HISTORICAL SKETCHES
OF THE
EarIy Settlement of South Carolina.
BY REV. ROBERT LATHAM.

THE WAR WITH THE CHEROkEEs AND
TORIES.
From what has been already said, it il evi-
dent that very undesirable state of things
existed in the up-country Of South Carolina,
at the commencement of the Revolutionary
war. 1t has been recorded as historic fact
that the Wings of South Carolina and Geor-
gia, had more difficulties to overcome than
the Wings in any of the thirteen colonies.
There were, in the region between the Broad
and Saluda rivers, more Tories and Loyalists
than in any other region Of country embraced
in the thirteen colonies, in proportion to the
number of the inhabitants. It was more hon.
orable to be patriot in South Carolina, than
it was in Massachusetts, The two colonies
we're situated totally different, in their rela-
tions to the mother country. self-interest
moved Massachusetts to rebel; but self.interest
prompted South Carolina to cling to England.
In 1719 she had voluntarily given up her pro-
prietary charter and placed herself under the
government of England. In this relation
she was happy and prosperous. A South
Carolina Wing was Whig from pure princi-
pie. If he had been asked why he threw of
his allegiance to the crown Of England, he
could have exclaimed with emphasis-Lab-
erty.
A we'll concerted plan had been arranged
by which to attack the patriots of South Car
olina and Georgia, both on the sea-board and
in the interior, at the same time. The loyal
lists, tories and Indians, were to make an at
tack upon the Wings living in the interior,
whilst the British feet was to besiege and
capture the seaport town. John Stuart was
the principal agent in devising and in at
tempting to carry out this plan. The COL
leagues of Stuart were the loyal Governors
Wright, of Georgia; Campbell, of South Car
olna Martin, of North Carolina; Dunmore,
Of Virginia and Tonyn, of Florida
When we consider all the circumstances,
we will be enabled to see that the plot was
well conceived, and the men chosen to put it
in execution eminently fitted, John Stuart
was Scotchman. According to some au'
thorities, he was born in Charleston, South
Carolina. This we are disposed to think is
incorrect. 1t is probable that John Stuart
came to Georgia with Oglethorp. 1t will
be remembered that amongst the first settlers
of Georgia, was company of Highlanders
under the father of General Lachlin Mc1n'
tosh. John Stuart and bis brother we're, in
all probability, in that Highland colony that
settled on the Altamaha. Stuart was a man
of talent, and, besides, there was something
in the dress and general appearance Of the

tories, Colonel Andrew Williamson was sent
to the scene of their operations. His own
home was in this region, and consequently the
love of his own fireplace inspired him with
energy. He found the people panic-struck.
Each one was disposed to secure place OF
safety for his own family, before he engaged
in pursuing the maddened foe. More than
two weeks were required to raise an army OF
five hundred men.
On the 18th of July, party of ninety In.
dians and one hundred and twenty white men
made an attack upon Major Downs, in Fort
Lindlay. Downs defeated them, taking thir.
teen prisoners, ten of whom proved to be
white men painted so as to resemble Indians.
The loyalists had expected the Indians to
spare the families of those white men who
were not in sympathy with the patriots In
this they were mistaken. The savages used
the tomahawk and scalping knife on Wings
and Loyalists indiscriminately, and the prop.
erty of both was recklessly destroyed by the
savages. This cooled the ardor of the Loyal.
lists and aroused the slumbering energies Of
the patriots. Another thine greatly changed
the state of things in the fnssy ylsii region.
About the 22nd Of July, the news of the
successful defence of Charleston, on the 2Sth
of June, reached the up.country. The Tories
and Loyalists were not prepared for such
news. They confidently expected to hear Of
Charleston being in the hands Of the British,
so soon as the feet under Parker arrived.
The result Of this news was great depression
to the Loyalists, and prompt resistance on the
part Of the Wings. The Loyalists, under
Cameron, began to desert and straggle, and
the patriots to rush, BY the hundreds, to the

A RICH WoMAN's HARD FATE.-It is
highly probable that the widow of Alex
ander 7. Stewart will be annoyed and
prosecuted beyond measure by beggars of
various degrees, even now that Judge
Hilton is employed to assist her in dis
bursting it. If she had retainad the
whole She could not, during her life, give
away more than the merest fraction of
the interest of her vast fortune. If she
knew on whom to bestow it, and occupied
all her time in making small donations,
she could not give it all away during her
lifetime. Suppose her to be worth S50,-
100000, and to disburse only the inter-
est, she could get rid of $4,000 day,
or 81, 900 every working hour. In other
words she could perpetually give away
SIG a minute for ten hours of every
working day and never touch the princi-
pal! If resolved to transfer to Others the
entire fortune, it would take her year if
she counted out $3.50 second. In $100
bills, laid end to end, it would reach from
the Battery to Central Park. If divided
into 81 bills, and kept at compound in
terest, neither Mrs. Stewart nor any single
line of successors could ever count it and
give it away, even if the counting were
continued for thousands of years and
each counted as fast as possible. If it
was all $40 bills, and thief should get
access to the pile and take one bill q
minute, it would require morethan thirty
years for him to capture the fortune. On

witnessed BY the writer.

