Wardlaw : GAFFNEY, S. C., June 30,1898 His Excellency, W H. Ellerbe, Gover? nor and Commander in-Chief, Co iombia. S C Sir : Hitherto I bave felt some latent pride io the faot that two of my great? grandfathers-Hugh Wardlaw and James Witherspoon-were captains io tbe revolutionary war, that near rela? tives had fought io tbe Florida aod Mexicao wars, that two brothers-one of whom sacrificed his life after beiog voted a medal for distinguished gal? lantry-two ancles and over forty first cousins had served without discredit in the Confederate war ; that the name had occasionally been found on the booor roll of the colleges aod that it was not altogether unknown io the halls of legislation aod among the judi? ciary of the State. Now wheo I learDed of the testi mooials aod endorsements that had been presented to you by prominent gentlemen from almost every section of the State, saying that I was not worthless, I began to thick that may be I bad inherited some wee bit of courage aod merit from some of my kith aod perhaps I would make a sol? dier after all, provided there was out much prospect of a fight, bot your un? erring judgment in weeding oat the unworthy has dispelled all sucb ideas, and I am forced to agree with yeo that it was a vaio delusion. You mast be right to concluding that some slight military training under the peerless Coward, twenty years experieooe with the militia, holding encampments and protecting prisoners, even McLsndon at Florence and quieting iodigoaot sol? diers who almost rebelled agaiost this nauseating duty, unfits a man for hold? ing a position of military honor. I have uot one word to say agaiost the personnel of your appoiotmeots, most of tbe gentlemen are frieods of mine and I distinctly recognize their worth and heartily commend their courage aod ability, but what I do complain of is, that yoa have persist? ently ignored the militia colonels aod have promoted meo of inferior raok, aod of no superior fitness, over officers whose character, intelligence, courage and military acumen and experieooe is at least sufficient to handle a battalion or perform the duties of quartermaster sergeant. If Colonels Acid, Boyd, Claffy aod myself were all hopelessly ignorant, devoid of character, were be? low the required height, did oot weigh enough, had defective eye sight, had 00 experieooe aod koew ootbiog of military matters, theo your unfair and unwarranted discrimination would have beeo justifiable, bat hundreds of reputable Sooth Caroiieiaos, compe? tent to jadge, assured yoa that io their judgmeot some of us were worthy to become officers io time of war. It must be admitted by all reasonable peo pie that if the recking regimental offi? cers of the State miltia were qualified I that they should have beeo offered some position io the regimeots raised for ac? tual warfare, if not, theo of what use are these doughty colonels, verily none. 1 have not the pleasure of aa extended acquaintance with Colonels Auld aDd .daffy, their frieods have spokeo io uo uncertain terms as to their worth, but I do koow that Col. Jack Boyd bas given more time aod spent more rooney io tho interests of the military than aoy mao io the State We are at least glad that ooe colonel bas beeo rccogoizad io the magnificent person of Willie Jooes. The reputatioo of the State will not suffer io bis bands, ocr indeed bas there beeo aoy mistake io appointing the gallant Joe Alston, apart from the fact that he was promoted over two brigadier generals and five colonels of iofantry. Haviog beeo thoroughly convinced that I am totally aofit to hold a commis? sion of any kind, and that the up coun? try will only be required to famish tbe privates, I hereby tooder my resigna? tion as colonel of the third Regiment S C V. Respectfolly, Joseph G. Wardlaw. Col Wardiaw's resigoatioo was im? mediately acceptad by the Goveroor, and the Adjutant General instructed to inform him of the acceptance. Upon tbis General Watts iseot Col. Wardlaw a formal letter stating that his resigoatioo bad beeo received and accepted. All other military affairs in Columbia were overshadowed by the unexpected action of Col Wardlaw. Discussion ran high all day long yesterday pro and con.

Better Feeling Prevails -Fleet Should Have One Battle? ship. The Spaniards and Insurgents Fight. London, July 2.-A dispatch to The Daily Telegraph from Manila dated Tueeday, June 28, via Hong Kong, says : "The non arrival of the American troops has grievously disappointed Admiral Dewey, but the Americans still coant on celebrating the 4th of July in Manila. It is reported Admiral von Diedrichs sent two ves? sels away on learning that America regarded hi? attitude as unfriendly. A wholly improved feeling now exists The American officers ex? press confidence in their ability to dispose of any ships Spain can send, but in view of the alleged strength of Admiral Camara's squadron the wish is expressed that the admiral had at least one battleship "Last Thursday night the first not? able attempt was made to drive the insurgents from their advanced posi? tions. The attempt for the time look? ed as though it would be successful. The Spanish numbered 1,300. They delivered a determined attack on the insurgents at Malate. The latter met them with a well directed fire, but the Spaniards were reinforced and the insurgents began to fall back. Thus encouraged the Spaniards press ed forward, but at the critical mo? ment, the insurgents made a spirited rally and poured such a steady fire into the Spanish ranks that the latter were compelled to retreat and failed to summon up courage to renew the attempt." SURRENDERED TO DEWEY. Washington, July 4.-Admiral Dewey states that the gunboat Leyte, which ran up a river on May 1, the day of the battle of Manila, has come out and surrendered, having on board 52 army and navy officers and 94 men.

Bound Over Lake City Men. A Preliminary Examination in Charleston Yesterday. Charleston, July 1.-The prelimi? nary hearing in the case of the six men charged with conspiracy in the killing o? Postmaster J F. Baker and the burning of the po6toffice at Lake City last March was begun this after noon before Commissioner J Westley Smith in the presence of a large num? ber of witnesses and spectators Mrs. Baker was the first witness examined. She had nothing new to tell abont the tragedy. The story of the affair was better told in the press dispatches than by the testimony with which she favored the court. She took much time to answer tne questions which were put to her by District Attorney Lathrop and Mr. George L. Legare, the counsel for the defense. She seemed to be afraid to open her mouth and tell ber story in a straightforward manner. Joseph P. Newham was the next and last witnesses. He was one of the leaders of the mob and the first man arrested He "peached" on bis fellow townsmen, but made a poor impression. He told the story of the ill feeling against the negro post* . master. He attended the indignation meeting at Stoke's store on the Fri? day preceding the Monday night of the tragedy. At this meeting resolu? tions were passed for the killing of Baker on Monday. At this meeting were Newham, the prisoners, Epps, Stokes, Goodwin. McKnight, Web? ster and Ward. The party was re? enforced by Alonzo Rodgers, Charles Joiner, Bill Adkins and Sam Reed and others Newham said that he did not re? cognize those who assembled and committed the outrage. The oil was gotten from Goodwin's store, New? ham said, and carried by Goodwin himself to the postoffice. He did not know who actually poured the oil or placed the match. Ile recounted the shooting down cf Baker's family, when they appeared at the door and windows. Soldiers Charged With Lynching.
