f- BMP; J’ jV«-v slter purport inf to ■ tor Gen. Roberts. JeAraon Dari*, and e« Array of Northern Jane 10. 1893,” U published r York Herald of Banday: . Fmidenti I beg leave to brtqglo yoar attention a subject with reference to which I have thought that the course pursued bv writers and ^Makers among os has bad a tendency to interfere with our success. I refer to the manner in which the demonstra tion of a desire for peace at the North has been received in our country. **1 think that there can be no doubt that journalists and others at the Booth, to whom the Northern people nalnrally look for a reflection of our opinions, have mettheso indications in such wise as to weaken the hands of the advocates of a pacific policy on the part|of the Federal government and give much encouragement to those who urge a continuance of the war. “Recent political movements in the United Btatos and the comments of influential newspapers npon them have attracted my attention particularly to this subject, which I deem not un worthy of the consideration of your Nkoellency nor inappropriate to pc ad verted to roe In view of its connection Witf) the situation of military aflairs. “Conceding to our enemies the aupe riority claimed by them in numbers, rosonrees and all the means and ap- E linnet* for carrying on the war, we avo no right to look for exemption from the military consequences of the vigorous use of these advantages, ex cept by such deliverance as the mercy of Heaven may accord to the courage of our soldiers, thejustice of our cause and the constancy and prayers of our people. While making the most we nan of the means of resistance we possess and gratefully accepting the measure of success with winch Uod hns blessed our efforts as an earnest of his approval ami favor, it is novertho- less the part of wisdom to carcfhlly measure and husband our strength, mid not to expect from it moref than in the ordinary course of affairs, it is capable of accomplishing. We should not, therefore, conceal from ourselves that our resources In men arc con stantly diminishing, and the dispro portion in this respect between a* and our eueraies, if they continued in their efforts to subjugate us, steadily aug menting. The decrease of (lie aggre gate in this army, as disclosed by the rsturns, affords an illustration of the fact. Its effective strength varies from time to time, but the falling off in its aggregate shows that its ranks are growing weaker and that its losses are not supplied by recruits. “Under these circumstances we should neglect no honorable means of dividing and weakening our enemies, that they may feel some of the difficul- * ties experienced by ourselves. It seems to me that the most eflcctual mode of accomplishing this object, now within our reach, is to give all the encourage ment we can, consistently with truth, to the rising'jieacc party of the North. Nor do I tliMik we should, in this con nection, make nice distinction between those who declare for |>eace uncondi tionally and those who advocate it as a means of restoring the Union, how ever much we may prefer to the form er. “We should bear in mind that the friends of peace at the North must make concessions to the earnest desire that exists in the minds of their coun try fora restoration of the Union, and that to hold out such a result as an in ducement is essential to the success of their party. Should the belief that peace will bring back the Union be come general the war would no longer be supported and that, after all, is what wo arc interested in bringing about. When peace is proposed to us it will be lime enough to discuss its terms, and it is not the part of prudence to spurn the proposition in advance mere ly because those who wish to make it biclievc, or affect to believe, that it will result in bringing us hick to the Union. We eqtertain no such appre hensions, nor doubt that the de- sire of our people for a distinct and independent national existence will prove as steadfast Hiider the Influence of peaceful times as it has shown itself In the midst of war. “If tho views I have indicated meet the approval of vour Excellency, yon will best know bow to give effect to them. Should you deem them inex pedient or impracticable, I think you will nevertheless agree with me that wo should at least carefully abstain from measures or expressions that tend to discourage any party whoso purpose is peace. “With the statement of my own opinion on the subject, the length of which you will excuse, I leave to your better judgment to determine the highor course to bo pursued* “I am, with great respect, your obedient servant, U. E. Lek, General.” JaNKIIWa EFFECTIVE CHARGE. ■ > . *Y, . > fe'’ Four Maxican Mutineer* KilleU ami Tw*lre Captured In Short Order.

He says that his troops were in ambuscade when the leaders & . came along, and the man in front made a tweak with his revolver, which caused . the troops to fire. A charge was then made by Lieutenant Jenkins, and four mutineers were killed and twelve cap tured in about fifteen minutes. Tie ; . mutineers wore scattered along the ». road ter a long distance.

