DestitutiOn in the Country-hPpcai foi
Helm

1t is truly painful to read ill the papers
the many accounts of the suffering OF the
people for the. want of bread !; but however
painful these reports may be, when we
read them, they are more SO when they be-
gin, as it were, at our own doors, and that,
too, amongst our most substantial farmers.
We have heard of instances where farmers
in South Carolina have invested largely OF
their available means for fertilizers, hoping
to be able to obtain food for both man
and beast, to cultivate their farms. Many
of these farmers, we regret to learn, are
now unable to carry out their plans, and are
actually compelled to sell their work stock,
for the want of food to feed them. Ihls
is indeed q deplorable state of things, and
the result is, appeals are daily made Tor
halp. As an evidence of what we say, we
refer to the following letter to the Mayor
of Wilmington. The letter will explain 1t
SELF and if our people can do anything to-
wards alternating the destitute condition OF
their brethren Of 4 sister State, we feel
confident they will not be backward in
dong 50. II we can IeuueI lu0d4tl d6h6u,
it should be done without delay. Our peo-
pie know something about the want of food,
and we know when the appeal was made i'll
1862, during the terrible scourge of yellow
fever, that we were quickly and amply sup
piled. Let us now, i'll this hour of need,
assist our neighhors. Wilmingtonians are
noted for their generosity and we do hope
the solicited help in this case will be forth
coming without delay. We know not how
soon we may require similar assistance, and
while we have, let us divide our mite with
our suffering fellow-creatures. Any in
formation beyond the letter itself relative
to the matter can be obtained of his Honor,
the Mayor, John Dawson, Esq.
LANCAsTERv1LLE. S. c., May 10th, 1867.
I TO The Mayor of Wilmington, N e.
DEAR SIR Our district is in most t5eporable
state of want and appeals to you through me, as
their agent, for relief Allow me, dear sir, to ask
YOU to convene the people of your city and solicit

special contributions. The city of Newborn some
bushels of corn, have thought that your city
might be pleased to do likewise, and therefore
have been encouraged to make this appeal.
Whatever may be contributed let it be directed
to me, Rockhill, S. c., for the poor Of Lancaster

obtained Post Master; or, in other words,
the old Post Office at that place has been
re-estabIished, and PASCAL Caddell appoint

This will enable our friends in that sec
ton to obtain the Jotu11tA every second day
of its publication, and we have no doubt
they will readily embrace the first opportu-
nifty of entering their names on our list.

fighting at the battle of Puebla de Taos.
in Mexico.
What is left to be said may be compre
hended in few words. Such a life needs no
formal eulogy.
Perhaps the most marked traits of Gen
eral Anderson's character were his sinceri-
ty, his conscientiousness and his earnest
devotion to truth. These might, if quail
ties SO noble ever could be so deemed, have
been considered, by some, as almost ouiy-
otto in the extent to which he carried them.
He would have died, if possible, a thousand
times, before he would have swerved an
inch from the Straitest paths of rectitude
and honor. With spirit as gentle and
confiding. as o child's, he had all the nerve
and decision OF the best type of man.
Modesty herself was not more unassumine
than he. Who that ever knew him can for
get ms S@ale, when pleasant and genial
emotions were excited? It was like SIM
beam lighting up his handsome face and
winning the prepossessions of all who an
preached him by an irresistible magic r
Such smile could only have been born of
a heart, in which the purest thoughts had
their home. And it was, if we NAV SO
speak, the index to his whole inner nature.
| Had he been spared, he would undoubt-
edly have attained the highest distinction.
But death in the defence of home and
country is equal to a lifetime of glory, and
when North Carolina makes up her roll of
honor-as she must and will do, when
calmer times supervene-full justice will be
done to his memory. Surveying in mourn
full and grateful retrospect, the long cata-
logue of dead heroes who have illustrated
her name and history, she will dwell with
peculiar pride upon the life and services
of George Burgwyn Anderson.

DisIiiiatiom of Grain.
HEADQUARTERS,

E0ECOED N11LllA1tA 1'loIItItIs
CHARLEsToE, S. c.. May Goth, 1867.
General Orders No. %.
It appears from sundry petitions and Off
cial representations that the present scanty
supply of food i'll the Carolinas is seriously
diminished by the large quantity of grain
consumed in nume YOus dlStlllerlGS, put up
aud worked i'll defiance Of the revenue laws
of the United States; it is represented that
few or none OF the requirements of law are
observed in any of these establishments;
that the officers of the internal revenue ser
vice, while endeavoring to assess and col
lect the Nhiokey tax ar frequently treated
with tlisrespect and sometimes menaced
with violence; and that when offenders are
prosecuted i'll the civil courts and violations
of the internal revenue laws indisputably
proven, iuries fail to convict the parties; it
is further shown that this unlawful traffic
makes food .learer III places where large
numbers are depending upon public and
private bounty; that the government is, be-
sides, defrauded of d large amount of reve-
nue.; that the authority Of its civil officers is
brought into contempt; and furthermore,
that the mischief complained OF tends to
increase poverty, disorder and crime; there
fore, in the exercise Of the authority vested
in the Commanding General, it is ordered
that,
|. The distillation OF manufacture OF
whskey OF other spirits from grain is pro
hibited III this Military District. Any per
son SO engaged or employed will be deemed
guilty of a misdeneanor. The possession
of still OF other apparatus for this purpose
will be considered presumptive evidence Of
Il violation of the revenue laws, and the par
ty or parties using the same, or on whose
premises, or in whose possession the same
may be found, will be arrested and brought
to trial before military tribunal, compos-
ed OF the Commanding Officer of the Post
and tW o officers of the army next i'll rank

