Editor Williamsburg Ilerald ol 20 years ago (or its successor):? KINOsXREK, 6. (J. Sir:? . In looking over some ol my old papers a few days ago, I came across a letter from my old and esteemed friend, Col John G Tressley, formerly a citizen of your town; but the letter was written from Santa rtosa, Oal., of date ^ r. November IS, 1SS1. This, I think, was the last letter I received from him. In this letter he informed me that ho was writing sketches of history of EiRaw Battalion and 25th South Carolina Volunteer Intantrv, for a voting - - -? ? - 1:<:? l.~ ,, VV! menu wno was fiinui^ mc ?? nliamsbuig Herald", being published at Ringstree,and wished me to furnish him with a short bio graphical sketch, of myself to incorporate in his history, I having been associated with his regiment as Assistant Surgeon. What j <wish learn is, whether his writing? tfere put in book lorm, and if so, cad I secure a copy at I hi? late date? My association with the 25i h Regiment was of the most pleasant character, and now (figuratively speaking) I am in the,sere and yellow leaf, I live largely in the past and it would afford me pleasure to-be put in communication with some of my old South Car^ olina comrades. I enjoyed the hospitality ot Capt Sellets and his father-in-law, Zimmerman while connected with the 25th Regiment. Can you give me their address? I think in or near Orangeburg, S. C. In whosesoever hands this missive may fall, he will greatly oblige me by giving such delinite information as tc my inquiry as he may possess 01 cau conveniently obtain. Very truly, A. J. Beale.

Oh, that comet! That cruel comet! Say, Air Editor, why should he come with his wood cart?his million mile lue! train? in the midst of these dry, hot. scorching dog-days just when illomened Siritis?the dog star? 1 the greatest stellar stin in our perspective universe, is pouring all his capable caloric on us in I conjunction with our own liery , luminary? Yes, right in the middle of this dry, cloudless season loo, too already hot. Why should he dump his wood train in the furnace of the sun and stir his (iies already hot enough to burn rocks like barrels of turpeu ine. Yes! yes! It is so hot now that rocks dumped in bv the tail of that cruel comet would burn like light wood Knots. I wish he had stayed away until about December and let this hot, dog-day spel I pass ofl". 1 reckon he is peeping now over the east, just before day on his I new start in his next great round through 1 lie utmost bounds of the solar system, gathering up clouds of debris, to return again with his fuel train one or two hundred i years hence to flush up ihe fire > tongues of our blowing luminary, in unison with the hundreds of i other comets that chequer the . profounds ot space whith their : fier.v trails, as they sweep and scavenger for sun fuel throughi out the bounds of his domain-'. Some day?some day, I reckon, I hey will finish I heir gleanings and when the sun burns out, and - the eat til gets cold, and the waters all turn to ice, there will be a change. God will make ll>ani avup Jifiiin* Tlo will li.rht nti ; viiv?. = jthe fires a anew; a k,uew heaven," a "new earth." "Behold 1 make . all things new." I I'll be there; you'll be there ? ; before that, however. There will be many conjunctions ot Sirius . and the sun, many hot dog-days, many comets with their lull trains of sun-fuel; but let us hope this 1 cruel comet will not come in dogi days any more. But, Mr Editor, talking about i dog days and hot, scorching . weather, if you want to see hot > weather, just let some big, public 1 days arrive in Kingstree and find , that iron fence around the court i house public square with no gates to let the farmers drive in and hitch their teams and stow away their buggies and carts and buni dies under their buggy seats lor ; lunch and horse feed for noon. > Streets crowded, livery stables full, r.ntl no 10 cts to hitch your inule in one. Let court come and witnesses be required to stand around in the square?no place to put his cart and his week's rations, the square made into a flower garden and posters at every corner saying, i "Keep oft" the grass!!" Well, Mr Editor, in the interest of harmony 1 (for I have advised the boys to carry their axes and knock out an : opening and drive in) I commend 1 Mr Samuel J Singletary's warn' ill}; to that county board?and would add that he urge the board to plant some more shade trees in this court house square. Several more are much needed. Yes! yes! Plant the shade trees. Yes, Singletary merits t lie thanks of the county, and lie getting them from all about in the neighborhood of PoSSI M Foiily.
