In view oYnll this it may be well to
givo a few \4cts about the South Caro"
liua national guard, us at present organized.
V
According to tho last report furnished
iho United SWtes government by Adjutant
(leueftf Watts, this State has
3,743 mou acHlly enlisted and in ser- '
vice now siSeot to orders. They arc
all very weifP^uipped. Of these 51 are
general and stair officers, 1,200 cavalry,
5)2 artillery and 2,410 infantry. The t
total number of men liable to infantry
service in this State is put down as
177,800. Columbia is a first-class point
for mobilization of troops and they
could bo gottou here and scut to the
front in less timo than one would
imagine, If a service call were issued,
it is estimated that these men could be
pushed to tho front in twouty-l'our
hours' time.
In the national guard of tho several
States there are 1,301 general and field
officers. Pennsylvania heads the list
with 185; then comes New York with 80,
and (Jeorgin 84?perhaps mostly colonels.
The cavalry of tho several States
numbers only 5,21(0 men. and of these
South Carolina heads tho list with 1,200,
nearly four times as many as any

number of men in tho natraiAitafctaMl
is 101,873; New York comes first with
12.503 men, and Pennsylvania second
with 7,5)20. '
The total men now iu actual service
in tne national guard of the countrv
number 113,100. The total authorized
by law is 110,120; it is thus seen that
the ranks are very nearly full. The
total men liable to military duty iu the
several States are 10,133,788.
An authority says: "In tho military
roll of honor the Stnto of New York
heads the list with a roster of 13.285
men. in four brigade.*, which are ?n-?>
pared for iustaut service.
"The total number of men in that

"Next to the Empire State, in joint
of avuilablo men is the State of Pennsylvania,
where there aro '<12, :>15 men
cajiable of bearing arms. There, too,
many of the men available for service
have been thoroughly trained in the
military organizations of their adopted
country or their native land, for many
of them are naturalized citizens, but
men who are loyal to the Hag.
"Pennsylvania's militia strength is

A dispatch from Columbia. S. C.t to
tho New York Sun says:
Gen. Wade Hampton, oue of the two
surviving lieutenant-generals of the
Confederacy, consented to speak of the
Maino disaster and the probability of
war with Spain.
"leaunot express an opinion on the
cause of the Maiue tragedy," said the
General, "as that is a matter which
will be determined by experts and divers.
But as to what course the United
Statos should pursue should the disaster
prove to be due to treachery, or to
fanatical hatred of the United .States on
the part of some individual Spaniard, I
do not hesitate to say that we should
demand a heavy indemnity and enforce
tho collection of it at tho muzzle of tht
gun."
General Hampton was asked if h?
would oft'er his services to the govern
inent, but declined to answer. Frou
his subsequent conversation tho infer
ence conhl he drawn that he would not,
He would advise, he said, that the mei
of tho South stay at homo and let tin
North furnish the troops.
"We are. said he, "just recovering

another war would give us another set

When asked what disposition rhotih
