I The newspapers have announced ro ently that the Burt place in Abbe llle, was for sale, and, the suggestion 3 made tn thia con nee tien that the lons and Daughters of the Confedera y ought to buy 'the place for their i.eadquarters on account ot its his- ; bric value. The Burt mansion occu pies a prominent position in the town if Abbeville, which is famed for Us! listarle places of interest and takes I ts name from its former owner, Arm-; stead Burt, who was one of the most ou rt ly and distinguished among the nen of Abbeville's greatness in. the] >ast. The place ls now owned by Mrs. C. B. Calhoun, of Abbeville and the ninor children of Mr lt. Mays Cleve and ot Marietta, Greenville County, whose mother was Miar.

He was a classmate or tbe late Judge James S Cothron at the col lege in Athens and afterwards grad uated at the theological seminary in Columbia. He married la Fairne?

He had a stormy time in Louisville, as bis church was composed of antl-se cesBlonlsts, and a sermon he preached in November, 18S0, after the election of Mr. Lincoln, ultimately led to bte arrest by tho Federal officials which IIUU?L 111 D AEM18TKA1? 111 RT PO* 1!

In I860 he went to the city of New York, and engaged in the brokerage business and rapidly made his way to tho front on Wall street. He was chosen vice-pres ident of the "Gold Board" or stock ex change, the president of which waa' a retired merchant, and Dr. Hoyt pre sided over the exchange in blr ab sence, which was" continuously. Hts firm made considerable money until "Black Friday" when, in common with many others, he lost nearly everything he had made. Dr. .

President Davis weat from the Burt residence to Bis ead and hopeless fate as the man who served, his country on the battlefields of Mexico and in fha councils of ?tato, anti yet he was dev nied the paltry privilege of being !a citizen, which ls not denied to even; the scum of Europe. After the war between - the States, when Mr Burt was bereft pf his com panion, the historio place passed bato the hands of the late James Norwood, whose family have since occupied it. Ip the memorable campaign of 1876 whenJtbe troops or speakers had reached Abbeville, Gen.