Post. If the eXigencies of the service dc
not permit the detail of other officers, that
fact will be duly certified and the Post
Commander will heara determine the case

nv. Our friend highly approves of our
idea, and desires us to press upon our peo-
pie the debt we owe to the needy orphans
of our dead "men in grey"
We agree with him in thinking that at
the present time it would be unwise to at
tempt to raise fund, tho income from which
would support scholar, but we are salts
fed sufficient amount to be paid yearly
can and will be pledged to pay the board
of one student at the Academy. 1t will
require but few names to raise the neces-
sary amount, if such liberal offers are re-
ceived as the one we already have.
The session of this institution begins Oh
the first day of July, which gives lis ample
time to raise the funds and select the pro-
per young man who shall be the recipient
of our charity We hope that this matter
will not be left to die of neglect. If our
people will take the proper interest ill the
subject, it will require but a small pittance
to provide for one of our many deserving
orphan youths the inestimable blessings of
good education under the auspices of one
of the best institutions in the Southern
country We know our people will make
the necessary efforts, when we state that
with the amount promised and what we
are willing to subscribe, we have fully one
sirM of the necessary funds already
pledged, and what is required is So very IN
considerable, especially when we consider
the benefits to he conferred and the obi
cations we are under, that we hope to be
able to announce i'll IL few days that the
fund is raised, when we can take such steps
as may be agreed upon by majority OF
the subscribers to select the proper person
upon whom the amount shall be expended.
We earnestly hope this matter will be
well considered by our citizens We know
that times are very hard and money IS
scarce, and all the necessities of life are ex-
trcmeIy high, but we see numbers OF our
people spending daily, for the most trivial
amusements and to crafty the whins of
taste and the fancy of appetite, sums to
which the amount we require for this noble
purpose for which we are appealing, is i'll
significant. We do not wish them to deny
themselves of anything which will add to
their comfort or enjoyment, but we know
that none will suffer and no head rest un-
easy on account of small contribution to
enable noble boy, whose father fills a sol
dier's grave, to occupy that station IN lie,
which his fathers efforts, were he alive,
would promote him. His father, in giving
up his life, left his children as charge up
on u.s. Let us now meet the obligation
which we are under as best we can. The
favorable opportunity which is presented
leaves us no excuse, and if we do not avail
ourselves of it, we cannot be relieved from
having proved ungrateful, illiberal and un
christian.

Another Snake Story.

Some fat-boatmen at Miliken's bend. not
long since, saw on the bank long black
snake, lazily watching the gradually length,
ening ridge of earth peculiar to the subsolI
navigation of the mole.
The little turnover emerged at the root
of tree, and the snake with one lunge
captured and swallowed him. The obserV-
ers of this sad affair thought it was all over
with the poor mole, but nothing daunted'
perhaps unaware of his perilous situation
he kept on scratching until he came out az
the small end of the snake, who teelng
suddenly that he had been cheated OF "
square meal, turned and swallowed hlni
again, with the same result as before
The Captain of the iat-boat, IN every Io
spect reliable gentleman, informs US 'l fs
this singular contest was continued tot
eight hours, with no variation except . 'h"i

HEARD THE CRAsH.--The Springfield Re-
publican tells funny story about a lady who
resides in town which has been renowned as
the residence OF two of the foremost men in
American literature. Some time ago severe
illness left her almost utterly deaf. After con-
sulting regular physicians in vain, she applied
to a certain quack of this city for advice He
listened to her statement, and after brief DELHI

sudden and terrible crash; that will indicate
the tall OF the barrier which impedes your hear
ing, and that sense will Immediately resume
its full action" The lady went home still
skeptical The days passed on and the crash
came not. On the tenth day she sat alone
quietly sewing, the other members of the fam
lily being in an adjoining apartment Sudden
~ she was conscious of a tremendous noise
that might have been the wreck of matter and
the crash of worlds. Down dropped her work.
andspp went her hands, as she burst into the
nexcroom, crying, Pm going to hear! I'm go
ingto hear! I've heard the crashl" The 9TH
ers had heard the crash, too, for upon the floor
in one chaotic heap lay a large part of the
family store of crockeFy and glassware mingled
with the fractured limbs of the kitchen-table.
A wholesale cleaning of table-turniture had
been in progress and the weight of dishes piled
upon the table had been too much for its weak
legs; it had yielded and fallen; and as she saw
the wreck, the high hopes of Mrs--fell also.

Anxious Leaf.

wind just told me that one day it would pull
me OH and throw me down to dle on the
ground? The twig told il TO the branch on
which it grew, aud the branch told 1t to the
tree. And when the tree heard it, TRUSTED all

LONG till October. Andbwhen the bright DAYS
Of summer came, the little leaf saw all the
leaves around becoming very beautiful Some
were yellow, and some scarlet, and some strip

what it meant? And the tree said, 'All these
