The Laurens Advertiser $1.50 Per Year in Advance. THE GENERAL'S FORGIVENESS. We looked before us and then lo left and right, and ev? rywhoro WO saw the smoke of i lu- enemy's musketry ox tending like Uro in a Held of dry grass, while the little bullets Bang like a swarm of hers, cutting down our ranks and driving the survivors into a hud dled mass, li is one thing lo light the foe in an open plain, where you can see Ins lace and the chances uro even. It is another thing to charge him lu his chosen position, with the (lag wav ing over you, the drum healing you on and the hot blood singing in your veins, but it is a very different thiug to have him li-e up from tho woods and thickets all around you when you did not know of his presence and en velop you in a lire that burns and blinds you. The torrent of the IJritish musketry grew alike in sweep ami volume. Our surprise was e< tnplelO, overwhelming and terrible. We had marched into the ambush as if that were the only road in the world, aud our Bbatlorcd lines recoiled fai l her and fai l her. Wc were shouting lo each other, tiling random ?hol? at the enemy whom WG could not see and bending lo too hail I of hi'Hot* which reduced our number so last. Our colonel was fwearing at the men and striking some with lite. Hat of his sword in vain attempt to re store order, and then 1 saw a grayish color overspread his face, lie slopped i quite still f? r a moment, as if lie bad been stricken with BUdden paralysis, i he sword dropped from his outstretched hand, and tic pitched forward on his lace. '?Our colonel's killed i Our colonel's kilU d ! " ran a wailing cry through the regiment. We loved Colonel Carruthers and well he deserved our love. II j had led us through a d< zon battles, Sometimes in victory and sometimes in defeat, hut always ho had been the same brave, patient, kindly mail, watch ing over us like a father. When the bullet struck him down, wc felt as if W8 had received the lead in our own bodies, and the wailing cry was follow ed by one great groan, coining from us all togothor, But the lire that converged upon us grew hotter and hotter and deadlier aud deadlier. The bushes seemed to 8p?>ut death. Innumerable little Hashes of H?mo appeared among them, mark ing the activity of ihe dining sharp shooters, aud iho shrill hiss of the bul lets never ceased. Our numbers melt ed rapidly, although some tried to re store order and reform the ranks tin y wasted both threat and appeals. We were veterans, but we had been thrown into a panic. It was not the lire of tho enemy, it was tho surprise, the am bush, and our round regiment, a mob of fugitives, Btrouincd backward, leaving behind it the trail of Us dead and Wounded. *? Good God, Gordon,did [thinkthat I would ever see such a siglu I And we boasted that ours was the finest regiment in the army tool" gioaned Captain Hunter to nie. There woretears on Ins face, and he struck a fugitive across the head with the Hat of his sword. But the man paying no atten tion to him, ran on. I looked back and saw the British pressing forward in a swarm, their red coats gleaming in the dazzling sunlight and their sharpshooters showing the same deadly activity that had marked them in ihe beginning. But rank und Hie and sharpshooters alike no longer sought concealment. There was no need of it now. They saw that we were beaten, panic stricken, ami they crowded upon us, pouring into us a lire that added lo our confusion and the desire to run taster. Wc were, firing, too, bill in a wild and scattered way, and I fancy that few of the bullets found a British mark. The Brooke of the musketry hung over us and at limes obscured our Bight, but always we beheld through it the red and hostile uniforms pressing down upon us in closer and heavier columns. I knocked suddenly against some one, and then wnen the smoke cleared away a little I saw it was Captain Hunter again. "Can't you do something? Can't you do something, Gordon?*' he cried in dc spaii. "Oh, that such a thing should happen to this of all regiments !" He rah-cd his sword again tostiike a man, but the arm dropped back to his j side, shot through by a musket ball, j Yet be Still shouted to them and sought to bold them back and form a line of resistance. I will confess that I bad suffered from I he panic terror at first when the volleys leaped from the mus kets of ihe bul len sharpshooters in the butdies, feeling that sudden impulse to run away, to escape the bullets that were cutting us down, the animal in-; stinct, I think, but now niv pride, be- | gun to take control of my feelings. I turned my face more than once toward the enemy, and I found that it embold ened me. The danger that I saw was less terrible then the danger at my back. Then 1 used both entreaties and threats to make the men turn, but they did not hear or if hearing they | did not heed. The rout went on and and the. smoke cloud and our disgrace alike infolded us. "To the hills yonder! To the hills!" shouted the men and ihey looked long ingly at the. broken ridges that lay be fore us a mile away. They knew that our main army was there, ..nd the thought in all their breasts was of ref uge behind us numbers. We reached a little brook and plunged across it in i such a huddled mass that the water ' Hew up in a shower, and then in an instant all of us were, on ihe other side. There we paused a moment. A great man on a white horse stood across ihe ' path. I fehall never forget the look of that man as he sat there on his horse he fore us, horse and man a1 ike motion less and i he eyes of eacl seeming to blaze vith (ire, as if Ihey were one and the same being. Every line of his in i mi!', lar^e h attires showed in the dazzling sunlight, and I remember that I noticed even then, although I had seen him many times before, how maaaive and powerful wan the jaw ami how clear and penetrating the eye. Ilia hand larger than the average man's and grasping the bridle rein, lay