in few minutes was missed from the

December 2oth, 1860, was jubi-

joyous demonstrations, South Carroll

assembled, declared that the union be-

North America was dissolved, and
that the State of South Carolina had
resumed her position among the nations

The Assassination of Gen. Kleber in

10 waom 1t belonged or its history
This IS it:
On coming from Syria, after con-
queri,g the Turks at Aboukir, Buo-
;apar,e returned to France, where his
amb; ton, and the dangers menacing
his country, called him. But before
quitting the East, where he had CO.
vere3 h;nsel! with laurels, he wished
to assure the future prosperity CT his
Egyptian colony, by leaving it under
the government Of a man worthy of
his coutideuce.
He selected among all the generals
who had followed his adventures in
that land, all OF whom were men who
had performed brilliant services, one
whose name stands high among all the
Others, hIeber, the republican; we
mean an ardent and enthusiastic man,
= brave and talented general; Kleber,
svho was the idol Of the soldiers, and,
in fact, the only man who could make
them forget the absence OF the hero OF
Aicole and the Pyramids.
Scarcely, however, had this general
added the name of HeIopoli> to al!
these victories with which the East was
ringing. when he fell by the hand OF a
.anatlc.
Ga the Ilth Of June, after review
ing the Greek Legion in the Island OF
Bo2dah, he came to Cairo. to preside
over the preparations which Monsieur
protair. one OF the engineers who had
followed the army, WAS making N his
palace.
Both were expected to breakfast
with another general officer, which was
gwen to several of lis friends aud col
le e.eae< II was quite Il fete Of rrjo-
eng. aud General keber was uuusu
ally gay, for all had succeeded since he
had been lef, in command. The Turks
had been beaten as completely at He
liopolis as at Mount Thabor and Abou~
kir. The second revolt at Cairo had
been put down, aud everything seemed
70 predict that for the future the town
would be quiet.
There was not far more than five
minutes walk from the generals,
where they had breakfas,ed, to Gen.
kleocr's, aud to arrive there it was
necessary to pass by terrace, shelter
ed by immense vines, overlooking the
Place el Bekieh.
The general and the architect were
walking slowly, and the latter stopped
from time to time to trace something
on the sand with cane he held in his
hand
Sudlenly man, clad in Eastern
costume, appeared at a short distance
from th4 other two, bowed to General
k!eber, and crossing his arms over his
breast, salu.ed after the fashion of tie
East. He then raised his hand and
Kissed it. kleber was accustomed to
these demonstrations; the Arabs who
visited him to demand justice always
acted thus, SO he waited for the young
man to explain what he wanted. Sud-
deuly, wit! the quickness Of lightning,
t.!e stranger drew a curved poi nard
rom his belt, ani barred it up t. the
iil. in Kleber's left side.
The general uttered cry Of pain
a:'d surprise, as he stepped bach ward,
I'D then he leaned against the baas-
trade, calling aloud to soldier who

PERsoSAL.-The Argus having minated
fraud, by ourself, among others, in the returns
for income Of 1868, we requested the assessor
to 90 to the bank where our account is kept
and examine for himself and also to send to
his predecessor for the original return made
by us. This has been done, and if the editor
of the Argus is still curious about il, he can
ask the assessor. In the mean time W. say to
those who can take our word, thst,so far from
any fraud appearing, the assessor took our
original return as the basis of his ASSESS
ment. The saying that "a new broom
sweeps clean" is verified in Mr.. Brown. He
questions closely and on his new appear
ance in this field that is perhaps the best way
to get acquainted with the people and their
business and way Of life At any rate, he
must be the judge Of his duty, and do it in
the way be thinks best. We have no COM
plant in our own case, but confess rather
that we were both amused and instructed in
structed in some things as to the execution
of the law, and amused by the result. The IN
come tax on salary and mileage received BY
us in 1868 to March Attn, was Of cou Sc paid
in Washington, the tax being deducted at the
time the salary was paid. The same amount.
too, goes in here for the special war tax. -
/ Beyond that, the assessor makes out agsinst
us a small income tax, and the amusing thing
about it is that it is not for what we have
got, but what we spentin ls63-pretty large
ly in fact, Of contributions for religious char
table snd patriotic purposes. For instances,
we taxed ourself for the minister, and for the
Bible Society, two items we happen to re-
mem Der, and Uncle Sam adds double bless
ing to these and all other good ways Of spend
ing money, by taxing the money thus spent.
This results from the fact that voluntary con-
trbutions are not to be deducted like taxes
Imposed by law, from the income. Let no.
body be discouraged by this apparent tax or.
well doing but rather, when you give away
dollar for one good purpose, just remem-
ber that YOU are doing wo good deeds.

