Colonel Thomas Waiting for Orders--A Confredorato Comiand after the Con foduracy was Gono. 1.1um the Niaely-Nix u m;w In the month of April, 1865, when the closing sconos of the great drama of our civil war wore being enacted, and the nation which had known such t brief but brilliant lifo was in its death throes, Colonel Thomas, now of the Carolina Military Insti tute, Professor Sams, now of the Spartanburg High School, Professor Norris, now practising law at Edgefield C. H., and Professor Patrick, now of the Greenville High School, were in command of the cadets of the State Military School, who, together with a company of recruits, had been mustered into the service of the Confederate States, and W,)ro e'unped noar Greenvillo. Some time during the latter part of the month, if wo are rightly in formed, this command of one hun drod and twenty youthful soldiers struck tents and started for a hasty march down the railroad toward Columbia. The upper part of the State was then beginning to swarm with United States soldiers, and wIen Colonel Thomas' commind reached the neighborhood of Wil liamston, while taking a rest of a few in iutes by the roadside, they wore charged upon and fired into by a party of the onemy's cavalry. Taken completely by surpriso, and aroused suddenly from sleep, it is not to be wondered that the boys were, thrown into confusion, but a goodly number of them quickly rallied and returned the fire, un seating some of the horsemen and r pulsing the charge. They then pressod on, marching at the rate of about thirty miles a day, until they reached Ninety-Six. On arriving hero, some follow, with a little more temerity than tho rest, gave ox plression to the universal fooling among them, that to continuo longer as an organized Confederato com mand was not only useless, but dangerous, by calling out from 1,he ranks: "Come, boys, let's go home;" whereupon Colonel Thomas gave a severe robuke in the form of a stirring, patriotic spooch, and called upon all who were willing to remain with him to stop to the front, with the tssuranco that any who did not come forward would be permitted to go home. Unlike Gideon's army, they all, to a man, stood the test and stepped forward. Colonel Thomas then marched them into the woods on the south side of the Kate Fowler b)ranch, and wont into camp, on the very spot where th.e writer nowv lives, within the incorporate limits of Ninety-Six. So fari as we know, this wvas the last encampment of organizedl Con federate soldiers this side of the Mississippi. If so, to the State Cadets and the recruits connected with them belongs the honor of having been the last command of the Confederacy, and to Ninety-Six was granted the p)riviloge of furnishu ing the laa3t camp)ing ground for this galant little band. Several of the citizens urged Colonel Thomas to disband the command and send them home, as it was a needless task for him to con tirue to hold them together ; but, soldier like, he waited for orders. Finally, some time in May, perhaps a month or more after General Lee's surrender, Colonel Thomas beeame satisfied that all the Confederate authorities were either captured or across the Mississippi, and that it was utterly vain to wait longer for orders, and marched his little com mnand to Newvberry, and there dis banded them. If any whlo may read these lines should know any further facts con nected with this subjet, or any facts contradictory of the state monts herein made, we would be very glad to have them. Since the above was written, we learn that Colonel Thomas did. not determine to disband until .be reached] Newberry, and that~ he re mained there a day or two before doing so . B. Rubscribe to the NEWs MDEEAw The Growing Cotton. The statistician of the department of agricalture reports the condition of cotton during the first wo3k of September as averaging, for the whole cottton belt, the saime as in September of last year. Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana. Arkansaw and Tennosseo n:Lke high er averages than in 1876. The Caro - lins, Georgia and Texas report loss favorably, the greatest reduction boing il Texas. As comIpared with lust month, Florida, Arkansas and Tennessee only report improvement. The percentages of the condition are as follows : North Carolina, 83; South Carolina, 85 ; Georgia, 77 ; Florida 94 ; Alabama, 91 ; Missis sippi, 88 ; Louisiana, 92 ; Texas, 70 ; Arkansas, 99 ; Tennessee, 100. The caterpillar is present in all the Gulf States and in South Carolina, but is done little damage as yet, ex cept in Texas. In several parishes in Louisiana the loss is consi-lorable from this cause. Where ithas made a late appearance it will benefit rather than injure the crop. In the Atlantic States there is much com plaint of rust, mainly resulting from drought, but in some counties from injury by beating storms. In this section the growth is late, and the effoects of frost in shortening the harvest are feared. PUTTING PLANTS TO SLEEP WITH ETHER.-SevCral members of the Parisian Biological Society havo recently been engaged in a series of experiments which seem to prove that everything endowed with life, whether animal, plant or forment, is susceptible of being brought under the influence of anesthetics ; in other words, may be sent to sleop. It has been proved that the influence of anesthetics extends to all the animal tissues, and last of all to the central norvous system. Hence, it wvas urged, plants having tissues must also be subject to the influence of ether, etc. Experiments have proved this to be the case. Germi nation is arrested by anesthetics. The water-cress, for example,. ger minates within thirty hours. E0ther arrests germination in this plant, but does not destroy that faculty. It merely sends the plant tq sloop, for germination recomiences as soon as the use of ether is suspend ed. The capability of being sent to sleep is not confined to lAntS, it extends to ferments. Thus the for ment of beer, when submitted for twenty-fonr hours to the influence of other, becomes perfectly dor mant, but recovers activity as soon soon as anesthetic action is sus. pended.-Boston Checn al Jouri TnE EXTRA, SEqsIoN.-The extra session of Congress, which begin. on the 15th of next month, is likely to be of unusual interest. While the message of the President is Oxpect ed to be brief, and confined' to the special business for ' which the session has beencalled, the House will have to elect a Speaker, the Senate wvill have to act on the ap pointmnents made by the President since it adjourned, and there are threats by Republican politicians that the question of thes confirmation of these appointments will become the occasion of an orgariized ivar on the President and his Gabinet. Should these expectationsB be realir.ed the, extra session will be exciting, and may last till the regular sessioni openns. "The army estimates are said to be reAdy to be presented to Congress when it meets, and it is thought there will not be much trouble or doelay over the army appropriations. - The fortunate determination by the President that the army shall not be used to iterfere in Southern political affairs will removeo,ali op-' position which had arisen at f,bo last session from that source to'the army appropriation-bill. It is conjectured that there will be enough~ Republi cans to act with the Demooraits in both houses to repeal the tenure of office act.4-1?altimore ,Sun.
