forts to show that there is strong antaSonlsm
between the military and the anti-Radlcal COM
munity; and further, that the community rank
the Radicals and United States officers IN one
common class alike offensive. This may be
true, and no doubt is, in such cases as "united
States officers" means merely the ticks OF Radl-
calism who blend politics and business, but is
doubtless untrue so far as it applies to military
officers. At least, here in Columbia, the mill
tary officers very properly keep aloof from
politics; but so far as they have personal views,
these views take the side of decency and order.
A military officer is as anxious to be separated
in public estimation from the piunderlng ao-
venturers who make up the Radical crew as
the respectable citizen is, be that citizen white
or black. Witness, on the one hand, the Deco
ration Day affair; and on the other, the inter-
view between Haynesworth, the col 0red par
Der, and Parker, the carpet-bag adventurer,
last Thursday.
An account of this "interyiew" between
Haynesworth and Parker appeared IN the
Guardian, of Saturday; but 1t was drawn mild.
The witnesses to the scene were several, and
the effect decided. In brief, the matter was
this Haynesworth was standing at the door
of the Columbia Hotel; Parker drove up in his
carriage and whistled TO Haynesworth to come
and hold his horse; the latter declined positive
ly, and in explanation stated, with emphasis,
that he was a gentleman and an honest man,
and then retired to his shop in the rear. Par
ker soon followed him and rendered an apol-
ogy, which was not accepted upon the same
grounds given for not coming to his whistle
In declining this apology, Haynesworth "eS-
pressed his mind pretty freely" to Parker; ant!
did 80 in plain Saxon words-monosyllables
that cut keenly to the truth, while they eX-
pressed what hundreds believe to be the facts
in the case. Haynesworth is widely known
and universally respected. There seemed to
be no politics in it, but the natural uprising ol
human nature that cannot stand everything
There is an end to all patience: and Parker is
beginning to find himself near that end with
our people.
The $4,000 Schley land commission case
has taken two steps since MY last-Leslie has
denied the allegations against him, and De-
Large has told one of our citizens that Neagle
had nothing to do with the affair." These
steps, SO far as these personal and newspaper
explanations 60, exculpate Scott, Cardozo,
Leslie, DeLarge and Neagle, and narrows
down the case to Parker and Chamberlain
One more move and the game will be decided.

The announcement Of the death of Dickens
has produced profounder sensation in this
community than that of any European who
has died probably since Napoleon. Many, es-
pecally ladies, speak of it as a personal be-
reayement to them.
Colonel Pearce-Sprague's bogus agent of
the bogus Columbia-canal project-has again,
1 am credlbly informed, gone back to New
England. This is the end of the third publicly
announced start at the work on the canal.
Our citizens are beginning to come to the con-
clusion arrived at by your correspondent, and
expressed BY him twice before this.
Our people are already beginning to cast
round for o resort to flee TO during the mid
summer. Several Virginia springs have been
announced as open for the season; but hear
of none who are going there. In our own
State there are four resorts spoken of-Wal-
halla. where friend Bieman presides; Caesars
Head. kept by Mr.. Carson; Glenn's Springs and
Cherokee Springs, both in Spartanburg Coun-
ty. In North Carolina are two, to which sew
eral of our people are preparing to go-Spark-
ling Catawba- Springs, in Catawba County,
kept by Colonel Wyatt, in flrst-rate old vir-
ginia style; and Cleveland Springs, near
Shelby.
Some of our people are looking towards
short Northern excursions, but in no direction
has any movement been made; all is prospect
ing.
One Jean Baptiste de Fiel, q Belgian by
