ANOTHER SHOWER OF FLESH AND
BLOOD.

MI. EDITOR ! suppose it will be remember.
ed by some newspaper readers, that in the year
ls4l, accounts were published, Of two showers
of flesh and blood one in Tennessee, and the
other in Massachusetts,. am now about to re.
late a similar circumstance, which lately OCCUR
red in our own State. Mr.. VIM M. Inflow, a
gentleman Of undoubted veracity, related it to
me, as follows: On Saturday last, whilst he
and his two sons were picking cotton on his
plantation. Tin Laurens District, near Enoree
river, and about two miles below Musgrove's
Mill the younger son called to the others !:
who were a little distance from him, to listen,
for he heard something falling near him. They
thought he was mistaken, and paid but little at.
tention to it but he insisted, and told them if
they would come, he would show it to them on
the ground. They went and found the ground
strewed with what appeared to them to be pie
ces OF meat, varying from the size of an ounce
ball to larger than a hens egg. These pieces
were very moist, and as red a. blood or any
thing else could make them; and the grass,
cotton, or whatever they came in contact with,
was stained as with blood. They were scatter.
ed several feet apart, over a space Of ground
some twenty or thirty yards in width ; and they
examined it for something like 80 yards in
length, but did not 60 to the end Of it.
was informed Of it yesterday, and went in
company with two gentlemen, to visit the place
in person. We were so lucky - to find some
Of the article still remaining. and all agreed that
it had the appearance Of flesh, of the finest
mould, much finer than we had ever seen be-
fore. Some of the pieces seemed to be entirely
fat, but most Of it lean, very red, and somewhat
transparent, when held up toward the light
but it was considerably dried when / saw it,
having lain "a hours.
The young WIN. Inflow, a very intelligent and
credible youth Of IA, says he first heard a few
scattering pieces fall, and looking up saw the
air darkned with them; and that it looked
something like snow falling slowly, when the
fakes are far apart but that the pieces fell
more rapidly. The shower fell about the mid.
die Of the day, while the sun was shining, and a
few light clouds were in the atmosphere but
nothing visible could be assigned as the cause
for the phenomenon.
Various opinions and conjectures exist here
about the matter. Some consider it a natural
occurrence, while others view it as a sign from
heaven. For my w part, | am not a Millerite
or a '43 man, as they are sometimes called, and
therefore cannot persuade myself 10 believe it
is sent as a sign that the world will be burned
up this year and | have beard no natural cause
assigned for it that appears at all reasonable
So, having stated the circumstance as they ex-
list, | leave each one TO form his own ~calcula-
tons,

the other in the fourth district. FREEMAN II.

from the fourth District, is a working ship car

wonder at a letter that appeared in the Globe Of
the 18Th "without one word Of editoria! com.
men,;' stating what we thought every bodyknew,
that Martin Van Buren, stood no chance for the
Presidency. This correspondent Of the Globe is
IN some things a very sensible man. He says
Until recently I was in favor Of Mr., Van Blu.
rem being again taken up for the Presidency
forming my opinion principally from the tone OF
the Republican newspapers, and those who con.
slider themselves leading politicians. But, of
late, have mixed a great deal among the Peo-
pie, and have taken pains to find out their opin-
ions about all the Presidential candidates, and
my information amounts to this that though
there are many who would be glad to run Mr..
Van Buren, again, because they think no was
badly treated in 1910, yet the current Of opinion
seems to be gathering ground that he cannot be
elected by the People.
He says again:
"a strong effort was made in 1910 to elect him
for a second term, but utterly failed. Now, il
he is run again, it will be the third heat, and
people are not apt to run risks on a horse tina,
has been distanced."
We differ with him in the belief that any BODY
else will run better-but it was not for this we
quoted him. 1t was to show the growing con.
seriousness Of the Loco.Fnco party that its hour
has come. The article in the last Democratic
Review entitled " The Issue at Stake" has the
same gloomy forebodings, confessins that its
party is in the deepest peril and entering the
contest under most disastrous omens.-Tribune
