The Engineer and Fi' eman of the Freight Train, and a MAi Clerk Buried in the Wreck, WL:ch Was Caused by a Misunderstanding of Orders. Passenger train 66 on the Seaboard, north bound, and a scuth bound freight, collided near, Blaineys four teen miles north of Columbia on Tues, day morning of last week, and as a result three men are dead and two are seriously injured. According to the statements of those on the pas senger train the wreck was caused by a general misunderstanding Of orders. The regular passenger train left Co lumbia one hour late. The Forida Flyer passw d the freight at Blainess and it is believed that E igiaeer Smeck, in charge of ie freight, thcught that thera wa, a clear ros ahead. He pulled cu' of the siding with twenty cars attac 'd, and jist ahead the passenger tem approached It was too late to stop the freight. but E2gineer R' binson, of the pas senger train, applied his airbrakes and the train was brought up with a j rk, throwing every one cut of their seats. It was eue to the nerve of Engineer Rcbion that the lives of the passengers were aved. As soon as the crash came the pas sengers organiz-d a r- scue squad. Engineer J. W. Robinson was found under his engine with both legs broken. His colored fireman, Dn Douglass, was also under the debris badly bruised up, Engineer A. A. -Smack, of the freight, and fireman W. A. Herbert, colored, were buried under the ruins of the freight engine-both instantly killed. The mail car was the only one of the passenger cars demolished. Mali Clerk H. A. Pattilo was buried under the wreckage and instantly killed. It is reported that a helper on the mail train is also killed, but the posti. tle people here know nothing of it. Express Messenger H E. Hinton had his shoulder fraciurtd, bus Con ductor W. M. Whitehurst, in charge of the passenger train, escaped unin jured. As soon as the news of the wreck was heard, arrangements were made for bringi-g the train to the city. The budAes tf those killed couic not be brougnaz u, of the wreckage. but the injared were brought in a non and removed to the hosptals. Engineer R binson lives in that city, residing at Mrs. Watson's, on Laurel street. All of the others re side either in Raleigh or Jackson vlle. The rairoad commrL1slon, ace mpa nied by a number of newspa~per mee and Dr. E C. L Adams and Snrgeon Weston, of the Seaboard, went up to the icene of the wreck about one o'cck. An investigation has been ord' red by the commission 'and testimony will be taken as to the causes at once. R.ilroad men here say that ttne morning was very foggy and that it was almost impostsiblez to see anything a short distance eif. It is also saio that the freight conductor had been on duty thirty hours and was phy'si cally unable to interpret the orders. This will all be brcuzht out in the testimony to be taken before the railroad commission.-C.~umbia .Re cord. _ _ _ Highly Conneoted Beggar. Wth his mind wrecked by years of hardship, George Adams Robin-on, a descendant of two presients of the United States, a Harvard graduate o' the class of 1861: a veteran cf the civil war, a tnirtys c and degree Ma son, stoed before the city court a: Bidgeport, Conn., TuesdAy morning pleading for his liberty.

Dr. H. F. Freeman, of WilSOD, N C offers some practic .1 suggestions to his brother farmers in a ccmmuni cation to the Progressive FAmer of Raleigh, N. C. New is che time for our farmers. says Dr Feeman, to be gin to do all the plowing they can. Where the land has mi c' litter on it, or where it lay out 1ast year, these lands should be b:oken now and again before planting. You should remember that for some years now our springs have been late and the land wet, so it was bard to get land broken in time. So look out for the good days now and start the two horse plows from six to eight in shes deep, and where the land is rough, pulver:zt it with harrows. Now is the time to clean out ditsh es and let off water so the land can dry out thoroughly: This can not b done to the best advantage just before planting. Clean out, clear up and keep clean every foot of space abiut the home and farm now while you have time. It ycu have not already plowed up your garden do so the first nice day that comes. Plow deep and spread broad-cast with any rough litter ma nure you have on tt p af ter the plow Do this twice this spring before plant ing and you will have a good garden if the rest is done as well. Tnere are hundreds of little thigs that you can do noff, which will add wonderf lly to your success this year, it you wl look out for them and do them now wnile you have time. How about the cow and call? What aro ycu going to do them this summer? And those sboats, which you expec. to make your meat from next Decem ber? Where are you going to keep them? Can you get to your hors- s, cows, or hogs, without jumping from place to place to kaep from goiog Into the mud up to your sh -e-strings? Where is the stove wood-ander the wLodshed or out in the mud some two aundied yards from tah ksteaeL? Njw, my friend, you see all these thirgs to be done; out don't get coo us? to be organized into the Cotton Groweis' organiz3tion. This is the most important thing you will be alled upon to do this year, for the general good. Tne agent will soon be in your county. Be sure to look out for him and help him all you owt. rake up this matter and get all the information ycu can, so when the or gan z r comes you will be ready te elp him. Bo sure to see that every man in your townihip goes to the township m3etings waen the time eme. Now, by the finst of Apr'l 'vary owship shulrd be organized in South, Carolina.