Resolved, That, os an additional mark of respect, the Honse shall, at the conclusion of these ceremonies, adjonru. Resolved, That the Clerk eomnrani cate these resolutions to the Senate. Touching these resolutions Mr. Brat ton spoke as follows: Mr. Speaker, these resolutions are offered for the consideration oC the House, that we may perform a sad doty to departed worth; that we may do honor to one who has occupied a seat on this floor for several successive terms. His career in this House is best known to the honorable gentle men who were associated with him here, and is confidently intrusted to their care. lu the exercise of the mel ancholy privilege claimed by myself on this occasion, I speak necessarily rather from the standpoint of the con stituents of my distinguished and lamented predecessor, of those who knew him as boy and man at home, and who attested their appreciation by repeatedly returning him to this truly important field of service. John Hamilton Kvins was born in Spartanburg district, South Carolina, on the 18tn day of July, 1830. His father, Samuel Evins, being a man of ample means, gave his son the benefit of a good academic and collegiate course. Mr. Evins gradusted at the South Carolina College in the class of 1853, and at once began the study of the law, his chosen profession. In December, 1856, he was admitted to the bar and entered upon the practice of his profession in the town of Spar tanburg. He continued to be so en gaged until he was called by his State to leave this quiet pursuit and serve her in another field. He joined the first company that was organized in his county for military duty in the war betweeu tho States; was elected lienteuant; afterward became cap tain, and served the cause be had spoused with faithfulness and gal lantry until disabled for field ser vice by a wound received at the battle of Seven Tines. Though retired from the field lie was promoted to the rank of lieutenant-colonel and assigned to light duty in (the rear. While thus employed he was called upon by the people of Spartanburg to represent them in the State Legislature, which he did to their entire satisfaction. At the close of the war Mr. Evins reopened his law office in the town of Spartanburg, and devoted himself closely and successfully to his profes sion until 1876, when he was called to a highor sphere of honor and usoftil- ness. He entered the Forty-fifth Con gress a* the Representative of the fourth Congressional district of South Carolina, and served in that capacity, witb faithfulness to his immediate con stituents and fidelity to the whole country, antll stricken down by dis ease. His death, thbugh sudden, was not unanticipated by himself and his friends. His health had been declin ing for a year prior to bis demise; and, after consultation with eminant physi cians, he became satisfied that his dis ease was incurable. This conviction did not turn him aside from the path of duty; he entertained it with calm, Christian resignation, and moved for ward in the discharge of ids public duties as undisturbe<r ss if no shadow of death was impending over him. On the 20th of Octooer last, at his home in Spartanburg, in (lie bosom of his family, at 11 o'clock in I lie fore noon, while seated in a chair, the mes senger came to call him across the river. He was not found unprepared for Llie summons. In earlv life lie had made a profession of religion and at tached himself to the Presbyterian church, the church of his fathers. In 1867 he was chosen one of the dea cons of the Spartanburg Presbyterian church, and in 1*70 was called to be a ruling elder in the same church. From 1868 to his entrance upon his career os a member of CongreM be was super intendent of the Sunday School of his church, and devoted himself to this work witb characteristic earnestness and singleness of purpose. Sncb, Mr. Speaker, are, as it were, the stations which mark the course of the life which has passed away; the prominent events which, in the lives of men as of nations, are the hill-tops and mountain summits seen from afar and affording a general idea of their progress or decay, but no definite knowledge of the causes producing them, nor any Intimate acquaintance with their real history. They are but points of observation from which the thread of the real life may be traced, from which the real character may be read, and the ftill history studied and learned. Subjection to such scrutiny W necessary to bring out the true force and merit of Mr. Evins. From this, the highest plane of pub lic service to which Ive attained, the track of his life down through its fields of usefulness to his State, his county, his town, his church, and into the privacy of his family circle, glowed with the same light,' and was charac terized by a constant and consistent uprightness born of high principle, llis cultured and highly developed moral sense kept him ever alive to the dutv of the hoar, whether it led him to the moantain-top or through the lowly vale, whether it called him to positions of distinction and honor or along the humble walks of true charity among the weak, the poor, and the needy. In that great conflict between the principles of good and evil which seems to be the heritage of ha inanity, and of wbicli this world seems to bo the battle-ground, the life of this pure- minded gentleman, guided by sound principles of morality sad troe Chris tian senUmeift, baa made for itself no uncertain record. As a man, as a eiti- ten, as a neighbor, in the conduct of his private and professional business, in the service of bis State in both peaoe and war. in every relation of Hn, his T . mSLSi tfessm! from aM met Iona try, I bow vont tMl Mr ised; that bis lofloeuce bsca, as else where, has been for good, has boon a potent eontribtiou toward tbs tlon of those relations of roof oonldaBoa between the membrfa of this “tadlssoliibls Untou” which is so usee sassy to Un fell enjoyment by mgr of tho blesalitgs which our i noons para ble system of government wai de signed to eeenre to all. In the dearb of Mr. Evlna w« have lost one with a character for bos tasty so high that itender eooM not reads it, a merit so modest that envy never ae> sailed it, a public spirit so uniform that suspicion of self-interest never im pugned it, a ChrisUan consistency so uuaesuining that it escaped the sneers of (be scoier, and ossa whose modera tion and wisdom in his public life, unmoved by partisan or sectional pur poses, were doing much to close the gap of estrangement betweeu Use two great sections of this Union which happily for the good of this whole conutry is every day becoming nar rower and narrower,' and will soon, I hope, be a thing of Use past. Bpeeclies were also made by Messrs. Dibble and Tillman, of South Caro lina, Browne, of Indiana, Hardeman, of Georgia, George, of Mississippi, Dowd, of North Carolina, and Lau- ham, of Texas.