upon his horao'a neck It was General Washington, the commander in chief. Tho horse did n< t move. Tho rider was motionless in the saddle. Ho mere ly sat there regarding us witn that calm, icily cold gaze which wc feared tnoro than bullets. Wo recoiled aa if tho encmv woro before us and not behind us, nnd for the moment wo forgot tho fire that had driven us on. Thon ho spoke: | "May I aek what this regiment is ' doing?" His tones were calm, icily cold, like 1 his look, but full of scorn. Wc heard I tit'm distinctly amid the crackling lire from the British, although he had not Boetned to raise hi * voice. We made no reply, merely looking at one auoth- j or, each waiting lor some other to speak. "May I ask what this regiment Is doiug?" he repeated, hut in a louder voic, and then he continued: "Is this the regiment that 1 commended after I'rinetou in the presence of the whole army for extraordinary gallantry in the face of the enemy? Is this the regiment that showed even greater bravery at tiennanlownV" There was a cry in the rear of our huddled crowd. The tire of the cue ny bail grown hotter and had come closer. It was scorching terribly, and tho regi ment by an abrupt convulsive move I men heaved forward directly toward the general. The 11 It hi was about to i continue in spile of bun. I But be rode suddenly toward US, his I face red with wrath, and he sie utfcd 1 in a voice that rose far above the crash j of the British musketry: "Whoro is ; your colonel? Where is Colonel Car* I miners?" "The colonel is killed. He fell early in (ho attack," replied sonic one. "A id his body -where is il? What have you done with il?" shouted the general. ?Ml is back yonder." 1 replied, "among Iho l>n^l?*"^ ou the hillside He w is loft where he fell." "Do you mean to cay that you have abandoned your colonel's body to the outlay?" shouted tho geuernl to the whole I'Cgllllcnt rather than to me. "Does any American regiment aban don its otllcors dead or alive in such a manner? A retreat bet?re superior numbers can be pardoned, but not that. Uo back and bring away your colonel's body!'' I His voice was large, like everything ehe about him, and its tones rolled among us like thunder. The men wavered and turned (looting glaucea toward iho enemy. They thought of the body of our helovod colonel lying hack there among the hushes and in the hands of the foe. lie wa not alone the colonel, but ihe lather of the regi ment, ami it would be repented by every other regiment in the army as long as any of us Used that we had abandoned him. They still hesitated, and Captain Hunter, running among them, shoui od, "For God's sake, men, turn back and bring off the colonel's bodyl" j Then we junior otllcers, Inspired again by his example, took up the. cry, and presently the soldiers themselves bo gun to shout it. It swelled among ua like a refrain. "Save the colonel's bodyl" '?Come, Gordon!'' shouted Captain Hunter to mo. "The way is not there, but hi re. Tbl" rode takes us to the colonel's bodyl" And turning about he ran toward the British. 1 followed him, and suddenly our men, wheeling, I too, ran upon the British vanguard, shouting that refrain, "Save the colo nels bodyl Save the colonel's bodyl" There is something terrible in the wrath of men who have been thrown into a panic terr >r and then, under the influence of a sudden and great emo tion, recover completely from it. They have so much to atone for that tho ualural courago in ihcra burns like lire. Our turn was so quick, our rush so flcrce, that the British were as much surprised as we had been. Their vanguard was crushed in an insl'Uit, swept entirely from the field, and then giving their main force our second vol ley, we drove at it ?>ilh the bayonet, and always above the crackle of the ri tles and muskets and the clash of steel, rose that somber battle cry: "Save the colonel's body! Save tho colonel's body!" We had lied a full mile, and the colo nel lay somewhere near the begiuning of the rout. That was our objective point now, and we rushed back upon our own path, lighting as our regi moot, famous in the Whole army, has never fought before, pressing heavily > and more heavily upon the British and ' driving them before us. I think that I no troops in the world could have held J us back then, und shoiituig our battlc I cry, we pressed on toward that fatal spot on the hillside when; our beloved colonel's body lay. The smoke of the firing blow in our faces, the enemy's bullets s'.ung us, some of the men fell, but only the dead, the wounded light ing like the unwounded, and suit drove Blraight for that spot among the bush j os on fie hillside. The British recoiled before such a shock and swept on faster than ever. Then we began to climb the hillside, and the men shotted: "Here U where befell! Here is where he fell! But the Cole no! himself, pale and bloody, rose up among the bushes and said in a weak voice; but distinctly heard by us: "I knew that my brave lads would come back for me I I knew that they would not leave mo to the enemy I On, lads, and sweep them fiom the hills!" He led ui himself, wounded as he was, and we hurled OUrsciVOS directly Upon the whole British army, while we beard to loft and right tho long, rolling lire of our own .winy as it press ed forward to the battle which we had been chosen to open. ? ?*???? That night, when the victory was won, our regiment, silent, Subdued and humbled by a memory, marched past General Washington and Iiis staff and our own colonel, Who was Htill pale and Weak, wearing a great bandage around ins head. "Crucial," said Captain Hunter to the commander in chief, acting as our spokesman, "is it possible for the regi ment to obtain forgiveness? " " Captain Hunter, " he replied, " tho regiment lias earned its forgiveness al ready. It brought off its colonel, and it has the chief credit of the victory to lay. " Then wc gnvc a great cheer and went 10 our quarters, happy once more.

