lima.
From the Charleston Courier.
A day or two ago it was announced in
these columns that Mr.. Robertson had in
troduced a bill in the United States Senate,
directing the Secretary Of the Treasury 70
deliver to the Receiver of the State Bank
OF Charleston certain State bonds which
are now in the United States Treasury.
There is a very curious history connected
with the bonds, in which those alluded to
rs being in the United States Treasury
form a part. The facts have not hitherto
been published. The State Bank, it will
be remembered, was, before the war, one OF
the numerous banking corporations OF
Charleston. a part of its assets consisted
Of one hundred thousand dollars OF the one
million dollars Of State bonds, issued under
Gov. AlstOn's administration, 20 aid in the
construction of the Blue Ridge Railroad.
The bOmbardment Of Charleston and Its
subsequent occupation by the Federal
army, caused the removal of much valuable
personal property, and moneys, and seeuri-
ties. to the interior Of the State. The
mOveable assets of the State Bank, including
the bonds. We're sent to Camden, where
they remained until the tramp of Sherman's
boys in blue, more familiarly known in this
State as
SuERSAN'S RUNNERS,
compelled the people Of Camden to make
ready 10 evacuate the place. The bonds
were then in charge Of Mr.. Benjamin Lee,
af that time the cashier Of the bank. The
reputation of Sherman's men for laying
violent hands on srebel valuabies" had
preceded their advent, and it was deemed
expedient to get everything in the shape Of
what Mr.. Wemmick calls '.pOrtable proper
ty1 out Of the way. Mr.. Lee accordingly
left Camden, having in his charge a
chest containing the assets Of the
bank. The bummeTs, however, were
not to be foiled. They scented the booty,
and oyertaking Mr.. Lee, captured and
"confiscated' his precious chest. In the
DIVISION or THE PLUNDEE
which followed, the bonds became sepa-
rated. and at the close Of the war, when the
JuInmers returned to their homes, all traces
Of the securities were lost. In the course Of
two or three years, however, some Of the
lost property found It's way back into the
possession Of the officers of the bank, and
ND to December, 1869, when Mr.. James B.
Bets was appointed receiver Of the bankby
Judge Carpenter, $4,000 Of the ben,ls had
been recovered. Since that time about
5000 more have been recovered, and there
are now in the United States Treasury ST.
600 additional, being the bonds alluded TO
in Senator RObertsOn's resolution. It is
srlpp0sed that these bonds came into the
possessiOn of one Of the officers Of the army
who. being unable TO discover the owner,
turned them over To the government. II

Real, that is the standard to which we have
con stantly been attaining, and the moral AMI

of their own opportunity. TO wora with will

stand justice. unless il has basis OF self
justice the first perception Of it comes in in
infancy, and makes itself manifest in the early
years, when self is predominant and with the
growth of reason, and still more OF experience,
we know our needs to be those of other indi.
yiduas and OF the race. But now we must &C
back to first principles, and say. these good
things of life, these prerogatives, these priv
leges and immunities, which we ourselves have
sought for Others and helped them to enjoy
we ask for ourselves.
We demand the RICH, to which we believe
every God-given soul is entitled consonan
with the regulated well-being of others, to the
exercise Of individual will. The little babe il

SHERMAN, aged Sc years, months and days
Ee was born in Conway. Mass. Dec. 18th,
1857. At the age OF q ne was married to
Mary Warren Of Deerfelt Mass, and while at
Conway there were born to them two sons
Alonzo and Caleb. In 1917 at the age OF 30,
he removed to York, Livingston County. \. Y,
where another son, Joseph Warren, was born
In the fall OF i5i4, he removed from Leroy,
Genesee Co., n. Y, to Paw Paw, Van Buren,
Co.. Michigan, which afterward remained his
place Of residence. Here he lost his wife by
death March 10Th, 1853, and his con Joseph
May I'd, 1854. But Providence had kindly gone
before him. His son Alonzo had come to Paw
Paw in the spring before his own coming, and
bis son Caleb had settled near by, in Kalama-
zoo. nine years before that time. The home OF
his son Alonzo. after the death OF his wife, be-
came his home for the remainder OF his life
There were NO marked events in bis long ca
rser: yet it was his privilege to 1--we one OF
those lives OF fidelity and consistency in the
allotted station thar. where knowr. always met
the high approval OF man and also OF God.
For this he was fitted by MS Puritan descent.
His ancestor, Capt. John Sherman, was one OF
a company OF the same name that came from
Essex Co., England, about the year 1884 and
settled IL WATERFOWL. Mass. From these the
Shermans OF America descended He inherited
their consistency, straight forwardness and
tenacity OF purpose. lie was active II temper

strongly to established habits OF life and es-
pecally so to old scenes and assoclations.-
Touching examples OF this were afforded in
the lingering fondness with which he chung to
his accustomed place OF work. and how he
priced the privilege o. revlsiting the scenes Of
his early life at the east But his religious ex-
perience gave opportunity for the fuller mani
festation OF these strong and best traits Of his
character. He made a profession of religion
1889 and joined the Baptist church, and during
the remainder IS years of his life was faithful
in his devotion to his christian duties. The
rare and beautiful testimony that He was
never known to speak III Of any one" should be
engraved on his tombstone. 1t has also the
accompanying testimony, " He was not kno wn