And when, at a critical period In (be history of the Bute to which I belong, while the weight of aspersion and mis representation and of misapprehension was bearing upon ns with ruinous pressure, we succeeded in sending Mr. Evins here as our repressatatlve and [exponent, it was with the expectation that the parity end sincerity of bis afanfUetorsnd tbs honesty of Us politi cal aontiawsto would vindicate us from A Omod Day’* Att«»4aae»—-Hauglaf of lh« Boll -Enlarrlag Exhibit* and Spaeo— ' Iowa and hor BaUor. New Okleans, January 29.—There was a large attendance at the Exposi tion to-day. Visitors are rapidly ar riving. Most of them are to remain until after Mardi'Gras. In the main bnilding all exhibits are in place, and in a few days the sound of the saw and hammer will be unheard except in tho way of improvements. In this con nection many exhibitors having gain ed confidence by the favorable torn in the tide of affairs, are enlargiim their space where it is admissabte or beauti fy lug the displays which had hereto fore been deemed cemptete. In the government building very little re mains undone. Commissioners of various states are looking forward to thefr respective days when excursion parties, now in process of Arrangement, will arrive from different States. It was the original intention to place the liberty bell on a platform in the centre of the government building, but this evening it is learned that the commit tee having the matter nnder discussion have decided to place it just as it hangs on the car in the main building near the Mexican silver nugget. This locality it out of the most conspicuous [mints on the grounds and its selectiop would not involve the handkpg of thfe bell, which would ortierwine L* neces sary in placing it upon a platform in the government building. It is farther understood that the final locating of tho bell will take place Wednesday next, with appropriate ceremonies. Iowa was awarded (ho gold medal and sweepstakes for the best butter made in the world. She was also given the first premium for the largest and best display of potatoes and other vegeta bles, and the first premium for fruits from Northern States. Premiums in corn, wheat and other grain will be awarded to-morrow. New Oklkans, January 31.—The weather to-day was bright and balmy, and the Kxposition grounds were crowded witli Northern visitors, hav ing really their first experience ef a true Southern climate. Newly plant ed trees have revived under the genial warmth and make glad the hearts of horticuituralLts. Orange trees bear ing fruit and blooming plants are feat ures which impress the visitor by their novelty. Among the arrivals to-day were a carload of excursionists from Iowa who, by special arrangements, will make a ten (lavs stay here, living during their visit in their sleeping cars. They came in over the Southern Pa cific route. Nkla Diaeaaea. I have a little daughter seven years old, who for tbe last four years ba< been afflicted with a peculiar skin eruption on the face aud one hand. I have tried seven or eight physicians, among them tbe best in California and in this province, bat to no purpose. The child kept growing worse. For- tnnatelr, I saw a statement in a 8t. Pan), Minn., paper, of a care of a disease similar to that of my child. It was effected by Swift’s Specific. I secured six bottles and commenced giving it to mr IHUe girl. In less than one week this terrible disease, which had baffled all tbe known remedies within reach, began to diaappaur. Sbe has been taking it three months—is perfectly well, aud her skin is as clear as wax." G. A. Smith, Trenton, Ontario Province, Canada. March 28, 1884. What a Minuter Maya.

