The survivors association.

The Survivors, Association.
The goth instant, their usual anniversary
was celebrated by the Survivors of Kershaw
County.
The Association went to the Presbyterian
Church and listened to the Grafton of Gen.
j. D. KENNEDY. This Grafton was, in eve.
ry respect, worthy of the occasion: in the
brief analysis of the causes of the late war,
accurate and logical; in the estimate OF the
character and services of the Confederate ar
my enthusiastic but calm, sound and elo-
quent; in the advice given, sober and prac'
tical. 1t should be preserved among the
records of the Survivors Association.
After enjoying this feast of reason, the
Survivors repaired to the Kershaw House,
where arrangements had been made tor
gratifying the palate. When we arrived at
Tho hotel We were glad to. see that OUR
young friends of the Watercs Cornet Band
had made their first appearance in pubic in
honor of the Survivors Association. Their
performances were very creditable to them
selves, and source of great pleasure to the
Survivors, by whom their kindness is high
ly appreciated. The supper, furnished by
Mr.. RoDGERs, of the Kcrshaw House, was
abundant, good and well prepared, and was
apparently mucHrelishcd by the large and
go,d-humored party who partook of it. At
ter the appetite had been satisfied, toasts
were read out and responded to by several of
those present. The sentiments were well
chosen. We wish that we had time and
space to notice at length several of the
speeches made on the occasion, but as we
cannot mention all, evil not attempt to
choose between those which were Of equal
and very great excellence.
The time was very pleasantly passed in
this variety of interesting enployments until
late hour, when the meeting was dissolved,
and all went home we'll pleased with the
celebration.
We thirk that the Survivors Association
shsaM be cherished by its members, aid
that every effort should be put forth to
make il strong and vigorous 1t is we'll for
those who passed through the marches,
battles, hardshias, prisations, triumphs, re-
verses, hopes, joys and disappOintments of
the late terrible var, to meet together and
recall those scenes, revive the memory of
the principles for which they fought: and
the efforts put forth in their defence, and
encourage each other to hope, DO faithful
and perscvsre, now that our cause Is pros
trlte in the dust, our principles dcspised and
trampled on and our motives nlisrepresss;ed-'
We would especially call attention to the
resolution adopted by the Association which
proposes to give it practical object, and
engage it in u nuble and necessary work.
The claims of the widows and orphans Of
those fell for their country, are great, and
VIC cannot disregard them. Many poor aud
humble men laid down their lives gallantly
for their country, Shall We allow those WHO
we're dependent on them to suffer for food,
clothing, and education? Shall We permit
disabled soldiers to suffer aud die We hope
the committee appointed to carry out this
resolution will see to it that the charitable
intentions of the Survivors Association are
accomplished.

Tay iIeLIDAYs.- About the middle of
hast week the Christmas. holidays commenced
in earnest. The streets were full of people
snd the stores put on their gaycst attire
The shop Eindows we're crowded with all
sorts Of ingenious torturcs for the eyes, ears,
and bodies of nervous persons. The timid
and quiet sought the reposc Of home, while
the gay young folks aoekol to the crowded
thoroughfares.
At the Episcopal church service WAS held
by the Rev. c. Bruce Walker, oa Monday,
aud aItllsasb the weather was unsettled,
quite a large congregation attended. 1t
S,aa Was on, Monday that the real fun began,
from, early dawn till way apast adewy eve"
in fact till twelve o'clock at night, the air
and car filed with the detonations of cannon,
guns, pistols, torpedoes, crackers, roman
candles, rockets, wheels and almost every
other known vehicle Of noise. Unwary
horssmen who rode up Main Street knew no
rest until they had run the gauntlet of the
firing, which was vigorously kept up during
their passage.
An old revolutionary cannon, xpound-
srxhich was brought down from Flat Rock
to aid in the grand Denocratic barbecue
given here in 1868 during the campaign,
va, called into rcquisition, and greatly aid
ed in awakening the echoes of the surround
ing forests b. Its uncouth bcll,wings. On
Monday night the sky was lit up far and
near by the beautiful rockets which made
their graceful sport and then sank into
sudden darkness. A heavy sulphurous
cloud hung over Main Street which remind
ed old soldiers somewhat of the dense smoke
of the battlefield, and one was at no loss to
ascertain that all these extraordinary pro-
ceedings indicated that christmas the great
festival and holiday Of tho Christian year
was being fully enjoyed.
Not content with Monday, the fun was
continued into Tuesday and even larger
crowd throngcd the streets than on the day
before. As was natural, quite large quan.
tity of benzine was imbibed, but We have
not yet heard the first instance of a disturb
ance, a fact which reflects credit upon the
municipal authorities, and the character OF
our entire people.

