From the following documents it will be
seen that the hope Of peace, which had be-
gun to thrill and animate almost every
heart in the land, is gone, and that this ter
rible and destructive war is to 60 on for I'm
indefinite period. God help the suffering
people, for there is neitheE-help nor pity
in man.
Our voice is still for peace, niggers or
no niggers. Orr skirts shall be clear of
all responsibility for the continuance of
this war.
We are aware that our advocacy of peace
is bringing down upon us the anathemas
of the war men, hut their censure does not
make a single nerve culver. We are of
that obstinate class who think the aohSte
people of this country have some rights and
deserve some consideration, as we'll as the
negroes. And if the country is to be des-
olated, and the white race annihilated, in
the. effort to maintain the institution of
slavery, the war men are welcome to all
the glory, and may incur all the respon-
sibility. We wash our hands ofit.-Ashe-
viWe Neaos.

This town was crowded before the cn-
envy advanced on Columbia, and conse-
quentiy it was impossible to accommodate
many refugees from that direction. Fe-
males are deserving the sympathy Of all ;
but the males (heartylooking men) who
are seeking places of safety for their bod
les, instead of helping to check the adj
vance of Sherman, deserve nothing but
contempt. Under the present circumstan-
ces, every man ought either to stand by
his own home or march out against the
enemy, instead of fleeing into crowded
sections.
We repeat our suggestion of last week,
that it would be better for non-combatants,
women and children, to remain at their
own homes as long as the enemy will per-
nit them to do so. 1t is next to impossi-
BILE to find shelter away from home now.
Should the enemy advance on this place,
we think our citizens will find that it is
better to remain at their own homes than
to flee to other places.-CharLOtte DemO-

GEN. BEAUREGARD's OPNIoN-General
Beauregard, in private conversation, says
that one of the main causes, of the defeat
of our army at Nashville was the aoa1ot of
bayo',ets. The bayonet is something on
Which soldier can rely with confidence,
and which in turn infuses confidence in
the soldier.
The General has stated {" that it was i'm
possible to have an efficient army-one
with which anything could be done--un-
less the troops are we'll clothed, well shod
and well fed"
Many years of service-brilfant and
fraught with honors-have taught this dis
tinguished officer what are the causes
which give morale to an army.

Robin Adair

Immediately after his marriage with
Lady Caroline, Adair, he was appointed in
spector general of military hospitals, and
subsequently, becoming a favorite of
George III, he was made surgeon of CheI-
sea hospital. Very fortunate men have
seldom many friends, but Adair, by de-
clining baronetcy that was offered to him
by the king for surgical attendance on
the Duke of Gloucester, actually acquired
considerable popularity before his death,
which took place when he was nearly four
score years of age, in 1893. In the "Gen-
tleman's Magazine" of that year there are
verses Con the death of Robert Adair,
ESQ.,, late Surgeon General, by J. Crane,
M. d." who, it is hoped, was much bet
ter physician than poet.
Lady Caroline Adair's married life was
short but happy. She died of eonsump-
ton, after giving birth to three children,
one of them son. On her death bed she
requested Adair tn wear mourning for her
as long as he lived, which he scrupulousiy
did, save on the King and Queens birth
days, when his duty to his sovereign re-
quired him to appear at Court in full
dress. If this injunction respecting mourn
ing was to prevent Adair marrying again,
it had the desired effect; he did not marry
a second time, though he had many offers.

ROBIN ADAIR.

Robert Adair, the hero of the>song, was
we'll known in the London fashionable clr-
Giles of the last century by the SOu6raQHet
of the Fortunate Irishman;" but his
parentage anfthe exact place of his birth
are unkaeWtSS ue-w -brnnght mp as q
surgeon, but "his indiscretion in an early
amour, drove him precipitately from Dub
lin, to push his fortunes in England
Scarcely had he crossed the Channel
when the chain of lucky events that uItl-
lnately led him to fame and fortune com
menced.
Near Holyhead, perceiving carriage
overturned, he rendered assistance. The
sole occupant of this vehicle was a I" lady
of fashion we'll known in polite circles"
who received Adair's attentions with
thanks; and, being slightly hurt, and hear
ing that he was surgeon, requested INN
to travel with her in her carriage TO Lon
don. On their arrival in the metropolis
she presented him with fee of one hun
dred guineas, and gave him a general III
vitation to her house. In after life, Adair
used to say that it was not so much the
amount of this fee, but the time it was
given, that was of service to him, as he
was then almost destitute. But the invi-
tation to her house was still greater SER
vice, for there he met the person who de-
cided his fate in life. This was Lady
Caroline Keppel, daughter of the second
Earl of Albemare, and of Lady Anne
I.enox, daughter of the Duke of Rich
lnond Forgetting her high lineage, Lady
Caroline, at the first sight of the Irish
surgeon, fell desperately in love with him
and her emotion was 50 sudden and so
violent as to attract the attention of the
company.
Adair, perceiving his advantage, lost
no time in pursuing it; while the Abe:
marie and Richmond families were dis
mayed at the prospect of such a terrible
lnesalliance. Every means were tried to
induce the young lady to alter her mind,
bnt without effect Adair's biographer
tells us that amusements, long journey,
an advantageous offer, and another COM
mon mode of shaking off what was consid
cred by the family as an improper match,
were already tried, but in vain the health
of Lady Caroline was evidently impaired,
.snd tie family at last confessed, with d
good sense .hat reflects honor on their IN
derstanG, ug, as we'll as their hearts, thai
it was 'sslble to prevent, but never to
dissolve ii attachment; and that marriage
was the honorable, and indeed, the only
alternative, that could secure her happiness
and life"
When Lady Caroline was taken by her
friends from London to Bath, that she
might be separated from her lover, she
wrote, it is said, the song Of "Robert
Affair."" and set it to plaintive Irish tune
that she had heard him sing. Whether
written by Lady Caroline or not, the song
is simply expressive of her feelings at the
time, and as it completely eorroborates the
circumstances just related, which were the
town talk of the period, though now little
more than family tradition, there can be
no doubt that they were the origin of the
song, the words of which, as originally
written, arc the following:
