KecoBc?tifM* ff Peer's Raid, HUitBEK XVI. The. dar was now dawning siter a long and anxious night; a day nat soon *o be - forgotten-the 9th of April, '65. We heard the tramping of feet and looking out, the whole cavalry force of Potter's army were passing our door. They were moving pretty mat, and were closely followed by the artillery. The brightly burnished guns could be dis? tinctly ?^??/thff etrij-r^dwru., I conn tedT sirv pieces: ^henr followed many platoons of negro soldiers. They kept ?tbeir ranks, and their -marching showed they had had a careful drill? master. They marched with a quick x step. It was' now daylight, and I could see the color-guard composed of whitedandotegro, soldiers; and as they passed my door there was sufficient air stirring -t?oj?en- its folds folly to sight. Then camei otherplatoons of white sol? diers ; and now there seemed to be no end to the black" soldiers ali marching by platoons. There was neither sound of trumpet or drum to tell of their rapid exit from our town. They did not march, loo mst for us. The morning son Way well upon the town when -they disappeared down the sL^e, as the road entered Black J^ver % swamp. We tkWht| ?xiy lal gone, when |'arsmall detachment of horsemen appeared and stopped at DK H:~H."?Tttggics* gate the headquarters of the General. They were, there bat a few min?tes, when the General appeared fully uniformed. The deftefcurefit made / htm their salute which: he: returned, and then mounting hts horse, they galloped- rapidly away. It now appeared to us that when this detachment disappeared down the hill and no one was see n~to folio aft hat all had gone. Our ferret ^remark was ex? pressing the. hope and wish for the safety of Heat.' Waterman.* We hoped now that some one of our neighbors would come-to# ottr relief. I needed assistance and. Mrs.--. was not able to a-stst me and prepar? near-. isfim?nV Bat ali were fearful to go out of doors and it Wasp several hours before we saw any one. . Mrs. Char? lotte BuBose was "the first to come over from Br. Huggins*. She came up the front steps very cautiously, and looked into my room even more so, but when she found me. there she began to weep, and then to rejoice at our safety. She mejfct-oa to jay . what, distress the jSmipipyjd i>eeo in all night about as. ana thar not a word"" had been "heard from us since Mrs.-had asked the General for the guard.1 That they ^goj^n^^ejl if the report was true that ? bad neenki???d or that they* nancar ried me off as a prisoner, 'And they c&d not barnfthe house ? They said all the'time that "they were going to barn it.* Her stay was made so long that Mrs. {Dr. Huggins came over to know the-cause, she bad. become uneasy, 1 cow?thece-'were new rejoicings at our safety/^ T% % I asked; 'have they done qo damage? TbeWassared me the tow? would be ?tedf . '? Sj} ' ^ph^ yes. All j the lower : portion of the town, ts ia ashes, and all of Mr. Levi's cotton is destroyed. It is barn? ing now. The Court house and jail are , barned.' ~\ # \ All this had occurredlin. jthe loweri \ part of the town and we knew nothing of it. Tbs Court house waa a jem in point of its beautiful proportions. It was always "admired?fby visiting stran- ' gars. I leard one say wh?>bad lived tn China for years that a better or more attractive^t?lding he had tie ver seen in all bis travels. I \ | We made; careful inquiry fas to how they had fared. Having the General and several of his .staff fin the house we supposed they were not intended upon. But our surprise was great when we learned that they took possession of the house, excepting two rooms. No leave was asked. They took it astheir right In- these two \ rooms the family had to remata. Their yard was crowded with negro soldiers the live long night, and ^around the fires they kindled in the vynxd they kept np an ? n tolerable confu? sion. They borroiced all the table ser? vice and kitchen utensils, and some sil? ver which they had failed hiding They were rude and insulting and threatened their Jives and kept them in continuai dread with the threat of burning the premises. They destroyed every thing ; and all the provisions they appropriated, actually leaving them nothing to sub? sist opon. .They packed up all they bad borrowed, made no r?mun?ration \ and carried it off. My impression is, there was some writing paper left in the General's room. After these friends had ?tired, I said to Mrs. --, let us have our usual prayers which have been interrupted. You'll please read the scriptures. Beaching the book, she remarked, 'I'll read just here where the Bible has opened-' She liad not read many ver? ses before we both saw the suitableness of the lesson she was reading-the fifty "fifth (55) Psalm. Mi. J no. M. Hodge came in to see m. ile had heard alarming news of how they had treated me. **I feared to come,'* be said as the tears came -thick and fast. He lived across the swamp on the direct road to Sumter. I had. not the faintest idea of how terri? bly he had suffered at Potter's hands. He made no reference to it. His entire interest seemed to be in me and mine. He however had brought a chicken or two to us, knowing my condition. It wu a timely 'gift, for we with all the r?:>t had had "all ours stolen. 