THEN AND NOW.
Just at this time perhaps no sub
ject would be of more absorbing in
terest to our readers than the details
and danger of a modern sea fight.
In the attack of the U. S. Fleet on
the city of New Orleans during the
civil war Admiral Furragut lashed i
himself to the rigging of his vessel and !
directed the movement of his fleet,
which act on his part has placed
his name high in the list of naval
heroes. But naval warfare is now
quite a different thing from what it
was then. The admiral who would
now lush himself to the rigging
during a naval engagement would cut
a very poor figure, and that only for
a very snort time.
In lieu of anything we might write
about a sea fight we give below an
extract from Park Benjamin in the
New York Independent.
“In our lust war the forts at Mobile and
New Orleans used Ki-ape ami canister with
imn'li effect lurulust our attacking fleets; but
tills was af very close range. At long range,
shells and the Hying splinters of wooden
vessels were the principal agents of whole
sale destruction. But now tl>o huge shells
will liegln to eotuo on hoard from the high-
powerguus when the contending vessels are
nearly three miles apart. The largest guns,
twelve and thlrteeii-lncli caliber, can he
loaded and tired nl mo At hnce every three
minutes. At a little less Mian two miles'
distance the live and six-inch rapid-lire guns
will begin to pour In their projectiles, and
these weapons ean he load 'd and Hred at the
rate of from seven totlfteen aimed shots per
minute. Then come the six pounder guns,
delivering forty stmts per minute, the one-
pounders. throwing a shot per minute, the
tnuclilnenne-i ouuders(Maxim-Nordenfeldt),
two hundred shots per minute, and so on up
to tl.e (>utlingM. fed aut unatlcally by elee-
tric motors, and projecting bullets at (he
rate of 3,000 per minute. A mail might brave
a storm of grupc uud bullets with a chance
of escape; hut the battle of the Yalu Klver
showed that under tho<|ulck lire hull of the
Japanese ships the slaughter on the Chinese
ships was so frightful that the Chinese, with
all their stolid contempt lor death could
hardly he kept at their posts. So fierce was
the storm of steel around the attacked ves
sels that the sea was literally lashed luto
foam by it.
“Of course there Is no place on board u
war-ship in action which is ever reasonably
safe. The marines stationed in the military
tops are likely to beijulckly swept out by
<iuick-flre hail, and the coal-passers down In
the bunkers or engineers In the tangle of
steam machinery are in as imminent danger
of death through Injuries to the hollers and
scalding af escaping steam.
“Of all on board, the man who stands In
the greatest peril is the captain. In the
battle-ships and cruisers ills position is in a
cylindrical Imix of steel, placed Just under
the bridge, well forward, which is culled tho
conning tower. The armor of it is thick
enough ordinarily to resist the penetration
of ueavy projectiles. It contains the speak
ing tubes and electrical wires whereby he
eommunieatcs with the guns, engines, and
helm, iutd sometimes apparatus whereby lie
is enabled to Hie the guns himself after they
are laid upon the enemy. His Held of vision
is limited to what lie cun see through a little
horizontal slit on about the level of ids eye.
In point of frightful responsibility nositua
tion in the world cuu compare with that
which is occupied by the man wlio stands in
that tower and directs the movement of Ids
ship. After the conflict once begins the din
about him will be something infernal. Upon
him the fire of the enemy will be concen
trated, and upon the exterior of that steel
drum in which lie is shut up there will boa
continuous hall of iron and steel. Shells will
burst everywhere around It, and to that
babel will he added the roar of the force-
blasts under the engines, the tremetidous
reports of the heavy gun*, and tho din of the
quick-fire and machine gnns in chorus. In
such circumstances as this, aided by such
knowledge as he can get by looking out
through the little peep-hole in front of him
as well us the smoko will let him. the captain
must control the tremendous forces under
Ids command, and his decisions are matters
of seconds
“It never lias been so completely recog
nized as it is at the present day that the
best protection for a war-ship's crew is their
own fighting capacity. No armor Is so effi
cient as celerity of action and good gunnery.
That ship will win, and incidentally save the
greater number o( lives of Its men. which
first plants an effective projectile in a vital
part of the enemy. The sea-fight will not be
gained by the ship which withstands the
most pounding, but by tho ship which pounds
hardest and quickest and so destroys or Im
pairs her antagonist's pounding capacity.
!♦ is that swift attack and superior marks
manship which above all else characterize
the crews of the war-ships of the United
States; and it Is 11 Just this that the Span
iards are most deffclent.”
WAR NOTES.
Our flying tquadron .has flown at
last. It wings its way southward to
reinforce Admiral Sampson.
The Presidint may call for 75,000
more men. It is understood that
Secretary Alger urges him to this
step, and that the President is in
clined to take it. Perhaps all of our
rejected light weights will j’et have a
chance.
The little steamer, Gussie, under
Capt- Darst, attempted to land two
companies of United States infantry
and a cargo of arms and ammunition
on the shores of Cuba, 15 miles from
llabana, and were whipped off by the
Spaniards who were lying in wait.
The officers and men returned to
Key West disgusted with war.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Franck has already violated the
netitraltiy laws by allowing the Span
ish fleet to rendezvous in one of her
ports. This is considered as an act
of hostility to the United States, as
it is materially aiding Spain to prose
cute the war. France can’t get
along without a whipping about
every twenty-five years, and that
period has elapsed since the bad one
she received at Sedan.
The combat thickens. Three of
our small ships steamed into the
harbor of Cieufuegos for the purpose
of cutting the cable connecting Ha-
b&na with Santiago de Cuba. They
succeeded in cutting the cable, but
only after a hot fight with several
thousand Spanish soldiers on the
shore. One of our men was killed
and six severely wounded. It is
thought that most of the wounded
will die.
In a naval battle there is no need of
an ambulance corps to carry off the
wounded, nor of "file closers” to keep
the men from running off. No won
der the men will fight. What else
can they do, when the danger is tho
