Keviewing Articles on the Late War. lMen of Massachusetts, you have conquered every thjng else, now learn to conquer your prejudices/ Daniel Webster.said that or words to that ef? fect, and if he was aliv? to-day be could say it 'to all of ns for we are the slaves of prejudice. I was thinking about thia while reading the last num? ber of the Century. In -the December 'number General Lew- Wallace wrote an account of the battle of Shiloh and IJ thought it was very fair and considerate, j cou ?iden og that he was a federal gene* j ral. I believed V him ,to .be sincere. I And now comes General Grant in the J : last number and says that Lew Wal- J lace did not obey orders and bungled up things 'terribly; General Grant] starts out by abusing Genera^ Halleck, his superior officer, and digs him un- J *der the short ribs severely. The big- i gest thing in bis long article is Gene- ?j ral Grant, and he takes up a good deal j of space in telliog about his boise fall-, ing down and butting bis ankle, and about bis standing by a tree all night ? in the rain. Well, that was bad-very bad-and we are sorry fae. had it to do, J but it was twenty-three years ago, andi we are all weli of it jiow^ He says j that the-Confederates bad over 40,000 j men the first day, and he bad only 25,- j OOO in line.; but be never had any jj doubt about whipping the fight. He ? says further that Lew Wallace came j op after the first day's fight with 5,000 men. aod Euell came next morning with 20.000 more, and this made a total Qf 50.000 for the second day. He says be did not need Euell s force, but was glad .to see them and they did all that there was Tor them to do Well, now let us look at Wm. Pres? ton Johnstones account in the same number. He says that grant had an army of 58,000 men in camp/ nearly "50,000 of whom were effectives. Euell was near at hand with 37,000 more, aod Mitchell not far distant with 18, P00. in all Grant had 105,000 effect? ive men, and opposed to bim were less than 40,000 effective Confederates. So it seems that Grant was to have easily whipped the 40,000 Confederates with bis 30,000 Federals without any help from Bael 1. And on the other side it seems that Grant had 105.000 men -pitted against 40.000." Everybody is at liberty I sup? pose-to believe cither one or tue other ; but I reckon m?gt people will do like the juries do when the lawyers get them "all-befuddled--just split the difference and find a verdict. ' * Beauregard and bis friend Jordan make up a pretty good story for their side, and Wm. Preston Johnston handles them without gloves and makes up a better one for 'General Albert Sidney Johnston, and so it goes, aod nobody knows jost how it was exactly, and never will know I reckon. I don't believe any of these writers can tell it justas it was for they are all just hu? man and have prejudices and it is im? possible for them to see it from the i same standpoint. Aod we their read j ers will believe or not believe accord? ing to our prejudices, for we can't help ! it. We inherit a love of **our side'* just like we inherit our politics or our religion. It isa trait in-human nature that eon tri bu tes to our good and makes us happier, but like all other good things it can be induced in to extremes, and then it makes us selfish and conceited aod uncharitable. ' I know that the truth of history ought to be vindicated if it can be. but I don't see that ali this wrangle about j the battle of Shiloh is doing any good. ! It is pretty well settled that, we got badly whipped somehow or somehow, else and the 'ifs* and the .peradven? tures' are top uncertain to make up his? tory. They remind me of an article I read about General Jackson " at New Orleans. The writer said that 'old Hickory* was the'second saviour of the world, for if he badent commanded at New Orleans and killed old Paokenham, old Packenham would have whipped that fight, and theo gone back to Eng? land and taken charge of the English army, for he ranked Wellington, aod Napoleon and would have whipped him at Waterloo, for Packenham was a poor general, and then the French jrpold have whipped England and all the rest of mankind, and the whole world woaid by this time be under the Ereoch empire and be eating frogs or catching them for a liviog. Ooe thing is certain though, the rebels did some good fighting on seve? ral occasions, for General Grant says.so i and several other federal generals have said so. 1. believe they do give us cf edit for getting op a little stampede at Boll Run. and now there seems to be a foss about that, for General Pat? terson's son has taken offense <>od comes to the front to defend his father w*>o is dead. That brings in some I ?.^re 'ifs,* for tbey say that if General ?Patterson had joined McDowell in time the rebels would not have whip? ped the fight at Bull Roo, and so it goes. There is jost about as much Jealousy among * military commanders as among doctors in a one-horse town, and it is of a worse kind, for a doctor cao die out of it and get rid of it, bot a general can't. They will rake him np and slander him after he. has been dead and buried for twenty , years. I coo fess to prejudices aod I can't help feeling a burning indignation when I hear the patriotism, the genius or the generalship of Albert Sidney ?Johnston questioned by anybody, especially by those who en yied him, I love to love the memory of the man and I don't like anybody who seeks to disturb my faith. Faith is the comfort of a man. Faith j jo those we have been taught to ad? mire-faith in friends, faith in religion. I would not try to shake the faith of a Baptist in immersion, nor an Episco? palian in the apostolical succession nor a Jew in the Talmud. Let them have their faith and let me have mine. But I would try to enlighten .the beclouded minds of those who worship.fire and the sun and all sorts of idols and .have no in tel ?igeh t conception