South Carolina is mourning, her
archives are emptied and her public
pigeon-holes pilfered by the red hand
of war. "The records of the State, "
we are told, care gone forever"
"Titles, deeds, wills, judgments, and
DEGREES have" it is added "disap-
peared." This is melancholy, we ad-
NIT (; but this is precisely what always
happens when any country is made

trooper, anxious to boil his pot, finds

ing receptacles of fuel nor can he be
expected to anticipate or to care much
for the protracted litigation which his
free appropriation Of precious papers
may occasion. War is waste of all
descriptions, and those who needlessly
and wantonly take the sword must
also take the consequences. However
delightful the dance, the piper always
brings in his bill at the end Of it. The
citizens of South Carolina have already
suffered much for their folly, and it is
probable that many consequent incon-
veniences await them still. The fact
may be painful, but it is none the less
palpable.
A mitigation of the evil arising from
this paper pillage will be found in the
fact that the Rebellion has created in
South Carolina a large number of en-
tirely new titles, which are not at all
dependent upon the old conveyances
The Government IL the grantor, and
nobody will be able successfully to
dispute its right to give, grant, sell
and convey. Records of the sale of
slaves are now of no Importance.
Wills, devising lard OF slaves have
lost much of their value. Actions
upon judgments and DEGREES are not
very c5mnion, and when the record is
shown 20 have been destroyed, courts
will let in the next best evidence.

The Election.

The electors of Iowa had most
lovely day on which to hold their an
nual election. The vote, however, in
this township was much smaller than
it should have been. Many who did
vote manifested much indifference,
while many others absented them
selves from the polls entirely. This
was owing in large degree to the
unpopularity of several Of the candi.
dates. We never knew ballots to be
SO badly scratched as they were in
this town on Tuesday. Those who as.
sumed to "run the machine " in this
county ought to feel the rebuke which
tho voters have given them, but il
may be that they are void of sensibili-
ty or feeling. Whether these conspi-
rators will be permitted in the future
to outrage the good sense Of the PEG.

General Schimmelpfennig.

4
melpfennig, died on the It'll of Sept,
1865, at Wernersville, near Reading,
(Berks county,, Pennsylvania, after a
long illness, contracted in part, it is
believed, by severe service in the ar.
my. His full and correct name was
Alexander Schimmelpfennig Won der
Dye. Belonging to an old aristocrat-
ic family in Prussia, he entered the ar
my of that country early, after having
received careful military education ;
but his liberal and democratic spirit
did not permit him to stay there.
In the revolution of l84S--49 he ST.
ded with the people, and took up arms
against this very army when it inva-
ded the Palatinate in l849. He was
compelled to leave his country, and
went, after some stay in Switzerland,
to London, where he commenced, in
common with number of his country
men, an active and earnest agitation
for the supremacy of the same liberal
ideas for which he had taken up arms
before. A short time was sufficient to
show him the fruitlessness of these ef-
forts at that time and in that place,
and he came to this country (lS53) to
find here a new home.
He first lived in Philadelphia, and
afterward in Washington, always
watching with keen eye the chances
of freedom, and ready to support it
where and when he could. The days
following the attack on Fort Sumter
found him ready and willing. Commu-
nication was then destroyed between
the National capital and the loyal
North. Alexander ScHimmelpfennig
set out on foot =. &c reach Pennsylvania,
where he intended to offer his military
services. The rebel Marylanders turn
ed him back, but, undaunted by the
bullets fired at him, he set ont Sec
ond time, and then, under the disguise
of surveyor, and having passed an
examination as such by some rebel Off
Ger, he actually reached Pennsylvania,
and commenced the formation of reg
iment. Sickness (small-pox) delayed
his plans for some months but soon
we find him on the field at the head of
the 74th Pennsylvania regiment, and
taking part in the campaign in West
Virginia under Fremont. He soon re-
ceived the command of brigade, and
did great service in the second Bull
Run battle. After the battle of Get
tysburg, Schimmelpfennig was at the
head of division to join our forces
before Charleston, S. c. and there, in
q more Independent position, he show
ed the intrepidity of true soldier. As
a reward be had the honor 20 enter
Charleston first but his health was
gone almost entirely, aid it was only
the indomitable spirit of duty and the
enthusiasm for t..,e cause that made
him stay wien it was almost physi.
cal .MpGssibility to do so. At last he
broke down entirely, and breathed his
last after having seen the Union re.
stored and freedom triumphant, not, as
he might justly think, without his
share in the action of the nation.