same whether they fight or not?
When a man with pretty good ground
behind him for running stands firmly
facing the iron and leaden hail of the
enemy—there you have an illustra
tion of true courage.
Gen. Joe Wheeler of Confederate
fame is to command the cavalry in
the Cuban army of invasion.
"Wheeler's Cavalry” in the sixties
were a terror both to friends and foe.
Perhaps they carried "two edged
swords.” It strikes us that Gen.
Wheeler, unless lie has discovered
the philosopher’s stone or the elixir
of youth, must be carrying too many
years to admit of the dash and activ
ity expected of a cavalry leader.
The Spaniards at llabana tried the
decoy duck again last Saturday, but
this time our ducks were not caught
napping. This time their big ship
AlphonzoXII made a dash from the
harbor as if intending to escape.
Our ships gave chase, but stopped
just short of the range of the heavy
Spanish guns in tho forts, which sa
luted them with- a few 850 pound
shells that fell half a mile short.
We wonder if the Spaniards thought
our ships could be enticed into the
same trap twice.
Admiral Sampson's fleet bom
barded Sun Juan de Porto Rico on
the 12lh inst. The bombardment
began at 5:15 a. m., and lusted three
hours. The Spanish forts replied
fiercely, but their aim was wild.
Two of our ships were struck but not
materially injured. Two of our men
were killed and seven wounded.
Sampson is reported to have said.
“I am satisfied with the morning’s
work. I could have taken San Juan;
but I have not force to hold it. I
only wanted to administer punish
ment. This has been done. I was
looking for the Spanish fleet and not
for San Juan.”
Up to the beginning of this week
only 630 South Carolina volunteers
had been mustered into service—less
than half the required number. The
medical board rejected nearly one
half of those who volunteered, while
some after tasting mildly of soldier
ing, in the camp at Columbia, have
concluded that they have won glory
enough, and so have failed to answer
to the call of the mustering officer.
Owing to these causes the companies
have been reduced in numbers, and
they must make their complement
by recruiting, before they can be
received. Perhaps not many are
spoiling for a fight after all.
Ip France will persist in sticking
her nose into this little business
matter with Spain in order to get her
usual quarter-century thrashing it is
highly probable that John Bull will
step into the arena with his cudgel.
There is a closer sympathy exist
ing today between England and the
United States than ever before. The
two nations understand each other at
last, and all of the prejudices and
animosities aroused by two family
fights have completely subsided.
Common blood, a common language
and a common interest have been !
factors in cementing u national
friendship, which, it is to be hoped. !
will never again be broken.
A close alliance between the two j
nations will be the first step towards
the mastery of the Anglo Saxon race
over the whole world.
The esteemed Charlotte Observer
.and a number of South Carolina
papers have recently referred to the
Messrs. Gonzales as being Cubans by
birth. We are satisfied they are in
error. Thmr lather was a Cuban and
their mother of the well and favor
ably known Elliott family, of Beau-
tort. If we are not mistaken the
elder Gonzales was a Cuban patriot
and was exiled from the land of his
birth because of the prominent part
he took in the Cuban war of the
fifties.
The three Gonzales brothers of the
Columbia State have gone to the war.
It is understood that the State is now
edited by Mr. Jus. Henry Rice, who
wields a facile and forcible pen.
The landing of an army on the
shores of Cuba is more easily talked
about than done. In tiie first place
a larger number of transports must
be provided for carrying the troops,
and these cannot be procured and as
sembled in a day. Then, as long as
the Spanisli fleet remains in West
India waters, such a movement
would be extremely hazardous. An
army of infantry on board transports
would be utterly helpless in the
presence of a Spanish war vessel.
So it seems the Spanish fleet must
be disposed of before there can be
any general movement of tho infan
try. It seems, too, that the Spanish
fleet has some decided objections to
being disposed of. It will no doubt
make every effort to avoid an engage
ment with Sampson and Schley. If
Spain lose that fleet, the jig will be
up with her.
To one who remembers the upris
ing of the people for war in 18G1, the
present gathering of troops seems to
be incomparatively slow. Only six
ty-five companies had been mustered
in up to last Monday.
When Jeff Davis, early in '61,
called on South Carolina for ten reg
iments, more than twenty regiments
responded in a few days, and begged
for acceptance. It was not that men
were braver then than now. The
average standard of courage remains
about the same from age to age.
Our people then were moved by one
mighty impulse. Every man felt
that he was called on to fight for his
home and all that he held dear.
There is no such feeling now. Our
homes are not threatened, there is
no invasion expected, there is only a
cold, dry theory that demands war,
and theories cannot arouse a motion
to enthusiasm—at least to such en
thusiasm us prevailed in '61.
ENTRIES FROM OUR DAY BOOK.
Our old friend E. W. Nolly has
resumed the editorship of the Con
way Republic. Already the Repub
lic shows evidence of bis experience.
We wish him much deserved success.
A terrific rain and hail storm
swept over portions of Greenville and
Pickens counties last week, com
pletely demolishing every green thing
within its range.
Gen. Cassius M. Clay, of Ken
tucky, a man who has figured in two
wars and many duels and who at the
age of eighty-four is the husband of
a sixteen-year-old girl, has been
voted a pension by congress of $50
a month for gallant services in the
Mexican war.
Gen. Duxovant, a veteran of two
wars, died on the 12th inst. at his
home in Edgefield in the seventy-
eighth year of his age. Many of our
old soldiers will remember him as the
first colonel of the 12th regiment of
S. C. V., in 1861. The men who
made South Carolina history are
passing away.
The last cotton crop marketed to
date is 2,000,000 bales in excess of
the crop before the last, and there is
little doubt now but that the crop
will amount to more than 11,000,000
bales -the largest crop ever raised
on earth. In the face of these fig
ures and ibe fact that a great war is
on hand, it is surprising tint it v.ill
sell at any price. Yet a large area
of our best lands are again planted in
cotton. Nothing but starvation will
ever subdue the cotton craze.

