SOME INTERESTING HISTORY.
Continued frcm last week.
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