FRIDAY, MARCH "a, 1871.
Jamaican Annexation .

The people of the Island of Jamaica are
beginning to see their own interests. They
desire annexation to the United States.
They would be a most valuable addition.
The better portion of the people are edu-
Gated, refined and wealthy, and are of
English descent. They huve for long
time been dissatisfied with England be-
cause she abolished sl,very and deprived
them of colored labor, yet continued to re-
ceive into her ports slave grown Brazilian
sugar The consequence was, the West
Indian Islands were, in the eyes of the
planters Of that section, ruined. The i'm
mense commerce that would spring up
between the United States and Jamaica,
in the event IF annex ton, would convert
that island into new country. Its an
nexation would b. as great, if not great
er acquisition than that of San Domingo.
Considering the powsr TO which she now
belongs, the political and commercial ad.
vautsges which would result to US by heI
becomiu- part of the United States
would not be the least signifc mt item.

NARROW ESCAPE OF A RAILROAD
TRAIN.-The Free Press says the six
o'clock mail train from the South on the
Rutland Road, Tuesday evening, lad a
narrow escape from disaster at culvert
over small stream running into Shell
burn Bay. At about six o'clock, Mr.. Cur
don Smith, milkman, on his way across
lots to the Lake shore, where some fisher
men were drawing a seine, passed under
the culvert, and discovered that the ma
son work had become undermined by the
high water, and had fallen in, leaving the
rails above supported only by she'll of
earth. He at once made his way upon
the track, and ran with all his might to
meet the train which he had heard ap-
preaching at full speed, and by waving
his hands and handkerchief succeeded
in attracting the attention of the engineer
Just in season to stop the train. The To-
comotive was within few feet of the
culvert when it came to q standstill. A
moments examination showed that the
culvert could not be crossed in that con-
dition the train backed down TO Shell
burn, while word was sent to this city,
and repair train went down and shored
the track so that it could be crossed.
Doubtless the accidental discovery and
timely warning prevented a serious dis.
aster.

Letter From New Orleans.

Editor Rutland Herald New Orleans
the great Metropolitan city of the South
is as lively and gay as though 'hard
times were entirely unknown, and pleas
ure the only thing sought by her thou
sand votaries A great many strangers
from the North, the South, East and West
are daily thronging her streets and hotels
clothed in the most extravagant and
fashionable manner, displaying the finest
iewelry and diamonds of rarest hue.
The Crescent City" is now truly beaati
full, with her numerous trees, grass plat.
and shrubbery, the trees in full foliage o.
soft and tender shade of color, the grass
as green as on the banks of your own
beautiful New England streams in June
and the gardens teeming with their fine
shrubbery and sending forth their rich
perfume from many full b own rose,
and pink and other rare and precious
flowers. New Orleans may well be proud
of her wide streets, her fine shade trees
and numerous grass plots and lawns,
which greet the eye on every hand. 1t is
not uncommon here to find streets two
hundred feet wide, with four rows of
elegant shade trees, each row standing in
a beautiful belt of green grass fcom eight
to ten feet wide Such natural beauty in
the center of a large city is by no means
common. and all visitors to the Crescent
City" are greatly pleased, and duly sp-
preciate it. Speaking of hotels, the St.
Charles seems to be great favorite with
the beautiful md the fair, the dignifed
and s-data. Her pArlors and halls are
thronupd with cnmers and go~rs, and
pnrt,r4, clerks and praprietors are kept
constantly busy, day and night, minister
ing to the WAITS and pleasure of their
guests, still every one receives speci Il at
tention and here lies the great secret OF
knowing Just how to do it. The gentle.
manly propristors, Messrs. Rivers, Foley
Il Co, are the right men in the right
place, which fully accounts for their
great popularity with all who are so for
tunate as to become their guests. Under
their management everything has been
put in perfect order, and the St. Charles
now takes rank among the very best ho-
tells in the country.
Some kinds of business are picking up
a little yet, AS general thing, Of course,
business here must sympathize with that
throughout the whole country, and the
business men must wait with patience for
it to brighten. The South's great staple,
her main dependence, cotton, is distress
iugly low, still showing some signs of life,
and at last accounts lOokiDE upward.
When the Southern Pacific Railrotd is
com pleted to the Pocifo coast, then many
of our friends in the North aud East will
avnil themselves Of the pleasure of visit
ing the Crescent City" as they travel
back and forth from tho Atlantic TO the
Pacific. More anon. j. A. l..