Lee, Commander. in-Chief of the CONHFMDRATE ARMY First Section of an :Address Delvered Recently by Dr. John A. Wyatt Be fore the New York Southern Society. A Grand Tribute to a Graad Man. The fol'owing is the first section of a speech recently delivered before the New York Southerr 3ociety by Dr. John A. Wyatt. Next week we will publish the second section of this speech. Both sections should N read in every school In the c)untn: Tne South may claim with pardon able pride that it furnished not only the president of each of the divided sections in the struggle far the estab lishment of a separate Confederacy, but the great centril figure of the Civil war for the North as well as for the South. History will accord that Abraham Lincoln was the one conspic uous figure on the side of the Union, and for the South none will challenge that claim for Lee. They were, more over, representatives of the widely divergent classes of our sectio2, the vle'-eten and the patrician. The story 'f L n.ola might well be classed with "The short ald simple annals of the poor." while Lee cme straight from the oavaliers and their descendants, the wealthy culturad aristocracy of Vir ginia. His father, Richard Henry Lee, better known as "Light Hurse Har ry," the bean sabreur of the Amartia army, was a consoicuous figure in the drst conti:-ental congress. It was he who, on Jane 7, 1776, nroved the reso lutton "taat these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, fies and in dependent State'; that they are ab solved from all allegiance to the Brit sh crown, and that all political con ection between them and the StatEs if Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally disiolved." He and his brother were singers of bhe Declaration of Independence, and ad it was this same Lle who pro laimed. George Washington as the 'first in war, first in peace and 6rst ] n the nearts of his countrymen." I Upon his mother's side he claimed i ,he lineage of the Carters of Shirley. Brn on January 19 1807, his ch.id- i aood and youth were passed in the cu). ;vated circles of the tidewater region f Vlrginia At the age of 18 he en ered West P.int and completing t'2e )urse cf study without a single mark f demerit he graduated second in a -as of 46. For several years he servUd n the engineer corps constructing f cast defecces, anrd for a part of this ime in charge of the astronomical ~eartment of the government. In 832 he n-arried the daughter ofi horge W. Pa.rie Cuntis, the adoptedi on of Gen. Washington, and later was made emptain on the staff in the lexcan war. Of all the brilliant reputations I mong the younger group of offlcers rhich were won in ttiat campaign 1 Eeeds was the most conspicuous. Uo z im the commander In chief leaned as pon no other. At Cerro Gordo het was breveted maj -r for ex.,eptional alantry. At CJontreras and Chern >ua~oO he was efflcially proclalimed fort eritorious conduct, and on account. f a wound received in she assaeult ont 2tapultepec, September 13, 1847, hei ~eeved his promotion to lieutenant oloneit It was here at Cntreras, when the" my was baffled, that the tick eye of In discovered, by a dar ng reconnaissancga line of approachc adden from the enemay by which the osition might be taken. This the ommander-in-chief of the army char cer rmed as "the greatest feat of1 >hysica~l and moral courage performed 1 y any individual during the entire amrpa'gn." In his eff.:ial report Gan. Scott aid: I am ompelled to make special. neton of Capt. R. E L'e, engineer. 1 e greatly distinguished himself a' 1 he siege of-Mera Cruz, was indefati rable during these operations in re :onnalssances, as daring as laborious.t ~nd of the ut-most vaius. Nor was he] ess conspicuous in planting batteres i ad in conducting columns to their: stations -under the heavy fire of .the eemy." He further says: "Gapt ee, so constantly distinguishe, aisot ore Importaut orders from me, until e fainted from a wound and the less f t wo nights sleep at the batteries " Aft er the Mexican warhe was ap poted, in 1852, sr;perintendent of the military acadIeasy at West Point. and in 1855, lieutenant colonel of the acn-d cavalry, under Col.