A convention of the Adiutsnt Generals Of
the loysl States convened in the State House
at Columbus, Ohio, on the 18th ult., and
continued in session. with closed doors
throughout, until the evening Of the 10Th
inst, when an adjournment was had to Bos-
ton, Mass, on the 10th Of July Of the cur
rent year.
There we're present Adiutant Generals n.
B, Baker Of Iowa, IAN Ex-Governor Of New
Hampshire who originally suggested the
gathering Schouler Of Massachusetts,, Nor
ran Of Rhode Island, Gaylord Of Wiscon-
sin, Cowan Of Ohio, Lindsley Of Kentucky,
Russell Of Pennsylvania, Morse of Connec-
ticut, Washbun Of Vermont and Head Of
New Hampshife. The Adiutant Generals Of
several Of the States, though understood 20
cordially concur in the objects Of the con-
venuon, were unavoidsby absent.
"The convention had COT It's object the com
pairing Of notes as to the best mode to be
uniformly adopted by the States Of raising
troops to avoid the draft and the molestations
incident thereto caused by the bounty jump
ere, and the illegal greediness Of the pesti-
lent horde of iecruitng agents throughout
the country, and thus to secure the results Of
wiser plan Of recruiting.
Another point brought before the conven-
ton. and thoroughly discussed, had refer
ence to the adoption Of recommendation that
returns should, by law, be made by surgeons
in command Of hospitals, mastering out Off
GERS and officers in command OF camps OF rem
devious, to the Adjutaut Generals o. the sew
eral States, IN like manner as now made TO
the Adjutant Generals aud Surgeon Generals
Departments in Washington. The object Of
this is to enable each State to keep perfect
record of the officers and men at all times, as
we'll those mustered out as those mustered in.
An additional object Of the convention was
to confer IN relation to the more solid organ
izatiun of the militia forces Of the States by
laws Of Slater, or by some general law at the
instance of the Congress sf the United States.
Considerable discussion arose on the subject
enrollmsnts, tue general system Of filing
up regiments, and the manner Of paying
bounties in States TO the end that recruits
may realize the full need and value of his
bounty, rather than the class of grasping a.
gents already referred to.
The general objeot of the gathering may
be comprehensively stated to have been the
rendering uniform Of the military system
throughout the 10y States.
Should Congress enact a law at this session
to perfect the organization Of the militia Of
sion at the Boston meeting of the Adjutan
Generals in July, will be pretermitted.
A full digest OF the proceedings of the
c~nvenIion has been transmitted to the Sec
retary OF War"

SAINT MARTIN AND THE BEoGAR


HOLY Saint Mattn once at Amiens' gate,
Passing that way where went both low and great,
Saw there, sshivor with the winters cold,
A poor haf.naked wretch Silver or gold
The Saint had none his kindly beaming eyes,
Mid As the light Of stars within the skies,
FILLED with the rising pity in his breast,
Where dwelt all charities that make men biest,
Atsight Of one, soul so desolAte
Houseess and friendless by the eity's gate,
And taking frO0 bis back the coat he wore,
Into two parts the garment then he tore,
And with blessing which all lips may say,
Gave 70 him there the half and went his way.
Next night upon some deed Of mercy bent,
BY that same gate the good ST. Martin went,
Aud saw within ita shadow standing there
man Of thoughtful mion and presence fair,
Around whom shone mildly radiant light
None like TO it had ever hlest his sight
And in its sheen the eiiy's frowning gate
seemed heavens own portal where good angels wait
And 10 the Saints meek eyes, with wonder wide
The palms Of Pa'adisa uprose each side
And 10 the mau was Chri.t speechless, amazed,
spell bound with wouderment. ST. Martin gazed,
Aud saw the ragged garment he had given
Worn on the shoulders II the Lord Of Heaven
