This new land iu its sylvan beauty must have been a paradise to the first settlers. With fish from tho stream, game from the ( woods, fUcks of wild turkeys at their vary doors,?living was certainly easy, eTen lor i ha poorest. ^ I ?U iL.t ?1.!? -.1A rrum iraumoii, i ^iiiucr, mil iuis uiu community were a convivial set, and enjoyed their gathering for feast and revel. Of - dancing I know thej were particularly fond. Maj. .lohn Henderson and Miss Sallie Goudeloot arrayed in her "blue sillr and diamond necklace" would lead off in the stalely minuet. And dnubtlees, "slow step" "coopce" "sink and rebound" were as gracefully performed then as now. And M rs. Toller's sgility in the execution of lite "forty-nine s eps of old Roger" was the admiral ien of the country. l.ater on, came Mr. Abram Nott, a yoimg lawyer from Ssybrook, Conn., who married Mias]Angelica Mitchell, the niece auu adopted daughter of Mrs. Tetter. Misses {B;t?y aud Sallie, were daughters of Maj John Henderson. Betsy married Mr. ilenry Farnandis from Port Tobacco, Maryland, who was a merchant and opened a store near the ford. Sallie turned Mr. Beu Ilaile. Yound David Jobusou was liert reading law under Mr. Not'; also young William Henderson, son of Msj. John Henry Duiley from Virginia lived here for some iiuie. He was a fellow student of Lemuel Alston, step-son of Mnj. Henderson, nt Willian and Mary College in Virginia. -Jle caLehcre after his graduation, with young Alston. Mr. llailojr was a great favoiiie, a general companion and tin accomplished gentleman. He taught tchool for a while, afterwards went to Charleston, studied law and settled there. His son, ilenry Hniley, was the Attorney of South Carolina for several years. I have soin# beautiful old leiters from Henry Dsiley to Mnj. Henderson, my great grandfather, containing accounts of many interesting events occuriug in Charleston more tiian one hundred yeavs ago. David Johnson boarded at Chisholtn's, nenr the Potter place, where Mr, Noll lived and had bis ollice. Mr. C. had one daughter, Miss Nancy, the beauty and belle of the country. Of course, young David could not be So constantly associated with the pretty Nancy and remain insensible to her charms. And Nancy fell more than the cold regard of friendship for the handsome jouny David. Dm Alas! the maiden nan poor, and the swain had yet his fortune to make. So Nancy was wise, and married a rich sujtor,?and David was best man at the wedding, and led in the 'wild ride for the bottle," all of which I heard him relate with evident delight at the recillection, when he was a venerable old man, ?our greatly respected and beloved friend, Gov. David Johason. Miss Angelica Mitchell, tlie wife of Mr. Abram Nott later on '.Judge Nott, of Colli 111bis, 8. C\, was a relative we were all very fond and proud of. She was born and raised hvre, end lived the early years of her happy, married life on l'acolet and here her hist children were born. She was a w oman of rare endowment. She had a tine mind, far more than ordinary culture, a kindly aud pleasant disposition, united to grea. energy of character, and a fortitude that seemed never 10 give way uuder the sevorest trials, In my life, i nave never known her sup. erior, and few who could compare with her in nil the qualities that go to form the highest charncter of womau. Bui, decidedly the most notable woman of Ibis old neighborhood of Griudsl was Mi?s Snllie Goudeiock. 1 approach the subject with hesitancy; for it would take the pen of a Fielding, a Smollett And a lot more of her favorite old Euglish authors to do her justice. Miss feallie Goudeluok was the eldest daughter of Mr. Goudeiock who lived on North Pacolet. When Maj. Henderson moved here froiu North Carolina, Miss Sallio was then, bad been, and continued to be, the acknowledged leader of society. She had passed through tho war, uu ardent wh'g, giving aid and all her sympathies to the cause. She had known many notable characters of the times troth Whig British aud Tory, for her father was a lame man, a 11011cotniatatil; so it followed, his house was frequented by all parties. She had visited Morgan at his oauip at Griudal ford, in company with her father and sister, and was escorted home by Col. Win. Washington and Col. Howard. It was delightful to iiear her relate her experiences during (lie war. In Mrs. Henderson, my great graudmoihei. M iss Suliie found a congenial companion. The friendship grew with the years. Mi*s