Possibly They Could.
[Charleston News and Courier.]
The Philadelphia Telegraph a few
days ago published an interview with
Secretary of the Navy Long, in which
that gentleman said, in substance,
that "while Commodore Dewey is en
titled to the highest praise for his
brilliant victory and while there is
not the slightest disposition in the
navy department to disparage him,
the fact remains that every step he
too* had been most deliberately dis
cussed and agreed upon in advance by
the strategic board, and that Commo
dore Dewey merely obeyed tho orders
which had been given him.” Possi
bly the strategic board could have
won the victory without Dewey’s aid
but it is doubtful. Spain probably
has a strategic board, too.

[Charleston Post.]
The Montgomery Advertiser says
Admiral Dewey is a staunch democrat
and the Charleston News and Courier
suvs that "in addition to being a
democrat, Dewey is a presbyterian.”
'1 he New York Sun asserts thus:
“ l he Democratic Club of New Yolk
made Acting Admiral Dewey an hon
orary member of the club theotlur
day, one of the members statirg
that the coimnanderof our victorious
squadron at Manila was the ‘sound
est kind of a democrat.’ The acl-
ing admiral, like most officers in the
service, lakes no active part in poli
tics. hut he has b^en a republican
all his life.”
Finally, we have it on authority of
a prominent Hebrew of Charleston
that the Manila hero is a Jew.
The Sun says "it makes not a bit
of difference, but it’s well to have
ihe truth.” Just so, but what is the
truth? In politics, a democrat and
a republican, in religion, a Presbyte
rian and a Jew, Dewey is evidently
liberal in his persuasions. It appears
to us, however, that the admiral is
an American and a sailor. We
won’t ask any more of him.

"J. L. S.” writing to the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian from Etta
Jane on April 80th about the delay of
the United States Supreme Court in
disposing of the O. P. cases says:
"The friends of the dispensary will
find the decision of tho court when it
is announced, a death knell to the
State’s right to sell liquor. Watch
the prediction.”
The decision has been made and
tho right of the State to sell liquor
has been sustained. "J. L. S.” is a
false prophet and should quit the

Oh, the Pain of
Rheumatism!
Rheumatism often causes the most In
tense suffering. Many have for years
vainly sought relief from this disabling
disease, and are to-day worse off than
ever. Rheumatism is a blood disease,
and Swift’s Specific is the only cure, be
cause it is the only remedy which can
reach such deep-seated diseases.
A few years ago I was tak>m with inflamma
tory Rheumatism, which became so intense
that I was for weeks unable to walk. I tried
several prominent physi
cians and took tlieir treat
ment faithfully, but was !
unable to get tho slight
est relief. In fact, my con
dition seemed to grow
worse, the disease spread
over my entire body, and
from November to March
I suffered agony. I tried
Ai
H many patent medicines,
l but none relieved me.
Upon the advice of a
friend I decided to try

taking two bottles, that I continued the rem
edy.and in two monthsl was cured completely.
The cure was permanent, for I have never since
had a touch of Rheumatism though many
times exposed to damp and cold weather.
