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.

Testimonials of Eminent Physician*
of the State.
The following are selected from many sim?
ilar ones :
DR. L. C. KENNEDY:, of Spartanbnrg,
writes the Proprietors : "The remedial qual?
ities of Glenn Springs I hate known for over
forty years, and can attest tc its value in
Dyspepsia from gastric or functionnl derange?
ment of the Liter, General Debility, Dropsical
Effusions. Uterine Irregularity and Affections
of the Kidneys and Bladder. To the last dis?
eases I would particularly call attention, as
the waters have shown large curative powers
In these complaints."
DR. 0. B. MAYER, of Newberry, S. C.,
says: "I have sent more than fifty persons
suffering with Jaundice to these Springs, and
have never been disappointed in any case;
they all speedily recovered. I cannot find
words to express my confidence in the Glenn
Springs water, a3 a remedy for the Liter,
when functionally deranged. Dyspepsia,
Dropsy, certain skin disea?es, troubles in the
Kidneys And Spleen, if produced by the Liver,
have all, as I know, disappeared at the
Springs."
DR. JAMES MCINTOSH, President of the Med?
ical Association of South Carolina, in his an?
nual address before that body remarks:
"Glenn Springs, for diseases of the Stomach,
Liver and Kidneys, deserves to rank with
any other on the continent,"
PRICE OF WATER.
Per case of two dozen quart bottles, sccorely
packed and delivered on the train at Spartan?
borg, $4.00.
Per gallon, by the barrel, delivered at

? WELL TRIED TREATMENT
For Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis,

Neuralgia, and all Chronic and
Nervous Disorders.
When 'Compound Oxygen' ls inhaled, the
heart has imparted to it increased vitality.
That organ sends forth the blood with more
force and less wear to itself; the vital cur?
rents leave on their circuit new deposits of
vital force in every cell of tissue over which
they pass, and return again to the longs for
a new supply. This isa rational explanation
of the greatest advance medical science bas
yet made.
'The Compound Oxygen Treatment,' Drs.
Starkey & Palen, No. 1529 Arch Street, Phil?
adelphia, have been using for tbe last sixteen
years, isa scientific adjustment of the elements
of Oxygen and Nitrogen magnetized, and the
compound is so condensed and made portable
that it is sent all over the world.
Das. STARKEY & PALEN have the liberty to
refer (in proof of their standing as Physicians)
to the following named well-known persons
who have tried their Treatment :