ANECDoTE-They tell good story on
Judge David Hubbard, of West Concord.
When he was in company with s. S.
Gould, some years ago, Curtis Villas went
into the store and asked Hibbard if he
didn't want to buy some indigo. The
Judge said they had q plenty, but would
buy more if they could get it cheap.
Villas showed him what he had to sell.
The Judge put on wise, mercantile air,
rubbed the indigo together, stirred it up,
and did all he supposed any indigo man
would do in submitting the article to a
good test. He finally pronounced it a
"fair article-not the best, but 'twould
ao." Villas put the price clear down, and
the Judge emptied the bag into the
indigo barrel. and thought he had
made few dollars very easily. The
next day as Gould went to help a
customer from the barrel, be was much
surprised at the contents. Judge Hib-
bard" says he, "what's got into this indi-
go?" The judge explained how he had
found an opportunity the day before to
purchase quantity of indigo below the
market price, and bought it and turned it
in there. "Well," says Gould, you have
bought a lot Of Prussian blue, paid above
| the market price, turned 1t In here and
spoiled the indigo and blue both" A look
of blank astonisbment spread over the
Judges face as he set himself about the
task of separating the two articles, with a
small hope of saving little of each. He
concluded afterwards that the only pros
peot of realizing profit from the mer.
camille business was to let his partner dc
the purchasing. We get this story from
Asa Hibbard. the "bass wood" Judge, and
uncle of David. This source is sufficient
guaranty of the truth of the story

that Rev. E. H. Byington, lately OF

in Brunswick, Me, we are now informed
was not altogether correct. Mr.. Bying-

THE PARTISAN INSURGENTS The in
surYents still retain complete control OF
Paris, but the general aspect of affairs is
more encouraging. A large force of
troops is massing at Versailles and the
goVernment will soon have sufficient
power to take vigorous measures against
the mob. The most hopeful feature of the
situation, however, is the fact that the
provinces thus far remain faithful to
Thiers. Not even in Lyons, Bordeaux or
Marseilles-those het-beds of sedition and
socialism-does any sympathy with the
insurrection in the capital manifest itself,
and it really begins to look as if the long
standing axiom of French politics that
paris is France"-the effect of which has
been that a mob in the chief city conld at
any time overturn the government of the
whole country-were at last to be proved
false.

THE REWARDS FOR THE CAPTURE AND
CONVICTION OF FILKINs Albany
Express says it is announoed that Gov.
Hoffman, on the certificate of District
Attorney Peckham, has directed the
Comptroller to pay Joel Potter, Oliver
Thomas, w. A. G. Arthur and John D..
Burwell of Schroon Lake, and Charles T.
Leland (stage driver) of Whitehall, the
sum of $500, in equal parts, the reward
offered by him for the capture and con-
viction of Filkins. The disposition of the
$4,000 offered by the Express Company is
a vexed question. There are several
claimants for the money, among the num-
Der Thomas Braidwood, who furnished
the information relative to the purchase
of pistol by Filkins, and which led to
the suspicion that he was the assailant Of
Halpine. Before any division is made
there will certainly be a sharp contro-
lversy.

ARIzoNA--The northern part of Ari
zona is to be explored. Lieut. Wheeler of
the Engineer Corps has received instruc-
tions to make thorough exploration of
this and also the southern portion of the
State of Nevada. Arizona is a territory
very little known, and is inhabited by a
nomadio race of Indians-the Apaches-
who pounce down upon settlers and min
ing parties, and massacre all they can
with merciless ferocity. The first step to
take is to quiet these savages. Ari-
.zona is almost worthless as an agrioul-
tural country; it is dry, barren and stony,
but there is every reason to believe that it
is rich in gold and silver. Considering
its unsettled state great amount of gold
has been taken out of the country, and it
bids fair when white men can live there
to become great mining territory.
