The Confederate Dead.

Mr.. JD1ToR will you permit
me the use of your columns for the
purpose of making nh announce
ment to the public.
After the conclusion of tho war,
certain patriotic ladies' in the city of
Columbia conceived the idea of erect
ing an appropriate monuinent in
that city to the Confederate dead, to
perpetuate the memory of their
deeds of valor, their privations and
endurance, and the heroic sacrifice
of their lives in the cause of their
country Columbia being the cen
trail point of the State, likely at
times TO be visited by citizens of NIL
the counties, was evidently the most
proper place for such monument
These ladies besides intend that this
tribute shall not stand merely for
the Confederate dead of Columbia or
Richland County, but of the whole
State indeed, that the fathers md
mothers, wives and children Of any
of those heroes who fell on the bot
tie fields Of the South may approach
and view this structure, feeling that
it is as we'll erected in memory of
their loved ones ns of those whose
kindred live near by. It is there
fore not local, but as it were na-
tional, in which all will have a com
mon interest. How worthy an OBJ
ject this is, every one at the South
will appreciate. In most of the
Southern States (excepting South
Carolina) beautiful monuments have
already been erected to express an
undying love for and remembrance
of their Confederate dead, intending
that those structures shall witness
this to all coming generations. .....
The monument for Columbia is
now completed, and will soon be in
process of erection in Elmwood
Cemetery. It is impossible to tell
of the difficulties which the ladies in
charge have had to surmount in or
der to put their enterprise in the
way of success. To their patience,
devotion and untiring exertions we
owe it that their labors now ap-
proach completion. The cost of the
monument will be $4,000, and the
difficulty of raising such a sum in
the impoverished condition of our
State may DO conceived but there
is even yet to collect somo two or
three thousand dollars, and rs one
climbing mountain finds the last
stops of the ascent the hardest to
achieve, SO these ladies experience
with the summit of their endeavors
which is to put the capstone to their
labors.
I propose, Mr.. Editor, in aid Of
their noble undertaking, to offer on
my part an effort in their behalf.
It is my intention to doliver at Ches-
ter, Yorkville, Winnsboro, and
probably at other places, lecture
to be entitled "The Confederate
Soldier, as dead his claims to be
remembered as living to be honored
and respected" p
This lecture will be delivered at
Winnsboro on such day after the
first week in August as The commit
toe shall appoint. Whether + shall

interest my audience, be it great or

Moncrre D. Conway, in letter to

Monc,,re D. Conway, in letter to
the Cincinnati Commercial, tells
of a creole prisoner, Julia st. Clair
Newman, whohas been giving the
keepers of the Millbank Prison no
end of trouble. Her hands were so
small that no handouts could hold
them. They sent her to a dark cell
and she refused to eat p; she was so
near death that the keepers had to
yield. They sent her to Bedlam, but
the physicians there discovered TINT
she was foigning, and she had Ito be
sent back to Millbank. She per-
petually tore up her clothes, and to
keep her from parading in patris
a,ot,trolS6usF whole Awardrobes of
clothes had to be sacrificed. |Surgi-
cal instrument makers took her ex-
act measure to devise some contri-
vances that would hold her she

facturer of restraints for the insane
"made pair of leather sleeves {of
extra strength and fitted them him
self. They came up to her shoul-
ders, were strapped across, then also
strapped around her waist and again
below, fastening her hands close to
her side. Next morning the task
mistress took the sleeves to the
Governor. In the night Julia had
extricated herself from them and cut
them into ribbons, using piece Of
glass she had secreted." A yet
more powerful straight-waistcoat
was devised, and q collar put around
her neck to keep her from biting it
with her teeth. Next morning She
was free, as usual. Finally the au-
thorities Of the prison notified the
government that they had not the
power to restrain or rule this Creole
girl, and that she Kept tho whole
establishment in a panic. So she was
sent on the Nautilus to Van Die.

During the past week several
spirited letters have passed be-

Receiver Of HardysSolomon's Bank.
Receiver Dunn writes very, we'll but
what the people want to know is why
he does not make o clean statement
of tho affairs of the Bank. There
has been fraud practised and tho
public is anxious to know who got
the money. This Solomon Bank

Our village shows its usual signs
of life. The new steam mill has
gone into operation. Its business
is already large, and it is almost
impossible to supply the customers,
who pronounce the -four of supe-
rior quality.
A social party at the house of Mr..
r. H. Brown, was enjoyed on Thurs
day evening by large number Of
friends. Mr.. and Mrs. Brown know
how to entertain company, and the
hours of the evening only seemed
to press each other too closely.
Mr.. Ed. Brown has just returned
from the University. He gives o
good account of the institution,
aud says the Capital is certainly q
beautiful city, but certain kind Of
attraction, and "true inwardness,"
render his own village mora
agreeable.
One of the great sensations Of
the town is the fine stock of mill
linery and Christmas goods for sale
by Mrs. Garden. Her stock is the
finest in the village, and if the
young men don't remember their
lady friends on Christmas, it wont
be because they cannot get first
class presents at fair price.
Col. Mappes will have grand
shooting match on Saturday.
There will be Christmas Tree in
the M. +. Church, and pleasant
time is expected. When these events
are among "the things gone by"
you will hear of their success from
SCHNAPPS.

OUR County Clerk was arrested
and taken to Milwaukee on Satur-
day, on the charge of contempt of
court. A Milwaukee lawyer named
Mariner had purchased some of the
claims against the county, and man.
damus was served in June, ordering
the levyiDg Of a tax to meet them.
A taxwas accordingly levied in July,
which Mr., Hoare certified to the
town clerks of the county. But the
statute declaring that no tax can be
levied except in November this one
was thought illegal, and was not put
upon the roll for 1875 by the town
clerks. The next November past,
and the tax was not certified again.
Mr. Hoare thinking it illegal to
certify q tax twice, which was
claimed to be the ground for his
arrest. In his actions he has rep
resented the wishes of the people,
who believe his course to have been
legal, and trust that his detention
will not be Of long duration.

BURGLARCAPTURED. .-Wenoticed
a few weeks ago a theft committed
at the house of Mr.. StiIlwell in
Fayette, which has come to light in
the following manner: Some time
ago several houses had been entered
IN the vicinity of Mifflin, from
which a few articles were stolen.
About two weeks ago a person
named John Owen passed through
the same way, and from his actions,
was suspected to be the guilty per-
son. He stopped at the house of
John j. Davis, and the family re-
membered his countenanee. A short
time Afterwards the sons of Mr..
Davis, while passing the house Of
John II. Jones, in the vicinity Of
Belle Mound, saw the suspected
person approaching it. 1t being
Sunday, and the young men know
ing the occupants to be at church,
kept close watch of the supposed
burglar. He first tried the floor,
but hnding it fastened, sought in
gress at a window, which he opened
and entered. His pursuers rushed
upon him, and although he escaped
from the house, he was pursued,
captured and his arrest procured at
once. Being tried, be was found
guilty of burglary in several in
stances, and watth was found
about his person, which proved to
be the one stolen from the house OF
Mr.. Stillwell. The victim will serve

report pleasant time and kind

three hundred were present at the
concert, among whom were the best

highly pleased with the music. The
company were kindly invited to
remain to give a concert the next
evening, but duties at home pre-
vented it. They returned on Thurs

to make the trip agreeable. They