at closer quarters, tnan was ever before
witnessed by the writer.
There was little or no underground,
and nearly every tree was large enough
to shelter one or more men, and the bat
tie was after the regular Indian style
Gen. Jackson betaking himself to the
friendly side of a large oak of sufficient
size to shelter himself and horse, the
writer and the color-bearer of the Fourth
Virginia Regiment sharing with him the
protection of the tree.
As the fight progressed the men clus-
tered around Jackson, causing the fire in
our immediate front to be very heavy,
and forcing the enemy to give way to the
right and left until considerable gap
was made in their line. Jackson, who
had been eagerly watching from first one
side and then the other side of the tree,
seized this opportunity to charge. TAX
ing the flag from the sergeant and placing
the end of the staff upon his foot, which
projected beyond the stirrup, and without
saying one word to the men, he advanced
in canter. With a regular Confederate
yell the troops followed in a run. We
had not gone twenty yards before the
Yankees turned their backs, and made
better time going through those woods
than our fellows had done half an hour
before. The pursuit was continued till
dark, but there was no fighting worth
speaking of after this final charge.
I have always thought that Jackson
showed more of the hero in that fight
than any other of the numerous battles.
The heavy rains that fell that
night and the next day prevented further
pursuit, even if it had been deemed ad-
yisable.- Richmond Whiq.

Through the lofty corridors the gentle
footsteps and the light rustling of a wo-
vans trailing garments were heard, fol-
lowed BY low rap upon the library door.
From Hubert Gray's brow the gloomy
shadows disappeared. He hastily con-
cealed the letters in his escretoire, and
opened the door to beautiful woman,
who looked so fresh and fair that she
could have passed for thirty, if it had
not been for the soldierly and stately
looking man at her side who greeted her
as mother, and lead her courteously to a
seat.
cam i an interruption upon your busy
moments, Hubert" she asked.
"The company of my mother an inter-
ruption? No, neyerl You know, mother,
I am your sworn knight. Even in our
boyish games of tilts and Journeys, when
the VOWS of fealty were proffered For
the good cause and my lady, imagination
pictured no fairer form or face than my
mothers. And 1 do believe" he added,
affectionately, 'you grow more beautiful
each day."
"Your Aattery is very sweet, and most
precious to me, my boy, and as reward
invite you to accompany Ada and my
self in long drive to-day. But, Hubert,
have you forgotten to-day? you prom
ised should have satisfactory reply to
a suit 1 preferred sometime ago."
Hubert Gray became very pale, and
answered with emotion: II fear my an
swer will pain you, my dear mother, but
1 do not love Ada ST. Clare, and dare not
seek to win her love-"
Hubert, you do indeed give me pain
by your refusal. Ada is very dear to me
as my own daughter in this home OF
wealth and luxury she has been reared,
petted and spoiled. You know she is
young, beautiful and very poor; I have
always INDUCED the hope that my be-
loved protege would become your wife,
and have never taught her to look for
ward to life's hard battle with poverty.
How, oh, Hubert, how can meet the
friend of my girlhood, poor Adele, if l
leave her child, my orphan charge, un-
cared for in this cold, hard world. Even
in Heaven there could be no joy for ME
with recollections of my little Ada's suf-
ferings."

CosT OF PRoDUcTIoN.-Farmers are
generally beginning to realize that this
IS the great pivotal question on which
their success of failure must depend.
Until quite recently the importance of
this subject has been comparatively over
looked, and there is even now scarcely
one farmer in fifty who can tell with any
accuracy or certainty what his cereals
when harvested have cost per bushel, or
what his poultry, beef, mutton and pork
have cost per pound. Fer this slovenly
mode of husbandry there is neither neces-
sity nor excuse, and there is probably no
other legitimate business wherein such
Indifference to the main question would
be considered possible. -,
It is very certain that farmers will
hereafter find it necessary to make a
point of ascertaining the actual cost per
6ushel of their wheat and corn. When
ever they do this they will be surprised
to find that in the very act of doing it
they are already reducing the cost. One
reason why these products have hitherto
cost too much is because nobody seems
to know exactly how much they do cost.
Examination sheds light, and light dis
pels ignorance. Then let the discussion
of this subject 60 forward. 1t is evident
that farmers have here struck the key
note that is to inaugurate new era in
their calling. After careful study of
the subject for several years, and as the
result of some experience and observa-
ton, we are confident there is point in
the cost of production lower than any yet
reached in this country, and which lies
practically within the reach of a majority
of farmers. 1t would be easy to show
that the present average cost of produc-
tion for the whole country might be re-
duced in the present state of our knowl-
edge at least so per cent.-Erchange.

