ten directions to those around him how to proceed, and immediately betook himself to his bed— the fever already flushing his cheeks, and parching his veins. There was now, indeed, nothing but wailing and woe on board the little Florida. In two or three days Stribling returned from Havana, bringing with him twelve men; and on the day after his return, Dr. Barrett, of Georgia, hearing of their helpless condition, volunteered his services, and became surgeon of the ship. On the 22d, young Laurens, the captain's son—whilst his father was unconscious—breathed his last; black vomit having assailed him, in twenty-four hours after he had been taken down with the fever; so virulent had the disease now become. He was a fine, brave, promising lad, greatly beloved, and deeply regretted by all. On the 23d, the Third Assistant Engineer died. The sick were now sent to the hospital on shore, and nearly all of them died. Dr. Gilliard, surgeon of a Spanish gunboat in the harbor, now visited th<

y 2, 9, 16, 23, and March 2, 1865. Through much difficulty I succeeded in getting the papers on the ordnance train, the teamsters kindly taking a package of one thousand papers on each wagon after being heavily loaded with ammunition. Owing to the high water, and the bridges having been washed away on the Enoree, Tyger and Little Rivers, our route was rather circuitous,, and the bad condition of the roads rendered our progress slow. We came through the Districts of Edgefield, Newberry, Laurens, Spartanburg, Union, York and Chester, to Chesterville, South Carolina, by the wagon train, a distance of one hundred and fifty miles. Two weeks were consumed in the trip. At Chesterville we took the train for Raleigh, North Carolina. The Heralds now on hand have been brought two hundred miles by Government wagons free of charge. The first Sabbath in the month I spent in Milledgeville, Georgia, and preached for Brother George Yarbrough, who gave me the welcome of a brother. The seco

ed the board. After making their last return they went into secret session, decided that the elections in Edgefield and Laurens were void in consequence of the intimidation of voters in those counties. Certificates of election were withheld from trt, and the clerk was directed to give certificates under the seal of the court to the members elected for Edgefield and Laurens. But the Radical party have always found in the judiciary of the United States a judge who will be a convenient instrus the crime was consummated. In the Senate a full body appeared. Three new members appeared, two from Edgefield and Laurens, who, not being commissioned by the Secretary of State, were not allowed to sit, and one from Abbeville, who, having beeorganized. The next day the mock-house counted the votes for Governor, and by striking out the votes of Edgefield and Laurens made a majority for Chamberlain, and on the 7th he was inaugurated. It was a sad ceremony. The Hall of the House of Re

doing a very heavy business ever since the commencement of the war. Although we have furnished more than our quota of troops, the war spirit has by no means abated, and recruiting still continues very satisfactorily. The Ragland Guards, Capt. Manney, have nearly gotten their full complement of men, and will in a few days start for the seat of war. This company is finally drilled and equipped, and under its able officers will elicit admiration wherever it may go. The Cockade Cadets, Capt. Laurens, are at present encamped upon the Heights, uniforming and drilling. Its officers are men of military knowledge, especially the commandant, who served with distinction in the Mexican war. I understand there is another company being raised here, but with what success I have not heard. The railroad connection has been completed, and yesterday the first train, bearing cannon, passed over the road. The advantage of this connection will be felt in the rapid transportation of troops, sto

Extracts from Irving's "Life of Washington." A correspondent, signing himself a "South Carolinian," sends us the following for publication. They are so remarkably appropriate to the present condition of things that they will not be found uninteresting and certainly not inapplicable: Letter to Mr. Laurens. "I cannot sufficiently express the obligation to you for your friendship and politeness upon an occasion in which I am so deeply interested. I was not unapprised that a malignant faction had been for some time forming to my prejudice, which, conscious as I am of having ever done all in my power to answer the important purposes of the trust reposed in me, could not but give me some pain on a personal account; but my chief concern arises from an apprehension of the dangerous consequences which intestine dissentions may produce to the common cause. "My enemies take an ungenerous advantage of me. They know the delicacy of my situation, and that motives of policy depr