Never hand Waved sword from stain as free, Nor purer sword led braver band, Nor braver bled for a brighter Imnd, Nor brighter land had a cause so grand, Nor cause a chief like Lee! The story of his military career is practicl'v the story of the army of northern Virginia, ar d it reads more like romance tcan history. Tortugh four years of the bloodiest war known to history at that time that army, c-:mposed cf -the flwer of S~uthern ma.nbo..2, under its matchless leader, made a record of victories never sur passed in the annals of warfare, a r, e rd whic'i we of the South and our children'a children to the remotest ages should claim as our proudest heritage. He assumed command of this army in June, 1862, when McClellan was immediately in front of R:chmond. On June 26, with an army iL f 3rior In numbers and equIpment, he attacked the forces of McClellan in their in orenchment and for seven days the bloody confl et raged, until Mclellan took refuge under the protection of his gunwoats at Harrison's Landing. This army defeated; Lee turned upon a second larger than his own, march rg upon Rtchmond from another di rection. By one of the most brilliant and d34ring movements in. the history of wars Lee with his ab'e lieutenant, hcksorn, rcuted Pope' army at Grove ton and Second Manasses and drove him for safety under the protecio:' ci tle fortificatilons at Washington. Mc ielan hari been removed for .his de 'eet and Pe'pe fllowed in - bis train. Disregarding both of .these defeated armies, Lie moved rap'dly into MIAry Land, capturnd asrper's Ferry and its arge garrisoa on tfa way and f uxht t Antietam on September 17, 1863, tbe blooditst battle of the Civil war. KceClellan, who after Pope's defeat had >een reinstated in command, . was igain removed for failing to i- cT a rusing defeat upon Lie, and Barn ide was made commder-in chief of he army of the Potomac. In December of that year this same Lrmy of Lee signally defeated the ,rmy of Burnside at Fredericksburg. urnside was removed and Gen. Hook r placed in command. In May, 1863, lIoolker marched on Richmond, having sued a general order in which he aid that the Confederate army must ther ingloriously fly or come out rom behind its Intrenchments, where ortain destruction awaited." A few lays after this announcement was 2ade Hooker's army was surprised nd attacked by L-e and Jackson sim taneously in front and rear at Ohan ellorsvlle and overwhelmed, fceing n the greatest disorder from the -id. L:-e then Invaded Pennsylvania here at Gettysburg after three days f bloody erjnnfict, unable to carry the %deral position, he remained 24 hours line of battle with his army in their rmediate front inviting attack and en withdrew without Interruption o Virginia. It was in 1864, in the campaign rom the Wilderness to Petersburg, bat the star of Lee reached Its zmnith. Jder bis leaidership the army of orthern Virginia up to this tim3 In ifensive warfare had held every bat lefild up'n which it had fought with he exception of Gett3 sburg and harsburg or Antietam, and upon ase fields, although It failed to beat e army pitted against it, It stood In attle array on each occasIon for 24 ~ours, was not attacked and marched way unn~o'ested. He was now to show that In defen le fight.ing he was a greater master if the art of war than in his t ffnsive perations. Grant, with the largest rmy ever marshalled upon this conti et und.ar a single. commander, with nimited res uroes of men and money ith the world .to draw upon for al: hat was most useful in dtstructive ar fare, advanced up'on -this army of ae's wag~ting in.everything but val r, and.soidecimnated that as Grant rpressed it-'it had robbed the cradle ud the grave" to fill the gaps be een the veterans that still survived. here folowed from Miay 5, 1864, in e Wilderness, at Spottsylvanis ourt house, at Cold Harbor and the 'orth Anna a series of conflicts so rightful In their havoc that the his ory of this campaign might well be rritten In bloed. The .most r: c 'nt, and in my opin on the most ruitabie, history of the Jnited States, written by James Ford modes of Bost ;e, a conscientious stn nt, a capable saaivst and just re ~order, s~tys: 'Grant's loss from 14ar to Jur~e 12 in the campaign fromt e R ipr.an to theJams war, 51.029, nun.ber nearly cq xal to Lee's whek my at the commene-menlt of the nion advances.

