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.

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