GERMAN KAI.I NV< >RK.S, 93 Nassau Si., New \'. rl?. now John Miir.ioi v.\ aor ttlOII. Ho Whh a Hold luv CBtor and Not a Speculator in tllO Common I'hc oi ? hat Torin. Everyone koows that the late .John Shermau died a rieh man, but few are perhaps, acquainted with the Industry and practical fur-sightedr.ess which made this accumulation on the part of toe old statesman possible. Mr. Sherman, according to one who knew him froui the earliest period of his life, acquired suvng habits when ho was a hoy and very poor, Ho also at that timo gained a reputation among hl? relatives t;nd neighbors for his suc cess as a collector, and persons having h?ls outstanding iu his neighborhood against debtors who wore " slow pay " ! used to employ him. even while, ho was | still a bare-loot lad, to dun the delin quents. He always came back with the cash. Although bis 11 ret speculative I venture, with a car^o of salt, was wrecked by an accident, ho had accu mulated before ho was 24 years old, the snutf sum ol $1U,0U0. Tnu greater part (d this mooey went into ono or two building manufacturing enterprises, one. of whicti developed into a sash anO blind factory ana was oflon referred to by him us or.o of the most protitai 1 direct investments of his life. Shortly Ouforo he entered 'Jcnjreaa having a few thousand In roi<dy money, he put most of it into m^rt^a^es on the outskirts of what was then the small city of Cincinnati. Too panic of 1857 found almost all his uchtors un abie to keep up their payments, and Mr. Sherman, featiog that uudor the hammer the properly would not bring j tho face vuluo of the lncumhrances, wont to too sher ff's sale himself and bid it ill in. lJjforo ho had fully made up his mind what to do with it, th city's population began to spread into tho suburos, and his land rose in value week by >\oek. The result ol this whole transaction was a very largo ad dition to Ins loriune. Ho foresaw ut a very early day the future success of the Plltibu^g, Ft. Wuyno and Chicago railroad and bo cameonuof Its strongest backers, gala lug a handsome profit from h,s Invest ments in its slock and bonds. He has also had (treat faith in tho smaller manufacturing industries started in ' Oaio after the civil war, aud had con alderablu money invented in these, in small lots standing In the namo o? toe stockholders, who shared tho profits with him on a basis previously ar ranged between them. U has Kentrally been supposed tbat Mr. Stierman bought government bonds larguly during the refunding ? period : but, If so, there are no records { in the ireariiry department to indicate it, and tho subordinate oilicers who served under his secretaryship are j generally of tho opinion that he made I no investments In these funds ut that i time. Ho did, however, build blink-, of 10 brick houses of a size which would rent for an uvoragu of $2? a month, nono of which probably cost him more than $2,000, In tho neighbor hood of the government priming ollice. Tno expansion of the public printing plunt of courno greatly enhanced the valuo of thetc nouses, which were rented to printers. Directly after the c'ose of Hoss Shep aril's regime in Washington, Mr. Sher man became convinced that suburban property here was a sufo Investment. He. accordingly bought two largo farm tructs on the northern border of the city at low prices, by tho ucre, one of which was afterward platted us "Jolin Sherman's subdivision of M t 1' e ?sunt," and the other as "John Sherman's subdivlslon of Pleasant Plains." Thesi ure known now as Meridian Hol aud Columbia Heights, They have become extremely valuable. Mr. Sherman of fered to tome of the thriftier members of the treasury stslY a chance to Invest in lots In these suudivisions ut 10 and 12 and 15 cents u tquare foot. Too same property now acils ut from $1 f>0 to $2 a square foot, and Mr. Snermao probably netted a million or more from It. For a long while his Columbia Heights property luy comparatively Idle, owing to restrictions which he had foreseen to put into tho deeds. Tbese required, for instance, that u building lino should bo observed wblob would muko each of the streets 110 foot wide, and prohibited llquoi saloons, manufacturing establishments and all forms of nuisances. Trio wis dom of such provisions became ap parent later when some other subdivi SlOn failed to amount to anything ano Mr. Sherman's begun to forge straight ahead. Most of Mr. Shermun's friends who knew anything about his affairs din curd tho notion that ho has over made anything by speculation in tho oral nary sense of that term. Ho has been a bold investor, they say, but un in vestor in the meaning tout his stocks, bonds, deeds, etc , could bo looked up in a safe und loft there until lie