enTnIEPs, ASSOCIATION.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t has been running in my head
for sometime that the soldiers of the late Confed
crate States in Anderson District, should form
themselves into Soldiers Association. We merely
make the suggestion, for the propriety of it is so
obvious that it surely needs no argument to en-
force it. At the close of tho Revolution, of the
war of 1912, and of the war with Mexico, the Off
GERS and soldiers engaged in each of them, formed
similar associations, and met at least, once in
year. The social feeling, the brotherly kindness,
and warm friendships, kept alive by these meet
ings, were highly honorable to the head and heart.
Surely it would be pleasant for the SCARED vet
erans of Lee, Johnston, Beauregard, Bragg, Hill,
Longstreet, Jackson and Hampton, to meet each
other once year, and keep alive the trials and
friendships Of the eventful past. Before death
commences its work among us, let us oil meet and
enroll our names, so that each one can be annually
accounted for. We suggest a meeting for Satur-
day, the 18th day of August, prozimo, at which
time every one will be invited to be present and en-
roll his name, who was at any time connected with
the armies of the Confederate States.

HON. J. P. REED.

Our cntcrprising and public-sprited felow-citi
zen returned to this place on Friday last after an
absence of two weeks on n mission to Cincinnati
road The result of this visit of an able delega-
tion to those cities is every way satisfactory and
Mr.. REED expresses the utmost confidence IN the
completion of this magnificent project. The capt.
taitaliss of Cincinnati and Louisville are aroused
to the Importance of the proposed railroad con-
nection with the South Atlantic coast, and they
are determined to invest their means and energies
where they will be recompensed so largely.
On Tuesday evening, by invitation of the Town
Council, Mr.. REED addressed large audience of
ladies and gentlemen in the Court House, giving
in detail the result of his mission He expressly
declared the belief that the Bluo Ridge Road would
be built, and spoke in cheering terms of the inter-
est that had been recently awakened on the sub
ject in the Western cities He then alluded to the
prospects of the Air Line connection with Atlanta,
Geo., from this place, and gave gratifying &C.
count of the measures being inaugurated to insure
its success Then the audience was regaled with
vivid descriptions of scenery, cities and people, in
a sort of lecture on the CUSTOMS fashions and ap-
pearance of things generally in the North and
Northwest Altogether the speech of MIR. REED
was nsuitum in paruo, and his auditory was doubt
less satisfied that he left no measure untried to ad
vance the interests of this section, and neither
neglected the opportunity of closely scrutinizing
everything within the sphere of his observation.

THE BELToN ACADEMY.

Mn. EDITOR: This year the Academy at Bolton
is under the care of Capt. George R. Dean, late of
the State Military Academy, assisted by Mrs. DR..
Samuel Brown, and the number of pupils, male
and female, is large. On the 2Sth of June, they
gave public examination and exhibition, which
was highly credable TO the scholars, and testified
to the scholarship and unremiting care OF Captain
Dean and his assistant. The scholars in the pri-
mary department were examined then the young
ladies and gentlemen in Geography, Arithmetic,
ENGLISH Grammar and Analysis. For want OF time
they could not be examined on other and higher
branches A class of young ladies in French stood
nm admirable examination. The reading of COM
positions concluded the exercises IN the forenoon.

In the afternoon, the large and intelligent crowd

evidence of very thorough training, and acquitted
themselves handsomely. At the conclusion Of the

MEssRs. SHOWERS AND KEYS.

In the United States District Court, at Charles
ton, on Friday last, the writ of aa6eas corpus
granted in the case of the above named gentlemen
was returned with an endorsement from General
SIcLKEs, refusing to obey the writ. The Court,
after hearing the arguments of counsel, ordered
that an attachment be issued against SIcKLEs for
contempt. Pending the result of this action, the
telegraph has informed US that President JOHNSON
will instruct Gen. S. to obey the injunction of the
Court, and deliver up the prisoners. This crafty
ing intelligence reached here on Tuesday night,
and we have no doubt that another week will place
these gentlemen at liberty. Their long conine-
ment will eventuate, if they released by the
Court, in the vindicaton of the supremacy of civil
over military rule, and finally settle the principles
which are to govern the future of the South. In
this view of the case, our friends are suffering
penancc for their section and in them is centered
the personal liberty of every man, woman and
child of the States lately in revolt.

THE NATIONAL UNION CONVENTION.