Sallie was the true Iriend ot' Mrs. Hendersons daughter, Mrs. Farnuudis. lly lite time Mrs. F's daughters catneon, Mies Sallie had taken a partner. She was Mrs. Murray. As Mrs. M., she was the dear friend of my u other. who was a daughter of Mrs. Farnandis and the venerable, respected, beloved friend of rny mothor's daughters: and tins one now writing, only wishes she had the gift and ability to picture the character of ibis noble old lady. Mrs. Murray had long passed her second youth when vhc married Mr. lhoinas Murray, a handsome young man, quite smart and a great reader, but many years her junior. lie was dissipated, ller marriage wns the one folly of her life, and as she often said in hor after years, "she pleased her eye, but pained hor heart when she married Thomas Murray." Mic bad a ir.ee properly, laud and negroes, but it didn't tske Tommy many years to spend it and reduce her to poverty aad dependenco all of which, she bore with the most cheerful resignation. Hut no one could associate with Mrs. Murray anything but. sunshine and happiness, She must have been a wo. man of great natual power, for her advantages were few. Sbu was a reader and eager lor knowledge and Belf-improvcment. her memory was something wonderful.?She could, in her old ago, recito ballad after bullad that she had learned in her youth; was familiar with tho early English authors; quite an admirer of Dr. Johnson,?her favI 1 '/ > i orite maid was called ' Pekuab," from one of Johnson's heroines. She was always ready with m quotation from some favorite author, and could make apt application of it. I remember, after she was a very old lady, a widow, living all alone up in the hills, taking a young friend of mine to visit her. The young lady was very beautiful, and her name was Aurora. When I introduced my friend, she tools lur by the hand aud smilingly said: "She is neither Kora nor Dora nor Sheleonguira, but her name is the fair 1 janira." A finished woman of society could not have made a more graceful compliment, and it took me mauy days searching before 1 found ^he poem aaiongst the old British po ts that she quoted from. Cut her i. ind was a storehouse, filled with poetry and r. ..t ince. >he was the welcomed guest at all the gatherings of the country. Jdie was re and aud connected to a great mauy of the families. 1 can remember at the grand dinners and family gatherings at the Nuckoll'a mansion, how tho kind and courtly Wm. Nuckolls would lake Mrs. Murray ou bis arm, giving her precelcoee over all the as setnblcd guests, aud escort her to tho table and the bright obi lady tvas the life and soul of the table after she got theie .? ? lu view of (lie fict that we have accepted as a State, Atlanta's cordial fflvitatiou to be present at her great Cotton States Imposition, it now behoves us to see that we gi> properly caparisoned, and make a creditable disp'ay. There is 110 longer any doubt as to whether South Carolina wilt be there. That question has been definitely settled. We will be there in friendly competi'iou with all the other states of the liuion. Thai we luve no appropriation from our Government, necessitates ihe greatest personal efforts u our own part and especially ou tne part of the women who are to be represented by a seperate exhibit of their own in the Woman's Building. Owing to the persoual good favor of ihe President of the Woman's Board this room is in the most consp cious and important position. It remains with us to mike it either an object of just pride for the whole State, or -but we will not con'euiplnte the possibility of failure, as we do not recognize it. The lime, however, is growing very short between now nnd the hour ot o.ir trial. 1 nave incrciurr juugf'1 uatvai y .? < ( 11*11luftq of the Woman's Commissi hi from South Carolina, to write this nppvil myself. to every woman in the State, mi I to puisoually entreat all those whose eyes may rea l these lines to do wha t they can tow u-1 the much desired result-that of showing that South Carolina, if she has ha 1 perforce to drop belaud in the march of progress is not behind in brain, spit it aud energy, the three esseutia's of success. / In the Worlds' Fair at Chicago the men- ! tion of Americans was to a greit cxteu' turned aside from their own exliio t< to the magnificent foreign displays, t ut iu this Southern Expos.tton the direct ;uj of t'ue North, East ?nd West wi:l be direr ed towards the Southern and Cotton States.