The japanese at Work in the Centen.
nial Grounds.

The Centennial Exhibition, at Phila-
delphia, will assert the truism that one
half of the world doesn't know how the
other half lives. 1t seems that those
gingerbread completed orientals, of
whom Christendom has until very re-
Gently known so little, are already ex-
citing the jealous curiosity of the Yankee
nation by their skill and mechanical in
genuity on the centennial grounds. The
Japs are erecting their own building,
and, doubtless, it will be filled with in
comprehensive eastern curiosities. If
they show themselves scientific artisans
in Philadelphia, anxiety will soon be
aroused to have them import their skill
to this Gland of the Free" ect. This will,
probably, be followed by an emptying of
the Japanese Islands into the unoccupied
lands of America. Then comes, as has
already come to California, "too much of
the good thing" and the skill will be
learned and appropriated, but the i'm.
porter will be driven back to his oriental
home
The Chinese are infesting California
literally, and evil results are anticipated
from their continued immigration. With
the endurance of donkeys, and a skill
peculiar to themselves, they are knock
ing the underpinning away from the
laboring classes in that auriferous coun-
try by materially reducing the price of
labor, and if they will not be Ku-kluxcd
shortly by the scores, we don't under
stand American character.
With the Chinese in San Francisco,
and the japanese in Philadelphia, prov
ing to us that all our boasted go-ahead-
ativeness is but fogyism compared with
their more advanced mechanical science,
we should BIZ taught lesson in humility
that may profit us in these times of un-
rest and corruption.
A Philadelphia daily has the follow
ing:
The Japanese carpenters at work fasci-
nate crowds of curiosity hunters, Yankee
artisans and thieves. To keep at dis
tance, guard fence has been put around

Philadelphia carpenter, whom saw lean
ing over the fence yesterday afternoon,
said, in answer to my question whether
any one could go inside:
aOh, no. They had to put this con-
Germ to keep out just such men as me.
They've got tools in there that American
carpenters can't hold a candle to, and
they found out that some folks around
here wasn't above stealing. But their
tools amt half as ingenious as their ways
of handling 'em. Pve watched that fel-

nection between them two posts; see
how quick he saws it in two with that
little fine tool of his. Now look at him

breadth, and yet he did it with his eye.
Now, notice that other little cuss over
yonder. He's fxin one dove-tail to tit
another; he hain't touched anything in
the shape of a rule since he began, and
you'll see he'll make them two joints set

GOOD Cows CHEApEsT.-Farmers
make serious mistake in not raising
better stock, as it cost no more to feed a
COW worth $l00 than it does one worth $40.
All you have to do in order to have good
cows is to buy good bull of any breed
that is noted for procuring good milch
COWS, and with two or three first rate ma
tive COWS one can soon have COWS that
will milk 20 quarts day just as we'll as
those that give only six or eight quarts.
Yearling bulls of blooded stock can often
be bought quite cheap, to be kept year
or longer before used. The AYRSHIRE is
is probably the best milk producing cow
we have. The Durhams make the best
beef cattle, and sometimes good mixers;
the Devons are very hardy, and make
splendid working oxen, but are not noted
as good mixers; the Alderneys and Jer-
seys (both about the same breed are too
small for farmers, and their milk is too
rich to 60 to cheese factories, as it produ-
ces pound of butter to six or seven
quarts, while native cows milk makes
only a pound to thirteen or fourteen
quarts of milk.

ASHES For SWEET POTATOES

Inotice the question is asked, which is
the best fertilizer or manure for sweet po-
tatoes? From the experience have had
in manuring the sweet potato, l must say
that rotted (hard woodl ashes, when prop
erly put on, has precedence over all 9th
ers have had any cxperince with. The
plan that 1 adopted was to open q deep
furrow with scooter plow, and put i'll
plenty of ashes. Bed out on the ashes,
and sure crop may be realized on the
poorest soil. Cow-penning is good also
so are cotton seed and stable manure; but
after experimenting with ashes, they will
all be abandoned. 1 experimental on as
poor soil as had, and the result was
as fine crop of potatoes as l ever saw on
any kind of land. Rotted ashes is good
for cotton also and almost any kind of
vegetation. am convinced there is not
better fertilizer made than rotted ash

I return you at her request. We-my
mother, my sister, and myself-have ever
gratefully acknowledged the obligations
we are under to you, for services and
kinduesses rendered at different times
during the late war. But these obliga-
tions, I am panied to write, have been
cancelled by the insolent inferences and
the presumptious hopes to which your
letter gives expression. To assure you
how groundless have been your assump-
tions, permit me, with Miss Maham's en-
tire consent, to inform you that in few
weeks she will become the bride of Maj.
Egan.