C.,-January 29.— Ex-Representative Joseph Powell, ef the fifteenth or Bradford Congree- stooal District of Pennsylvania, to in this city, taking in the situation in view -of tbe change of Administration about to take place. Ex-Representa tive Poaeil is a Democrat and was a a her ef Congress about ten years ago. In order to post himself on the general situation m>sa drat sources, Ex-Representative Pnweil visited Al bany very quietly about two weeks ago and called on bis old friend, Lieutenant-Governor HU1, now Gov ernor of New York. The Lientcnant- Governor introduced him to the Pros- ident-elect. It was auder these most fevorable auspices that tho genial, dignified and handsome but somewhat frosted ex-Representatlvo from Brad ford approached the next Chief Mag istrate of the nation. At Mr. Cleveland’s request Mr. Powell gave him sncb information as be possessed concerning politics in the Northern Tier, after winch the Presi dent-elect said: “I presume your peo ple begin'to talk about the offices and are making thair plans for a sweeping and a saromary change?” ‘'Yes, LM. ink a general change in tbe office^** said the ex-Reprcsenta- tive, “it expected. The Democratic party has control of the Administra tion and its members want the pat ronage.” “Do they understand,” said Mr. Cleveland, “that where an officer lias bceng faithfttl and efficient he will be allowed to serve out tbe term of bis commission at least, whether it be one, two or three years? To make an effi cient Administration we need expe rienced officers. There will be few changes at present at least. The de tails of administration should go on. and the changes which are made should be made in the regular sequence of business. Then there will be no em barrassment to the transaction of busi ness nor sudden disturbance of the Government. This can tic accom plished by taking up such individual questions ns tlicy arise.” Mr. Powell said that ho had heard that such would probablv lie the posi tion of the new Administration, but that he did not know how true the declarations were. “Yes, that is correct,” said the Pres ident-elect, “and I wish it understood where an officer has been faithful I do not think it good policy to turn him out. This will apply in a [Kilitical as well as administrative sense.” “But, Mr. President, where the parties have meddled in political af fairs—wliere they have been bitter partisans?” “I intend.” replied Mr. Cleveland, “to move very carefully in filling the offices. 1 shall not make many changes, and particularly not nntil I am thor oughly posted. I mnst rely on my friends to aid me in this.” Tl)te conversation Urns continued for about half an hour, the President-elect indicating very clearly that ho would be glad to see his friends and hour wh&t they had to say, but that he would inive more iin|s>rtant matters to deal with than the simple doling out of patronage. Mr. Powell savs that he was *truck,with the statesman-like view of the President-elect takes of the situation and the future, and lie believed if the Democratic party knew Its Interests it would not seek to em barrass him, bnt abide his own time in all matters affecting party control and interest. rtkn [Letter to Uu Avfueta CkrenieU.)

Some lives are re ported lost. The train consisted of fonr coaches well filled with passen gers. The accident occurred between Dan forth Avenue Station and Ceme tery Bridge. The train was running rapidly when the wheel of the forward coach broke aud the car was derailed. It ran into a eoul train and was onset. Tbe other three cars were wrecked. Tbe accident was witnessed by a mounted policeman, Who telephoned tbe focls to police headquarters. Va rious hospitals have dispatched stir- G ions and ambulances to the scene. p to tbe present time twenty-five wounded persons hare been removed from tbe wreck. Many more are to be extricated. Lateb.—No person was killed, and it is not supposed that any will die from their injuries; but an astonishing number of people were hurt, more or less serious. A good many limbs were broken, and the inmates of one car which bad bumped over the ties some distance and then upset were clad principally in rag* when rescued. Twenty insensible persons were taken from one car which had a similar occurrence; eight of these remained insensible from one to two hoars after their rescue. The overturned stoves set fire to the wreck in several places, bat tbe fire was promptly extinguished by tbe railroad men. Tbe accident was caused by a broken wheel, but no explanation of tlie cause of the wheel breaking has been discovered. ~f*» PLOT TO BLOW UFTEE CAPITOL.

Washington, Jan nary 29.—It is re ported hereon excellent authority that a plot to blow np tbe capitol building has been discovered and is now being investIgNtcd. Tbe matter is only known to a few government officials, and is being investigated. The story, is in brief, that a woman employed as translator in tbe State Department made this discovery some days before tbe London explosion and communicated it to a Democratic member of Con gress. He, talked with a few friends about iL laying tbe foots as she bad them before them and they decided to put it in tbe bands of tbe State Depart ment for investigation, which baa oeen done.