of God an d h is goodness. The Jew is as much a Christian as the Gentile, for he believes in a Saviour-the Saviour who sitteth at the right hand of God, and the only difference is that he does not believe He has yet come, but that he will come. We should be thankful every day that religious in tolerence has .passed away and with it the inquisition and the Smithfield fires and the drowning of witches, and thus our children are safe from martyrdom for opinion's sake. The intolerant and the rabid prosely ter must go. There is but one God, and Mohammed is not his prophet, nor anyone else who claims the exclusive right to be. The church 1 militant is just like the army militant. The pri? vates do the fighting, and there is many a private who is a better man than his captain or his colonel. Gene ral Grant says, in bis Shiloh article, tb at h is men stood ; firm, but som e of his colonels were arrant cowards and left tue field. I am glad of one thing, and that is that the people b?ve at last made a new departure and elected a man presi debt who was not a military hero.' The country is not sick of heroes, but it is tired of their claims for civic .honors and rewards. They are not statesmen, as a genera' thing, and are out of their element in administering the affairs of a great nation. I hope that Mr. Cleve? land will let them rest awhile when "he makes up bis cabinet. General Grant had a sweet crowd around bim, and they stole and plundered everything they could, but I believe that most of them are now dead or disgraced, or both, and the country has almost for? gotten they ever lived. But everything looks qujte peaceable now on this side the Atlantic and the prospect is bright for the next four years to come. We are at peace with all the world. A WOMAN DESPERADO. Very Fond of; a Fight and a Bead. ?Shot With a Revolver. ABILENE, TEX., January 20.-M?ud Raynor, the woman desperado, is in jail in this city for assault. She is wanted io a dozen places, and bad sev eral complaints against her before the one on which she. is now held was lodg ed. She lived here quietly until a wo man who was jealous of her revealed her identity to the police. As soon as she found that she was an object of sus picion she attacked her enemy with a club and almost beat err brains out. Maud' Raynor bas been a notorious char? in this State, the Indian Territory and Kansas for several years. She gained the title of woman desperado by reason of her recklessness 0/ human life and ber fondness for fights. . She goes arm ed to the teeth, shoots, wfth unerring aim and is quite as much at home with a bowie-knife or club as with a revolver. She has managed to escape arrest hith? erto, by reason of the fact that all man? ner of stories concerning her have been in circulation and ber actual appearance is very different from the idea which the people generally have formed of her. She is of compact frame and about me? dium height, with a graceful carriage Her features are small, her eyes steel gray and her hair long and abundant. In jail to-day she was raviog becanse ber keepers had taken away ber pistols and knives. "I suppose ?11 never see them again," she said. "When you get into one of these calabashes they always help themselves to what you've got, and whether you're sent up or not they keep all that they steal. I'll bet I've fur? nished half the Sheriffs ic Texas and Kansas with good weapons in the last five years. They don't get money enough together at one time to buy such things, but they know just enough to pinch them when they get a chance." Maud Raynor went through the Indi? an Territory once with about a regi? ment of Indians and white men OD ber trail. She bad been np at a ranch 00 the Arkansas River, where a great many desperate characters were congregated, and in a shooting affray in which she took a prominent part the bar-tender was killed. Every man swore that the woman was the guilty party and she recklessly admitted it, though it is prob? able that she was not the real offender. Some friends of the murdered man came along just thee and organized to lynch her. Getting wind of the programme, she 'stole a horse and set At for Kansas, the men following. Several Indians joined the pursuing party at various places until finally there were about 100 men on her trail. She managed to elude them for several days and coming Goally upon a band of chivalrous cowboys she made them believe she was a perse? cuted innocent. Her new-found friends promptly agreed to defend her against ali coiners and when her pursuers came in sight they were met by a volley which brought them to a stand. lu the course of three or four days they concluded to abandon the search. The exploit of which she is proudest occurred a year or more ago in the In? dian Territory. She bad beeo op io Kansas on the war-path and, making ber way back to Texas, bad fallen in with a rough crowd of plainsmen. One of these WLS a man named Dutton, whom she had known many years be? fore. In the course of au evening pass? ed at a ranch on the cattle trail, she bad a quarrel with this fellow, and after some harsh words, he rushed at ber with a knife. She was too quiuk for bim. He bad hardly got within strik? ing distance before she put a bullet through his heart. As be jumped in the air and fell back dead his com ra made a rnsh at the woman and wo have finished her then and there if < of the men had not taken her part i mild sort of way. As they stopped parley she made this proposition: "I'll fight the whole pack of you, < at a time. I killed that, man and 1 glad of it. I ought to have don? years ago." One man went out with her, and. i two stepped off twenty paces, tun and fired. The man got a bullet his shoulder, and wanted to quit 1 woman was unhurt. Standing tb< resolutely she.