CIVIL WAR.-Sims, in his history Of
South Carolina, paints picture which it
would be well for those contemplating a
violent disruption of the Union to look in
"No language can do justice to and visit
with proper execration the doings of that
dismal civil war which desolated the fields
of Carolina, and deluged her dwellings with
the tears and blood of her children The
lies Of nature, of society, of neig ghborhood
were torn apart and trampled. Friendship
and fellowship were sundersd with the
sword. Father and son stood with confront
ing weapons in opposite ranks, and BROTH
ers grappled in the gladiatorial embrace of
the savage, goaded to constant strife by the
shouts and rewards of the British conquer
or. Under their favoring countenance peo-
pie of the worst character emerged from
their hiding-places in the swamp; men of
all sorts Ct crime; thieves and murders
blood-painted and gallows-branded wretches,
who needed but the halloo Of the savage
huntsman to spring upon the track of the
unhappy fugitive. These drove ihe patri-
OTIS from their hiding places and country,
ravaged their possessions, burnt their child
rem, and converted the sweetest homes of
happiness into places of sorrow or the most
savage solitude. In the single district Of
Ninety-Six there were no less than four cen.
hundred widows and orphans made by this
savage warfare" -ss-z.

How a Man was Sold, and Bought his
~f Own Estate.

| We have heard capital story Of cur
friend, Samuel A. Walker, ESQ.,, the pop
ular auctioneer, which is worth printing
A physician Of this city bought u tract Of
land in oLe of our beautiful Villages upon
the water side, and in the course OF short
time put up handsome dwelling>house and
other buildings upon it. The land was
laid out into walks, and lawns, and mounds,
with fruit trees, vines, shrubbery, and
fountains and statuary-tastefully und
beautifully arranged; in short, the doctor
hal spared no expense to make it one of the
most splendid residences in the vicinity
But it was Of no benefit TO hlm-he got
tired and sick of his country residence, and
removed back to the city. After trying to
sell it by private sale for long time, and
not finding purchaser, he applied to Mr.
Walker TO have it disposed of at auction
Mr.. w. saw at a glance that it was just the
kind Of a place to sell, and at it he went
with his best foot foremost. The papers Of
the city teemed with advertisements describ
ing its s.beautiful localion"-shealthy

equally balanced'-in short, it was just
the place for any man who wanted
country residence. The advertisement
caught the doctors eye; he did not recog-
nize the place as his own, but 1t was the
one he wanted. He gave an agent orders
to attend the sale and buy the place when
ever 1t was sold, no matter at what pric e."
"But," said the agent, who had read the
description little more carefully, "doctor,
this is your own place that is to be sold."-
Ills it? WE'LL" replied the doctor, after
musirg a moment, "neyer mind about that;
you go and bid it off, for | can't let another
man have place that has SO many advan'
ages-strange never observed shat be-

whenever the doctor feels little homesick,
or inclined to sell out, his wife reads him
