The Destruction Of William and Mary
College.

The news Of the destruction by fire Of
this ancient college, will carry pang Of
sorrow to many heart in Virginia. II
was consumed on Tuesday, the 9th of Feb
ruary, 167 years after the grant of its char
ter, with al! its fine library, consisting of
about four thousand volumes. This is the
most serious loss, as we suppose some of
the volumes cannot be replaced at all, but
if the calamity induces the Board to remove
the College to some more fitting place, We
think on the whole, it will be rather gain
than loss.

iii the Buckley Circus had crossed the Savan-
nah at Augusta and were safe from the claws
of our officers. What next? There was no
recourse but to grin and endure the imposi-

instrumental in the pursuit, found himself
frustrated and cheated. Yet he resolved not
to leave the vicinity OF his rccusant custom
ers at once. He waited on the Hamburg
side day or two, pondering the circumvcn-

Battalion Muster.

We had the pleasure of attending the Bat
TALON Muster at Bachelors Retreat Muster
Ground on Saturday last. We will not speak
of the incidents of the way-sde-thc conduct
of man or brute. We were upon the field by
lOo'clock, exchanged salutations with friends:
the good old farmer, the gay. the gallant and
the e toir." Though rather avcrsc to the at
tendance ofladics upon occasions of this kind
more perhaps through sympathy than princi
pie, yet it is indeed encouraging to the citizen
soldier to be greeted by Madam and Made
moiselle. The Adjutant, w. n. CRAIG who,
by the way makes Il fine appearance upon
the field, and discharges the duties Of his cf
flee well, with admirable promptness and
dispatch arranged and formed the companies
into line, and yielded his command to Mai
BRYCE the commander of this Battalion
The Major is a clever and gallant fellow, a
popular commander, and good officer.
After the parade, which was alike crcdita-
BILE to officer and private, Col. LEADRETTER
rode up and addressed the Battalion in
handsome style, ardcntly and eloqucntly adj
vocating the military system, illustrated it's
effects by recurrence to the different battle
fields In which South Cnrolinians have ALWAYS
borne noble part-and called upon every
soldier to stand by and defend that system
established by their ancestors for the protcc-
tion of their rights and liberties The Col.
is to be admired for his military pride and
spirit, and the interest he manifests for the
Regiment over whicli lie has command.
There is one custom to which VIC would
advert, that of discharging guns upon the
field while the people are assembling, it is
dangerousand should not be allowed. The
woods are thronged with people and horses,
and q fellow with ga brick in his hat" is
very apt to miss the target he shoots at.

Origin of the BayoDct.

The Emperor Napoleon ILL., SAID in his
proclamation The new rifle arms are
only dangerous at a distance: they will
not prevent the bayonet from being, as
heretofore, the terrible arm of the French
infantry The bayoaet is, in fact, Pc
cnlIarly French. 1t was invented 1t is
said, at Bayonne, in 1911, and employed
IN 1910 IN the regiment of the Kings
FusIlIers. 1t senslbly modified the sys-
tenn OF military art in Europe, as it made
cavalry less redoubtable to infantry, and
caused The lines of battle to cease 10 be
regarded as the principle means of ac-
uou. The bayonet has, in fact, become
the decisive arm of the combat
According 10 local tradition, il was
III "A small hamlet in the environs of Bay
onne that II was invented. What led to the
invention of 1t was, that in fierce COM
bat between some Basque peasants and
sore Spanish snugglers, the former hav-
ing exhausted their ammunition, and be-
ing thereby at disadvantage, fastened
their long knives 10 their muskets, and
by means of the weapon so formed put
their enemies TO route. This arm rapid
y came into general use in Europe
A ter the Kings regiment, several 9th
ers were provided with the bayonet, aud
the dragons received it in 1876. Ii
1918, at tiie time Of the peace of Mime
guen. all the French Crenaders had the
oayonet; but the socket, which makes
the use OF IL 50 easy, was not invented
until later period. An unsuccessful
experiment with the socket was made be-
fore Louis XIV, IN 16SS; but a want OF
uniformity IN the muskets was then an
obstacle 10 the adoption of This simple ami
efticacous piece OF mechanism. Blvo-
nets at that time were Il sort of dagger,
of which the handle was placed IN the
muzzle of the musliet, and, OF course,
prevented the musket from being fired
The first battle at which the bayonet
was seriously employed was that of Tu-
rln, IN 1892; but it was not I'LL the balle
of Spires, IN 1903, that the first charge
of the baYonet was executed. After that
period, up to 1892, the bayonet was Of
ten employed in combat, and the Prince
De LIgne called II - a peculiarly French
arm, owing 10 the manner in which our
| soldiers used it; but the real value of il
was not revealed until The war of nation
al independence. Then The bay0net re-
ally became French arm. The bay
onet is Wild" said Suwarof, =. but the
bayoDet is prudent and sure. ."-1L0aitclty.