1 have Bot forgotten bis thoughtful kindness. When the first rumors reached us of tho approach of this army, Mrs. McCauley, on her way through the town to 'the, Fork/ deposited with us certain parcels of factory thread for safe keepiog. And now she comes, Bhe is in great agitation. She is in my room asking 'where's my thread, where's roy thread. The Yankees have bsd a fight with our men and have been ! whipped. They are on their way back and are-^burniog every house. They havejjboraeiMr SO aod sp, and look thera^Sey bav?^et ?re to the Academy.' Drawing aside the cur tato the build? ing TOP?Q ptain viewy on ihe right of th? Pocataligo road and snre enough great volumes of smoke were rolling from the windows and doors, and soon the blase broke forth and it was wrapt tn fire. In ^rreat alarm she hurried down the steps carrying..-the thread to her buggy; and she-rode out of towu in haste? How it was protected in ocr home I could not understand. Her statements and the building in fi?mes disconcerted* us no little ; but wheti^we recovered ou? composure, we were' forced to believe it was all a mis takeVaooVtbat the fire-iad been set by the negro soldiers who had crowded the house during the entire night, and smouldering until now, it had burst forth. It was after raid-day wheo the fire burst forth. The destruction of this large building was complete. Later in the day there were several others who visited us, and we were kept in a constant state of feverish excite* ment at the repeated reports that Potter was meeting with serious opposition on bis way to Sumter, and that be would be forced to return to Georgetown through? our towu. - The baggage wagor,8 jawi tfce'manj^negroes wbo now left their owners' farms and premises and they left in multitudes, in some places all left,'for this army proclaimed them free-began to pass over the cause? way, even before day dawn. Lieut. Waterman had told me that according to the reports rendered him there was not a great deal of repairing needed to the bridges on the causeway, which had fallen. But in this he had re? ceived an incorrect report, for the noise of cutting and hammering necessary to these repairs continued until just before day dawn. The destruction of Brew ington Bridge which had so seriously interfered with their forward movements, and now the -delay caused from the barning of these bridges, irritated and maddeued tbem,' and only intensified their resolves tojreach Sumter by that route* As soon as ?Bey were made passible, the army was ic motion. Mr. Dudeley E. Hodges7 premises were to be passed. His home was directly on this road, seven miles from Manning, ami iett ja?ies, froci . Dingle's Mill. There were large and valuable interests liere. In fact, there were two planta? tions with large dwellings upon both. The one further on was occupied by Mr. J. E. and bis daughters from Georgetown, S. C: Connected withiMr. D. E. Hodge's interests .was a fine mill seat. It had stood the storm of three generations and bad ia ail these years been patronized by the people for miles around. Then there were all the neces? sary out buildings, barns, gin house, cotton press, and all these were erected wit? liberal proportions, and the best material had been used in their con? struction. There was also an exten? sive tan yard, and shoe factory, at which a large amount of work was then being done for tue army. Besides this there was a large amount of cotton packed and in the seed, corn and rice, fodder aod peas;- a large amount of meal was at this time on band; bis smoke house was commodious and it was well supplied.. His large interests there carried on and his many depen? dants, necessitated these large supplies. Mr. D. E. Hodge after giving what directions he could and seeing to the 8afety-r?