It lias not beeti so long, that the war and its incidents fair to have a personal relish, and with your per mission, I beg to trespass on your spaco and the patience of your reador6 with an occasional moving incident. The following will illus trate the stnif that a soldier should be made of: In 18GLG5 and until tho surren der, Gary's cavalry brigade held the left of General Lee's army on tho north of tho James immediate ly in front of Richmond. On the night previous to the surrender of Richmond, the infantry was with drawn and in the morning tho bri gade of cavalry slowly withdrew from the lines with orders not to fire on the enomy if they pressed. There are three roads leading from tho lower part of the elty for sev eral miles almost parallel with the river?tho river road along tho bank, then noxt tho Darbytown, and farther north, tho Charles City road, all leading from tho city and diverging at flvo or six miles be low. Tho brigade withdrew at dawn, leaving pickets of ten men on each road with instructions to withdraw slowly on the approach of the enemy. Lieut. Farmer, of Co. I)., Hampton Legion, with one detachmont, was placed on the river road. The Brigade moved leisurely to tho city followed by tho enemy's cavalry. A Federal oflleer and private galloped upon Farmer and of course surrendered. Presently Farmer ascertained that the enemy had passed north of him on other roads and were in possession of tho city. Thus he win situated with a navigable river a mile wide cutting liim off from Lee's army, tho enemy, ton thous and strong, three miles above him and a thousand chances to one against Ids escape. Tho city was on fire, the- Confederate vessels were blowing up in the river, the magazines encircling tho city were making an carthquako of the long lines extending to Petersburg, his own brigade tho last to pass through tho Confederate capital, had assisted in burning tho bridges behind them, but Farmer got out of the difllculty and did not sur render. Dismounting his men and priso ners, lie placed them on tho bank of the great stream. A contract was mndo with the Yankee olllcer that he should be kindly looked after if he was successfully brought to Gen. Lee's lines; Farmer and his men were to receive like treat ment if they fell into the power of the Federals. In tho course of the day a small bout manned by two or three boys, floated along the stream. A few pistol shots brought them to, and In a few minutes, by their seamanship, Farmer, his men and prisoners were safoly landed on the south sido of the James, and by mid-night of that day he had joined his flag at Ame lia C. II., more than twenty miles from Richmond, with his men, turning over his Federal captain and private with tho stipulation for their kind treatment. Ninety nine men in a hundred would have surrendered under tho circum stances. Tho writer does not know if the subject of this adventure is still living in Anderson county, and writes the story as ono of many coming under his eye, illus trations ot tho heroic stuff that made up the youg Confederate sol dier. An Interesting Letter. i\f?ny thanks, Mr. Editor, for your promptness in sending the ADVERTISER. I received it and the dear old Herald within twenty four hours after writing for them. It really seemed like meeting old friends. The contents wero as eagerly read as a young lover reads his sweetheart's epistles and I was glad to see old Laurens still progressive. Right hero I must confess that my heart is overflowing with grat itude to the many friends in Lau rens who expressed and acted a sympathy and interest in my be half. I regretted very much to see the encounter between Prof. McEl roy and Col. Irby.

The silver plank adopted by the Ohio Democrats is very far from being a declaration in favor of free coinage. It declares for the consti tutional standard of gold and sil ver, with tree coinage for both. The constitution provides that Congress shall havo power to coin inonoy and to "regulate the value thereof," The advocates of free coinage in sist, upon coinage at the existing ratio, while the constitutional stan dard would bo gold and silver at a truo ratio. In view of tho predic tion that the Ohio Democratic con vention would go wild alter free coinage, tho conservative plank adopted, taken together with even the sounder report of the minority of tho committee, sustained'by nearly half the delegates, is an In dorsement of The World's position and demonstrates the fact, which all the speeches at Cleveland em phasized, that the truo issues of the coming campaign are tho sins of the billion-dollar Congress and its leader, William McKinley.?
