Isaac Hayoe, io reviving the iron works (de? stroyed during ?he Revolutionary war) which they conducted for some years, until Mr. Hill's death. General Hill graduated at the United 8tates military academy in 1842, aud went immediately to Maine to serve on the frontier duriug the trouble with England tn reference to the boundary line. He was in nearly every import? ant battle in the Mexican war, and was . member of the storming party at Cha pultepee, where ne and Lieut.

Generai Hill was a contributer to the eurrent literature of the day, and has also published ao algebra, "A Consid? eration of the sermon on the Mount," 1888 and "The Crucifixion of Chris?'186?. A Leaf From History. Gen. Edward McCrady in his excel? lent address on '"The Peopling of the State," rod at S ate burg last month, it will be iewenjh-red, referred to the massacre*%e Hampton family suffered from the .IooUaos during the Revolu? tionary war in Spartanburg district. The facts of this event have, like j j much of the Jnstory of that period, been S . altnosfr entirely forgotten, and there is f , scarcely a person in the State who ; knows any detailed information what- j j " ever about it. Anfnony Hampton, thc father, with his wife and daughter, Mrs James Harrison, and his PODS, Preston, Ei ward and Henry, moved to Spartan? burg district ami settled on the Ty ger River in 1774. At the commencement of the troubles between the colonies and j ' the mother country it was a matter of | 1 deep concern to tbe people on the ff on- j;.1 lier of South Carolina that the Chero? kee Indiaos should not engage in the war. in order to secure peace with ?hem, Presten and Henry Han.pton made them a visit, and formed an ac? quaintance with their chiefs and head men. But they had already been se- i ' duced by the British Government, ar.d j about thc time that Sir Peter Parker ? made his memorable attack on For! jJ Moultrie, in Charles'on harbor, the j > savages began their incursions oa the j1 frontier ef the State. j ; A parry of Indians ene day in July, i 1776, approached the Hampton place, j 1 and some of the leaders were recog- j ? nized'by Preston, who went out to meet I them, thinking their errand was a ! ' peaceful one. As he extended his band j . to them in friendly greeting, however, j( he was struck down and killed, and the 1 "whole horde of savages thea set upon 1 the plantation, murdering Anthony ? 1 Hampton, his wife, and a little grand- ? ' child, the infant of Mrs. James Harri- ; 1 son. A lad named John By nu m was j taken prisoner and adopted into the ; ' tribe. He remained with them for : 1 some time, but was restored under the 1 treaty of 1777. j1 Immediately after this massacre Col. ;2 Andrew Williamson raised a Urge body , 1 of troops and marched ioto thc Chero- , c kee country, burning several town? and ! villages and taking ample revenge on 5 ?ho tribe for their treachery. Henry < Hampton, who was an officer in the ; expedition, killed with his own hand ? an Indian who went iuto the hattie ? wearing a coat which had been taken j 1 from the dead body of his brother Pies- v ton at the time of the massacre. Edward Hampton, at the Mme of the c massacre, was at Baylis Earle's on i J Pacolet, whose dauMiter he afterwards ^ married and in this way escaped, but 1 he was afterwards killed in the w*r by * the Torie? He was a bold cavalier. c and one of the best horsemen for his age * in South Carolina. 'S Mrs. Harrison, who was an ancestor c of thc present family ia Anderson, was r' absent on a visit to a neighbor's house J* when th*e massacre occurred, and re- u turned just as the Indians left. 11 Gen. Wade Hampton, thc famous (^ old Revolutionary officer, was in N ?rth 31 Carolina vrh?*n rh?? ?l'tac!; wis made. A t ICS tu J ( '? ' u i. < The Red Cross of the Army of Northern Virginia. At the meeting of the South Carolina State Press Association in Spartanburg in 1S76, Hugh Farley toasted Capt. F. W. Dawson, and in the course of the very eloquent little speech that he made referred to "the brave young Eoglish rnan who left his home to come to Amer? ica to fight for the South " No one who was present on the occasion has forgotten or is likely to forgei the burn? ing words iu which, as his eyes filled with tears and his voice became tremu? lous with emotion, Capt. Dawson res? ponded to the sentiment spoken by Farley. Among other things he said : "I thank God that I have the satisfac? tion of knowing that, when I go to my grave, I shall go there with the Red Cross of the Army of Northern Vir? ginia ou my breast !" It has been more than thirteen years since the meeting of the Press Associ? ation at Spartanburg. Many of those who were present then have passed away-the eloquent voice of "the brave young Englishman" is stilled forever, and his busy hands lie folded across his breast ; but bis old comrades have not forgotten him, the men who fought with him in Virginia still cherish his mem? ory. Only a day or two ago Mrs. Dawson received a splendidly engrossed copy of the resolutions adopted by the Maryland Society of the Army and Navy of the Confederate States in res? pect to her husband's memory. The resolutions are as follows : At a special meeting of the Society of the Army and Navy of the Confederate States, in the State of Maryland, held in Baltimore, March 19, 1889, it was unanimously Resolved, Having heard with acute sensibility, of the tragic and sudden death of their friend and comrade in arms, Capt. Francis W. Dawson, of the staff of the Army of Northern Virginia, and for the last twenty years a distiu guished and honored ckizen of Charles? ton, South Carolina, hereby places on its records, this testimonial of their ad? miration for his career and bis character, of their love and respect for his memory and of their sympathy and tender affec? tion for his widow and his fatherless children. Alien in birth alone, he was by blood by afJectiou, by devotion, our brother, endeared to all by his nobility of soul and his sacrifices in defence of our homes, our hearts and our liberties. In the dawn of a noble manhood, he gave up country and friends to dedicate his fortunes and his life to the cause which we loved, and for which so many of our heroic comrades and leaders died. In the whole army of Northern Vir? ginia, there was no soldier who made a more distinct impression on a larger circle Lbao did this staff officer of Fitz hagh Lee, for chivalry, generosity, gal? lantry, truth and devotion. His death, like his whole life, testified to his noble principles. He was in life and death the defender of the defenceless, the pro? tector of the friendless ; true, honor? able, brave ; he has left his widow and children a priceless heritage of the love, respect and sympathy of ail honorable and high-minded people over this whole land. We lay this tribute on his grave, and sxtend to those whose sorrow time alone san alleviate, our heartfelt sympathy iud -respect, and it is ordered that a ;opy of this testimonial be sent to his j family, properly signed a?d certified. j y BRADLEY T.

