eated them with real kindness and consideration. We captured here not less than 100 prisoners, and we lost less than 10 men. The troops went to work as if they enjoyed the exercise, burning ties and twisting iron rails in different directions from Orangeburg. Blair had a few mounted men who penetrated eastward as far as the State road, and either destroyed or caused their Confederate coadjutors to destroy trestlework in abundance, and regular bridges, railroad included, as far as the Santee River. On my arrival in Orangeburg, while others were in some confusion, as our troops were being put out to follow up the retreating Confederates, and some men being sent to stop the fires, a lady, much excited and somewhat oversolicitous, came to me and demanded a guard. I tried to tell her to wait a while till we were in shape to furnish guards; but she could not delay. I could not make her see matters as I did in the line of relative importance. My firm rejection of her suit for that

he practice of dentistry when the war began. He enlisted in the spring of 1861, in Hagood's First South Carolina infantry, as first sergeant, serving with that command until forced to leave the infantry service on account of his health,. He soon after became a private in Company D, Third South Carolina cavalry, and in a short time was made second lieutenant and served as such until the close of the war. He participated in all the fighting against Sherman from Atlanta until he crossed the Santee river, including the fighting around Savannah. After the war he returned to Barnwell county and resumed the practice of dentistry and farming, which he has followed since, having been located at Allendale since 1892. In 1880 he was elected to represent the county of Barnwell in the State legislature and served two years. He was married in 1860 to Miss Sarah E. Dunn, of Barnwell county, and they have four children living: James H., practicing physician in Bamberg county; Mary A., now Mrs. A. M

his important commanders, Halleck was then instructed to say: General Grant's wishes, however, are that this whole matter of your future actions should be left entirely to your discretion. Sherman answered promptly on the 24th, and, in response to an invitation from Grant to present his views, he proposed to move on Branchville, ignoring Charleston and Augusta, then occupy Columbia, the capital of South Carolina, and strike for the Charleston and Wilmington railroad, somewhere between the Santee and Cape Fear rivers. Then, he said, I would favor an attack on Wilmington, in the belief that Porter and Butler will fail in their present expedition. After Wilmington should have fallen, he proposed to move upon Raleigh, in North Carolina. He would thus break up the entire railroad system of South and North Carolina, and place himself within a hundred and fifty miles of Grant. The game then, he said, would be up with Lee, unless he comes out of Richmond, avoids you, and fights me, in wh

's day, gathering from their plantations upon the banks of the Cooper, and taking advantage of the ebb and flow of the tide, they might all regularly be seen, the parents with their children, whom no bigot could now wrest from them, making their way in light skiffs, through scenes so tranquil, that silence was broken only by the rippling of oars, and the hum of the flourishing village at the confluence of the rivers. Other Huguenot emigrants established themselves on the south bank of the Santee, in a region which has since been celebrated for affluence and refined hospitality. The United States are full of monuments of the emigrations from France. When the struggle for independence arrived, the son of Judith Manigault intrusted the vast fortune he had acquired to the service of the country that had adopted his mother; the hall in Boston, where the eloquence of New England rocked the infant spirit of independence, was the gift of the son of a Huguenot; when the treaty of Paris f

comfortable fortunes, according to the standards at that time. The first vessels built were brigs and schooners. The first ship was the Rassellas, built in 1820. The same year they built the steam-boat, a stern wheeler, Governor Pinckney for———Sullivan, of Boston. By the name of the boat and the surname of the owner, (no other name is given in Brooks' History) we infer that it was the invention of John L. Sullivan, of Middlesex canal fame, and was put in commission on the Santee River, in South Carolina. The only other steam vessel was built in 1841 and was modelled much like the ferry boats of today. This one was used by the Eastern Railroad to transport passengers from its terminal at East Boston to the city proper. Her name was the East Boston. From 1822, the size of the vessels built increased. The Lurilla built in that year was of 369 tons burden and the largest was the Soldan built in 1841. The firm retired from business before the building of clipper ships, but<

e, Richard Clough Anderson, I derived many incidents of his eventful life. Among them, in one action, 13 balls from the enemies' guns passed through his clothes. In another action, a ball struck his watch, in his pocket, knocked off the case and glanced; and in another action, a ball struck a parcel of letters in his pocket, passed through the papers, and being spent, fell in his pocket. My memory does not enable me to say where the battles were fought. I think it was at, or near, the Santee river; but it has been so long since the conversation with my uncle, I cannot recollect the place, but the circumstance is strongly impressed on my memory. In the action the militia fled, leaving my father and his company on the field, who became surrounded by the enemy, who had just brought on the field a cannon that was preparing to fire on them. The Captain gave orders to charge bayonets, and to take the cannon. A rapid charge was made; and when within a short distance from the mouth of t

We were detained one and a half hears after the United States officers had ascertained the legality of our papers. We also copy the following interesting items from the same letter: The steamer Wm. Seabrook arrived here yesterday from Santee river, bringing us the glad tidings that the Confederates achieved glorious victories at Williamsburg and Huntsville, but we regretted much to hear of the loss of the Virginia. Nassau is quite a busy place now. The feeling in England is entirely in favor of the South, and on the Continent also popular opinions have greatly changed — almost everybody sees the folly of the attempt to force the South back into the Union.

Operations near Charleston. Charleston, June 22. --A fleet of Yankee gunboats, yesterday, crossed the bar, and shelled Morris Island beach for a considerable distance towards Fort Sumter. They then returned to the blockading fleet. Thirty Yankees ascended the Santee river, Friday, and cut out a small schooner, loaded with cotton, and a steam tug.