A far as the Confederates were con erjed; the annals nf the stige of ~t~rsurg mIght well be:termed the onals of starvation, ekosure and misey.' True to its colors the army of Lee was starving tc dea~h. The comn miary general reported that "the my of nort bern Virginia was living it:rlly from hand to mouth." Beef sold fer 86 per pound and flour at $1;000 a barel. At one time, pleading with his government for food, Lee said that for thie days his men had been'ihi ine ofbtlnd ha not tae mat. 12 the early spring uf 1S65, af er nine montbs of persistent effort, Grant with 113 000 men well fed, clad and armed, broke through the l:nes de fendea by Lee's force (f 49,000 veter ans. hvlf s'arved, ragged and most of them shoeless. Then came the end at Appomattox, when on April 9, 1865, the remnant of t -is once magniicont army, now numbering less than 28 000 (>f which only 15.000 were carrying arms) bur rendad, and the C.nfedercy was no more. Uoon this world's stage no more pa tbetic scene, ao more heroic incident tas Ever been witnessed. With what oride the generation yet unborn shall claim decent from those who, true to tneir sense of duty, which Lee him se f said was "the sablimest word in the E3ghsh language," fought under the banner of this imauortal soldier and died on those victorious fields, or, in surviving, stood true to his colors at Appomattox. In his farewell address to his army, he said: "You will take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from -the consciousness of duty faithfully per formed: and I earnestly pray that a merciful God will extend to you His blesing and protection. . With an rg ceasing admiration of your constance and devotion to ycur country and a grateful remembrance of your kind and genorous cons!deration of myself, I bid you an E fA;ctionate farewell." Soon after the surrender he accept ed the presidency of Wasbsngton col lege at L-xington, Va. He had ref us ed large proffers of money for his ser vices -or the use of his nam- for vari ous enterprises. He declined them all, saiing he felt it his duty to live with his people and to endavor in educating the youth of the South to do all in his power to aid in the restoration of peace and harmony and the acceptance of the policy of the Sate or geueral government. Though'war in all ages and with all people arouses that wilch lis worst Ii auman nature, and though bloodiest and bitterest is interzeoine war, it seems. d! Mfult to believe even aftsr the lapae of so short a time a forty .ears that for the -part this nobl mmn ;ock in obedience to his ccnvieca: of duty Atdrew Jo1nson, then pcsl. dent ef the United States comen his indictment for treaso. Again:: this unwarranted -and Ignoble act th; great sold:er Grant arcse and sa5ed the hand f malice and persecu-ion. It seems ( quia ly incret ile to canceive that within two morths cf tbe death of Lee, which tno place on Oztobe 12, 1870, speakirg to a resolution which bad for its oj st the return of Arlington to the family of. Lee, Char les Sumner raid in his islace. in the senate: .. "Eoquent senators have already characterized the proposition and tie traitor it seeks to commem orate. -I am not disposed to speak of Gen. Lee. It is enuugh to say that 1 he stands high in the catalogue of 1 those who have imbued their hands in their country's bicod. I hand him i over to the avenging pen of history." As man and soildier "the avenging e pen of history" has already written this of Lee. In nobility of character, In moral grandeur, attested by his hu a nanity, he lived "the model for al S future times." In the annals of war lis place is with the greatest. The second section, which we will publish next week, will show where 'the aveng'rg pen of history" hat >!aced the immortal leader of the lonfederate armies, whose name will hbine in the pages of history long ifter the fanatic Sumner has been for ~otton. - T&3LLY CA3E R ASa.