Upon our first page this morning will be found
an address to the citizens of this State from Gov.
ORR, as Vice President of the National Union Clul,
urging the representation of South Carolina in the
approaching National Convention, to be held in
Philadelphia on the 18th proximo; and elsewhere
is published call, signed by number of citizens,
for public meeting of the citizens of this District
to take the initiatory steps towards securing that
representation as aforesaid. The meeting here
will appoint delegates to State Convention, which
is to select delegates for the Philadelphia Conven
ton. This is simple and easily understood.
The objects of the National Convention are, first,
the organization of national party opposed 10
the extreme measures of the Radical majority in
Congress, and secondly, to render the President
O united support in favor Of his reconstruction
policy These objects are worthy of the highest
consideration by people whose political condition
is anomalous and undcfned, and the masses of the
South quite ready, while not desiring to engage
very deeply in political agitation and strife, to
evince proper regard fer such as may be disposed
to assist them from the miry depths into which the
Radical party would plunge them. We do not be-
lieye it either duty policy for the South to ac
lively enter the political arena at this time; many
of her theories and doctrines are submerged be-
meath oceans of blood shed in their defcnce and
with caution and timidity should the future be en-
tered upon But while these are our individual
views, at the same time there can be no objection
to the sending of dclegates-discreet, prudent and
wise men-to cooperate with party based upon
the equality of the States and the Constitutional
right of the South to representation in Congress
These are objects in the pursuit of which there
can be no compromise for in their success is COM
prised the only hopes of q dOwn-trodden and op-
pressed people.
Therefore, if the representation of oil the States
;s desirable to effect the establishment of these
two propositions, and the minority of the North
who uphold these views can be strengthened by
this action on our part we can see no good reason
for Withholding the influence of the South from
that direction. But we insist that the men chosen
to represent the State shall combine the elements
of integrity, discretion and wisdom-none of those
who might thwart the purposes Of the Convention
by ill-timed reference to the past or evince On
itching for participation in political strife and
contest. In short, representative men Of the
opinions of the Southern people at this time are
the only proper selections for the occasion

HONOR WELL CONFERRED.

Wo are gratified to learn that our friend, Capt.
Robert Junkin, has been suitably rewarded by the
people of Anderson District for past faithful and
gallant services. Hs has been elected Ordinary of
the District.
At the Second Battle of Manassas he was the
color-bearer of the Rifles and in the waverings of
fortune of that long, eventful, hard-fOught day,
when for the moment the tide was setting steadily
against us, he rushed forward, and, planting the
colors in advance of the line cried out high above
the din and confusion of battle, "Rally to the
colors, men, and avenge the death of your Colonel"
The time, the place, the circumstance the senti-
ment the deep love which he bore for his Colonel,
whom he had followed through the Mexican war,
and up to this battle in our own revolution, with
that blind devotion and unquestioning fidelity
which mark the true soldier, gave to this short,
sententieus utterance more of true eloquence than
we ever heard from the lips of the most gifted
orator.
Well done, people Of Anderson! You have by
this election honored yourselves more than you
have hcnored your Ordinary.

YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
Dear Intelhysncsr: Permit me through your col
umns to suggest to the young male members Of the
Church. of each Denomination in this place, the
Importance of forming Christian Association, for
the improvement in religious knowledge, 60
These organizations, we believe, were very numer-
Gus in the South before our recent troubles. And
why not revive them up now? Let our young
Church members set On example and by those out
side, "secing their good works." who are dabbling
in intemperance and vice of every kind, will turn
from their ways of oblivion, and snatch the burning
brand of right and truth. There must be an eI-
ample set by our youth to save youth from vice,
immortality and crime. We know our recent trials
in our country's cause have had demorallzing
fleet upon them, as natural consequence, which
has become deep-seated. And now, young Chris
tians by your unity in this matter, and steadfast-
ness on your part, possessing the Christian faith
you will be enabled to uproot this Generalization,
and those dear ones who are in the path to dcstruc-
tion, will see your light shining, which had been
under the bushel so long, and exclain-Eurska
Eureka / Eureka! /!
There is nothing that will improve the mind
more than religious training. 1t strengthens the
bonds of brotherly love, nculcates virtue sobriety
and modesty; and moro than all, wisdom, which,
to see in q young man, is more to be priced than
all worldly honors.
We urge that this matter go into effect at an
early day-appoint time TO meet, organize, etc.

of broomstraw, signing in the winds of winter !;

was brave, true heart which thus unfolded itself
before me; and under this modest exterior were
the finest traits of the gentleman. As the old

INTERESTING SKETCH OF A BRAVE SOLDIER.

The recent sanguinary conflict developed many
brave and chivalruus characters, and was inter
spersed with numerous incidents both romantic
and exciting. In volume recently published, on
titled 'ssurry of Eagles Nest" by JOHN EsTEN
COOK, of Virginia, many of these incidents are
embodied and embellished by the accomplished au-
thor's pen From this volume we make the follow
ing extracts, illustrating the person and life OF an
old friend and companion of our boyish days. The
heroic spirit and dashing exploits of Capt. WILLIE
FARLEY, of Laurens District, are well remembered
by the veteran legions of the Virginia Army, and
his memory is embalmed in sacred inches of their
hearts 1t is with pleasure that this sketch Of his
person and tribute to his gallantry is reproduced
in these columns:
