badly. and melons which are inferior. The greater portion of the corn crop, is being laid by, greatly improved by the recent rains. Some fields that were badly parched by the previous hot, dry weather are revived and look promising. Early corn is about all in silk and tassel, but the stalks are low and generally small. It is firing in Berkeley, due to excess of moisture, ard also in Darlington. Chinch bugs continue to damage it in Chester and York. Late corn without exception is in fine condition. Cotten continues to improve in most sections: The exceptions are portions of Berkeley, Sumter and Hampton where it is too wet and the plant has begun to shed its fruit. It is yellow in Barnwell Cotton made rapid growth and fruited heavily during the week. Half grow:: bolls are numer ous in tne eastern counties. Fields are beginning to show up grassy in Iplaces and some will be laid by in foul condition. Some cotton has al ready been laid by. The condition of the plant is very promising over the entire State and in portions of Or angeourg as fine as ever seen. Sea island cotton is growing vigorously, fruitin g heavily, and no adverse con ditions whatever noted. ITobacco cutting and curing making favorable progtess. The reports on tooacco vary greatly, indicating a lack of uniformity in condition. Many re port it poor, some about an average, arnd a few an excellent crop both as to yield and quality. Rice continues to maintain its ex cellent condition, but sustained some injanry from caterpillars in Hampton. Upland rice not doing vell in Wil liamsburg. IS weet potato draws still being trans planted and are doing well every Iwriere. IPastures revived and afford good grazinrg generally. Grass for hay, making rapid growth. Melons are ripeniag and shipments are heavy. The size and quality of early mnelon are somewhat inferior, but later growth are more promising. Grapes continue to rot badly. They are ripening and being shipped from the southeasste:-n counties. Scupper nong vines are heavily fruited and the fruit in healthy condition.

The enrollment has been as follows: 1S92-3.........................749 1894-5........................... 563 1895 o............................414 1896 7........................... 440 The enrollment of students durirz the first two years was abnormally large by reason of the fact that many students came here out of mere curiosity and being without fixed pur pose soon left. Aain, few of the de partments at that time were adequately equipped, the barracks at times over crowded, four cadets frequen'ly oc cupying the same room, profelsors and studetts unacquainted with each other and thus, it is probable, that students seriously inclined left dis apnointed. At any rate the average attendance during the first two years was scarcely greater than during the past two. During theyear just closed, the average attendance has been about three hundred, all the rooms of the barracks ccc-pied most cf the tire, two ooys to the room. The cads who now come here have for the most part sirious purp-se and the pipu larity of the institution rests upon a much more solid basis than ever be fore. Clemson is stdl the largest school of the kind in the South. We are far better prepared for thorough work than ever before The mechanical department is al ready as well equipped as similar de partmeuts in the oldest and best southern agricultu:al and mechanical coileges. There is reason to believe that the department rray le made the roiytechnie :caool of the South, giv irg not only prac ical itsrt~rciou in the mechanic arts, but exzeflent courses in civil, eiec.ricai and mec : nicsl enginer-ring. The department of chemistry has f.ll alon been ad mirably conduc-d. F,-7 institutions c--r better opportunities for the study of chemistry. The departments of horticucure, bct.ny, veterinary science. datryio, geology and mineralogy c(f-r e~cci lent opportunities for instruction both practical and theoretica. The acide mic depar'ment, ircluding mathema tics, English and l:story c ters c: u - ses as extensive as can be in the time allowed. The agricultural department has suf fered tIrcm frequent changes. Tne chair of agriculture in a S:2uthern school is hard to fill. It calls for a man who possesses not only scientific training, but practical knowledge of the details of the far', ability to teach, and the power to inspire others with a love of agricultural u-suits. Such a man was the late Prof. Mc Gee, but his untimely death left the chair of agriculture vacant. The ;resent incumbent, Dr. W. J. Q iick, has suifered from serious illneas dur ing the past session and thus the work o, the department has bten area.ty impeded. Hence for reasons beyond my control this department has not met the reasonable expectations of its friends. IThe preparatory department has bzen and still is a necessity here, I have all along been of the opinion that only the most successful and ex perier ced teachers should be employed in the training school. Bright young graduates may, as tutors, render vala able assistance to college professors, but th~e fitting school demands the very best teaching t alent. The library contains several volumes and is dally opened to cadets I submit here with the financial state ments of the professors in the several departments. 'The work of holding farmers in stitutes has been constantly growing in magnitude and interest. Institutes have already been held at the follow ing places: Greers. Gaffney, Fair view. Johnston, Mochl, Seneca, and Wirnnsboro. Enagagements have been made for holding institutes in the fol lowing counties at an early day: Or angeburg, Darlington, Marion, Ker shaw, Xlork, Chester, Barn well, Sa luda, Newberry, Lexmeton, Union, Colleton, Anderson, A bbeville. Tne work o' the session just closed has been most successful. The average attendance of students has been better than ever before. Tne health of the students until the recent outoreak of malarial fever has been excellent. Tne deportment of cadets has been admir able. None have been expelled and but few dismissed. Tue faculty is composed of able, coerce-ic men and work harmoniously together. In conclusion it affords me great pleasure to thank most sincerely the members of the board who have supported me so loyally during the past four years and wish for Clemnson the largest possible success.

One of The Ittchestij Finds in the World's istory. The Associated Preas has received a leur from H A. S-aniev, president of the Birghamton, N. Y , Evenir g H raid Company, teiliu of the won. derf ul god discoveries of Alaska. Mr. Stanley wrote from St. Michaels Is land where he stopped on his way to the Yckoa mining region. Writing under date of June 30. he says: "The steamer Excelsior of San Fran cisco, was the first vessel to push her I ay through the ice to this station. 1 The Portland, froim Seattle, arrived fcur hours later. From these vessels we learned for the first time of Mc Kinley's election, the result of the Corbett-Fitzsimmons prize fight and other news of the fall and winter .The ice went out of the Yukon about June 15, and the river steamer Portus R. Wear, which wintered at Dawson, 2 - 225 miles up, reached St. Michael's June 27. The Wear brougnt authen tic news of some of the most wonder f ul gold strikes in all the world's his tory, and brought also some forty-five miners, every man bringing in from $5,00 to $10,000 of dust and nuggets, with an aggregate of more than $1, (00,000. Just how much the Wear brought in on its own account, as the exchange of provisions and supplies furnished the miners by the North American Trading and Transportation Company, could not be ascertained, but it is very large. The steamer Alice arrived at St. Michael's on June 29, bringing 25 mi. ners and half a million in gold for them and much on its own account. The passengers on the Alice confirmed the news reported by the passengers of the Wear, which is as follows: "The richest strike the world has ever known was made in the Klon dyke region last August and Septem ber, but the news did not get even to Circle City until December 15, when there was a great stampede over the 300 miles intervening between there and the newer fields. On August 12 George Cormack made the first great strike on Bonanza Creek, and on Au gust 19 seven claims were fitted in that region. Word got to Forty Mile and Icicle City, but the news was looked unon as a grub stake rumor. "On December 15, however. au. thentic news was carried to Circle City by J. Mx. Wilson of the Alaska Commercial Company and Thomas O'Brien, a trader. They carried not only news, but prospects, and the g'reatest stampede ever known in this I art of the world cooimenced. Those Ivb'o made the 300 miles first struck it rich. Of all the 200 claims staked out on the Bonanza and E! Dorado Creeks Inot one has proven a blank. Equally rich finds were found June 6 and 10 o2 Dominion Creek. Not less than 300 claims have been staked cut on Indian Creek, and the surface indications are that these are as rich as any of the Iothers. IThe largest nuevet yet found was picked up by Bud Hudson on claim No. 6 on the Bonat zi, at d was worth $257. Next in siz3 was one round by J Cleme als on Indian Creek, worth $231. The last four pvas Clements took out were worth $2 003 and one went $775. Bigger pools have been struck in other regions, but nowhere on earth has so rich a general find been made as tu this5 section,in all about 75 lucky miners hav-e reached St. Michael's. S:me brought but a portion of their clean-up, preferrirg to invest other portions in mines thiey know to be rich. Among the mst lucky are J. J. Clemen:s of Los Angeles. who has cleaned up about $175.000, whlo brought ount $5o,000 and invested the rest; Prof. L C. Lippy of Seattle, who arcught out about $50,000 and has $150.000 in sight. ann who claims bis mine is worta $500,000 or more; Wil liamn Stanley of Seattle. who cleaned up $112,000; Clarence Berry. $110,000; Henry Anderen, $55,000; Frank Kemmer. 45,00 T. J. Ee~y, $33, (.00; Wilha:ni Sloane of N'inaimo, B. C., $S5,000, and at least thirty more who will not talk, but stand guard over their treasure in tiei- staterooms. Then there are at least ttventy more men bringiog from $5.000 to $23,000. Ali this cold and more to come is the clean up of last winter's work. It must all come out via St. Michael's, and the buLy of su:>plies mustgo in that way. The two great transporta tion cornpaoies pushing in supplies are the North1 America.u Trading and Transportation Compn'y and the Alaska Coimmercia! Comtany. " Further pasiculars will follow in about fot days, on t'e arrival of 'sext steamer, as Mr. Stanley will re mna'n Q inaska and gather all the in f rmation be can. A Tuthfal 31urderer.
