qucncc Of run of Of the freight car, we were de-
tained about two hours and Il half, and did not

Thos. Beggs, Of Tayior Division No. s, was my
ira, cling companion from Columbia, and fine
one he is too. You are not ignorant Of the hon
ortbla position assigned him by the lamentcd

was formed and headed by Band of music we
marched to u beautiful grove near the "Nalker
House. where seats were prepared for the fair
ores ard where Il most eloquent and impressive
address was delivered by Bro. Jas. Tupper: we
then returned TO the Hall and the Grand Divi
sion resumed business.
In the evening, the Grand Division, in com
panv with Spartan Division No. Is, and the
Section of Cadets, marched to the Baptist Church,
where the Cadets were addressed by Judge
O'Nca Iou have often heard the Judge talk,
and therefore will not venture description

Pledge were obtained, and the meeting dismissed
with PRAYER by the Rev. DR.. Johnson, .fEdgc-
field, an old soldier Of Christ, whose hoary locks
and gentle Lraring, commands the vcneraton
and esteem OF all who meet him.
would like to give You detailed de$cri
ton of Spartanburg, but it would take more time
than | can spare, is leave after dinner for Glenn
Springs, where shall remain Tonight aud re-
turn to Belmont tomorrow, lay over Sunday,
and reach home on Tuesday.
The Grand Division, alter very harmonious
Session finished its deliberations this morning be-
tween and 10 O'Clock.
In the course OF my letter | alluded to Jan
ncy; must before close say something OF
TnoMpsoS, the proprietor Of the Palmetto
House" here, and can only give you definite
idea of him, by comparing him to Janney. Ills
House is not yet finished, though he is prepared
to enicria;n those that he does "take In; and
the general impression is that when his house is
complete, it will be one Of the best Hotels IN the
up country therefore would say to all who
Wit Spartanburc c. II. for business or leasurc,
to rive Thompson trial.
The roads from Newberrv to this place are
generally bad, being billy and broken, and the
only rcIicfto the eye Of the traveller is to look at
the beautiful fields and the crops. The corn
crops, am happy to say, promises to be very
abundant this year. The cotton prospects are
gloomy, iudging from what have seen on my
way here. But have written more than in
tended, and must say ou reuoir.
Yours truly. D
