Ington Star says from in-'
tly made has been learned
wgular army officers resigned
f the Confederate service dor-
r ^e civil war. The movement
gntdual, beginning on December
SI, I860, and continuing to August
>3,1861. The first officer to resign
* was Captain and Brevet Major Henry
C. Wayne, assistant quartermaster.
■ He sent in his resignation on the last
; my Of I860. On the following day
1 Brevet Second Lieutenant Wade H.
Gibbes, 2d cavalry, resigned and also
Second Lieut. James II. Hollinquist,
4thartillery. Up to January 28, 1861,
***' seveh other officers resigned. In Feb
ruary twenty'four more resigned.
Wlien the bombardment of Fort
Sumter “fired the Southern heart”
resignations followed fast, causing
uneasiness in the Tforth, creating
grave doubts concerning the loyalty
of regular army officers, of whom so
much was now expected, and also-gen
erating Intense and unjust prejudice
against the West Point Military
Academy. The. humble rank of many
aLthe opfaet who afterward held high
command is Interesting to note.
The late Gen. James LongstrOet,
. who shattered the army of Rosecrans
at Chickamauga and would have done
a great deal more had he not met a
great Virginian—Gen. George II.
Thomas was a peaceful paymaster
~when the war began and never turned
bis back on the Government till J une
1, 1861.
Robert Edward Lee resigned the
colonelcy of the 1st cavalry on April
25, 1861. He had been superinten
dent of West Point—the best mill-
tery achoeHn-the world.- - • ------
Gen. Fltzhugh Lee was a first lieu
tenant in Uie 2d cavalry and resigned
Maj^l.
Gen. “Joe” Wheeler was second
lieutenant In a regiment of mounted
riflemen, and resigned April 22.
Both armies dill led and fought by
“Hardee’s Tactics.” The day before
the battle of Shiloh began Hardee (a
Confederate general) sat on Ids horse
and watched a brigade of Grant's sol
diers drilling by “Hardee’s Tactics,'
and the next day cried out to a cap
tured regiment:
“Boys, I law you drilling by “Har
dee’s Tactics’ yesterday. To day you
are fighting by them.”
"William J. Hardee was lleutenan >
colonil of the lit cavalry and resigned
«n January II, 1861.
Albert Sidney Johnston, who fell at
the head of his victious lines on the
first day at Shllbb, was colonel of the
2d cavalry and brevet brigadier gen
eraf He resigned on May 3. He bad
commanded an expedition against the
- Mormons.
Gen. Earl Van Dorn, who fought
so desperately at luka and Corinth
and who afterward at Hotly Springs
burnt up the supplies and ammunition
Grant had gathered for the Vicks
burg campaign—who defeated Grant’s
advance through Central Mlssissppi
was major of the 2d cavalry and re
signed on the 31st of January. After
bis raid on Holly Springs ne was kill-
. -ed by an injured husband.
Gen. John H. Winder, who won 111
fame as chief oommacder of Ander-
sonvilie prison, was major and brevet
lieutenant colonel of the 4th artillery.
He resigned on the £7th of Aprlj.
‘ Capt. Lucius B. Northrop, of the
1st dragoons, resigned on January 8.
Gen. Kirby Smith, whose name was
s household world west of the Missis
sippi, was major of the 2d cavalry
and resigned on April 6.
livery veteran of the war knows
what a Sibley tent is. It was invent
ed by Major Henry H. Blbley, of the
1st dragoons, who resigned on May 13.
Gen. John B. Magruder was captain
and brevet lieutenant colonel of the
the river and rest fa the shade of the
trees.” When Grant was crashing
Ike lines at Petersburg Lee said to
Hill; “General your meu are gl vlng
way.” Hill galloped Into the melee
and fell. . . . 1
Geo 3ohn B. Villeplgue, who led a
wing of Price’s army at Corinth, was
first lieutenant of the >d ‘
and resigned on March 31.
Gen. John B. Hood, who fought
with Sherman At Atlanta and with
Thomas at Nashville, was a first Hen-
tenant of the 2d cavalry and resigned
on April 16.
Oapt. Lafayette McLaws, of the 7 th
Infantry, resigned March 23. On the
second day at Gettysburg, as a general
of Longsireet’s corps, be almost cap
tured Bound Top—the key of the bat
tlefield. He made assault in oonjuno
Mon with Hood. Meade afterward said
that if Bound Top had been taken
“nothing could have been held."
Gen. John S- .Marmaduke bore a
leading part )n the fighting west of
tbe Mississippi. His raids Into Mis-
sburi made him famous. He was a se
cond lieutenant of the 7tb Infantry,
resigning on April 17.
It Is a good time since the war and
if any mistake Is found in tbe preoed
Ing let some Southern^ “vet” correct
•It Of these disaffected officers three
have since been In the •Is^rvioe of tbe
United States Government— Gen
Flthxugh Lee, Gen Joseph Wheeler
and the late Gen Longstreet, the, lat-
ter having been related by marriage
to Gen Grant and having a son now
commanding a company In the 13th
United States cavalry. It Is probably
well known that a soldier of the Mex-
can war who afterward served In the
Confederate army is nevertheless en
titled to a pension for hls service In
Mexico. " ' *

Georgia Cotton Crop* .
A well known’traveling man of At
lanta, for a number of years in the 7
cotton'fiusiness j^tbat alty and M$ ;
coq, who has just returod.to Atlanta
from a two months trip to ajPpiHro 1
Georgia, declares that tbe outlook for
anything like a full cotton crop In
that state Is the gipomiest since the
civil war. With the single exception
of a small area of territory afound Al
bany* Fort Valley and Bleckley, there
Is no Indication of an average crop. In
some sections he says not more than a
third of tbe cotton acreage has been
pta&ted,.And what seed have been put
in the ground has only partially ger
minated, owing to tbe prolonged
drought, He gave it as hls opinion
that cotton would oSH again for 15
cents per pound before Christmas, ow
ing to the calamities to the crop in
Georgia and tbe weevil pest In Texas,
the two large producing states in the
Union. „ “ - *

cribed to him was a fraud, and that
he, a poor man, has been put to the
great expense of using hls savings to
come down for nothing. That be In

he sold out .everything he owned In
the world at auction to come down
and buy this farm.
That be was also Informed to bring
his machine and other appurtenances
of hls trade as tailor—that be could
get a number of cuitomer< and do a
lucrative business as tailor in this
new settlement. That on his trip up
to Chicora bf never saw a single man
who bad evv had a suit of clothes

tive for the South to supply an enor
ormous crop next season. All such
talk, It d. clarrs is diametrically op
pos:d to the interes’s of the farmers

place* the sword wliffeh was presented
toGen Wade Hampton by the ladiee
of Richmond, Va., during the civil
war, has been located and returned to

this camp turn it over to General C
A. Evans at the approaching Nash-

over to General C. 1. Walker, of South

Major Morris has been more thi n
two years In locating and having re-
turnei Ihe sword carried by General
Hampton 'n the Confederate service,
led he is very proud ‘of the fact that

who prize it more highly and to whom
it rightfully^belongs.
Captain Majors has written to Ma

of a union soldier near Columbia on
the night prior to the evacuation of
that-city by the Confederate sUdiers,
about the Dt of April, 1865.

Detectives of Delawarti«-eeu*ity and
Philadelphia, Pa., are working ba¥d
an endeavor to uh ravel the mystery
connected with the finding of the
body of a man on Decoratloirdiyln
the marsh close to tbe banks of Darby
creek, south of the city. On the banks
of Darby creek are scores of boat
bouses,'many of them being tbe rend
ezvous of dissolute men and women
who spend nearly every Sunday dar
ing the summer .months In drinking
and carousing. It is evident an at
tempt bad been made to destroy all
means of identification by v bufping
tbe body and tbe murderer or mur
derers covered tbelr tracks well.
Within a few hundred yards of tbe
spot where tbe body was found Is the
farm house of Horne. On the night
of Sunday, May 22d, a rope and two
pieces of chain were stolen from
Horne’s bfcrn. . This chain was found
cjoqe to tb0 body of the murdered
Man. It had been fastened to fence
pests by staples and after close in
vestigation, the detectives have borne
to the conclusion that tbe man- had
become Involved In a quarrell over a
game of cards In one of tbe boat
bouses and bad been murdered; tha}<
hls body was chained to tbe posts',
saturated with oil and then set on
fire.' A two gallon oil can, oompara-
tlvely new and which had been sto'
from the Horne residence was lying
close to tbe charred trunk,' which
would seem to bear out ibis theory.
Two suspender buckles, half of a
hand, and the toe of a shoe are tbe
only means by which tbe detectives
can hope to identify the murdered

Wages, a 13 year-old cotton mill oper
ative of the Olympia village, Tuesday
afternoon at 20 minutes to 7. The boy
was sitting on a little bench next the
stoop of Gaine’s store, whichis locat
ed on Bluff road in the mill vil
lage about 100 yards, from Wages’
borne. The boy’s face was slightly
scratched, but otherwise there were no
marks on tbe body and the coroner's
physician testified tbat there were no
bones broken. Standing In tbe door of
the store within two feet of the ,boy
was C. C. La whom, also an operative.
He was knocked backward on the floor
but was not injured. T. E. Mitchell,
the clerk, wno was standing behind
tbe ooqnter near tbe side door,, about
25 feet from tbe front door, was ndt
even shocked, he says. The Hash fol

The Privilege Tax.

10 per cent, greater than they were up
to the same time last year, which In
dicates a heavier cotton crop- Tbe
to $101,-
for the
. .. . year. The tax this
je&r is the same as it was last year-
no such conciliatory showing has ever
before been made. The good people

garlanded tbe graves of our dead.”
President McKinley followed with
hls memorable speech: “The American
soldier has never been d, feated except
by ah American soldier. Hereafter let
us remember on these occasions both

men who wore tbe gray.”

State had light rains. Lexington,
Aiken, Saluda, Greenwood, Newberry,

were the most generously dampened,
while the rainfall ^westward was light,
as it? was In the Congaree valley.
Those sections received enough rain
to bring up late cotton and corn, con