The party had been on « spree from early last even ing, and had they not been discovered ul wonM THE PYRAMID OF I’UOSFHATKS, about 30 feet high. It is entirely cov ered with phosphates—both land and river rock—30 tons being used for the purpose. Each of the four sides of the pyra mid bears one of the following inscrip tions, viz: Annual shipment of phosphate rock, 400,000 tons. Fertilizers manufactured, 8:’.,000,- 000. Annual product of mines, $2,500,- 000. Annual shipments of fertilizers, 155, 000 tons. Jars are ranged around the face of the pyramid containing ground rock and ingredients used in mauufaftnring it into fertilizers. There arc also bags of prepared fert ilizers. The value of the phosphate mines in South Carolina is said to exceed in value the gold mines in any Southern State. The display is certainly the most unique in the whole Exposition and is attracting much attention. On the east of the pyramid comes the display of naval stores. No out sider l>elieved that South Carolina would dare enter the lists in an exhibit of this product with her “tar heel” namesake and neighbor, but she is doing so in very creditable style. The exhibition of fossils is the lar gest in the United States. That of Indian relics is also fine, all of the lat ter corning trom Chester county, and supposed to have belonged to the Ca tawba tribe. The display of building material is very complete. It consists of granite, soasptone, marble, &c. There arc also specimens of gold and iron ore. The Haile Gold Minim; Company lias a case of special exhibits, among which are imitation gold bars showing annua) output of mines. Among the commercial fidicries dis play is a trout that weighed fourteen and a half pounds, several large carp, etc., and an alligator killed by Gov. Thompson. There is a superb display of the natural fiiistoiy of the Slate trom tho Charleston mn«eurn. Two huge lumps of chalk are shown one from Jlie McXaUicr company, of Aiken country; the other from the Davies mine. There are on exhibition manufactur ed goods from the following mills viz: The V r Huclnse, Graniteville, Lang le^-, Charleston Manufacturing Com pany: Felzer Manufacturing Compa ny, Piedmont, Huguenot, Cherokee Falls, Clifton Mills and the Columbia hosiery mill. The Palmetto State is in the front also as a hay-producing Slate, there l>cing on exhibition halos of lleniHida hay from the Hngood farm, Johnson grass from the Child* farm, beddes crab grass, [xsavines, Ac., from various contributors. Timlier and naval stores arc special features of the display. For the Exposition to bring the greatest practical and immediate bene fit to States so far trom here as Georgia and South Carolina, there ought to be reduced return rates by rail through those States. Then visitors here from tbe North and Europe would he led to return by way of those States and sec for themselves in bulk what is here presented in detail. THE PLANTERS’ ASSOCIATION. town Cfcalf*-TIM BHMStestMagr. ‘ [Aw* tke OehmUo Register.] Tbe Board of Directot* of tbe The ological Seminary . met in Augusts, Ga., on the 28th instant, the entire Board being present—thirteen in dum ber. " Tho principal purpose of tbe •pedal meeting was tlie election of professor* to fill the vacauole* caused by the resignation* of ProfeMon Hemphill and Boggs and the removal of Profes sor Woodrow. The Rev. Dr. J. A. Lefovre, of Balti more, Md., one of the finest Greek scholars on the continent and an ac complished teacher, as well aa an elo quent preacher, was chosen to fill the chair of Biblical Literature. Dr. Lefevre had been on a provion* occa sion (in 1874) chosen to fill a choir in the Faculty of the Seminary—whea Dr- Adger resigned on account of the action of the Genera] Assembly in Columbus, Miss. There is good rea son to ‘believe, however, that ho will accept this time, as lie has a preference for the chair to which he was chosen on Wednesday last. The Rev. 'Dr. J. D. Tadlock, of Bristol, Tenn., who lias been professor in Washington College, and who has for a number of vears oeen president of King College, 'fennessee, was chosen to fill the chair of Church History. Tlie election of the above professors was made unanimous. Tho election of a professor for the Perkins chair was deferred to tlie mect- to be held in this citv in May |i9H| PCU-Sl ing next. Many in the church think that the duties of the Perkins Profcssor- ship are too limited to occupy the en tire time of a professor. The reports of the Board to the contro'ling Synods for the [>ast three years show Hint the professor in this chair only gave t\Vb recitations a week, while the other professors had trom eight to twelve recitations a week, and the feeling is very strong against making this chair almost a sinecure. There is a desire on the part of many to expand its duties so as to include the whole field of Christian apologetics, especially as this was the wish of Judge Perkins, the generous founder of the professor ship.