-?Hs..fami]y as best he could, left them, about the time the army be? gan to leave Manning, for Dingle's Mill 10 miles away. His family consisted of his wife and six children. His daughter, Miss Eugenia-: had not been home very long from College, whence she fled before the approach i og hosts' of Sherman, as he was about entering the city of Columbia, S. (TM fir the Basted necessary she left ber entire wardrobe io the College buildings. She being the eldest, there were many charges given her by her father before he left. There had been nothing to disturb work on either of these places, as Fede? ral troops had been, so far as known, no nearer than Charleston, and exceot iag.detachmeats of hands sent occasion? ally to some-^poiot oa the coast to work, ott>-: fortifications,- to all appearances everything was as quiet as in times of peace. " " vr' The news reached this family on Saturday that Gen'I Potter was in Man? ning, and that it wa3 bis purpose to reach Sumter by that road. At the head of the causeway from Manning across Black Iiiver?a small force of old men convalescent and furloughed from wounds, had been placed, but they were too meagre in resources or numbers to make anything like a sucessful resis? tance, though theyJ??d chosen a point wheredtbey might have decimated this appro?SIpg army. Sg^i? The Ee*v Richard Furman, D. D The following from a correspond? ent of the iV??cs and Courier gives a brief review of the life and work of Dr. Furmau : SUMTER, October 7 -Richard Fur man was born OR November 9, 1816, in the historic district of Beaufort. On both sides became from prominent fam? ilies. His grandfather, who was also named Richard Furman, stood, in his day and generation, among the foremost clergynieu in America, and he held the important position of president of the General Convention of the Baptist De? nomination in the United States. He was the first one to hold this office. Dr Samuel Furman, the father of the de? ceased, was a minister whose fervent piety and grand eloquence are well re? membered. James C. Furmau, the venerated minister whose name is so intimately associated with Furmau Uni? versity, is an oncle of Richard Furman. Such was his kin on bis father's side. His mother was a Miss Scrimgeour, which family were once, history tulls us, the Earls of Dundee. Jaue Porter, in her stirring romance, the "Scottish Chiefs," tells ns about these Scrimge ot?rs. Richard Furman was looked upon as the representative of that his? toric family Richard Furman early united himself with the church of his father, and his profound learning, his deep piety, his noble Christian character, placed hun in the front ranks of the ministerial world in South Carolina. Twice did the Baptist denomination call upon him to preside over them in their State Cun vention. Ile was the esteemed pastor of several churches in this State, among them the Greenville church, now the strongest Baptist church in South Caro? lina. It was during his pastorate that the present elegant and spacious church building in Greenville was built, and in an able and forcible sermon he dedi? cated it. In January, 1860, Dr Rich ard Faller, upon becoming au assistant editor of the Religious Herald wrote to the editors of that celebrated denomi? national paper, and among other things, said : **You inform me that my beloved brother, Dr. Richard Furman (alarum et venerabile yiomen,') is to be associated with you in your work." Later in life Dr. Fcrman became one of the editors of the Baptist Courier, published in Greenville. Besides being an able minister and a learned writer on religious subjects, Dr. Furman was a sweet poet. That gifted Carolinian, Col. John Peyre Thomas, thus speaks of him as a poet; "The productions of the Rev. Mr. Furman consists of the- ''Pleasures. of Piety," and miscellaneous poems. These effu? sions are characterised by that fervent zeal and ?hastened spirit which proper? ly belong to the author. While other poets have beautifully portrayed the pleasures of memory, of hope, and of the imagination, Mr. Furman, invoking I the Nine from Zion's Hill, plumes him? self for a nobler flight, and with be I coming fervor, rtrjuuts the higher and j more lasting joys of piety." The lines written by Dr. Furman are doubtless the best ever written upon that subject by any one. Although he accomplish? ed so much, Dr. Furman 'a health was always poor, and sometimes it was BO frail that he could not discharge the ? pastoral duties, and when he wrote the following lines in the "Pleasures of Piety," he entered more than we would imagine into the spirit of them : <{Of heavenly rest I sing. Transporting theme! How mean and low all earth-born glories seem, While on the joyous mount of Hope I stand, And hail the prospect of the promised land." A few years ago Dr. Furman re? moved to Fort Worth, in Texas, where some of his sons bad already gone, and there he died on last Friday. New Advertisements. TO ADVERTISERS.