America at the Exposition. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 26.- P Prof. C. V. Riley, who has been iu ?iiarge of the Department of Agricu?- a ture exhibits at the Paris Exposition, ' P has just returned to the city, after an V absence of five months. Prof. Riley 11 thinks that some of the criticisms of the American exhibit at Paris have been 0 sssentially unjust, and while improve- tl ments might have been made, the dis- i u play, while not doing us full justice, he considers that as a whole that it never- j? theless rc?-cts credit upon the country which it rf presen ts. "Almost every jne at the Exposition." he says, "a- j erees that after France, Belgium took ! n . a rhe lead in the quality and quantity of; $ her general display. Then perhaps j ci England, Americi coming fourth in the I *' list of excellence. I believe that thc j - iwards will confirm this estimate " "This standing is very creditable, ! indeed, when il is considered that Belgium, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and )ther countries appropriated sums of Boney to defray thc expenses uf ex!.Tol? ing their goods far in excess to that j provided for in the act of congress, which appropriated but ?250,000 for \ he work. "The agricultural exhibit from the [Jaited States,'' he says, "received ; ? vords of commendation on all sides, ; nany remarking it as the m^t charac- j eristic of the American dt ^iay. The i i^ricul;ural display was removed from ^ he Champs de Mars to more frequent- : ," :d part? of the Exposition grounds so ?i hat it was often :<;<t visited by those j TIJO passed th mu?-li the other sections ' md passed judgment upon them. ^ Fhere is no c.-tu-': f-r complaint of the ti nek ot' facilities given as by the m a ii a- : !!( fers of the exposition, although we did ^ ;ick room for a proper display of what ?,. ve liad.

C., Sept. 20.-The de? fense proved that a slanderous report bad been circulated concerning the prisoner's daughter ; he bad traced it back to Langston, who had related it Lo his niece-. Lanford asked Langston if he had made a certain statement, to which he replied, "Yes," whereupon Lanford remarked : "No man can say that and live." They met again, Lanford having armed himself,and, ac lording to the testimony of the nearest witness, Langston advanced with a [)lank, when Lanford shot him three :ime8. The defense rested the case jpon the grounds-self-defense and vindication of a daughter's character. Judge Aldrich presented the law clear y. The case was given to the jury at 5 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and tfter being in the jury room all night hey disagreed, six being for acquittal iud six for manslaughter. -???in ? ? rn? The Black Walnut. The supply of black walnut is rapid y becoming exhausted, and there ia no atisfactory substitute for it in this :ountry. No other tree can approach t in value. It is a rapid grower, it ??ill thrive in almost any soil on this lootinent. it is a sturdy, handsome, 'igorous tree, easily growu, because no mimal and only one iusect feeds apon t. The black walnut has a transcen lent value but little known, which is hat the fiue European walnut grows ?nely on it, either stock or top grafted. The hardier varieties of this finest of mts from the north of Europe should ucceed top grafted on this hardy stock n Ontario and the Northwest. It can >e made to yield a fortune by those vho cultivate it on a large scale. In wenty years a grove will more than lave paid all expense and interest on he investment.
