Presentment of Grand, .fury. To Ills Honor J. B. Kershaw, Pre siding Judgo: Tho Grand Jury retsjnet fully sub mit tho following presentment which wo huvo mado under tho instructions of your Honor: The books aud transcripts of ten of tho Trial Justices of tho county have been proscuted to us and ex amined which we find neully kept with tho exception of somo unim portant irregularities. One of the Trial Justices failed to present his books to us for In spection Ol* examination. Wo recommend in regard to tho settlement or discontinuance of criminal cases in Trial Justico courts, that such settlements be explicitly stated, together with the cau?o or grounds of settlement or dlscon tinunnco. In our last presentment wo re commended that the bond of our Sheriff and one of the County Com missioners bo strengthened, which recommendation*, we aro sorry to sny, have not been carried out; wo therefore insist and urge again that sucli recommendations be promptly complied with. Time und again the grand juries of our county hnvo recommended"* that certain ropairs bo mado upon tho county jail but such recom mendations have been entirely dis regarded. We repeat tho recom mendations, that such .work bo dono. Particularly wo*Und that the old wooden cells or dungeons which are impregnated witli the impurities of long 1)30, bo either renovated or displaced by new iron lattice cells with belter venti lation and a freer access of fresh air to the prisoners. We repeat our former recom mendation in regard to tho public officos in tin) court house. The partition wall between tho office formerly occupied by tho Master and the Auditor's oflleo bo re moved so.as to render tho olnco of tho County Auditor commodious, which chango we Und necessary to preserve the records and books of the said office. . Tho court room of tho court house is not so cleanly and neatly kept as it should be. We call this matter to the attention of tho Offi cer whoso duty it is to keep tho court room in a suitable-and com fortable condition for tho holding of tho courts of justice. We also coll tho attention of tho court to the previous roommnnd ations of the Grand Jury in regard to some repairs in tho Clerk of tiio Court's office, which recommend ations have been disregarded. Wo find that the public roads of the county are not in good condi tion. Complaints are heard in all parts of the county that tho roads are not properly worked and that in some sections of tho county there arc public roads without an over seer. Wo urge that tho roads be worked as soon as practicable and that the bridges bo put in suitable repair. If those recommendations are not carried out by tho County Commissioners in regard to tho pu'aic roads by tho next term of l\\ y court we insist that proper pr<# ?edlngs bo instituted ngalnst satu ;oi!imi.ssi'>?\er-3 for neglect of offln il duty. A o do not find (hat the county ftflfl npusG is kept in that condition AS^L. hoalth and necessities of tho unforr^nate inmates require. CmnrfrVnint is made to us by some of tho injplKtes that they do not re ceive ?>iheien.j. ?iVM\ (0 satisfy hun ger., wo find thnKf.h-3 inmates are iniFproporly lodged as' . ?cnulretl by me dictates of the Anjh.Jo-?ajfn?* race, for instance wo find a white man and a negro woman occupy ingtho same room hi said institu tion. Tho houses in which tho in mates are lodged should bo thoro ughly scoured and cleansed and whitewashed Inside and outside. Wo urgo that the requirements of tho law in regard to this institu tion be rigidly enforced and that all violation of tho law or omission of duty in this regard by tho Coun ty Commissioners bo promptly In ought before the courts. In regard to the imprisonment of persons sentenced to the county jail wo have observed that our Sheriff has allowed prisoners under sentence of imprisonment in the county jail to ho at liberty in and around the jail premises instead of being oonfined In tho Jail as re quired by tho Judgment, of the court. We recommend that such prisoners bo kept in such conline ment as required by law. Wo recommend that the bridge across Little liivcr within tho cor porate limits of the town of Laq rens be rebuilt by the authorities whoso duty it is to rebuild the same. Thanking your honor for many courtesies shown to us during tho term, wo herewith submit tho fore going as our final presentment. M. A. Knight, July 21, 1801. foreman. Princeton Points.

