Yellow Fever in Charleston.

We are painca TO notice by the last pub
llshcd returns that this dreadful scourge is
still on the increase in Charleston. For the
week ending the 18th inst, the total num-
ber Of deaths were one hundred and seven
ty one, of which one hundred and twenty
eight were from yellow fever.
Onr afflicted Metropolis is in need of ma.
terial aid tc supply the sick with the neccs-
sary comforts and assistance. The Howard
Association of Charleston appeals for means
to carry on its work of philanthropy, and
this appeal we are glad to see, mas not been
made in vain. Meetings have been called
in Columbia. Camden and other places over
the State, the object being to raise relief
for the suffering in Charleston, and contri.
buttons have been taken up in various
Churches for the same worthy Durpose.--
This affective visitation should awaken the
deepest sympathy in every heart, especially
among those who are blessed with health
and are beyond the reach Of the dreadful
malady. Any in this section, disposed to
aid in the work of Christian philanthropy,
can address Treasurer Of the Howard AS
sOciation, Charl sston; or if preferred, we
will undertake 10 forward their contribu
tiOns.
Since the publication Of the report allu.
dcd to above, the Charleston Courier has
given the following notice of the disease ::
"lt Is our grateful privilege to recOrd-
and we noto the fact as an additional in.
centive, if needed, TO the duties of this
day-that since the opening Of the present
week there has been n marked decrease in
the number of new cases. For the past
week, the applications to the Howa.d A.
sociation for nurses, &c, &c, were not
less than twenty each day, or average d
nearly twenty for each day. For the pres.
ent y eek, the average so far ,bas scarcely
reached the half that amount, and one day
we find the Eeport of applications reduced
10 eight cases.
"a marked change in the condition of
the atmosphere, hygrometric ally, has been
observed as concurrent with this change,
which, with the change in Temperature may
be one of the means, under Providence, for
the rebuking of the pestilence and the re.
storation Of our usual measure OF health"

CATECHTsM OF UNITED STATES IIIsToRY.
We have been favored by Mr.. b. X. Car
rol of Charleston with book styled n
'catcchism OF United States History pre-
pared by himself 1t embraces the chief
events IN the history OF our country from
its earliest infancy down to the present time
The eat, chcticaI method has been adopted,
says the author, because long experience in
teaching has convinced him, that in such n
form the greatest amount Of matter can be
embraced in the smallest space. 1t is ex.
cecdingly convenient as Il book of reference
and we think is well adapted for the use of
schools. The latter purpose seems TO have
been its principal design. 1t does not pro-
pose TO exclude the us. of the school his
tories now before the public, but may be
used in conjunction with them. 1t may be
had at NIessrs. S. q. Courtcnay g. Co., or

The Crew OF THE DoLPHIS.-On YES.
terday, five Of the crew Of the Dolphin,
witnesses against the slavers. and one Of
the slayers, was brought up from Char.
lesion and lodged in our jail. We learn
that Sheriff Dent has given the witnesses
six rooms on the lower fo,r, known as
the debtors' rooms. 1t is greatly to be
regretted that the Government deems it
necessary to resort to such stringent mea.
sures to secure the testimony Of these
men. II really appears hardship, that
men who have simply discharged their
duty should be subject to confinement
Wc have no doubt, however, that every
thing will be done to secure their com.
fort.
The Other sIavers will be brought up
on Saturday.-iSouh Carolinian.

For The Register,


Mr.. Editor.--In the sketch of the life
of Col. Hamramck in your last paper
there are some statements in reference 10
Coils. Swearingen and Blacklord which
require correction.
Col. Swearingen was in the army Of
tie Revolution the years of its duration,
first as volunteer, and from 70 TO 'S3
in commission, as appears from cernti'
cate of Gen. Muhlenberg now before me,
dated February u, 1888. The highest
rank he attained was that of Captain. The
highest commission he received PERSONAL
ly was that of Captain Lieutenant, upon
this commission there is a memorandum
in his own hand writing, made some lime
after he received il, that Il understand my
commission as Captain was issued but was
not received" Upon the roll in the
war office lie ranks as Captain. The
grade of Capt. Lieutenant seems TO have
been peculiar to our Revolutionary SER
vice. Each Colonel commandani had
a company in his own Regiment. The
officer who commanded this company was
styled Capt. Lieutenant. The reason |
presume why he did not receive his COM
mission of Captain was that he was a
prisoner al The time il was issued. lie
commanded volunteer Regiment during
the Western expedition.
He was not in service during the war
of 1912. He was down in 1914 10 the
scene of operations, when the British
were in the country of tho Chesapeake
Bay, but was not in service.
Colonel Blackf ford was three years old
when the war of The Revolution common
ced, of course not old enough to partici'
pate. He however commanded Regl-
ment of Maryland Militia in 1914 when
the British made the various attacks and
demonstrations on the country bordering
on the Chesapeake.