- called on the others a victim, but no one stirred. -Then e taunted them, and finally, when fi found that they were not disposed annoy her further, she said: "Now I'm going to Texas, and want an.escort. How many of you i goiog with .me?" They all agreed to go bnt two, ai to these two she addressed herself, sa ing: , "You're just'the ones that I want go with me, and you've got to go, too The others rather enjoyed the spoi She never took ber pistols off of the for a minute. They got ber horses o of the corral, mounted their own and her comm Al rode on in front of be \fhen sbe bad driven them ten or fi teen miles she made them tnrn bac while she rode on toward the South. Unless the wo ir an is convicted f ftie astault committed by ber in th city the other day, it is not believ< that she will be punished for any i ber other offenses. What Our Editors Say. Plain Words to Farmers. Carolina Spartan. Now and then we see an advertisi ment in a good pape^JJ stating that the reader will send one dollar to particular address, he will receive j return a formula for making a valuah compost, An ingenious< man, wit some little- knowledge of agricultun chemistry, might get Up a half doze good formulas, varying in the propot tion of the constituent parts, and a very good. But that is no reason wh the farmer slfculd pay a dollar for th formula. With the information in ag ric ul tura 1 papers and hand books o agricultural chemistry, the average fai mer can get np as good a formula as h can buy. Then our advice is to pa nothing for any directions foi* makin a compost heap. Each farmer can us the material around him to the ben advantage if he will only apply a littl common sense. The list of home-mad* manures on our farms is very limited Vegetable manures consist of greei crops, leaves, stalks, rich washings fros creek banks, cotton seed, and the like Stable, or barn yard manure consists c the excrements of all animals. Thi latter is very valuable, as it cont'in nearly all the' elements necessary fo plant growth. Then there are alway a few bushels of ashes about eyer farm. Of these manures, cotton see? and animal manures are the most va i aa ble, because they contain much nitrogen which io the process of fermentatioi unites with hydrogen to form ammonia, and they contain valuable inorganit elements also. These manures tb^at are wasting around every farm in thi county are valuable in themselves, 01 properly combined with each other they may be more valuable than when used alone. If all animal manures an carefully raked up and saved, almost any sort of proportion in the compost heap will be better than allowing these manures to be leached by every rah sud dried by every wind. There*? enough manure wasted in Spartanburg eveey year to increase our crops ten tc twenty per cent, if carefully saved and applied. In the course of this month we may give some formulas for com? posting, from ?wh ich the thinking farmer may derive some benefit. It may be well to state here that there is no special advantage to be gained by mixing cotton seed and stable manure, for these4are rich in the same elements. Their benefits are not dim in ?shed by mixing, however. But both beiog rich in ammonia, it would be more economi? cal to compost each with fine scrapings from the lot and fence corners. These scrapings or the washings from hollows in the woods, or on creeks, would ab? sorb the ammonia when fermentation begins, and thus give you a greater bulk of manure. One advantage from this composing is that you reduce the manure to a fine state, so that it mixes freely with the soil and is ready to be utilized by the plants. Never use lime or ashes in composting with animal ma? nures or cotton seed This we stated last week, and we understand that it is causing considerable comment by some of thc readers of lb? Spartan. In these manures the ammonia is either free or in combinations with acids. Lime, ashes and soda, all beiog strong alka? lies, have a strong affinity for the acids and rapidly form compounds with them. This sets the ammouia free and it es? capes from the compost heap Use no formula which instructs you to bring quick lime or unleached ashes in con? tact with manures rich in ammonia. Some of the receipts advise the use of salt in the compost heap. Now salt is composed of chlorine and sodium,-and these are not manures used singly or in combination. Yet it is claimed for salt that it produces a beneficial effect when used sparingly on certain crops. In the application of all manures, whether barnyard or commercial, they should be thoroughly pulverized. Stable manure reduced to a fine state and mixed with twice its weight of some good absorbent of ammonia, will do twice as much good as if applied in lumps. The Marion Star says : 'The Mason? ic fraternity and the Temperance society are having a lively time disputing as to the ownership of the Masonic Hall building. It appears that three orders -Masons, Odd Fellows and Sons of Temperance-erected the building some years ago. The Odd Fellows and Sons of Temperance died out.^leaving the Masons sole owners by right of survi? vorship. The present temperance or? ganization secured permission to meet in the hall and now claim that they are part owners of the building inasmuch as the old Sons of Temper? ance contributed one-third of the ex? pense in its erection.* .

How can they express toward* her whom they bav? hitherto tfeate?? with the respect dtfe to' a mather ?? carlessness and contempt that a boy naturally shows to a s??ter ? How cari they at a moment's notice forget the* hand that spanked them, and play prac? tical jokes on the .sis* of whom they lately stood in solemn* awe 7 And how ? can either the boy? or the girls be ex? pected to accept as tn'eir father One* whom they have always known' as ? brother? When the bridegroom says* to his twin brother, \P?fy son, come rnth me to the woodshed,* wrTl th? son for? get bow he was formerly accustomed to' fight his brother behind the barn?