Lee's amiy wintered in 1802-63 ut Frederieksburg und in January and February uf '<>.'} Tor weeks tho ground was cov ered with snow from twelve to eighteen inches in depth. It was then not uncommon to see division and brigade with as many as live thousand men ou the field arrayed against each other in friendly bat tle with Improvised balls of enow, tho columns led in marshali style by staff ofllcors of the differont corps. In the midst of these Jousts of merry-making, Gen. Mlcah Jen kins'brigade of infantry received orders to march and take up a line directly for lUchmoTuL There the brigade rested for a rew days; theneo directly to Petersburg, and from that point to tho banks.of the Black Water near the North Caro lina lino, whoro they relieve^ troops which were sent north to (Jen. Lee's army. The Hampton, Legion bivouacked very near to a N. C. regiment on the njgJxt>btffore they were to innrctyn?rtn, and the next morning At dawn n great bowl was raised as the tar heelers could not parade a skillet, a haver sack, axo or canteen to tho com pany. Jenkins placed his regiments for six or eight miles along the Blackwator, and at some points throwing his troops across tho river, which was navigablo and passable by pontoon bridges. Tho enemy had their headquarters at Suffolk, and between the river and this point was a largo neutral ter ritory of some twenty miles. This territory tho enemy traversed overy lew days with a body of bold cavalry and artillery, commanded by a Col. Speers, a gallant officer reputed lo have been a sergeant In tho old regular army. Early in March or April of that year scouts reported to Gen. Jenkins at an early hour in tho ovontng, that Speers had gone into camp on the road leading by Carsville to Suf folk. Jenkins moved his troops at once across the river by differont. roads converging to Carsville, marching all night through swamp ami snow. At daylight his five regiments wore snugly in ambush, the Hampton Legion on tho right and the first to bo passed by the enemy. On the right of tho Legion a Virginia captain of cavalry was placed in ambush with orders that when tho rear of Speers''regiment. consisting of somo twelve hundred men had passed the Legion, and when tlio head of Speers column would be a mile towards Carsvillo and tho Whole column in tho bag and exposed to our ambuscade, he, the captain, should spring into the road in their renr and discharge his pistol as a signal tor our whole line to tire. Tho road was flanked on cither side by a dense pine forest, and tho ambuscade com plete. .\fter a while, about sunrise, a half dozen splendidly mountod Federals rodo gaily along, one ap parently an otllcer, fondly petting a line dog that sported around his horse. These flvo or six passed completely into the not. Presently tho head of tho Yankee column passed the right of the Legion, when oil'wont tho captain's pistol in quick succession. J-The column of Yankees caught the situation in a second, wheeled and in lightning time got out of tho difficulty, and tho whole thing miscarried. The captain, from inexperience,'took a company for a squadron, a mere advance guard, for tho whole force, had not waited for tho regiment and .>?"'* ,ioo 8001^ Put tho six men vaif the gauntlet ,or^ho entire J>i4gafte, lying flat upon fneiTHibrses ano^^klnw the lire of a thousand men, two of tuernW passing through successfully and one of them as he passed Col. Coward's, tho last ..regiment, ex claiming <!d-n them, hero they uro again." It may bo imagined how cha grined was that splendid young brigadier. Gen. Jenkins, at this failure. Speers kept close for tho future and tho neutral ground be came a splendid toraging territory for our boys, while wo bivouacked on the cypress clad banks of the Black Water. Thus "the widest plans; of mico aiul men gang aft aglee.'< The captain was after wards promoted for gallantry and became a Held officer of his regi ment, With the exception of tho two weeks siege of Suffolk by Gen. Longstroet. in which the brigade joined, and a hot skirmish near Carsville, the two months spent on the B'nckwator was a gala time for those days. The brigade was en., tiroly tiouth Carolinian and the wives of many of tho youngofllcers visited their gallant lords, enter tained at tho mansions of the neighboring hospitablo Virginians. A tournament was gotten up for their entortainmont, the horses of those infantry colonels and majors cutting such fantastic capors as Rosin an to of Dan Quixote could vainly emulate. chtneo w|lh tho the fair Virginia maids as partners ended tho day.