goi ready to soil. They also refer, as he used to in his lifetime with much gleo, to hi* wonderful " luck " in several In stances. A notable ono ?vas bis Mnnstiold farm. The capitalists of Maiibl'old wore organl'/.ini! a hunk a good many years BgO, and Mr. Sherman took some Block in it. He afterwards wanted to incrcaso hla holdings, and while look in,: about for some ono who wished to sell, he came across a atockholder who said. " I will not aoll my atock, but I will buy yours, if, In paying for it, you will let mo turn over to you my farm on the odgo of tho town, for which 1 have no longer any use." Mr. Sherman bad not thought of buying a farm up to that time, but the toima offered by hla friend were auch that ho could hardly bear to lot the bargain go, and ho conaented. A year or two later tho bank went all to pieces, but tho farm had begun to grow more valuable by tho Increaao of tho town. Mr. Sherman further added to its value by presenting a pleco from one ond of it, which he could apare just as woll na not, to tho city for a public park.

Mr. linrvio Jordan, president of the Interstate Cotton Growers' Protective association, charges that tho govern ment agricultural department, instead o( being operated In the Interests of the farmers Is, being used as a basis for the rankest kind of speculation, to their serious Injury, tie further avers that the sources from welch tho gov ernment secures its information is no lougcr reliable, and declares that the faut that t'.iis season') crop Is short 1* loo well known for attempts at decep tion on the part of speculators. Mr. Jordan made tins I charges in a statement to the Atlanta J ;urnal, w h i b is as follows : Too recent report on the estimate! ?leid of the cotton crop for this so kson by tho agricultural depanm tut ai Washington on'y succeeded In tempo: arily depressing tbeprlceof tho staple I k lias Oecu opeoly charged that ad vancc Information of the bureau re port was furnished c irtalu parte'- on Skturday, two days beb r j. the publ ua i.on of tho report, and that SUOb par ties were ablo to take advantage of the -peculation markot, by creating the Impression that a " bullish '' report would bo given out, when they knew tho contrary to bo the case. Toe Now Orleans and New York cotton ex changes have demanded a rigid inves tigation of the statistical department of too Washington bureau, and it U to bo hoped that tho matter will bo prob ed to Hie bottom. Twice this season tho market ha been thunderstruck by these monthly iniroau reports, aud ttie prices foi'OOU down 50.10 'id points witlnij a few hours after tho news was 11 Ashed over the. wires. This eoulu not have happened in cither instance had not the public boon misled. It has been presumed that the agri cultural department at Washington was operated lu ttie Interest of the farmers, when as a matter of fact, these monthly reports are being uocd s the oasts of tho rankoat klndul spec ulation and against the interest of the producers. Straogo to say the market uas rallied Immediately after these Hidden drops caused hy ? bearish '' bU reau reports, which prove-conclusively thai tho public places little reliance on .ho correctness of such lnfonuatiou. Tue producers are not to bo caught so oaslly and the mills will soon real z i that In order to lay In their tuippiios they must come into tho spot market fairly and pay the true value of the staple. The fact that this season's crop is short is too well knowi. for holders lo De deceived, and If the -ouree from which the government secures its in formation is no longer reliable a change had better oe mude in the methods cm ployed. If It were possible that the yield should amount this season to 10,000,000 bales the supply would still mil short of demand for consumption 1 U0U OUU bales, and high prices siioulu still eo itinue to prevail. The European and Eastern mills mu-t have cotton. They can no longer pui? sue a temporary policy, and if ine pro ducers continue to stand linn they will receive tho prices they are demanding, The fact Is more apparent now than ever that the cotton producers of tho South must perfect sou e system i y wnich concert and reliable information about the crop can bo placed in tiicir hands. They must come together and perfect a method based upon sound business principles, which will guard and protect their interest from tho merciless Impos ton of the speculator The experience of this season will have a powerful Influence upon the fu ture. The prloe ol spot cotton for tho balance of tnis season Is absolutely in ihe hands of tho producers, and tin y should not be lollucncod to saorlllco t he;r holdings upon a "bearish" market and thus play into the hands of the foreign spinners.
